S04.E08: What Eze the Problem?

[OnceSane]

Quote

Hannah and Joao have a miscommunication over a guest excursion; Anastasia is forced to prepare foods that go against her vegan lifestyle for charter guest, the "Queen of Versailles;" June continues to struggle to impress Hannah.

Airs July 22, 2019.

[biakbiak]

Against her vegan lifestyle as opposed to the steak, chicken, lamb and hamburgers we have seen her prepare without issue? I assume this is about the sea urchin and I won’t be surprised if the blurb people overstated it.

I think it might be killing something like a lobster. If the Queen wants the lobster displayed so they can choose I would think that would upset her. I know it always upsets me.

But then I am very sensitive.

They show it in the previews and it’s sea urchin but obviously something a guest or production planed because we see Jackie describe it as dirty diapers!

June isn’t the guest she is the new third stew.

[langford peel]

Oh right. Why does the third stew have to impress Hannah? Hannah always has a problem with the third stew. Except for Anastasia who was obviously a chef who was a plant as third stew.

[nytonc]

Only 4 minutes in and I can’t stand the new stew.  What is that wonky face she makes? 🥴

And I definitely hate people (like the “queen”) who have to tell everyone how much they spent on jewelry. The queen either needs new breast implants or a higher cut top. No one wants to look at those huge saggy mammaries!

Joao, just throat punch the lazy wanker. 

[pieinmyeye]

I’ve never been a Hannah fan, but I’ve been trying to give her the benefit of the doubt this season. She blew the hell out of any good will I may have had. When she rolled her eyes because the cutlery was left behind I wanted to smack her! Where, as chief stew, was she when they were ready to leave for the picnic? Changing into her bathing suit? It seems to me that ultimately, as chief stew, it was her responsibility to ensure nothing was forgotten. Sandy, you’re on my shit list too. She has to know Eze is not an easy climb, especially when you’re carrying all the accoutrements needed for a picnic. On top of that she let those staying behind have a play day under the guise of “training”. That would make for a great team building exercise if half of them weren’t setting up a picnic. They were both arseholes IMHO.

Jack has gone past the annoying but good tv threshold for me, he’s now in the making me angry phase.  

Ok, new stew has to be preggers right?  Food issues, napping, overly emotional.   Then again, she got lost in a sheet and was confused by her necklaces so maybe she’s just a total weird moron.

I sort of want to mute Aesha every time she talks. The sInG sOnG vooooooooice is making me nuts.

[chewycandy]

I just love Colin. Such a cutie. 

[tranquilidade]

I have to say  my heart breaks for the queen.  I don't care what her flaws may be but losing a  child.....I have no words just sympathy.  I criticized her but on this, omg it was sad.

It feels like she is pregnant and maybe telling the boyfriend didn't go over so well.  But on the other hand it seems like that would be something that would have been sniffed out by someone already and reported on.

She also didn't seem to be able to complete thoughts in her talking heads.  She was just petering out halfway through the excuses she was making.

[tranquilidade]

I think she is pregnant.  She did not induce throwing up so eating disorder is out

[spunky]

Jack is a prime example of why we millennials are seen as entitled and lazy. He doesn’t want to do anything, then becomes upset when Joao becomes frustrated with him. I don’t know what Aesha sees in that man-child. Captain Sandy had me confused this episode, first she allows the laziest crew to play with the water toys while everyone else is working their butts off, then proceeds to basically dismiss João’s concerns about Jack. Travis is a tool just like his little super hero Jack. Who tells their coworkers who are running on fumes how much fun they had by not working unless they’re trying to be petty? Hannah it’s none of your business if June has a boyfriend or not! Stop being messy!

Hannah is completely responsible for the Eze debacle.  She made the plans.  She should have made sure they had everything they needed including more stews and/or deckhands.  Hannah seems to conveniently bow out of these shore excursions.  

Jack has got to go.  The new stew, June, seems fine.  I felt terrible when Aesha was crying, she is always so up.

Captain Sandy has me confused every episode.  I can't decide if she is camp counselor of the boat or overly eager to push production's agenda.

Have they ever done an excursion where half the crew goes on shore and the other half plays with the toys while they are gone before?  That felt like they were trying to pit Joao and Hannah against each other as well as get Joao to blow up at Jack and Travis.

Then Joao goes to Sandy about what is going on with the deck and she brushes him off with something vague and unhelpful while making it clear that she's not interested in hearing details.

