Our new stew is not so new after all.
Alissas replacement, Leigh-Ann, comes aboard this week, and she and Ben have some history.
They have nudes of each other, but the pair had never even met in real life until now.
Is this sheer coincidence?
Or were the producers tipped off to this little love affair?
This question is not rhetorical; I genuinely want to know.
I fear for her life if Camille ever decides to strike, though.
Im not sure if I would have read my DMs with Ben aloud, but to each their own.
This is an incredible reminder to the viewers that hot people are so often cringe.
Take Ben, for example.
Yet he sexts like a teen boy.
There is nothing worse or more embarrassing than rereading sexts.
And yet Ill be listening.
But were getting ahead of ourselves.
Captain Lee and his gold chain are back!
Captain Sandy decides to keep his return under wraps until hes actually back on the island.
Its a genuinely bittersweet moment.
Theyre really going to miss one another!
This isnt faking it for the cameras!
If Captain Lee has a problem with it, he doesnt let it show.
Does this mean hes finallydisembarking for good?
Rachel garnishes everyones food with 24-karat gold, not just Laquishs, which makes me laugh.
I dont know a damn thing about edible gold, but I do know thats simply not true.
And the fact that these pageant queens only tip a paltry $18,000?
After we see the state ofthosecabins?
The crown they give Captain Sandy isnt worththatmuch, Ill tell you that!
Captain Sandy and her coaching methods live to see another day.
All it took was cutting out the cancers of the boat: CamilleandAlissa.
What else, what else?
Ben and Tony unionize against Katie because theyre sick of her bossing them around.
Katies a #girlboss, and anyone with eyeballs could spot that from a mile away.
The power dynamic here is awful to witness and, frankly,a mess, but lets move on.
Katie apologizes to Tony, and its actually a really sweet moment.
Tony is a sensitive old soul, and Katie is overcompensating for being a woman in yachting.
Whatever beef they had is squashed, and Im proud of them for getting past this.
Hayley and Tyler also have a tender heart to heart.
What a terrifying, fantastic gateau.
Absolutely iconic in every way and the only appropriate tribute to Hayley.
Well done, Fraser.
Captain Sandy is noticing Fraser upping his game as well.
She hugs him in front of everyone before her departure and sends him an extremely thoughtful text.
She sees him and the changes hes making.
And with that, its time for her to go.
