I was kind of disappointed at how Sandy didn’t shit can Kyle. I admit I wasn’t being exactly realistic with that hope. Nat is gone, and if Kyle would be fired, I guess that would be kind of self-destructive, as far as the boat is concerned. She seemed really pissed, and for once justifiably so, as opposed to last BD season when she had this little convo with Rachel looking like her head was going to explode, as she tried to convince Rachel that her delayed plates were the stews’ faults.
Actually Fraser’s, as chief stew, because she hated Fraser. He wasn’t good looking enough for her, and she seemed to be disgusted by his gayness and more specifically, (yes, I know she is also gay) his femininity.
Anyway, back to this, Kyle had started three heated senseless ridiculous arguments with three different people, and she had already called for a new stew, so I was hopeful.
They wrapped up last week with her telling him. “I don’t want a person like you on board…” That was a little bit misleading!
And I want to add, that I cannot FATHOM Kyle as a chief stew. He’s a terrible stew. He’s a terrible person. So basically he’d be Kate Chastain, as the horrible human and bully, except lazy and sucky at this job. It might be entertaining, watching him crash and burn, and having dude meltdowns every 23 minutes. A dude not in control of his emotions is such a sad thing to see and watch unfold.
It’s frustrating and sad, but also kind of funny at the same time. If you’ve never been around this type of dude, be happy, be very happy. If you have, you know what I mean. They look so weird and stupid as they’re spiraling and having tantrums about absolutely nothing.
Sandy, Captain Sandy, being so freaking diplomatic this season, and fair? What a 180! HMMMMMMM, so weird. And she’s not even creeping on the cute blonde deck hand, who is so her type, and also a lesbian!! HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
She’s not even creeping on any of the chicks!!! Did Bravo give her a sit down?? Shape up Captain Creepo, or ship out ! No pun intended!
Sandy accuses Kyle of bullying, and showing a “lack of respect in the workplace.”Also interesting. I mean, COME ON, she was the biggest bully and most disrespectful of all last BD season, when she filled in for Lee. But okay, I do see she’s seemingly turned over a new leaf so, I’ll try to let that slide.
He storms his thunder thighs away, stomps down the steps muttering that he’s leaving. Please, no, don’t go Kyle, stay.
He proceeds to his cabin feigning packing like a Housewife on a girls’ trip. Tumi “no you can’t leave, that’s not who we are.” Yet, YET bitch you practically pushed Nat out the door. But for Kyle to now leave, that’s ‘not who we are??’ What a cunty little fucking twat.
Tumi has to be a little panicked here, because this speaks to her piss poor management skills, if both of her stews bolt.
Kyle doesn’t like being referred to as the ‘common denominator.’ Yeah I have one of those. Every fucking thing that has gone wrong in my life over the past 3-4 years, this diabolical monster has been the absolute common denominator.
During all of this, Max also wants to also take off, due to the bad vibes that Kyle is causing. People like Kyle and others, do not comprehend that the average, normal person (as they are NOT) can’t deal with constant yelling, insults, mind games and bullying. We as humans, are not wired to be in a constant state of panic, on the defense, and humiliated and insulted. It’s not normal. But people that behave this way, like Kyle and others, and have been like this most of their life, it’s NORMAL to them, and they can’t comprehend in their itty bitty warped minds that this abuse affects people that do not behave this way.
Because we know it’s wrong. The don’t, and they don’t care. Kyle doesn’t care. Now he’s the fucking victim because he got in trouble with the boss for his asinine fucking behavior, that he got called out on, and knows is true. Still ironic that Sandy is all beside herself over someone exuding her exact behavior such a short time ago, but I do need to let it go. I promise I will try.
Tumi in her yap is “starting to see that he’s the common denominator.” Starting to see?? I don’t mean to sound like a dick, but Tumi, girl, you are not smart. And you didn’t manage correctly at the start. So here we are. I’m hoping this is all contrived for Bravo money and fame, because she can’t be this dumb.
Frenchy still insists he’s leaving. But I don’t know. It seems more like he wants everyone to beg him to stay. Lara tells him he needs to speak to Sandy asap, so she can get a replacement.
Jack’s all huffy at Kyle because he and Nat had formed a bond, and Kyle’s abuse is the reason why she left, along with Tumi’s alliance with him. He refers to Kyle as a ‘rat.’ Could not agree more.
