Below Deck 1/16/23

I was watching a little of the repeat episode they aired at 7pm, and a ‘never before scene’ where Camille was talking to her dad, and she’s all, “can you believe the 2nd stew thinks I’m slow?”

Dad says – “well you don’t like to work.”

What are you talking about old man? I LOVE to work!!!!

And there you have it folks. Not that we needed dear old dad to clarify that for us, it just kind puts it all in perspective.

She likes to brag on her “attitude” or how she speaks her mind, or whatever she said, I forget exactly how she worded it, she has mentioned that multiple times. So we get it. And I respect people that don’t take shit. She compares herself to her dad, in that he got where he is, from being outspoken.

But the component that she’s missing, is that she doesn’t like to follow any type of directions, (don’t tell HER what to do) and she doesn’t want to work. That might be difference between her and her dad. Her dad probably earned people’s respect with some sort of crazy work ethic.

You’re not going to get very far, if you get a kick out of lipping off, flipping out, and telling your superiors at your job to fuck off, AND you’re also a lousy selfish employee. I have a feeling her dad doesn’t have this shit work ethic. So THAT’S how he got where he is. (wherever that is, we don’t know) Not from screaming at people for no reason and refusing to do any work.

Okay here we go with the new episode. Needed to get that off my chest. I was cracking up when her dad said that. She tried to deny it to him, but knows it’s true.

So Sandy hears these two yelling at each other and cursing, and actually takes it rather well and is pretty easy on them when she approaches them. She should have been a little more firm and pissed off. I get it she was trying to diffuse the situation, and not make more of a scene. But they should have been yanked somewhere private immediately. Both of them. Together. To give their assessment in front of each other.

Put Fraser and Hayley in charge of service, and get to the bottom of what happened then and there, which was Camille refusing to do a simple task of ironing something upon her return from canoodling on the beach with Ben. She literally arrived to the boat immediately following not working and doing nothing. So she just had an actual break, one might say, and it was too much to ask of her to do a simple task upon her return to the boat.

Had Sandy had this convo right away, it would have been better. And they should have been together for it to minimize Camille’s lying. Come on Sandy. You’re better than this.

She asks for Camille to meet her in the crew mess, to talk about it. Not even private. It also minimizes the seriousness of it, if she just wants to chat about it over a snack. Which means Camille is getting another break, right after her relaxing break at the beach.

And you can literally just tell she is going to take her side. She likes blondes. Sorry but I see a pattern with that.

Hayley fills in Fraser, and seems to think that Alissa overreacted, because she wasn’t bothered by Camille’s dismissive “I just can’t right now!” (tell me again what had her so stressed out) or whatever. It bothered Alissa more so than Hayley because Alissa could probably tell she was going to somehow get out of doing this garment pressing, and that she was going to end of up doing it herself.

And that’s not how you answer someone in a teamwork environment when you’re nicely asked to do something. Not to mention, Alissa has fucking had it with this reaction every fucking time she’s asked to do something. Sandy has noticed her lipping off constantly too. So what’s the problem here? There’s nothing to ‘get to the bottom of.’

Okay so they sit down for this very informal ‘meeting.’ Camille has helped herself to some food. And her typical “I’m so sorry” and “yes ma’am” fucking shit she does with Sandy, while she back talks Fraser and Alissa constantly. So Sandy thinks she’s not that bad. Whatever Sandy. Any idiot can tell she puts on an act for her.

Why isn’t Fraser handling this. Fraser is being kind of a pussy I hate to say. Fraser should know what the hell she is like. She basically told him where to go and how to get there, when he tried to have a chat with her about her stupid shitty attitude, that she thinks is something to be proud of.

She keeps referring to Alissa as a bully. Which I don’t see nor agree with. Camille thinks she’s a bully because she’s trying to not take her shit. Which I thought she thinks is a good thing, and admirable, to not take people’s shit? But only when she does it?

Fraser for some reason, when he hasn’t bothered to intervene or deal with this like at all, actually tries to shut down the convo with Sandy and Camille, which shouldn’t be taking place here in the crew mess. This is really unprofessional. They’re both eating, and having like a little girlfriend chat.

It’s ridiculous.

None of this is your fault. You had me at blonde hair.

