I missed last week’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht recap and am only now watching the show in preparation for tonight’s recap. I have never in my life seen a head stew behave like Daisy does toward Natasha. They are the same rank. If Natasha was a man Daisy would not be acting this way. Meanwhile, Gary didn’t sign up to be a dishwasher, but he might have signed on to do laundry is if Alli is in there. The guests continue to rave about her food until production tells them not to. Daisy can’t seem to figure out why Natasha doesn’t like her. Here’s a hint Daisy, you’re a bitch.
I can’t believe that JL is on the phone telling his mommy about Dani while Colin and Gary deal with the guests. He is supposed to be on night shift. They are not. The next morning, JL had done NONE of his work. Wow. And he still overslept. Their dinner on shore was disappointingly ridiculous. I was as ready as they were to have another land excursion.
Dramatic Interlude
So I am call caught up for tonight’s Below Deck Sailing recap. Update: I posted the before stuff from a much better place. I have tried to stop watching the news. Even as a young child I would ask why people watch the news and don’t cry. The news is always very sad. So I limited my news lately to just ABC with David Muir. And even then I sometimes just watch the first three minutes. But if you follow me on Twitter, you will see me going off tonight. I have a niece who was affected by a lifelong seizure disorder at age two and my father would vomit when she had one. I was vomiting earlier about more than one more police killing. My heart can’t take it some days. Sorry, it never gets easier to see.
Now Onto The Shit Show
Dani And JL are off to have sex. SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! Ladies, make sure that thing is wrapped up for MULTIPLE reasons. AIDS is still a thing and there are numerous other STDs that make you infertile, and oh yeah, you might get knocked up! Sydney is ridiculous. She needs to buy a vowel and guess the puzzle. Colin is so hot. But as a married man he seems to find this all as annoying as we do. Is he eating black beans for breakfast? Captain Glenn mocks them all for being drunk. Dani and Jean Luc made a baby in the charter guest bed, allegedly.

The new guests include a “self proclaimed food critic.” But before they have a chance to deal with all that the weather and high winds become a problem! Jean Luc is of course a moron in this situation. Insert many jokes about Dani having tall babies here. Oh there is another night off this should be good. Lots of talk about Dani wanting to have babies. It seems like production already knows that Dani is pregnant. Maybe that is why she mentioned it before the show aired? Colin’s dog has an issue where he may need to be put down! 🙁
Country Comes To City
The guests arrive. They are obviously cast. I’m just saying. Meanwhile Jean Luc continues to think he is a charter guest. He calls his boss a short little Frodo. Jean Luc seems to think he is on vacation on a TV show. Jean Luc keeps being a moron. Dani already seems to be pregnant emotionally. She is very emotional. Natalie knocks her dinner out of the park.

While the guests keep having fun.. The one with the nose ring cuddles with Gary. Apparently that is Alli. For the life of me I cannot see what either girl would see in Gary. Meanwhile, Colin gets news his dog has passed. I can’t with this tonight. And right now some weird shit is happening in the hood. I do not like that my newest neighbors have not put up a fence behind their house. Sorry. Also sorry that Colin’s dog died. I cannot prepare enough for that moment. In other news, Jean Luc and Dani clearly hooked up a lot.
The Morning After
Colin mourns his dog and the rest of the crew mourn their laundry not getting done. Captain respectfully requests clean underwear. Meanwhile all is breaking loose in the hood. My new neighbors have no fence in the backyard. That is where the people who broke up in my house live. So… pray for me.
Natasha is F’ing horrible. Period.
I’m worrying about you again. Your hood sounds mixed…you’ve mentioned people have been buying and renovating some homes (making them nice…in my best Dorinda voice) , but the people in some others sound like you should sleep with 1 eye open. You did mention a neighbor who helped w/Lawn Kid that sounded trustworthy. Honestly, which hoods are safe anymore???? We have seen a judge’s son shot to death & husband shot in an upscale neighborhood not too long ago. I think the world is crazy AF anymore. Do you have a gun? I’m pro gun to an extent. My kids shot competitively growing up (took safety courses). They were raised you assume all guns are loaded and you never aim one at anything you don’t intend to shoot. That being said, I don’t believe the average Joe Blow needs an AK-47. I just want you to be safe & I know you said at some point that cops weren’t great about responding there.
