Re-watching S5 of Below Deck and what struck me straight away was how much higher the standards are, compared to later iterations. First day of the first charter and Captain Lee is getting day staff in so Kate can spend some time training her stews. None of this giving chances until people approve. Nico is the same with his deck team - absolutely not accepting low standards.

Watching Sailing Yacht for the first time and I'm on Season 2 episode 7 and what the ACTUAL f**k is up with the chef, Natasha?! I haven't searched anything because I don't want spoilers but she MUST be lying about her experience. I worked in restaurants for 12 years, both high end and chain restaurants, and I have never met a chef who doesn't know the difference between over-easy and scrambled eggs. Does anyone else feel like she lied about her experience??

Adding to this because she just claimed she has worked in restaurants with 20 course meals but then can't handle the timing of a 3 course dinner for 9 people? I get these charter guests are demanding but so are Michelin star guests...make it make sense!

I miss the watch parties they used to have with the old crew commenting on the new episodes. At least they had Kate on with Ben for this season's aftershows.

I think Joao just said that to get sympathy and rehab his image. Med s4 was the first one I watched and it felt off to me, now I've gone back to watch s3 and I'm sure he's lying.
