Kate deals with Laura's insubordination; Ross is at his wits' end with Rhylee's attitude; a charter guest pursues Adrian romantically; Ashton leads the crew in a musical performance for the guests; Rhylee's feelings for Tyler grow stronger.

Has anyone her actually bought Core water? During the last hurricane I was given some. No different taste. Didn’t notice the “extra” electrolytes.

I’m not surprised to see Rylee and Laura getting along. Neither one of them knows the meaning of the word respect.

[Reality police]

Laura has been to the Kate school of hair dressing. When her hair was partially up in the first part of the show it was awful. Looked like she had made her part with a rake. Why can't these girls comb their hair?

[laprin]

Ashton, Laura is not worth the grief.

Rhylee giving Laura advice was a WTF moment. 

For a minute, I felt like I was watching something on Cinemax - over the sex scenes with Tyler and Rhylee.  They like sleeping together. We get it. 

[langford peel]

So they were banging on camera?

That’s one way to get people to respect you Rhylee.

Adrian’s hair doesn’t look like he uses a comb either. Rhylee is absolutely exhausting to deal with, but her hair usually looks nice.

[howiveaddict]

I can see how everyone's hair would look like crap, blowing in the sea breeze all the time.  I know mine would.   You'd have to use a ton of product to keep it from moving.   My Grandmother used to go to Florida for vacation. She was a weekly hair style at salon type person.  When she would come home from the trip, her hair would always look like she had been sick in bed , for a month. The salt air and wind plays havoc.

[PaperTree]

Rhylee should have sex a few times daily.  Seems it's the only thing that checks her craziness.

Laura has a very warped view of the world around her.

I didn't like the Mafia crap - again.  I don't get why they would air this.  It's offensive.

Same here.  I didn't see any reason for them to believe the guests were in the mob.  Wearing all black?  Hell then I'm a hitwoman.  Or The Godmother.

I'm no prude but I'm a bit shocked that Bravo airs those Rhylee sex shots.  I mean, good for her that she's getting some, but I don't really need to see it happening.

[langford peel]

I wonder if Tyler will tell the boys that when he dropped anchor it was three shots?

[breezy424]

Rylee and Laura both need to get some maturity.  Neither one of you are all that.  And both of you need anger management classes.  And...if you want respect, then earn it.

That's all I got. 

[VagueDisclaimer]

The most frustrating thing is that underneath the tantrums and the disrespect, I do think that Rhylee is being underutilized and I also think there’s an element of bromanship affecting her role. Unfortunately, her mouth just won’t quit. She fights and fights and is rude and disrespectful as all get out. She had that moment of maturity after speaking to Kate, but it felt very much like too little, too late, and Ross just wants to get through these last two charters with minimal screaming and back talk. 

Speaking of back talk, Laura has been there for 5 minutes, when was this public abuse that Kate  apparently reigned down upon her? I’m glad the checklists are in use and hopefully that it’ll keep things as minimal as possible, as Laura cane on with an agenda and just itching for a fight. It should be clue #1 that you’re in the wrong when Rhylee is applauding how Laura treated her boss. I always hope these are just TV personalities, because otherwise, i’ve no idea how some of these people have ever held down a job.

I think its just a look at "below deck". I can't imagine any crew that does not make jokes about their clients. Its just human nature. And thats what happens below the deck. Sometimes you are caught on camera and sometimes you are not.

[Mondrianyone]

Leave it to the Below Deck casting people to find the one rude Canadian in existence.  Oy Canada.

[biakbiak]

So when talking to Rhylee Laura basically acknowledged she didn’t do her job at all during turndown. I know they won’t but I really wish the dudes would acknowledge how out of line Laura was in her fight with Kate:

Nah, she wouldn't get any work done. Give her a vibrator and hand Ross the remote controll then zapp her when she gets out of line.

[langford peel]

When Tyler slapped Rhylee on the ass it brought back lots of memories.

I remember when Little Joe used to do that to his Pinto when he was finished riding on the Pondeosa.

You can add professionalism or self-control. And not coincidentally, Rhylee finally has an adult professional conversation with Ross after talking with Kate. I also think it's interesting that Laura never disputed that she did leave the towels on the floor after weeks of speculation by viewers that it was production shenanigans.

I'm adding Rhylee and Laura to the crew of the damned.

I don't think we've ever seen anyone who is as bromosexual as Ross is.

I haven’t, but, last week, I was at a Big Lots location that was closing and they had it. It was amongst a pile of other unsold junk, which made me laugh (and take a picture).

[ivygirl]

I suddenly find myself wanting a bottle of Core Water! I wonder why that is.

