I did some yard work late this afternoon, came inside and literally was knocked out cold before I knew it. I woke up when the TV changed the channel to tape WWHL so I am going to just touch on the highlights as I am still asleep. Warning: this blog was typed in my sleep.
Someone asked why they complain so much about their job in customer service, isn’t that what they are there for? Kate says she wants to know what the questioners job is because she is sure everyone has complaints about their job at some point. Well, Katherine, there is a difference between “at some point” and every breathing waking moment.
Andy asked about the strangest thing that happened. Kat start talking about the guest’s crotchless panties. Andy says when you saw that on TV were you a bit embarrassed that the guests were going to see that? Kat said don’t ask me to unpack your suitcase if you don’t want me to see them. Hey Kat, unpacking for the guests is part of your job and doing it professionally is also part of your job. Holding up people’s clothes to the camera and making Forever 21 jokes is not the expectation. Kate says “”they asked for it.” Kat says, “I mean I could have tried them on, I could have made it a lot worse.” These people can’t be serious.
Captain Lee says he got a tweet from the Jersey group and they want to come back next season. I’m guessing they might have a couple changes to the group, like Uncle Vito might show up so you can all sleep with the fishes.
Time for the Kat dick sucking storyline. Kat tries to deny that she gave the guy a blow job. She apologizes to Amy “if she did it.” Amy says the guy in question contacted her on social media. He was shocked that something so long ago would come up on the show.
BTW, Andy is mostly reading viewer questions as he does when he doesn’t want the blame for asking the hard questions. Kate is asked about name dropping Leo Decaprio. She says she said it once and that’s an exciting part of the job. Which part is exciting? Discussing what is likely an imaginary memory or ridiculing current guests on national television?
Time to talk about Andrew. Captain Lee doesn’t look happy to be there. Andrew said he has since worked on a private charter. Andy says he heard he got thrown off that charter too. Andrew says that he read that blog too but it was not true.
Kate and penis gate. Captain Lee laughs and laughs through the whole segment. Kate continues to lie and deny. Andy brings up some of the comments the viewers have about her. Kate says it drives her crazy because guest relations has always been her strength. This reminds me of Teresa saying she never went below the belt in six season of RHONJ. Or perhaps more like Kristen on Vanderpump rules saying her best quality is her loyalty. Do people like this really believe what they are saying? Kat says Kate is respectful to her crew. I bet Amy has a different take on that. I’m not sure Kat knows what respectful means. Kat fails to mention that Adrienne, the person she is bringing up on national TV once again and calling the devil gave her a job on a charter after the show. Kat says just because the guests are happy with the way that Kate is resting her face doesn’t make her a bad person or a bad person to work with. Well, not Kat, it’s sort of a collection of her bitchy face, her bitchy attitude and her just being a bitch in general.
Jennice and Kelley’s romance montage rolls. Kelley claims he wanted to continue the relationship on land. Jennice mentions Kelley not picking her up from the airport when he said he would. Kelley says she disappeared for five days. Jennice says he wasn’t treating her properly. They sort of broke up without talking it out and this is the first time they have spoken. Jennice said that Kelley did hurt her and has done things since the show aired that she does not understand. Jennice said they had a large following on Twitter and then things got ugly and when people would make negative comments he would favorite them and retweet them. Kelley points out that people on Twitter were saying Jennice is too ugly for him. Really, Kelley? You are such a douchebag. Apparently, Kelley decided to try to change the public opinion of him by sending out his dic pics onto the Internet. Kelley responded to the ugly comments by saying, “there is a lot more to her than just looks.” Most of the men in the room are astonished by his comments. Kelley tries to blame Kate and Jennice for spreading his “leaked” (didn’t he already admit to posting them himself?) dic pics around. Oh it’s time for Amy to defend Kelley. Amy says the Jennice and Kelley had a “deep connection” (and we all saw exactly how deep when we saw the dic pic) and they are having a hard time (heh) dealing with it because they haven’t had a chance to talk. Ben’s attempt not to roll his eyes results in some sort of full body spasm that relates the same feeling. Somehow these two hug it out at the end. They have both moved into other relationships.
