Abdi ( @shukrisayshi) as we celebrate Shannon Tweed, provide a pertinent time code, and explore what happens when Mitch finally throws cauti...
We’ve got a supersized holiday weekend episode for you! Baywatch continues its streak of tackling social issues...poorly. Eddie is in legal trouble. Mitch has regrets. Megan and Turner wonder what could have been. Ben gives terrible advice. Spoiler alert: we hated these episodes! But we still had a blast talking about them with our special guest, Erin Smith (@erinkellysmith). We talked goofs, trivia, the problematic messaging, and end by awarding our lowest score in Baywatch Watch history. What ...

Thorpe is there too. Join Zach, Charlie, and special guest Meg Joh (host of the po...
In the second to last episode of the season, Cort’s womanizing ways land him an invite on a sexy lady’s boat, and while they’re out at sea he just so happens to catch a glimpse of an “old friend” on another boat passing by. What a seemingly inconsequential coincidence except for the fact that he thought his old friend died years ago! This inspires Cort to get in touch with Kate, the maybe dead guy’s widow. THE TWIST?! Their relationship is platonic, which sends Cort cascading down a series of ba...
Set design really shakes things up this season finale when a giant earthquake destroys Baywatch headquarters (and all of LA). Ceilings cave in and pipes burst with steam; it’s groundbreaking stuff! The earthquake leaves all our favorite characters rattled. Gina falls off a roof. Craig, Cort, and their lackluster acting are stuck in an underwater cave. Hobie tries to give Rocky a bath! And if that’s not scary enough, Shauni tells Eddie, “the ground isn’t the only thing shaky around here!” Will a ...
A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE OF BAYWATCH WATCH! We got an actual script from this episode (The Big Race) and we did a table read with our guests Anna Salinas and Edgar Momplaisir! Does the script vary much from the episode that aired? Wildly so in many ways. You get the feeling that the director looked at the script and often said "Yeah, we're not gonna shoot that. We'll do this instead." Each of us read the part of 4 different characters in this script that features a high-stakes water ski race, Cort...
Sharks!!! There's sharks everywhere in Baywatch thanks to Bucky Allen's Ocean Grill Shark Derby. What do all of those words mean? Well, Bucky Allen is a sleazy guy that owns a restaurant by the ocean, and he's decided that the best way to drum up business for his Ocean Grill is to sponsor a Shark Derby, where fishers compete to catch the biggest shark and win a $25,000 prize. Eddie, Cort, Hobie, and Captain Thorpe are all doing their best to catch the largest shark, but Mitch wants nothing to do...
Eddie has become infatuated with a troubled ghost that is running around the shores and cliffs of Baywatch in a long, white gown, with a lavendar ribbon in her hair. She's obviously from another time period because a modern ghost from 1990 would probably be wearing something neon with lots of accessories and maybe some sunglasses too. Eddie's determined to help her out but everyone else thinks that she's a figment of his imagination brought on by stress from the death of his lifeguard partner, K...
Cort takes Eddie and Shauni out to an illegal casino boat for a fun day of betting in tuxes, but unfortunately this leads to Eddie developing a gambling addiction and losing all of his money. It's ok though because he decides to borrow money from the casino so he can gamble some more. Wait, that's a terrible idea! Now Mr. Danvier, the owner of the casino boat, is intent on getting Eddie to pay back his debt immediately or else something terrible is going to happen to him. Meanwhile, Mitch is in ...
Cort gets punished for a not-that-dangerous parasailing incident by being assigned to train new lifeguards at Raging Waters water park. He brings along Eddie to help and together they put lifeguard hopefuls through training that mostly consists of riding the fun water slides at the park. But it's not all fun and games because someone at the park is causing damage by smashing meters and loosening bolts on slides. The episode gives us two prime suspects: Tad, a wannabe lifeguard that doesn't make ...
Craig needs a vacation after his shoe is thrown by Cort at a WWII era naval mine that a fisherman reeled in causing it to explode. So he decides to take Eddie & Cort on a little surfing adventure down in Mexico. But trouble arises when his jeep is stolen by criminals led by an evil American named Regler, who oppressively rules the local town of Mira Flores. And this isn't just any town because Cort used to date Ines, the owner of the saloon, but he left without saying goodbye one day so now ...
In an effort to shake things up Baywatch has added a new character to the show by the name of John "JD" Cort while simultaneously diminishing the importance of poor Trevor the Australian. It seems that someone at NBC said that the show needed more action, more violence, more sex and more putting the people around you in danger without remorse, and they put all of those qualities into one guy. Cort never takes responsibility for the awful things he does but he's presented as a rebel lifeguard her...
The pier is in danger of shutting down for safety reasons unless $50,000 can be raised so someone came up with the great idea to park a 20-ton armored truck filled with $100,000 cash on top of it and put 2 women in bikinis next to it for people to pay $5 cash for a picture with the money and girls. Sure it's slightly confusing but there's really no other way to raise money for a pier in need. Garner is worried that this is a bad idea but later in the episode he seems ok with it. Unfortunately th...
An old flame of Mitch & Craig's named Alison arrives in town for the 11th Annual Mitch Buchannon Rip Festival and they're both still in love with her. Fortunately for Mitch she's still way into him. Unfortunately for Craig she has absolutely no interest in him, but that might be because he's already married to Gina who is conveniently out of town this episode. Or maybe it's because Craig has cold, dead eyes. Either way, Mitch & Alison are all over each other and Craig is so jealous that ...