JL is an asshat. He is entitled and needs a ticket home…needed one before he impregnated Dani….yea, I know she is responsible as well, but he is a prick. I like Gary, but don’t find him attractive. He thinks his hair is all that, nope, give me Colin. I think he’s the most attractive guy on this season. Sydney makes me wish I could smack her through the tv. She has a delusional inflated opinion of her looks and thinks she is the fairest of the sea. Nope! I want Alli & Gary to tell her she had a one night stand (that Gary should not have done as she’s his subordinate), that he’s just not into her, and she sounds ridiculous AF saying she’s in love w/him (is she 12????) and trying to lay claim to him. She needs to grow up!
Poor Dani. I hope she did not get an STD op too if getting pregnant. I saw where some of the crew had extended support. Natasha’s message to her was sweet, telling Dani that it will never be Dani & the baby alone, that Dani will always have her support.
Lindsay is a psycho. I’m thinking that she will make the papers one day doing some “Fatal Attraction” shit on a guy she met the night before.
JL is an asshat. If he was as intelligent as he is tall but he’s not. Gary is a douche but he does know his job. Not buying this “Daisy is a bitch” thing. Irish people are just very direct and she hasn’t said/done anything to warrant that other than expect people to do their job. Dani is losing ground with me a bit. Don’t understand the attraction to Alli. She looks like an unmade bed most times. Colin is very cool & sorry his dog died. With the exception of Daisy & Colin, these are mostly immature children.
Oh a Natasha just can’t take any criticism. She seems to have finally found her groove as far as cooking but I’m thinking she has padded that resume of hers. Her output doesn’t match her ego.
Once more with feeling, it is not Daisy’s place to criticize or manage the chef. They have equal positions. Daisy is not Natasha’s boss and she should not act like she is. She would never treat a male chef the way she treats Natasha.
Daisy is not afraid to approach Gary either.
She’s allowed to ask Gary for help in the interior. She is not allowed to tell him he’s not doing his job right.
Daisy is basically the liaison between guests & kitchen. Her observations should not be dismissed out of hand. She’s not telling Natasha how to do her job but rather providing necessary feedback when needed. Natasha needs to be willing to hear it which she is not.
It is her totally Daisy’s job to rely information from the guests. That is where her input ends unless asked for. Or should. But it doesn’t. Daisy should be too busy doing her job to worry about Natasha. Daisy reminds me of Captain Sandy.
Natasha just got out of a bad marriage with a controlling spouse. People coming out of relationships like that might react differently to any implied criticism. Daisy’s mode of communication is coming across as nitpicky. When she commented on the portion sizes, she could just have said the guests weren’t able to finish their meal. Natasha would eventually figure it out.
She’s trying to help Natasha. What show are you watching? Natasha couldn’t even get an egg order right. How do you know Daisy wouldn’t make the same comments to a male chef? She knows their tip is heavily dependent on the food being a success.
I’m wondering after tonight if Dani was pregnant when the season started. She was saying she’s crying and fighting with people. She said “what is happening to me”? Hormones?? Maybe she was already pregnant? or they had already been hook in up for a while? just wondering.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm
In the mid season trailer, Dani says, “Let’s have sex tonight! And if I get pregnant, that’s God’s will!” I do not trust very many people. Maybe she was not worried about “getting” pregnant because she was when she started the season.
I never watch shows with animals because it breaks my heart when one dies. That girlfriend let an infection get that bad? Any animal that gets an infection so bad, they show signs of being sick. I had to turn the channel.
JL’s life motto – “you can’t work on an empty stomach”.
I’m surprised he didn’t say
Okay, now I have to take a sh*t.
I thought his favorite thing to say was, “Okay, I’m almost finished with my lucnh/dinner/coffee”. You can fill in which meal it is. Then he just keeps eating…no matter what he was asked to do. If he likes a schedule so much, maybe he should join the military.
I don’t know what your seeing but Natalie is the bitch not Daisy. Poor Dani if she’s pregnant with Jean Luca baby. He’s a lazy ass Mommas boy. I never watch the news too depressing. Sydney is delusion.
I’m seeing what you are seeing.
Not sure why, but Tamara is quite determined to defend her.
She seems pissed when we say we don’t like her.
Maybe she knows something we don’t.
I have no problem at all with Daisy.
I do think Natasha was much better this episode…Maybe?
She was better and she owned her horrible behavior on WWHL a week or so ago. She blamed her upbringing and apologized (I guess). It seemed sincere that she was embarrassed when she witnessed her awful behavior on TV.
Totally!! I’ve never seen a reality person take such accountability for their behavior. It was so refreshing! I felt like Andy could’ve laid off her a bit after a certain point but… that’s a different story. I wish more reality “stars” would follow suit.