I tend to think that Sandy is helping production to poke at the stressors because they weren't expecting Joao to be able to avoid the drama as much as he has been.

[dosodog]

If this weren't a tv show, I'm pretty sure Jack would be fired.  And co-workers would be grumbling about sharing the tip.

 

[breezy424]

I can't stand Jack.

What the heck is going on with June?

That's all I got.

[ParadoxLost]

Jack is more than just aggressively lazy.

Jack's refusal to put his shoes on because he was told to points to a whole other set of issues with him.  

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Why does June's face look so tight that it looks like it's painful for her to talk? 

[biakbiak]

I am shocked, shocked I tell you that the blurb overstated Anastasia’s issue with preparing the sea urchin! 

I really wish Jack had stepped in glass or shit when he was walking around on shore without his shoes.

June if turning down the beds was self explanatory than why did you act surprised that you were supposed to turn down the beds!

I get life has to go on but what is with these BD people who go on a reality show a few weeks after someone close to them has passed!

I wanted to take a baseball bat to that pos. Everything out of his mouth is just a never ending stream of taunting bullshit chain yanking excuses. Hope any future potential employer sees his antics and he never finds another job above cleaning toilets in a bus station. 

If Joao 'accidentally' ran over him with the tender and ripped him to shreds with the prop, give him carte blanche for life, lol

I’m starting to feel that way too. Poor man thought he was coming to his mentor and boss for advise, and got brushed off with some nonexistent advice and a  fake “I support you”. I feel as though production tried their hardest this episode by having Travis rub their fun and games in his face, making him and Colin climb to the top of Eze and then have a Jack be Jack so he could piss him off.

Hannah doesn't manage the deck crew.  She sent 2/3rds of her interior staff.  Why Joao decided only he & colin would go, leaving both Jack & Travis on the boat is on him.

Hannah has check lists for picnics.  They were using those check lists to pack for the picnic,  They stupidly pulled then forgot to pack the cutlery. I'd of rolled my eyes too. 

Why Hannah is blamed for everything on the boat is beyond me.  She's been blamed for going on guest excursions now she's blamed for staying behind.  

As for the "training day".  No one knew until Captain Sandy announced it.  Stupid idea, IMO, as it can only lead to rifts within the crew ranks.  I think Sandy enjoys causing drama and playing favorites.

Wasn't there a scene last week where she is going over with Aesha what was needed and cutlery was one of the items? (Did not watch the repeat so it might have been Aesha and June)  If so, that is enough for me.  If my boss was following me around asking me if I packed everything in our checklist, it would not go over well (although I would've double checked).  It ended up being such a stupid "cliffhanger" since the entire viewing audience and Aesha were like "Ok, just ask a restaurant."  And I'm no Hannah fan, but I can't blame her for this one.  

I am a diehard  Kate fan though and she frequently says she hates beach picnics and passes them on to the other stews.  That is one of the perks of leadership though, just like any job, along with more responsiblity.  I read Kate's book and she talks about her days of being third stew and paying her dues.

I'm not sure if June is pregnant-she got the same drink everyone else did when they went out-I watched durng the toast-and I'm not sure how a server could've verified hers was the virgin cocktail on the tray.  But I also don't think I saw her drink, so maybe it was a cover.  However, I have heard the most insane speculation (or probably wishful thinking) and I'll put it in a spoiler tag:

Spoiler

June is dating Conrad.

[Mindthinkr]

I think that June’s work ethic is up there around Jacks. Something is off with her, but I can’t put my finger on it. The above spoiler...just wow. 

I think Joao should have been more upfront with Sandy re: Jack. His refusal to wear shoes was insubordination. 

Aesha is too loud for me. I can’t imagine what her and Jacks date is going to be like, but if they get it on it’s going to be loud. Hope he likes kinky. 

Colin needs a break. A pretty girl or something. He is too nice, a hard worker and rarely gets rewarded. Let the good guy win for once.

Yes, Hannah specifically asked her when they were in the kitchen if they had packed it and she said yes. To be fair to Aesha she and June talked about the cutlery as June was putting it in the plastic bag so she assumed that she had gone the extra step and put it in the bag!

I don't put it past the producers to remove it to cause some huge problem.  Try harder producers-Aesha seems to roll with the punches!  I adore her and her easygoing attitude-I wish I could be more like that.  I would still be mad at Jaoa for turning into Rev Shaw Moore and shaming me for dancing!
