For all of her faults, tzarina has some of the Most Compellingly Dramatic Psychology of the Below Deck Down Under Cast. ITSIBLE TO TRACE A LINE FROM HER INSESCURITIES TO HER BEHAVIOR, THOUGH THAT LINE IS OFNE WONKY, FILLED WITH RANDOM, INFRURING DETAURS. Because of this, Until Now, I was rooting for her. Her Chaotic Way Made with Think of Her a Fustrating But Dear Friend, the Kind of Friend You Want to Shake the Shoulders. It was annoying that she was so desperate for wihan attention, but i was moved by what Clearly eats at her: her fear of being left. Last Season, she got ditched by a deckhand for another supermodel-looking Crew Member. This Season, Wihan Similarly Dropped HERE CE DEEDED TO PUSUE ADAIR, and SHE FEELS DISMISSED BY LARA, TOO.

I sympathize with her plight – there’s notthing worry than you’re the person who would bend on a narrow sidewalk that only fits three people – but it is beCooming impossible to defy her. This week, her behavior can be summed up like this: you know you Known You’re Being Annoying, and the Realization Only Makes You Annoyed at YourSelf, SO You Double Down and Become Event Moree Annoying? Still Hurt by Lara’s Brady bunch Comment, Tzarina Lets Her GRUDGE FESTER AND BLOOM, STRETCHING INTO The NEXT two Days and Caususg a Series of Events Snowball Way Beyond Their initial proportions. That’s that, we have to recagine that is no Saint, eather.

The Second Day of the Charter Starts Pretty Smoothly. Nick Wonders What Wold Happen if he didn’t actually confess to jason; Alesia Texts Johnny About How Much She Misses Him; Jason Asks Lara to Put Marina on Service for the Day’s Excursion to a Rum Distillery. Lara is resistant to the Advice Since Marina Hasn’t Yet – More than Halfway Through the Season! – Been on Service by Herself. But jason encurages lara to Trust Marina, and Ultimately the Chief Stew Reores. Maybe resenting that things are spinning Ever SO SLIGHTLYReally Just a Hair, out of Her Control, Lara inadvertently (or is it?) BRings chaos into the structure of the which excursion.

Tzarina wants to send aliasi in her place so she sell get ahead of dinner in the Galley, but was adamant that at least one head of department shoulder. Though she doesn’t tel tzarina this, she can’t go herself so as not to undermine jason, but there’s no reason why she is spoken to night. Not Satisfied With Pushing Tzarina to Go, Lara Thats That It Wauld Be Good For Alesia to Interface More With the Guests. Lara delivers all of this prity gently, but tzarina has already decidated to be in a shitty mood and lala’s insistent only makes it work. This Very brief spat in the kitchen is the beginning of the end: with Making any real efort to undertand each other, they’ve both decidated that the other is wrong.

The guests have a great excursion, and Marina Rises to the Occossion, Impresing Lara with Her Service Skills. The only person unhappy with what’s going on is tzarina, who-grant-drives 30 minutes to rum distillary to spend minutes placking the already-coked food. Undersandably Annoyed, she make an irony comment to alesia, nSping if next time she thinks she shaldle handle tinfoil off the dyshes on her own. It lands flat, and you can tell that she didn’t with the way it came out.

In the meantime, nick decides to what’s right and confess his tequila shot with the guests to jason: “I guess i, uh, just kinda got very carried away and i, uh, didn’t – wasn’t – insistent enough and i fucked up, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Shot. ” Jason Looks bewildered, spreads as Much by nick’s Gift of Expression as by His Lack of Discernment; But he’s glad that nick came to him right away, so he let Him get away with it. THEN, SORT OF CRAZILY, NICK GOES AROUND EVERY OTHER MEMBER OF THE DECEAM ABOUT HIS SLIPUP. No One Cares.

When Lara Asks Tzarina, Still Reeling from the Day, How the Excursion Went, The Chef Deadpans: “It was a waste of my time.” When Alesia Gets Back in the Kitchen, Tzarina Shuts Down in a More Extreme Version of the Miscommunication that damaged Her Relationship with Anthony 500 years ago. Alesia Asks What the Game Plan for Dinner is and where she can be helpful and what she can do, but all tzarina can work up to say, “it’s all right.” To make matters work, she overhears alesia thanking lara for fighting for her to go on the excursion. IT’S TRUE THAT LAA MEDDLE MORE THAN SHE NEEDS TO OR SHOULD, but I ALSO THINK IT’S AN Overreaction wen tzarina interprets the exchange as lara “grooming my sous-chef to be against me.”

