Episode Tone & Vibe

This recap is everything a fan could want: sharply irreverent, loaded with Bravo deep cuts and nicknames, and interspersed with playful, sometimes savage character assessments. The tone is upbeat, cheeky, and “mock because we love.” The Fish Report breaks up the recap with classic Ronnie-and-Ben free association, and the show leaves listeners eager for the next mess on both Below Deck and Bravo at large.

If you want witty, loving mockery and the inside scoop on Bravo’s wildest, this episode is for you.

Transcript

[Ronnie]

If your skin care isn't working, you're probably skipping this step. Gentle daily exfoliation. I love using the toning pads from Bare Faced and they have transformed my skin. Bare Face sells one of these every three minutes, so you know they are that good.

[Ben]

Love the way they make my skin look less clogged, pore, smoother, clearer skin, and they give my skin a healthy glow. They're gentle enough for daily use, but effective enough that you'll see a difference within two weeks.

[Ronnie]

[Ronnie]

I'm feeling great. How are you feeling so good?

[Ben]

Because Below Deck down under really delivered the juice. They delivered it. I was cheering at the end of this episode. I was giggling like a little girl who got a school who got a present. And I know you were too because you texted me right after you finished watching it as well.

[Ronnie]

That is a true statement. I was not anticipating the twist at the end of this episode. It was such a big twist. It was such a funny decision on their part. They. I mean, they're masochists that they brought Ellie back. I did not see that coming. And when it's like, okay, they decide to put Ellie in the kitchen with Ben, it makes no sense whatsoever. Her whole thing is that she wants to be a Chief Stew. Like, she's desperate to become a chief stew, but she's just so excited to be back on TV that she's happy to work with Ben. And she comes on all cheery and we just know that this is gonna be a disaster. And it's such a disaster. For the first time in the history Below Deck and quite possibly any Bravo show, we got a mid season trailer after episode three. I've never seen that before. They're like, yeah, this shit is such a disaster that we have to give you a sneak peek of what you're about to see.

[Ben]

And not only that, they had her narrate it, which was really funny. It was like, coming up this season on Below that. I was like, oh, no. When Ellie is like heading the whole trailer. Oh, girl. And it was bonkers.

[Ronnie]

It was beyond perfect.

[Ben]

Super exciting. I mean, when Below Deck has been on this long and it's constant, it never goes. It's on year round. It's every fucking day, it seems like. And it can still excite you. I mean, wow. Well done. Well done.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, it was really tremendous.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

And, you know, we've been. We've been joking about how Ben has been calling Alicia, like, you know, honey buns and all this stuff. We're like, it's so gross. Ellie is not going to stand for it. Based on the trailer. Oh, my God. It's going to be insane, guys.

[Ben]

It may not be the hero you want, but it's the hero you need. So let's get going. We start where we left off, which is Alicia crying to Jason, being like, I'm doing my absolute best and I can tolerate it for a certain amount of time, but I mean, already losing my head and I can't. I can't do this. I'm just waving the white flag. Get me out of here. I can't do it. Everything's going wrong. And he's like, have you spoken to Pen about this? Why didn't they just cast Mauricio to play the man confused with women's feelings? Because he is just giving her that blink, blink. Mauricio's on every other show. Just put him on this one. I know.

[Ronnie]

And she says, she's like, well, he can't change. It would be a better boat if you had Someone who had better skill set than me. He's like, well, this is Below deck, and you're actually at the high end of the people that we staff on the show. So I don't think it's really going to happen, but this is happening at a moment because Wanda staffed and. And it's actually probably going to get a lot better when he gets on top of things, because I don't want you going through the season, you know, feeling like this continuously. I'm actually hoping that you could put his personality to one side and you can just see how you can fit in. It's like, no, it's going to be like this the entire time. We've seen Ben on two different versions of Blow Deck, and he is like this. Whether they're understaffed, overstaffed, or just right staffed.

[Ben]

Yeah, he would be like that to somebody with a staff infection. I mean, he's just like that. That's just how bad he is. So Jason's like, well, I brought back Alisa this season because I wanted to continue to grow. I want her to grow in the industry. I know she wants to be a chef. I don't want her to throw away her dreams after one charter. And so he's like, listen, I had a vision of you coming back and just learning. And she's like, yeah, well, that was my vision two days ago, and guess what? Now I've got a vision of my mother on FaceTime giving me double middle fingers and saying, I told you so, I told you so, you little fucking loser.

[Ronnie]

So he's like, all right, well, can we readdress that vision? Can we have a vision board? Can we put a little kimono on that vision? What can we do? Can we crash that vision into a dock? How can we make this vision work for this boat?

[Ben]

She's like, I don't want to let him down, but I'm at the end of my tether. So he hugs her and he's like, you know, I'd be disappointed if you left. And she said, I'd be disappointed, too. Listen, I think that Jason always has this problem when it comes down to staff issues. He wants them to work it out themself. He doesn't want to have to be the person in there. That's one style of leadership, but I would prefer a solid. Listen, this is a workforce. Stop your fucking sniveling, grow some heels and get your ass back down there and deal with it. It's not personal. He's not yelling at you. He's yelling at his sous chef. It's like a video game. You know, you start it, you're given no weapons. You don't know what to do.

[Ronnie]

You.

[Ben]

Anybody can kick your ass. You know, you suck. You have to learn all of the. All of the little key combinations and stuff, and eventually you earn a better sword and you get better at it. Everybody sucks at first, and everybody's yelled at and everybody's treated like shit. So fucking grow a pair of heels and get back down into that kitchen. And if you cry one more fucking time, I'm drowning you. And that's it.

[Ronnie]

God, I would love a final boss like Ben, where you just go up. Even just the first boss, a mini boss, a tutorial boss, where you go up, you're like. And I guess. Nice try, honey bun. Do it again. It's like, okay. Did you remember to put sugar in the cheesecake? It's called a dessert for a reason. It's just a boss that belittles you. You're like, I'm trying to kill you with my sword. I don't care. I'm trying to make a souffle.

[Ben]

Listen here, maple mumps. Get over there and try it again, idiot.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that would be great. But I agree, it is like a video game. And, yeah, you know, you just sort of have to push through sometimes. At least after one charter. On the other hand, she's completely inept, and she is not cut out for the kitchen. And whatever skill she had last season, they've. They. She left them on the hill because she's somehow worse than she was before. And sometimes it is good to know really where your limits are and just to cut and run. So I think in this case, normally I would be like, hey, come on, stick at it. You'll be okay. But she really. She forgot to put sugar. She forgot to put sugar in the cheesecake. You know, she put the frittata on high. Like, it's every single day, it's like something really chaotic and bad. Like, so bad that you're like, oh, okay, we should move you over to, like, the Gap or something.

[Ben]

That's true. But you know what? Cooking is a skill. It's not necessarily a talent. I mean, food is a talent. You know, I'm not saying that there are no people with talent in it, but cooking itself is a skill. It's a learned skill. So at some point, you just have.

[Ronnie]

To, like, if so is flying a plane, so is flying a plane. And I'm not gonna, like, put Alicia in the co pilot chair either.

[Ben]

Okay, that's true. But if you've already got one inept person who doesn't know what they're doing, to be like, oh, you know what we'll do? Let's just switch it around and get another inept person and we'll move you over here where you're only slightly inept, and we'll just put another inept person there. Like, what? I know that it has to do with casting too. And I guess sous chefs aren't apparently a big thing on yachts, or at least on this show, because last year was the first one they even had one, so maybe they just can't find them. I don't know. But the whole thing, I'm just like, come on, Jason, give her a good talking to or something. But, like, replacing one flat tire with another flat tire is crazy.

[Ronnie]

Crazy. And thank you for doing it so.

[Ben]

And thank you. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

And thank you. The Real Housewives are still on this boat, by the way. And so Heather and Whitney are looking around for Heather's nipple cover, and then.

[Ben]

The nipple covers want to get away from Heather. Let that be a. Let that be a lesson to you. Whenever even your nipples are running away.

[Ronnie]

It'S a bad sign. Mike and Daisy are prepping a table, and Mike is like, me and Daisy have been getting along very well. She's very independent, very strong willed, plus five foot and blonde hair that's ticking a lot of boxes. It's like, okay. And she's just like, whatever. Crazy hair. So then we go to the galley, and Alicia is. She comes back after having cried to Jason, and she's put a smile back on. And they start prepping breakfast. And Daisy is radioing the guests are would like to do yoga with Jason this morning. So Jason goes upstairs, he lead. Starts leading this yoga class that's supposed to be, I guess, a moment of relaxation and tranquility, but doesn't really go in that direction.

[Ben]

Yeah. So Jason's leading, and Heather's like, how are you feeling? Fucking yoga, Heather. And Brittany's like, lisa gets to say whatever she wants to me, and she just gets to say, I'm sorry and that's the end of it. And I'm kind of over it. I mean, do you know what I'm saying? Come on, Heather. Do you know what I'm saying? Come on. They're doing the down dog and stuff. There's like, no, just do the yoga.

[Ronnie]

And Jason's like, all right, leg up, right leg forward, kimono open. And Britney's like, I mean, I guarantee.

[Ellie]

I will never Hear an apology for all the horrible things that she spewed.

[Ronnie]

At me last night.

