  1. #TeamBarbie. I generally like Fraser but he is completely in the wrong with Barbie. She had no tone with him whatsoever, at least not in the scenes we saw, and he gets his shorts in a bunch and then goes and complains about her to Chef Anthony? Worse, he insinuates that he will fire her if she complains about him behind his back, like he's doing complaining about her behind her back? No. Absolutely not. They may have started off on the wrong foot but she's clearly a good worker and is pleasant to the guests. Like Kerry said last week, you don't have to like her personally and/or be friends with her but you do have to work with her. And note to the editing monkeys: Barbie is nothing like Camille, who did not want to work at all, and who drank during charter. Why on earth didn't Kerry take Cat out on the water after the guests had left? Seems absolutely unfair (and stupid) to do that when there is a charter in progress and Xandi and Fraser are off the boat, leaving Barbie to do the work of two people. I give Barbie credit for not telling Fraser and/or Xandi what happened while they were gone. I questioned last week whether Cat was going to have a meltdown each charter and here we go. They are going to find that they do not have time to pacify this emotionally 14-year-old every time she thinks people don't like her or she's not vibing with them. What does she expect? That is everyone is going to pay her attention and everything will center around her when they're out? Enough is enough. She needs to be told to do her job like the adult she supposedly is and quit worrying about whether she's vibing with anyone or whatever. It's six freaking weeks. Get over it or leave. Chef Anthony, OTOH, is grieving the death anniversary of his father and he holds it together better than Cat. I like him more and more each episode. His food looks wonderful, as does his plating. He gets up, goes to work, and avoids the drama (at least so far). I have no doubt that he will fulfill the dream he had with his dad and open a restaurant in Miami. Ben is a penis that is attached to a meat suit. Other than gunning for Jared's job, he really provides nothing else but looking to get laid. I expected more from Sunny. Kyle comes off as a bit lazy but apparently once he works, he does work. Jared has a problem. He's a belligerent drinker and he apparently drinks to get drunk. Given his previous conversations with Kerry, who can understand and sympathize the situation with his daughter, why on earth doesn't Jared go to Kerry and ask about using the ship's phone? There has to be a ship-to-shore phone on the boat, right? Or a laptop? Some way to communicate with his child's mother that there are connectivity issues and he's not blowing off talking to his daughter. He's letting the personal issues affect his judgment in every regard and it's going to get him a ticket home if he's not careful.
  2. Rehydrate? What? She wasn't taking a trek through the Sahara, she was on an air-conditioned soundstage, sitting on a couch, and talking. Jeebus, if Dorito had to have real jobs like the rest of us, she'd probably blink her eyes right off. And BTW, constant tardiness drives me crazy. They should have started the cameras rolling by 9. No excuses.
  3. I think Fraser may be one of the better chief stews we've seen. But yeah, I thought the same thing. Why on earth would you have Cat's first service be not only a dinner service but their wedding dinner service with Captain Kerry? Let her try a breakfast service first and see how she does. He's definitely letting his dislike for and frustration with Barbie cloud his judgment and decision making. Maybe. But I also think it's possible that Cat is overly sensitive and overly emotional and when she gets stressed out, her lack of self esteem kicks in and then she becomes certain that she doesn't fit in and doesn't have any friends onboard. We know the last part clearly isn't true because Fraser has bent over backwards for her and she and Sunny seem to get along.
  4. We must be in the same age bracket because I remember calling something or someone "gay" when I was younger being the ultimate insult, like you said, but having nothing to do with homosexuality. I guess it was just a word that was used improperly -- and irresponsibly. That said, I do think Garcelle has overreacted to this whole "attack" thing with Dorito -- and I say this as a fan of Garcelle's. If Dorito felt like she was being attacked, assuming verbally, by Garcelle, that's how she felt. Annemarie citing Sutton saying that AM was yelling at her, not the same thing as no one has said that you can't say that culturally to anyone -- and frankly, AM wasn't yelling at Sutton. Maybe they were raising their voices but more so to be heard over their constant interruptions and not because they were being aggressive. According to Annemarie, not only did he tell her she was an 8.5, he said she wasn't a 10. What a dick. I don't have any tats myself but I would think for someone with access to really incredible tattoo artists would have tats of more substance, for lack of a better word. Hers just seem so random and basic, again for lack of a better word. The one she got on-camera this season looked like something you'd get out of a Cracker Jack box that you'd lick and then stick somewhere. I am DYING!!! You win the internet with that name!
