Garnish Gate continued into this episode which was kind of shocking. Since Nick ‘let her think she was in charge’ as he put it, she then graduated to critiquing everything he was doing. I don’t blame him for leaving the beach and letting her there to listen to herself whine about nothing.
If the guests were not bitching which they weren’t, then shut up! These guests who sounded like they were going to be a pain the ass, were not at all. They were very respectful and sophisticated. I was expecting the worst with their ‘accustomed to butler service’ thing. That came off really pretentious but they didn’t live up to that at all.
I like Fraser’s accurate comparison of these guests to the past charters of Queen Velveeta, Town Drunk Eileen, and Jill Loudmouth ‘Ding Dong Ding Dong’ Zarin.
Night and Day.
So Fraser did again egg on Paris to be a bitch to Nick. Seems really manufactured, which is annoying but what are we gonna do? He tells her “we’re going to be responsible if there are fuck-ups.”
No, Fraser that’s not accurate. If the chef messes up, it’s on the chef, not the stews. That was Sandy Captain Sandy’s ridiculous rationale that season when she was creeping on and love bombing Rachel, when Rachel wasn’t at her best. Sandy had her convinced temporarily at least, that it was the stews’ faults her plates were taking too long between courses.
You don’t need a freaking stew to keep the chef in line, a chef who knows what the hell he’s doing and your big gripe is that he didn’t put drizzle on the plate.
Barbie and Kyle boatmance – my takeaway is that I’m so sick of her insinuating or blatantly saying, that she is so much better, socially and economically than Kyle. She’s repeated it several times in several different ways. Barbie, we get it. At least we get what you’re trying to convince us of.
She really makes me wonder how loaded her family really is. Usually people that are actually from bougee families don’t talk about it and mention it constantly in every fucking conversation.
“It’s a beautiful night.”
“Oh well I can one-up that! I had three nannies, and Kyle is broke.”
Like what??
That’s kind of how it’s coming off.
Her obsession with designers, and how she spends her yachtie money on clothes and bags while Daddy supports her, you know, it’s getting kind of repetitive, cocky and conceited, not to mention immature. I t hink when I got my first job in high school, I was excited to go to the mall and buy clothes with my check. I was 16. She’s 28.
It’s time to be grown-up Barbie. Which doesn’t mean get married and have three kids, just sound like a grown-up. It’s time.

First impression of the guests as they make their entrance? Dressed very classy and elegant without being over the top and trying too hard.
I guess this was only a 24 hour charter which I didn’t remember being said but I could have missed it. Or were they cut out the rest of the charter since they didn’t act like hooligans?
Fraser is already arguing with Nick about the sushi lunch. They’re arguing over whether they’re plating the sushi, or serving it. Fraser purposely doesn’t let Paris in on the fact that Nick doesn’t want to plate it as they already discussed.
Pina Colada makes fun of him for being 40 and ‘still in yachting.’ He’s a CHEF, not a deckhand or a maid.
I think it’s kind of smart to be getting paid to travel for free constantly to beautiful beach destinations, instead of stuck in a the same hot kitchen in a restaurant, day after day after day … making the same shit.
But whatever Ben. You know everything.
I didn’t even realize there was a ‘son of primary’ in attendance until I watched the second time. He was a man of few words. Or no words.
Sunny refers to Captain Kerry as ‘militant’ which is very accurate.
They get to the beach and Paris starts bossing Nick around immediately and telling him where he can set his food down as he’s preparing everything to be served.
I wonder if the sushi plates are garnished enough for Fraser and Paris?
I think it’s kind of funny that Nick leaves, since she wants to run the show. That’s exactly how you deal with someone like that.
I should have thought of that with my ex-husband when he started micro-managing me in the kitchen constantly. Someone who literally thinks Kraft Mac & Cheese and Chef-Boy-ardee pizza are delicacies. I kid you not.
The guests had zero complaints about anything. Paris seems pissed when they tell her to tell him it’s amazing.
That’s a great attitude to have. Hoping the guests are unhappy so you can go and be right.
She complains to Fraser that Nick left and she had to do everything and wants to know if it was a sick joke? I mean, she seemed like she knew what to do and wanted to be the chef, so she was the chef and ran the meal how she wanted it. But she’s still bitching?
And by the way, the crème brulee could have been blow-torched ahead of time while they were still eating their lunch. It doesn’t need to be served immediately upon torching it. It’s not like it’s being ‘heated’ which is what she probably thought by ordering him “don’t to that yet, they haven’t had their main.” You can even buy it pre-made already charred on top, so shut up Paris. Your name might be Paris but you’re clearly not French if you don’t know this.
Most chefs would have blown their stack, no pun intended, and made a huge scene in front of the guests. Instead since his work was done, he fucking dipped.
You would think Fraser would be dying to tell Kerry that Nick left the scene today at lunch, but instead tells him all was well, and NO drama and don’t you worry your pretty head about a thing. It was a little over the top.
Now Kerry needs to dig into into because he thinks Fraser was being ‘coy.’
We’re really grasping for drama it seems like.
Sunny keeps trying to sell excuses for being back with Pina Colada. You know if you have to sell your relationship or pretend relationship constantly, then you probably shouldn’t be in it. Sunny comes off to me like she’s trying to convince herself how it’s okay to still be hooking up with him irregardless of how disrespectfully he’s treated her.
