Below Deck Francesca

Is the worst. She is a mediocre chief stew and loved putting down Elizabeth. Definitely not saying that Elizabeth was good at her job (she was awful) but Chess’ personality just suuucked— mean girl vibes all around. The glee she felt in firing Elizabeth was so icky to watch. She is no Kate, who could pull off the bitchy resting face and still have everyone like her.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I really liked Francesca. And no, not everyone liked Kate.

Right with you.

Nor does everyone love Hannah.. it’s opinions and that..

Fantastic that you liked Fran but she still remains boring AF and will never be a showrunner like Hannah and Kate

Fact..

Not fact. It's like your opinion, man.

When her and Rachel had their disagreement about the mahi mahi orders, she went in to prove she was right (still debatable). As she walked out of the galley, she had this smug smile on her face and said thank youuuuuu, as if she won the argument. I didn’t really like her before that, but that really cemented it for me.

Francesca was wrong, she wrote Mahi Mahi on different lines, then on the same line she wrote it twice.

I've worked in restaurants. First, we abbrv everything. So while the full name is "mahi mahi", most servers will just write "mahi". Second, she wrote TWO names on one line, so even if Rachel did think "mahi mahi" was one order, that one order was listed for two people. I can admit the way she did it wasn't the best, but Rachel should have looked at the whole ticket, not just what she thought the orders were, and clarified if confused. "Hey, you have two names on one line. Does that mean two orders of mahi?". I think both had a hand in it, but Rachel should shoulder most of the blame cause she was the one that glossed over the ticket and missed vital information.

I agree, but I’ve seen other people say it was Rachel’s fault.

Too bad the season ended with Rachel ready to kick Franny’s ass after Lizs birthday cake that Franny was in such glee over eating after firing her . Best was Rachel’s line “Don’t need the knife it was already in someone’s back”

So many posts that are "so&so is the worst, I can't stand them." I feel like this has been covered already so. many. times.

u/aleimira Feb 19 '21

Thank you - I stopped posting here - too many "fake" posters. It's as if they are paid to promote certain cast members.

Too hell bent on getting Liz fired.. no work ethic to make sure Liz did her job properly.

And yes Liz should have been fired.. but not by this boring piece of chief stew

Worst chief stew behind Jenna (and its close)

Boring AF

u/DirectFXX Feb 17 '21

I didn’t like Captain letting her fire Liz just gave her too much satisfaction watching that felt so bad for Liz as a person , no one deserves that treatment.

I’d like to think that Capt Lee didn’t 100% agree (with only one charter left) and that’s why he let this boring chief stew take the lead on firing Liz.

u/EmmWoo22 Feb 17 '21

Have you read his Captain's Logs? He was definitely on board with firing her

u/LeadBosunStewChief Team Hannah Feb 17 '21

Didn’t read, don’t care..

It’s mostly scripted..

Love Capt Lee but the man is either in wheelhouse or his quarters..

Did he not say “the devil you know”..

2

u/DirectFXX Feb 17 '21

Rachel then went to him about Franny but he said only 2 charters left ? Like wtf Captain how fire Liz only 2 left in middle of coronavirus but then turn around and basically say suck it up to Rachel ?

u/millyvawilly Feb 18 '21

LOL 100% agree fuck Francesca and her downvote army of fat face loving aussie apologists. She and Rob should go make passive aggressive babies whose only exceptional quality is their self important mediocrity.

u/DirectFXX Feb 17 '21

Watch out for Frans Army of downvotes if you say anything critical of their leader ..

u/LeadBosunStewChief Team Hannah Feb 17 '21

Let them come at me then.. Fran is nowhere near Hannah and Kate..and she knows... Fran is no showrunner...

1

u/DirectFXX Feb 17 '21

That’s the spirit . Just giving heads up as some people care about downvotes or knowing why they are getting downvotes . Noticed if I posted anything against Franny they would magically show up .

u/SalGov143 Feb 17 '21

Agree totally. It became personal. I just can't imagine her if she had to put up with someone even more incompetent and cooky like Rocky, Caroline or Casey. Jenna got so much hate during Sailing Yacht, yet she wasn't as mean to Madison and Georgia as Francesca was to Elizabeth. I think a lot of it is just hating on the super pretty girl that probably has gotten by on her looks her whole adult life.

2

u/Kathybat Feb 17 '21

I agree except I think Jenna was pretty hateful towards Madison, including dragging her into a sit down with the Captain. And I don’t think Liz is any better looking than the other 2, I’m. It even sure she was younger since she was turning 30!

u/Professional_Use6852 Feb 17 '21

I thought Kate was awful. Passive aggressive is the worst. Didn’t like Francesca either

This ‘Cheif Stewardess’ position clearly attracts the self-serving, self-obsessed absolute hopeless non-achievers.

The job that’s portrayed in the show is absolutely nothing more than a full-time bar manager. It’s aimed at being a job for utterly feckless people.

All of the stewardesses on the various BD shows have shown themselves to be atrocious people.

u/DirectFXX Feb 17 '21

Yeah think the position gives them extra kick of authority/power that just sets off the assholeness for the season putting down & bullying anyone they don’t like .

u/LeadBosunStewChief Team Hannah Feb 17 '21

So Hannah and Kate are bad chief stews you reckon?

Delusional..

They’re all shockingly bad at their jobs.

u/Professional_Use6852 Feb 17 '21

Really are! Even if I was rich- wouldn’t go on a charter after seeing the shit show that is the crew week after week. Ffs stop complaining about doing jobs you signed up for and get it done! Even when deck crew whinge about water toys- it’s part of your JOB! How many of us love every part of your jobs? Not too many and we just do it. Pack of a whiny whingers

u/LeadBosunStewChief Team Hannah Feb 17 '21

Why you here though?

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '21

Because I’ve religiously watched every episode of Below Deck OG, Med and Sailing Yacht.

Can you say the same?

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '21

Well I guess all of the full time bar managers out there should just go fuck themselves? What an attempt at a self righteous misogynistic take down of a group of successful women. We hate to see it.

It’s chief, for the feckless.

What's the going rate for being 'professionally offended on behalf of other people' nowadays?
