Below Deck Recap: Plenty Of Jake To Go Around!

December 6, 2021 by tamaratattles 21 Comments

Tonight’s Below Deck recap is coming to you own west coast time! You can blame Andy Cohen for this. Also, it The Voice night and that’s my bonding time with Banjo. So I hope it is okay that I’m recapping the second showing that starts at 10:30 here in real people time. 🙂 It looks like the interior, the deck and Captain Lee and Eddie all of some sort of beefing going on.

Below Deck RecapRayna Shares Some Heartbreaking Information

Fraser wakes up with no memory of the previous evening. He finds out that he made out with Jake multiple times. He feels really embarrassed. Jake says it is fine. He had a great time. He says the titular phrase, “Plenty of Jake to go around.” I hate Heather. She wants to throw Jessica on service to see if that pulls her out of her funk. Perhaps Heather could, you know, DO SOMETHING from time to time. We have another cancer survivor as a primary. So the first night they will be having a dinner that celebrates boobs. Also Captain Lee is going to have the guest take a tender to the yacht so that when they arrive all the water toys are all set up. Sounds like a good plan to me. Unless they have ten tons of luggage. The crew hates the idea.

Rayna and Wes have conversations about how racist the US is. Rayna says she has been maced by cops and beaten up by cops. Rayna says she and one of her besties were randomly beaten in an elevator by three white guys in Minneapolis. Damn. This country has really gone to hell in a handbasket over the past six years or so. Rayna says she doesn’t want to have kids because she doesn’t want them to deal with all the hate. #Heartbreaking. Rayna has a lot of trauma she hasn’t fully dealt with. This explains her anger.

Always with the stank face…

Heather Makes Some Changes

Heather meets with her stews and says for this charter, Fraser will be on laundry and Jessica will be on service and Heather will sit on her ass. Well, she didn’t say that last part. But, I remember watching WWHL with Fraser and Jessica and the both said that Heather literally did nothing but occasionally carry a plate or two out during service. Watch and tell me if you see her working. Jessica would rather be on laundry. She’s not really down with service. For some reason a bag of rotten jackfruit was found on top of the washer and dryers. Ut. Oh. Jessica texts her mom and says he wants to come home because she doesn’t like anyone on the boat. To be fair, no one really talks to her.

Fraser makes great work of the laundry room. I wish he would come to my house! The deck crew struggles mightily to get the toys out on time. The crew only had two hours to get the whole boat ready. Maybe this was not such a smart idea after all. The guests do notice on their ferry over that the boat is all set up. That is a sign that this is not their first rodeo. After a few bobbles, the guests arrive and they are happy and seem nice. They are in a rush to get in the water. Captain Lee has really warmed up to Rachel this season. The guest love their lunch of sliders and hot dogs, and basic stuff. Jake tells Wes he needs to work faster.

It’s Time For  Booby Party!

Jessica is pissed that Fraser is bitching so much about the laundry room. Truth be told, it was a fucking mess and he had it all prim and proper in record time. I’d be grateful for the clean slate. It’s time for the party and the guests (have been told by production to) wonder where the stew is. Heather catches one of the guests behind the bar making drinks. Heather calls Fraser to help with drinks. Why? She is literally at the bar. Meanwhile, Eddie is dropping the hammer on the deck crew.

Captain Lee joins the guests for dinner. Rachel does a great job elevating simple foods to please the guests. Literally, in the middle of dinner, Heather calls Jessica to the master suite. Who does that leave on service? No one. Apparently, she wanted Jessica to wipe water droplets off the floor with a paper towel. What a crisis! The primary wants Heinz 57 for Rachel’s steak. Will they even have that on a mega yacht? Full disclosure, I sometimes put A1 on my expensive steak. But, only in the privacy of my own home.

Things Fall Apart…

At the end of the day, Heather tells Jessica, it’s down to the last straw when it comes to her work abilities. Training is officially over. It’s do or die. The next thing you know Jessica is back working in the laundry room. Jessica goes to bed, but first she tells Rayna what happened. Rayna says Heather is a fake ass bitch. Jessica thinks she doesn’t have any allies.  But, Rayna seems to be one. The next morning, Jessica has a new mindset and is ready to try her best. But the deckhands struggle to get the slide out again and there are multiple issues. Captain is cussing up a storm. He’s pissed. Eddie could do without Captain Lee’s commentary. Is Eddie really pissed at his boat daddy?

Eddie nails Rayna with the slide. It’s a hot mess. Captain Lee calls Eddie up to the bridge and tells him to calm the fuck down. That seems to make Eddie more pissed. The guests are still great and happy to be out on all the water toys. Meanwhile, Rayna tells Fraser that Jessica just wants to go home. Captain Lee is actually washing dishes in the galley. That’s a bad sign. Also, it’s something that Heather could be doing. You know. If she did stuff. He also compliments Fraser on the laundry room.

Jake tells Rayna that she put her wet clothes in the wash, and that she also has mugs in the sink and not to leave them laying around on the deck. She says she only has one mug. This leads to a full blown screaming match that Eddie and the guests overhear. So Eddie is pissed.