Nick is actually pretty respectful to not be losing his shit on Paris. Maybe he’s a guy that doesn’t enjoy yelling at and demeaning women, since they’re smaller and weaker, and it’s easier to get away with abusing someone who can’t kick your ass. He knows that would be embarrassing in front of a million people.

Dylan tries to do a sexy pour of a water bottle on his bare chest to impress the girls, but didn’t know the water was cold I guess?
Oh well he tried. They seemed to still like it.
Dylan and the girls message each other on IG. I don’t believe there are any rules against that.
Fraser was also messaging with his dude. What’s good for the goose, is good for the other goose.
Sounds like something a Housewife would say.
Another very dramatic and nerve racking docking that goes fine. Oh, what? there’s some wind at the ocean? That’s weird.
The guest has to remind us again he owns a boat.
Success! It’s almost as if they’ve done this before!
Guests depart. No complaints about the food. I don’t think there’s even been a chef getting bitched at so badly by the interior, that the guests have zero complaints about.
So what is wrong with this picture?
Fraser looks disappointed with Mrs. Primary calling the food impeccable. What is going on that we have a chief stew going after the chefs this season trying to throw them off of their game constantly?
No wonder they’re getting half price to be filmed. These assholes are literally trying to get the maker of the fucking food (to me the most important crew member) to storm off the boat in frustration it seems! What is going on Bravo? We don’t like it!! It’s stupid! This isn’t Housewives!
Tip meeting and one more charter. Let’s see how much more Paris can harass the chef about garnishes and drizzle for 3 – 4 more meals.
Good tip, as it should be since they were bragging up storm about all of their extensive traveling and yacht ownership.
Barbie in her yap reminding us AGAIN about how she spends her tips on designer clothes.
It’s too much. We are all over Bragging Barbie. I guess she didn’t learn this very basic courtesy from the three nannies, the conservative dad, and the liberal sex therapist mom.
“My closet literally looks like Saks Fifth Avenue.” Okay Barbie. I’m sure that it LITERALLY does.
The good news is we should only have a few more eps of listening to this.
******
Kerry summons Paris to the bridge and gives her the business about ordering the chef around.
Thank God someone has some sense around here.
She has poor Nick looking so disheveled and beside himself that this is actually happening, while trying to remain professional and not go off on this chick.
Because you know, men aren’t supposed to be aggressive and yell at women. Simple common normal every day manners any idiot should know. Especially one that thinks he’s smarter than everyone and ‘a good guy.’
She was so argumentative at the beach about everything. She agrees to knock it off. She sort of threw Fraser under the bus for not communicating to Nick.
She’s acting like an American. Usually the non-American staff are not the shit-stirrers. I guess she wants her fifteen minutes. She admits to Barbie she was out of line. Ya think? She even told him where he was allowed to sit his food down as he was preparing in HIS fucking makeshift kitchen area. If I were him I would have left as soon as she said that. He should’ve been like ‘okay you want drama, you got drama. CHEF, OUT.’
He does need to talk to Fraser and Chef together so there’s no fucking lying. He should have actually had all three of them together. Paris should’ve been told to apologize.
Fraser starts kissing his ass now.
Looks like a girls’ trip on tap for last charter.
******
Everyone’s all psyched to go bowling.
I feel like Nick was not in on the Bravo chef take-down thing. You can see a total change in his behavior and demeanor from his first dinner where he was confident and self-assured. Now he’s walking around looking so forlorn and uncomfortable.
They always do seem a little off compared to the rest of the crew because they’re creatives and stews and deckhands not so much.
Kyle dons him a kilt for the night out. Miss Bougee Barbie doesn’t like it. Oh my God, now we’re going to hear how Daddy wouldn’t like this, and it doesn’t match her Cartier bracelet and Prada purse.
This girl should NOT be returning for another season. How does she not see how off-putting she is? And I liked her in the beginning. She just doesn’t know when to shut up. Read the room, Barbie. At first I thought she was refreshing. Now not so much.
The poor kid listens to you yammer on and on incessantly about YOUR heritage and YOUR lifestyle! He just wants to represent. Shut up!
If you look at what she’s wearing, she REALLY needs to shut it. That doesn’t look like fucking Gucci. It looks like Schein. And also what she was wearing on WWHL, she should totally shut up about his kilt.
She’s worried about him flashing his weenie. What WOULD Daddy say??
She doesn’t ride with him in the van to bowling, and tells Pina Colada Man and Sunny how she and Kyle are ‘very very different people’ again. Sunny looks bored with it. We’re all bored with it.
Kyle pleases the guys who encourage him to show off what’s going on under the kilt. Barbie starts pouting.
You know I was kind of kidding when I was saying Barbie is going to start on her daddy again over Kyle and the kilt flashing, but what does she say in her yap?
“My family is going to have a heart attack. Being Argentenian, I was raised really conservative…”
Well being Scottish, he was raised to laugh and have fun and not have a stick up his ass! (under his kilt)
“Would you like it if I flashed my tits?”
Barbie I don’ think anyone would notice.
That was rude but she’s getting under my skin with this ‘I’m better than you’ shit.
She gets over the kilt thing. She seriously thinks this will be something off of the boat and that she’s in love with him.
These kids.
Whomever gives them the least little bit of attention they think they’re ‘in love’ with. Sounds like someone I know who’s practically a dang senior citizen.
He ‘loves’ whomever is giving him the most attention on any particular day. Can you imagine walking around looking that foolish?
At least these people have an excuse. They’re sheltered on this boat for weeks, and they’re kids and don’t know any better, even though they should.
