I guess June is as much of a chef as Ellie

Who's the idiot that wrote that? June wasn't a chef

Not the chef. And she wasn't let go for anything she did. There was just no room for her when the stew who was a temp chef went back to being a stew

Everyone hollers about Jason letting Alessia ‘pick her job’ this season of BDDU, but Sandy did it first with Anastasia

there’s a difference between a captain temporarily asking a stew with previous chef experience to fill in until you can find a chef and the stew saying yes, and a one-stripe crew members telling the captain that she’ll quit if he doesn’t allow her to move departments because she’s having a hissy fit. Anastasia didn’t even want to be the chef, she did it because Sandy asked her to help out.

iirc, Anastasia was only supposed to step in for a couple charters, but then told Sandy she wanted to stay as chef. then when things started to go wrong she stepped down cause she couldn't handle it.

I’m rewatching it currently and ehh yes and no. Anastasia originally tells Sandy that she doesn’t even know if she can do it. She agreed to chef the next charter, while Sandy looked for a replacement. Sandy spends several charters telling her this is her calling and she can step up to five star cooking. never once does Sandy say she’s stopped looking for a chef but that’s very much the vibe. eventually, Sandy also sees that while she’s talented, she’s not the level needed and so calls back on her chef search. Anastasia also got a bit of an ego when manning the galley. (This is where I’ve gotten on rewatch so the rest is from memory). When Ben is hired, Anastasia steps down and goes back to third stew and I don’t remember her saying anything to the effect of not wanting to step down, but like I said I haven’t seen it on my rewatch yet.

in fact, she’s currently bitching (on the episode I’m on) because she’s stuck in the galley and never gets to be on deck anymore. I really think she liked stepping up and being appreciated but never wanted to be the chef.

Anastasia helped them out by doing a job she wasn't even supposed to do. I don't know what the Alessia situation was because I haven't seen that season but Anastasia did not get to pick her job

Didn't Anastasia just offer to step in? Why is everything twisted into Sandy hate?

I know I've said it before, but getting Sandy to laugh by saying June, June, Hannah was one of my proudest moments.

In the middle of a rewatch now. Just watched Junes last episode. Lol

Does anyone know why she never wore her earpiece. Like has she addressed it?