So already Camille does not explain what transpired accurately, because she tells Sandy that she nicely says, “can you guys just give me a second?” No. Hell to the NO! That’s NOT what she said. That’s not how she said it.

She actually answered Hayley, who told her about this small task as nicely and gently as possible, like this, and I quote, in a tone as if she was all stressed out, busy and befuddled, “I’m sorry I can’t, I just can’t right now.” As she literally walked away from her.

She goes on to tell her how Alissa said she’ll take it to the captain, which she was justified in doing, because Camille’s exact instruction from Sandy was to lose the lippy comebacks every fucking time she was asked to do something. And she is STILL doing it. Alissa was justified. If Camille didn’t like hearing it, tough fucking titties.

And I can’t believe my fucking ears when Sandy gives her fucking accolades and assures her that she’s noticed that she has indeed improved and dropped the tude. No. She hasn’t.

As far as I’m concerned you showed me, you did your job.” As far as she’s concerned? Well Sandy you’re not the one that has to be concerned, and has to deal with this shit. How the fuck does Sandy know? Was she with her all day? Now this numbskull has this false sense of entitlement and accomplishment, when in reality she has been her usual useless and antagonistic self.

Sandy continues to fuel this fire by assuring Camille it wasn’t okay for Alissa to threaten her. It wasn’t so much a threat, as much as a reminder that she’s supposed to be following instructions without being difficult.

And she did need reminded, because she wasn’t. Why do I always have to know everything?

She has a lack of respect for me as a human being.” Oh my God, dramatic much?? Sandy ignores that weird comment. She does know no one on the boat respects her right? Except for the dude she’s banging. In front of Tony every night.

Sandy summons Alissa to talk, but Alissa’s convo/reprimand takes place on the bridge, not over a snack in the crew mess. So Alissa who has been busting her ass doesn’t get a snack and a break. But Camille did.

Alissa gives a better assessment of her reply – as “stop, not right not now, I can’t now …” That should honestly be all Sandy needs to hear. Sandy should be saying to Alissa now, she told me that she nicely asked if you could give her a second. So already she should be seeing she lied. When people lie they have something to hide. Duh. This doesn’t seem to bother Sandy. Maybe Alissa should bleach her hair blonde. Or wear a blonde wig.

Camille is in laundry doing this very small five minute task that was asked of her that sparked this whole thing. While muttering to herself that “this wasn’t very hard, it’s as easy as this.”

It’s not that it was HARD asshole, maybe if you would have LISTENED to Hayley, she was explaining there was one item she didn’t get to because she had to, oh I don’t know, wait on the fucking guests?? And it wasn’t an emergency to do it right that second. She as just letting her know. This chick is frustrating.

Sandy somehow, for some reason, turns this all around on Alissa, pulls out the good old ‘triggering’ line, and tells her she should have walked away if Camille ‘triggered’ HER. That’s putting the blame all on Alissa. Sandy, what the literal fuck??

Sandy points out in her yap that Fraser needs to be worrying about Camille and Alissa. And if this was managed properly this wouldn’t have happened.

Yeah no shit.

Finally she says something that makes sense.

Sandy says Camille is doing a great job. Sandy. Sandy. Sandy. To quote Ramona, WOW. Just WOW.

Disappointed in Captain Sandy for trying to make Alissa feel crazy and like the problematic one. Captain better be groveling to her at the reunion. And I mean it!

This actually is YOUR fault for not being as cute as Camille.

Did she suggest for them to talk about their differences when they’re OUT?? As in when they’re out drinking? I literally thought I heard that wrong Monday night when I initially watched the episode. Sure, that’s a great idea Sandy. Is she fucking tripping? I don’t think Captains are supposed to be dropping acid. I don’t know.

Sandy gives Fraser the business in the stairwell for interrupting her and Camille’s little chat in the crew mess. I agree maybe he overstepped. But seriously Sandy? She has the energy to be this pissed at Fraser for that, but was pretty much sitting there at the table playing with Camille’s vagina? She’s dead fucking weight. Sorry that was crude, but I’m getting really annoyed.

They have a bit of a stare down in the stair way. Stare down in the stair way. Hee hee.

And you’re not my type either so you’re on my shit list too.

I do agree Fraser should have handled this better. But that seemed unnecessary. She WAS wrong for addressing it there and talking to Camille like they were BFF’s. Exactly what she’s accusing Fraser of doing.

