Below Deck 4/8/24

During all of this sushi chaos, Fraser and Kerry go running to Anthony to piss and moan, and make him feel shitty which completely throws him off of his game.

Did Fraser really expect him to halt preparing dinner and make fucking veggie sushi for that dumb ass?

Fraser’s yap comments seem pretty harsh and broad that Frenchy “bit off more than he can chew” with this position.

Really Fras? ONE bad day on a charter made up of 95% picky fucking eaters?? I think maybe you’ve ‘bit off a LOT more than you can chew.’

Last season you couldn’t manage or figure out how to reprimand an unruly, zero work ethic, entitled alcoholic, and terrible at her job stew, and this season you can’t manage a great at her job, but needs a little complimenting stew.

Maybe YOU’RE not quite there yet. Maybe it’s you.

Can’t do my own job but I’m criticizing everyone else...

What is wrong with this kid?? I feel like he needs to focus on his own job and not Anthony’s.

I’m guessing production may be in his ear influencing him to act this way for the added drama, but he’s going to be losing fans. Between this and his treatment of Barbie, it’s not a good look for him.

Jill’s on a rampage again, at 8:20 making sure dinner is going to be served promptly at 8:30 so “they can get going.” Get going where? To bed? Is she tired from doing nothing but running her jaw all day??

Well, yeah I guess I answered my own question. It’s understandable that she’s exhausted.

Pad Thai didn’t seem like the best choice with so many different options, but honestly, I guess whatever was made, everything would have had to be prepared differently.

Barbie I think should cool it on all of the bitching and acting like she’s doing all of the work. It’s not like Xandi and Fraser aren’t also hustling.

Since we’re doing a Housewife crossover, Barbie gets a little cracra Ramona eyes when Fraser nicely asks her to retrieve some champagne. Yeah that was weird. Fraser of course notices this robotic stare and tells her to calm down.

These were probably not the best words in that moment. Girls generally do not like to be told to ‘calm down.’ Especially from this one, who seems to be having plenty of hissy fits in his own right. She does manage a smile. I think she realizes she was making a ridiculous face.

Captain is joining in on this dinner that is destined to fail.

I want to comment again on dreads yogi chick, other than the 20 seconds of her leading a yoga class, I don’t think this woman has spoken one word. Maybe she’s camera shy.

Seems like these bitches maybe don’t get out much.

So what’s weird with this dinner is that they’re getting asked as the meal is getting ready to be served what all everyone wants.

Mrs. Primary actually spoke for herself when prompted, requesting her half and half order, Jill interrupts telling Fraser one of the dishes needs to be in a bowl on the side. What in the actual fuck?? She must think this woman is some kind of challenged special needs type of person. That is how she treats her.

People seem to be under the impression that Jill was told or encouraged by production to act this way. Clearly these people never watched mid-2000’s RHONY, or they could be just forgetting. This is exactly how she acts. Between her, Ramona and Countess, it was a constant contest so see who could be the most entitled and pretentious bitch. And she and Luann were dumb as rocks.

So while he’s making up all of these various plates, the others are sitting and getting cold. You would think there would be some sort of warming area to put everything until they’re ready to go up. This isn’t the first time guests have bitched about cold food. To me the noodles did look overcooked.

Is it weird Ben always lays like this like he’s posing for a magazine centerfold?

He just needs his Pina Colada right now, and the guys would be tripping over themselves. I don’t know what chicks see in him, I really don’t. And I just would not want to be banging my boss. Gross.

These guests are big ole’ bores! It’s only like 10pm. They get right up form the dinner table and head to bed. I was right! Jill’s ‘get going’ request for dinner to not be served one minute past 8:30, was to go to fucking bed.

Maybe they’re all sex fiends, and want to get to their cabins to get their freaks on, but I’m going to say no, probably not.

They are kind of running to their cabins, so I don’t know. Maybe?? This dude can’t be in a hurry to get with Jill.

Wouldn’t you want to at least sit outside with a cocktail or something?? Lame.

Did they even use the hot tub? Remember Jill demanded the temperature be changed as soon as they set foot on the boat? She never even got in it.

Frenchy admits in his yap he’s not experienced with all of the various food restrictions -gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, as well as regular normal eaters.

Barbie still doing the one word answers and the subtle ‘tude thing.

Is there ever a docking anymore that’s not very difficult and tense? Like how long have we been doing this? They always make it this big huge deal at how hazardous docking is going to be, and it’s always fine. Well usually anyway.

So she CAN speak an entire few sentences all by herself! She thanks the crew and acknowledges the challenges in feeding them.

I DO know how to speak! Who knew!

Is this something new? I never noticed until recently, but when there is a married couple, there always seems to be one of the couple considered the primary. They even had in his caption ‘husband of primary.’ Which is kind of funny, but what does that even mean? They’re married. Why wouldn’t they both be ‘the primary??’ I guess it doesn’t matter.

Kerry summons Anthony, and I think his delivery was kind of harsh considering he’s had no real complaints up until now. His dishes have been fucking five-star restaurant style plates, and this was a unique charter with all of the dietary bull shit and Jill Karin fucking thing up.

Telling him dinner service was ‘ bull shit’ seems rather unprofessional.

Fraser tries to talk to Barbie again. He tells her to knock off the dismissive attitude.

Those mother fuckers give a shitty tip, making Anthony feel even worse.

$1667 isn’t bad for two days work though as Kyle points out. Let’s say they worked 10 hours both days – that’s $83.00/hour.

