As usual, the reunion is not in person, so we have the Brady Bunch situation. And it’s even just done in the clubhouse. When I was researching it on my Bravo app on my phone to rewatch it, it’s categorized under WWHL, not BDSY. So if you’re trying to locate it on the Bravo app, or Peacock, that could be why. “THAT’S weird.” (if you watched RHONY premier you get that)
They used to be in person, but when the reunions were all remote because of the scamdemic in 2020, they just stuck with the remote thing for BD.
I get it, they’re all in different parts of the world and whatever, but somehow they managed to do them all in person before?? I understand Andy hates the BD reunions, I was told by a little birdie.
He doesn’t seem to be too miserable at this one, though. I guess he’s kind of into it this year, with all of this extra messy shit. Andy does seem like he’s kind of a perv, with all due.
Let me clarify one thing, but most of you probably have realized this by now. There was a lot of chatter on the groups, questioning whether Daisy and Gary were together, you know together- together, because they were both in Spain.
People seem to think that Daisy is in a bathroom, which I kind think it does too. So it appears as if they are in the same hotel room.
However, they are currently filming the new season, and that’s allegedly why they are both in Spain. I’m not saying they may NOT be in the same room. I’m not saying they’re NOT hooking up, just explaining the room Spain situation.
Clearly, Colin is not participating in this upcoming season, and I actually think that’s probably a good idea, given what we know now about him and Daisy’s failed relationship, which did not end amicably. Also he and Gary seem to be on the outs. I think Colin was just like – ‘yeah pass.’
He’s currently on his boat in French Polynesian islands, and who all hates him right now? It looks absolutely miserable and awful, doesn’t it?
Poor guy. I was corrected on one of the Facebook chats when I said he was in France.
Someone got all excited – and was “NO! he’s in French Polynesia” Whatever, well you know, it’s a territory of France, they speak French. Chill out. Some people on those chat groups, I will tell you, must have NOI life, and really do like to try your patience.
I just said “thank you” but actually, I do sometimes lose it on those assholes,
Especially the ones that say, something like, “leave them alone” for chastising me for a certain post about a Bravoleb, on a page designated for this.
I had a post recently on a FB chat page, and the name of it was ‘Housewife Gossip Page.’ GOSSIP PAGE. GOSSIP.
So long story long, this woman scolded me for my post,
She proceeded to get an earful, or eyeful, I guess is more appropriate to say. I was worried I would get kicked off of the group. I didn’t cuss or call her a name – but pointed out she sounded really unintelligent. She even misunderstood my post and sort of made my point for me in her ‘correction.’
Hopefully, I made an impact (so the day wasn’t a total loss! I put some karen in her place! ) and she’s not gonna be doing that shit anymore. And one more thing, before I move on. It’s always the people that never have their own original thoughts, and never make any of their own posts. They literally just troll everyone else who has the gumption to make a post, and share their thoughts.
I have to mention Chase and his adorable little puppy in a backpack.
Poor Ileisha is in Australia, and had to get up at 3 AM for filming. Still looks gorge.
They joke about Chase and his tequila drinking from the boobies joke to Lucy that did not land. At all.
She indicates what I said at the time, this shit does NOT fly in the UK; this is not how you hit on European girls. Remember I said that !! (in my recap for that episode.)
Daisy’s various meltdowns on deck:
She didn’t really like that “don’t work harder work smarter” commentary from Glenn. Actually he was acknowledging that she does work hard. (sort of)
Tough titties, Daisy. Suck it the hell up. Glenn addressed this in a calm and respectful manner, and wasn’t meant to be humiliating or insulting. Daisy would last like two seconds with Sandy Captain (Creeper) Sandy if she found this beyond offensive,
Captain Creepy would NOT be patient with this ignoring her radio and ignoring the guests crap. Daisy would’ve been in the fetal positon in a puddle of tears in the corner, had she done this shit with SandCrab.
She needed to get her head out of her ass, and take her job seriously. She admits she needs positive reinforcement, and cannot deal with any type of criticism, which is conflicting to me for her to say that. Didn’t she say at the end of the season, that she realizes she gets defensive when she’s just given a little feedback or suggestions, and needs to learn to handle it a bit better?
I actually like Daisy I do, but she’s a little bit of a weird one in some ways. She thinks that the ‘negative feedback’ that she was getting was minuscule and was ‘personal.’
In actuality, they were not minuscule infractions. A guest injured and bleeding, when she had her radio down, and no service for 20 fucking minutes, is not minuscule. What is wrong with this girl? I thought she was working on this shit. It’s s been like a year so she said that she’s working on accountability. She’s literally passing the buck and placing the blame on everybody else.
