Guest Is Left In Tears Over Chef Rachel's Failure | Below Deck | E4

[@chessicaambrose2014]

This is absolutely ridiculous. I do feel bad that she has her jaw wired shut, but I agree with everyone who says that she should have stayed home. It’s unreasonable to come on vacation and be pissed at the chef because she didn’t strain her food enough. Rachel seems like an amazing chef, and I’m sure that was very difficult getting the right texture for those purees on top of making everyone else’s meal too

[@lesleyallinson8738]

If I had my jawsxsired I would have stayed at home

[@CuriousBee7]

I mean she wasn’t pissed she nicely said it needed to be strained more, which is extremely valid. & I mean they really could have made sure her food was out when everyone else’s was.

[@chessicaambrose2014]

Yes, I agree, but I also think going a cruise ship vacay with a jaw problem at the time is odd.

[@olivia.1111.]

@@CuriousBee7then everyone else would be complaining abt their food being cold. its a lose/lose situation that lady shouldnt have went on a cruise with her jaw wired shut. plus did u not see her literally start crying and freaking out abt it . she just wanted to make everyone else miserable and she accomplished that

i was thinking the same like if your surgery is going to be in the way of your fun on the boat then dont come

[@effkay3691]

You feel bad for HER?

[@Ashbash-kf5xd]

It’s an awkward position for everyone else, like how are you supposed to eat in front of her??? If I were in that position, I would’ve gotten a juicer, made her something, served her while you cook for everyone else, so she has something to start with. But seriously,…. If you’re rich enough to afford a yacht charter,…. Schedule it when you can actually eat the food you’re paying for.

[@carlee5432]

God forbid someone with a short term disability wants to exist too How about she's paying for it, she should fucking get it

[@BR.1991]

Same. I had major surgery for crohns and I had to have a liquid diet for like 2 months or so and I would have NEVER done this. I feel bad for her and can't imagine how horrible that would be but like, she's guilt tripping everyone......

[@ladyhexton3773]

Why would you go on a trip with such an emphasis on food with your jaw wired shut? If you have the means to charter a yacht for 10 days, you can wait until you recover to take your vacation.

[@janicelee861]

She should have stayed home. I feel sorry for her friends. She should have stay home. Her doctor should have said no. Her attitude sucks.

[@h1a1n1n1a1h]

I wonder how early a crew gets this notice because that is a very difficult situation for a chef with limited time and support. On top of that, she wanted all the same foods but super blended. She can’t expect that to be easily done or strained 100% perfect every time. The chef is already super busy with all of the other food.

[@Lilysunday]

This situation is so ridiculous. Completely unrealistic demands.

[@mslittlebit]

Why did she even come...? Just give her a protein shake🥤

[@247mmd]

She is the primary. Hello?!

[@troymcclure5612]

Her jaw wired shut was temporary, but I bet being an entitled whiner was her permanent state of being. It's not forever and you're on a luxury yacht so just deal with it and stop feeling sorry for yourself

[@cigarettesandredlips]

She should have brought her own food tbh. She can't expect a chef to perform magic when she has such limited space and supplies

[@veronicareka]

I fully agree it very childish

[@splatts5768]

I've had my jaw wired....there is no way that you can expect to be able to eat what others are having by "just liquefying" it. It has to be pureed to the nth degree and then put through a fine sieve. I couldn't use a straw but had to use a plastic syringe to feed myself. Lived on meal replacement shakes & milkshakes for 2 months.You can't drink because you are on pain meds......why would you go and make yourself and everyone else miserable.

[@daddams100]

She needed to allow her husband and friends to enjoy the trip and stayed home and heal…to expect everything to revolve around her injury was very selfish. Another trip could be booked once she’s able to enjoy everything.

Who would want liquidised chicken?

[@ultimatesportsmedicine4395]

that chick ate blended oysters :(

[@Countryperson666]

I certainly understand her wanting to be served at the same time as everyonen, but her expectation thst she'd be eating the same as everyone else, just blended was a bit unrealistic. Theres a reason why youre fed protien shakes and other similarly liquid foods when your jaw is wired. It gives you the needed caloric intake without trying to liquify foods that arent meant to be liquid.

[@Morgan_Layfay]

Imagine if her mouth wasn't wired shut...

