Picks up directly following Nat whining to Tumi that Kyle didn’t finish cleaning up. Tumi mumbles to herself pep talks to breathe, and that Nat is testing her.
So we’re having communication issues due to language barriers. Max doesn’t understand Lara’s South African accent, and no one understands his French accent. He says while he has four years yachting experience, he doesn’t have a lot of English speaking experience, and has never worked on an American boat.
He ridicules Americans and South Africans as being overly hyper and excited, whereas European boats were kind of laid back and get to it when they get to it, I guess. Not really a deckhand mentality.
There’s always one that’s lazy on deck, and one that’s lazy in the interior. (Kyle) They are debunking my theory though, that it’s usually Americans that suck.
The dude on board, I wonder if he threw a fucking hissy that he wasn’t invited on the girls’ trip, so his wife had to drag his dumb ass along so he didn’t cry? That has the be the only explanation that there would be one dude with a whole gaggle of women. I know someone like that. God FORBID he doesn’t get included in EVERYTHING! Like do you want to come with me to take a shit, dude?
I’m not sure who he belongs to. I don’t really see anyone interacting with him. Maybe he’s ‘one of the girls.’ It may seem trivial, but I’m feeling the need to know the skinny here. He’s always hanging by himself.
Oh blah, NOT a lead deckhand!!
Tumi didn’t exactly need her arm twisted to complain to Sandy Captain Sandy about Natalya. Sandy advises her to be kind, and not authoritative.
The guests will be dining for lunch at the top of the Santa Mahgarita Castle. Which means, tons of shit, tons of SHIT, will need lugged up to the top of a mountain.
Nat is unhappy about the text messaging between Kyle and Tumi, and is incessantly complaining about it to Jessika.
I don’t mean to be a buzzkill, but this lunch at the top of his castle seems like a lot of hassle. What would be wrong with taking some wine and snacks, so as not having to lug tables, chairs, a fucking gazebo, dishes, a whole fucking meal? Poor Lara looks like fucking pack mule.
Nat assured Tumi that the cabins were finished, so she could get off the boat and help with the lunch, however they were not finished.
Am I allowed to say that Kyle looks like he put on weight? He’s a guy, so it’s okay.
Jessika tells Nat how Tumi was unhappy with the cabin situation. So Nat promptly radios Tumi to address it. Apparently, in reference to the afternoon cabin tidying, there is a difference of opinion as to what that entails. It escalates.
Sandy orders them to the bridge. Nat is first to air her grievance that Tumi was unappreciative of the handover, and was texting with Kyle and threatening to fire her.
Tumi looks uncomfortable. The texting is unprofessional on her part. I’m sorry but it is. She mocks Nat, and Sandy scolds her for that.
Tumi needs to watch, because you know, once Sandy doesn’t like you, once you rub her the wrong way, you get branded, and sometimes, well usually, there’s no turning back. She’s already deemed her as unprofessional, because she’s in a leadership role. Not that Sandy really has room to talk about unprofessional behavior, but we know she takes no accountability for her shitty management style, which was on full display when she filled in for Captain Lee last season.
And there was no reunion, due to that.
She demands that Tumi apologize to Nat. She doesn’t know what she needs to apologize for, and does not seem happy about this.
So I just rewatched the preference sheet meeting to find out about the dude, and I see that he is the primary chick’s husband. Which is funny, because when they flashed his name on the screen, he was deemed a “charter guest’ not the ‘primary.’ So that’s kind of funny. He’s her guest. And I have not seen her say one fucking word to him. That’s even funnier.
Tumi does not want to do this apology thing. At all. This is funny too. Hey, at least I’m feeling entertained.
She cries to Kyle that Nat is lying about everything. I don’t know what she thinks Nat is lying about. Everything she said were actual occurrences. She seems annoyed with Kyle for playing both sides, and telling Nat about her bitchy messages. He manages to convince her he did nothing wrong, and he has her back.
Back to this one guest dude, sorry, but I’m intrigued. It’s so funny how he’s tagging along as the ladies shop in town. It’s so weird. He’s being completely ignored. I wonder why he’s not having a pissy little meltdown and spiraling? Oh, I know. Because he’s a dude, and dudes don’t do that. Grown ass men don’t cry that they’re being ‘ignored.’ His wife is paying like no attention to him. It’s hilarious. H’s even walking way behind the group.
Tumi tries to give Nat her instructed apology, and Nat refuses to speak with her, and wants to communicate through Kyle. Okay, that’s weird.
For the sake of TV, Sandy orders Tumi up to the bridge, and I guess is doing her fucked up Sandy Captain Creepy ‘mentoring.’
She’s so funny. As she runs around telling Nat and Tumi, they need to “work it out, figure it out on their own,” and no way that she’s getting involved, as she clearly involves herself.
Dinner, and the vegan bitches about her food – AGAIN! She wants Jack to make her a whole different dinner of fried tofu and french fries. She needs something greasy at this point, she says.
Well, you know, when all you eat are vegetables, yeah you’re probably staving. This is not the chef’s fault.
Jack admits to vegan cuisine not being his forte. He didn’t fry the tofu, he ‘pan seared’ it.
She demands to see the chef, and explains she wanted it deep fried. She didn’t communicate ‘deep fried’ to Tumi, so I don’t think it’s Tumi’s fault. She just said ‘fried.’ Putting something in a pan with oil, is also considered frying. Just saying.
I don’t know why primary has to get into “I’m a successful black woman, and I want what I want.”
This isn’t race related. It’s tofu. The tofu didn’t get screwed up because you’re black, or a woman. It got screwed up because he didn’t know she wanted it deep fried.
Nat blows Tumi off again wanting to talk to her, but in the morning is willing to hear her out.
Nat immediately goes for how unappreciative Tumi came off at their initial meeting. She was. You can’t really argue that. I mean guys, she called the boat organization a ‘shit show.’
And when she explained what she meant by that, how she wasn’t criticizing Nat, she made no sense. I think Nat was just looking for validation after busting her ass, and being a great stand-in chief stew. Tumi wasn’t really into offering that. Maybe unpopular opinion buy I saw Nat as a better chief stew than this chick. She’s extremely unprpfessional.
Tumi now tries to connect with her, leaning over, making eye contact, by saying they’re a lot alike, and tries to offer some sort of truce. This is all well and good, but it’s too late. Pissy-ass comments were already made, that were undeserved. Nat isn’t having her desperate fake bullshit.
Nat couldn’t have been more welcoming and enthusiastic, when she was showing her around the boat. Nat tells her what’s what, she’ll do her job but does not care to be friends, and Tumi is kind of speechless. She did not have control of that convo, at all.
Max and Hayleigh argue while docking. I think we should send Tumi and Max back to where they came from. The whole vibe is off.
