S07.E01: Theres No Place Like Home - Below Deck Mediterranean
Yeah early impressions are usually good and the cast are happy to meet each other. Then we learn why familiarity breeds contempt.
Lot of experience in the crew with Natasha, Dave the chef.
Jason the first deck crew member was complaining because he was literally doing all the heavy lifting. I can believe Malta had some strict quarantine requirements to enter the country. But I smell shenanigans, they can set the schedule however they like so they could have waited another day to start the charter or flown all the cast in the same day to be on the same calendar.
Two of the women are clearly ready to mingle, which is good for the males on the cast and Bravo. They were teasing Natasha about her and Dave sharing a cabin and she kept saying there was nothing going on. Then she goes to cabin, asks Dave if he wants to screw. Next morning, they're being all kissy face and she's talking about being naked. Did she just decide to hook up with him then or were they a thing already when they worked together or before they came on this boat?
Natalya happened to notice Storm is very fit first time she meets him. Storm is Mzi's friend and Mzi got him this job but looks like Storm may get the kind of female attention Mzi couldn't get in season 6.
Everyone seemed to work pretty well except Raygan, who was shown taking smoke and drink breaks.
The boat is different. The name is "Home" and it's a hybrid and the external design and interior decor are all modern, none of the brass or gold hardware you see in some of the other BD boats. Cabins, including the crew cabins seem bigger. But even though the BD captains are all fond of calling the BD boats "super yachts" some of the crew obviously worked on much bigger yachts, with Natasha having looks like a half dozen stewardesses working for her.
So they have to stow all the water toys in the front, under the deck, instead of at the back, near the water level. It seems they have to lift some of them up to the deck and then use the winch to lower them onto the water? Seems like more work and potential for accidents.
Meanwhile the stabilizers stop working and the yacht starts to sway heavily back and forth, causing everything inside to spill to the floor.
And they're not even sailing!
