- 1:07below Deck and vander Palm Villa today, which is very exciting. I always
- 1:12love this meeting to just pop us in. By the way, I had
- 1:17a gorgeous California night over at Disney Hall on Saturday night. I went to
- 1:21the La Philharmonic with Doug. Oh oh nice, second time I've gone with
- 1:26him. He's brought me as his date. He has. He's like a
- 1:30season ticket holder, and I am honored and delighted to be one of the
- 1:34people that appreciate classical music and happy and delighted that he brought me along.
- 1:42Also, the Disney Hall has like a restaurant that's next to them or attached
- 1:48to them, associated with them, and I believe it's called Astrid. But
- 1:52we went there first. Yeah you've been there. Yeah I haven't been there,
- 1:56but I know what you're talking about. Okay, So the heels of
- 2:00Top Chef and a few episodes ago, they had a supper club challenge and
- 2:06one of the contestants made a chicken liver moose. Well, I had said
- 2:10I would love to try chicken liver moose because I don't think I've ever had
- 2:14it. Yeah, lo and behold. I pull up Doug sitting there and
- 2:20he's like, I don't know about you, but this is what I like
- 2:22to do. I like to grab a little something from here, here,
- 2:23and here, and they've got this chicken liver moose. I was like,
- 2:27are you kidding me? Right now? Done? So I had to remind
- 2:31him because he watches Top Chef also, and I was like, do you
- 2:34remember from supper club? And he did not. He did not remember the
- 2:38chicken liver moose, but was delighted to know that that had happened and that
- 2:42my dreams were coming true, and my god, it was so good,
- 2:44and they paired it with like a jelly. Oh. It was an incredible
- 2:49meal over there. I didn't know what we were getting into when we arrived.
- 2:53I thought it was just like a quick meal. I had no clue.
- 2:54I didn't know if I was going to get a sandwich or a steak.
- 2:58A sure enough, and we split a bunch of stuff and it was
- 3:01so good, and the concert was fabulous, little Beethoven, little Strauss,
- 3:07some piano. And they had a wind machine for the don Quixote. No.
- 3:14Wow, yeah, fourth dimension, four dimensional, four dimensional for sure.
- 3:20I said what is that? And he's like, I don't know a
- 3:23wind machine. And it's like Doug knows everything, so he was like,
- 3:29yeah, that's a wind machine. And then he's like, well, how
- 3:30was how would one get a wind machine? Is this their wind machine?
- 3:35Do they rent this wind machine? Do they borrow this wind machine? I
- 3:38was like, I think they own the wind machine. I think they've got
- 3:40a room here where they just have a bunch of random instruments and that's where
- 3:44they put it. What do you think? Yeah, that could I'm gonna
- 3:46say yes, and or somebody donated it for a limited use but for free.
- 3:54Oh interesting, dog did not. He was not feeling the whole Uh,
- 4:00they own the wind machine and just keep it in a room theory that
- 4:03I had. He was like, you think they had just have it.
- 4:08I was like yeah, and he's like, oh no, no, I
- 4:11can see a studio being like this is a good tax right off, We'll
- 4:15let them use our wind machine for these performances, you know, because it's
- 4:21a non for profit I think, right, it's all probably donor driven.
- 4:27Yeah, so that's what I'm thinking. Well, I couldn't get enough wind
- 4:30machine. They used it and they crank it crank. It's like a press,
- 4:34a huge press, you know what I mean. And when they pulled
- 4:39that out and they started playing it, Dugnet like yes, and then I
- 4:43was like more wind machine, like more cowbell. You know, you just
- 4:46can't get enough. But it was limited use only, but bye, golly
- 4:50bye, gosh. Absolutely stunning performances from all The pianist who's very well known,
- 4:57got a standing ovation after her pieces, and then so many that she
- 5:01came back and had doing encore. Wow. And dude Mel was the conductor
- 5:08and he's leaving. He's leaving, yes, to go to New York.
- 5:13Yeah, that was a big deal when that announcement came through. But he's
- 5:18still going to come back. I guess to do the the Hollywood Bowl shows
- 5:23me. Oh really, Oh I may. I think. I don't know.
- 5:27I think that's what I heard, because he's got they've got that thing
- 5:30with John Williams and they do something else anyway. Yeah, yeah, are
- 5:36my headphones being really loud right now? Yeah? No, no, yeah
- 5:46no. Did you well, let me just serve up a little dish here
- 5:51and then we can chat deserving dish. Did you get your eyes on any
- 5:57of them Met Gala looks? I did a few, but I just just
- 6:00a quick glance. Okay. Now the theme was Garden of Time. Garden
- 6:10of Time, mm hmm okay. I just wanted to know because I don't
- 6:14really like to know the theme ahead of time, because I like want to
- 6:16try and not necessarily guess because I'll never guess. But you'll never guess,
- 6:21no, never, never eva guess what a Met Gala theme is. But
- 6:29I wanted to like see where I'm at in terms of like where am I
- 6:33landing? And I was definitely seeing the florals. I was definitely seeing some
- 6:38sort of flower theme. So I felt like this year, of all years,
- 6:43they did seem to stick with the theme. So many times it feels
- 6:46retrofitted into the theme, like they know what they're gonna wear anyway, and
- 6:50then they like just they just make it work. Yeah, like they that
- 6:56Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe's goal. You know, yeah it didn't. But
- 7:01what was the theme last year? Now? I don't even remember that.
- 7:04This was a couple of years ago, wasn't it, because she was Pete
- 7:09Davidson. Oh, Pete Davidson. Oh okay, right, yeah, but
- 7:14anyway, years ago, Yeah, I remember hearing the theme and I was
- 7:16like, oh, she was just gonna do this anyway. Yeah, right
- 7:19right, she was just gonna do it anyway. There are somewhere I'm like,
- 7:23how is this part of the theme? You know? Yeah, one
- 7:27in particular, I had to. I went on TikTok and I did watch
- 7:30a video or two about what people were saying about some of the looks and
- 7:34like, so for example, one of the Jenners, I think Kendall Jenner
- 7:36with the black like very streamlined. I want to say, Yeah, I'm
- 7:41gonna get it all wrong. Okay, I think it was VERSACEI I don't
- 7:44know. But the point is is that I was like, how is this
- 7:47garden of Time? Like? I don't see it at all? Is this
- 7:50because it's completely all black and it's very straight and narrow and and this maybe
- 7:58is like the black vacuum of time? Well? Sure, sure, but
- 8:03this I mean sure, but this one guy said, it's like, oh
- 8:09what did he say? Oh? Yeah, a snow white of what?
