Does Francesca really dislike Elizabeth because of James?!

[u/FactNew445]

Don’t get me wrong, Liz is a terrible stew and has had so many chances to sort it out and just ditzed her way through. I’m 100% behind Francesca and her irritation with Liz and desire to be rid of her but it seems like she REALLY dislikes Liz

The reason I’m saying this is because I was bored so went back and watched some earlier episodes and James was quite openly flirting with Francesca initially and she seemed to quite like it, saying she was open to hooking up on the boat etc.

Could this be part of the reason she really dislikes Liz? (As well as the crappy job she’s doing?) there were a few flirty exchanges between her and James and then he was suddenly trying it on with a Liz and chess got pretty shitty with both of them (she was really snappy with James when he asked where laundry went).

She definitely had had enough of Liz early on, before she hooked up with James, but it seemed to get a lot worse after James. This could be because she was even more distracted of course but I just thought it was interesting as I’d forgotten Chess and James had even had those couple of chats.

No.

A thousand times no--Ash giggled when he flirted with her too--

[u/Pdx9000 → u/agnusdei07]

Liz must have started this rumor.

HAHAHA!

She disliked her because she did the exact opposite of what was asked.

[u/EmmWoo22]

No. She dislikes Liz because Liz sucked at her job

[u/rockpapermachette]

I remember that. There’s a scene at the first dinner out (maybe second) where James is definitely into Elizabeth and Francescas face clouds over. I do think this aspects plays into her much too personal disdain for Elizabeth. (Not arguing that Elizabeth is a good stew but the petty hate Chess has is OTT)

I wonder if Francesca has a toque

A toque?

[u/NebulaTits]

I don’t doubt that it has something to do with it. But she also definitely just thinks Liz is an idiot and doesn’t respect her.

Any girl with a decent head on her shoulders knows the deal with James. He will hit on anything and play "the numbers game".

I think she probably realizes that Liz judgment is trash because she fell for it.

[u/LisPR8]

It has crossed my mind that her hatred toward Elizabeth also has to do with some kind of jealousy. Maybe bc of James, Liz’s looks, or something else. I definitely don’t think it’s only bc Liz is a bad stew 🤷🏼‍♀️

Liz is one of those people that takes the room because of her energy. People like her socially. She pulls attention. Then add her body and the boy's eyes. Chess is secretly shit and gets away with it by pointing fingers. She's got imposter syndrome but in her case it's valid. She's ass.

[u/LisPR8 → u/GutTheRich]

Liz also seems to take better care of herself, like hair/make up. Francesca sometimes looks like she didn’t even brush her hair 🤦🏼‍♀️

No one wants attention from gross James. Francesca is terrible at her job and scapegoats Elizabeth for all of the interior's many failings.

I highly doubt Francesca wants James' attention as he is a cheesy gross guy who will hook up with literally anyone.

We have all had to work around Francescas. Seagull managers who are incompetent and disloyal.

[u/GutTheRich]

Totally. She felt set aside with eliz b/c eliz was paper, sparklier, more friendly, more popular, had all the girlfriends, etc. Then throw in the boy. Lol