Tomorrow is a off day which means they go off on a gorgeous beach resort and argue. A lot like the Housewives girls’ trips. New stew arrives that evening for dinner, which is kind of strange. Then the next day she gets a free day of fun in the sun. Not bad.

Again with the Espresso Martini’s with tequila. No. Just NO. And I did try it. My mom told me I had to at least try it and it’s gross. Who the hell ordered chicken tenders? Is there a six-year-old coming?

The new stew arrives and she’s stunning. Sunny is already freaking out. We already kind of assumed it would be someone at least one of them knows. That seems to be the trend.

She is Jake’s ex, who was a very fluent (we’re pretty sure him and Fraser hooked up) and eccentric deckhand on Fraser’s first season. Fraser knows her only from FaceTime calls. He refers to Jake as his ‘very good friend’ so assuming they’ve kept in touch.

She makes some weird statements in her opening yap about being a troublemaker then says she was kidding. It didn’t sound like she was kidding.

Ben must be trying to impress her. He takes his hair out of manbun pony thing. Are we sure he’s a guy? The Pina Colada’s the pin-up girl style way he lounges…

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’m just saying. He’s not overly masculine to me.

They head out for their excursion. Frenchy’s so down in the dumps, but I notice no one is asking him if he’s okay over and over like they are Barbie.

He actually has a reason for being sad after being raked through the coals for one bad day with a very strange group of guests. You don’t do this shit to creative people.

So back and forth scenes talking about each other with Barbie and Ben, and Fraser and the new chick.

Fraser as chief stew shouldn’t be gossiping about a stew, but hey, it’s a TV show. Barbie seems to love the “he just doesn’t get me” thing. Do you think maybe they’re too much alike? What’s not to ‘get’ about her?

She NEEDS to get over that meditating thing. They were also there working the beach picnic with the guests. Holy shit. She also said she didn’t want to go because she didn’t like yoga. I mean really, move on.

She seems overworked exhausted and not appreciated. But again this is a job, it’s not a vacay. I don’t think she’s working harder than anyone else.

Everything can be fixed with a conversation, a hug and tequila.”

I love that. Words to live by. If only it were true and that easy. If only…

Fraser and Barbie begin to have a convo so let’s see if Paris’ advice works. We have a convo, we have tequila, we have the sun for an added bonus, all we need is the hug…

Barbie drops the ‘I don’t feel safe’ thing. One of my least favorite of the new millennial buzz phrases. They need to stop throwing that word around like that. ‘Safe’ is not synonymous with ‘happy.’ What’s going to happen when they literally don’t feel safe. They’re not going to be taken seriously.

He ends up telling her to fuck off if she doesn’t like it. Well that’s helpful. Glad to see he took Paris’ advice. I think he’s kind of inappropriate and aggressive with her for some reason. He storms off, and she goes after him, which I would not have done, but whatever. She keeps insisting that she ‘loves’ him. Really, you love a dude that just told you to ‘fuck off’ when you tried to communicate?

Well that also goes nowhere. I don’t even get why they’re arguing.

Anthony’s just quietly floating around on the swan minding his business, avoiding the drama, and stewing about his sushi and dinner mishaps.

I would hope when Kerry watches that scene of him being very clear to those two morons how he was preparing this fucking sushi, (I’m tired of saying sushi!) that he apologizes or takes back his comments to Frenchy that he didn’t think of ‘the primary.’ He wasn’t ignoring Mrs. Primary at all. She was standing right there!

In his yap he makes the point and I agree with this and have mentioned it a lot, there is one person doing all of the planning, prepping, cooking, plating, and most of the cleaning, along with cooking for the crew!

He is taking responsibility for his actions (imagine that!) and not playing the blame game, but he was spoken to rather harshly in my opinion. He needs to stop beating himself up.

Poor Paris. Literally hasn’t even started the job yet and she’s running around the beach between Fraser and Barbie, playing, as she put it, Dr. Phil. Except she’s a tad more attractive.

Fraser tells Ben ‘he’s done’ implying that he wants Barbie fired. Fraser seems to be under the impression that he’s not only in charge of the chef, but also makes decisions on firing staff. I don’t know what his deal is. I’m assuming it’s simply an ego thing,.

So you know he’s referring to Camille last season, when he said that he’s given people more chances than they should have had. That was bad judgment as well. Is he trying to ‘redeem himself’ for keeping her on and not reprimanding a terrible stew with a terrible attitude and even shirked his responsibility in managing her, passing her down to the second stew? Which resulted in chaos if you all remember.

That’s not how this works.

So if I’m following, in order to make up for using poor judgment previously, and disiplaying bad management skills, he’s going to apply what he should have done last year, to this situation, thereby again using bad judgment. I’m sorry, I have say it. You can’t make this shit up.

I don’t get what he does not comprehend how it doesn’t make sense to get rid of a strong and productive stew due to personal differences.

Dylan thinks he’s hitting on Paris, and she’s digging it and she’s not digging it. She looks like the kind of girl that could wear Crocs? He thinks this chick wears fucking Crocs?? Dude, bug out NOW. He starts ranting about Steve Irwin and is making no sense whatsoever. Trying way too hard.

Ben’s taking a stab at it now and puts his fucking mits all over her. Now Sunny’s fuming who was already jealous as soon as she saw her.

Barbie calls her mom crying while Fraser is still all smug in his feelings about her and maintains he wants her to go.