- 8:13No? No, I'm sorry, not snow white sleeping beauty, because you
- 8:16know, sleeping beauty sleeps in like and then all the time passes like she's
- 8:20sleeping in the garden in the woods. Okay, okay, So I was
- 8:26like, I still don't see it, but thank you for selling me,
- 8:33because in my mind I'm thinking of the Disney Sleeping Beauty and she's not wearing
- 8:37black. No, God no, And if anything, the wouldn't she be
- 8:41the the witch, the evil right right with the apple anyway? But Andy
- 8:50Cohen was there with Sarah Jessica Parker, and she had a very distinct theme
- 8:56driven look. I think, I mean she looked like a flowers and she
- 9:01always knows. She always yeah, she does. So that was exciting,
- 9:05and he was in it just a plain black tux. I really would appreciate
- 9:09it if more of the men would go a little more nuts with the theme,
- 9:13but they don't. Not a lot of guys do it. I feel
- 9:16like Andy would have a couple before he had kids, but he didn't,
- 9:20and now that it would be much cooler for him. I think he just
- 9:24doesn't have the time. He's just like, I'm going it's fine, but
- 9:26I agree with you. Yeah, because some guys clearly card now, Yeah,
- 9:30there were a couple that really one looked like Willy Wonka. You know,
- 9:35I don't know, it's some of these shows I don't watch. I
- 9:37think he's from Euphoria. Who knows, but I I thought you met like
- 9:41Timothy Shalman. I'm like, well, he literally played Willy Wonka, literally
- 9:46was so that would be appropriate, but it wasn't him. But Andy looks
- 9:50great classic and if he's trying, I think, if I'm going to look
- 9:54into this, maybe he's just like, I am here to be Sarah Jessica
- 10:00Parker's like escort date. I'm here to support. It's not about me,
- 10:05it's about her. So that's kind of what I'm thinking. His angle is
- 10:07when he goes to these Yeah, like she's the show and he writes the
- 10:13support and they always go together. Yeah. Yeah, so that's what I'm
- 10:18thinking anyway. So that being said, Andy Cohen was there and that was
- 10:24great to see because they weren't there last year, maybe the last couple of
- 10:26years. I don't think they've been there, so it was really the back.
- 10:31Wow, I just assume that they go every year. No, not
- 10:33every she's skipped. She's skipped some. So no housewives to be seen.
- 10:39Let that be noted. But there were some parties that were had, you
- 10:45know after parties in which there's some summer house people like a Cierra Miller,
- 10:50maybe a Page you know, some of the fashionist does. And so that's
- 10:56that now. Also in other news, Bethany Frankel and Paul Burnan have split
- 11:03after six years of dating, and US Weekly is where I'm reading this,
- 11:09and it says that they can exclusively confirm that, and a mutual friend of
- 11:15the couple confirmed to them that it in quotes, it just wasn't going to
- 11:20work between the pair, who split around two months ago. So that was
- 11:26shocking to me. Because you know, obviously it takes time to trickle through
- 11:30the press if you're not going to put it out there on your own.
- 11:33But honestly, the second that I saw this headline, I thought, oh
- 11:37my god, Like she's grieving, she's going through it, and she's like,
- 11:41I can't, I need to split this up. But this happened before
- 11:43her mother passed, so that is interesting. Yeah. I mean, but
- 11:50who knows, maybe she was. Maybe it's more like I don't feel like
- 11:54pretending we're going to get back together now or something. So there's probably some
- 11:58of that coming out with it making it final. Yeah, so that is
- 12:05the news there. Six years Wow, they were engaged. She had a
- 12:09huge ring. Yeah. In other news, we have some vander Pomp rules
- 12:16stuff to discuss, one of which is that the reunion trailer came out yesterday.
- 12:20Did you get eyes on that, Emily? I did this morning?
- 12:24Yeah, okay. Wow. So there is a part, as you all
- 12:28saw from the trailer that Andy says, no one has seen the very end
- 12:33and we're all going to watch it together and respond, and Arianna is crying
- 12:37her heart out and she says that makes her really really sad. You have
- 12:41Tom Sandoval crying saying I'm not acting. You knew me, Arianna and Lalla's
- 12:50very confused face. A lot of people's very confused faces, so we don't
- 12:54know what that is. But there is an account Ceci Loves You that apparently
- 13:03she spoke with Kyle Chan and had a very long conversation and she went on
- 13:09her Instagram and did a whole video yesterday. And this is a spoiler for
- 13:16what happens in the reunion. So if you don't want to hear this spoiler,
- 13:18the alleged spoiler, then pause or mute, I should say so.
- 13:26And this is also a trigger warning. The spoiler is that apparently Kyle Chan
- 13:33says that it was about Tom's mental health and that he reached a point where
- 13:41he went and bought a gun and he was home, and Kyle Chan went
- 13:48over there and basically saw him in a position that he, you know,
- 13:52you would never want to see somebody, and he was concerned about it.
- 13:56So that's quite into hence, maybe it's a confessional from Kyle Chan talking about
- 14:03it. Oh right, right, yeah, that's a good call. This
- 14:07trailer for VPR Reunion was really quite shocking, pretty heartbreaking, and obviously piqued
- 14:16the interest of most people and just hate seeing it, hate seeing it.
- 14:22So I did. Yeah, And you know, like it's hard for me
- 14:28with Sandoval, but I think like anybody that got themselves in the situation that
- 14:35he did would probably be going through some pretty intrusive thoughts. So I do
- 14:43have a lot of empathy for him. Yeah, in that way, I'm
- 14:48an EmPATH like Dody and that you are how I feel. I can't imagine
- 14:54any of us wouldn't feel a certain way of compassion towards him at this point,
- 15:01you know, truth, not enough, not enough that like I would,
- 15:05I'm still hardcore ariana. I just can see horse that that would have
- 15:11been a very hard time to live through for him, even though he I
- 15:16know he did it, he made those choices all that. I just think
- 15:20like, yeah, I could see where that would be a hard thing.
- 15:24Yeah. And then also in other news, it looks like, and I
- 15:28saw this on Bravo snark side, that Sandoval and his girlfriend Victoria, which
- 15:35I wasn't even up on, Like I knew he had a girlfriend, never
- 15:39had a name to it, So I just yes, But they apparently have
- 15:43broken up and they've unfollowed each other it says, and the Bravo snark side
- 15:50reposted something from the Bravo Babe and it says, after the Watcher Happens live
- 15:56taping last night, Sandoval, Victoria and went out together. This morning,
- 16:02Victoria and Sandobal unfollowed each other and Billy Lee unfollowed both of them. Something
- 16:08happened and watch What Happens Live? Oh wow, oh wow, Okay the
- 16:17plot beckens. God bless. I mean, these people never turn it off.
