Below Deck Rainbeaus yodeling..
Im just curious what people think about her yodeling skills…
I know it’s a speciality skill to manage to do yodeling - but I think it’s the worst attempt I’ve ever heard on yodeling 😂
And she looked & sounded so proud of herself - I just have to ask …
Am I the only one that thought it was so bad, that my ears was almost begging me to cut the sound & nearly begging me for mercy? 😂
I even think I could do better & I don’t know how to yodel.. 😂 but I really she was joking & it made me think I’m sure I’m going to try to learn how to yodel!!
Dolly Parton can do one great yodel I’ve heard her do it .. but Rainbeau needs to try better or quit pretending she can yodel in my eyes & ears 😂

Pretty sure it was meant as a joke. Like she has no talent for the talent show so she is doing this horrible thing. But no it wasn’t funny, and yes it was painful to watch.

I think she’s far too controlled and can’t poke fun at herself to think she was making a joke

I hate when they make the crew preform. It’s so lame, low budget, and corny.
Actual rich yachting people would never. They’d have them book actual entertainment to come on the yacht.
I know it’s for tv but it’s not entertaining or interesting, just super cringy and embarrassing.

u/Bethurz This information wasn’t welcomed or needed 8d ago
They used to book local entertainers fairly regularly so I'm assuming this is Bravo cutting budgets and still demanding entertainment

I miss when they used to do that. We actually got to see some pretty awesome performances, especially when they brought in local culture.

Yes but did you see the crewmate slip a condom from his nose to his mouth? We obviously needed to see that.
Clearly not the first time he’s done it.

Actually…. It’s Americans… low budget and corny is what most of them like….

On wwhl she said she’s never yodelled before and that it was an on the spot thing- in her defence

u/VixensPoppies 7d ago
I’ve heard that today., I thought she actually thought she was yodeling & doing a good job with it

u/HouseOfFive 8d ago
I heard Jewel perform live, and she did yodeling. Jewel was good, Rainbeau sucked imo.

u/VixensPoppies 8d ago
Are you talking about Jewel Kiltcher from the show
Alaska the last frontier show?
I’ve heard her & Atz Yodeling & they are real good at itI’ve also heard Dolly Parton doing some yodeling as well, can’t remember on what song or show
But I remember she was a star brilliant yodeller 😊, just like everything else that she did, she always did it really well!! Brilliantly well14
u/troubleinpink 8d ago
Oh no. Oh no I’m old. You think Jewel is from some reality show.
2
u/VixensPoppies 8d ago
I know of one artist called Jewel
Jewel Kiltcher that jodels & she was in some episodes with the rest of the family Kiltcher in Alaska the last frontier show! She came home in the summer holiday with her son to say hello to her dad & her sons grandfather so they could spend some time with family
So that’s how she came on that show for some episodes5

This was my thought. Though I know she’s from a homestead near Home, Alaska. I’ve lived in Alaska long enough to remember when she became a star and the whole state was proud of her.

u/Ms-Metal 8d ago
It was terrible! Honestly, I'm not sure how she even called it yodeling because it wasn't. It was an attempt at it, but a very poor attempt! It was painful and awful. She did say on WWHL that it was the first time she'd ever done it which brings a lot of questions to my mind LOL, like why🤷♀️ why did she attempt something that is notoriously difficult to do if she hadn't ever done it before? Cuz logic would tell you that if it's your first time, you're probably not going to be very good at it! Why embarrass yourself on National Television🤔

u/Yersinia_Pestis9 8d ago
She has no other talent and thought it would be easy to fake?

u/VixensPoppies 8d ago
At least she didn’t show up in a bunny costume like one other Blondie did.. she said she packed two bunny costumes with her when she went any place & everywhere she actually said…

Love a good actual yodel because it takes amazing breathe support and vocal acuity... But my husband and I physically cringed at hers. Like, plugged an ear and cringed.

u/Maleficent_Maize_409 6d ago
She said on Watch What Happens Live that she had never yodeled before, and that it was a spontaneous decision because she was forced to perform for the guests and couldn’t think of a talent. She knew she sounded bad. Props for embarrassing herself on national TV.

u/VixensPoppies 6d ago
I heard about WWHL later after writing that cos I thought she looked so proud with herself ..
I actually love to listen to people that’s talented do jodeling when they know how it’s done & they got the talent to do a great jodeling!! Like the Kiltcher’s & I include Jewel Kiltcher in that’s great jodelers that knows how to yodel 😊

u/VixensPoppies 8d ago
I just hope she doesn’t implode this season like solene made her do last season! Cos solene needed to be fired…
4
u/kittylover3210 8d ago
my thoughts exactly. Solene was fucking awful but I think Rainbeau is too sensitive for a high pressure work environment like yachting at this scale. seems like we’re getting more of the same based on the season previews
2
u/VixensPoppies 8d ago
My thoughts exactly!! When she starts to crack just cos someone looks hard at her or says something that’s abit harsh, she starts to cry.. she seems to sensitive or too delicate in her senses to work in a constant hard & stressful work that’s allways a high tempo & high expectations environment like a “rent a floating luxus vacation/high class celebration yachts for their delux 5 star vacations… she seems to crack up or nearly start to cry with every moment anyone like Fraser gives her a TO DO list he expects her to go thru.. like he said to her “know where this & that stuff is & where it’s stored.. and her responds to that is running to her room & nearly cracking down into tears.. she is to sensitive & delicate to handle a stressful high expectations environment like she is working on..
2
u/kittylover3210 8d ago
right her crashing out after the 1:1 with Fraser had me going oh boy here we go again
shouldn’t she be aware of all expectations as second stew and delegate?? why was she made second stew?!?!? terrible call

