Below Deck: King Come On I Wanna Lay Ya

November 7, 2017 by tamaratattles 35 Comments

I hear that tonight’s Below Deck is jam packed so I better go ahead and get right into it! We start back with dirty feet gate. I am amazed at how quickly I’ve move from Team Nico to Team EJ. Apparently, dickish behavior is genetic.

Did Jen shrink Captain Lee’s t-shirts? IJS

EJ goes to tell Captain Lee that he has to go back to his regular boat after this charter. Baker tells EJ as they are working on the deck, that she dreamed about cleaning her feet the night before. She clearly thinks a lot about her job. When I worked as a Lab Coordinator for college tutors I didn’t have anyone who could do Calculus, so I had to do it. Let’s just say it was not my best college course, so I went and sat in on classes and met with the professor to learn how to tutor it. It required all the brain power I could muster. I used to dream Calculus problems at that time. I’ve always wanted to dream in French, as I’ve been told that is when you master the language. Sadly that is a goal I am still working on. Maybe one day. 

This next group of guests, is no group of hillbillies with new money. They are used to living the high life. One of them is a restaurant owner. Matt has his work come out for him.

Kate is still riding Jen to stop her constant slacking. Bruno needs to be working on the interior. He seems to be doing most of that anyway.

The weather is horrible. Captain Lee says they can’t leave the dock any time soon. Meanwhile Nico has injured himself on the tender and says he needs to go to the hospital and can’t get it back to the boat. Bruno jumps in to save him and the boat. Because, hero. I line caught Nico in the elbow and he can’t move his arm from the elbow down. Nico returns from medical with a pinched and inflamed nerve and an arm in a sling.

The guests are not happy that the boat is not leaving the dock for at least a day. The gay guest is just like the rest of us and in love with Bruno. Bruno tells Kate he will help in any way. Kate shit talks him about wanting to be a stewardess. Really Kate? Didn’t you just say that being docked means the interior does all the work and the exterior gets to relax? He’s offering to help. You really could be more gracious.

The guests love Matt’s Mahi salad. In another life, I have enjoyed many a blackened Mahi (or Grouper)  salad. I need to see one of those out very soon. How did those things get eliminated from my life?

Apparently, this group brought their own tacky costumes for parties. So much for not being tacky new money. The food continues to impress. Except for one guest who thinks two fish dishes in a row is not acceptable.

Nico makes a tacky sexual reference about Brianna being a big help checking on him because after all he can’t use his right arm. Disgusting.

Captain Lee wants to drive home the point that the seas are too high to travel, so he takes two of the guys out to scare the shit out of them. I love Captain Lee. These guests are never going to leave the dock. The crew is scrambling to keep them happy so they still get a tip. Kate takes the guest on a land excursion. Matt is trying to plan a luau for the evening festivities at a beach. Kate takes them on a really great excursion where they wear scuba masks on their heads and walk around a shipwreck.

It’s like entertaining toddlers. From one distracting event to the next. EJ tells Baker that he is out after this service but not to tell anyone. Brianna and Jen argue like crazy when they are left to clean the interior alone. Bruno is a huge help to Matt in the galley.

Kate returns and is totally pissed off at the condition of the interior. Bruno is also pissed off at the condition of the interior. He wants to take matters into his own hands. Nico always wants to take matters into her own hands. He wants to take Brianna to a hotel for the day. How is that possible? The two stews manage to completely bungle the dinner service, so once again Bruno is the hero! He jumps in to help with service. When Kate asks Bruno what he thinks of the Luau, he rightly points out that nothing was set up outside. She sends him to go tell Captain Lee what he would have done differently, because he wants to know. What a bitch. I am back to hating Kate again. What Bruno doesn’t know is that Captain Lee will never hear a bad word about Kate ever. She can literally do no wrong. She is marching him into the lion’s den and this will not end well for him.

I mean for the love of God, she’s already forced him to dress up as a Pineapple King or some such nonsense beneath the dignity of his post. There is literally nothing he will not do for her. Including introducing himself as Don Ho’s brother “Ass” and telling them that by the power invested in him by the great Hawaiian Kind Come On I Wanna Lay Ya, he officially declares this Jason Swing Day.  I can hear his twitter being attacked as I type.

Bruno says he has a lot to learn from Kate. I’m not thinking that Kate’s particular head stew style will get Bruno very far. Kate dumps all the clean up on Jen and Brianna. Which seems fair considering they did nothing but the bare minimum for most of the day.

Next week: Out with the old guest who sadly went nowhere, drama with the crew especially when Captain Lee realizes that Bruno is doing so much of Matt’s work and giving him ideas, and in with the new crew. CAPTAIN LEE’S WIFE COMES ON THE SHOW! She is an amazing human being, and Kate argues with Jen more.