- 16:22So I mean I'm talking about like the account. Yeah, and I
- 16:26was gonna say whatever would create something where Billy Lee would unfollow everybody and then
- 16:33he would too, and then the fans that step in to be like,
- 16:37but see this is again where Billy Lee or somebody must have tipped Face Reality
- 16:45sixteen off or whoever. You know. Yeah, this is because you're right,
- 16:48because they are giving this information without giving the information that they really got
- 16:53to protect, right, right, they have relationships with these people. Yeah,
- 16:57so we know that now it's getting really too close for comfort. It's
- 17:03crossing over into the show. So Jack's was on Watch What Happens also?
- 17:10Yeah, okay, it hasn't aired yet, right, it's pre right,
- 17:15right, so that'll be this week. That'll be uh tonight, are there
- 17:22restraining orders? Somebody push somebody sand of Ball's nails right now, because that
- 17:30will determine if he was able to have a close fist jacks. Oh my
- 17:37gosh, I need to like get healthy, really get on my game before
- 17:45tonight because it's gonna have to be vander Pump Rules, Watch Happens Live with
- 17:48a fine tooth comb and following this all the way until tomorrow morning when we
- 17:52recap this. So yeah, and you know how I'm gonna do that.
- 17:56I'm gonna drink some ag one. That's what I'm gonna do. I don't
- 18:00know if you've tried it yet, but this is something that I've found to
- 18:04be absolutely incredible. It's a huge part of my day. It's a foundational
- 18:08nutritional supplement that you drink. You put it in this little little drinking capsule
- 18:15that they give you and you shake it up. You put your powder in
- 18:19there, you shake it up, and you drink, drink, drink,
- 18:22and it does so much for you. Not only does it have vitamins,
- 18:26and it has prebiotics, probiotics. I always talk about folate. It's got
- 18:32that magnesium. I mean everyone's talking, dug. She regular and helps you
- 18:37sleep. It's right, also good for acid reflux, by the way,
- 18:45ashwaganda for stress support. And you get your vitamin Z. I'm sorry not
- 18:49Z, but you get your your vitamin C and zinc. So this is
- 18:55why I need this because I need to get healthy to watch these shows so
- 19:00I could be amped up, but also by my actual health. My friend
- 19:03Jen swears by it because she says it helps her breathe better. I think
- 19:07it like clears up her sinuses or something. Really, I guess I don't
- 19:11know this now. This is Jen, this is Joe. You know Jen.
- 19:14She talks, you know what I mean, She's always talking well.
- 19:18And also Jamie she's like, oh my god, this step is a game
- 19:21changer. And so she's I know, and she got her mom taking it
- 19:26and by the way, she was started to take it like separate from me

- 21:23now that we've clansed our sales, we can leave all duh to our below
- 21:30Deck and vander Palm Villa recaps, caps caps caps caps capes. I can't
- 21:37believe that, well, I guess I can. Blow Deck is almost over,
- 21:41Like next week they're going to start their last charter. Oh yeah,
- 21:45I loved this episode and the last one, but I really love this one
- 21:51because I do think like it was the perfect episode that kept me entertained and
- 21:57there was not yeah, like crazy friction. It wasn't stress. It was
- 22:04just friends and bits and I loved it. I loved it. Yeah,
- 22:08And I think I needed a stress free show, you know. Yeah,
- 22:14And you know too, I forget there. When we were talking about Jersey,
- 22:18one of the darlings, maybe you remember, said something about like she
- 22:22was so over the intro with the blowout and everything. And I do think
- 22:27that Bravo always somehow knows what we want. They do miss the mark occasionally
- 22:33Potomac this season, but I do think like somehow they knew, like this
- 22:38is going to be a really great palate cleanser, fun upbeat. I didn't
- 22:44even we haven't even had that much tension this season, but it was so
- 22:48fun. And also I think a complete coincidence. I mean, who could
- 22:55have seen this, like in the future to schedule the The Real House Lives
- 23:00of New Jersey Last Supper like Explosion trailer vander Pump Rules Reunion trailer the same
- 23:07week and the same day that Below Deck just has a lovely, you know,
- 23:11nice charter, you know what I mean, Like that's that we got
- 23:17lucky with the balance here. And I loved Fraser and Stephen kissing at the
- 23:22end. When they like made that happen, it seemed very sorry, did
- 23:26you just call him Fraser? How dare you? How dare you? Jill'saren
- 23:34girl? I haven't had my ag one yet. I was running behind schedule
- 23:42today. Okay, I'm so sorry. I you know what, I'm already
- 23:52moved on from Below Deck, so now I'm still going to get the names
- 23:56wrong. No, I'm kidding you. Okay, Fraser and Stemen they have
- 24:00their big kiss, and I just love the way that it all like came
- 24:03together because sometimes you'd think that the romance might be gone if you have to
- 24:08ask the captain to kiss somebody and it's all planned out. Yeah, he's
- 24:14Phraser's really good at knowing his status. I will say, like, he
- 24:21doesn't ever seem to take it on the chin when he has to like lower
- 24:26status himself. I've noticed it a couple of times. He's like, no,
- 24:30the captain's in charge. I'm really gonna listen to what the captain's saying.
- 24:33So what you're saying is he he appears to be high status. He
- 24:41presents his high status, and then he talks his high status. He acts
- 24:45his high status, but then when he's knocked down, he takes it on
- 24:48the chin right exactly. Now, he's only gonna take it from the captain.
- 24:52But that's who he's gonna take it, and he's only gonna keep trying
- 24:56to be high status. I mean, I thought we're starting our podcast.
- 25:00I'm expecting him to come on here and tell us that we're not doing a
- 25:04good job. Like you know, he'll he will not tell us. He'll
- 25:08go straight to like Apple headquarters and say, like, I need to have
- 25:14a meeting, we need to fire them. Spotify don't do that Spotify.
- 25:19I'm so over Emmy and Amy. They don't know what they're talking about.
- 25:26Serving dish is exhausting. It lacks presentation. It he we can't. I
- 25:38will say the common denominator in every episode is Fraser talking to the captain about
- 25:45firing any anyone, anyone, anyone, other people on other charters, you
- 25:49know, other guests, anything, anyone that can go by, you know,
- 25:52anyone. I look out, they just docked. I don't know who's
- 25:56on the dock. But Fraser is coming for you, okay Na, Like,
- 26:00I'm sorry, Granada. The entire city is a country. Uh is
- 26:08right? Is it country? Yeah? It's kind yeah, is not cooperating.
- 26:14I'm sorry, it's it's a cloudy day. I really wanted it to
- 26:17be sunny, and I can't stand Granada. But you know, like but
- 26:22him asking the captain, you know, like Stephen, there might be a
- 26:26peck in da and you'll write with that, and then the captain being like
- 26:30if if it's like ky with ye you know Dan link all those lips.
