Captain Lee opened up more about the incident in a blog post. "Ashton, you had a good week, right up till the end," wrote the Bravo star. "What in the world were you thinking?... What would then prompt you to have a couple of major lapses in judgement that way. I think you let your raging hormones get in the way of good thinking."
It seems most of Captain Lee's judgement was reserved for Pienaar, who ended up kissing Chastain after being encouraged to focus on her by Brian de Saint Pern. It was a selfish move for de Saint Pern, as he wanted to keep Pienaar away from Courtney Skippon so that he could flirt with her. "Brian, I thought that was a pretty smooth move deflecting Ashton's attention to Kate and away from Courtney, but I'm not so sure that Kate appreciated it," wrote the captain.