She even goes so far as a call it ‘irrelative.’ (if I heard that right, maybe it was her accent) Andy corrects the word to ‘irrelevant’ without really pointing she made up a word. That was nice of him.
Ignoring guests that DID need service, and a guest bleeding in need of fucking Band-Aid is is irrelevant? What is wrong with this girl?? How much fucking wine did she drink? She’s being defensive as fuck, right after vowing to not be defensive. Did she not watch the show back?
She was caught on camera more than once I would say, at least three times as not being attentive to the guests, because she was doing other things that were not involving work. This shit was all on camera.
She sounds like the fucking village idiot right now. I don’t really she’s anything close to intelligent to be honest, and again I like her management style, and how she treats and encourages the stews, so I’m really not trying to be a dick, but she’s not doing herself any favors here. She needed to stick with the “I’m still working on myself.” I mean again it’s on fucking camera, Daisy. Use your teeny little fucking brain.
They show some of the crew’s faces as this deflecting garbage is spewing out of her mouth and they’re looking at her in disbelief, as is Andy.
She has no ability to just laugh at herself, or take any type of ownership for mistakes she may have made. She was definitely off this season, it was clear to see. Probably had a lot to do with Colin, and from what we learned in Part 2, they were already a thing prior to the charter, so I think that was a big part of her head being up her asshole. She had a new dude she was all excited about, and a little bit nervous about Gary, because they had a fling. She’s irritating me. As this all continues on, she insists she can take criticism, when clearly she can’t.
Time to just move on.
“Gary could probably manage better and lead better.” I don’t disagree, but not sure she’s in a position to offer advice, but whatever.
This life or death matter gets addressed, as to whether or not a stew goes to the beach or not with the guests. Glenn does acknowledge that on that one episode, Lucy did not need to go to the beach to help with set-up, because the guests were still on the boat at that time, and demanding shit non-stop, while Lucy was basically sitting around waiting for them to arrive at the beach. Daisy is correct here. And I also think the guys can handle handing out drinks. If it’s a whole lunch thing, then yes, probably a stew should be there.
But let’s face it – Gary’s recommendation that a stew go to the beach because “it’s more professional” is a line he pulled out of his ass, when he wanted Scartlett to go with him last season, solely because he was into her. Then Glenn the Captain, unbelievably started repeating that line this season. Remember Daisy knew what he was up to, and she went along instead of sending Scarlett, (to literally hand out drinks – there was not food) and the guests literally didn’t even want anything the entire time. I think they were snorkeling, so no one was interested in getting buzzed.
Gary comments that “guys can’t be serving food.” Daisy fires back with how it’s okay for the female stews to be helping with docking. He walked right into that. Thank God for Daisy being quick enough to come up with that one.
We revisit the incident of the smoke on the boat, and Gary barging into the control room to let Colin know, when Colin says the engineering area is his turf, and it was a bit dramatic to push the camera guy out of the way. I think maybe Colin just got overly offended because he was pissed off at him, at this point, over his mixed messaging and flirtation with Daisy. Sort of like misdirected anger, yes, at the right person, but not for the actual issue.
We all know that Gary is overly dramatic, but perhaps. he wasn’t aware that Colin was already dealing with the situation, and I don’t mean to be defending Gary. I don’t think pushing the camera guy was completely necessary. There’s more back and forth bickering. Don’t think these guys’ friendships will ever be the same again. Don’t think Colin is missing out on much.
Ileisha’s on deck, and Andy, quickly sort of addresses how Glenn was kind of on her shit in the very beginning, which was just so completely unnecessary. It was the first charter, and I think she was even new to being yacht chef. Her plates were taking just a few minutes longer than normal. You could clearly tell she was going to be great, but was just getting acclimated.
I don’t think this chick had one single critical comment about one fucking single morsel of food that she put out. Not one. And that has to be a record.
I don’t know any other Below Deck chefs that can say that. She did it all with a fucking smile on her face, and was never abusive, cranky, or even a little bit short with any of the crew during service ever. If anything, she put up with a bunch of shitty undeserved comments from Colin, of all people. I guess it’s because he liked her, as we learn in part 2? Bro, are you like,ten??
She’s sweet as fuck, and just cute as a fucking button, so Glenn and Colin, should be eating their words at this point. No pun intended.
I think when Chase was nursing, her burnt thumb, possibly, is when they sort of bonded? He really is a sweet kid.
“How much of the timing between courses was the stews’ fault?” What a dumb ass fucking question. The stews fault that the courses were not timely? Was that a Bravo question or viewer question?