- 26:33You know, he was just very like, all right, let's do this.
- 26:37A peck is fine, and he was supportive and I love that and
- 26:41Thank god Stephen came out on the crew night out and popped in. Yeah.
- 26:47Yeah, I was like, this is a sexy time. You know,
- 26:51this is some sex. I mean I want I tried to see what
- 26:55I need. Does anybody know are they engaged now? I'm gonna say no.
- 27:03I'm gonna say no. I wanted them together forever. I mean,
- 27:07you never know, who knows. Maybe they are like seeing each other.
- 27:11But I did love that they met up. And Steven's like, do you
- 27:15find me to be unapproachable? And he's like, I really do. And
- 27:18he's like you get that a lot, and he's like totally obsessed with you.
- 27:22And I'm like, oh my god, you guys are so cute.
- 27:25And then Ben in the background just doing like the woo woo, like he
- 27:29is cheering them on practically as an airhorn. He's like, froze up,
- 27:33all right, take it down a notch. Let them have their moment.
- 27:37But it was really funny. But anyway, getting back to the morning,
- 27:45when Captain is out on the deck and he's with the guest, one of
- 27:48the Instagram Instagram guests, and he's like looking at that gorgeous view, just
- 27:55gorgeous Granada. You know and and the guest is like, oh, is
- 27:59this what you do every morning? And he's like, I medy tighten my
- 28:02room, ham Ham, it's really relaxing. Yeah. I think I love
- 28:14Captain Carry. I think I like him. I like his personality better than
- 28:18Captain Jason. Yeah, Captain Sandy's so my favorite. But what about Captain
- 28:26Lee. Let's not forget No, I don't forget Lee. I kind of
- 28:29put him on in a category by himself because he's the og og. Now.
- 28:37Well, but now I say that, and I need to make a
- 28:38correction because what the bottom line is, who do you want to work for?
- 28:44And I think, yeah, Sandy out of all of them. Oh
- 28:48yeah, second, second, Carrie, who do I want to look at
- 28:52Jason? Captain Jason? Mama Mia agree, Dylan wants to look at himself.
- 29:04He's just like playing with his abs. That was just there's something going
- 29:08on with old Dylan Baki because he is he's a mimic. He like,
- 29:17I'm like, what what happened? Like how did you grow up? Buddy?
- 29:21Because everything he does he's just trying to emulate any everyone else in the
- 29:29room or somebody he thought was cool. I have no idea who this guy
- 29:33is. Oh wow, I don't I gotta check that out. I don't
- 29:36know who he is either, but I don't think he does. But like
- 29:40just the way he overorates and like enunciates, and like, you know,
- 29:45he's always like trying to make a big splash or a big and he's always
- 29:48it just doesn't fit him. He's not authentic. He's acting. But I
- 29:53think it's like a deep response to something. I think there's something really good
- 30:00going on there and I don't know what it is. And I don't know
- 30:03if it started on that cargo ship that he worked for, but that was
- 30:07a big deal. And you know, he has the one honest thing that
- 30:15I don't think he's dishonest, the one thing that he when he was talking
- 30:18about his his childhood and being really self conscious about his weight when he was
- 30:25a kid. Some of that plays into it. But I think there's a
- 30:27lot more going on. It's my hunch. Okay, wow, I didn't
- 30:33even hear him say that. Okay, well I listened. I what what?
- 30:41But between you and I I'm like sorry, singing yeah, Amy,
- 30:48Hello, Hello? What what? Why? And I never have one moment
- 30:55about me? It's about me let's talk about the breakfast eggs many and this
- 31:00crew is obsessed with garnish. I like to open the conversation to garnish.
- 31:07Nick won't do it. And the instagram people seem to love it. They're
- 31:11taking just as many pictures they had a problem. They're enjoying the food and
- 31:19enjoying the pictures. They're not complaining. They're enjoying the food while they're enjoying
- 31:26the pictures and so indulgent. And the woman was like, I'm watching this
- 31:30while I'm eating it. I'm like, stop stop doing that please. I
- 31:37know, but I mean, like, is there something about the food that
- 31:41like we need to because some of the garnishes are talking about are taggy?
- 31:47Sound cheesy? Is right? I'm gonna stand by Nick. Did you hear
- 31:51that noise that just came through? No? Okay, good was it?
- 31:55No? It's my email, but it makes a noise on my end,
- 31:56so I didn't know if it picked up. Yeah, Nick knows it's tacky.
- 32:02His dishes and plating are clean, they are fresh, they are now,
- 32:07they are with the times. Yeah, we don't need a freaking drizzle
- 32:12everywhere. We don't need a you know, a cucumber in the shape of
- 32:15a star, a star. It felt like. Now, don't get me
- 32:21wrong, if that was presented to me, I would be like, wow,
- 32:23that's cute, but I wouldn't like you to be knocked Your socks would
- 32:30be knocked off, Emily, hold let me let me present something to you.
- 32:34Let me see what your response would be. Okay, I'm going to
- 32:37put a drizzle around I'm gonna do the eggs benedect hollandaise sauce drizzle around the
- 32:45outside of the eggs Benny, and then I'm going to put like carrots in
- 32:53the shape of hearts and cucumbers in the shape of fish, and I'm gonna
- 32:59put it along the outside with some hi tomatoes. What are you going to
- 33:04do here? It is here, it is. I would say, oh
- 33:07my gosh, I needn't know we ordered off the kids menu. That is
- 33:10so cool, because wouldn't that be like very Yeah, I think I'm fine
- 33:17with this. Yeah, let's take let's stop the garnish. You know,
- 33:22And the fact that that is what drove Fraser to Captain Carrie to complain about
- 33:29him is making me irate, Like, yeah, you know, the chef
- 33:34is standing his ground. He has to stand by his food and that is
- 33:37his like thing. They don't need garnish. They don't need it. And
- 33:42these two people, Paris and Fraser, I don't know. There was a
- 33:45little hiccup on this charter last episode with them not with the chef overlooking the
- 33:52preference sheet again, and so I think that was also playing into Fraser talking
- 33:58to Captain it again. But it really was the garnish because now he's rallying
- 34:04the troops to complain about garnish and I'm like, buddy, if that's the
- 34:07worst. Yeah, because also the dinners are plated on that really nice china,
- 34:13which is enough oftentimes look a tablescape on a charter. You know,
- 34:20they try everything and they do a great job with it, but like that's
- 34:22a garnish. That is the garnish exactly. It's always going to be too
- 34:28much. It's always going to be you know, like Bollywood meets nineteen twenties
- 34:31meets you know, art deco. Like it's going to be too much for
- 34:36the theme. Yeah, so let the food be garnishless. Also, truth
- 34:42be told, there was some Parsley on it, so like that's plenty.