Captain Lee talks about all the whining. He says he would work with all of them again. He would like to see Kelley step up a bit more. Captain Lee says that Kat made huge strides on the second season. Kat says she changed her behavior for the better. Captain Lee says he thinks Kate is a better chief stew than Adrienne. Something about getting into a battle of wits with someone who is unarmed.
Time to discuss Kate and Kat being cuntsicles to Amy. Kate is asked if she realizes that the only reason you dislike Amy is because she is better at her job than you are. Kate says she definitely does not agree. LOL. Of course you don’t dear. Kate says she doesn’t like when someone who works for her turns on her and is insubordinate and instead of looking for solutions, casts blame. I just can’t get over that there are so many people like this on Bravo. Do they tell them that they have to look like sociopathic windbags in order to get paid? Do they say, no matter what you do don’t take any responsibility for your actions and cast blame and then accuse the wronged party of doing exactly that? I get these shows are far from reality, but is Kate really this good at acting like a sociopath? Kate defends the fact that she and Kat had a scallop dinner on the beach with Logan during their shift leaving Amy to do everything. She tries to frame this as doing Amy a favor. Because she has some sort of mental imbalance. Someone asks Kate if after watching the season she could see how rude she was to Amy on several occasions. Kate says, “No.” Lie, Lie, Lie, deny til you die.
Logan and Amy might have hooked up had Kelley not squashed that idea. We revisiting to saga of Kelley and Amy. They point out that their parents have both turned their life around. Kelley credits the Marines with turning his life around. Kelley cries. Because, Kelley.
Kat and Ben’s jizz pillow story is being denied again. Kat claims that she still has her same boyfriend. I am not sure if the sea-horse pillow was a production storyline or a real thing. I really don’t care either way. The whole show is so overly orchestrated at this point, that one scene doesn’t really make much difference. Ben says he is currently single.
Ben supposedly had sex with both Kate and Kat, allegedly at separate times.
Andy talks about how much he likes the show because “they take what they do seriously.” What? Is it me?
I’m out for season three.
I’m out for season three as well.
You had me at ‘dick pics’.
I’m disappointed TT, where is the link to the alleged ‘dic pics’? How do we know they are real? The important questions must be asked! 😉
On a serious note this just started airing in Australia, so I shouldn’t bother watching? Is Kelly hot enough to keep me hooked?
don’t bother…
Kelley cries a lot. I’d send you the dick pic but I didn’t keep it. It was a fairly nice dick. But he’s kind of a pussy… so it’s a wash.
It’s up to you. The cast is extremely abusive to the paying guests. I’ve heard from several of them that are upset by their treatment. They legit paid substantially for the cruise. It just made it not fun for me to watch. YMMV.

Advice taken! 🙂
Michael – Just Google “Kelley Johnson Below Deck”. You’ll find it.
Google Kelley Below Deck Naked…. Wait. On second thought….
Thank you for the excellent recap. Now I can delete it from my DVR!
They still get the ad revenue!! 🙂
This season was horrible and I’m glad it’s over. Ben is a skank if he slept with Kate and Kat, even if it was at different times. Kate and Kat seem to be bffs, so sharing Ben is just another thing for them to bond over. Captain Lee should have addressed Ben and Kat using the stateroom and Kate’s blatant lying to his face. We all knew the Kelley and Jennice situation would not work once they got on land. Captain Lee leered at Kelley the entire show and he should have just let Kelley have it. He also said he would not work with Adrienne again, but he has no problem working with this crew and he feels Kat has come a long way. PuhLEEEze!!! I would have had more respect for Captain Lee if he would have used the reunion as an opportunity to address the unprofessional-fireable behavior from the crew. When they return for season three, there should be an entirely new crew including Captain Lee. The deckhands and Amy worked hard and will probably easily find work on other yachts. Ben has service timing issues, so guest may be less likely to deal with his shenanigans in the future. Kate and Kat should leave the industry because neither one of them understand what it means to provide luxury service to wealthy clientele. Kate should go back to being, “the Paris Hilton of (her) little town”, because she is better suited for that job.
