I'm hooked on all the Below Deck shows.  I recently read an article about some of the "reality" shows.  On Below Deck, the guests get a significant discount on their charter fee and get free airfare.  They still pay the rest of the charter fee, which is significant, and are responsible for paying the tip--again sizable.  So, you do have to be rich to charter the boat, but aren't paying full price. In my opinion, this allows rich jerks a chance to be stars.  A recent episode of Sailing Yacht had the guests from hell from last season on again-this time with their husbands.  I'm no fool--I'm sure they were asked to return.  The primary was an a$$, plain and simple.  I think he was trying to outdo the other charters so people would talk about him. Did anyone see it?