So how gross is it that Camille admits to Benny boy that she gave attitude to Alissa when he asked what happened? But told Sandy that she didn’t.

Ben also tells her she’s doing a great job. I know he has to say that but, if he wants to keep getting banged. She’s not doing a great job.

This isn’t even fair to her because she really believes, more so than she did previously, that there is nothing wrong with her performance. Maybe they’re all setting her up to crash and burn.

He admits in his yap she needs to change course if she wants to stay.

Fraser’s turn to have a chat with Captain Sandy.

When people start screaming on a boat is when I fire people.”

I like Fraser, but he seems to be not taking this seriously, and being rather non chalant and choosing to not see how his shortcomings as a leader have brought the animosity between Camille and Alissa to this level.

I agree with Sandy, putting the ball in Fraser’s court at this point. Don’t agree with the things she said to each of the ladies.

Rachel doesn’t seem to be totally on her game this season. It’s almost like she’s doing things in her own time. I think this was a complicated dinner, but for there to be like an hour between courses? No. That’s not cool.

Poor Alissa is stuck with these crazy inconsiderate fuckers until they decide to call it a night.

Camille and Ben really need to stop banging it out in the bunk above Tony. It’s so skeevy. Once okay, it happens. Sometimes you just need to seize the moment and do it. Now it’s a habit, and they seem to think it’s really cute.

These guests are fucking slobs. They’re smoking their whatever, and breaking and spilling shit, demanding snacks at 4:30 am, and they do not care. This is taking advantage folks. And treating the crew like their personal fucking staff.

There really should be a cut-off time for the guests for getting served drinks and food. I know the ball park of what they pay to charter these yachts, so whatever they say goes, and there’s no such thing as no… But it should be within reason. I would say, if you asked me, and I know you didn’t, but just as bars close at 2 am, this should be the last call for service.

That would have people like this going to their rooms by 2:30 – 3. If they’re getting no service, they will head to their quarters. You can’t have a stew up until 5 am waiting on guests for chrissakes.

These assholes finally head to their rooms at 4 fucking 50. Dicks. Can you see Camille dealing with that shit?? She would have told them to fuck off for demanding a lighter, and needing to clean up after them like a bunch of toddlers non-stop. It would have been funny to watch though. That would have been a way to get her to crash and burn if that was the goal.

These assholes look pretty fresh and rested at breakfast, considering they just went to bed three hours ago. Get their raggedy asses of of this ship already. They whine about the beach on the way out. No one cares. Literally NO ONE.

Tip meeting, and they leave a shit tip. How embarrassing for them. Alissa is right. These are Carnival Cruise people.

I was seeing on Twitter that someone thought the way they were bitching about the food constantly right from the get-go was just an excuse to leave a shitty tip. I kind of agree. Probably also why they kept bitching about the beach.

Alissa’s dad sounds like my ex-husband, when she talks about how she was treated by him. Yes Camille IS manipulative. “Yes ma’am, sorry ma’am, no ma’am” to Sandy, and a tantrum throwing toddler when she’s not paying attention.

Camille and Alissa get into it in Alissa and Hayley’s cabin, when she comes looking for an eyeliner sharpener. Camille for reals thinks she needs an apology from Alissa.

This is Sandy’s fucking fault for planting this shit in her head, and assuring her she is a stellar fucking stew. I hope Sandy watched that and realized this.

Alissa: “You start the attitude and get mad when you get it back.” True Dat! Didn’t I just say that earlier?

Everyone really is sick of listening to this. Including viewers.

Heading out on the town. Katie looks like she’s wearing work out tights and a sports bra. Seems like they’re all pretty toasty already. Is Rachel not drinking at all? I just remembered that she was over indulging last season on the nights out.

Come to think of it, she seems like she’s even turning in as soon as they get back to boat. Maybe she said something about it earlier in the season. I don’t remember.

Katie is bitching about Ross in her yap. It’s so tough to hear her talking about him as if he’s even worth her time and effort when the viewers have been hearing the shit he says when she’s not around.

She seems like a sweet girl. A sweet clueless girl. She should be picking up by now on the fact that he’s a total player, actually that description doesn’t do him justice. He’s a man whore. But she’s not picking up on it.

