Below Deck 1/24/22

The crew is moving slowly this morning. They’re bitching that they’re exhausted. I would hate to be the last few guests on a charter. They’re so totally over it and annoyed about everything.

And the Eddie being a shit leader goes on —- He is is puzzled at how Rayna considers him unsupportive. Pretty sure Izzy, previous lead deckhand that he promoted, came to him with concerns of mistreatment from the deckhands, and he acted the same exact way. So this is a pattern.

Again Eddie Spaghetti Head, she did approach you, and again you brushed her off and ignored it ??? Oh my freaking God. Enough. I’m just hoping he has learned from this, (both times – although I’m not sure he realized it with Izzy – I don’t remember if she just complained in her confessional, or called him out on it) and we will never have to suffer from this same scenario again. Or just hire dudes if you don’t want to deal with girls.

Preference meeting and guests want Rachel to ‘Curate’ a dinner from their favorite dishes ??? Oh please.

Rachel calling toilet paper – shit tickets.

Some trash blows into the water, and Eddie runs to fetch it, and Lee scolds him.

Eddie the very important First Officer doing a menial task, yet again

The guests complain about the water. Fraser calls them ‘basic.’ But he’d rather be doing basic tasks for basic people than watching laundry dry. Probably sort of like watching paint dry.

For some reason everyone, supervisors included, think it’s a good idea to ALL be sitting in the crew mess eating dinner, at 6pm, which is prime time for the, you know the guests, remember them? The people you beg for money at the end of the charter, are wanting alcohol. (cocktail hour – maybe the stews heard of it ??) They are walking around literally yelling for someone. Captain of course hears, and goes on a hunt for a stew, and lo and behold, ALL THREE are just lounging and dining as if they don’t have a care in the world. Probably wasn’t a huge deal for the deck crew, since they are usually done at this point, after they successfully tired them out all day. (smart – similar to what you do with kids) But the stews, not so much.

Think Heather’s losing her focus with her buddy on board? She should have known better than for all three stews to be dining simultaneously. That sounds like chief stewing 101. Was there not one second sitting there, where Heather was like, what’s wrong with this picture ???

I know she’s excited to have her friend as part of the crew now, but she seems to think she’s on a long slumber party, and not the chief stew of a mega yacht. She even has the audacity to keep eating as Lee is expressing his extreme disdain at what he is seeing. Then says she was only gone for a ‘few seconds.’ Maybe that was just a big long blonde moment.

I may not be doing my job, but my hair looks cute!

Lee is understandably pissed the EFF OFF !! He’s gonna eat their ass !!! Well that should get their attention. Some may like it.

Sorry to interrupt your little dinner party, but these annoying people upstairs are wanting some champs

Moving on to dinner, (the guests’ dinner) — I’m with Fras – I’m over ‘white parties!’ Stupid. Be original. Or just skip it.

Rachel is getting annoyed at everyone. There’s a cracker misunderstanding with Heather and Kaylee.

R&R – the dynamic duo !! So much smoother with a helper – see I told ya !!

Lobster Ravioli was served !! looks yummy, however, Rachel forgot, no cooked fish for one of the guests. Why do people have to be so dang picky!! (I was wondering though, does she prefer raw fish?

She kept emphasizing “cooked.” Usually it’s the other way around for most people.

I don’t get why don’t they reread the preference sheet right before dinner, I can see forgetting from the initial meeting. Is this not why they hang them on the cabinets?

Fraser’s says white parties started from “white T-shirt parties” (any relation to wet T-shirt parties??) when one of the dudes asks if a “white party” is a common thing ? Oh My God – guys are so dumb.

Rachel comes up and apologizes to the guest about the lobster mishap. Fish happens.

At dinner, one of the ladies says, “it’s ok to get stains on your clothes, as long as they end up on your boobs not your belly, just make sure your belly is smaller than your boobs”, as the one woman is sitting there, with her belly bigger than her boobs…

I’m sitting RIGHT HERE …

Did she not know she was there? What makes this comment funnier, is that Fraser was mumbling in the laundry room, that one of the guests’ clothing had a lot of stains on it. I wonder whose it was.

Fraser and Jake hang out while Fraser is cleaning up and popping balloons. Fraser says they complete each other. I think I’m going to cry. Fraser loves him. Like is IN LOVE with him. It’s so cute.

You complete me …
Awwww Shucks mate !!!