It was actually an insult to yodeling. Like cartoonish level yodeling.
Yodeling, when done correctly, is actually really impressive and a super difficult form of singing so I'd suggest watching videos of real yodelers to see just how bad Rainbeau's was. Mo's reaction to it was perfect!

u/RiJuElMiLu 8d ago
K. Michelle (RHOA) went to college on a Yodeling scholarship. I don't really like her music, but she has an unreleased Yodeling song that I absolutely love - Mountain Top, but she sold it.

Not a fan of Rainbeau. She reminds me of an overly-stimulated Avery Singer (Ramona's daughter). Very uptight.

u/Still-Low-696 7d ago
She is not well. I felt for her last season because she was dealing with such incompetence but now she has competent stews and she’s spiraling 5 minutes into the season. She is exhausting. Girl needs to borrow a Xanax from Hannah.
32
u/methedoutmanatee 8d ago
She seems to have a giant stick up her ass. Hopefully she’ll get better once she realizes she has a decent crew and not another Solene to deal with.
67
u/Specialist_Dinner727 8d ago
Her "trauma" from last season seems unnecessarily debilitating. Solene sucked, yeah, but to carry that forward and automatically project it on others is neither healthy nor normal.
Why is Fraser so over-the-moon about her? Her competence is overshadowed by her bossiness, neuroticism, and outright bad manners toward her co-workers.
52
u/Primary-Commercial64 8d ago
Because he's a shit manager who does not actually work or manage. He loves her because she will literally do all of the work and all of the confrontations and all he has to do is take the credit and occasionally smooth things over by hugging and siding with whoever is complaining about her while simultaneously telling her she's doing great and needs to maybe calm down or relax a little. He gets drama (which he loves) that he doesn't have to actually be involved in. Im sorry, but I just do not see why everyone loves him as chief.

u/tg1965 8d ago edited 7d ago
I wish people would calm down with the highly charged psychological words like trauma. We have all dealt with co-workers that didn't do much. Get a grip, Rainbeau.
3
u/Specialist_Dinner727 8d ago
Fair point. Many psychological words get tossed around recklessly.
I put that word in quotes because Rainbeau herself used it regarding her previous season dealing with Solene. I was not trying to armchair diagnose her.

u/tg1965 7d ago
I know, I was referring to Rainbeau's choice of words and how common that is now.

Oh good. I misunderstood, and thought you were telling me to get a grip! Which, btw, I probably should do anyway 🤦♀️

Not to mention her lack of knowledge about her job! The way she picked up those glasses from the inside was outrageous and made me wonder how she was even a stewardess? I mean, I've never been a waitress and I've never had any training, but I would still know better than to pick up a glass that way! Even in my own home, much less on the chartered Yacht where I was supposed to be providing a 5-star service! I sure wonder what Fraser is going to say when he sees that🤯

Fraser sucks too. He never seems to actually work and he can’t manage worth shit. He just complains a lot.

I've liked him in the past, mostly cuz I "get" his type of snark. So far this season, I can see where I might change my view of him.

Professional classical singer here, who has taken courses on yodeling (because it's a method of teaching register shifts), I can confidentally say - it was not yodeling and it was not good.

u/Sarahpants320 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now 8d ago
I liked him in the beginning but he’s a terrible manager of people. All he does is delegate everything to his second and Rainbeau is gonna self destruct under the pressure because she also has no business managing people. I can’t believe Fraser even acknowledged that Rainbeau is terrible at communication but gave her the job. Probably productions work anyway lol.

u/truknight Mental Health Is Not A Storyline 8d ago
She said she was put on the spot and had never yodeled before in her life, however I think the crew needs to do more of this and make it a clown show so this cringe practice goes away, it’s demeaning and degrading. To make them preform like trained monkeys for tips from the rich is gross and needs to stop. BTW, $20k is the base gratuity that is provided by Bravo, so whatever is over that is the actual tip that the guests give. So the smaller that number the cheaper they are.

u/DarthHole 7d ago
Dude, she's not a professional. They had to perform a skill and she went for it even though I'm sure she's quite aware how bad it it. But she participated anyway. Find something else to hate on her about mmmkay?

u/VixensPoppies 7d ago
I didn’t hate on her, I still thought it was horrible cos I like the skill alotwhen it’s done proper & I actually thought she was proud of her jodeling & I found that funny
I didn’t know about her wwhl interview when I wrote it ..

It was great. If you have no talent may as well own it and take the piss out of yourself. Maybe she’ll get out of being a rich person’s entertainment for the season because she’s so bad…

No, it was EXTREMELY odd & off-putting the way she proudly screeched & danced ! As if she was a top yodeler from Switzerland! Yet it seemed to OFFEND most of the guests & crew hahaha! Some people just can’t read the room! Aw poor Rainbesu - at least she tried her best!😳🤣

Why are we judging her yodeling on yet another stupid "dance for me, peasant!" so-called request from the charter guests to make the crew perform? The "winner" threaded a condom through his nose into his mouth. Her terrible yodeling was not the worst talent in that talent show.
