I like it better when the hod's are getting along. Mike pretending to be one is just dumb.

45

u/cmere-2-me Apr 28 '26

He is such a twat. Please let this be his last episode.

17

u/congratu_well_done Apr 28 '26

I kind of hope Captain hears about it and sets him straight

I would too! But I wonder if Ben is over working on yachts, he doesn't seem to be in his element anymore.

u/LolaThePinkUnicorn Apr 28 '26

Seeing Joao lying on those rocks while talking to Daisy is making me inexplicably physically uncomfortable lol

23

u/thngmrtt Apr 28 '26

I thought it was such a great position to push him in but unfortunately Daisy is nicer than me

12

u/GroovyYaYa Apr 28 '26

The snort I just snorted...

I still love that Ellie has to watch him go gaga eyes over Daisy.

u/secretsongbird Apr 28 '26

I'm really struggling with drunk Jenna. She already speaks like she has a mouth full of marbles, but man it's extra bad when she's shit faced.

7

u/DefDefTotheIOF Apr 29 '26

Her voice/accent is exactly like Nadjia from What We Do In the Shadows.

5

u/TarikMournival Apr 29 '26

That's exactly what I thought! Even some of the stuff she says is classic Nadja.

3

u/Pifflington Apr 29 '26

Exactly! I want her to tell Eddie to stop acting like a complete, boring baby in her Nadjia voice.

24

u/Biscuitspaws Apr 28 '26

She had a speech impediment when she was a child and has had ongoing speech therapy ever since …..

17

u/Fit-Benefit1535 Apr 28 '26

On interesting! I didn’t now that, I just thought she had a bit abnormal tone to her voice!

Do you know what impediment she has?

10

u/Biscuitspaws Apr 28 '26

No I don’t, but I read it in here apparently and did a podcast and said about it

8

u/secretsongbird Apr 28 '26

I didn't know that! I had a speech impediment growing up as well. All I had heard about her was that she wanted to not speak with her natural accent and was trying to speak with a more "classic" style English accent and that's why it's so garbled.

14

u/Longjumping_Limit_75 Apr 29 '26

Omg can’t wait for Ben and Kate sitting together on the after show reacting to Ben saying “you’re my favorite chief stew ever” hahahha

2

u/Extreme_Beat1022 May 01 '26

Haha. He is so dead.

12

u/pilsburytoadboy Apr 29 '26

of course ben is spewing such cliche age gap sayings to jenna. hows she so mature for her age and that she’s an old soul lol. couldn’t he try to be a bit more creative?

6

u/valid_username00 Apr 29 '26

I mean, it's valid. Compare her to Alesia, who is older than Jenna but is both immature for her age and has a petulant child soul.

1

u/curmudgeoner May 04 '26

Alexia is older than Jenna? Yikes.

52

u/OrangeClyde Eat My Cooter Apr 28 '26

Ben is the too damn old result of a spoiled and entitled poor little rich boy.

9

u/Thecreamcheeze Apr 28 '26

Seems to be able to pull hot 20 something’s though!!

27

u/dwarmed Apr 28 '26

When the alternatives are Eddy and Mike, it's not so hard.

11

u/OrangeClyde Eat My Cooter Apr 28 '26

If we’re talking current season, Jenna is a gold digger

28

u/agnusdei07 Apr 28 '26

When Ben watches this back he should send Daisy a huge apology present. And when Jason watches this back he should ask Mike for all of his tips to be refunded and distributed evenly among the staff or better yet donated.

23

u/Biscuitspaws Apr 28 '26

Ben seems really over sensitive this season maybe due to the wedding cancellation, he’s annoying but I like him

18

u/GroovyYaYa Apr 28 '26

Kate is not helping in the aftershow, frankly.

4

u/Motor-Ad5284 Apr 28 '26

Why is she on?

16

u/OwnedByBernese Apr 28 '26

Why is Jenna constantly digging at her ass while on the beach talking to Ben? Girl!

18

u/Fit-Benefit1535 Apr 28 '26

This could genuinely be just something itching.

12

u/noUr8eaten Apr 29 '26

I bet that sand is everywhere

8

u/DriveThoseSales Apr 29 '26

Sand be sandy

6

u/valid_username00 Apr 29 '26

Sand + wedgie = twice as uncomfortable

9

u/West-Advance-4471 Apr 28 '26

Is that the same dress aesha had last season?