Did Bravo roll that shit out due to last BD season when Fucking Sandy Fucking Captain Creepo tried to blame the stews for Rachel‘s (her latest crush) timing between plates? Somehow Rachel got lassoed into that belief, because of Creepy Captain Creepy’s love bombing, and over-complimenting her.
Think that BS question got asked as a flimsy attempt to justify Capt Creepy’s accusations last year, since she was, you know, first page in the playbook when you’re tryin’ to create tyranny, and a commy-style atmosphere – find the differences, (departments) and turn people against each other.
Massive unnecessary compliments to the deck crew. Such as, “hey, you got out of bed this morning, EXCELLENT job!!!! Why can’t the stews be more like you??
It still fucking irks the shit out of me that they never did the reunion last season. Which was OF COURS to cover her ass, so that she didn’t have to be held accountable for her tyrannical, racist, and anti-gay behavior. I know she’s also gay, but some lesbians are repulsed by gay men. She’s clearly one of them. There was obvi personal disdain for Fraser, and you can’t convince me any different. If you disagree, you need to watch that season back.
There were a lot of Sandy issues there that they did not want to address, because they want to keep her as a captain. They like having a female, and a lesbian captain. Checks a lot of the Bravo boxes, so guess Bravo’s willing to just let her continue to creep on the young straight girls, and make them feel uncomfortable in the name of having a female captain. What if it was a DUDE in his 60’s creeping on the 25 year-old girls?? Would that be okay?? No, it wouldn’t be.
I’m confident Rachel will be ready to talk about it at some point. When she’s ready.
If I were her I would NOT work with Captain Creepy anymore. Ever. I believe she hung up the whole BD gig all together after that nightmare. I think Fraser, Alissa, and Rachel need to form an alliance, and come out publicly about her disgusting behavior. So guys, if you’re reading this…
A captain that divides departments against each other? Picks on gay guys? Singles out a black girl, and fires her, just because she didn’t call her ‘Captain?’ Let’s face it. She didn’t like that Alissa stood up to her, and was seeing through her bullshit, and not taking it. She’s used to everyone being submissive to her.
Guess that’s all fine and dandy with Bravo, just so they can have a certain demographic as a captain. That type of mindset is idiotic. You don’t check boxes. You look for the best man or woman for the job, and Captain Creeper ain’t it. This is what you get when you’re worried about ‘representation.’
******
Moving on – sorry for the rant.
The cake!! So yeah, that’s all on Daisy. She’s the one that was fucking dying for a slice of it, (and proceeded to shovel it into her mouth) and she’s the one that ordered Ileisha, even though you could tell she was hesitant, to cut the entire leftover portion up (half of it) and put it on the crew table. Amazingly, she even takes responsibility for that. Common sense would have been to leave 1 or 2 slices, just in case. I have a sweet tooth too, so I can relate. However, I would think I would have been smart enough to know not to eat every last morsel of a dessert intended for someone else.
A little plug for my site, I did research what kind of cake that was, (I was so curious – especially with the blow torched frosting!) and it seems like the best dang birthday cake ever served on Below Deck, ever.
I actually made it, and posted the recipe on my site. Below is the link if you missed it. It’s called a Cipriani Meringue Cake. Was actually not too bad to make. There were a lot of steps, and I also don’t have a blow torch so I had to improvise, (broiling – not recommended but worked sort of) and my meringue got a little overdone. But overall, I have to say, not to brag, it turned out really really well! And so light and yummy! I can see how it got inhaled by the guests and crew, and a second slice got requested. “Adults usually don’t ask for more cake” Daisy told Chase when he even questioned letting the crew have the remaining half. Well, maybe she shoulda tasted it first, before she offered those ‘words of wisdom.’
It’s so moist and light. Damn, I have to make it again, now now I’m hungry for it again.
Not sure why Andy singles Chase out as being the one that ate it, as he quickly points out. They even show Daisy literally stuffing it in her face, and again, not the harp on this, but she is the one that ordered for it to be cut up and served to the crew.
Ileisha is so sweet, she tries to get in on the blame, and from what I recall when Daisy ordered it to be cut up, she said something like “are you sure?”
Colin gets asked about the Marcos shit he said to her. Oh, he regrets saying that. Ya think?? I would hope so. I wish Andy would’ve brought up the other snarky comments he made to her, so he was forced to apologize for all of that too.
“Do you always have problems with time management?” “You pick the most time consuming dishes when you have to serve 20 people?”(when guests requested crew dine with them – which she killed BTW) Oh, and when she was asking for his opinion on a dish – “YOU’RE the chef” in a condescending way.
She knows she’s the chef, dick. Hey Colin, YOU’RE a condescending prick with a girl, but too much of a pussy to stand up to Gary! SO THERE!!