Rachel is getting stressed and super cranky. There IS still time, as Lee pointed out, for her to tell someone to ‘eat her cooter.’

Rayna continues to completely ignore Heather when she tries to make small talk with her. I’m sure viewers’ opinions are all over the place with this. But ignoring someone talking to you ? I think this is her form of ‘punishment’ to Heather. But for me, it’s really passive aggressive behavior, If Rayna is still mad at her, then she needs to express that. And say she’s not interested in small talk. Or go to the Captain and demand she be fired. She got an apology. Shit or get off the pot.

Eddie offered to get Heather together with her, and get this sorted out, to where she feels better. And Rayna declined. She’d rather take this immature route I guess.

What the hell is shashushka ??? sounds Polish, and bad.

Heather is planning a little ‘Hamilton’ act for the guests, after the convey to her their love for the musical. She asks Eddie to dress up as Hamilton. He acts like he’s so not excited, then confesses in his interview that he’s a closet musical theater fan. Whodda thunk that? Actually maybe it’s not that surprising. He was overly excited about the 80’s party, come to think of it. So much so, that he planted a kiss on Captain Lee. I totally thought that was Jake by the way. Seemed more of a Jake thing, than an Eddie thing. I figured that Eddie would know better. Lee almost ripped his face off. Like Jake, he’s also been displaying some “sexually free” behavior this season. He always seems to be the first in line to slap Jake’s bare ass every week too. I’m JUST sayin! (not that there’s anything wrong with it!!)

Rayna reflects on her now newly improved relationship with Jake, and how it evolved. She started off crushing on him, then hated him, the crushing again, and now they’re “just friends.”

Everyone seems to be lovin on Jake for whatever reason. Is it the accent ? The free spirit ? In his defense, he did kind of get over being a complete dickwad that he was in the early days of his promotion to lead deckhand.

Heather is complaining that she thinks everyone is cranky with her. Rachel got a little pissy with her, Rayna ignores her when she speaks to her, and Lee was waving his dick around a little bit, about the costume items being in the wheelhouse, now bitching she’s chewing gum. I would think he’d be more annoyed that she and Kaylee are in the crew mess doing her hair. I can see her point.

Fraser enters the crew mess while Kaylee is french braiding her hair, and the bored Cranky Captain is sitting there, (he needs to get a book to read, or go watch porn like SOMETHING…) I don’t recall him being this bored and micro-managey in previous seasons/years. So she scolds Fraser for not doing what was directed on the radio — (Not come into the crew mess, sort of.) In Fraser’s defense, he had no idea, those two were sitting together with the Captain in the crew mess. Everyone IS edgy !!

Of course she’s overreacting over this, after she thought it was a good idea to take a dinner break at 6pm with the other two stews. Which is on her, not Fraser.

The only one that seems happy is Eddie the Thespian, since he gets to dress up in costume and do an Alexander Hamilton act for the guests.

The Jungle Themed Beach Picnic is underway. The ladies are all decked out in their animal print attire.

Did somebody call for some Cougars ???

You know you’re in your 40’s when you have a lot of leopard print,” one of the guests confesses.

Speaking of which, I just got an awesome pair of leopard leggings!! I think animal print CAN be overdone. My rule is NOT head to toe. So I wouldn’t do an animal print dress, or worse yet, jumpsuit, however top OR bottoms, OR a jacket or hat is okay. That’s my fashion police moment for the day.

It’s almost time for Eddie to make his ‘off off off Broadway’ acting debut. The second part of Alex’s assignment is to also bring the dessert. (ice cream) Guests are eating lunch, and Heather radios him and tells him to arrive in 10 – 15 minutes, with Rachel’s consent.

However, Eddie (see above) was really, really excited and arrived at the beach, in like 10 – 15 seconds.

I’m on my way to being discovered …!!!!!!

Rachel is pissed about this since they haven’t finished their lunch yet, and is worried the ice cream will be melted. She’s throwing kind of a hissy, and taking it out on Heather, when it’s not his fault. Had he arrived in the instructed 10 – 15 minutes, not 32 seconds, it probably would have been fine.

I come bearing melted ice cream AND entertainment!!

The guests appear to be hearing her tantrum. So not cool. Now here’s Heather, probably feel like she’s taking the heat again. Which in this case, she sort of is.

But, no sense crying over melted ice cream.