Captain Lee did address Kate lying to his face. He said she was a great chief stew and much better than Adrienne.
That was all I needed to hear.

TT,
That FLOORED me! I lost all respect for Captain Lee. Kate must have been banging him. How in the hell can he think she was a better stew than Adrienne? That comment sealed my fate with the show…. done.
Yeah I loved the Captain. Not anymore!
My brother’s ex-wife is so much like Kate. Her mother had 11 or 12 kids and kicked her out at fourteen. The mom was married six, seven, eight times, who knows. The mom was a mentally ill nightmare. The ex wife is a recurring drug addict and prosititute when necessary. And yes like what DJ below says they will do knee work in desperate circumstances. Unless Kate was born with this ‘condition’ then she may have been through some serious shit in her childhood. But the fact remains you can’t do anything with folks like that but swerve to the left or right when you see them coming. My brother is trying like hell to get custody of his child with this woman before she completely ruins her. My mother is a sociopath so that is where both my brothers learned to attract them. My youngest brother hasn’t divorced his sociopath yet. Unfortunately they have two adorable children so there will be collateral damage. Captain Lee deserves Kate, after all the backstabbing of Adrienne. He will eventually regret his association with her, but it will be too late by then. Since Adrienne is a genuine person she doesn’t get what all sociopaths understand, that people do not like negative emotions. And what else was she supposed to be feeling, dealing with Kat and Steve or whatever that weirdo’s boy name was. By the way that one has a gofundme online trying to get money to get a plane ticket somewhere. What a weirdo…where is her money going? Anyhow, it was a painful reunion to watch, I eventually watched a replay though I said I wouldn’t. The highlight of the season has to be Amy’s refusal to take shit off of Kate and the clip where she holds her feet to the fire and makes her admit she was unprofessional. Good thing the cameras were there, in real life, which Amy will have to learn, Kate would have fired her for some trumped up b.s. eventually. One other characteristic of sociopaths and npd people is that they run through people and cannot maintain relationships so that more than anything else explains the mystery of why Kate doesn’t get a job making a lot more money. In a workaday job where you work with the same people day in and day out eventually everyone is going to be onto who and what you are. I mean it’s pretty sad for Kate that people pick up on her bitchyness and negative, sour attitude just as charter guests for a few days. She apparently has no choice but to work in an industry like this. I could, if I thought about it, feel sorry for her, but only from a distance, whenever I come in range of these types I always get obliterated because I am kind of like Adrienne, wearing my emotions on the surface. Adrienne certainly didn’t deserve the bullshit she got from Capt. Lee. Screw him. Oops I wrote a book…for some reason this year I have had to avoid this show and work up to watching the episodes. I definitely won’t be watching if *she comes back…I cant think of a more negative feeling than her persona, kind of like watching the toilet flush.
EDITED: Please read commenting rules.
Re: Kat having com a long way. Yeah, that was weird. So she doesn’t get AS wasted as before. No compliment there.
Word.
To me it was a total slobberfest of Andy over Kelly. I find Kelly unattractive, immature and ignorant.
What?? You won’t recap next season?? I just started watching this season! Did I miss the glory days?? 🙁 I’m not sure I even like it. But I’m watching it anyway, so that’s Bravo for ya!
So, Kelley – I only hate him more from this reunion. Couldn’t you have just googled the target market of Bravo as a network and realized your best bet is making mid 20s to early 60s women like you? By maybe not being a huge asshole who pursues a woman relentlessly and then emotionally abandons and publicly shames her as soon as she gives in and fucks you? And then subsequently embarrasses you on social media? And then again on TV?
On a nicer note, I teared up during the Kelley and Amy segment. I hate Kelley (above), but my siblings and I had a rough mutual upbringing and also struggled with “fuck you for abandoning me” – my older sister and I hashed it out in a pub in South Africa a few years back, and my younger brother and me will do it in a future bar somewhere – but that forgiveness moment is big in relationships like that. Does that sound crazy? Yes. I’ve had a few glasses of box wine pinot grigios, which makes me feel better about the fact that I got emotional about a Below Deck reunion. Nope, now I typed it and want to die.
