Youre on reality TV!

You chose to be onreality TVtopay less; youre not as elite as you think you are!

Especially if youre caught smoking cigarsbackwardafter proclaiming in your preference sheet that you are a cigar aficionado.

Did they deserve it?

Was it one of the worst beaches Ive ever seen in this franchise?

Two things can be true at once.

The primarys wife asking Fraser for a paper napkin to spit out her chorizo is mind-blowing.

You know youre just drawing more attention to yourself, right?

But also shes giving Karen Huger, so I lightly respect it.

My biggest complaint about service?

Camille calling queso fundido queso fondant and referring to tri-tip as dry tip.

I mean, really?

In fact, they dont even notice shes gone because she contributed nothing while on deck duty.

Fraser and Captain Sandy say Camille is putting in the work; Alissa, not so much.

Hayley is probably the most impartial, and for that reason, well never learn what she thinks.

Shes off playing 3-D chess while the rest of the cast is playing checkers.

Now that Camille is gone, Ross and Ben are picking on Tony and his slow-moving work ethic.

They blame his fatigue on his early-morning workouts.

Have they ever considered that maybe hes just tired because working on a superyacht sucks?

I personally think Tony is fine.

Hes not going to be the best, but he doesnt have to be.

Count your blessings, Ben and Ross!

But back to the question of whether Camille is improving.

The montage of Camille lounging in the ocean with the guests post-picnic is definitely damning.

See: Captain Sandy and Hayley doing toe touches while the guests were enjoying their picnic.

I am, however, concerned about what will happen to this couple.

Theyre burning too fast and too hot, which ultimately will result only in an explosion.

Katie has a good head on her shoulders, but I still wish she would get away from Ross.

Ive said this before, and Ill say it again: Ross is a creep and a potential liability.

A lot of his behavior veers way worse than inappropriate, and I dont want Katie to get hurt.

At least shes self-aware, which is a rarity in this franchise.

I cant have him acting like that then sleeping with me.

It makes me look like an idiot, she admits in a confessional 10/10, no notes.

And dont you even think for a second about involving Hayley!

She has nothing to do with this!

Even though I think Camille is a piss-poor worker, it takes two to tango.

Camille, honey, youre tarnishing your own reputation, but sure.

I dont see how either of them wins, frankly.
