Like Bravo cares. They know most of us will be there, even if they drag Ashton under water for the next three episodes. SCUBA gear, stat!

Tyler looks so much better with a scruffy beard and longer hair.

Soooo good.

Claws are out.  They were so tired the last charter with just two of them.  But Kate is already over the new stew.

Deck crew is going to be on thin ice with the accident.  They edited it so Ross says he wishes he had a day with the new deckhand to go over the safety procedures and then Ashton gets pulled overboard.

That’s got to be weird for the guests, as soon as their charter departs port, there’s a potential life-threatening situation.

[Caseysgirl]

Rhylee didn’t come off any better on WWHL than on the show. It was very clear that Captain Lee can’t stand her, and Ross just looked bemused.  

[ivygirl]

I’m with all you who would be annoyed by the Unicorn’s insistence of doing comfort food his way. 

I remember a friend of mine who used to run large meetings in hotels. After a full week of hotel meals, she was always looking forward to eating a chicken pot pie at Carrows or something. Maybe it’s the same for these guests, and I imagine I might be the same way after or during a week of travel. Give me a grilled cheese made with American slices and white bread – I don’t want gruyere and caramelized onions on an artisan baguette.

I’m also tired of Unicorn’s pronouncements of who he does and doesn’t abide in his kitchen. It’s shades of Leon to me. Granted Caroline and Rhylee’s behavior was obnoxious, but suck it up, buttercup. You’re part of a team.

That, combined with the screaming match between Riley and Ross,  which was edited with shots of the guests leaning over the rails above decks so they wouldn't miss a word of the fight. Not exactly a source of all-around warm  fuzzies!

[langford peel]

I know we only saw a moment of the accident play out but it seems like they were woefully unprepared. They were standing around like the reality show douches and not real deckhands.

I guess that clears that up once and for all.

[Skycatcher]

Is it possible that this new stew, having been a chief stew herself, will be a good match for Kate's "mean girls" crap?  That might be worth seeing.

[MrsWitter]

From WWHL: Brandi Glanville tweeted that she LOVES Rhylee. Rhylee loves her right back. Because of course.

The thought of the two of them together, drinking and tweeting (well, maybe throw in Caroline for the tweeting), is terrifying.

With regard to the napkin and the champagne glasses - she prepped the tray with the cabinet door ajar, and when she closed the door, the corner of the napkin got caught in the door, so when she lifted the tray, the napkin was stuck. I caught this and mentioned it to my husband, as I've done this before when I worked in catering, and I also broke a few glasses.  When Kate laid the glasses on her tray, all of the napkin corners were folded under, so no extra fabric was hanging over the edge of the tray (and she held the glasses down with her hand for extra safety).

[Delete]

I couldn’t stop laughing when Zen Adrian randomly started working on some hippie crafts, and was making a dream catcher to impress the new stew. Next week watch for him to whip out the pan flute and serenade her with a selection of tunes from the “Best of Zamfir.” 

[Joan van Snark]

As others have noticed, i think there is a serious undercurrent of strangeness lurking in Adrian.  "Rhylee is not allowed in the galley at all and can't even glance in my direction!  She pushed a van seat back at me!!"  Ok....... 

Seems a tad overboard for such a minor thing and I don't even think Rhylee really has anything personal against Adrian.  It was just another one of her drunk outbursts.

I'm wouldn't be surprised at all if Adrian had a psychotic breakdown at some point during the season.

I know Rhylee has a serious chip on her shoulder and is kind of nuts but I strangely like her for some reason.  She goes about it completely wrong, but I think her intentions are actually decent.  She wants more responsibility and to help but just has no patience or tact.  I think with some maturity she may turn out OK.

I do as well, I went in not liking her because of all the preseason promos but with the way Chandler was with her made me see where she was coming from. I think the problem now is Chandler set the tone and now that he is gone she is still stuck in that mindset. I can't help wondering how she her attitude would be if Ross or Kelley or Eddie was the boson from the beginning.