[Ellie]

There's, like, a big kaboom that happens, and it's. And I hate it.

[Ronnie]

All right, and then downward door. Get your butt up in the air.

[Ellie]

And I'm a. I didn't call her anything.

[Ben]

Jason's like, yoga is a form of meditation. I don't think that's really good for this group. You know? Brittany's like, she won't apologize. Jason's like, nama staying out of this.

[Ronnie]

This is bullshit.

[Ben]

So he leaves. He just cuts it really short. He's like, bye. And we were wondering when we were watching this on Salt Lake City, like, that was the shortest yoga class ever that we just see. Jason's like, nah, no, no.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, he's not in any mood for this. So in the galley, Alicia is squeezing limes, and Ben's like, no, honey buns.

[Ben]

Get.

[Ronnie]

Just use the lime juice, honey. No. What are you doing? She's like, the juicer. No, we got lime juice in the bottom of the fridge. Please, can you use that? Come on, now. She's like, but I love you, Ben, and I really respect you, but I.

[Ellie]

Don'T want to be here. The lime juice is the shore that broke the camel's back. I actually hate it. I hate it.

[Ronnie]

Okay, that's fine. But stop putting lime juice in the middle of the cheesecake. That's the wrong place for sugar in the cheesecake. Lime juice on the fish. How many times I have to explain it to you?

[Ben]

All right there, pixie puss, Tell me what's going on. Go ahead, talk to me. Talk to me. It's like, well, I cry every day, and I can't do the job, and you'd be better off with someone with qualifications. He's like, I realized a lot of this stress is because you are to chef, and sometimes I treat you like a chef. Okay, I understand, but your temperament is just too much. What temperament?

[Ronnie]

That's the most amazing. What, you mean my kind attitude? Take the outburst. Fine.

[Ellie]

The outburst is just too much. Please.

[Ronnie]

Yes. Please understand that, you know, what we do requires a lot of perfection or some perfection or just a base level adequacy or, I don't know, the simplest of logic. And if you don't have that, I apologize. Sometimes I'll get a little hard on you, but I don't want to upset you because you don't have that many brain cells, and why dedicate any of them to tears? Am I right?

[Ben]

Like, I can't do It. I'm just utterly useless. He's like, all right, listen, I've been a bit of a dick to work with, all right? I'm gonna admit that. So, like. But I'm useless. It's a fair. It's like, well, that's it, love. That's it. Nailed it. Nailed it with that one.

[Ronnie]

You're useless as well.

[Ben]

Find some lime juice. I believe in you.

[Ronnie]

So he's like, she's saying that she respects me and that she wants to quit at the same time. And it feels terrible because I should be a good boss and a good leader, and if someone's going to quit on me, that's not good for me. Just kidding. I really don't care. Get me someone new, please. Anyone?

[Ben]

Now Bronwyn and Meredith are wearing their inflatable silly costumes. They're like, oh, my God, my marriage is terrible. But I'm going to be pretend. It's fine by putting on an inflatable costume and going to the airport costumes that Bronwyn wears. And Betul just sees them, and she's like, what? What is going on? And then they take that stupid little stuffed animal thing and. Is this where they throw it in? They throw it in?

[Ronnie]

Well, they're. They throw it in. So they do the whole thing that we saw before, which is that they. They go. They bring it up. They throw it in. And Joo's just watching, and he's like, right now what we're doing is we're polluting the sea with the fucking unicorn. We don't do that in Zim. It's a fineable offense, a jellable offense. And in Zim, they'll throw popcorn at your head for it. So no matter how colorful the thing is, it's still littering.

[Ben]

So we see Joao go on the tender and pull the unicorn from the water. So it was Joao.

[Ronnie]

It was Joao. And notably the entire second half of the season, the entire second half of Salt Lake City, we could maybe blame it on Joao, because it was Joao who went and fetched the unicorn. And if he had never fetched the unicorn, then Brittany would not have been sad, and then everyone would have felt bad for Brittany. And Meredith wouldn't have maybe. Would not have lost her mind at that point on the plane. Who's to say?

[Ben]

Who's to say? I did like that. It was one douchebag saving the gift of another douchebag. It's like, wait a minute, that's true. He's like, wait a minute, That's. That seems like it came from another douchebag. I must save it. Must save it. Wonder where he got this made. I've got to get one of these things. It's me. I love you. You are loved. Have a wonderful sleep, Zim.

[Ronnie]

You are Zimmed.

[Ben]

You just hug it and it goes boom. You just got jo. Zim.

[Ronnie]

Zim. Zim. Zim.

[Ben]

Zim. You are Zims.

[Ronnie]

It's a very confusing stuffed animal.

[Ellie]

Mommy, what is this animal doing?

[Ronnie]

We don't know.

[Ben]

I am build a bear. I'm returning this. Just told my child that it got Zimmed. Now I don't know what the fuck you think you're.

[Ellie]

Mommy, can we go to Zimbabwe now?

[Ronnie]

Where did you get that idea from?

[Ben]

Mommy, Unicorns are better in Zimbabwe. Now we go.

[Ellie]

It's the land of the unicorn.

[Ben]

It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial.

[Ronnie]

The new year is here. Get back into an at home routine you love and elevate your space with Wayfair.

[Ben]

From bedding and mattresses to storage solutions for every room in the house, Wayfair is your one stop shop.

[Ronnie]

You know, I am so excited to get my home ready for the new season, the new year ahead. I am thinking about stuff for my patio. I'm thinking about ways I can update this little office I'm in right now. And I just love going around and browsing for all the wares and seeing what treasures I can find.

[Ben]

It's really convenient. They have everything our home needs. This season I'm going to be getting some outdoor chairs for my balcony to just sit and chill. And I'm also going to get some pillows because, you know, a color refresh is always good to help the new seasons come in and go get organized.

[Ronnie]

Refreshed and back on track this new year. For way less, head to Wayfair.com right now to shop all things home. That's W A Y F A I r dot com. Wayfair. Every style, every home.

[Ben]

Daisy. Daisy and Jason. And he's handing her CVs and stuff and oh no, he answered the comment cards and she's like, oh God. Oh God, please no. He's like, they're not menus, they're reviews. So just look them over. They're for our guests. You know, they're going into a beautifully designed box. All right? They're locked. They walk off. And a lot of them don't want to tell us what they really feel. So I think this is something that we can look at as a captain and actually analyze where things are moving. Do you understand? I want to know what changes that we can make so I can avoid making them at all costs.

[Ronnie]

And I also want to avoid having to keep an eye out on what changes I don't want to make at any time either. So you guys do it for me. So Jay's like, all right, this is me. This is making me quite anxious. Like, who is it? Well, I mean, it's good pressure. It's good pressure. It's good pressure. I'm nervous. I don't know what these zombie women are going to tell Jason, but, you know, I'm good at reflection, and I think it's a great idea to progress even better. It's a. If it's a good comment, then I get a good comment, and I'm winning. Winning.

[Ben]

So now she hands out all the review forms as the anchor is being lifted. And now the ladies are all sitting for breakfast, and Angie is back with them after her barfing the whole episode last time. So she comes in and she's like, how are you two feeling today? That is the real question. I am Greek. Well, I'm a survivor, and I can deal with a lot of hatred thrown my way, so. And it's interesting because in the Salt Lake City reunion, we find out that one of the reasons that Meredith has been so furious with Britney is because Britney was supporting a hair salon or a nail salon or something in Salt Lake City that was under fire for making really anti semitic comments to a client that went viral. And Brittany wrote them a review, and it was this whole thing. And so Andy was like, well, do you think that Britney is anti Semitic? Is that what you're saying? She's like, well, yes, I do. And I think that she's true. Treated me a certain way on this show, and so I became a big thing. So now watching this all back, you hear Meredith's language in kind of a different way, right? Because she's like, well, I have taken plenty of hatred from this one. You know, she's made a com. A couple comments like that. And so you see it in a different light.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, Yeah, I definitely picked up on that as well. So she's like this pea brain behind me I barely even know, and they start fighting. And he's like, I mean, at the stage, if they weren't fighting, I. I'd generally be worried. I actually think I'd have to pull out the defib. And I'm like, are you alive? Are you okay? Can you hear me?

[Ben]

I'm loving Daisy's. Confessionals this season because she's really animated. She's always been really animated. But have you noticed she's doing bodywork now? She'll be like. I mean, at this stage, if they weren't fighting, I'd genuinely be worried. Like, wow, you're really. You're giving it the shoulders and everything.

[Ronnie]

I love it. She probably always was doing that, but because she was on a sailing boat, she was moving so much because of the boat. It just looked like she was sitting still. I don't know. So Jenna is like. She's like, I think they forgot about every single meal. And Daisies says, well, that's why I don't think they eat. That's why they're so skinny. That's what we should do. We should fight till we forget to eat. It's not a bad idea. So then the boat comes in to dock.

[Ellie]

It's docking, docking, docking. They're doing it. They're gonna dock.

[Ronnie]

And then Brittany's like, she can call.

[Ellie]

Me a pea brain and you can call me a dingbat. Is there any friends here for me? Is there anyone for me? There was like, I'm going to go change, and we need to be packed up and off the boat, because the sooner we're off the boat, the sooner I can go to my hotel room and have sex with Jason.