Alissa is being kind of a sucky, not a girl’s girl by flirting with him when she knows that Katie is into him. First she was into Ben, Camille snagged him, now she’s into Ross, and Katie snagged him. She needs to go for Tony. What’s wrong with him? He’s cute. He’s funny. And buff as fuck !! And he’s probably horny as fuck too, from having to listen to Camille and Ben getting it on every night. Ross has a dad bod. And is carrying a shit load of STD’s most likely.

Ross claims he has real emotion with Katie. Please.

I wouldn’t blame Katie for being kind of pissed at Alissa. Even though he is so NOT worth it. I know she’s drunk, but not an excuse.

Camille is smoking a joint at the dinner table. So I assume this location is marijuana friendly. That’s fine, but at the dinner table?? It’s bad enough when someone is smoking a cigarette. But smelly pot?

So typical of Camille. Not everyone wants to smell that. And does she have this shit on the boat?

Because I remember, Hannah got fired for having a weed pen, just sayin.

Camille tells us in her yap her ability to ‘act’ or play a part. Yes we knowwwwww you’re fake Camille, but thanks for pointing it out.

Alissa is shit faced and laying her head on the table. Did the food even come yet?

I love me some Hayley, but did she literally just tell Fraser Camille is a good worker? No. No girl. No. I commend you for trying to be neutral, and not shit talking, but don’t sit there and call this bitch a good worker. People telling her she’s doing a good job, is actually not helping her.

But whatever, I don’t think she knew Hayley was complimenting her because she starts bitching at her and talking about how much she loves herself. Camille, we know that you love yourself. That’s the root cause of all of your issues. Keep it up! Narcissists crack me up. They really are quite comical if you’re not the one having to deal with them on a daily basis for real. Which I have. And it’s like an 80 hour/week fucking job. And emotionally draining.

Well I was actually tryin to give ya a compliment, but FORGET IT!!

But since it’s a sickness and a full-on mental illness, if you ask me, they have to know they have a disorder, and elect to get help. It’s actually the only personality disorder that can’t be treated because since they are narcissists, and by definition, they can’t admit there is anything wrong with them. And the people that suffer are the ones in their life that have to deal with them. They don’t suffer, because they have no feelings nor empathy. So they don’t care if they’re upsetting others. They also aren’t capable of loving in a normal way, but they always seem to have a partner. Go fucking figure.

I don’t get why everyone is coming after Alissa. It’s not cool. She has a narcissist parent and I’m going to go ahead and agree with this whole ‘triggering’ crap which I usually don’t, that dealing with Camille is really an issue for her, and really draining. And goddammit she shouldn’t need to be dealing with her! She’s not the chief fucking stew, Fraser!! Deal with this stupid twat!! This is so fucked up!

Fraser – get with it. You’re pissing me off. Don’t make me fly across the pond and kick your ass! I think I probably could. This unpleasant shit comes with the territory of being a chief stew!!

Although I agree she needs to go, it also seems like he’s taking the easy way out by having her fired. I know I’m contradicting myself kind of. But do you know what I mean?

She pissed off Hayley, who was trying to support her, and now officially, the entire interior hates her. Because no one put her in her place. Sandy sort of tried, but also acted like her bestie. She did what she criticized Fraser for doing in her yap, trying to be friends with his staff while being their supervisor.

I mean to put it in perspective, you have to be a pretty useless worker, to be a deck/stew and both the deck crew AND interior say they can do without you, and that you’re more trouble than you’re worth. But yeah, Camille. Yachting sounds like it’s for you! Keep up the good work. LMAO!!

Alissa is going to lose her head, hanging out the window like that while the van is moving. I do get her need to get shitfaced though.

How are they always hungry after having these fabulous dinners out??

Camille strips and high tails it into Ben’s bunk and they fuck with Tony in the bottom bunk again. No other human on earth besides this dude would be tolerant of this. Tony needs a fucking medal for being okay with this and having a sense of humor about it. It’s not okay.

Okay so Fraser starts making excuses for Camille, and comparing himself to her, when he was given a second chance, but you really can’t make that comparison. Fraser cared about doing a good job, he just needed to get used to the environment. Like this dude is delusional I’m starting to think. Or just so desperate to keep glazing over the issue.

She will never turn it around. Is he paying attention? Is he conscious? All she does is walk around touting her greatness and blaming everyone else?