[1SimonMom]

I watched WWHL with Capt Lee, Ross, Rhylee.  Couple of things:

• I don't think there is going to be a Reunion and yet there is if there is ever a season that needs a two parter its this but I think AC only has a thing for Capt Yawn so only reunion for tehm
• Ross is so shy and HOT - he just seems to be sweet
• You should have caught the look when Lee had to talk about Kate and how Caroline had 3 pages of information, Ross and Red were whispering to each other, I do think there was somewhere in the middle of Kate and Carolines 
• Regarding Unicorn man, I think Lee has a soft spot for Ben because he would not answer who he would want to eat his last meal from 
• You should have seen how Rhylee was speaking to Lee and over everyone, a couple of times Lee was seeing Red and it was not the color of Rhylees hair, he hates her

I hate to believe that hackneyed romance novel tropes like that work, but damn it really did seem to shut Rhylee up the next morning.

I mean, given her behavior, it kind of makes sense. We've seen her show up in a totally see-through outfit. We've seen her acting jealous about girls Ashton hits on at the club. Maybe she just wanted a bit of attention. Ross made her feel desirable, now she's calmed down a bit.

Agreed. I hated the way Adrian acted all put out by their request. As if he's too talented and sophisticated to make a simple burger with some fries. I get that you have all these concoctions up your sleeve; but, at the end of the day, you're there to deliver what the guests want.

Laura is meh.  Was rude for her to criticize so soon but I'm sure casting worked to get somebody on board (pun intended) to clash with Kate and Josiah.  And made her attractive so Rhylee would have some competition. So nice of her to wear a swimsuit bottom that went up her ass.  Nooo - she's not looking to hook up with anybody.  Not at all;)

Tyler is cute. Nice to have some additional eye candy for the rest of the season.

Could have done without seeing Ross making out with Rhylee. 

And yes, Bravo sucks by once again teasing the "man overboard" thing.  I'm sure Ashton will be fine.  No, really.

I agree on everything.  Bravo knows how to string the audience along but it particularly annoyed me in this case.

Professionally, nothing puts me off someone more than saying they're going to "re-vamp everything" on their first day on the job.

Laura found the perfect way to make your coworkers dislike you from the beginning.

We once had a new engineer come in to the lab and one of his first phrases was:

"Hurry up and teach me everything so I can tell you what you're doing wrong."  That went over well.....

[annewithaneee]

Laura was a genius pick. Nothing about the Caroline arc was the delicious, funny, dismissive mean girl-ing I was expecting and hoping to see from Kate and Josiah. It was a girl who was going through it trying to invent a pattern of sinister abuse where there was none (and not in the fun Kelly Bensimon "systematic bullying/satchels of gold" way, even). Now they've got somebody to hate where it'll actually be sporting, and therefore fun to watch (hopefully). Usually when we see a stew who won't shut up about their own past chief stew experience, it's the second stew -- it's going to be interesting to see her as third stew, especially when Kate and Josiah have been seemingly the most efficient duo in BD history...she's not going to have much of a leg to stand on in complaining that they're not working enough, but I look forward to her trying it anyway.

ETA: Baby alien chef has NEVER looked better than he did lounging at the resort talking to Laura. He needs to make a screenshot of that his new Tinder profile pic -- the lighting was just right, the sunglasses must have been hiding whatever it is with his face that kinda bothers me, the little flower in his hair...it was a good look.

He said something similar in a previous episode. “All these people with their allergies and preferences LIMITS MY CREATIVITY.”  Waaaahhhh. Granted it can’t be easy to accommodate a bunch of separate wants and needs, but I hate it when people get put out by food allergies (real ones), as if the allergic person is intentionally being difficult. 

There’s also something to be said for the idea that limitations enhance creativity. Isn’t that the whole premise of Chopped?

Yes.  I think he's adorable and I get the feeling that he's actually a really nice person.  I loved the scene a few episodes ago when he was cheerfully whistling while he washed the dishes.  When he gets past his "horn dog" days (and his stripper move mating calls), he'll probably make a happy gal out of someone. 