[Ronnie]

What?

[Ellie]

Did I say that? What?

[Ben]

Well, only haters think that other people are haters, and I'll just leave it at that. Wow. Nice. Final words, which mean nothing. You don't make any sense, Brittany. So the women fill out their review cards, and I think everyone should just say, heather needs to stop fucking screaming.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, that's. That would be. I think all the fish in the sea are saying that right now. So Heather's reading it, and the question is, like, who stood out the most? So she chooses Mike. And then Whitney's like, no, it says, what stood out the most, not who. And so they fill out their cards.

[Ben]

Thank God Whitney's here.

[Ronnie]

I know, right?

[Ben]

The anchor stood out.

[Ronnie]

Best crew ever. Thank you so much for everything. Thanks for having us here. Even though you didn't have Vita Tequila, it was still an amazing, amazing yacht. The kind that I would totally recommend to Ben and Blake.

[Ben]

Are you guys gonna miss us? I know you're gonna miss us. And now they are all hugging the crew. And of course, Jenna loves them, so she's like, I'm going to miss these housewives. Oh, I love the. I love it. Well, we have had a trip of a lifetime, you guys. Absolutely Rose to the occasion. This is a small token of our appreciation, and we want you guys to go out on the town and just do us proud.

[Ronnie]

Like, okay. So they leave, and then Daisy's like, oh, one second. And so she comes back and she brings Uni the Unicorn over to Britney and Whitney's like, does it still work?

[Ellie]

And she's like, no, it's broken. You guys, who do this over. Was it Meredith? And you guys are just trying to cover for her?

[Ben]

Why?

[Ronnie]

And they just walk off. And we know. It's actually kind of fun watching them walk off because we know what shit show they're about to go. And Toronto with that airplane.

[Ben]

Yeah. That begins the next half of the season on Salt Lake City. Daisy's like, oh, finally I can hear myself. I can hear myself think.

[Ronnie]

And you know what my. You know what I'm thinking? Get off the damn boat. So then the crew starts prepping the boat for the next charter. And Jason's. Jason's reading the comment cards. 5 stars. 5 stars. Loved access to the water Lotus toys. More magic mic. What could be improved? Not a damn thing. It's good to hear. So no issues.

[Ben]

Only Heather would want more mic.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, honestly, that's a starved.

[Ben]

Starved lady. Yeah, that is someone who's starving. You know, that is the last dry bagel on the Hyatt Place buffet in the morning.

[Ronnie]

Delicious. Put some powdery scrambled eggs on that one. So, Jason, time for a tip meeting. All right, guys, the first tip meeting of the season. We didn't expect to start off with a crew member down. And there was a professional docking, and the food went out perfect. The service was amazing. There complaints that the cheesecake tasted like cardboard. And turns out you actually served cardboard, so maybe don't do that next time. And this season, we have review cards from all the charter guests, and they get a chance to say what they feel. And in general, five star Mike gets a lot of attention. They said, we love how his hair looks like an Olympic torch. That was absolutely beautiful.

[Ben]

This one says, I did not approve of being called a pea brain. No fair. And fair is spelled F A Y, R. So that's a bit confusing. But you know what? It was just an experiment, so try it again next time.

[Ronnie]

This card says you'll do better next time. Custard domes. Oh, sorry. That one was for me. For Alicia. Apologies.

[Ben]

All right, this one says, need more stains on the mattress for them to be believable. All right, well, try again next time. Did you call.

[Ronnie]

Did you call Mike's hair Olympic torch? Because I feel like as soon as I said that, I was like, wait a second. I think Ronnie.

[Ben]

I think you said it. I was saying he looks like Heat Miser. I think you said Olympic Torture.

[Ronnie]

It's definitely giving.

[Ben]

I think he looks like Troll Doll or like Phyllis Diller or Heat Miser. Something like that. Yeah. I think he said Olympic Torchare.

[Ronnie]

I just really have that in my brain. I don't know why. It's not like they're happening right now.

[Ben]

So he's like, all right, everyone was 100% happy, and this is the best tip that we've ever seen in my life. It's $35,000, right? $35,000, which is crazy. I was.

[Ronnie]

I think there was a tip last. I think last season on Below Deck Med. I think those. The mob wives left a 40K tip.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

Firing right. Weren't we, like, Whoa. But 35 is very, very generous, you know? And we'd expect nothing less from a Bravo, Liberty Scott and Gandha. And also from our onlyfans. That's right. Gay porn stars.

[Ben]

Oh, God. Yeah. I don't. Yeah, I don't know that we'd expect anything from the gay porn stars, but definitely, definitely from Contessa. So they cheer again. And they're rich. Alicia's like, oh, my God, Ben Hu. I had a stressful time and cried every day. Who cares? I'm rich.

[Ronnie]

And he's like, all right, everyone go out tonight. Look after each other. Also, one last thing. Here's the helmet. And we're not gonna use it. All right, so then I didn't like that. You didn't like that no one had the helmet.

[Ben]

No, I think he's playing favoritism because we all know who deserves that helmet is cry pants. Cry, cry. That's who deserved it. She should have had it. He's gonna have to restaff the boat because of her. You know, change around positions because of her. And it should have been her, but he's friends with her now. Off the boat. Favoritism.

[Ronnie]

Favoritism. Yeah. So Ben and Jenna are having a glass of wine while people are getting ready to go out. They're kind of flirting down in the galley. And he's like, I'm a stand up comedian putting globes. And she's like, really? He's like, yes, I am. Where can I watch you? It's a subscription thing. I'll pay it for it. It's fine. Don't you worry. But dum dum cha.

[Ben]

And she's like, usually with older men, they seem like they have their together and they probably have a dog and a house already. There's maturity there, you know, and you won't find that with the 20 year old still cradling next to his mommy. It's become a life mission for me to make you, at least to make you laugh a little bit, you know. Ooh, this crush on Ben is bizarre. You're doing.

[Ronnie]

It won't work out well.

[Ben]

And you're also aiming for, like the upper echelons of like the 1%. So I don't know if that's going to be your aim. Don't just pick somebody because they're old and they probably have, you know, a mortgage. That's not a good enough reason. Trust me, I'm old and I have a mortgage. It's no reason.

[Ronnie]

So everyone's getting ready and Ben sees Joao in shorts. Like, are you wearing jean shorts? He's like, yes, I am. They love that in the eastern hemisphere.

[Ben]

What did I tell you? Stand up all the time. That's me. And Eddie's like, oh, tonight I'm really looking forward to the dance floor. Alicia, the dance floor. Me, I can't wait to pull out my moves. Spoiler alert. They involve thumbs.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. Like in the car, he like. He like pokes her, like pokes from the armpit or something and smells it. So then she smells his armpit and they're like, smells quite nice, actually. And then they get to this.

[Ben]

This is the couple everybody wants to avoid at the Golden Corral. You can just see it.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So they get to this club. It's just basically like three houses in a row. I wonder. I guess I'll just probably have to go to this club every single time because it seems like it's a pretty desolate island. And they order drinks and then Eddie just starts dancing. And it's just mortifying because you just know the local. This feels like it's a club for the locals. And the locals are like, what is this guy doing? Oh, my God. And he's doing this, like, exaggerated dad dance. Like, he's like, he knows he's not a good dancer, so he does that thing where he exaggerates how bad of a dancer he is. And he's like, I love dad dancing. You got the sprinkler, you got the shopping trolley. You know, have a look around. You got the golf swing, you got the lawn mower. There's a hope plethora. And if anyone critiques it, they're wrong because you can't critique dad dancing. I'm like, I can actually. And I want you to stop.

[Ben]

Actually, dad Dancing in itself is a critique. It's called dad Dancing. That's why they call it that. That is the critique, sir. And he literally does do a golf swing. It's like, wow, that's one of his.

[Ronnie]

All the embarrassing things. And Jenna's like, he looks like a bird trying to ruffle his feathers to attract the mate. As opposed to Ben, who just looks like a bird who's just walking down a sidewalk. God's so hot.

[Ben]

God, I love him. He's just so old. I love birds trying to attract a mate. I love those videos. I'm served those all the time because every time I'm served them, I watch them, like 10 times in a row. So they just keep serving them. And they're so funny. I saw one the other day fly up to this little bird, and it just puts one of his wings up at a time and moves his head over and then puts up the other wing and moves his head over, and it just keeps doing it over and over.

[Ronnie]

It's like, yeah, bird dances are crazy. It's like that one bird of bird that's like, in the. The original Planet Earth, there was that one bird that they really, you know, featured big time, where it would just, like, stand there and, like, put its face out big, like, like puffed its feathers out. Let's look like a big oval and, like, dance left and right. Still, somehow they have better dance moves than Eddie, though. So they're dancing and they're like, God, he's really, really bad. And then meanwhile, Jason is on the boat, and he's just watching Salt Lake City for the first time. He's like, all right, let's see what this is all about. And he presses play, and it's like.

[Ben]

You aren't dancing. It's like, oh, wow. Wow. So we go back to Elysian. Eddie is still dancing, and now they're rubbing butts together. She's kind of doing the white girl twerk thing. And then they start kind of white people twerking on each other's butts. And then she says, if she was going to take anybody home, it would probably be Eddie, just so she could hear her mom say, oh, God, you're too good for my girl. That's for sure. Run while you came.