  5. THIS. So because Kyle started exercising, she can look down her rhinoplastied nose at anyone who doesn't? Bitch, please. At least Dorito's not getting matchy-matchy tattoos with a country "artist" and playing coy with everyone. The show really should have shown the clips of Annemarie and Kyle snarking on Sutton's esophagus. As I recall, while Kyle may or may not have contributed to the eating disorder convo, I'm fairly certain she insinuated that because she'd never heard of Sutton having an esophageal disorder, it didn't exist. I love Garcelle but girl, please let this "attack" thing go. If that word triggers you, say so and then move forward. I don't think Dorito is aware enough to be intentionally harming you. Honestly, do any of these ladies like each other besides Sutton and Garcelle? I couldn't tell if Erika was uncomfortable or secretly delighted at Dorito and Kyle going for each other. Kyle, you may think Dorito is stupid but we, the viewers are not. You haven't spoken to Dorito for months and then you send her a novella text the day before the reunion but it's not manipulative? Sure. I wish the ladies (or is it "ladies") would stop talking over each other. It's rude and when they do it, we can't fully hear what anyone is saying so the point becomes moot. Andy really does a shit job at keeping them under control. Sutton was the best dressed IMO.
  6. Totally agree. Fraser is 100% wrong in this situation. I find Fraser is giving Barbie more attitude than she's giving him, mostly by telling her that she constantly needs to pander to Cat. Cat's background is sad but no one should have to tiptoe around her because she's going to have a meltdown each and every charter. If she's that sensitive, she really has no business being on a reality show. I didn't particularly care for Barbie in the first episode but she's clearly a stew who knows service and has attention to detail. Maybe Fraser should give her a little more credit, some compliments and maybe a little attention instead of trying to "save" Cat. The weddings were just beautiful -- that scenery - wow! Love, love, love Chef Anthony. His accent and his food are both amazing.
  7. I actually decided to watch this crap tonight and was almost immediately reminded of why I abandoned this show years ago. FFS, these people are 40, or pushing 40, and they seem to have learned nothing. Everyone is insufferable, save Flat Iron's assistant, Ann, and the pets. Fortunately, my brain attempted to save itself by sleeping through at least a quarter of this mess. Very sad when I miss the days of Jax's chunky sweater, Stassi's "it's all about me" birthday month, Tequila Katie, Schwartz panicking over any kind of work and Kristen, who looked as though she smelled like a truck stop, declaring how hot and attractive they all were.
  8. Ugh. This show. I really wish the "experts" would step in and expert themselves before everything snowballs - although I don't recall so many clusterf*cks before the couples even move in together. While I think Lauren and Orion were a poor match from the start, they are a clear example of why, during the honeymoon, the couples should act as if they are on first dates and not have these in-depth serious convos that can and should be saved until later. You're on your honeymoon! Just have fun and get to know each other on a more surface-level basis. I mean, you met this person less than a week ago; you don't have to be talking about religion and politics, etc. I honestly don't know the truth about Orion but it seems pretty clear that the racial thing was nothing but a Hail Mary. I'm pretty pissed that no one has confronted him about the fact that he said the "n" word, which is just as egregious as Lauren questioning redskin. Actually, it may be worse because while some people may not know the history of redskin, almost everyone knows about the "n" word. In any event, Lauren should consider herself lucky that she only had to spend seven days with Orion and write it off as a lesson learned. I think that Pastor Cal was wrong to ask Brennan in front of Emily what he did not like about her. Dude, seriously. Have this convo in another room with just Brennan and then feel free to ask. I'm not sure I believe that Brennan was never attracted to Emily; if that's true, he's a fairly decent actor. I'm wondering if, after spending seven days with her, he saw how much she drank. She did seem to be drinking quite a bit. I also wonder if she fell and hurt her hand because she was drunk. Personally, that would turn me off someone -- especially someone who is pushing 30. Bad enough when you're 21 but if you're still doing this at 30, it's a lifestyle choice for you. Brennan also mentioned that his parents fought quite a bit and his dad was a vodka drinker (if I'm remembering correctly). Makes me wonder if alcohol played a part in his family dynamics. If so, then I could understand why he'd be hesitant to have a party girl for a wife - and especially if he was looking for someone more serious. And I can also understand why he didn't want to get into the things he doesn't like about Emily if they had anything to do with her drinking. That said, I think Emily seems like a nice girl -- and I say this as someone who did not like her at all in the first episode. She really needs to find