Edited to add: I don't know if it was editing manipulation, but I thought all of the guys were awkward and kind of gross regarding the new stew.

But didn't you LOVE that the reason she dropped and broke the glasses was that the "napkin wasn't ironed correctly and it had all these bumps."  Oh, genius?  Then why did you put it on the tray?  I have a feeling this is the crew member that drives Kate to the point of telling the captain "either she goes or I go."

So we have another one who knows it all and is never at fault. "Obviously" the person who incorrectly ironed the napkin is to blame, not (former) Super Chief Stew!

Yes!  Talk about starting off on the wrong foot - maybe hold your criticism until sometime after your welcome aboard tour, Chatty Cathy.

When the guest specifically requests a burger and fries, they should get a burger and fries.  Also, preference sheets and dietary restrictions are your bible, special snowflake chef.  I'm sure with your mad skillz, you could wow them while still working within those parameters.  Because - it's your JOB.

I've seen the same man overboard scene too many times.  Sadly, it has diminished the dramatic effect that the actual event will have for me.

[Blindfox]

Ross, you stupid idiot, you can’t fire a woman who works under you after you go to her room and kiss her. Do you know how that looks? Doesn’t matter if she was into it; she can turn it into anything she wants now. Good luck.

I still like delicate flower Adrian, but if I had my mouth all set for a really good burger and got a lamb slider instead, I would definitely be a little annoyed. Luckily, he pulled it off. I also loved him casually making the dream catcher. That was so Adrian!

Laura, Laura. When you show up at a new job, always get the lay of the land before you put yourself out there. And don’t criticize your boss. And don’t blame your screw-ups on others. And don’t talk over your boss when she’s giving you instructions!

[Mr. Miner]

I don't think that if "man overboard" was shouted through the radio the captain is going to say "what?". Probably just editing?

[dleighg]

When the guys jumped on the slide (and Adrian in his chef's clothes) all I could think was "Ack- more laundry for the two stews!"

and those "truffled eggs"? I saw him just put some drops of that nasty truffle oil (which has *nothing* to do with truffles) that always gets slammed on cooking shows like Chopped or Top Chef. But the guests liked them....

 A little?  I'm a fussy eater. When I get my taste buds set for something THAT'S what I want.  If I had been at that table after expressing my disappointment I would have gotten up and left.

I was in Hawaii several years ago and had been swimming and kayaking in Kealakekua Bay for a couple of hours - sunburn of the century!  When I got out of the water I CRAVED a cheeseburger. And not just any cheeseburger, no Mickey D, and no lamb, no artisanal bread, no truffles or anything else a unicorn might use to cook with.  It had to be a world shatteringly good cheeseburger.   I drove all over the west side of the Big Island before I finally found what I needed and OMG it was sooooo  beyond satisfying!  I ended up eating there several times afterwards and still lost weight with all the swimming etc. My kind of diet!

 Note to the unicorn - you showing off does not equal me being satisfied.

Rhylee sucks.

I thought the same about what Adrian made for the guests, but I love being brought out of my comfort zone, if I'm not brought out of my comfort zone, I'd eat the same shit forever, and IMO, if you're not trying and learning new things, what's the point of leaving home?  Just my two cents.

 Go make a dreamcatcher or knit an afghan Adrian if your creativity is being limited.

The new stew knows exactly what is her most important job duty: make lots of drama for Bravo. I can already tell she's fake. I know Rocky wasn't well liked by Below Deck viewers but I actually liked her a lot. She appeared to be naturally crazy and not amping things up for filming.

Because in this case they specifically asked for comfort food and made an even more specific request for burgers and fries. They didn’t appear to need to be pushed and I doubt lamb sliders and stuffed shells pushed anyone out of their comfort zone. 

