- He can be described
as green and sweet,
and she asked Chef Mat
if the greens contained
any beet?
It's Watch What Happens Live
with Captain Sandy and Zee
from Below Deck Med, now.
[cheers and applause]
* Andy Cohen's got the 4-1-1
king king of midnight fun *
[cheers and applause]
All right.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome to
Watch What Happens Live.
I'm your host, Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse
on Below Deck night
with one guest
who gets called Daddy,
and another guest
who is your favorite
den mother of the sea.
From Below Deck: Med,
please welcome
Lady Michelle's Captain,
Sandy Yawn!
Hey, Captain Sandy.
[cheers and applause]
- Hi, Andy.
- Great to see you.
- Hi, everyone.
- And deckhand Zee Dempers.
Hey, Zee! Good to see you.
- Hey, Andy.
Hey, everybody.
- Um, drinking game alert,
my guest won't know it,
but anytime you hear
anyone say this word,
if you're 21 or over,
in honor of Zee
being so good at golf,
drink until everyone wants
to whack you in the balls.
Uh, we have a lot of questions
about tonight's episode,
but first I want to
welcome Delaney
who happens to be
in New York,
who is in our audience.
Um, Delaney,
when you watched, uh,
how the team did with,
uh, one stew down,
did you think maybe Katie
had made the wrong decision
in not keeping you?
- I think so,
but you know, power to them.
They all worked really hard,
so go them.
- Yeah.
Uh, and Sandy,
same question for you.
- I-- well, I think
we should have had Delaney.
- Right.
- I think, uh, Katie admits
she made a mistake and Delaney
should have been onboard.
- So, Sandy,
we haven't spoken to you,
uh, since the beginning
of the season
and I'm wondering
what's been your reaction.
There was so much
you didn't see,
uh, in the realm
of Lexi.
Uh, and now you've seen
all the episodes
and I'm so curious,
what has struck you
about what you've seen
about went on
when you weren't there.
- Disturbing
and I wish that the crew
would have really
painted the picture for me.
Um, just hearing
it's bad
isn't a description
of behavior.
So, you know,
in a position that I'm in,
I need to know details
and I never really got details
until the end and that's
when I let Lexi go.
- Talk to me about,
uh, Chef Mat tonight.
Have you ever seen a Chef
loose it over eggs like that.
- No, I haven't.
I mean,
and then the night out's.
It's like,
it explains a lot,
um, you know from
the beginning of the season,
uh, with him leaving.
And then quitting
a second time.
It just really
shows the character,
you know, obviously
I don't see this.
I don't go out with them.
And then, when I do,
it's... wow.
I just am blown away.
I think that's been
the most volatile
crew experience
I've ever witnessed
watching a show.
- Wow.
Um, so Zee,
talk to me about your reaction
to Lloyd being taken away
by the EMT.
Uh, that had to be scary
for you.
- Yeah, I think obviously
as-as [indistinct] as a team,
anytime you see like
a friend or anything like that
getting into a situation,
you-you feel--
you feel sorry
for the person
and you want to know
what's actually going on,
and how-how bad it is.
So it's just quite
frightening and scary
to see how-how things
can get so hectic.
- Um, Zee,
you know, following up
on what I was
asking Delaney about,
did you all on the deck
feel the strain
of being one stew down?
I mean, was that tough
for you, too?
- Um, at the end of the day,
like, I think deck team
pulls their weight in terms of
trying to help on interior
as much as possible.
So, being a stew down,
we definitely did feel it
because at the end of the day,
we're gonna get pull into--
dragged in to do more stuff.
So, yeah, we did feel it.
- Um, Sandy,
do you think Chef Mat
handled the beet situation
poorly?
- Poorly.
- Yes.
- It's so interesting.
I mean, you Google it
before not after.
And, well, I mean,
it was beet based.
So, she actually tasted beets
and it was beets.
And, I mean,
it wasn't actual beet
but it was a beet lettuce.