She was one of the best Reality guests ever! So humble and honest. One of the very few who actually watched herself and realized she wasn’t right in the situation.
I don’t understand TT’s annoyance at Daisy either. If someone orders an over-easy egg, and as the server you get handed scrambled eggs, of course you’re going to say something. (Twenty years of waitressing here!) Natasha was really rude about the portion sizes when the guests thought they were too large. Daisy telling her what THEY said. Which is her job.
100% agree with everything this strand is saying. Natasha gets mad and acts like a spoiled teenager. As I tell my kids, you’re not going to like everyone you work with, but you still have to work with them. And Sydney, no one can possibly be that ridiculous. Embarrassing to watch. JL looks like a giant Eddie from the Munsters. Gary would be great to hang out with, but that’s where it ends. Not attractive…just MHO. Colin is the man. Respectful of his girlfriend and very kind to everyone. And not bad on the eyes either!
I think Natasha has a problem with constructive criticism. If you are cooking for americans, you need to know what over easy is. Maybe they can hang a chart in the kitchen with all the pictures of what eggs look like.. poached, over hard, over easy, scrambled hard, scrambled lite, etc. I’m sure there is one somewhere they could print out. I think Sidney has some kind of disorder, like she never grew up or is stuck at high school mentality instead of a functioning adult. She’s creepy. I honestly started crying about Colin’s dog. I just can’t with passing animals. Been down that road too many times to count and each time it’s just like the first time. FUCKING HORRIBLE! So i had to not pay attention after that. Daisy doesn’t bother me other than her delivery which comes across as harsh but that’s her culture I think. Very direct, no sugar coating and I think Natasha needs sugar coating since all the chefs we’ve seen on Below Deck are divas and fragile… who knows why. They’re cooking food. It’s not performing a whipple which is an 8 hour surgery to remove the head of the pancreas. So put it in perspective chefs. Enough with the diva attitudes. Were they always like that or was it just when Gordon Ramsey went on tv screaming at people?
Agreed…Daisy is good at her job. Natasha is the bitch – good analogy to Gordon Ramsey. Tamara just insists on the last word, even when dead wrong.
Nah, you just like calling people a bitch. And you are way more annoying than Natasha OR Daisy.
Natasha just got out of a bad marriage with a controlling spouse. People coming out of relationships like that might react differently to any implied criticism. Daisy’s mode of communication is coming across as nitpicky. When she commented on the portion sizes, she could just have said the guests weren’t able to finish their meal. Natasha would eventually figure it out. Besides it is not like Daisy hasn’t dropped the ball a few times. I wonder how she would like it if Natasha pointed it our.
Since there seems to be such a discrepancy between the way TT sees Natasha and Daisy and the way we see the two of them, I watched the episode again, thinking maybe I’d see something different. I feel like the “truth” (which of course, is only ever our individual perceptions, seen through our own backgrounds), lies in the middle. I do think Daisy’s delivery is a bit too “bossy” in tone, especially as she becomes increasingly pissed off by Natasha’s recalcitrance. I also think that Natasha has been a closed-off B, with a huge chip on her shoulder, who can’t accept any kind of feedback, from the beginning of this season. It IS her job to cook according to the guests preferences, and it IS Daisy’s job to convey feedback, from the guests, to Natasha. Natasha acts like my mom did, lol, as in- “you’ll eat what’s on this table or you won’t eat”, LOL. I still crack up thinking about that- but to this day, I’m not a picky eater, and I also never played “short-order cook” with my kids. But Natasha’s job is different. That said, Daisy does go a bit too far out of her lane, and does have a bossy way about her… So both things can be true at once..
Exactly.
I’m sorry but I have to disagree with you on Daisy and Natasha. The guests ordered eggs over easy and Natasha put out scrambled eggs and was so hostile to Daisy that Daisy was forced to serve them knowing they would be sent back, the same with the Hollandaise sauce on the poached eggs.
Goodness yes, she made two unbelievably basic mistakes and then doubled down on both – egregious!
I do get not being familiar with American egg orders like over easy. So you ASK.
So I am doing setups for RHONJ and I needed a thirty minute show on my DVR to watch while working so I clicked on the WWHL that came on after BDSY. How does Jean Luc know he has chlamydia “AGAIN”! And will he give it to Dani? That could be really bad for a pregnancy.
I love this show!
Daisy is a fantastic chief stew!
I love Colin too
What a sweetheart!
Now as for Sydney, forget about it!
Can’t stand her and Natasha isn’t far behind!