Next week: The belittling of Jessica continues. Heather comes on to Jake. That is sure to piss Rayna off. Captain Lee is unhappy with the deck team.

    Why is everyone so turned on by Jake’s mustache?! I don’t get it. He seems to have chrisma so maybe that’s it? I have found Rayna to be hostile so far, but after this episode I can understand her more. It is awful and sad those kinds of racists assaults are still happening in America.

    Sometimes I like a little A1 on my steak too, and some Heinz 57 on my grilled chicken!

        A1 on a cheeseburger is THE BEST! I’ve never put it on a steak though. If I did, my father would rise from his grave and smack me for such blasphemy!

          Again, I only do it in the privacy of my own home. And it usually means I overcooked the steak, because, southern.

    I think Jessica only does the necessary obvious surface work that is required, and even that is a push for her. My dad would use the phase “half assed”. She is just in the wrong profession. No natural motivation, no people skills, perpetual sad face. I get Heather’s frustration having to constantly point out the obvious to her. I see Heather working. She worked with Frasier turning the rooms and decorated for the boob night and helped serve, and uses small windows in the serving schedule to check the rooms. Hanna did that and so did Kate. Those boob shirts and balloons came from somewhere. I’m not crazy about her, I find her annoying and she should have warned Jessica about her problems with her sooner instead throwing it all on her at the end of the day, but I think Heather does more than is filmed. I mean Frazier could not have been doing all the upstairs work and service while Jessica was in the laundry all day .That would have been impossible. I didn’t watch Frazier on Andy but that sounds a bit off because he certainly bitches about Jessica enough on the show, and rightly so. Perhaps that changes.? I also don’t understand the Jake attraction.

    These are very easy going guests (love the primary and his beers) and if the crew can’t get it right on this one they are doomed. I agree with all you said about them. On WWHL Rayna seemed funny and cool, not so much in the boat.

    Jake’s mustache is So creepy! Am I allowed to say that? No, I had not noticed Heather not doing anything! I am not really focusing when I watch BD or VPR, I am a RH girl. I LOVED Below Deck when Kate and Ben were on it. I just read Captain Lee’s book “Running against the Tide”, and it was all about his adventures coming up in the yachting world. He did have quite the time and it was very interesting.

    I was hoping it would be much more autobiographical, like how does he and MaryAnn have 5 children, only one together, (The one that overdosed, God Bless Him) when she was his childhood sweetheart? And have been married forever? It is well worth the read, especially since he is using the profits to start his floating rehab. I love him and MaryAnn for that. We need to treat addiction like we do cancer. I was hoping to find out more about his struggles with his son as I have experienced that.

    Thanks for the recap Tamara! I was shocked to hear that your vet said Banjo was like Cujo? Banjo?! He was so sweet! Dogs usually like me tho. Dogs and children. Insert adorable laughing emoji-

      I think the problem was really the vet. I have always had multiple pets and two past dogs were not the friendlest. My vet knew how to handle that because as a vet YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. Ita a normal part of the job.

      I’m not a fan of the mustache either. It screams 70’s pornstar to me and skeevs me out.
      Other than my absolute favorite, Captain Lee, Rachel is my favorite crew member this season

    Did my eyes deceive me or did I see Jess wipe off the toilet seat and then put the rag on the side of the sink?

    This may have come up before, but isn’t there usually a first officer, a bosun, and 3 deckhands? So why is Eddie having to do both jobs? Is this just to make drama?

      You are correct on all counts. There is always a first officer, but that position is usually a real sailor (for lack of a better term) and not a reality TV personality. So we never see them. There are many people running the ship beyond the cast members we see. There is also an actual cleaning crew that comes in after every charter and an even bigger one during Covid. Sorry is I broke the 4th wall a bit too much. 🙁

      There have been times when real problems happened like Kate getting drunk and setting the kitchen on fire…etc… (yes I know it wasn’t edited that way) and real experienced people have to come out of the woodwork to basically keep everyone from dying. lol.

          I’m starting to worry about my brain. Eddie lit his hair on fire? I am literally recapping a show and people are saying why didn’t you mention this or that and I’m like, when did that happen. I think I may need a brain scan or something.

    Eddie lit his hair on fire last week when he was trying to light his cigar with a blowtorch. And yes, Jess did wipe the toilet seat and then wiped the bathroom counter afterward. The girl just isn’t cut out for that job. That laundry room looked so good when Fraser finished setting it up. He seems to be a perfectionist. Heather is lazy and I’m hoping she’s a one and done. I’m not interested in seeing her come back next season. Rayna’s story is horrifying. I feel for her.

      There is an entire post by a (NYT or Vanity Fair?) writer about production’s role on Below Deck. It was a couple of year’s years ago. I THINK I found it on a link in one of TT’s posts. I have Googled it since then and it came up. I just tried again and there are a lot more of those tell-all’s, but the first was the best.

      They have a production boat that trails the other boat. I only know this because one season the production boat was in a boating accident. I think I reported that here at the time. There is always at least one person awake on the real boat in case something exciting happens.

    How did I miss the part about Jake accidentally shitting on his girlfriend? A friend, who does not watch BD asked me about it. I must have dozed off.
