The Insta guests are still on board and still clicking away. I don’t know why the crew is so annoyed about it. They’re ridiculously low maintenance. All they want to do is take their stupid pics of the ungarnished plates. Leave them alone.
New chef is already causing controversy if you can possibly believe it.
Here is what I want to say about the garnishments, or lack thereof. I agree the Eggs Benny could have used a little something pretty on the side, but after that dish, I thought the plates looked fine and Fraser was just being a whiny little bitch.
And what kind of leader has his staff do his dirty work for him??
This chef is British, and he’s 41. Not a kid, not taking these 25 year-old’s fucking shit, and he has the proverbial ‘dry’ sense of humor the Brits are know for. So if you’re easily offended you should probably shut up and leave him alone.
So the garnishment request didn’t go over well, especially coming from a lowly stew.
“Oh my God, what a disaster” Fraser mumbles.
A disaster that there’s no strawberries on the plate? This bitch is so petty.
******
Shut up Barbie. These words she’s loving to throw around because she thinks it makes her seem special or better than everyone are getting excruciating.
Modest. Conservative. Standards. Disappointed. Daddy this, Daddy that. . Sick of all of it.
Kyle did not rape you. Kyle was not really even forward or whiny in the least about getting with you. He was respectful.
It’s all boring us. No one cares.
I kinda wish she’d just admit the real issue, and that’s that Daddy wouldn’t approve of Kyle or think he’s good enough for her. I do question if her family is as wealthy as she claims.
Or maybe there’s no issue and this is completely made up.
She does a complete 180 about all of it, in this episode and that makes it look somewhat questionable.
Chef gets dragged for making a joke about all of the mayo Paris puts on her sandwich wrap thing.
She laughs about it, but bitches in her yap. I think he was kind of trying to be flirty, and she kind of laughed and seemed to be reciprocating.
He refers to himself as a little chunky. He wasn’t calling her chunky.
This is where a sense of humor just comes in handy. You either have one or you don’t.
Fraser’s very close to crossing the line with this dude as to what is appropriate on a charter between an employee and a guest. Is that fair to say? I think it is.
It’s getting very suggestive and risque.
Barbie talks to her sister about her fling with Kyle. I like Kyle, he’s a good kid, but no way in hell if they weren’t trapped on this boat for two months together, with very minimal outside contact, would she go for this kid. She would not give him the time of day.
It’s a typical boat fling. In her yap, now suddenly decides she no longer cares what her family thinks and she just wants to be herself and live her life. AKA bang Kyle in her bunk.
Okay, can you say contrived ‘story line.’ I guess she will make a good Housewife.
******
There will be a 2023.5 New Year’s celebration after dinner and Fraser is wanting to kiss the guest he has the hots for, although he’s acting quite coy. Who’s he trying to kid?
He even goes to Kerry asking if it’s okay. He okays a ‘peck.’
So no tongue Fras. Got it?
Dinner is served and Fraser starts his whining about the chef because his sauce was supposed to be more of a foam consistency.
He’s afraid the presentation will lose it’s appeal because the foam might flop as the plates are being carried to the deck. However, this turns out to be a non-issue since it wasn’t foamy to begin with.
Of course Fraser makes this seem like the end of the world, and refers to it as a disaster and horrific. Yes, Fraser this looks like a real disaster.
They love the dinner and they’re clicking away, so suck it Fraser. You’re not a guest, you’re a chief waiter and bed changer. You don’t have to love it.
Nick continues to try to joke around with Paris and she’s not amused. Maybe he kind of likes her, and he’s doing that thing ten year-old boys do, where they pick on the girl they like at recess and call her names. It’s highly likely because dudes do not mature from age ten. And if you don’t know that, then you’re in denial.
She starts her lack of garnish bit again that Fraser put in her head, since he was too pussy to say it. Cucumber stars? No. Stop. So tacky.
To be honest, his demeanor is that of a typical yacht chef that I’ve been used to seeing. We’ve had a few exceptions to the rule, like Anthony and Ilesha on Sailing Yacht last season, that were not pissy drama queens, but overall they don’t like to be told what to do or critiqued.
His plates are actually elegant. I mean the one dude that Fraser undressed, is sitting at dinner in his fucking drawers, I think the plates are fine.
I’m going to start taking a tequila shot every time Fraser and Paris say ‘garnish.’
Someone may need to come and scrape me off the floor. There’s 20 more minutes left.
Again, Fraser pushing the envelope with this guest he likes, in my opinion. This is okay, but a plate with no cherry tomatoes thrown on it??? The NERVE!!
Every time I see sparklers on the boats, I think of how Captain Creepy went completely off on Hannah that time, for using sparklers on a cake. I’ve mentioned this before, and Sandy stans were trying to say that it was just because she lit them inside.
Actually she lit them just before walking into the outdoor seating area, it was down inside the yacht. I’m sure for affect, she wanted them lit as they were presenting the cake to the table.
And from what I recall, she was yelling about the sparklers altogether, as being a fire hazard, not the fact they were not completely outside when they were lit.
The New Year’s kiss gets executed and was slightly more than peck. If Fraser can pick apart a dinner plate not being ‘garnished’ enough, then we can analyze his guest kiss as not being a ‘peck. Somebody should run and tell on him.
“Captain Kerryyyyyy, I do believe I saw a hint of tongue, and he lingered for .03 seconds!!”