For lack of a better term I am a foodie who will try anything once and would most likely just give a chef free reign to do whatever he wanted with the guidelines of thinking locally for ingredients and flavor profiles, that being said I sometimes crave a burger and fries and if I ask for a burger and fries that is what I want delivered.

What in the world is a "Canadian valley girl?"  I thought valley girl only applied to So CA chicks that insert "like" and upspeak in every sentence.

Honestly, someone please explain for me.

 

Rhylee - ugh the attitude on that chick!  I can also be an assertive and aggressive chick at work too, but I don't talk back to my superiors that way.  SHUT UP!  You are bottom on the totem pole, don't question things and do your job!

[Mindthinkr]

You could read the disappointment on the guests faces when their “comfort food” had been reinterpreted. They’re just too polite to complain, but the only thing that they looked at with enthusiasm were the french fries. I would have been very impolite. I dislike lamb done most ways and would have sent mine back for a beef cheeseburger. If I want Mac and cheese I want ooey gooey, not fancified with the lobster being the predominant flavor. That meal was a fail. Kudos to them for not complaining. 

Sometimes I think Chef Unicorn gets a title too full of himself and his abilities. Gosh forbid a French trained chef do normal.

How is Chef Unicorn going to know he missed the mark if they don't speak up?  You don't have to be nasty about it but he needs to know.

And BTW, if you want a cheeseburger it's not a time to be expanding horizons. If you lived on cheeseburgers, we could talk.  But meeting an occasional craving does not signify a closed mind or palate.

LOL,  All the crap with Chandler and Caroline and "man overboard," and here I am losing it over a unicorn and a cheeseburger!

This discussion about the burgers seems to me to be the crux of the whole series. Balancing what guests prefer and what the crew wants. The preference sheet should be their bible. Instead chefs put onions in the food when they specifically were told that the primary hated them or when requesting simple burgers they get foodie tarted up bullshit. Who is in charge here? The guests or the crew? If you are paying all this money you should get what you want. Period.

[chenoa333]

Rhylee's mouth looks like she wears dentures. I'm sure she doesn't so maybe it's unfortunate genetics or bad veneers. And she's way too manly looking. I know lots of people think she's hot but I'm just saying.....she looks like she belongs in an olympic curling competition.

When Kate was on WWHL she stated she is "strictly dickly". What was that lesbian relationship all about that she had with some woman who visited Kate on the yacht a couple seasons ago? I think Kate may have been "bisexually confused."

It would have been SO much better if Bravo had not teased the "man overboard" clip at all.  They could have made a huge impact on the viewer if they had kept what exactly happened a secret and promoted it by hinting around the fact that something goes wrong and showing the clip with Capt. Lee getting choked up.  Instead they kept showing the clip and when it aired last night, we really didn't care the way we should.  When you add in the "to be continued" bullshit it makes it an epic production fail.  Imagine the view reaction if we had not been spoiled to death.  We would have broken the PTV site with our stunned reactions. :)

Seeing her fighting with Ross and then seeing her on WWHL, one of Rhylee's big problems is she has no manners.  Putting aside the hierarchy issues, it is very rude to interrupt people, talk over them, raise your voice for no reason, etc.  She is like a bad child: self-centered, self-important, rude, petulant when she doesn't get her way (Ashton).

She also seems to be someone for whom there is only two modes: fine or BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND.  She can't let it go or tolerate being mildly unhappy.  This is a common character trait on Bravo (Jeff Lewis, LeeAnn Locken, Brandi Glanville, Danielle Staub).

I've read that a better way to extract those truffle aromas is through infusing truffles in a neutral alcohol. Even the really good truffle oils, which might be truffle shavings and truffles that are too gnarly to be sold as is, often have to boost the flavors and aromas with synthetic truffle smells. Oil is not really good at extracting those truffle flavors and smells. But yeah, I saw him add truffle oil to the eggs too.

Those guests didn't strike me as super picky or limited eaters, though. They have enjoyed everything he's made them. I think they just had a craving. It happens sometimes, and he should have tried harder to honor it.