- 34:45Yeah, I agree, Thank god we're on the same page. I just
- 34:50I couldn't with that. And then we see Paris squeeze Mayo into her mouth,
- 34:53which was very impressive. And I have no problem. Oh I did.
- 34:58I wouldn't do it, but good for her. Good for her.
- 35:00You know, I'm happy that she can. She does. There's just something
- 35:04about Nanny's sounds really grown. Yeah, that gets me, even though I
- 35:09love it, I don't know what that is. Well, it's just some
- 35:14things aren't meant to be eaten independently, and I stand by that. Oh
- 35:20my god, thank you. So Sonny and Ben start this episode off with
- 35:25being like very awkward and they're fixing a chair, and then they eventually hook
- 35:30up at the end. And I mean, I guess if Sonny has an
- 35:32understanding and she's fine with that, but I think she's just bored and just
- 35:37wants to have fun. Yeah, and I guess their intentions have been very
- 35:43clear now, so it is what it is. But I think we both
- 35:47were like, oh no, they're totally going to hook up again. I
- 35:50just assumed she'd like at least play a little game. But yeah, I
- 35:54know, But I mean it was one cur night out and you know,
- 35:57you only get one cur night out. Plus they're turning this away. They're
- 36:00not even going to have like a whole day. So yeah, you got
- 36:04a step two. So we uh oh oh, Barbie calls her. Was
- 36:09that was her mom, right, sister? No, Thank goodness, I
- 36:13miss that, And I was like, I don't think this is her mom
- 36:15talking to her like that, because she's like, wow, you've got to
- 36:17live with your decisions. You should have thought about that. No, and
- 36:21I was. But by the end of that call, I was glad that
- 36:23this sister was calming down. Who is this dad? I am terrified there's
- 36:31some issues there, and I just thought, like, why she's giving it
- 36:36so much life that it's concerning. Yeah, But but then you know,
- 36:45she turned a corner as she said, what did she say? I turned
- 36:47her and I'm settling in own it. Yeah. Yeah, she's gonna accept
- 36:52it. And that was really good growing pains to see. Yeah, so
- 36:57I did love when Paris was like, I'm not into krusty Dicksy. Do
- 37:01you think the tension with her and the chef is legit? I can't tell
- 37:06if they're putting that on that back and forth because oh, I see,
- 37:12not sexual tension, just tension, just the tension that between them because like
- 37:15he has said some shit and I'm like, he's worked in this industry for
- 37:21twenty years, surely he knows. You don't say that. But then I
- 37:27was like, did the producers pull them aside independently and were like, you
- 37:34know, the new chef, he's not doing X and Y, and hey,
- 37:37Paris is new and she's not doing this. What do you think and
- 37:40then lean into that. I don't know, it just felt weird. Yeah,
- 37:45it's from what I understand and the way that oh, well that's actually
- 37:50below deck met that I'm thinking of, So nevermind. I don't know.
- 37:52I'm not sure. I will say that it did seem in the promo from
- 37:57last week that it was going to be a bigger deal than it is,
- 38:00and so this week it was just like not much of anything. So I
- 38:02feel like maybe she's leaning into the reality TV aspect of this at this point,
- 38:07she's comfortable, Well he's saying some total bullshit and you know, yeah,
- 38:12he he did say some bad stuff to her, like about getting chunky,
- 38:16and then yeah, it's wrong for a girl like I just yeah,
- 38:22you know better, dude, Like I think he's just like probably a mess
- 38:28he's like a probably a misogynistic chef. Big surprise. Yeah, yeah,
- 38:34true. They had the New Year's Eve dinner surf and turf, and Nick
- 38:37is like, I would never even serve surf and turf, which is very
- 38:42strange because that seems like and again maybe he's he wouldn't eat it himself,
- 38:45you wouldn't eat it. Oh okay, I see what you're saying. I
- 38:49thought he meant he would never choose to serve this to anybody, but because
- 38:53they're asking for it, that he's doing it, and you would never like
- 38:57select that because again I could see where he's going with that, because I'm
- 39:02like, well that is very eighties, like it's very antiquated, and it
- 39:07does kind of seem tacky, but also it's a classic that doesn't really go
- 39:10out of style. Honestly, on these boats, when somebody wants something like
- 39:15surf and turf or something, it's such a relief as a viewer because I'm
- 39:21just like, this is easy, we got this, no problem. The
- 39:24stress level goes way down. We're going to knock this out of the park.
- 39:29But until what's his head couldn't make eggs And that freaked me out.
- 39:34On the last blow deck and remember the chef no, no, oh god,
- 39:39the Irish, British, Oh, the Irish guy. I was gonna
- 39:42say, British chefs. Yeah, and maybe Irish they cannot well, yeah,
- 39:46they cannot. British make eggs. They're not good at it. Also,
- 39:52Nick's foam was terrible, I will say that, and spraying it on
- 39:58the plates as they're walking to the dining room was very, very very attacking.
- 40:06Well, I think that was part of Fraser's issue. And I couldn't
- 40:09tell if he was how visible he was, but I'm kind of like,
- 40:14if you're gonna do that, make it a show. Don't be on the
- 40:17on deck circle squirting it out of your armpit and then like yeah, but
- 40:21it was so bad. It was like it looked like a whipped cream bottle
- 40:24that was done its last, you know, yes, yeah, and then
- 40:37tired live cream. But he would be like spraying it all over the guests
- 40:45at that point if he had. Yeah, I mean what Fraser looked insulted
- 40:52holding those He looked humiliated, like holding those places and having him do that
- 40:58humiliating. I was like, yeah, this is too much. Anyway,
- 41:07Yeah, Nick says like go clean a toilet in his confessional about Paris.
- 41:13Yeah, I'm talking about he's an asshole. He is an asshole. I
- 41:19would have thought he would know better, but he does not. He does
- 41:22not. Fraser takes Steven's clothes off at dinner. They kiss after the Sparklers.
- 41:28We already talked about that. But the next day or no, that
- 41:31night, Barbie apologizes to Kyle about not owning it with her dad and she's
- 41:36ready to own it, and they have like a little reset, and the
- 41:39morning comes. They argue about garnishes again and about crapes, and I was
- 41:46kind of leaning towards what the chef was saying, like I think he knows
- 41:52what to do about crapes. So I didn't understand. Did you understand this
- 41:55crape fiasco here? I didn't. But I also feel like maybe I wasn't
- 42:05paying attention enough because I didn't even realize it was like a big deal,
- 42:10Like I thought it was just like, well, Fraser certainly brought that to
- 42:15the wheelhouse, right, he made it a big deal. I feel like
- 42:22it's not going to even matter. Fraser is in a gear where everything matters
- 42:27and the result, the final result is going to be. At this point,
- 42:32you cry wolf. That's the final result. Yeah, so anything like
- 42:38the captain was right, like you were so much more helpful with Anthony,
- 42:44and that was like Fraser loves a wounded bird, like that is his thing.