herself a good therapist and realize that maybe she's been ghosted so many times because she's being a party girl when the men she's with don't want that. (And she also needs some new friends who are more friends than frenemies.) I had hope for Becca and Austin but that's faded after Austin making comments about not moving in together after Decision Day. That never bodes well. No idea if he's just really thinking about things after seven days, or if Becca is tiring after seven days, or if their serious discussions (here we go again) played into it. But once again, maybe save the serious talks about religion and kids and health until after the first month passes or something. In the real world, I would say these discussion might scare someone off but these are folks on MAFS, so they've skipped the whole dating thing. I think Cameron and Clare could potentially make it, if Clare would loosen up a little bit and just relax and try to get to know Cameron and enjoy her time with him. Didn't she say she was a therapist or a counselor? Seems ironic, given that she has such a difficult time communicating with him. He seems like a nice, fun guy to me who is honestly giving this "experiment" a shot. Maybe he'll take Clare out to get a bike with a frame that actually fits her and she'll see what he's very passionate about and they can get on some common ground. At this point, they are the only couple that may have a chance.
  9. Kyle. Since he climbed aboard, it's been nothing but problems. Lily is a fourth stew. If she's not getting what her job duties are, it's a reflection on her supervision. She did mention that in her previous job there was no laundry and it doesn't sound like she had to do beds and heads either. As someone else mentioned, why not have her run plates and more guest-related services? I guess if she did that, there would be less drama. I liked Jessika at the beginning of the season but I'm really not feeling her now. She didn't like how Kyle treated her or how she perceived Natalya was treating her. She's doing the same thing to Lily. Why is she playing runtelldat to Tumi about Lily's iPad? She could have asked Lily why she had it. She's simply trying to stir the pot - something she must have picked up from Kyle since they've become buddy-buddy. Honestly, I can't wait for Natalya's reappearance (and I am not a Natalya fan) so that Jessika gets a taste of karma when Luka ignores her to invest all his energy into Natalya. Kyle is the very definition of an exhausting drama queen. He said he felt like Kyle at 21. No, he's always acting like Kyle as a teenager because everything with him is dramatic end of the world crap. I give Jack credit for smoothing things over with him. I too thought Hayleigh was hungover. Can no one on these boats go out and not get absolutely smashed to the point of vomiting the next morning and complaining about how hungover they are? That should be a serious safety violation. I thought it was ridiculous that Luka had to get every single deckhand out of bed to carry plates for dinner while Jessika and Lily were doing cabins. Come on. Pull Lily off cabins to help carry plates. How many crew members do they need to carry plates up anyhow?
  10. Denise was a hot mess at that dinner but cleaned up by lunch with Garcelle, Sutton, and Cystal -- and I still love her. So every dinner with these "ladies" ends up a disaster. On what planet would adding weed make it any better? I've been watching RHOBH since day one and I distinctly remember Kyle screeching about how marijuana was a gateway drug. I guess she changed her mind. Faye can STFU. I'll listen to Camille calling her the morally corrupt Faye Resnick forever though. So now Erika is claiming her marriage to Tom was an arrangement? Didn't she try and tell us for years that she fell in love with him, it was a love match, she loved older men, etc.? Good on Annemarie for not even hesitating to tell the ladies her height and weight. You go, girl. Garcelle is still the queen in my book. #Garcelleforthewin Kim's artwork is actually very good -- although drawing all over her walls is a bit eccentric. Does Amazon not deliver paper to her house?
  11. Kyle is absolutely insufferable. Have we had an episode yet where he hasn't yelled at someone, fought with someone, rewritten history, and/or passed the blame? So Jess gets Luka in her and now she's become a judgey little brat? Maybe I'm wrong but if memory serves, the first night they went out she got tanked and was late/slow moving the next day. Not to mention that someone (i.e, Tumi and Natalya) had to train her so what's with the attitude about not liking or wanting to have to train Lily? Lily may be no prize, although she seems harmless enough, but no one should have expected her to walk right on a super yacht, in the midst of a charter season, after having worked on small boats and been able to jump right in as if she had been doing this for years. Maybe she's right and a little more positive encouragement would go a long way? Did she and Max hook up? I thought Max told Luka they did not and were just hugging. Or should I say "hugging"? So even though Luka is slipping it to Jess, he's text messaging Natalya. It should get interesting when she returns during a crew night out - both Jess and Kyle will have breakdowns.