Charter 5, which is a one-nighter. Another crew of all ladies. That should make Sandy happy. And Jack don’t you dare take a sip of alcohol at 11pm after all your work is done!! Tumi might tell!!
Nat’s replacement will be arriving before the next charter. Remember at dinner, Tumi was all “Oh we’ll be fine with three…” I was cracking up at that, as if that’s her fucking decision. Now she has to train a new and very inexperienced stew. Love it.
Max breaks to Sandy his intention of leaving after this charter. Sandy kills him with compliments, and dangles letting him drive the boat, and seems to have talked him out of it. He is still upset and affected at the way Kyle screamed at him. I feel like Europeans are less likely to tolerate this warped personality disorder shit, than Americans are.
Kyle seems like he’s trying to buddy up with Jessika, and kiss her ass by offering her his larger room, he had been sharing with Nat. I’m guessing he just wants to room with Tumi, and butter her up, to save his job.
I mean, there has to be an ulterior motive. He didn’t do that to be some ‘stand-up guy.’
Tumi has to train a new green stew, never even worked on a yacht before, just smaller boats, and ‘hospitality experience’ while dealing with Kyle and his animosity at life, and constant traumatic meltdowns. I love it. I love IT!!
Her name is Lily, she’s English, so already we know she’s most likely not an asshole, and she’s very pretty. Frenchy is immediately intrigued. Maybe this is just what he needed to export the Kyle ickiness from his mind. I think his refusal to accept this kind of behavior and abusive treatment, and speaking out about how bothersome it is to his mind and body, is kind of cool.
She seems to be from the uppity part of the UK. Managed Wimbledon, she brags, and other key events. She also seems to be an extensive traveler, and spends four months in the U.S. every year. Not sury why.
I wish they could get Kyle longer shorts that actually fit him, and some self-tanner. I’m being bitchy. So sorry.
So he approaches Sandy to issue what sounds like a sincere apology, but isn’t, in order to make himself feel better. He didn’t have much to say in the initial reprimand. I think he knew to get the hell out of there before she changed her mind. He brags how he apologized to Natalya. Okay Kyle, good job.
Sandy is receiving all of his desperate pathetic BS. Desperate pathetic BS. THAT sounds familiar too.
Why didn’t she give Alissa this second chance after calling her ‘Sandy?’ As opposed to Captain Sandy? Alissa was a million times the stew than Kyle is, and wasn’t running around screaming at everyone. Yes she had her issues with Camille, but Camille was frustrating and lazy AF. I guess she hates black people more than she hates gay guys??
I’m trying to be better with Sandy, baby steps. She was also horrible to Hannah, don’t forget, and made a habit out of praising the deck crew and being overly critical of the stews. I do think she’s creepy, plays favorites, and I think she’s racist. But I think she’s working on it, even if it’s just to keep her gig with Bravo. I think they want to keep her due to the boxes that she checks. A female Captain is very cool, I just wish it didn’t have to be Sandy. And you notice they got rid of Lee when he spoke out regarding his disgust for the way she ran his boat. Just Sayinnnnnnnnn!!!!
Guys, let’s be real. A lot of odd occurrences took place after that season, such as no reunion, and the prompt dismissal of Captain Lee. You have to be kind of in your own world and not realistic to not see that. It seems it was all related to Sandy’s extreme bizarro conduct, and obvious hatred towards the interior. Except Chef Rachel.
Guests arrive, and it’s a more mature group of girls, compared to the last one.
Changing clothes for five minutes, to greet the guests seems like such a waste of time to me.
This new chick’s main duty is going to be laundry, since she’s replacing Nat, who did that shit in her sleep with one hand tied behind her back, and she has no clue how to use the steamer, or what it even is, or how to do laundry. This is gonna be good! She seems to not know how hangers work either. I am here for this! Kyle breaks the bad news to Tumi.
Tumi acts annoyed at having to train Lily on laundry. She just threw her in there with no explanation, so yeah it’s kind of in disarray. She gives herself undeserving accolades for being the chief stew, and also doing training. What in the fuck? Girl, just stop. You’re a fucking glorified maid. You’re not an engineer. You’re not above training a stew. Shut it.
Oh, she misses Nat. Really, now? You don’t say?
Max is excited about his opportunity at steering the boat.