[Ronnie]

Run. Seriously. He goes, you can do whatever you want to me. She goes, I do do whatever I want. He goes, then kiss me. Then he goes off. You can't get. You got. You can't get the wrong opinion. I'm a taken woman. He's like, what? Wait, what?

[Ben]

I've got a boyfriend. You're taking it too deep. Have you not heard my confessionals about Whistler?

[Ronnie]

She says, I met my boyfriend in Whistler in a bar in Canada, and he was standing on the chair dancing, and he pulled me up and he said, you're right, darling. You want a drink? And that was that. Really? Turns out standing on a chair on a mountain in Canada was really hot for me. So he knows. But Eddie knows that I'm like, really, really flirty because, well, my boyfriend knows I'm really, really flirty because we've only been together for two months. And for the record, with Eddie, I did think about it. It did cross my mind.

[Ellie]

But unless you've got a chair, I'm not getting up there.

[Ronnie]

That's my motto.

[Ben]

He's like, well, there's flirtiness and then there's not flirty. She's giving out mixed signals. Yeah, and also danceless.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, you're giving out dad signals right now. Also, I think that the whole she's giving out mixed signals is kind of a. I don't think we say that anymore. I think that's a pretty retrograde thing. I mean, I was surprised for sure, but at that point, you say, oh, okay, and you move on.

[Ben]

Yeah. So I don't know. He seems. He seems fine. He seems harmless. He's at least respectful, you know, I mean, I'm used to below deck guys. So I was like, well, at least he backed off when she told her.

[Ronnie]

He did. He did. He did the right thing. I'm just saying, like, that was always like, she's given up mixed signals was always like the. The phrase for sexual harassers for decades on end. And like. But what, What? Of course I put my. My hand on her ass.

[Ellie]

She was giving out mixed signals.

[Ronnie]

So when he said that, I was like, well, for sure, I feel you.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Alicia's like, I'm giving my lips where they need to be. Around a burger or some sausages. No, not those kinds of sausages. I'm taking woman. Cameraman. Oh, God. So we leave the bar.

[Ronnie]

Giving out a few.

[Ben]

Maybe. I guess we just need to come up with a different term for it. I mean, I don't know. So they leave the bar and they go back to the boat, and some people go to bed, some people go to the hot tub, and it's time to play shag, marry, kill, which is normally a pretty innocent game. Although nobody really wants to be told that they're the one that's married. You know, like, I want to marry him. Like, he seems like the one I can cheat on, or. I don't know. I feel like that's the most complimentary one.

[Ronnie]

It's a tricky game. I've seen enough Love island seasons to know that this one could go awry, you know, because, yes, no one. People want to be the one that gets kissed, but marriage is actually the higher compliment. And I've seen so many times where the guy chooses the one that he really likes for marriage, and then, like, she gets really mad about it. So you have to tread delicately.

[Ben]

I feel like marriage is a backhanded compliment because they're saying, like, don't want to you, but you probably will take care of me the best. Like, you'd pay the bills, but I don't want to you. That's how I take that on. Right.

[Ronnie]

But it really should be the other way, which is like, wow, you're actually so great that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And this person is just like an empty kiss. But people, of course, see it the other way around.

[Ben]

Everybody wants to want to be.

[Ronnie]

You know, everyone wants just be the kiss. Like, you want to give away everything, and you're. You will sacrifice everything for that kiss. And marriage, People see, marriage is like, sure, I'll have a humdrum existence with you, where we go to the store. Exactly.

[Ben]

So it's a very delicate Netflix shows as you. Because otherwise you'll have a fit.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, it's a delicate game because you really have to get inside the other person's head in terms of what they think of marriage and kissing. So there's more sophistication to it. But what I would not expect would be a full meltdown about chef camaraderie, which is exactly what happens next. Oh. So Daisy. I know Daisy starts this off, and she's like, okay, well, I'm gonna kill Ben. He's like, you'd kill me? Really? It's like, yes. I'm gonna put in, like, a really good way where I would go up to you, and I put my hand on your shoulder. I said, you die now. And she goes, oh, okay. Well, I suppose I'll take that. So.

[Ben]

Oh. And I do it really painfully and slowly too. And that's Alicia saying that. And by the way, she's got the biggest glass of wine I've ever seen that she's chugging through this whole thing. So she's getting wasted, and Daisy would Marry Mike. Because I feel like I could get you to do anything. I mean, look at you. Basically, I just have you put your head down and walk around a banister. It would be dusted in two seconds. And Mike's like, well, at least I'm not a one night stand.

[Ronnie]

And Daisy's like, I don't think I'd fuck Jenna. Cause I think she'd give great head because we've got each other. And Alicia's like, well, I'd shake Mike. I'd marry you, Joao, and I'd kill you, Ben. I've had time to think about this. He's like, what? Really? You know what? You know what? Toffee face. I wouldn't kill myself in spite of you.

[Ben]

Listen here, stevia stub. I wouldn't let you kill me, and I wouldn't kill myself. Like, what? That doesn't even make any sense. And he's like, well, I wouldn't let myself be killed just to spite you. How about that one? They're like, it's kind of awkward.

[Ronnie]

Okay. It's like, all right, well, here we go. Chef camaraderie. You wouldn't know about that, would you, Chef camaraderie? What are you talking about? This is some of that. That Chef they do on Top Chef. You know, where they act like they're in, like, the Vietnam War. Chef camaraderie. We all go down together.

[Ben]

She's like, no, I don't know what that is. Well, you might learn it one day. You might just learn it one day. Daisy's like, all right, get back into your thoughts. You're being a dick now. Well, I'm not gonna be chef ever, so what do I care? And he's like, oh, you know what? Well, that's weird. Cause on your CV it says chef. So what about that? What about that? Cotton candy cups.

[Ronnie]

Stop it.

[Ellie]

So I should just foot around your feelings?

[Ronnie]

Foot. That's a good one. Wish I'd come up with that one also.

[Ellie]

No, it's an actual verb.

[Ronnie]

Okay, fine, fine, fine. Marmalade nubs. Let's be funny and just say, I want to kill my department head. How do you like that? Oh, kill the department head.

[Ellie]

Because no, it's shagbury. Kill. Grow up.

[Ben]

Oh, really? Is it Coco Cuticles. It's all funny games to you, isn't it? And everyone's confused because he's really mad. And now he's yelling. And Alicia's like, it's a fucking game. I don't want to fuck anyone. I don't want to fucking kill anyone. I mean, let's just get out of your own fucking head, why don't you? I mean, Mr. Ben, if you want me to shake your hand and say I'm sorry for the comment, I'll do that. We were playing a fucking game. Oh, really? Do I have a chance of your camaraderie? Yes or no? Yes or no?

[Ronnie]

Because he's putting his hand out and then. Or she's putting her hand out, and then he won't. I don't know. There's this whole thing.

[Ben]

Yeah, he won't say. She's trying to shake his hand.

[Ronnie]

She's like, I just put my hand at me. He's like, do you have my back for the rest of the season? Butter biscuits.

[Ellie]

I just said yes a million times. I'm shaking your hand. I'm shaking it.

[Ronnie]

Do you. Do you have my back for the season?

[Ellie]

She's like, yes, yes. Do you have my back? Yes, I do. Well, shake my hand.

[Ronnie]

Everyone's like, what is happening?

[Ben]

All right, then. I'm glad we cleared that up. I'm glad. And he's talking to Daisy quietly because he's sitting next to her in the hot tub. He's like, I didn't think that was very funny. It's like, oh, come on, Ben. It's just work. Remember? It's just work. He's like. And then he has this breakdown, and he's like, I'm just more sensitive because everyone's just let me down. That's why I was meant to get married last year, and I caught up. She'd been seeking one of my friends for a very long time, and I spent 50k on a wedding I didn't attend. And that's why I'm more sensitive. I lack faith in humanity.

[Ronnie]

I'm sensitive now. Yes. Sad story. But, like, so ridiculous. It's just so. I'm sensitive. You cannot play Mary Kill with me in this date. Molasses bits.

[Ben]

Well, it could have been shag, marry, or cheat on. So, yeah, you know, I feel like they were being pretty sensitive with you, actually. Well, guys, this has been extremely dramatic and extremely wrenching to watch Chef Ben feel things, especially after seeing how he treats women in general on this. I really can't feel bad for Ben because I want to know her side first before I feel bad for you. I need to hear her side. But before we go on any further, I think it's time that we commemorate something very special on Watch what Crappens. It's our third recap of the year. And we have not done this yet. So it is time to bring back the fish report. The fish report.

[Ronnie]

Very fun.

[Ben]

Now, this is the fish report. These are the fish from last week. So they were very good. So I didn't want to let a week pass without commemorating the very special fish of episode two. So let's get going, shall we?

[Ronnie]

Ben, let's take a look. We got a shark going on here.

[Ben]

Got a shark. We've got a very menacing shark here.

[Ronnie]

Big shark episode last week. Yeah.

[Ben]

And this is. This is the frowny shark. See, look at that frown.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, low angle. Really can see it's dental work. I think it's time for some veneers, let's be honest.