[@katiekatconway1880]

Well - how bloody stupid to go on what is a basically Michelin star dining charter with a wired jaw!!!!! Why not postpone? More money than sense 😳. The works of art these chefs do in such confined space is truly admirable!

[@sophie9658]

I've had my jaw wired shut, its no fun, blended everything, baby food etc. She could have been more self relient as there are other guests and Rachel should have put her food out first

[@skontheroad]

She didn't need the gazpacho (and btw, it's not "gazpacio"!) strained more. She needed a bigger straw!

[@shirleygoodison4154]

Whatever happened to a period of convalescence. If you need your food liquid, don’t got on a cruise.

[@bryanbryan5214]

She’s a joke… STAY HOME

[@mesepareed9819]

Why didn’t she just bring a drink out with every course they had?!! If she serves chips, make a chips and salsa smoothie, or with the oysters make a virgin Bloody Mary/Caesar spicy with lime juice. Don’t leave out the Primary guest!! 🤦🏽‍♂️💁🏽‍♂️

[@seniorenyore]

thats a good idea!

[@krob7955]

The primaries made a point of her having *the same food as everyone else*. Like take the plate, put everything in a blender, and strain it. Not all foods can be liquified in a blender. That request wasn’t even made until they were already on board. And there was no way for Rachel to know just how fine things needed to be strained. It wasn’t thought through.

[@xr80kk]

I really felt bad for her, but at the same time sometimes injuries affect plans… I haven’t had a private charter or my jaw wired shut so I can’t judge… but I do feel for her, that can’t be an easy injury to endure.

[@katiekatconway1880]

I don’t feel bad for her at all. Acting like a spoiled brat. However they need these batshit crazy guests to make an entertaining show. I know crew go to beautiful places but OMG the chef and especially interior deserve every penny they get. I’d get fired as can’t stand rude arrogant nouveaus.

[@terenasimons5247]

Sucks about the accident but to not be patient and understanding that your friends and husband are allowed to enjoy themselves also without her winging about everything. Of course your hungry your on a liquid diet sweetheart, maybe Oder a protein shake or something before dinner BEcasue of course your going to need more to actually feel full. Takes some initiative and have some common sense you have everything there at your disposal, use it. But be understanding the chief is also organising other meals also. She's just no one can be happy unless I'm happy, selfish woman.

[@jojojo89517]

Jesus christ, this is just unbridled entitlement. I'm sorry you're injured lady. But is it fair to put everyone at an inconvenience because of your injury ? Everyone has to tread on tiptoes around you and can't fully enjoy their meals because they have to sit there and see you sulking about how your blended steaks are late. Either request for soups or just stay at home to fully recover. I had to be on a liquid diet before, it's difficult. But what I didn't do was bring everyone's morale down by sulking during dinner.

[@danmessina6260]

There may be a reason her jaw's wired shut 😂

[@lorir5728]

I couldn't take it. Imagine having something going down and choking and you can't cough it up? What a nightmare. I would rather have a stomach thing.

[@marikamoreau8828]

Omg. First of all, you didn't specify that you wanted baby food. If I was the chef I would have assumed you wanted actual liquid dinners as i soups, runnier mashed potatoes and different youghurts and so on. Secondly, what are you doing on this luxury cruise right now? They should have cancelled and rebooked

[@somsuvramaulik6261]

They shouldn't have come only if her jaws were shut. Lol. That's her problem not the chef's.

[@taylorbolsinger3341]

People need to realize that this trip was probably planned long before her accident and you can just cancel or back out of a trip and expect to get your money back. The charters cost almost $200,000 dollars if not more. Leave all that as side and look at the fact that she’s the primary charter guest so if a diet is needed for her meals, she needs to be served first so I understand the frustration on their end.

[@daddams100]

We realize the trip probably was booked before her injury and non- refundable but it was selfish to have the world to revolve around her to the extent it placed so much burden on the chef to prepare all of her meals and the whole boat( guests and crew) meals by herself. She should’ve stayed home and let the others to go, there would be another time she could go. I know her frustration but…

[@taylorbolsinger3341]

@@daddams100 i’m not disagreeing with that by any means because it probably was a very tall burden to handle. However, we don’t know if they paid for the entire trip or not so if that were me, and I was paying whatever amount the trip was, I would want to go. Especially if it was nonrefundable. We are also only seeing bits and pieces in a clip so we don’t exactly know for sure, if her friends were upset over how she was acting or if they were understanding because a true friend would be understanding. But we don’t know how they felt so at this point we are just assuming that they thought she was a burden. The chef and the crew are also paid and know how these high-end clients are so if this isn’t something that they are willing to accommodate to or be understanding of, then this isn’t the right career or job for them. Again, these are just my thoughts, and I don’t disagree with anything that you were saying, but it’s hard to fully understand a situation when we are not involved and you’re only thing, bits and pieces of a clip from the show.