If Ross were treating me the way he treated Rhylee, I’d be PISSED. He doesn’t understand that part of why she’s giving him so much attitude is that he’s being a quintessential douchebro. I’m not excusing her attitude, but it’s like the more obnoxious she gets, the more he doubles down on the bro-ishness. He has zero insight into how he comes across, giving her all the cleaning tasks and then doubting her ability to handle herself. (Kate was great with her, BTW.)

I’m tired of hearing how much the guest is into Adrian... from Adrian. I didn’t realize that unicorns could pat themselves on the back so easily. You’re not all that, dude. My guess is that the husband is 100% aware of the way his wife is.

And finally, Laura. She’s clearly the type of girl who runs around and tells evvvvvvveryone how put upon she is.

 

Don’t be sore-y not sore-y. CHECKLIST YOURSELF!

[SuprSuprElevated]

Regarding Laura, isn't she at least the 2nd "chief stew" that has accepted the position of 3rd stew, presumably to get her big chance at being on teevee?  She needs to just stfu, work the list, hit the sack, repeat.

Regarding Rhylee, that she appears to be a capable deckhand is far, far, far overshadowed by her frightening trigger finger.  She has all the earmarks of someone you see on the nightly news, after the murder-suicide.

I agree that the level of disrespect thrown at the 'guests' of Below Deck's charters leads me to believe that they are probably aware that they will be getting an unfavorable edit.  Otherwise, it would seem like we would hear a lot more from them, at least on social media.

mmv

[bosawks]

If I was the manager of Rhylee and she wanted more work I’d be giving her every exhausting job I thought she could handle just to tire her out.

I don’t  get Ross.

I don't know if we've ever seen a chief stew work as a 3rd stew. Amy might have been one. I'm speculating just because she was just so good at her job that I assume that she must have been a chief stew on a previous ship. We have seen chief stews take the 2nd stew position and complain, most notably Bugsy from BD: Med.

[ghoulina]

I'm probably an evil person, but I lived for Kate walking all slow while Laura was behind her, carrying something. 

Laura is just so extra. I have zero sympathy for her. She flips out on Kate, with guests nearby, then stomps off like SHE'S the victim. And she has the nerve to posit that maybe KATE could have just done the towels herself. Bahaha, girl. No. That's the entire point of giving you turndown; to free Kate up for other things. The fact that she needs a list to help her complete her chores tells me she was never a chief stew....not one of worth anyway. 

And her behavior with Ashton was ridiculous. He was actually TRYING to stay by her side and not carouse it up, when they first went out. But she decided to brush him off,  based solely on the WORD of the guy she wouldn't hook up with, so Ashton goes and dances elsewhere. And somehow HE'S the bad guy?

That girl just looks for perceived slights everywhere. I can't stand her.

And Adrian is definitely trying to stir things up. He's a stealth bitch. But I did feel for him a bit during that awkward kitchen moment with the charter guest. Yikes. 

 

Rhylee is another one who always thinks everyone is against her. I,thought it was interesting that Ross was easily able to point out why the jobs she's given are more important. 

Also, she has been incredibly toxic, so I wouldn't blame him for giving her a lot of tasks where she's kind of off by herself. Girl does not play well with others.

 

Overall, these guests were pretty good. A bit on the boring side, but very polite and appreciative. I thought Ashton put a lot of effort into planning that dance and it paid off. Everyone had a blast.

Then I'm evil, too! I laughed out loud when Kate did that, and I just KNEW that whiner Laura would have to pipe up and say something.

I do the same thing to people who are on my heels (while pushing carts) at the grocery store. I slow down a little and make them go around. It started as a therapy exercise (I used to feel that I had to get out of everyone's way) and later became a lifestyle choice for me.

[melkel14]

Laura asking why Kate went behind her and checked her work shows that she's really never been a chief stew-  ANY manager would do that with a new employee to make sure they knew what they were doing.  Kate's not stupid and going to blindly trust someone she just met.

Party of two on that one. Kate seems to be playing the Laura stuff pretty well, maybe learning from the evicting-Caroline-with-music moment that there are better and quieter ways to tell someone to fuck off, and to sit back on her heels and let Laura look like a moron during these fights she keeps picking. She's not really engaging, which is the best choice on a bunch of different fronts: it's going to piss Laura off even more, Lee can't really take her to task for it, and she has to know that unless the editors get really creative that she's going to "win" on the show too that way.  

She was reading her phone during that slowest walk of all time, so she had an excuse at the ready should she need it, plus Laura was carrying a half-full case of Core water bottles. Kate made both the sponsors and me positively giddy.

[SweetieDarling]

I love  how the crew turned "check yourself" into a running joke.