- A beet, is a beet,
is a beet!
While the Lady Michelle crew
was busy
having their most
rocking parties,
Captain Sandy was usually
up in her cabin
getting rocked to sleep
by the waters of the Med.
So now that she's had
a chance to see the trouble
they got into,
it's time for...
"You've Yacht To Be
Kidding Me!"
Captain Sandy,
I need your reaction
to your crew's wild antics.
What did you think of Lexi's
hot tub meltdown?
Particularly,
her shading the deckhands
and telling Malia
to stand down.
- I mean, you know, I would say
alcohol's not Lexi's friend.
And I must admit,
every time I saw Lexi,
she was doing her job.
I never did witness
that behavior
but watching it
on television,
the entire jacuzzi episode
between all the crew
was wild.
I mean, it's wild.
I didn't realize really
how wasted the crew got
until I watched it.
And, you know,
Lexi was out of line.
- Thoughts on Courtney's
alter-ego Coco.
[laughing]
- Which we love.
- Yeah.
- Uh, after seeing the dinner
that resulted in Lexi's firing,
who do you think
took lower blows,
Mat or Lexi?
I mean, Mat was an active
participant in that.
- Mat poked the bear.
Mat's a-- he-he's good
at pokin' the bear.
And, um, you know, honestly,
I would have fired them both,
uh, having watched this
because, you know, Mathew
was a part of the problem
as well-- I mean,
you can't egg people on.
You need to diffuse,
not infuse.
And all he did was just
keep adding material to burn.
To, you know,
make a bigger flame.
- Do you think that
any of Zee's many drunken,
off-the-clock tumbles
should have been reported?
- You know, was he hurt?
Is that a bloody mouth?
- Yeah, right.
- I don't know, maybe.
- Thoughts on Malia
giving--
Thoughts on Malia--
yeah, right, a little bit.
Thoughts on Malia
giving Delaney a little crap
for misrepresenting herself
on her CV,
and encouraging Delaney
to embrace being green.
- Well, I mean, you know,
I-- you know, people--
you know, Malia's great,
uh, I think Delaney--
I don't think-- I mean,
she was a stewardess.
I think she was honest.
Uh, did seeing David's fall
make you more or less angry
about the fact that
neither he nor Malia
came clean to you about it.
- More.
- More?
- More. Absolutely.
- Um--
- That-that was
a major fall.
And at the beginning
of the season,
clearly I state,
if you get injured,
it comes right to me.
Because here's why,
if they get injured,
I have to have them
medically looked at
and then sign them back on
that they can do their job.
Because it's a liability
for the owner.
- Right.
- I mean, if he's really hurt
it's a liability, it goes
to the owner, and I'm,
you know-- we sign 'em on,
we sign 'em off, and then
we get 'em medically
cleared to work again.
- Reaction to Lloyd
emotionally opening up
about how he's been
treated by former crews
and your crew really
rallying around him.
- That was beautiful. Just so--
- Yeah.
- The crew were amazing
this year, to be honest.
Like, it was probably
the most happiest crew
I've ever had.
They-they bonded from
the very beginning.
Yes, there were a couple
that didn't, but, you know,
overall, they were
just a happy crew.
They gelled immediately
and w-watching that for me,
especially knowing I love women,
that that was awesome.
- Yeah.
- That was--
[cheers and applause]
- On a scale
from 1 to 10,
how cringy was it watching
David compare Malia
to his mom in
an effort to woo her?
- Is that for me or Zee?
- That's for you,
but I wanna ask Zee, too.
- Oh, well, you know, honestly
it was a little weird.
I gotta say it was
a little strange.
- Zee, what did you think?
- Um, no good, sir.
- Yeah, all right,
thank you, uh, Sandy.
That's all, uh,
very edifying.
Well, Zee, your romantic
gestures to Courtney
left you with
egg on your face.
And actually, one time
you did end up
with a little
blood on your face.
