Below Deck 12/13

Remember we ended with Jake and Rayna arguing about coffee mugs on the deck in earshot of everyone, including guests. Jake really IS being an ABSOLUTE DICKHOLE TO RAYNA.

Eddie – dude – bad pick for Lead Deckhand. Bad pick for someone in a management role. Did you talk to him about his style of managing people at all? Would that have been a good idea???

Bitching to Rayna about a coffee mug, just to hear the sound of his own voice ?

Eddie why you didn’t you pull the dude aside and tell him that was unacceptable for someone in a leadership position? If he’s failing at this, it’s of course his fault for being a piece of shit, but yours for not correcting it.

He is picking on both of them over petty shit. His delivery sucks even if he has something worthwhile to say. Wes says to Rayna that it’s not that bad. Maybe it’s not the end of the world, however if he’s not corrected, it will be getting worse.

So Eddie and/or Captain Lee, you guys need to get a handle on it. Hate to interrupt your little wheelhouse R&R all day, but you need to address it. What is all of this “responsibility” Eddie has with being First Officer? What responsibility ? What’s he doing ?

Rayna and Wes will keep struggling if they have bad attitudes. Management 101. Why was Jake worried about coffee mugs anyway? Nothing else to bitch about weirdo ?

Greek dinner, complete with togas – of course Rachel has been to Greece ! And of course she nails the Greek dinner!

Guest gets into hot tub topless in front of her dad. Dad is like WTF??? I don’t wanna see THAT ! Yeah none of us wanted to see that !

Rayna tells Eddie that she has a problem with the way Jake speaks to her. She is frustrated that he is not addressing it. He does need to address it, as Jake’s superior – he should. Eddie brushes it off with a bunch of jibberish, as he did last time she tried to communicate with him.

Heather and Fraser convene about Jessica’s lack of enthusiasm. This convo is getting old. Either dismiss her, or quit bitching. I actually think that is what she wants anyway.

Lee is up on his throne demanding his food. Guess the old guy can’t get up off of his ass.

Heather introduces the “infamous” french toast to the guests— that means it’s bad, Heather. Think you mean “Famous??? ” (and like nothing Rachel makes is bad)

These guests are so down to earth.

Heather really is trying to teach Jess in a mostly nice way. Trying. Jess just doesn’t want to learn.

She vents to Fraser and Fraser reports to Heather, and Jess walks in on them. Oh well.

Docking goes well. Is this the second in a row of super low maintenance guests? He does get a dig in about the slide debacle. Guess he was trying to be funny. Whatever, suck it up Eddie. Like you’re telling Rayna to ‘deal with it’ – YOU deal with it fucker!! The tip blows and Captain is pissed. He calls the deck hands to the wheelhouse and does his usual plane ticket threat, and even threatens to “cancel the whole charter.”

Lee should be talking to his boy Eddie. He’s in charge of these clowns. He put goofy Jake in charge, who has zero clue how to communicate in a civil professional way. Maybe if Jake treated his people with some respect, they would do a better job. Just a thought. Eddie seems afraid to address with him.

Night out. Wes is planning on making the moves. He’s waitin for a sign. (????)

Heather ordered a vodka and soda, and they give her a large glass of vodka, with a can of club soda on the side. This is my kind of place !

Jake rambles about how he banged a stew on a charter, and didn’t get in trouble. Rayna calls it white privilege. Or Jake’s just an entitle asshole, regardless of race.

Heather’s drink needs some ice, and a lime or lemon, or something.

Jess is beyond boring.

Heather and Jake get all cozy in a big round chair, is she trying to put a safety pin in his ear?

Jess nor Wes, have any game whatsoever. And their convo is so flipping boring –talking about grandparents really ?? Let’s address grocery prices next, or the weather. How about some risque sex talk, that might get things going. This night seems boring. No one is making out or yelling or naked. It’s like the calm before the storm. Feeling like Jake’s going to be the storm.

All that Jess says is how tired she is. They ride alone in the van back and it looks super awkward. She sort of kisses him goodnight. ? sort of.

Jake is trashed. He and Heather are rapping, or attempting to rap. Apparently Heather is using the N word, and she did earlier. Not sure if it was part of the song or not? Rayna tells her it’s not okay. Heather apologizes then goes to her room.

Why did no other deck crew seem to have this huge issue with the slide installation. Maybe Eddie the leader should be doing more to train his crew?

This dry run was a good idea. Maybe do that a few more times?

Next week there will be a guest has her mouth wired shut ? Due to a bicycle accident ? Is Rachel supposed to put all of her meals in a blender ? Would it totally suck to be on vaca and not be able to eat ? According to the preview she does have a meltdown about it.

Lee sees a problem with salt and crud on the jet ski and some thingy, and summons Eddie.

“What are sweater puppets?” “Those are tits.” Jake loves that. I love Rachel.

Eddie addresses the crud issue with Wes and Rayna. Rayna who has just had it, rolls her eyes. Rayna goes on a rant about Heather to Wes about the N word useage. but is cryptic about it.

There is a lot of tension going on. Jess hates her job. It’s ticking off Heather and Fraser. Rayna is starting to hate her job. Eddie is sucking with handling these guys. Jake is condescending every time he opens his mouth.

More deck drama next week…

Chrissy Teigen and the horrible dress ep on WWHL.

unless it’s a different episode and she’s wearing the same awful dress.
