Izzy Wishes She Was a Fly on the Wall for THAT Preference Meeting | Below Deck After Show (S8 Ep7)

She ( the chef) was 100% correct about these guests. They should never have been accepted as charter guests EVER.

[@michelejohnson28]

I’m sure they were accepted and encouraged by production. It sounds like someone thought it would be great tv to have an extreme preference sheet(s), and watch sparks fly. They severely miscalculated what was appropriate and what other factors were coming into play (covid starting up). I hate when artificial chaos is used on reality shows. It’s unnecessary and makes a show unwatchable past the first few seasons.

[@janegotshalk6105]

Spot on! This is a chef who cares about her reputation and is not going to let a group of pretentious spoiled brats ruin it. Even though she was over the top with Captain Lee, I don't think her behavior was that out of character for Michelin star chefs. They demand a lot out of themselves and she knew this was a set up for failure.

[@freed4q628]

So Rachael came back last nite, begging for her job back. The six flaming charter guests were obnoxious but nowhere near as despicable as some other groups on past shows. Clearly, this whole "drama" was scripted from top to bottom.

They painted Francesca in a very bad light this season as if she was lazy & not a good Chief Stew. She could have been more attentive to the guests with serving them the first few charters every meal; but people don’t realize everything that just be down behind the scenes of any working machine and that’s the ONLY thing I can even think of at all. I’m a manager myself and employees under you take everything SO personally as if everything isn’t just business and as if things don’t HAVE to be dealt with when in a higher position. Elizabeth doesn’t take responsibility or even just LEARN from mistakes, she just takes it personally! Those who are not managers usually don’t understand. I like Francesca. If my employees whined like Elizabeth did about the bleach, (or anything else) I wouldn’t have it -she could have simply said “yes ma’am I’m sorry” and just LEARNED from the mistakes!- she would be an amazing stew or even Chief stew someday if she wanted to absorb knowledge through experience. Francesca is just also painted as a bit “boring” this season since there wasn’t any good drama between crew members this year - were used to our fav CS (Kate) being a infamous one-liner spitfire who always had some drama w the girls. hope Francesca is back for another season! 🛥

I think the Chef was a little extra and partially used the guest as an out to go home to her boyfriend.(lame) Honey... chill out. Just calmly decline.

Elizabeth is annoying with this she had an additide so I did bad work...maybe you just weren't doing your best and listening

I can totally understand, after watching Eddie the second time, why Rocky and he hooked up. They are both all American pure people.

Oh she knows about the Covid first. Make sense now. She’s already longing for her BF and tge preference sheet is the last straw!

[@myskibunny4191]

Still no excuse for being so rude and disrespectful to Captain Lee. It only showed just how ignorant she truly is.

[@zvinomnomnom157]

@@myskibunny4191 Rachel keeps on saying I respected you Capt Lee but I think when she is under such a great amount of stress, sometimes the devil automatically comes out of the mouth. Rachel is a wonderful person and amazing chef but she needs help to control such mixed intense emotions that clouded her decision-making and depart from the reality of civility.

[@zvinomnomnom157]

[@CS-pi5oc]

Up front there should be basic limits on what can be requested. They requested a special meal at every meal. Rachael wants to be a mom so the mouth control needs to happen ASAP. Her boyfriend levels her she says. Girl that gets old real quickly. Take care of your dang self. Self control is necessary. I’ll miss her bc she really put out effort & she was funny. Don’t tell me we will be seeing Ben & his bare butt as replacement.

I respect Rachel 100% It’s up to the boat to set parameters My preference sheet No meat No eggplant Let the amazing chefs do their thing!

[@Gitsie007]

Wow, she comes back but the back story of the lockdowns and covid makes sense. Still, her responses were OOT. I do agree that that preference sheet was ridiculous. She was obviously drunk too

[@anjar4196]

I think her response was so unprofessional, she could said it a different way,but having that mouth,it’s a no go. And she should know if you have to work on a boat you will be separated. But the way she spoke just not doing it for me.

[@Gypsymom08]

@@anjar4196 I would have let them know the preferences were over the top but would never use that language with a superior. Then again I’m also 59 years old.

After seeing her think she could actually be America's next top model, I knew she was crazy. Was patiently waiting for it to show on below deck

[@peacelife]

OMG! Don't want to hear Eliz talk and complaint about the rest of the season and even commentary now. So damn annoying! If you see your superior not happy with your work- figure out what you do wrong. It doesn't take a chemist to know you should not mix hot water and it should air out. That could be really bad. Elizabeth! when you say sorry for your mistake- meant it!!

[@jaynehudson9121]