But I wonder if any romantic
gestures by past yachties
make you think they should
never show their faces again.
Let's find out with
"Romantic or Totally Ick?"
Zee, tell me if
these gestures
give you butterflies
in your tummy
or if it makes you
sick to your stomach.
Okay, having sex in
the laundry room?
- Uh, butterflies?
- Yeah, okay.
Um, what about putting rocks
on your boat-mance's ass?
- Uh, uh, sick
to my stomach.
- Yes.
What about telling
your potential girlfriend
that you're into cougars?
- Sick to my stomach.
- Right.
Making things official
by asking your boat-mance
"will you be
my girlfriend"
using a giant sheet
and body paint?
- Wow...
- I-I think it's kinda cute,
but also, Zee, it-it--
are any of these
making you feel better
about you sending
the flowers?
- Uh, yeah, yeah.
- Good.
- What about getting proposed
to over a text message?
- Sick to my stomach.
- What about surprising
your love interest with
a romantic boat ride
with the captain's permission,
of course?
That's nice, right?
- No, I love that.
That's beautiful.
That's really beautiful.
- What about having
the charter guests take
a picture of you kissing
your boat-mance?
- That also sweet,
I guess.
- All right, thank you
very much, Zee.
I appreciate it.
Um, Zee, uh, Kayleigh R.
wants to know why you think
the deck team got so sloppy
towards the end
of the season?
Were you honestly just
tired or did your situation
with Courtney mess
with your head at all?
- Um, I think we were--
we were very fatigued.
It was obviously a long
season and everybody after
working so hard for
so many weeks can tend
to get sloppy
and it's just natural.
Um, and I think at the same
time, you know, our minds sagged
a bit, but mainly just
being-being tired.
- Uh, Sandy,
Eileen D. said,
"Sandy, you would always
work well with Malia,
but this season seemed to
be a lot of tension
between the two of you.
Would you want her--
Would you wanna work with
her again as your bosun?"
- There wasn't a lot
of tension.
- No?
- There wasn't at all.
It was just
that one incident.
Um, honestly, the reason
I reacted so strongly
is because I've invested
in Malia and, you know,
from a person who just wanted
to drive dive boats
to becoming a captain,
um, it-it's--
I overreacted,
number one.
Secondly, it was more
personal to me than it was
just a job because I've
invested my time in her
and I really care.
- So you do think in
retrospect that
you overreacted in
that situation?
- Ab-absolutely.
- You do? Yes.
- Yes. Yes.
- Okay, interesting,
all right.
- Coming up, more
with Sandy and Zee.
Here's who's stopping
by later this week.
Don't go anywhere.
* Below Deck Med *
* Aye Aye Captain *
- Welcome back to
"Watch What Happens Live."
I'm Andy Cohen in
the Bravo clubhouse.
Spilling the Yacht tea
with "Below Deck: Med"
it's Captain Sandy
and Zee Dempers.
Drinking game reminder,
anytime you hear this word,
in honor of tonight's crew
talent show, drink until
your special talent is
falling asleep in public.
Don't forget, if you can't
wait for next week's
"Below Deck: Med" finale,
new episodes drop a week
early on Peacock.
Check it out.
Let's go to
our virtual fans.
Here's Cheryl
from Dallas
with a question for
Captain Sandy Yawn.
What do you got, Cheryl?
- Yes, hello, all.
- Hi, little--
- What was your reaction
hearing Katie
lied to the guests
t-tonight and tell them
that Matt was
already asleep?
Even though it was late,
he should've sucked it up
for the guests.
- Okay, good question.
- Agree.
- Yeah.
- That's right, Katie, uh,
I was not impressed
and I was disappointed.
But yeah, that's
why we're there.
We're there to serve the guests,
I agree with you.
- Mandy from Florida is up
with a question for Zee.
Hey, Mandy.
- Hey, Andy, hey,
Sandy, hey, Zee.
My question's for--
- Mandy, it kind of
looks like that fan
is a hat on your head.
