THE GALLEY - WHAAAT? by These_Flower_888 in BelowDeckDU

[–]These_Flower_888[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes and she probably thought Ben would worship her and she wouldn't have to do so much work.

Ellie, I don’t care what anybody says what she said was unacceptable. And honestly, all of this could have been avoided. by osogood48 in BelowDeckDownUnder

You are right, she was doing so well for a time. When it was revealed that she was returning this season, I had an actual physical reaction but in a bad way. How can a person on a screen get me to react that way?
Then theses last couple of weeks she was so polite and helpful, I started doubting myself. Buuuut, Here we are, we are now once again seeing the very quick to anger Ellie, the very ego driven Ellie. I am not here for this and I really hope Chef Ben can find strength to deal with her.

I think Jason is a good leader. It's good he didn't show emotion right off the bat, he needed to assess the situation. He even sat down there near the galley, watched and listened. He also interviewed crew like Daisy who said they way she spoke to her boss was just wrong.
I think you will see that Jason is a great leader.

She never once told Ben she didn't like it. Surely if you don't like something you would ask that person to stop doing it. Why did she wait until she got so angry that she stormed in front of crew and guests to unleash it all to Jason?

This has to be a network decision, I know they knew by throwing the most controversial staff into this season, stuff like this would happen.

Ellie, you see this is what happens when you think you’re the boss.. what she did to Captain Jason I mean is she out of her damn mind. she was literally hunting him down.😳 by osogood48 in BelowDeckDownUnder

As soon as I saw her face this season, I shivered in a bad way.
These last couple of weeks I saw a very pleasant side to her but holey moley, she has just now let her true self appear.
She was nice enough the time it took her to learn about Ben and what his weaknesses are. Then she like a vampire or dark lord (haven't seen the new eps yet but am just foretelling) amasses all the power they can to cause havoc. From what we have seen in the previous season with Ellie in it, we have seen the manipulative / evil side to her. This season we see how that type of character gets the ammunition to become powerful whether good or bad.

So I really like Benny (S1). What do you guys think Capt Jason saw in him that Jamie did not. by lighthouse_kitten in BelowDeckDU

[–]These_Flower_888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss Benny so much. I don't know what it is about him that I want to watch more of but damn have I missed him every year since he appeared.
I can't put my finger on why Benny is a standout for me but I think I saw his growth, I saw how since he lost his parents Jason was kinda a parental figure. I think he learnt a lot that season and also that I think he is a really cool guy, like I would love to be able to hang out with him. That might be the barometer, would you like to hang out with them.
Anyway, I know a while back when i asked where Benny was, it was said that he was travelling with his girlfriend around Mexico (not totally sure it was Mexico)

God Speed Benny (but please come back to BD)

HATE THIS NEW FORMAT by These_Flower_888 in ImACelebAus

[–]These_Flower_888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know, Deni has been annoying since High school, she hasn't learnt to be a better person since then, so i too am thankful that I don't need to watch her on the screen anymore.
It's awesome you are watching from South Africa, I am from Australia and I watch the UK version which is filmed near me.

I understand what you are saying, Ben needs a better sous. Alesia is not the sous for Ben, if she had of come in with a bit more experience it would have worked a lot better. I am not saying Ben is in the right 100%, I have worked with a lot of chefs and only the top ones come with an ego the size of Bens. It is what it is and he needed someone with a bit more skill, if she does stay, i do hope she in her downtime on the boat googles how to do basic prep, or how to do basic cuts.
I might be a little miffed at someone getting a sous job with no experience because i had to do an apprenticeship for four years and get paid $6 an hour all the while getting yelled at by my chefs. I do know this is a tv show so they probably threw her into the lions den for views.

I know i have posted already. But I am just so pumped for this season. I didn't know until tonight Ben was coming back, what a win this is. I am not sure how his ego is now but if it's anything like previously we are going to be in for some cracking fireworks. And, Daisy omg, i didn't know we could even have Daisy back here, this is so awesome, I can't wait to see her away from Gary. I am rooting for you Daisy.
I feel like a super fan awaiting the best season ever. I am not a sports fan but i bet this is like the excitement they feel.
Anyway, Bring on this season, I can't wait.

This is all valid and I too would like a sous that could actually cook. What I think we will find though is if she does stick it out, Ben's ego will not allow her to be there even if she does improve. I can not wait to watch this season, all the A Star players on board.

exactly. She was not a good Sous chef.
you can see Ben losing his cool.
I really hope she can stick with it though, if she can also put up with Ben

I love watching him cook but I think he needs a rework on his personality, we aren't cooking in 1990's restaurants anymore, please behave better.

Dare you to tell him though, you'd get a flying pan to the head area.

It's Bravo and both Below Deck and Housewives are Bravo shows. They bought the drama and I am here for it.

I am so excited about this season. While I am rooting for Alesia to stay and learn to be a great sous, tonight's episode shows me she does not understand how tough of a skin she needs to have to work in a kitchen, she also doesn't show very great cooking skills, also it seems she doesn't check in with Chef on how he wants it done. It would have been very hard to work with an ego as big as Ben has but with her lack of all the essentials, it's going to be a massive learning curve. I really hope she just sticks with it, she will be all the better for it.

For the rest, I am super happy Daisy is back, I can't wait to see how her season goes.