- 42:47And if you aren't looking for him, if you aren't looking for Fraser
- 42:52to like build you up, then watch out. He's going to come for
- 42:57you. He's going to take you down until you want him to build you
- 43:00back. As you back up, He's like a Lisa Vanderbump. Yeah,
- 43:05he says to Captain carry, I'm so disappointed in the food. There's zero
- 43:08presentation. He's not friendly. It's his way on no way. And then
- 43:14Carrie's like, it feels to me like you didn't want to be as hailful
- 43:16as you were the Anthony. And then Carrie's like, I agree with the
- 43:21presentation. Both the Geese like it. Yeah, you guys have been on
- 43:28boats too long, you know, you guys want these cheesy garnishes. Paris
- 43:34too fell like Paris has like cruise vibes, like Carnival cruise vibes. Great
- 43:40and fine, right right honestly, but it just that's the swan tows,
- 43:45that's the cucumbers and stars and it's just in my mind. On these below
- 43:52deck seasons, it just there's some clients that would want that and some that
- 43:58don't. So I feel like you're catering. You're catering to a higher level
- 44:04of client when you're not putting all that bullshit on it. Although I would
- 44:08like to wander my room, I'm just gonna say, or just different because
- 44:12they have, you know, I just think it's different. I think they
- 44:15want an opposite experience from that, or I don't elevated experience. They did
- 44:22love it. They gave us seventeen sixty nine tip. Each person gets seventeen
- 44:25sixty nine, which was great, and then I did love that Fraser.
- 44:30Fraser tried to like sway the crew and he's like, I don't know if
- 44:34you notice, but we do have a new chef, so let's just be
- 44:39positive. It is best we can. Like it's like like five, Yeah,
- 44:45I need all of you to mention Garnish. Yeah. I tried to
- 44:51get him fired this week. It did not work, Hoping he'll get fired
- 44:54next week in the middle of the chata. Yeah, so that's that.
- 45:01Any less thoughts on the Saint David, if you will, I think let's
- 45:07let's steer this boat straight over to France. Let's do it. Oh wow,
- 45:13here we are and her Pumpvilla. It's actually perfect because it's like going
- 45:20from Below Deck to a show that's inspired by Below Deck in the way that
- 45:24it's curated. Yeah, so this is good. Look. I did take
- 45:34a lot of notes, but I'm not going to, you know, read
- 45:36them all. But we are now in episode eight, and it's kind of
- 45:42the fallout from the divorce party. Hannah had a little melt down. She's
- 45:45starting to pack up to leave. In the middle of the night. She's
- 45:50like, not even my ex boyfriend is checking on me. Ex boyfriend he's
- 45:55like asleep. Everyone's like it's two in the morning, what are you doing
- 46:00having a hissy fit. And Kelly was sitting on the ground. She's like,
- 46:04stop, wait, don't go. I still do not understand the Telly
- 46:09Hannah friendship at all. But here we are. I know, I don't
- 46:14know. Look, I was glad that Kelly and Gabby finally kind of came
- 46:20to a bit of an understanding in this episode. So we're getting somewhere.
- 46:25Caroline the chef, apparently, you know, we had an issue with Eric
- 46:30kissing her last week. Yes, okay, well the grab because then she
- 46:37referred to it like lovingly, and I was like, was there another kiss?
- 46:39And then they cut back to that kiss and I was like, oh,
- 46:42yeah, I'm sorry girl, I don't know what happened to you.
- 46:45This was I don't know why she likes I don't know why she liked it,
- 46:50but it was nice to hear that she does like him and she's interested,
- 46:53because I was like, do we have consent? Didn't look like how
- 46:59is Air winning all the ladies? Like surely? Like his personality kills anything.
- 47:08I mean he's so he's like like textbook restaurant manager. Annoying, Oh
- 47:14god, like disgusting. Now what is with? Carolyne said, he gave
- 47:20me his bed? Why was he sleeping on the couch? Why why don't
- 47:24they both have beds? This is what I was confused about. Oh,
- 47:29I don't know some of the math on the bed, like because then it's
- 47:32like, well, who is where's her bed with somebody sleeping in her room?
- 47:36That's what I'm saying. What is Yeah? Yeah, it is confusing.
- 47:39They didn't close the loop on that, and that's annoying to me because
- 47:44Eric's sleeping on the couch and she's like, oh, he gave me his
- 47:46bed. I really I think I like him. Blah blah blah. Then
- 47:49Emily and Eric are watching the sunrise and they're just enjoying that and they seem
- 47:53to like each other, and he tells Emily that he's seeing somebody, meaning
- 47:59I guess Caro Caroline. At the end of the episode, he says he's
- 48:04seeing someone back home. Yeah, oh my god. But then like he's
- 48:10cuddling with Nikki the whole time, yeah, right after sunrise service with Emily,
- 48:16and then like it and then kind of flirty with Caroline. Caroline some
- 48:22of her stuff is a little out there too, like when she was going
- 48:27crazy on Nicky for like who are you? Are you? Yeah, hooking
- 48:34up with the guests like how dare you? And Andre then in his confessional
- 48:37is like, clearly Caroline's like pissed about Eric, But yeah, I don't
- 48:44Yah, Caroline really moved into reality this week, Yeah reality should say yeah.
- 48:52Yeah, But I think it's genuine, and I think her opinions are
- 48:54a little old school, and so I don't have an issue with Caroline like
- 48:59I do Hannah. But I'm also like Caroline, like calm down, like
- 49:02this is you don't want to be this person. No. So Lisa meets
- 49:09with Nicki and she was like really upset. She's like Marciano said, they
- 49:15don't need me here. He doesn't need me here, and like Hannah woke
- 49:17up yelling and I cried myself to sleep, and Lisa's like, oh,
- 49:22no, you cried yourself asleep. I don't understand what happened. Why Oh
- 49:30And then in her confessional she's like, Hannah's threatened by Nikki, so I've
- 49:34got to have a sit down in the office with Hannah. And then Lisa's
- 49:37talking to and she goes, what time are you leaving? I was so
- 49:45glad she called her bluff. Yeah. That was awesome. Yeah, because
- 49:51so many times when on these shows where it's like that's it, this is
- 49:53I'm done. I can't take this any I am done, and they're never
- 49:57done. They're never no. So I love Lisa did that. I would
- 50:01have gotten I wish she went a step further and had a car waiting for
- 50:05her, because Hannah's like, I'm not and she's like, well, I
- 50:09thought you packed your bags, yes, and she's like, you're not packed
- 50:14anymore. And then she does her whole like the Chateau is a life lesson.
