At 1:50 a.m., King Ray asks Barbie for lobster grilled cheese.
I get wanting to keep expectations low, but that is not luxury service.
The primary Carmen is angry and disrespectful, swearing that they better have some shit she likes.
After that display, shes lucky not to be served a literal shit sandwich.
Improvising in the galley, Barbie Googles how to make a BLT.
Why she wouldnt just make grilled cheese without lobster is beyond me.
She enlists Kyles help and they struggle to turn on the stove.
Barbie grew up with nannies who cooked and doesnt even know how to make PB&J.
Again, its in the name.
There is nothing more to it.
Basic cooking skills feels like it should be a prerequisite for a stew job.
Also, weve seen boats in past seasons with frozen food for this sort of request.
The next morning, Dylan goes to Xandi for advice.
At breakfast, again, its an issue that they dont have ham alternatives because Carmen doesnt eat pork.
Anthony apologizes and explains they tried to order it but couldnt get it in the Caribbean.
Unfortunately, Anthonys terrible day continues with a beach picnic.
Fraser doesnt want him cooking on the beach because he doesnt want to do anything more challenging.
Carmen thinks he just cut up regular noodles.
Trying to be nice, Ben says it looks tasty.
It decidedly does not.
Fraser tells Kerry lunch didnt go well and Kerry says its time to start looking at resumes.
He doesnt mind giving guidance but doesnt feel like Anthonys learned.
The theme tonight is movie premiere, but the guests dont have a unified view of what that means.
Ray orders lobster grilled cheese for later, to which Anthony says, Absolutely, sir.
He inexplicably makes turkey paninis instead and leaves them with Barbie.
When she delivers them, Rays like, what is this melted bullshit cheddar?
Its 1:06 a.m., and Barbie decides to have Kyle wake Chef up.
This poor attempt at mindgames doesnt faze Sunny.
She says she knows he wanted to be the lead.
Lying through his teeth, Dylan claims he doesnt really care.
At the tip meeting Im surprised to remember this was only Pariss first charter.
The tip is $17,250, the new lowest of the season.
Fraser thinks it was indeed because of the food.
The meals lost any sense of superior standard.
Kerry says theres more to being a greatsuperyachtchef than just being an amazing chef.
Anthony is stunned; hes never been fired before.
My heart breaks for him as he cries packing up in the galley.
It doesnt last long, though, because the job is more important to Fraser.
Barbies worried about the next chef because all chefs are batshit [crazy].
Kerry teases that its someone with experience perhaps a returning cast member?
Its only been six charters, and the St. David has already lost three people.
This casting approach of hiring people who wont last the whole season is exhausting.
I was really hoping Anthony would make it til the end.
Barbie says hes not allowed in her bed tonight.
Ben doesnt love getting a taste of his own flirty medicine.
Barbie and Kyle make eyes across the table and go for a talk.
Kyle is not the modest, stable Jewish guy shes looking to date.
Worst of all, she doesnt think her dad would support it.
Its kind of nice theyre on the same page about each others vastly different levels of laid backness.
Dylan dares Barbie to pick a guy to make out with.
This is Kyles moment!
Except Barbie chooses to down her drink instead.
Kyle dares Ben to swap clothes with Xandi.
Her pants fit him disturbingly well.
Back on the boat, Dylan asks Sunny whats going on with her and Ben.
She downplays it, a fatal error that makes Dylan think he has a shot.
He tries to kiss her over a burger in the crew mess (so romantic) and she swerves.
Sunny is not doing that.
Sunny, unlike Ben, doesnt want to get involved with someone shes supervising.
More importantly, she hasnt forgotten that he trash talked her behind her back.
Despite what Dylan may have read online, negging doesnt work.
Barbie goes back on her earlier word and asks Kyle to go to bed with her.
They then move to the bathroom for privacy.
She tells us shes falling for him because hes been her rock this whole time.
I would love to get a directors commentary-like cut of the show with Barbies dads reactions.
Xandi is anti-tipping: I didnt order gratuity.
Paris, re: the guys on the boat: Nah, Im good.
The girls found a mystery reddish stain on a pillow.
Xandi: All bodily fluids look the same at some point, dont they?