Tony is so nice that he even tells Ben that he will leave the room when they want to fuck. At least Ben is acknowledging that it’s fucked up they keep doing that. But yet he keeps on doing it. So he must not be too concerned. Well, it’s no longer a problem I guess.

Preference sheet meeting and they have a six months pregnant woman who needs to eat every two hours. Okay does she think she IS the baby? Like what the fuck? I can see she’s going to be ‘milking’ this shit. Rachel rolls her eyes.

And can I just point out, is it a good idea for a woman that far along to be taking a cruise? I’m surprised it’s even allowed after the first trimester. That seems kind of irresponsible of a mother. I actually don’t recall a pregnant woman on board in ten years of below deck history at all.

And there was only one baby, which I thought was also irresponsible. I think that was on Sailing Yacht, which is even worse.

Sandy for some reason doesn’t think this charter will “be a lot of work.” Well maybe that’s because she doesn’t have to do it! An entitled pregnant bitch that is demanding to be fed every fucking two hours actually IS going to be a lot of work. For Rachel and Alissa most likely. At least the headache of dealing with Camille will be eliminated.

Rachel better have her meals ON TIME!

Camille is being very Camille, working whilst carrying a glass of wine. But hey she’s a great worker right!! She can balance that laundry basket with a filled to the rim glass of wine! Impressive! Great job! Where’s Sandy to give her praise for this?

The deck crew is done doing their boat flipping and cleaning, and Camille since she’s banging one of the deck crew, thinks that includes her too.

Fraser sees her with her quite large glass of wine and questions her. She claims she is done with all of her tasks.

Fraser reminds her she’s not on holiday. She’s ‘human’ is the excuse she comes up with. Well Alissa is ‘human’ too, and that’s why maybe she doesn’t handle your dick behavior in the best possible way.

Surely she knows at this point she’s fucked right?

No, she does not.

Tell me again how great of a job she’s doing Sandy?

So even after being reprimanded by Fraser, her boss, she still is completely unfazed, and continues with the break she’s put herself on, and chills on deck with the deck crew, still drinking.

I love how Rachel is not having this bitch, at all. She seems to be the only one actually awake and tuned in with the actual occurrences when it comes to Camille, besides Alissa. And no one is listening to Alissa. Fraser isn’t, Sandy isn’t. Sandy actually had the audacity to blame Alissa.

For some reason everyone is busting their ass except for Camille. Good job ‘captain’ Sandy for praising this dumb bitch. Look what you’ve created. Well not created, but exacerbated the problem.

She’s literally drunk off her ass and can barely stand up, as she runs towards the boat when Fraser questions her location.

Fraser now finally remembered that he’s chief stew I guess, and has surveyed Camille’s work and found that nothing was done really, after she bragged she was finished with everything.

He even took photos that he shows her and she has a stupid excuse for everything. Does she hear herself? Probably not because she’s shitfaced.

I know you’ve had a lot to drink, but do you recall NOT doing any of of your work?

Fraser even reprimands her for drinking the guest champagne. Go Fras! It’s about fucking time, but go Fras!!

Fraser is all bothered over wanting to let her go. I don’t know why. She’s not bothered over not doing her job at all. She’s not bothered about anything, as she’s partying with herself and doing acrobats while naked, in her cabin. This chick is weird, and wasted.

Fraser wants to speak with Sandy. (why does he keep saying he adores her?? who in their right mind adores this dumb ass?) Also it doesn’t really seem like he ‘adores’ her. Like stop being so Brit and nice!! Be New York City or Paris, and be an asshole!!

Everyone tiptoes around her, like people tend to do with narcissists!

Great girl, great personality? l’m going to throw my glass at my TV if someone calls her ‘great’ one more fucking time. And I really like this glass, and my drink is excellent!

And I don’t get Sandy. “It’s the right decision” she claims in her yap. But thought she was just telling her two nights ago how she had turned things around and was doing great? And blamed Alissa? Contradict yourself much? Woman. Pick a team and stick with it. This is not very Captain like. And Sandy is usually a little more sensible.

Sandy summons her to the bridge and she probably thinks she’s going to get some more compliments on her ‘changed’ behavior. That’s how in her own fucking world she is. It changed all right, it actually got worse. She’s going to be confused because she was just getting complimented. Hope Sandy has some sort of comeback for that.

Why is the crew being so fucking dramatic over this?