[Ben]

Yeah, you've been on Bravo long enough that you should have some big old veneers, sir. There's no excuse for this.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, it's so. It must. It must be weird to go through life with your nostrils kind of looking like your eyeballs, huh? It's like, I can see you down there. Just kidding. Those are my nostrils. I do it to everyone.

[Ben]

Yeah, but they do look like eyes on a frowny face. Or if you look at it as a smiley face, they look like just like kind of moles on a chin.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. You know what's funny about this shark? It kind of, when you look at it from down below, it just sort of looks like an oven mitt, you know, like. Okay, hey, hey, everyone stay back. I'll get that pan for you, okay? I'm equipped for it.

[Ben]

This is why this shark is a bottom. Because it's like, I do not want to be seen from below. Please just do not look at it. It's not my best angle. No, I do not like it in my butt. But I also don't like to be seen from below. So I just take it.

[Ronnie]

She's also a bit of a diva because look. Totally found his light, right? It's like, okay, okay, predator. Way to be stealthy. You're just in the light right now, shining on your back, alerting everyone of your presence. Good job.

[Ben]

And also, don't give a fuck. Looking at this. I don't know how a shark ever loses weight because you're constantly just walking around with food, you know, like in my kitchen, I don't have anything out on the counters because I'll eat it. I mean, I don't even care if it's like a gerbil, I'll eat it. So to just be walking around where There's M&M's floating all over the place and flying right at you. How can you stop?

[Ronnie]

And, like, also, why don't you snack on them? Like, why do you, like, come after us humans when we're just trying to frau. When you have snacks all around? Okay, just like, if you graze on your little fish that you're around all day long, you probably would be content.

[Ben]

Well, it also kind of makes sense if you look at it that way, because we're putting our hand on their plate. And if we're in a restaurant and you get your fucking hand on my french fry without me knowing, you're going to lose a hand. So I kind of see where sharks are coming from, actually. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

I feel like the shark is late to the party. It's like, guys, I'm here. Finished watching Love Island. Oh, I didn't realize I'd be this late. Okay, okay, well, fine.

[Ben]

All right, so that's a little sharky. And then we move on to this gorgeous thing. Oh, my gosh. This thing is dressed up and ready to go. Is that a fossil or what? Is it a. It looks like it. What is that?

[Ronnie]

It looks. Is it coral? Is it a sc. Is it a giant scallop shell? It might be. You know those giant scallop shells that, like, open up and. And close, you know, like this. You know, I'm talking about, like, giant clams. I think it might be a giant clam. You know, I'll look up a giant clam.

[Ben]

I don't know what it is, but I think it's kind of like a glory hole of the sea, because look at this.

[Ronnie]

I think it's a giant clam.

[Ben]

I think it's a glory hole.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. I mean, the thing is, you don't see a seam, and I don't know if the giant clams are necessarily red. Let's see. Giant clam.

[Ben]

Clams look like that.

[Ronnie]

Oh, I think it's a giant clam.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Ellie]

Look up.

[Ronnie]

Giant clams. They're. They're like enormous. Giant clams are, like, enormous, and they have that zigzag thing. It just. Yeah, it must be like. But it was weird that it has that hole, the glory hole, as you mentioned.

[Ben]

Yeah, I'll look up. I'll look up clams, and you look up glory holes, and then let's see who's right. Let's just wait and see if a penis pops through here.

[Ronnie]

Let's just wait. Yeah. Very sexually coded language.

[Ben]

Here it is. So now we go to whatever fish this is. This is a crazy fish, and I like that it's like, I don't have to do anything because I look like the wall.

[Ronnie]

So this. This fish was like. I, like, knows that clownfish are like the chic ones. So this one's like, I went to the doctor and I had a procedure done to look like a clownfish, but didn't quite work out. It's like, guys, I'm a clownfish. I'm so chic, right? I'm like a clownfish. They're like, it is trying to get.

[Ben]

The plastic surgery to look like a celebrity, and it just never works out. Like that guy who paid millions of dollars to look like Justin Bieber, and he looks like Barney Rubble. Like, what? Yeah, Where'd the money go?

[Ronnie]

Look at its sad eye. You just know, Fran, the fish over here is like. So I got the clownfish done. It was actually very. It wasn't very invasive. And it took me three days to recover. And now I'm here. I am.

[Ben]

Where are the photographers? It's Nemo. It's me, Nemo. He's standing outside of Craig's, like, come on, anybody take my picture?

[Ronnie]

This fish is going straight to Hollywood Boulevard of the sea to have tourists take pictures with it.

[Ellie]

Guys, look, we got a picture with Nemo.

[Ronnie]

This is a stupid one.

[Ben]

Oh, okay. Then we go to a beautiful coral. I mean, this is just a stunning coral. And then we go to Mike's hair. No, it's not Mike's hair. That's Eddie. Okay. Oh, here's what. We're looking at. This. Now look at this jellyfish. Oh, my gosh. It actually does look like Mike's hair, actually. If you look at it, it does.

[Ronnie]

It looks like a chef's toque, but like a fabulous fuchsia version.

[Ben]

This is gorgeous.

[Ronnie]

I'm a chef's hat. And I took a little bit of the chef's hair with me.

[Ben]

This is wearing fringe because I feel like jellyfish usually are kind of a glob of a thing. And this one has tassels.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, it's very much like a jellyfish ballroom dancer.

[Ben]

It actually looks like Amanda Francis dress from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where she's talking about her Malibu Barbie manifestation. Yeah, I just put Amanda Francis head right here.

[Ronnie]

Beautiful colors.

[Ben]

It was beautiful. Okay, let's go up the turtle. Lots of turtles, guys. This turtle does not give a fuck. He's like, I'm falling. I don't care. I don't care.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, this turtle is. I hope it's wearing deodorant. That's all I gotta say.

[Ben]

You know, when that baby from that album cover, it was like a naked baby.

[Ronnie]

Nirvana.

[Ben]

Yeah. And then grew up and sued the band because it was like I was just a baby. I didn't consent. The turtle was like, I'll do it. Mm. This is. That. This is a recreation. He's like, fucking baby's complaining. I'll do it.

[Ronnie]

Turtle's like, bloop, bloop.

[Ellie]

Well, lots of rope. Bloop is contagious. Bloop, bloop. He went on to bloop, bloop, bloop. Dangerous.

[Ben]

And on and on and on.

[Ronnie]

Like, okay, stop it, Turtle.

[Ben]

So now we see. Oh, now this thing is. Look at that. Hold on, let me go back a little bit. This thing is a disease. I mean, this looks like. This looks like a disease, whatever this is. But look at all these little shrimp on top of it. They're having the disease. They're like, fuck, yeah.

[Ronnie]

Those shrimp. Those shrimp. Those are like shrimp. They got like. They got, like, a move in special at the new condo. They're like, we saw the model we just had to buy. You could see they're all on the different balconies. You're going to have some friends over later. Maybe. They'd be like, guys, come over. We have a great view of the fireworks on July 4th. You just have to come over.

[Ben]

This is when you're getting itchy and you go get an STD test and they put it under the microscope. They're like, this is why you should be careful who you're sleeping with. This is what's happening.

[Ronnie]

Maybe this structure is just at a concert and a really powerful song is playing. They've all taken out their cell phones or just swaying with it. They're showing the lights like, that's Beyonce.

[Ben]

We love you.

[Ronnie]

Beyonce's singing Halo. And they're all like, yes, I can see your halo. Halo. The shrimp are like, let me get on top. I can't see.

[Ben]

Okay, and now we go to my favorite. I think fish is this guy right here who, you know, has the bathroom key. This is a fish that you're like, can I get the bathroom key? And our. You just went, yeah.

[Ronnie]

I don't know if that's a grouper. It might be a grouper, but whatever it is, like, there's that certain style of fish that's just so classically big ol fish. The big old fish lips that underbite the face that's just like. You know what? I once looked beautiful.

[Ben]

I was pretty once.

[Ronnie]

Kids, I took. I took human for shakati. To the prom once. That's right. I asked him. I was ahead of my time. I was a feminist, and I like that.

[Ben]

It just kind of side eyes the camera, too. It's like, what, you got a problem with me? Look how his eyes are moving at the camera. It's like, yeah, whatever.

[Ronnie]

It sort of is like, yeah. It's got some of the stripes of a moray eel, that's for sure.

[Ben]

Oh, now we get these little cute hamburglar fish. I love these. They're just like, oh.

[Ronnie]

Oh.

[Ben]

Found a wheelbarrow at the bottom of the ocean. Maybe there's a hamburger near it. Maybe there's a hamburger near it.

[Ronnie]

Kelly, it's an anchor. How many times have to tell you? I'm sick of it. I'm sick of you just spreading lies about wagons. Our adventures are not that exciting. It's just an anchor.

[Ben]

Oh, so I can't put a bunch of hamburgers on here and wheel it out? We'll see about that.

[Ronnie]

Well, you could try, but you're not going to get very far because it's an anchor.

[Ben]

You're an anchor.

[Ronnie]

But you know what you are? You're a nuisance, and we never even invited you to be part of this group. It was just Shelby did, and Shelby left the group, and now we're stuck with you, and we're not happy about it.

[Ben]

Just walk away. Just walk away. I'm going. Geez. Okay, now we go to. Oh, this thing's beautiful. It looks like a leaf that got dropped and just kept growing. It's so pretty. I mean, the interior design in this ocean is great. I think that's why I'm pointing this one out.

