You pay for the latest seasons and Google (or Bravo TV) "trickle feed" you one show at a time. You can't even predict when they upload them, it's as if they suddenly remember to throw a show on. REAL FRUSTRATING! Been waiting for the final episode of SEASON 6 for 2 weeks. 1 star to Google or Bravo TV. The show is predicable yet really entertaining, I give it 4 stars!

Sandy is a power drunk tyrant. Sandy plays to the camera to try and make herself look compassionate. There is a reason her boat has so much turn over, Sandy is the reason. Her management skills are nonexistent. I wish I hadn't bought the season ticket. I don't want to watch any more of Sandy and her ass kissing Malia. Sandy and Malia both have delusions of grandeur, thinking that a 1-2 day first aide/ CPR class gives them the education and judgement to know what "drugs" and mental illness are. Let's really improve this show and get rid of Sandy.

Captain Sandy was the reason I started watching this. Strong female leader and someone who seemed to care about her staff was my impression but her very poor leadership qualities and the choices she made hint of a personal agenda I find I dont want to watch any more. Heck...if this woman were my boss I would need a lot more than Xanax and CBD to get through the day. After five years Hannah deserved better from her Captain and the show IMO but that's what this is "my little opinion."