No, it doesn’t sound crazy. Don’t feel embarrassed, it hit home. 🙂
Whaaaaa? So much worse has been shared here. That was not an overshare, nor was it stupid, embarrassing, or anything to be ashamed of. When you see sincerity (or not, even!) and you identify emotionally–these are the (few) redeeming parts of “reality TV”. (That and the mindless brain numbing effect.)
Now, if you start sticking up for Kelly: we’re gonna have problems!
Captain Lee you’ve had a long career, it’s shocking you would be involved with (some) of these crew members…you look so uncomfortable sitting up there on that show, it was like you really didn’t want to be there…wow…do you have to be on TV so badly that you’re willing to show the world that you’ve aligned yourself with these people?…a (real) crew on a boat are no way near as horrible as (some) of these people…
Eddie is cool and good at his job…Ben is OK, charming at times but he and Kat hooking up, yuck, same if he hooked up with Kate…Logan is good at his job but he has a really creep grin and laugh…Kate is efficient at her job however she has a nasty, horrible, personality, she actually said, “Lie till you die, deny, deny, deny.” …Kat, yuck!…Andrew, so weird…Amy is weird, she runs her mouth too much, good stew though…
Kelly is such a manipulative creep…I was hoping it was just a plot line he and Jannice were in on but clearly it was for real…sad for her, I wish she had stuck to her guns and kept away from him , he never had a bit of interest in her…clearly…all in all the concept of the show I love but not (most) of this crew.
OH, and when Andy asked who would work with Andrew again and 75% of them said yes they would, I was like Bull Crap, there’s no way they would want to be around Andrew again. The ones that said they would are so fake! As soon as Andrew’s segment was over during the commercial production scooped up him and his chair and he was out of there.
I’d probably watch the first one or two episodes; enough episodes until the first cruise group arrived, gave its tip, left, Capt. called a crew meeting, etc.
If Captain Lee and Eddie were the only to return to lead a new crew, I might watch a couple more episodes to determine if its worthwhile viewing.
I really wish these people would either
stop mentioning Adrienne altogether
or at least stop slamming her every chance they get! I liked Adrienne. I think
that Kat and Horse face Sam sabotaged
her career on that boat. She was a little
Intimidated by Sam and they used that
Insecurity to really fuck with her. They
showed her no respect at all. I don’t give
a shit whether they AGREED with what she asked of them SHE was their BOSS!
I agree. Adrienne may not have had expertise in certain areas, but she did not rag on all the guest as if they were below her. She chose to come back on the show as a guest and should have been treated like one. Although she surely had an agenda to get back at Kat, she is not the devil, and do not see why Kate, Ben, and Eddie reacted to her as such. Her behavior on the charter could have been better, but she did not insult the other crew members. For some reason, no matter what, Kat can always get a pass for her bad behavior and treatment of others, but Adrienne cannot get a crumb of empathy. Go figure……..
Yeah, Adrienne’s glaring inability to mastermind a pirate scavenger hunt was really reason to trash her Chief Stew skills. She was bullied, harassed, and completely ignored by her subordinates, and took it with grace (and without any support from the others, like the deck crew, boson, etc.)
Leave her alone! Or let her whip those whiney bitches into shape!!!
I think Jennice is very pretty, and she is a natural looking woman without fake tarantula eye lashes & lip injections. I couldn’t believe how ungentlemanly Kelly was about her on twitter. Why do people do such douchey things on twitter. Don’t they realize that it is a PUBLIC display of your activity, thoughts, & replies….SMDH.
Kelley is a member of the 4 F club. Find ’em, Feel ’em, Fuck’em, and Forger ’em. Jennice is a lovely young lady. Kelley chased her.
Kelly somehow missed everything on Twitter talking about what a douchebag/crybaby he was.
So, the New Jersey group emailed Captain Lee and said they would book for season 3? Was that before or after their episode aired? Captain Lee, in case you don’t know, some people don’t care how much they are demeaned as long as they are on TV, it’s all good. (Ask the Housewives 🙂 ) It does not mean you and your crew did a professional job!