[Ronnie]

This is a great. This is a great touch here. Yeah.

[Ben]

So this is why you guys, the pull out. And this is why the pull out method doesn't work. Look at this. Look how many of these things there are.

[Ronnie]

Look. I'd like to point out that. Beautiful. If you go forward a little bit to the school of fish. Look at that. They're all. First of all, this is all. The fish are going one way. They're like, okay, gotta get to work. And then this one is like, I work from home. That's why I'm dressed down. I'm in my purple sweatpants.

[Ben]

I don't care what they say. I'm not going into that damn office. I'll zoom.

[Ronnie]

I'll zoom the whole thing going the opposite direction.

[Ben]

They're like, you can't zoom. Last time you zoomed, you were jerking off on the thing. We caught You. He's like, oh, damn it. It's the. What was that guy's name? That news guy jerking off. Remember he got caught?

[Ronnie]

Jeffrey Toobin.

[Ben]

Yeah, he's like the Jeffrey Toobin fish. Like, no more. You've ended work from home for everybody. You're coming too. Not literally. Tubing fish.

[Ronnie]

A lot of fuchsia elements in the fish today. Fish report today.

[Ben]

Yeah. Then we go to some kind of coral reef thing made out of churros, which look delicious. And then we go to these little yellow fish. I like that.

[Ronnie]

Nice. They're very nice.

[Ben]

They like shade. They're like, we can't go in the sun. Like, we can't go in the sun.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. They're having a social. Yeah.

[Ben]

Then some more little fish just swimming around. This one's really pretty. I just loved the.

[Ronnie]

I feel like I got startled. It's like, ah, just gonna settle in for a nap right now. And, oh, geez, my watch is still on. Those vibrations get me every time.

[Ben]

Why are you telling me to stand? I'm in bed. I'm in bed.

[Ronnie]

Just gonna settle in. Just get a little. Just like a ten minute cat nap.

[Ben]

Oh, God.

[Ellie]

Amber alert.

[Ronnie]

Oh, my God. How you turn these things off? I don't know who the person is in the Greg Silver Toyota.

[Ben]

Then we go. Now this fish is this one. What is this fish? This fish is going to kick our ass. This fish is like, you want a piece of me? You want to. What are you looking at? What are you looking at? You want a piece of me? You new to the neighborhood? You new to the neighborhood? Do not knock on my door for sugar. You ain't going to get it.

[Ronnie]

Elise is not happy. She's like, excuse you. I want you to move your car. This spot is reserved.

[Ben]

Remember, I'm your neighbor. I said you couldn't borrow any sugar. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to bug you, but do you have any foundation I could wear? I've got a bad breakout. Really bad.

[Ronnie]

You see this ball? I keep it now. I keep it. I'm sick of having to retrieve it from my yard.

[Ben]

This is the neighbor that's giving you judgmental looks. It's just like, ooh. Every time you leave their house, they're like, ooh, where's it going now? Ooh.

[Ronnie]

I didn't even notice that. There's a whole group of fish to the right. They're like, oh, my God, look at Elise. She's mad again.

[Ben]

Elise just told us our trash cans are too close to the curb again.

[Ronnie]

Elise Is now that I see that there's all these little fish over there, Elise is sort of giving judgy crossy Garda vibes. Like, stop. We have children crossing the street. Stop.

[Ben]

I want to run them over too. But you know what? This is society and that's not what we do. Stop your car. Important in these children's lives.

[Ronnie]

There are children at play. Okay, slow down. You'll get to where you're going. Just slow down.

[Ben]

Okay. So then I think, that's the same fish from the side. Look how much cuter she is from the side. You're like, oh, my God, look at my hot neighbor passing. Yeah, it's me. Oh, geez.

[Ronnie]

Her butt is also her ponytail. I love it.

[Ben]

Oh, God.

[Ronnie]

I left something on in the oven.

[Ben]

Now we have this little turtle. I just like seeing that turtles are also self conscious about their weight because look at this turtle eating. It's like, I'll have one blade of grass and I'll be happy with that. All I need.

[Ronnie]

You do all that diving just to get a blade of grass. Come on now.

[Ben]

My fitness pal is already full for the day. I've literally had one blade of grass.

[Ronnie]

I also feel like I've seen so many nature documentaries that are about the perilous developmental stages of little baby sea turtles and how they're. The eggs are hatched and they have to cross across roads and across the beach and then birds come to try to eat them and it's like a miracle that they even get into the ocean. I'm like, you do all that for this? Just have a piece of grass?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

You could have stayed on land for that.

[Ben]

This is what I got. I'm a lawn mower. I won.

[Ronnie]

There's the grouper. This is the much sexier version, the orange version. Yeah.

[Ben]

This fish is just like, stop looking at me. Get out of here. Stop. I won't look at it. It's like I said, stop looking me. Stop looking at me, I said.

[Ronnie]

That's rude.

[Ben]

Come right up to the camera.

[Ronnie]

Get the out of here. Beautiful eyeball.

[Ben]

All right, then we get another school. Then we get another little shark. This one's, you know, just like a bottom feeding shark, a little more generic. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

It's actually kind of cuddly.

[Ben]

Yeah. Is that the same? This isn't the same shark. This is different.

[Ronnie]

I don't know.

[Ben]

It's a cute shark.

[Ronnie]

That other. The other one is. That other fish is like, oh, shit. Oh, shit, there's a shark next to me. Oh, shit. Let's see.

[Ellie]

Oh, Shit.

[Ronnie]

I'm gonna get away. I'm gonna go. Why is there a light down here anyway, by the way?

[Ellie]

I was supposed to be cloaked to darkness, so can you turn that thing off? Thank you.

[Ben]

Yeah. This little shark's just too young to know why everybody hates him. It's like, I just want to play mom. Why can't I have friends? Why? And now snakes in the ocean. There's a lot of snakes in the ocean. That's scary.

[Ronnie]

A snake bit someone on Survivor last season. It was wild.

[Ben]

Wow. That's. I don't want to concentrate on the snakes because they scare me. I like these just basic red fish. They're making no effort. They're like, I don't care. I'm going walking in the neighborhood. I'm just. I'm. I'm. This is how I look. That's it. Not one of these people who's got to go out in a cute little ponytail and a full face of makeup, okay? It's just fucking there.

[Ronnie]

Exercise. The one in the center, like, just went through some shit. It's like, you don't know what I've seen.

[Ben]

Why the long face, buddy?

[Ronnie]

I know. It's, like, so sad, like, okay, is everyone ready for Mardi Gras? Not me.

[Ben]

Every day is Fat Tuesday in this house.

[Ronnie]

I think I just need to go home right now.

[Ben]

Well, okay.

[Ronnie]

Well, guess what. You are home. Look at this. And look at this eel coming up.

[Ben]

This eel is terrifying. Oh.

[Ronnie]

I guarantee this eel does not want to be seen from this angle. I'll tell you that much. It's like, okay, just gonna go around the coral. No one's looking at my ass, right?

[Ben]

And then we get Jason's basic goldfish, who are like, let us out of here. We're captive. Why would you hold us in jail? We're in the ocean. Please let us go. I'm sorry for whatever we did.

[Ellie]

I want to be with where the eel was.

[Ben]

Can I have a bathroom key? Can I have a bathroom key? Can I have a bathroom key? This little one down here. I swear, I gotta go. I gotta go.

[Ronnie]

That one is, like, really ruining the mission. Like, the. The main one is like, guys, we need to make a sincere plea to Captain Jason, and maybe he'll release us. And the little one's like, I kind of like him.

[Ellie]

Want to do some tricks for him?

[Ben]

That man refuses to do anything in leadership. I love it. Okay? And then we go to this turtle who's special because look how this turtle loves the camera. I love a camera.

[Ronnie]

Whore.

[Ben]

It's like, hey, hey. Wow.

[Ronnie]

That turtle doing a wow catching. Woo. It's like, see ya. I wouldn't want to be. It's actually really doing the high five.

[Ellie]

Psych. I'm going to keep on swimming. High five.

[Ronnie]

No.

[Ben]

How cute. I love him. All right, that's that for fair. Yeah. He's like, armpit fetish. Okay. No. Okay, I'll try again. I'll go back to the glory hole.

[Ronnie]

Has anyone seen Elise.

[Ben]

And the fish report? All right, thank you, fish. Great job. Okay, so now we come back to Ben has just finished crying and is going to bed. So everybody decides to go to bed because this was a train wreck. And then Mike goes to Daisy's cabin and he's like, daisy, can I get a little kiss? And she's like, no, no.

[Ronnie]

What do you think?

[Ben]

She's walking. She's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Ronnie]

So now it's the next morning and Jenna is asking if Alicia is okay, and she's like, I just feel disgusted with myself that I just had a.

[Ellie]

Full blown war with my header department. I've got to go.

[Ronnie]

I had this big dream to be the big chef, but Ben is a challenge and the galley is a challenge. And I also can't tell the difference between salt and pepper. My mom said I'm not cut out to be a chef, and I agree. So I don't know. Alicia's little journey is so ridiculous.