******
As I said Barbie has made this complete 160 about her and Kyle, and apologizes to him for ‘ owning it.’ I don’t know if that’s really the right phrasing to use for her hissy crying fits for having sex with a guy, but whatever.
She looks like a whole different person.
They kiss and all is right with the world once again.
Glad that’s over because it was annoying as fuck, and dragged out quite long enough.
Fraser and this guest kid message each other about getting together in his room, and Fraser tells him it’s forbidden. He really thought Fraser could just waltz into his cabin and have relations with him?
******
Okay now it’s clear that Fraser s just purposely trying to get under this guy’s skin. They start their ‘garnish’ tirade again at breakfast, if you can believe it.
Then because Fraser has succeeded in getting him all cranky and annoyed, there’s miscommunication about the crepes because at this point Nick is all cranked up and on the defense.
He doesn’t understand that the guest requested chocolate crepes and thinks it was Fraser’s suggestion. Also Fraser wasn’t clear in his request.
To be fair, Nick is arguing with him just to argue with him, but Fraser asked for this shit.
Charter is wrapping up and doing the very dramatic nail-biting docking.
It’s a little ridiculous the cost of these charters when you take into account they’re on this boat for 48 hours. Shouldn’t it be at least three days? People have to be getting on and feeling like they’re turning around and leaving.
When Alex, the primary, aka the payor dude is presenting his envelope (that I read isn’t really full of money, they do the tip electronically) the first thing he does is rave about the food. Didn’t hear any complaints.
Nick seems like he’s totally stewing and keeps eyeballing that tip envelope.
Good tip. Despite the lack of plate garnish. And I didn’t do the tequila shot thing. Maybe it wasn’t daytime I would have considered it.
******
Fraser tattles on Nick now. He actually didn’t initiate the bitch session, Kerry summoned him up, however I believe it was due to his bitching that he overheard.
He tells Kerry that he’s underwhelmed with his food, and there’s zero presentation. The guests loved it, so that doesn’t carry a lot of weight. I’m assuming Kerry sees this. And there is presentation.
Fraser, you have a chef that doesn’t want to communicate with you because ya done pissed him off. This is not an Anthony with a very people pleasing and mild-mannered demeanor. Again, this is a typical arrogant set-in-his-ways chef. Think Ben or Leon, or the chick from Down Under, that I didn’t watch but I heard about.
Kerry nicely tells him it’s him. Kerry says what I said. The issues he had with Anthony he doesn’t have with Nick, (so shut it) and the guests were happy.
He should’ve pointed out how he was sitting at the Seven Fishes dinner, which went off without a hitch, one plate seamlessly coming out after another, and the guests were raving.
Fraser is being his unprofessional self, and bitching to the stews about Nick, and encouraging them to address the plate presentations with him, even though his Captain told him not to.
Paris whines about his jokes she didn’t like.
Well, hope they didn’t get too spoiled with that easygoing crowd, because this new crew sounds like a royal pain in the damned arse.
“We are accustomed to butler service, while on vacation” they inform on their preference sheet. That doesn’t sound pretentious at all.
They nicely need told while the staff is there to wait on therm and make sure that all of their requests are fulfilled, they’re not fucking butlers. Jesus. They have more to do than stand there and fucking wait to jump on your every whim.
Oh, and they have a yacht. I almost feel bad for this crew. But hey they signed up for this!
This is going to be a nightmare if this dude doesn’t throw some fucking tomatoes and extra parsley on these plates. At this point he’s just not doing it because the stews are telling him to. Kerry subtly mentions ‘presentation’ during the meeting.
By the way, tomato garnishments are used at diners with your cheeseburger. I’ve never seen a tomato on my plate at a bougee place.
Of course this guest that Fraser is into. is still in the area and wants to meet him that night.
Kyle says he orders a Pina Colada in honor of Ben. First of all, as you know is my opinion, dudes should not be ordering these under any circumstances. Second of all, why would you want one with your dinner. They’re like so creamy and filling. It’s literally like a milkshake.
Nick sort of tries to connect with one of the girls again, Barbie, this time, let’s see if he can piss her off, and tells a story about an ex-girlfriend (a Philly girl which I thought was funny) that he bought a Chanel bag for, and when they broke up he asked for it back. She politely laughs.
Ben is mad Sunny is ignoring him, and seems fine, so he decides to go hang on her with his garlic and Pina Colada breath.
Steven, the boat dude, does show up. They do seem into each other. It’s kind of cute. It’s just that I’m so pissed at Fraser over the way he acted over Anthony.
Now they’re allowed more than a peck.
Pina Colada Man cheers him on. Is that a gun in his pocket or is he just happy to watch them making out? I guess I’m getting why he’s popular with the ladies!
Barbie announces she’s “not going to hold back with Kyle tonight.” Okay, spare us the details.
Ben continues his advances on Sunny, and why do you suppose that is? Let’s think about that one.
Why is she falling for this shit?? He literally told her he didn’t even like her.
Then Camile turned him down flat, so he’s now all over her.
She calls it ‘confusing.’ Girl what are confused about? He needs somewhere to put his dick. Not confusing.
Barbie suddenly no longer cares what Daddy thinks. She keeps saying how opposite they are, insinuating she’s so bougee and refined, and he’s not. I’m so sick of her. We get it. You want to be a Housewife.
New roomies Nick and Dylan seem to have quite the bromance going.
That was a night of zero drama. I thought maybe Chef would pound some cocktails and get all in his feelings about his lack of garnishments.
They better rest up for this charter.
