S02.E04: Barrie'd Alive - Below Deck Sailing Yacht

 That $5000 tip could have just come from Bravo.

For that matter, all the tips could, with the guests handing over the envelope for show.

Hmm, book 9 people so that there aren't even enough beds but the chef is expected to produce plated meals for all of them, on time?

Or have them all demand cocktails all the time and they're spending a lot of time hand-washing cocktail glasses?

Smells like producers brainstorming on how they could stress the crew out.

And who's paying for the booze?  Because there seemed to be a lot of supply.  I know they want to show all these singles mingling, making out or eventually getting into drunken fights.  But it's already tiresome.

The crew nights going out to restaurants and clubs were also contrived but at least they went to some places that looked interesting sometimes, like terraces in a beautiful setting.

Of course they probably have little choice in the matter, though why did Croatia allow in tourists if not to prop up their tourism industry which would include a lot of bars and restaurants?  Maybe last year they didn't know that outdoor dining, properly spaced apart, was relatively safe.  Of course, people could congregate in the restrooms or whatever but if they spent most of the time outdoors, with the tables spaced apart, it shouldn't be that bad.
