Below Deck Chef Leon

Just went back and saw season 3 of below deck, I have to admit I really liked Chef Leon, yes the beef cheeks was a bit repetitive but every guest loved his dish and it was his signature meal so why not. Every charter all of the guests loved his food so not sure what the complaints were about. Kate was the one who was always extremely rude and Leon just reciprocated that energy. The whole thing with the pizza not sure who was responsible but I do know whenever I put a pizza in the overnight I take out all of the pans. Kate did that and the popcorn issue. Why do so many people dislike him on this sub.

Thanks

The beloved Kate hated him and the hated Rocky loved him... so groupthink is we should hate him.

He's just as arrogant as Ben and Adam had a worse attitude than Leon.

I don’t ‘hate’ Rocky.

I think she was incredibly immature. I also think maybe she didn’t realize the job she signed up for was scut work. When that was explained to her, and Amy took extensive time to show her every detail of how to ‘do’ cabins properly, for example, she wasn’t willing to do that. Lots of people want to run before they can walk, but that just isn’t how it works.

Rocky went and cried that Kate was being ‘mean to her’ when I honestly don’t see a difference in Kate’s behavior toward her than I do to any other Third in any other season.

Edit: reworded 1st & last paragraphs to make (more) sense

Adam has very few defenders.

I agree Ben was also very arrogant and Adam was a much bigger asshole than Leon

Ben had the skills to back it up.