[Ben]

Yeah. Now we go to Mike and Eddie, and Eddie's like, oh, I had a chat with Lisa last night. She was, oh, no. Eddie's like, I had a chat with Lisa last night. She was flirty and I was like, if you have a boyfriend, just break up with him. You know, I went full sprint for that one. Full sprint.

[Ronnie]

Well, what are you going to do on deck, mate? What about that? And Mike is like, well, I'm a Dex do. Who knows what I got to do. And Joe's like, Joao's like, well, I heard only Dex do. That's all I heard. And so Mike is basically like, give me more jobs, etc. So then Jenna wakes up and she's like, are you looking forward to working with Alicia today? I don't think it should have gone as well kicked off the way it got how it kicked off. So you should go apologize. He's like, no, well, Ben. This is Ben she's talking to. So what you're saying is that Alicia was a total disgrace, but in order to keep the peace, I should be the bigger person to butterscotch nostrils. I'm up for it. Did anyone want to kill you, though? Just want to ask.

[Ben]

By the way, he's sleeping in the guest cabins because he was crying. So he was crying, and he's like, can I sleep at the guest cabins then? And Daisy's like, all right, you can sleep in the guest cabins tonight, Because I know you're really upset. So I think this is going to become something that he does every night now because he's cried and he's wormed his way into the gust cabin. So she's sitting on his bed in there, and she's like, well, I want to lie. No one would kill me. And he goes, you were all kind of nice, aren't you? And she tells us, I've never met a person like Ben. You know, it's like, I don't know how you say, like, maybe cuckoo, but I feel like people don't understand him. And he's a good person. You just have to filter through all the layers. No, no, you don't. We've all been this girl. No, don't.

[Ronnie]

No.

[Ben]

Marry a mess because you can just clean it up. It's not a soda that's spilled on a movie theater floor.

[Ronnie]

Okay, listen, fudgy Knuckles. They call me Seesaw Benny. I won't go to a park without a seesaw. Like, I think they probably don't. I think they call you Seesaw Betty not because you're an essential part of the park, but because you're very up and down.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's what he's saying. He's like, I'm Seesaw Betty. I won't even go to a park without a seesaw.

[Ronnie]

Oh.

[Ben]

And she goes, you still go to parks?

[Ronnie]

He's like, I totally misread that. I thought he was saying that. They were like, can't. Never mind. It's not even worth it. Let's go back to the fish report, shall we? Right.

[Ben]

Let's just stay on the fish report forever. So then we go to cleaning. Everybody's cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. And Jason's in the galley with Alicia again. He's like, how are you? She's like, well, I was thinking, you know, I was thinking, like, with the stewardess down, maybe I could switch over. And he's like, but I've already called a new stewardess two days ago, so you're going to have to. And she's like, no, but I'm telling you right now, it won't work for a whole season. So either we need to find a new sue and I step down or I become a stewardess and stay on the boat. Okay, bye.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, bye. That's what I would say.

[Ben]

Bye.

[Ronnie]

Bye. I think Ben is perfectly fine without a sous chef for the moment. He could probably go a charter without a SOU because he basically did that as it is. So Jason's like, well, I was hoping she would come through and be willing to learn, but she's running, and at some point, she's gonna have to learn to stay. Yeah, maybe, but this won't be the area where she's gonna learn it. So Jason's like, well, I need a galley hand, someone to help Ben. Let's find the best solution for all of us. Okay. So then Daisy is gathering the people around, and. And Mike is like, so, did I try to kiss you before I went to bed last night? Yeah, dad, don't screw the crew. And I'm your boss. Don't screw your boss either. It's like, that would be awkward if I screwed the boss. I'll have to wait for her after the work. Then she's like, don't even laugh about that. I've been down this path before. It's not good.

[Ben]

Yeah, I don't hook up with people in my department. It's just not smart. And I certainly not hook up with somebody who loves their hair more than they love me.

[Ronnie]

You need to go. So now we're in the mess now with Jason and Daisy. And Daisy is saying that, like, Alicia and Ben went for each other really badly last night. She's like, I went from 0 to 100. It's like, well, I want her to stay, but I've. I've worked with her before, and I know. I know who off the boat as well. I met her sister in Sydney, too. Gave her a kimono. Well, I personally don't think that they can do the season together. This is gonna keep it going and taken away from their service and then hinder the guest food. And she fits in great with the crew, and I'm happy for her to join my team if you want.

[Ben]

He's like, well, I've already got a stewardess coming in. She's already flying, so maybe I'll just ring her up and see if she likes cooking. I'm disappointed in Alicia. She can't toughen up for a while. But you know what? Who cares? Food's not important. Food rules aren't important. Training's not important. Let's just get. Let's just get it made in there. Are there no standards? I mean, are There no classes that you have to go to to. To cook on a yacht.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. So Jason calls the stew, and her name is written in his phone as Stu, which I thought was funny. And he's like, all right, well, I've got a problem here. My sue is leaving, and I'll need someone in the galley so I can move her into the new position and move you into the galley, if you're comfortable with that. What I'm trying to say is, I know you are coming on as a second stew, but I'd like to demote you to a sous chef in a department that you have no interest in whatsoever. How do you feel about that? Is that something that you would do.

[Ellie]

Squished in the bo?

[Ben]

Yeah. I was surprised that I didn't recognize her voice because I loved the season with her and Brie fighting. I thought that was so funny. And we did her voice enough that I thought, wow, I would recognize that. But she's not talking in her regular voice. She's talking in her pleasing other people fake voice that she uses right up front. And she's like, gali. I don't have much experience in the gali with Mimi.

[Ellie]

That is an ellipsis.

[Ben]

So she was using her fakie voice. So I didn't hear it. I was like, who is this gonna be? So then Joao is talking to Batul and he's like, so, did you have a good sleep? And she goes, I had crazy dreams about Cats again. Yes, I like that. That's Betul's runner, that she's always having crazy dreams about Cats, the musical, specifically.

[Ronnie]

She's like, I had dream of Tyre. I was lifted up from. From the yacht on tire and sent off to the stage, to the ceiling. I don't understand.

[Ben]

Mike drops the glass. Then he drops another glass. He's a mess. And now it's preference sheet meeting charter too. But meanwhile, Eddie passes Alicia in the galley and he's like, do we still have chill, sexy vibes after last night? Want to see that golf move again? Swing? She's like, chill, sexy vibes forever. I appreciate you.

[Ronnie]

So they've been trying to blow deck, has been trying to make the preference sheet meeting some sort of sassy, exciting thing. They've. They've changed it up. They've used to be just the. The heads of department. Then it became like each department would have a meeting. And now they've changed it up again. We're back to heads of department, but we've got a whole brand new crazy thing, which is Jason introduces the Primaries. Christian and his wife Annette were real estate investors and former ballroom dancers, and they have elite polo friends and are no strangers to luxury. And then out of nowhere, we suddenly head to Greenwich, Connecticut, to go into the world of Annette and Christian. And it's like, wow, we're getting, like, backstory on the guests. I actually kind of liked it. I'm not gonna lie. I felt weird. Like, part of me. I'm a traditionalist. I do enjoy just seeing the pieces of paper with their pictures and making judgments based off the pictures. But I don't know. I mean, I thought, like, if they're ever gonna do this, why not start with this lady who decided to powder her face like it was 1873 in Greenwich, Connecticut?

[Ben]

Why does she look like she has consumption in a whorehouse in Oliver Twist? Like, what is happening? What is going on? She looks crazy.

[Ronnie]

You're right.

[Ben]

She's all pale, and then she has, like, rouge on her cheeks. And she's got some weird white ball gown type thing and a necklace. But she's packing a picnic. And so we find out she's packing a picnic for polo. And she loves luxury. So she's packing caviar and bagels. That's right, you guys. And then her husband's, you know, like, really overplaying the whole thing. And she's like, I've got caviar, creme fraiche, white champagne, and just pack it, honey. Pack it. And they've got these really gigantic fluffy cats.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. And Annette tells us our last super yacht experience was in Greece last year. I left my favorite down pillow in the hotel, and the owner dropped us off, then returned to Athens to get my pillow. Can you believe it, lady? You're rich. Just get a new down pillow. Get a new favorite down pillow. Don't you have, like, your receipt from Amazon? Can't you say order again? I mean, what's going on here?

[Ben]

That wasn't Amazon. That was some, like, fancy pillow she got from some special store from somewhere. You know, new money. She's like, I searched forever for this one pillow. Yeah. Yike. So, yeah, she seems annoying as. And so does her husband.

[Ronnie]

Yay. Yes. So they are celebrating their. Their friends on this 50th birthday. So they. Christian says that they are getting married on 11. They got married on 11. 11, 11. So they wouldn't forget, which sounds great until you can't remember if you got married on 10. 10. 10 or 12. 12. 12. And I'm saying this because I went to someone's wedding that was on, I think 10, 10, 10. But I literally cannot remember if it was 10, 10, 10, or 11. 11, 11, 12. 12, 12. Although wasn't it Cynthia Bailey who got married on 10, 10, 10, I think, didn't she?

[Ben]

So. But that seems like.

[Ronnie]

So 10, 10, go right. 20, 20. No, she was 20, 20.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ronnie]

The point is, you're not immune from confusion when you have all the same numbers.

