If you want to watch a show where adults in their mid-30s with severe alcoholism, mental health issues, and problems, act like they are 21 and in college, you should watch this show.

I've never seen a show with 35 year olds act like they are 21, even 18, as much as this. It's like a pre-requisite to be a deckhand on a Yacht that you have to be an alcoholic, like drama, and have your life in complete disarray. It's all of them. Like none of them are functioning adults.

They blow their little work problems out of proportion, like you're folding the laundry wrong, or you placed this mop in the wrong closet, or this set of dishes are out of place. Like it's a huge deal to them these little things. These people would have complete mental breakdowns if they had to deal with the planning, investor pitching/funding, offtake convincing to buyers/finalizing, and the logistics of starting a billion dollar plus capex energy infrastructure project that I have to deal with day to day.

They get their tips, like $1,500, think it's a shite ton of money and go blow it all that night at the bar. I hate this show so much, but can't stop watching. I guess it makes me feel like I have my life more in order and better about myself.

The guests pay high 6 figures for a few days cruise on a luxury yacht and expect 5 star service. The little details about how clothes are folded and things like that matter. They are dealing with mega ballers that expect nothing short of perfection. It's not like being a maid at the Holiday Inn.

My better half watches all the "Below Decks"

The captain of the sailing vessel is the most rational person based on the bits I have seen...

Well, of course they are. They're the ones making six figures, degreed, and are actually skilled in a position most aren't. Anyone can be a deckhand. The deckhands just have their priorities in the complete wrong place.

Who exactly do you think chooses being a Yachtie as their career? High functioning med school types.

A bunch of the Below deck broads end up doing Onlyfans.

Same, I love all of the variants. I'm disappointed they are canceling Adventure and we lost Captain Lee, but there just so much goodness here.

Well, that's the entire reason they take that kind of job. To make some cash, travel to exotic locales, frick some skanks and act like a 20 year old. It's the entire point. Not everyone wants to sit at a desk and deal with billion dollar CAPEX or whatever lame job you do.

Oh I like the show overall but it varies a lot by season/cast.
Some seasons are awful.

I don't watch the show so I can't remember the name of them. Only one committed to memory is Ashley Marti.