[@cigarettesandredlips]

These people are rich as fuck. They can back out if they truly wanted to, and they can also bring their own food/chefs/supplies/etc to assist instead of demanding perfection and getting highly upset when hiccups occur. Rachel clearly planned out something for the guest but had to chuck it out the window because she demanded to eat EXACTLY what the others were, just in blended form. That is ridiculous.

[@politova]

Did she had a surgery and can't eat?

[@jennifer_mertens]

I'm sure all the other guests felt like cr2p as well because "the primary" keeps complaining about how hungry she is. Why didn't she bring a liquid diet/protein shake/meal replacement that she could easily eat? I understand her predicament but she's reacting like an entitled baby that can't do anything for herself. There are chefs whose only task is to prepare liquidated food for people. You can't just take a steak and potatoes and throw it in a blender. This one is on the guest 100 percent, it wasn't fair for the chef/servers.

[@marshhen]

She likely had many options packed in a bag. I just find this opportunistic. Any reasonable person would have made allowances for the first night and then clarified how to do it the next day onward.

[@saramckenna9845]

Maybe the unpopular opinion, I think she was being pretty understandable to be honest - she's the co-primary, who's paying the money for the experience, who essentially is the one who hired the chef, by booking the experience. The chef is a professional chef working on a luxury level, this kind of request really isn't that difficult to accommodate or be thoughtful of. Yes, it might take some creativity, but isn't that part of the chef's job? Adapting to a person who's had a medical issue that impacts the way she can physically eat doesnt strike me as a difficult request to make, theres nothing she can do to change her circumstances. The fact she was just sitting there watching people eat while she's hungry and being left out, I can understand her reaction. She was also trying to be upfront about what she needed in order to feel more comfortable and wasn't really being difficult about it, just frustrated. Just my opinion.

[@naomilemarrec]

the part where i disagree is this request wasnt made clear as soon as she found out and knew she wanted to eat the same things as the guests, the chef had something planned out but the primary insisted on having the SAME thing as the guests, which can be much harder to liquify and also means you prepare everyones plates, then liquify hers hence the time difference, not as much potential to pre prep. the other thing is not clarifying the importance of how strained it needed to be, i didnt know until reading these comments that people need to like triple strain for wired jaws bc even the tiniest molecule of food can be dangerous. she didnt think to bring another chef or warn ahead of time how important this was? she gave her next to no time to prepare, without giving the resources to do it well, and then complained. i somewhat agree w your opinion, but think its more complicated than that and she did partially put herself in that position

[@mythra8494]

@@naomilemarrec Exactly. What people in the comments (who are great at giving their opinions...) seem to don't understand is that she didn't want food specifically prepared for her. She wanted to eat what the others were eating, only blended. Thus, her husband's request for her food to be the first served is ridiculous.

[@holly-hawk]

Oh boy...I'm very experienced in blending/straining for people with a wired-jaw. You knew she had a wired-jaw, when you invited her onboard. Clearly, you didn't know what must be done for a person with a wired jaw. If she would have choked on your barely blended unstrained food, you would have found out the importance of blend well and strain well. 😢

[@mythra8494]

What are you talking about? Invited her onboard? Who invited her on board? She's the primary. Besides, the food she wanted blended was the food that the others were eating, which is a stupid request to make. In her condition she can't eat what others eat, even if blended. The food they were eating wasn't food that can be easily blended.

[@begobertran9739]

People being like 'she should have stayed home and let others enjoy', dude she had an accident and we don't even know how prior to their charter this happened. I bet that going there isn't cheap, and having an injury tho the jaw that requieres it to be shut very likely doesn't have her in an emotionally good situation. Extra to that she is feeling hungry. Sorry, but it is so stupid how people defend the chef when that is her goddamn job.

[@mythra8494]

More stupid is her wanting to have what everyone else is having but liquified. It's an impossible request.