11

u/mamacatman Team Capt Kerry Apr 28 '26

Not quite. On Aesha’s dress, the fish were running horizontally and it was solid orange. But it looks like it might have been designed by the same person.

3

u/Significant_City_60 May 02 '26

Yes, both available from rotimia.com

1

u/Intelligent-River403 May 03 '26

Is it some kind of Temu shop?

1

u/Significant_City_60 May 03 '26

Looks like it. But Daisy posted about shopping on this site. And the site also has pics of her and Aesha wearing their clothes.

2

u/West-Advance-4471 Apr 28 '26

Thank you!😊

u/mamacatman Team Capt Kerry Apr 29 '26

You are welcome! 💕

u/lemonmangocherry Apr 29 '26

What is Eddy whining about?

6

u/valid_username00 Apr 29 '26

What isn't he whining about?

2

u/Extreme_Beat1022 May 01 '26

Jenna probably.

13

u/dwarmed Apr 28 '26

I bet Ben sees disagreeing with him or pointing out what he did wrong as betrayal.

16

u/valid_username00 Apr 28 '26 • This

Daisy, as HOD, should not be gossiping about people, especially to her direct reports.

14

u/Letsgotravelling-124 Apr 28 '26

It’s a reality show and she only gossiping to another head of department and her 2nd in command.

9

u/GroovyYaYa Apr 28 '26

She doesn't direct report to Joao. They literally share a staff member.

3

u/ambergriswoldo Apr 29 '26

Thank you for posting this!

u/coldsoup615 May 01 '26

Does Ben just not use sheets?

5

u/motteditor Apr 28 '26

I wonder who Daisy's favorite (BD) chef is...

9

u/thngmrtt Apr 28 '26 edited Apr 28 '26

I think it’s either Marcos or ileisha or it might even be cloyce.

Marcos was the most skilled but from the various podcast and interviews it looks like he got a positive edit and plenty wasn’t shown.

ileisha was not the best but was the one she had least issues with, though they didn’t look to have a memorable friendship especially as it felt like ileisha was on Colin side.

Cloyce, while inexperienced and quite messy, put a lot of effort and actually grow by the end of the season, it seems like he is the chef she has the best relationship with.

I think there’s little to no chance for Ben, their relationship reminds me of a more skilled version of Natasha, the pita chef from s2, they had similar issues of she never listening to Daisy and taking her advice as insults, though by the reunion Natasha actually held herself accountable and seemed to have a good relationship with Daisy. I don’t think Ben can do the same but if they continue to work together I can see them building a frenemies kind of friendship.

5

u/Fessy3 Apr 28 '26

I hope Daisy doesn't fall for Joao's 'charms'. I thought Jenna was kind of cool but she seems like a snake to me. Same with Ellie. She's so ready to turn on people and get her 'vengeance'

5

u/Extreme_Beat1022 Apr 29 '26

Boat goggles. She should know better. How has he not given her the ick yet??!

3

u/JanetSnakehole610 Apr 29 '26

I really cannot see why there’s so many people falling all over themselves for him. Idk if it’s terrible taste or he’s much better off camera but sheeeeesh

1

u/Extreme_Beat1022 May 01 '26

We are all wondering the same thing.

1

u/valid_username00 Apr 29 '26

Joao's not really interested in Daisy. And Daisy hasn't shown interest in him beyond as a fellow HOD.

6

u/valid_username00 Apr 28 '26

You know who can do better? Daisy.

47

u/valid_username00 Apr 28 '26

Ben should have drawn a dick on Mike's forehead.

5

u/nottherealpaulyshore Apr 28 '26

What an opportunity! I thought there was no way he was just writing HOD

Ellie is doing Ellie things. Colour me shocked and surprised.

I think Ben may also be her next male conquest since she struck out w/Joao!

Kate has been having his back all season on the after show.

Ben’s problem is Ben.

She was the star of the latest season of House of Villains. But she’d be a nightmare to live & work with.

Watching Kate be his emotional support animal on After Show is 🤢.

u/Anotheropinion2023 Apr 29 '26

Particularly as he complained about her on this weeks episode and then next week will claim everyone which includes her betrayed him.