[esco1822]

I love the hypocrisy of Laura yelling at Kate and then imploring that there are other ways to talk to people than being a dick about things they did wrong. Laura was completely unprofessional in that moment and Kate handled it brilliantly. I also laughed at her deliberately taking her time on the stairs. She was probably directed to do that so we could stare at all the bottles of Core a little longer. 

[dleighg]

Laura: "I admit I've been messing up on my turndowns.  But it's really hard to stay motivated when you're being treated in such a way."

An excuse for everything. I can't stand people like that. It's in the category of the non-apology "I'm sorry if anyone feels offended by what I said."

Yes ! it could be a real apology if, after that, "you" (a "generic you, not "you" DLEIGH, lol") add : "... And I never and ever intended to imply that (what x, y or z understood), and I perfectly understand why you're offended by it, because I would have been too ! I'm so sorry ! That was never my intention. What I tried to say was [reformulate your thinking adequately].

And... Problem solved ! :) )(it works for me, anyway, because, yes, you can be perfectly clear in your head, but you're not in the head of the other person :))

Yup. The fresh start with Ross would have been a great time to approach him and say "You know, Ross, I think I've proven I can do all the basic deck work, but what I'd really love to learn while I have this yachting opportunity is working the anchor/docking/x.y.z.  I'd love to watch a couple up close and then take it on for a charter or two so you have somebody else on board you can call on who's fully trained and can pitch in if needed."

Her grievances were legitimate with Bosun #1, but I think Ross would have responded positively to direct, businesslike requests for more training/advancement. Instead, she sabotaged herself, leading to him commiserating with the bros.  Not a fan of the bro stuff in general, but like Kate and Josiah, most people would rather be around people who are a) competent; b) not a massive drag/energy suck. Ross thinks of her as competent, but he isolates her because of her attitude.

[tvfanatic13]

The trip up the stairs is why I can't quit Kate. Laura and Rhylee both suck. And yes to the poster upthread who said that Ashton tried to get close to Laura at the bar and she pushed him away. The audacity of complaining after. 

[lcarolynl]

Ross frustrated me this episode. After talking to Kate, Rhylee humbled herself and gave him vulnerability and he responded with justifications for why he would continue to keep her cleaning up other than learning and growing as a crew mate.

I think she really tried to communicate her professional goals to him (I'm unsure how well she explained that she seeked professional growth from the clip, but we viewers understood what she was trying to say) but he wasn't interested in changing anything, I'm not sure he "heard" her at all.

I was pretty impressed with how chill Ashton was talking to Laura after their night out, even when he was so incredibly drunk. She was unable to articulate why she was unhappy, denying her feelings. I get that it's stupid to talk to a drunk person but he seemed like he wanted to understand, smooth everything over, and listen. She just couldn't/wouldn't talk to him.

Adrian is happy to share his inappropriate sexual feelings and thoughts for anyone and everyone but when he's the recipient? Now he's walked a bit in the shoes of those around him when he's dishing out the sexual talk. It's not fun, funny, or flattering is it? Check yourself Aidrian!

Except she isn’t just cleaning. The thing that got her all huffy to start with is that Ross wanted her manning the controls for the winch to get the water toys in. Rhylee seems to think that the only jobs that are worth respect are the ones that require brute strength. She is the one who is putting no value on the jobs she is given not Ross.

I disagree. I think she wants to learn about how to set up the slide (which requires a lot of physical strength) and the anchor and possibly more. When Ross asks if Tyler knew how to work the anchor and Tyler said he'd like to learn, Rhylee realized she'd never been asked that question. I think that's what got her all huffy (which I think is a generous description from you) this time. It took a talk with Kate for her to figure out what she really wanted and how to communicate that to Ross, except I'm still not sure how well she communicated her desire to learn and grow professionally.
I'm hoping that if Ross truly understood that she wanted to walk away from the ship with more than just money in her pocket, with a greater skill set, he would find a way to add to her duties/skills. He would realize he needs to teach her as well as use her for what she can already do.

We haven’t seen her denied any of these things and she hasn’t vocalized any of that. Not to mention this episode when she got pissed off it was in the middle of an incoming storm which is not the time for anyone to be learning anything and is when speed and efficiency are important and why Ross stated he put her in charge of the beach club area  because he couldn’t trust Tyler to know where things go. 

And when you add on the fact that Rhylee doesn’t respect the chain of command and argues/talks back in the middle of tasks she is the one sabotaging herself from getting to do higher level shit that Ross needs to know will be accomplished as he wants them without back talk.

Only thing I got out of this episode is that Canadians pronounce more words weirdly than just "aboot."

There was "soorree" and one other.