Asshole. Over Colin, glad he’s not on the new season
Liked him better, I know I’ve said this several times, but I’m gonna say it again, when he was sweet, mysterious, QUIET, and stayed out of the drama. Now that he’s been running his mouth, and participating in the drama, not sure I’m liking him.
Ileisha and her boyfriend have broken up, (prob an asshole anyway, maybe he prefers ugly hags that CAN’T cook!) and who all was a little bit surprised to hear THIS news? Chase and Ileisha had gotten together after the season ended. I kind of was. He even came to Australia to see her from the US, and she came here. As I’m sure you know, you don’t have to be a geography whiz, that’s one long ass fucking flight. That’s kind of cool, but it kind of just sounds like the sparks weren’t flying, and nothing really came of it. Coupled with, of course, it’s difficult to have your person other on the other side of the world.
Seems like the crew was also pretty shocked about this too. I don’t know how this all stayed under wraps for so long. Guess there were no social media postings, nobody spotted them, and they told no one. All of which are very hard to believe.
“You came to the boat with guns, blazing for Chase,” Andy he tells Gary. Yeah, he kind of did, then at the end he started commplimenting him.
I need to address something that just kind of did occur to me with all of this drama over Alex not cleaning the boat to the correct standards? Isn’t it kind of hard to clean at night, in the dark?
As in you can’t really see things that are dirty. Seems logical to me. Also if the kid never had any clear direction of what the focus was to be on, and what to make sure to clean, that might not be completely obvious when it’s pitch black, was that kind of on Gary? Stupid. and Chase came off as a tattle-tale bitch because he WAS a tattle-tale bitch. He needed to not involve Gary.
We all knew it’s coming, and now we get the Mads/Gary/Alex Daisy/Colin love – pentagon?? I mean there are five people involved in this strange relationship predicament. Five. With Gary being a participant in both ‘triangles.’ So what does that tell you, about his sincerity for these two women? It was nothing but a competition.
I also want to point this out. The type of clingy behavior that Gary was displaying towards Mads, he had displayed in the past two seasons toward Ali (was her name I think) in the first season, and Scarlett last season. It just wasn’t to this extent, since the ‘relationship’ didn’t start early in the charter.
Last season, he didn’t like Trashley at all, as we know, because she made herself too available. And by ‘too available’ I’m being nice.
It was no type of challenge for him whatsoever, and I think her begging for him to fuck her constantly, was off-putting to him. He likes to be the one in control, and it has to be HIS idea. (that sounds familiar) So anyway, what I’m trying to say here, is that if you recall the first season, (if not, go back) when he and Sydney hooked up the very first night, (like Trashley, it was too easy, although I hate to compare her to Trashley) sadly, her heart was attached to her vagina, like dudes’ brains are attached to their dicks, and she thought the meaningless hook-up meant she was now in love with him. He ended up ignoring her afterwards, and claiming to be into Ali. Which, he really was not, he just pretended he was, to be a douche to Sydney, because she wasn’t enough of a challenge, I guess. He was like – ‘been there, done that. Who’s next?’
But anyway, my point about the clinginess towards Mads, he started being all weird like this with Ali, when they became an official ‘couple’ on the charter. Acting like his feelings were hurt if she didn’t pay him enough attention. Dude also did the same shit with Scarlett last season, when she came on after Gabriella left. (don’t even get me started on that, don’t want to get on a Trashley rant!) He was being super clingy and weird with Scarlett, and wanted her to hold his hand and fawn all over him in front of Trashley, just to piss her off.
So this weird clinginess towards Mads was not a shocker to me. And keep in mind, he was acting this way while ALSO professing his love and affection towards Daisy every chance he got when Colin nor Mads were around. Reminds me of someone I know. That’s beyond being a player; its a fucking sociopath.
I don’t even know why Mads gave that pathetic thing any of her energy whatsoever. If she just wanted a hook-up, then why get all irritated when he was ignoring her or whatever.
I believe that she really was into him, and to be honest, a lot more than what she lead on. She seemed to be awfully concerned about what he was doing, where he was, and whether or not, he was paying attention to HER. She just wasn’t vocal about it.
She was constantly looking back, when she was giving him her little silent treatment, to see if he was bothered. She thinks it sounds all cool to just be like ‘whatever, I don’t like him anyway.’
Also the “you’re pathetic” thing he said to her when he was drunk, and she was talking to her mom, he tries to get out of it, by saying he was calling himself pathetic, or the situation pathetic.
He clearly said “you’re pathetic” directed TO HER!! If you were talking to yourself, wouldn’t you say “I’m pathetic” ??? Wow this guy. Does he believe his OWN bullshit?? I really think he does. I know someone like that.