    What a piece of work Nico is!!! Can’t stand him. When he was on the boat and started yelling that he has to go to the hospital RIGHT NOW, I had visions of him bleeding all over the deck, gizzards hanging out, eyeballs exploding, but, no! He pinched a nerve in his arm. OK, stuff like that can be painful, but not worthy of his hysteria. Plus, why can’t he help in some way, why is he staying in bed having food brought to him? Captain Lee was beautifully snarky when he said he’d pinch a nerve too if it meant he’d be waited on hand and foot. I’ve had a broken arm and still got more done than that lazy, entitled excuse for a deckhand. Meeting his brother was an eye opener – two of a kind, and not in a good way. Bruno is getting gayer and gayer as the cruises go on, and is definitely in the wrong part of the yacht. He should go into interior decorating, and I don’t mean that in a sarcastic way. He has an eye for detail, is a perfectionist and would get things done. Jen is still a lazy bitch, and doesn’t have a clue how pathetic she is. So EJ is leaving? How come he was hired if he didn’t plan on staying? Just to piss Nico off? Good work, Production, it’s been entertaining. Baker must be kind of irritated that EJ was so flirty with her when he knew he would be leaving but, considering he has no game whatsoever, and even if he had a much longer time on board, he wouldn’t have made any positive moves. So, no big loss.

      Just to clarify my comment, when I said Bruno was getting gayer and gayer, that’s not why I said he should go into interior decorating. No gay slur intended. What I meant was, he seems to have definite gifts and doesn’t appear to be using them.

      ER, right on point about Nico. An x-ray doesn’t show a “pinched nerve,” and I can guarantee they didn’t give him that as a definite diagnosis at the clinic. He hit his “funny bone,” big deal. Whine, whine, whine, Nico, at least your running true to form. And Jen? More whine, whine, whine from her too. I think Kate is right about her…it’s time to just tell her “shut up and work.” I think we are seeing more and more that Bruno is the most dedicated of all the yachties. Not only is he willing to do whatever is needed to optimize the guests’ experience, he is showing that he has the knowledge and skill to basically do any of the jobs at least as well as those who have the positions (Kate and Matt?). I loved Lee’s question about why the chef had to depend on Bruno for cooking ideas. Perhaps the cruise company should hire Bruno to run their orientation program and have him teach all new team members how to do their jobs correctly. Definitely, he’s this season’s MVP.

        Bruno is fabulous, he knows what he’s doing…I love that…with his knowledge and work ethic he will go far in that industry, he could be general manager of the entire yacht, if there’s such a position…ok, I’m not trying to be rude or anything but I really wouldn’t want to be on a boat with that crew…Kate knows what she’s doing so yeah you can trust the interior will be “ship shape” however she can be a bit nasty and messy with her mouth and I want her to eat a couple of double cheese burgers and some fries at least once a week…Capt. Lee is ok, sexy at times, curses too much…Matt’s food looks good, he’s a typical Canadian, sweet, gentile, but the story line of him calling his ex who clearly wants nothing more from him is lame, he acted very lame on that “date” he went on with, I forget her name, you guys know who I mean, that was sad…Nico, yuck !!!

          I agree ! He has a lot of potential for sure but he still is a big greenie as a deckhand. I do think maybe he missed his calling though. He might see himself on the show and with everyone telling him how great he is in the kitchen he just might change his career path (if he really chose to be a deckhand or if someone just thought he looked good and asked him to come be on the show LOL.)

        Yes he is. Bruno in my opinion gets 5 stars. I am tired of Kate. She walks around with a frown on her face all the time and stringy dirty looking hair. I understand why the Capt. likes her because she DOES HER JOB and for no other reason. However, the way she treats Bruno is terrible when all he wants to do is help. She might could take a tip or two from him. SERIOUSLY!!!!!! Nico could do a lot besides stay in the bed looking at his phone 24/7. I agree that an x-ray nor sonogram show a pinched nerve. That was just the doctors guess from all the whining Nico was doing.

    Jen is such an entitled brat, it wouldn’t surprise me if she and her daughter are still living at home with her parents, with them picking up most of the slack for her. I think Bruno secretly wants to be a stew but doesn’t want to do the dirty work like cleaning toilets and ironing. He should have stayed in the activities department on Oasis of the Seas, it was clearly where he belongs. He doesn’t belong on deck crew, that’s for sure.

    Kate is a cunt. A funny one but there’s no doubt in the level of bitch Kate can bring… I guess.. maybe I’m still pissed she didn’t really do a lot to stick up for Jen when she was getting sexually harassed so badly on the last charter.. I just think Kate is good at her own job but not a good manager, so the attitude of superiority is b.s. and everyone tiptoeing around her (even the captain) annoys me. Fuck with Bruno when he is there trying to help you? Ungrateful twat. Also I hate Brianna. Again, don’t understand the appeal there.

    I have a friend who always manages to appear super busy, like she is always working on something and is harried and exhausted and none of her stuff ever gets completed. That is Jen, same thing. They do things haphazard and can’t focus on one task and get it done. They flirt around and look super busy and are not even keeping their haleada above water.

        At one point last year, another site reported that he was seen filming with Captain Lee in St. Maarten. I think that was after his arrest? He (Kyle) confirmed that he was back towards the end of Season 5.