TT on your comments about sociopaths on Bravo, I have recently educated myself on narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) after realizing a family member has it, and it’s amazing how many people on Bravo have it! All these people like Tamra and Teresa G. who screw people over constantly but never admit they did anything wrong or could have handled a situation better, it blows my mind that so many people can lead reasonably successful lives acting that way and never/rarely being held accountable!!! It makes sense that there are so many people with NPD on Bravo, though – these shows make them look SO HORRIBLE, they would only keep going with it if they convinced themselves they never do anything wrong and everyone thinks they’re amazing. This is why it scares me so much that so many people fall for it, like Teresa getting favorite NJ housewife by a landslide on the WWHL poll. Although it is slim pickings…
I’m guessing Kelley thinks that his crying is endearing to women. Uck, what a big baby. #havesomebackbone #havesomepride
I said this same thing in twitter and one of his crazy followers started calling me a bully. Followed by attacking my age and my lack of twitter followers. All I said was that he used tears to get what he wants and she said I was “personally attacking him”. What a nut. It takes a special kind of crazy to take up for a man like Kelley.
Wow. People really do get crazy on Twitter.
People who ask why are they complaining has clearly never worked in the customer service industry. It is an ungrateful job and moaning about it is one of the unwritten pleasures! Haha! That is how you destress. Bitch and moan,then move on.
I think pretty much everyone has worked in the service industry from time to time. In fact, there is a service component to every profession. You certainly don’t begin belittling your client from the moment you see then coming down the pier mocking their attire, and style or lack thereof. You don’t give them one product and claim it is another. You don’t go through their personal items and wave them about on national television. You do not bad mouth clients within earshot of anyone let alone the clients themselves. You do not make phallic symbols and leave it in their personal space to make your feelings about them abundantly clear. You don’t look into a TV camera and insult some that you know will see it and who has tipped you quite nicely. You don’t bitch and moan and have a resting bitch face while serving. You don’t take off in the middle of your shift and have a scallop dinner on the beach leaving your other coworker to do the job of three people.
They are certainly not in a miserable situation, they are on a yacht sailing the Caribbean where they have every third day or so off to enjoy the area. They are tipped at 10-15% of the cost of the yacht rental for their service. They clients if not constantly insulted are enjoying a vacation and not surely and unappreciative.
You seem like someone who should NOT be in the customer service industry. You see it works best for those who give a shit about their customers.
I was a waitress at Applebee’s for five years as I worked my way through college and for awhile afterward. And yes, we bitched and moaned about bad tippers, rude customers, babies throwing things, the managers, the line cooks, the awful menu, and each other. But, we did so quietly, in the back kitchen, or at the bar after our shift. Yes, you gotta get it out, as it can be so frustrating and you have to put on a happy face in front of the customers. But you sure as hell don’t EVER let the customer know about it. You accept your $0.50 tip with a smile and tell them to have an excellent evening and you keep it moving and onto the next table. I agree with Tamara, if you think it’s acceptable to insult customers publicly, even when they “deserve it,” you definitely shouldn’t be in customer service.
You don’t?
The RBF is “high end professional.” Overly friendly IS “hooter’s.” A service professioal remains “invisable” and focused. YOU ARE A SERVANT.,.NOT ONE OF THE PARTY GOERS,
No eye contact…be impeccable with service. I agree completely with Capt, Lee and Kate.
I overheard a server fawning over a wealthy guest who was somewat dour. He was getting agitated,,,finally asked her how much it would take to make her go away.
Let them make their own fun,,.brach party with steel band was great. Amy whining about having to serve cof, and cake,.,ludicrous.
As for dick on bed? Believe me..,it could have been worse. He was a dick and probably got comped the second trip.
@ TT: I agree. It’s called “grace.” And “integrity.”
I worked for Disney for 8 years. We were supposed to be positive and smiling 100% of the time there. In fact, if you got caught NOT smiling 3 times, you were fired. It was really hard to do, working in such horrible conditions (heat, no water, no bathroom breaks for up to 6 hours, etc.) You couldn’t even complain while backstage on break or lunch.