- 50:20This is about evolving and becoming the next version of yourself, entering a
- 50:24different dimension. It's like, what the fuck are you talking about, Lisa,
- 50:30And so then Hannah's crying, and then she's like, why don't you
- 50:32feel like you're enough? I'm a psychotherapist. While you were packing, I
- 50:38was getting my degree in psychotherapy is therapy. And then she's like you are
- 50:45enough. Next, and then we move on, and then we get to
- 50:52the staff meeting, and Lisa's just like Eric, pulling him out and to
- 50:57dig ditches and fixed toilets, and then Steven's to be the official manager.
- 51:01We get the next group in there for Michelle's thirtieth, and so Steven's in
- 51:07charge. What do you think of Stephen's ear candy like ear decor accessorize.
- 51:12I mean, I'm fine with it, it doesn't matter to me one way
- 51:15or the other. I think it's too excessive, like I can't concentrate.
- 51:21Really yeah, I think that if you are in a management position, like
- 51:28I don't think you should have. This is so antiquated. I'm just gonna
- 51:31shot. People are gonna give me shit for it, but I like,
- 51:35don't have it. If you're in the service industry, don't have a nose
- 51:37ring. Okay, that grosses me out, Like I am looking at your
- 51:42nose and there's a piercing through it. That bothers me. Okay, I'm
- 51:45sorry. That's where I draw the I can't the accessories on the ear.
- 51:50It's not gross. It's just distracting and there's nothing else going on except for
- 51:55that. So I feel like, I don't know, it's just not working
- 51:59for me. It's not working for me. What can I say to me?
- 52:00It just looks like a bluetooth thing, Like I just keep thinking that
- 52:05it's I would just I wish it's hockey. I wish it would. But
- 52:08in my mind, I just don't even pay attention to it because that's what
- 52:12It just goes into that like part of my brain where it's like, oh,
- 52:15that's something unrelated, shouldn't be there. It just looks like Claire's meets
- 52:22Game of Thrones. Like I don't know, I just and I love Steven,
- 52:25but he doesn't need it, you know. I feel like something needs
- 52:30to give there. I'm going to really look at this next time. I
- 52:34can't not look at it, so let him have this because maybe it helps
- 52:39him get through the day because he cannot handle an ounce of pressure. I
- 52:45thought he was putting it on until he was puking. I was like,
- 52:49oh, this is real, It's so right. That was sad, and
- 52:54I was glad that Lisa comforted him like a baby bird. You know.
- 52:59That was real nice. I do love this aspect of Lisa that she you
- 53:04know, she was sitting there, She's like, I mean, this is
- 53:06not even worth throwing up your God's fool you pull a baby. It was,
- 53:12and Hannah was there and that was really good, and I loved that
- 53:17Lisa called her out, you know, being there for him. Yeah,
- 53:22Hannah needed a win from Lisa in that moment, So that was good.
- 53:25Yeah, even though you're five minutes. Yeah, the wheels were going to
- 53:31come off as soon as Lisa leaves. That's the Hannah I love to see.
- 53:36I love when Fritz throw that are on there. I love it.
- 53:40The Hannah Princess Diana. Yeah, I love that. That was tough.
- 53:46Yeah, he was upset the cocktails were made too soon. That did seem
- 53:51like the most real moment we've had when it came to actually, uh service
- 53:59if you will, you know, well, but it was legit, like
- 54:00there is a reason you're you're serving a certain level of like elegance. Things
- 54:07needed to come out when they are supposed to, Like it's curious. I
- 54:10didn't think that. I don't think he yeah curated, there you go.
- 54:14I don't think it was bad. No, I don't think any call that
- 54:16out. I just think it was like the first authentic error we've seen.
- 54:21That's what I'm saying. I liked the drama of knowing that someone actually made
- 54:27a genuine mistake and he was genuinely upset. Oh, there have been so
- 54:31many other like Eric deciding to just change up where the party's going to be.
- 54:37Like that was really bad. That sound was totally fake though. That
- 54:40seemed fake to me. Okay, yeah, okay, So that's what I
- 54:45mean. Like they now are starting to get into the real service of it
- 54:51now that Steven's in charge. I feel like we might get some authentic service
- 54:55problems. Did it bother you that they were all so con wet when they
- 55:00out in the pool before lunch, Like the whole staff jumped to Carolyn,
- 55:02Emily just got in checking in the soaking wet in the pool they were all
- 55:09fucking soaking wet, and then they were like, here's lunch, and I'm
- 55:16like, you're dripping in it. Go get some towels. Where the towels,
- 55:23we're the towels. You're you're gonna small stamp, but you can use
- 55:30my towel. It's over it on the fence. Go get it off the
- 55:35fence and then come back over here and get me some potato salad. Then
- 55:43fucking dripping it? What are you doing? Yeah, yeah, so I
- 55:52don't even know what you're talking about. Yeah, they jumped in the pool.
- 55:54It was so stupid, and then pissed him off too. Yeah,
- 55:58it was great. This is I like Stephen being at the Helm and really
- 56:04being worked over by their ridiculousness. So this is where this took a definite
- 56:09step in the right direction of authentic service drama. Yes not yeah, premeditated
- 56:17right when I'm talking about Eric and Marciano all that doing shots off of people's
- 56:22stomachs all that, Yeah, premeditated blah blah blah. So yeah, that
- 56:28was great. The Gothic gallawher Michelle says goodbye to the twenties. Weird,
- 56:32you know, real weird. Yeah, but she was like walking in,
- 56:37like, oh my gosh, this is just like Villa Blanca, and Lisa's
- 56:39like, ha ha ha ha Wow. What was that about. Did Lisa
- 56:44not want her to like call that out? I don't know. And then
- 56:46her next thing she says is she's sitting with somebody and she's like, I'm
- 56:52pomped. I'm like, all right, that's two. We're gonna work Sirin
- 56:58and Tom. Tom. Also, I'm sure she did it just got edited.
- 57:00Yeah, they just edited it out. Oh my god, that's really
- 57:05funny. She was definitely like they need a bit with these parties, you
- 57:09know, so saying goodbye. I mean, they are really silly themes though,
- 57:15you know, they'll get better at it. I don't want it to
- 57:17go away. I would like to see a second season. I'm pretty sure
- 57:22it's renewed. Does Marilyn Emily have a U some gloss? I can't do
- 57:30it. I will not do it. I can't. Did you hear it
- 57:34where I swear it just got renewed? Darling? Great? Am I crazy?