- Oh, no!
Zee, do you agree with Malia
that she held David to
a higher standard on the boat
and do you think
that was
unfair on him?
- Um, yeah, I do agree
that Malia holds David to
a higher standard just
because David is the most
experienced of us all
and he-he knew the most.
So, um, I don't think it was
necessarily unfair, um,
and David took it well,
too, at the same time.
- Okay, thanks
virtual fans.
Just trying to
entertain myself here.
Um, Sandy,
Jen J. said,
"Do you think it was fair of
Katie to make the choice
not to bring Delaney
back considering how much
harder it forced Courtney
and her deck crew to work?"
I guess maybe
we kinda covered that.
- Yeah, and, you know,
Katie covered that as well.
- Yeah.
- Um, she knows she made
a mistake and she agreed.
- That must make you
feel good.
Yeah.
Um, Zee, Gordon M. said,
"What was your reaction
to Sandy's conversation
with Lloyd tonight about
his panic attack.
Did you have any idea
he was so scared
about the season ending?"
- Um, no.
I mean, myself and Lloyd
are obviously cabin mates,
but I didn't know how severe
everything was for him.
And, I guess, at the same time
it makes me feel a bit bad,
um, but I-I hope that I was
there for him enough
at the time.
- Oh.
- You're a nice guy, dude.
You're all heart.
- He totally is.
- He is. He's the sweetest.
I love him.
Sandy, Linda R. said,
"Captain Sandy,
"how did you feel when
Malia said that you hurt her
"to the core when you said
you can't trust her anymore
"after David's leg injury?"
- You know, I think it
goes both ways.
I think Malia looks up to me
sort of like her mentor,
and I invest in her,
so yeah.
I mean, it didn't
feel good at all.
Like, that's the last thing
I want anyone to feel, that--
in any of the crew
that I work with.
I don't ever want them
to feel that way.
And so I believe fatigue,
um, the fact that,
uh, it wasn't reported
to me, and I had,
like Malia had for David,
my expectation for Malia
was really high.
- Yeah.
- And it was terrible.
Like I--
I wish that I could
do it over.
I apologized,
and we're in a good place.
- Zee, uh,
[indistinct] said,
"How do you manage to
keep it civil with Lexi
"after all those nasty things
she said about you?"
- Um, I think just--
you know, personally,
I think you always give people
the benefit of the doubt.
Everyone deserves
a second chance, um,
and try to put things
behind you and move forward.
We all had to work,
and that was the situation
at the time.
- Mzi, in retrospect, do you
regret falling for Courtney,
and are the two of you
in touch?
[chuckling]
- No, no regrets whatsoever.
I think Courtney is
the most amazing human being,
and love her with all my heart,
so no regrets.
- Aaw. And are you
still in touch?
- Yeah, very much still
in touch, so that's great.
- Good.
Uh, well, David's tumble
on the Lady Michelle hot tub
was so painful
and embarrassing
you'd think he wouldn't make
the same mistake twice,
but you thought wrong,
because, oh, no,
mini Davids are
falling everywhere,
so let's play
"It's Raining Daves!"
Tons of mini Daves slip--
as tons of mini Daves
slip and fall their way
into the clubhouse,
I'm gonna drop trivia questions
about this season
on both of my guests.
If you get, uh, seven right
in sixty seconds,
you'll win.
If not, you will drown
in a sea of Daves.
Okay, let's start the clock.
And, go.
Sandy, what color
were the flowers
that Mzi had delivered
for Courtney?
- White and red, uh--
- Yes! White and red!
- Mzi, true or false.
Courtney has worked
at Disney parks.
- True.
[bell dinging]
- True! Sandy, what color scheme
did Mat use to decorate
Athena's disaster
of a cake?
Green and yellow
or blue and orange?
- Green and yellow.
- Yes!
Mzi, who confused the words
polenta and placenta?
- Ooh, was that Courtney?