Guests pay good money for special treatment. It is the main part of the job. Having a resting bitch face is not what they pay for. Neither are snide comments to millions of people watching. You can’t expect a great tip if you don’t give great service.
Welcome back Ms. Cat!!! I have missed your comments and I am happy to see you have returned. I hope all is well. 😉
Thank you! Yep, my laptop died, and I’m madly trying to save up for a nice litle tablet with keyboard now. But today, I discovered the public library, so at least I can join in now!!! Woo-hoo!
For the kiddies and peeps who PAY FOR SMILES vs high-end and truly professional service.
Disney sounds like service “hell.”
I was accused of not smiling ONCE. NEVER BY THE GUEST. WOULD you rather have someone who knows what uni is or the unprofessional.,.who doesn’t?
Mrs. K, disgusting comment. Everyone deals with difficult situations and people–my personal tactic is to get friendlier the crankier the person gets. And what about that awesome feeling when you’ve made the most dissatisfied of clients so happy and shown them you care and that they are important? They so often become your most loyal of customers.
No. No defense for these spoiled little bitchy stews, chefs, though I give the deckhands a pass on the slide because they complained out of earshot of the guests and smiled and acted happy as the guests slid down.
Maybe you (much like Kate) are just too darn good to be kind to people? It’s these people who complain and are rude and never able to see the bright side of anything who are truly miserable. They deserve it.
I want to charter a trip and withhold my tip until after the episode airs!
Sorry, but I had strong feelings on this one.
My comment is still in the abyss AKA moderation.
Was posting as Donna, thought I needed a change.
Was Kat saying she didn’t remember sucking Amy’s friend’s dick better or worse than just admitting it? She is such a nasty twat.
Captain Lee looked embarrassed to be there. And then laughing at the question about Ben and Kate hooking up. I was thinking why is he laughing, was it because Kate was hooking up with him? Can see Kate thinking, “I’m getting older and the rich husband is not happening, so yacht captain will do.”
Logan and Kelley both have that weird fake laugh. Both are strange guys. Kelley, enjoy your gay fan club who insult Jennice. She is way too good for you. She looked hot on the reunion, and you looked like the fake-weeping idiot you are.
I wish Kate and Kat had admitted what bitches they were.
Hope everyone saying what a good guy Eddie is doesn’t go to his head. He’ll get reality person disease. I’m already not liking Captain Lee so much. Notice his sour face when Andy was saying how he was a “Seaman?” Remembering his reaction to some of the guests. Think he is not gay-friendly.
i am going to weigh in with my 2 cents, not that y’all care. we all know about editing, they can make certain things appear a certain way pretty easily, there is so much more we didn’t see and what we were shown was for the maximum drama. that said, i think kate has a very calm demeanor, yes a she is a bitch and has the bitchy resting face. she never showed the stressed out freaking out crap that was so much a huge part of adriennes demeanor. personally i like adrienne, she seemed like a nice person, she just wasn’t a good manager of the stews she had. they ran over the top of her. i know it was her first job as a chief stew but her lack of experience showed badly. kate knew everything she was just a nasty bitch, far more organised. how kate dealt with amy was rude, but amy seems kind of high needs. amy though said she learned a ton from kate and that she would work with her again. ben, i love ben but how could he have screwed both of them? ick!!!! i think this cast was basically one big disfunctional family.
Kate couldn’t handle dinner service. She never had enough stews to serve guests. She took pride in putting Amy in over her head. And I think the calm demeanor was because she just didn’t care.
AND I WANTED TO LIKE HER!!!
“BEACH” PARTY…NOT “BRACH” party…sorry.
Trust me, that was the least of the problems with that comment. Don’t make eye contact? Seriously? Did you watch this season where nearly every guest complimented AMY and asked for her specifically because Kate was such a cunt?

Toots Shore’s and 21 waiter trained me…the idea behind this is every need is met/anticipated…the food “stars.” Of course, if you are engaged in conversation…be brief and friendly. Amy’s mistake with uni was a set up by “professional” eater. Am not taking issue with styles “liked or disliked”; cunt, twat or dick; it’s about serving the super rich. And personality plays a minimal role…IMO. Amy should have known…if she didn’t…she does now! She should have differed to Kate.