    Nico needs to go. I don’t think Brianna works as hard as she says.
    Apparently she was tending to Nico when Kate was onshore. Jen is like watching a dog chase its tail. Bruno needs to be a pastry chef on another boat. Loved when Kate told the girls to clean up and said goodnight. Was hoping Eddie was coming back but doubt it.

    I’m having a delayed reaction to Captain Lee dressing up like he did. I don’t like it. My dignified, professional captain holding a pineapple, with flowers on his head, acting cheesy? Nooooooooooo. I must admit he looked really good, but I love him in his uniform, looking like he could pilot the biggest yacht in the world with one eye closed and one arm behind his back. I realize he has to do things because of the show that he wouldn’t do if he were free to make his own decisions, but they need to leave him alone next season.

          I finally read his blog and loved it. Basically, he dressed up because he’s willing to do whatever it takes to provide a good experience for the guests. His take on all the crew is totally on-point. I think that in reality, he’s probably an excellent leader; I think that frequently Bravo edits in such a way as to create controversial views so the viewers will continue to tune in each week. Erica, you are totally right about what he said about Jen. Absolutely true.

    I am so glad you are starting to see through Nico finally! Last season he was an immature jerk (remember his issues with Kate) who literally sang about getting his tip money. It’s unfortunate that his brother died and he needed to work, which happened to be in front of a camera, but whining about how he should be the bosun all the while he can’t be trusted to not faux maim himself on the tender does not get a pass.

    Since below deck seems to recycle story lines – I’m excited that Bruno seems to be a fresh arc. I know Rocky in a past season had culinary asperations, but the chefs seemed to not being open to working with her which I think reflects really positively on Matt (and I hope the bs next week about Bruno doing too much interior work just proves how much of an asset Bruno is). Given that Bruno’s experience is proving actually valuable, I think people are trying to minimize him to make themselves feel better, but, and I’m repeating what I said above, even though Kate might have been being facetious when she said to Jen to just “let Bruno shine” both her and Matt know, as managers, you need to let people feel good about their work, which ultimately reflects favorably on them as managers. I see Bruno’s desserts as an example – the guests loved the cake, Matt got to do the dishes he was interested in, and everything worked out. Crap, even the beach excursion, which no interior attended, went 20 times more smoothly than with Jen barrelling through (at least that’s the edit we’ve seen).

    Summation: I would rather watch the yachties go all Mr. Carson about good service than Nico uncerimoniously demonstrating he’s a dirt bag by making lewd jokes about Briana.

        Totally. I am frankly surprised kate has never referred to herself as a modern Mrs. Hughes.

        I hate saying this, but the two industries seem to be parallel, with the exception of yachties not being lifers. This is literally a modern version of upstairs downstairs on a boat. I am not wealthy and have never participated in an opulent living, but it has always surprised me how affluent (and white) the crews that are presented in this show are. As kate has said she is basically a maid, but the upside is that she has free range of a luxury yacht when not on charter, hence why it’s an attractive and possibly competitive profession. Being that these crews operate down in the Caribbean and maritime employment isn’t exactly known to be pro-labor rights, it always seemed to me we are getting the “hollywood” version of “below deck” and never actually see the people who are paid dirt and do all the work. I am conflicted :(.

        Ps. A fun cross of below deck and downton is “Hotel Babylon.” The first season is the best.

    Bruno pissed me off with the Kate thing… and I think that was her last straw. She’d been working at the beach all afternoon (6 hours!) and came back to that mess. Managed to fix said mess, get berated and bitched at by a incompetent stew (I know she doesn’t complain to Capt. Lee, and takes pride in that – but I would have tossed Jen overboard by now). He wasn’t offering help, he was bitching.

    There is a difference between “Hey Kate, I know some shit didn’t get done today, can I help with the buffet? Help add some decorations”

    vs. It looks like shit. Where are candles, etc.? It isn’t impressive.

    She only sent him to Capt Lee so that he could see she wasn’t finished, that she had stuff better than fucking candles.

    FYI… candles on a boat that has been forced to stay on dock because of WIND issues? UM, NO.

    Now, if they got rid of Jen, switched Bruno to interior, and as long as he didn’t try to stick with Matt as a sous chef and did his share of toilets, I think he has the potential to be a stew rock star.

    Loved Kate cutting off Jen with the “I only got 20 minutes” Ya know who even have lunch? Me. G’night.

      Agreed! I read the situation with Bruno the same way. I was thinking that either it was just a story arc – Bruno complains about interior not doing its job, steps in, gets too big for his britches and Kate puts him in his place – or that it was real and production told Kate exactly the extent of his talking shit about the interior so she would be pissed (though maybe it was just that she had reached her limit). But because Bruno is amazing, he learned the lesson real quick, laughed it off and went back to working. Meanwhile, Kate is getting more and more on edge and I don’t blame her – Jen is a disaster!

Kate love you too but please lay off the facial fillers so you can move your mouth and also wash your hair more than once a week. Nico acts like his pussy hurts. We need some Eddie back.