  12. So this episode was sitting in my DVR for a week and I finally watched it last night. Okay, I ff'd through most of it. Emily is a disaster. No way will her marriage work. I'm not shading her for being 29 and never having been in a serious relationship (unlike her "friends") but I will shade her for being a drunken fool. Girl, you're on camera. Your future husband will see this. His family will see this. Has no one (i.e., her "friends") ever told her WHY she's getting ghosted by 100% of her dates? Obviously, the "experts" weren't interested in finding out but talk about a huge red flag. I feel sorry for Brennan and I have zero hope for them. I don't see Lauren and Orion making it - although I didn't see Brianna and Vincent making it either, so there's that. I don't think Orion is manly enough for her, if that makes sense. And please, no more "girth" comments. Was that whole thing a set up? Because Lauren was the one mentioning size from the girls' side as well. I feel badly for Michael, regardless of the reason he had a runaway bride. When he walked up with the crown and scepter and the asymmetrical hair and piercings, I honestly thought someone from the bride's side would legit send her a text and tell her to run. From the intro, I was thinking that would be my fear if I was ever on a show like MAFS because if my first view of my husband-to-be at the end of the altar was Michael, not going to lie, I would panic. Of course, once we got more info on him, he seems like a really nice, intelligent man. He shouldn't have to change for anybody - but maybe tone it down just a little in the beginning until people get to know you. I pretty much dozed off in between ff'ing and don't really remember anyone else.
  13. On WWHL Kyle said that the thing that hurt her most regarding the separation was the rumor that she and Mo were doing this for ratings. Or a storyline. (Or maybe because Mo has a big old lawsuit pending against him). Anyhow, she said nobody would do that to their family and children for ratings (paraphrasing). Well, in the previews we saw a scene where Kyle and Mo sit down with their daughters and apparently drop the bomb about separating. Who would do THAT to their children, even adult children? They agreed to have it filmed. That seems cruel -- and for ratings. The Bravo production crew isn't with them 24/7 during filming - could they not have had this convo off camera? And even if the crew was there, Kyle and Mo could have flatly refused to film something like that. So is the separation real or made up for Bravo? Real and they are using it to advantage for storyline purposes? And if anything but just real, are the kids in on it too?
  14. $300,000 a MONTH? Boy, did I choose wrong when I got married. I'm with Dorit - Erica's hormones are Ozempic or the like. She's way too skinny and she looks horrible. I do like Dorit's darker hair. The pizza scene with Kyle and Dorit - in several shots of Kyle, it was like looking at Kathy's face with Kyle's hair. First time I've ever seen such a resemblance. The tattoo scene with Kyle and Mo was hard to watch. Did Mo really not know about Kyle's extra tattoos? That scene came across scripted to me. Garcelle's sons really have great personalities. I hurt for her when Jax said he needed parenting two years ago but not now. Still love her. I hope she brings the snark and zingers this season. Did we see Crystal at all besides the Eaglewoman retreat?
  15. Team Tumi. Screw Natalya and her screaming and hand waving. At least this episode we didn't have to hear, once again, about her open relationship. In a non-reality show world, if your boss/supervisor tells you they want to have a talk, you don't say no unless you're looking to be demoted or fired. Natalya was 100% out of line to tell Tumi no to a discussion, especially after Sandy told both of them to talk it out. When they finally did have a discussion, it was clear that Natalya is never going to let go what she considered Tumi's unappreciative behavior. If I were Tumi, I simply could not work with her, nor would I want to. Natalya is a third stew; I'd be worried she'd jack something up just so the chief stew would get blamed. The vegan guest was a PITA. If you're picky, maybe let the chef and chief stew know that you have certain dietary requests. And "fried" doesn't necessarily translate to "breaded and deep fried." Max is completely lazy -- especially compared to Lara. So Kyle basically stirred the pot, playing both sides of the fence, and slips thru unscathed? Based on his appearance on WWHL, he's apparently gotten some work done (nose? eyes?)