[bell dinging]
- Yes! Sandy, where did
Delaney go to college?
Stanford or Berkley?
- Berkley.
- Yes!
One more! Mzi, what score did
one displeased charter guest
say she'd give Mat's dinner
if she was doing a Yelp review?
A nine out of ten,
a two out of ten,
or a four out of ten?
- Uh... two out of ten?
- No, a four out of ten!
I drowned in the Daves!
[laughing]
Boy, I really was doing
some scene work there.
Oh, my God.
I'm exhausted.
Stick around. After the break,
more with these guys
and a special
Watch What Happens Five.
* Be right back
BRB *
* BRB *
* NYC NYC *
* AC in the NYC *
- Welcome back to
"Watch What Happens Live."
I am Andy here
with Captain Sandy and Mzi.
Great to see you guys.
[cheering]
Mzi, Patty L. wants to know
what you thought about Mat
being so neurotic about
Captain Sandy confronting him
about the dark fish
on her plate.
Did it affect
his performance at all?
- Um, I think at that stage,
Mat was already quite
in his head about everything
that was going on.
It wasn't a good day.
So I think any--
any negative feedback
or anything like that
would have sent him
in the wrong direction.
- Um, Captain Sandy froze,
but I love how she froze.
Look.
She's kind of
puckering her lips.
Oh, there she is.
Okay, she's back.
Sandy, you froze
in the best way.
Oh, now she froze
on a smile. Okay.
Um, Mzi, Jerry M. wants to know
who deserved who deserved
lead deck hand
the most?
- Ooh.
That's tough to say,
but both Lloyd and David
were amazing, and I think
amazing as mentors and leaders,
so I can't--
I can't say.
- Sandy, Eva I. wants to know
if you had any idea
that Malia was into
her now boyfriend,
hot engineer Jake
from Lady Michelle
during the season,
and is he anything like her ex,
Chef Tom?
[laughing]
- You know, um, honestly,
all the girls on the--
on the crew were after
Martin and Jake,
both of them, constantly.
Like, we had to close
the doors to keep 'em away,
so I'm not surprised.
And, uh, you know,
because-- right, Mzi?
It was crazy.
[laughing]
- Mzi is such a giggler.
- No, they--
- Um, all right, it is time for
Watch What Happens Five.
We all know that
one of my guest's crew mates
kept a burn list,
but as we reflect
on the end of
the charter season,
I thought I would make
a things-to-learn list
as we count down the top five
silly lessons we learned
from this season of
"Below Deck Med.
I know our number five rule
will be a hit
for all you insubordination fans
out there.
It's if you're a yacht chef
during COVID,
you can storm out
as many times as you want
and you might get
your job back,
just like Mat,
right, Sandy?
[laughing]
- Yeah, that's right, twice.
- He got a little lucky there.
Our number four lesson
might cut Mzi deep.
It's only accept
a piggyback ride from Mzi
when he is sober.
Let me remind you why.
[laughing]
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, no.
- Is he okay?
- Oh, (BLEEP).
- Wow. Our next rule proves
that you can drive the boat
and drive the conversation
about maritime fashion.
It's Captain Sandy can
fully rock a smokey eye.
That's our number three.
At number two, all hot tubs
should come with signs
that say "slippery when wet,"
and they should probably be
large enough to read
while wasted. Watch.
[screaming]
[gasping]
- Dave!
- Are you okay?
[laughing]
- And our number one lesson
left the deck crew
totally deflated.
It's unicorn floats don't
have a long life span,
so don't get too
emotionally attached.
Wow, I guess there's
no better life coach
than the sea.
I wanna thank Captain Sandy
and Zee for being here.
The word of the night was Mat.
We said it 11 times.
If you've been playing
our drinking game,
no driving.
Tomorrow night,
Scheana Shay will be here
after "Vanderpump Rules"
with Shangela.
Watch our aftershow
on Twitter Live now.
Thanks, you guys.
[cheers and applause]