- 57:38I thought it was oh okay, well, I mean I can look
- 57:42it up, you know. Vander Pump Villa uh renewed. Reneude Reuse renewed
- 57:51recycle vander pump Villa renewed for season two. There you go, April second,
- 58:00twenty twenty four. Well, Holle Lou. Yeah, so here's where
- 58:06I want to make the changes for the next season. And this is gonna
- 58:13be wild. All right, Okay, are you ready for this? I'm
- 58:16ready? Okay. Remember at the end of each episode, they have these
- 58:21little outtakes, and this episode the Donkey, they're looking at the donkey and
- 58:28Lisa goes the donkey hat. It's nuts choked off, right, and they
- 58:32had like bits and they're doing bits and they're being funny. I love those
- 58:37parts because they actually seem real. They do. But nine times out of
- 58:43ten, is that the first one you watched? Because it's usually Eric doing
- 58:45a terrible sketch. Yes, but Eric fixing the toilets last week, or
- 58:52somebody doing something last week. Maybe it was Marciano doing the dishes and he
- 58:57was like plunging. Something happened where it looked very real. It was kind
- 59:01of funny. So here's what I'm thinking, because there was so much Lisa
- 59:07in this episode, Like this was just Lisa from wall to wall, you
- 59:13know what I mean. And what I'm thinking is is that we have.
- 59:21It's like the making of a reality show, and you have these outtakes where
- 59:25they're setting up for the scene that's supposed to be filmed, and we show
- 59:32them setting up and all the bullshit that happens in between the scenes where they're
- 59:36goofing around and actually being authentic with each other about shooting a reality show,
- 59:40and then we see the actual scene and it kind of switches the look of
- 59:46it, the grain of it, if you will, the cinematical experience,
- 59:50the filter or whatever, so that you switch back and forth between the two,
- 59:54so that when you see it it's like glossy when it's actually you're filming
- 59:59it and you're seeing the scene from that's going to be on the reality show.
- 1:00:02But then you go back to like how we're going to set up the
- 1:00:05next scene and you see the reality of the reality show. Well, yeah,
- 1:00:10the show we've it has it doesn't really have its voice yet, I
- 1:00:16think. And so that's the thing that we keep butting up against because it's
- 1:00:21like it's is it Lisa's House of Manners? Is it like a reality is
- 1:00:28it Vanderbumpt Rules and the and it takes such hard turns that it's hard to
- 1:00:34stay grounded or even believe yes, So when you have these moments that are
- 1:00:40grounded, it's like when they're goofing around and kind of making fun of the
- 1:00:45fact that they're shooting a reality show. And that's what I like about it.
- 1:00:50And no one has really done that before, or if they have,
- 1:00:52they certainly haven't haven't done it well. And like they did have the Bachelor
- 1:01:00show that was like a scripted show, you know about the Bachelor, So
- 1:01:07that would be kind of along the lines of what I'm talking about, but
- 1:01:10not so intense as that was right right, right, But some changes need
- 1:01:16to be made, and I just think that would be such a fun idea
- 1:01:20for a show. Yeah, no one's ever done it before, And so
- 1:01:22call me, I'll fly me out to France, I'll direct, I'll produce
- 1:01:27shit out of it. You just wound up hanging with Marciano. Oh,
- 1:01:32let me get my hands on him. I did love them preparing for the
- 1:01:37Gothic dinner. Wait, no, I'm sorry, not the Gothic dinner.
- 1:01:39I liked the the coat dassoure, the blue coast, the hydrangeas. Yeah,
- 1:01:45the white tall tablecloth, the caviar Billini the sea bass, the dragon
- 1:01:50fruit, Margarita's looked amazing. So yeah, oh, what did you think
- 1:01:54about when the staff like just changed clothes and we're hanging out with the guests.
- 1:02:00Hate it? Hate it every time. Hate it. It's so like
- 1:02:02Hannah, it's like like shoehorning her way into a conversation with Nikki. This,
- 1:02:07the whole thing is too weird for me. Yeah, that needs to
- 1:02:12be really ironed out. I mean, she and Nikki apolog they like,
- 1:02:15Hannah apologized to Nicki and she gave her a chance after Lisa talked to her
- 1:02:20and was like, give her a chance. So she did apologize, and
- 1:02:22now they're kind of starting from crown zero. But yeah, I don't like
- 1:02:28it. It's so weird. They need to eat because at this point then
- 1:02:31anybody that comes to the chateau is going to be it's like now an immersive
- 1:02:37experience with reality TV. Yeah, and season one you can kind of get
- 1:02:43away with it in terms of the viewers at home, but now it's just
- 1:02:46going to feel like every guest knows what this is and they're going to like
- 1:02:50that one guest be trying to have a part of the action that that that
- 1:02:54bachelorette party where that guy was like trying to like, we need to get
- 1:03:00it all out right now and talk about the drama like I don't want all
- 1:03:05that. I don't want I don't want there to be a like oh we
- 1:03:08went and we got two fights, right, yes, yes, yeah,
- 1:03:15I don't I don't want that. I need it to be real, like
- 1:03:17below deck, there's there's boundaries, and I'm I need that because that's that
- 1:03:23feels real to me. I don't want to see I don't want the guests
- 1:03:29involved and just feels so bizarre. It's like they're trying something to have them
- 1:03:35do instead of a crew night out because they can't really leave. They're all
- 1:03:38doing it there, and I understand their point, like I get this,
- 1:03:43I get what they're trying to do, but there's gonna have to be some
- 1:03:46sort of like tighter structure if they are going to do that, to which
- 1:03:53it's on the itinerary, dinner service, deserve, after dinner, drinks,
- 1:04:02crew changes, mingle with guests, I meansive, right, but they have
- 1:04:09to make it so that we understand as the viewers that that is not just
- 1:04:15an accident where they just kind of like end up you know, filtering out
- 1:04:19into the patio after their shift is over. We don't know the beginning and
- 1:04:24end of their shift. It's just like a little bit. It needs to
- 1:04:27be cleaned up and more. Yeah, direct right. So, oh,
- 1:04:31by the way, below deck, when Steven that guest texted Fraser that night
- 1:04:38asking if he was like he invited him to his room, yeah, that
- 1:04:43was totally forgot the yeah, and I'm like, yeah, well, I
- 1:04:49wish you would have done it, and then he would have gone up to
- 1:04:53the captain had been like, I can't believe that I went to a crew
- 1:05:00I can't believe that I went to a guest room. That's a fireable offense.
- 1:05:04I need to be fired, like he's now trying to fire himself.
- 1:05:09Anyway. All right, well that was a really fun vander Pump Villa.
- 1:05:15We'll continue to pop into it. I mean, I can't imagine there are
- 1:05:17that many episodes left. I think there are ten. Yeah, there are
- 1:05:20ten and we are on episode eight, so two more to go. Great,