[Ben]

So then Jason is like, all right, now let's talk about the elephant in the room. That lady looks dead. Am I right? All right, let's also talk about staffing. So we've got some personality problems in the galley. And listen, if Alicia is not 100% committed, it'll tarnish your input, and her sister will be mad at me, and that is the danger in getting to know somebody's sister off the boat. Now she wants the stewardess and the crew. She wants to move to stewardess. And the new girl said that she'll love to learn, so she'll come to the galley. Ben's like, would it be better if we gave Pudding Pout one more chance, one more charter in the kitchen? And Daisy, no, because I've got to train two new stews, and I can't be training a new stew every week.

[Ronnie]

That's right. The move might not work either. Yeah, well, we'll see who the problem was. Also joking. Not really. Which Daisy loves us. Be like, we're gonna prove to Ben that he's the piece of here. So Jason's like, okay, I want to correct any issues there. So if you can tone it down, Ben, that would be great. He's like, wait a second. I'm looking at this picture. I know this girl. I know butter shins. Ben's like, wait a second. He's like, mom's the word, right? Because I wrote to her two weeks ago on Instagram because I really liked her page. And we see pictures of this dude's body, but we don't see her head. And it's just, like, all abs and arms and limbs and boobs and, like, hotness. And we can only imagine what sort of messages Ben sent her.

[Ben]

Well, here's the thing. I know this girl. I liked her Instagram page a couple of weeks ago, came upon it. Love the things that she has in this scantily clad. And then we see the pictures, and it's like someone in a thong doing, like, a backbend, and it's like, they're hard abs. I cannot believe I didn't guess who this was. I really did not guess it. I mean, all the signs were there. And then there's another one where he's like, oh, God, love the content. And you see her, it looks like she's doing a down dog, but off, like, a bench. And so her knees are up on the bench and her ass is facing up in the air in a thong. And he's like, oh, yeah, love it, but I've got to be really well behaved in there.

[Ronnie]

So then Jason is sitting talking to Alicia, and he's like, like, all right, you've given me the ultimatum that you want to be still or leave. And I understand that environment wasn't good for you, but I think you could have gone a little bit further to try and see if it could have worked. But now, because we're friends, I don't want to see you go. And you've put me in a position to put the news to you in the gaily. So she was disjointed, but she was willing to do it where you weren't. So you're lucky because I want to see that energy back. He's like, you're lucky because you almost had to quit, but you didn't have to quit. So you're lucky because he wasn't going to fire her. He's acting like he was like, you're lucky because I almost fired you, but it's like, no, you weren't going to fire her. You're actually playing totally by Alicia's rules right now.

[Ben]

Yeah, this is not a good move. And Alicia is like, oh, my God. Does anyone have any idea what I should do as a career? Because I'm 26 now, and I hope that the stewardess path will be more suited to me, but who knows? From caterpillar to butterfly. And she takes off her chef's jacket and she's. I've never seen anybody excited this to this excited to clean a toilet, but she is thrilled.

[Ronnie]

Yeah. I feel like across the board, what we've seen are people transitioning out of the interior to the deck. Very few people are like, yes, I get to go inside and unclog poop showers. So Joao and Daisy are talking, and he's like, well, I wonder how this is going to work out for Ben. He messaged her and tried to make her plans. Make plans with her. So Daisy's like, did he try to hook up with her? I don't know. We'll have to see.

[Ben]

So then Jenna's listening to this, like, oh, God. She's, like, starting to stew because she's decided that she likes old Guys, now. So she's like, that was my old man. I was working on him. And Jenna tells us, oh, they were texting on Instagram. Very Gen Z of them. And then an arrow points to her. It's like, ding. Gen Z. Yeah.

[Ronnie]

So Alicia hugs Ben, sort of goodbye that she's acting like she's leaving the boat. She's like. And he's like, well, I wanted you to be happy. I'll miss you. I want you to be happy. Biscuit calves. And he says for her to quit, it's a fail. I failed. It's hard for me to describe how to feel about a new assistant. I don't want someone to quit again. Just kidding. I really don't care. I just want someone to hand me some chopped onions. That's it.

[Ben]

Meanwhile, he's walking around with a glass of wine in the galley. Ben just does whatever the fuck he wants. And she's got him, like, right on the start of a buzz, which is good, because he's really nice right now. He's like, yeah, you know, don't hug me. I'm the chef. I shouldn't cry. Please do not hug me. Licorice, larynx. All right, I've had enough. Just get out of here. So then he's in the galley with Jenna and Mike, and they're like, oh, my God, the new stewardess is coming. And he's like, oh, yeah, check her out. I know her. Look at her picture. And Mike's like, oh, my God, she can speak seven languages. Yeah, she's tall, thin, and pretty too. God, who cares if she puts sugar in the cheesecake, lover?

[Ronnie]

The moment. The moment that they mentioned that this person could speak seven languages, we also should have known it was Ellie, because Ellie would be the type to say that she speaks seven languages when she's, like, learned a few phrases here, there.

[Ellie]

No, I speak all the languages. I do that. I do that. I'm very good at it.

[Ronnie]

I just, like, did not believe that. So Ben is working out with those bands against a railing. And then, because he's getting excited for the hot stew to come on board and, like, like, oh, his body. His new body will happen overnight. And that Daisy has, like, a. A meeting, and she welcomes Alicia and everything, and people are cleaning, and Jen is showing Alicia, like, you know, here's the bar, here are the towels, here's the champagne. This is how you do it.

[Ben]

Yeah. And she says, it's gonna be a pain having now two stews to train, but I don't know. Lisa's skill set yet. But I'd rather the devil you know than the devil you don't. And then, dun, dun, dun. A car comes. We see it coming, and the guys are all getting boners. And Mike's like, oh, my God, she's coming. But, you know, Ben's met her before, so she has the upper. He has the upper hand there. Fresh meat. Fresh meat. And then I was like, go ahead.

[Ronnie]

No, I was gonna say. I was like, oh, no, they're not gonna let us see her face. They're not gonna let her see. It's gonna be. We'll have to wait till next week. So I was, like, already getting very sad. Very, very sad.

[Ben]

But then the car door opens, and we just see a big shot of pink come out. And then she literally just gets out of the car and stares right at the sun. I was like, that's Ellie. Who does that.

[Ronnie]

This is me at home. This is me at home.

[Ben]

Me too. I really did. I started cheering. I was cracking up. And she's like, oh, I was so.

[Ellie]

Happy to be on Katina. Last tartar season was extremely dramatic for me.

[Ben]

And then we cut to a montage of her fighting with Brie, and Brie being like, oh, well, I don't know if you know how to do the ironing, then you shouldn't tell me how to.

[Ellie]

Oh, really? Because my job description is second stool.

[Ben]

And that means I'm your boss.

[Ronnie]

It was the most amazing montage. Ellie was such a terror to breathe.

[Ellie]

She's like, you do what I say.

[Ben]

That's it.

[Ronnie]

So she's like, oh, I took a.

[Ellie]

Lot of time to reflect, and a lot of it was me being too emotional, which I need to be more mindful of.

[Ronnie]

And she smiles like, get ready.

[Ben]

She's just. She's cracking me up because she's doing this really high voice, and she's going.

[Ellie]

And she's like, oh, hello, you're Daisy. Oh, Daisy. Oh, my God. So nice to meet you.

[Ben]

Oh, hello, your bed.

[Ellie]

Oh, so nice to meet you.

[Ben]

She's acting like this, and she's in pink, Her Legally Blonde pink. And everyone's like, oh, my God, what a lovely, gorgeous person. You know? And Jen's just staring at her, and she catches Jen and she's like, oh, hello, Jenna. You're Jenna.

[Ellie]

Oh, hello, I'm Ellie.

[Ben]

Lovely to meet you. And she's just like, yeah.

[Ronnie]

Yeah, Jenna. Jenna is just, like, so angry, and Daisy gives her a tour and everything. And she's like, ah, this hair is bad.

[Ellie]

She's like, oh, Ben. Hi. I'm so glad you came here. Oh, I'm so glad to be doing everything I can to help you as much as possible. Yes. Hello. I love the energy. Oh, this is great. I'm so excited. Oh, yes. Very excited to cook for you. It'll be so wonderful.

[Ronnie]

I was like, oh, God, this will be an utter nightmare. It's gonna be amazing. And unlike Alicia, she's not gonna quit. She is like. She's gonna be like, this is my kitchen. And then we see this season on.

[Ben]

Below Deck, and it's her who does it. She goes in. This season on Below Deck, I was like, that's weird that they gave that to Ellie. And then it's just pure terror.

[Ronnie]

Yeah.

[Ellie]

She's like, you don't get to call me handy buns.

[Ronnie]

No.

[Ellie]

You don't get to say that. No. This is my kitchen. Okay. I hold the carrot.

[Ben]

You watch how you talk to me like, yes. So, wow. What a nice way to end the episode and really get this season started.

[Ronnie]

Oh, my God. I literally cannot even imagine how this is gonna go. The kitchen has been just so massively entertaining. I think the suit. I think adding a sous chef has been, like, one of the best, you know, tweaks to the formula that they've done in recent years, truly. And I hope they start to do this with the other franchises, because it. It, like, works. It's, like, it's organic to the show, too, as opposed to, you know, some of the other things that they've been, you know, trying out. So more sous chefs. Thank you.

[Ben]