The dick throw was a bit over the top, however. Kate is old school and, I’m sorry but, I would rather competence and maturity…to hooters.
You think these charter guests are “super rich”? Have you ever seen this show? Have you ever sailed the Caribbean? Do you notice how often these guests round up people from the bar and bring them back?
I have no idea how you could compare a upper mid level range 3 day cruise in the Caribbean to some fine dining experience where people would like to eat in peace. It’s like you’re comparing military school to summer vacation. It’s just ridiculously stupid.

In my “rediculously stupid” opinion (IMRSO)…It’s the service I would prefer and would expect for a formal dinner…especially paying $100,000. or more for a few days aboard a super yacht.
Do people really think servers DON’T talk about them?
The lowest tip was the one Amy served to the teeny bopper and the “off shore” trader. Amy and Ben wanted to throw Kate under the bus…but instead, made everyone look bad. Not teamwork peeps. Kate tried to tell Ben about gf’s disdain for fancy food. Her wisdom in this case was really needed.
Is that kind of trading even legal??
It’s not a “super yacht” and it’s not $100,000. It’s the service YOU would prefer and expect? Kate? Is that you? Your delusions of grandeur and just general delusions are showing.

Fantastic recap TT! Kelley is just gross. (Although I didn’t know about the dic pic and will be stalking google next!) To discuss a woman in that manner on a national platform was so insulting and made him look so poor. Gross. I thought jennice (spelling?) handled it with grace. Kate may be super organized and great at what she does but a little kindness and friendliness goes a long way. I don’t consider that “hooters girl” behavior. I waited tables for years. I don’t think I was very good at it but I got by pretty well by being friendly and attentive to customers. I don’t care where I eat or where I am traveling—I would much prefer to have a smiling bartender/server/hostess/concierge then a BRF “über professional, no eye contact, etc” type person. I could also care less if I ask a question that a server has to check with the chef for a complete answer. Who cares? That’s just uptight-live a little. But I reliaze that’s just my personal opinion and my views have changed through some adversity over the last few years. Maybe my thoughts would have been different a few years ago. Anyhooo, for me, this is the difference between 20-25% tip and 35%. Above an beyond with a smile and some cherry banter. 🙂 As another commenter stated previously, the reunion was great for all the body language! Sorry for the long post.
@judymac: lowest tip was when Any did whatever…did you forget they praised the crap outta her and gave her that champagne?
Ben knew of the eating issues. Amy made sure the girl got her quesadilla! They said, “Amy you’re our favorite” at some point. Are we watching the same show?
I don’t believe that all the questions are actually from viewers.
I think when the divorce happened Amy was 17 and Kelley was 14. Amy left and went to college and Kelley was just starting high school and apparently his whole world fell apart because of the parents’ divorce. He got into drugs and then went into the military to change his direction in life (or out of desperation). He really belongs with the cast of Vanderpump Rules, one of those people who look really appealing until they talk. Then you are so let down. Kelley is mentally a mess. He is better than the host of strange birds he most likely met in the military but he seems to not know who he is, or maybe he is running from who he is. I hope he finds peace. I just think he’s a jerk for chasing Jenniece for the thrill of it with no intention to follow through. Boy did she show some integrity on that reunion though. That girl, like Amy, is solid as a rock. How did these two even get on a shitshow like Below Deck. They both definitely made it worthwhile to watch this year. I started out liking Ben but this season kind of ruined him for me. I liked it better last season when you could like the majority of the cast. This season the likeable ones were a small minority, and the bad guys made the okay guys like Ben and the Captain way less likeable. I was excited that with this show Bravo was going to head in a whole new direction. Now I feel stupid for even thinking that way.
A bit behind in watching this show and absolutely loving it. One thing that is really pissing me off though is Captain Lee makes himself out as an experienced captain?
What about Andrew lying on his resume.
Umm. WHERE THE HELL IS THE BACKGROUND CHECKS OF HIS POTENTIAL STAFF???? The captain put the boat, staff and guests well being at risk by not investigating the true capabilities of the people he was interviewing