The ladies just want to sun bathe and don’t want to bother with any water activities. I kind of don’t blame them. If in your every day life you don’t get to just chill and relax sometimes that’s all you need!
But the Mediterranean IS right there. The crew is pissed that they don’t want to do anything. Sandy and Max encourage them to get up off their ass. The one is bitching she can’t be in the sun that long. OhmiGod how stupid. Put some sunscreen on and shut up. They decide to give the slide a shot and love it.
Kyle still believes he’s the victim and whines about his morale, meanwhile he has succeeded in killing the spirit of two fucking people on the boat. But HE’S upset. Do you see why these people are frustrating?
Portofino is gorge. They are docking here at the guests’ request, and it’s a big drama because it seems like this dock has no particular rules about anything, while boats are flying around, not caring that this monstrosity trying to back into a very narrow dock. I get nervous trying to back out of a narrow driveway, so this is impressive. Go Sandy! Yay Sandy!! I mean Captain Sandy. See, I’m trying. I’m being so fucking nice to this hag. I mean, nice lady.
This does seem like a lot just so they can frolic around town for a few hours, and eat gelato.
Sandy treats the deckies to ice cream for their excellent job docking the boat. So that’s nice, but she typically is very delightful with the deck crew. But I get that she wanted to reward them for handling this tough task. It was a nice gesture.
I don’t know that Jack is really giving Kyle the silent treatment, per se. It seems more like just awkward silence. Maybe he doesn’t have anything to fucking say to him. He doesn’t respect him, he has nothing in common with him, and doesn’t care to chat.
Kyle could also say something to break the ice, maybe give the bullshit spiel that he gave Sandy. He knows he was wrong and he’s striving to be better. Or was that just a big fat batch of fucking propaganda fed to Sandy??? I’m going with the latter.
As dinner is served, I’m noticing that I don’t hink Kyle is that great on service.
He doesn’t even interact with the guests, and seems to have no pep or personality?? Lily seems really energetic. I legit think Tumi should put Kyle’s fat ass in laundry, and have Lily do service and interact with the guests. To me, it also seems like the easier job. Wasn’t he all about entertaining and being personable last season? Now he’s a big fat dud.
Tumi’s trying to decipher, and make a plan on how to distribute duties and handle a stew that can’t do shit on her own. Replacing a very experienced and efficient stew that works independently, with little to no instruction, with a stew that needs constant supervision, seems to have thrown off the whole dynamic. Hmmm. Interesting. I love how she’s really sucking up to Jack.
The girls want to see some naked dancing deckies. Guess they’re bored. Are they even drinking? It doesn’t seem like it. Not even seeing wine glasses.
After the show, they head to bed. Another super easy breezy charter of normal down-to-earth people. I love this for the crew.
One of the guests think that eggs taste weird when eaten outdoors. I don’t know if I would call that a ‘prima donna’ thing as Tumi describes. Maybe just a thing. She took her plate to the bar and ate them, without making it a whole big thing. It ’s not like she demanded them to not be served. That would be a prima donna. Tumi’s stupid. Her story in her yap, about the raspberries in the bedroom, that she refers to also as prima donna behavior is also not. Does she even know what it means?? She tries really hard to be funny, and laughs at her own jokes, that aren’t funny. These ladies are the farthest thing from prima donna’s, Tumi.
And out of Portofino they go!
Lily is still struggling with being the launderer. There are piles of folded sheets and laundry everywhere spilling into the crew mess; Kyle gets pissy with her. No pun intended, but they made their bed, now they need to lie in it. With or without sheets.
Tip meeting. I am blinded by Kyle’s legs. I’m not sure why he feels the need to squeeze on this couch, with four other people, where there is no room for him.
They head out, everyone’s in good spirits, for now, until spirits start being consumed.
Jack and Lily sort of commiserate and bond since they’re both English. She asks him about his ‘friends’ on the boat. He says Nat, and no one else really since her departure. Lily must have been told to sort of egg him on.
Kyle stares at him in kind of a sinister way, doing some weird thing with his tongue, and is annoyed by their jokes about their ‘English banter.’ He accuses Jack of newfound bravery with Lily in his corner.
Well, yeah so what. He has a friend. Just like you have Tumi, that’s enabled you to spread your shittiness all around. Didn’t you bond with Tumi since you’re from the same country?
He walks away. Just keep walking, dude. Take a long walk off of a short pier.