Harry, who has already noticed Tzarina’s Bad Mood and Who Loves to be the Engine for the Gossip Mill, Goes Out of His Way to Askarina How and Lara are getting along. The True Reason for Tzarina’s Moodiness Emerges: She’s Jealous. She Feels Pushhed Out by Laras Friendship with BRA, WHICH HAS nothing to do what what’s been going on all day. Repeatedly, Tzarina Says that lara is like the mean, cool girl on the playground who gets to decide who is going to be friends with and what game is going to play; But it actually seames like tzarina is the person not caught up in this playground version of Friendship, as if it is incumbent on larn to reassure her that they are friends.

We’re not They Continue to Prepare for Dinner, themed “Lavish Dubai Night” (?), Alesia Tries to Address Tzarina’s Mood, but Tzarina Shruugs off, Saying that she’s tired. Bogged Down by the Horrific Vibe, Alesia Takes a Breather Mid-Way Through Service. Dinner Goes great with the guests, and Marina Enjys another chance to help with the service. She Also Enloys Nick’s Budding Attention, Who Approaches Her With All His Stuttering “Charm.” In a confessional, he tells us that he’s always had Trouble appraaching women, whic is why he thanks God for feminism. Yes, Nick, Exactly! AFTER HORREDS OF YEARS OF OPPRESSION, LIBERATION IS WITHIN OUR REACH IF ONLY WE CAN WORKING UP THE COURSE TO TALK TO YOU. This guy gets on my nerves.

While guests Enjoy a Dinner Surprisisly Devoid of Steak and Lobster, Night Kanss Harry to Show Him the Lines on the Deck in Preparation for the Boat the Day. I like night so far: he seams genuine and hardworking, and it is endearing to Hear Him Say – and Mean it – that he has no ego after all. Later, Harry Will Reap the Rewards of His Reliability and Knowledge: Night Makes Him Lead Dechand, A Persion and Been Hoping to Land the First Episode of the Season.

The day doesn’t start out wholesome for the WHOE CREW. Unable to do the normal thing and write off the previous day as just a shitty one, tzarina holds on and brings her bad attitude into breakfast service. When she gits alesia confusing direct, Alesia, Our MVP, the Queen of Direct But ThoughtFul Confrontation, Can’t Stop Herself from Expressing Why She Know What’s Happening to Do Her Job Well. In a subtle and genius reverse Uno Play, Tzarina, Who Had Started Out the Conversation by Teling Alesia and Just Needs to “YES, Chef” and Shut Up, is by the End of Iting She’ll Make a Better Efffort to Be Communicative.

The New Deck Team Des an Excellent Job Docking the Boat, and at the Tip Meeting, Each Crew Member Banks $ 1,153 From A Measly $ 15,000 Total Tip, Which the Captain is not Reflective of their Work Through the Weekend. Jason Gently Awards the Disco Helmet to Nick, Who Takes It Gamely. Nor Things Begin to Wind Down, The Crew Catches Each Other Up On What’s Been Going On: Adair Talls Marina About Nick with The Guests (I Sort of LOVE THEIR UNDEXPECTED FRIENDSHIP; they’re’re funny together), Tzarina’s Weird Mood Was Affecting Her.

Lara Commits to Her Meddling and Convenue a Reunion of Herself, BRA, and Alesia in Cro Cabin, where Alesia Airs the Same Frustrations She Had Already Expressed to Tzarina in the Galley. Just as she’s finished talking, tzarina comes in and the girls immediately Go quiet. It ‘s Obivious that they’d been talking about it, which is definitely swimming What tzarina Needs in order to get out of her function right now: it only proves her notion that is the odd one out. It would be better for her to hang with marina and adair, who live in a world totally indifferent to the rest of the Boat’s Social Dynamics.

Alesia and Tzarina talk over a smoke late that evening. It ‘s nice and productive: Tzarina Apologizes and Sayys she didn’t mean to take out her frustrations with the sous-chef. We can tell that the apology was genuinely received because alesia, who is easily becoming my favorite in this crew, plays it down to bewhen they are speak in the bathroom. LAA ASKS ALESI How their talc Went, and if she was interested in creating chaos, she shauld have to do so tzarina haad ben frustrated with her; instead, she chalks it up to the stress of “the industry,” that “cheffing” really taken out of you.

Like I Said, Lara is no Saint, so she says she has it to be people say and takes it ups herself to “Fix” the which situation. But no One Likes a Know-It-All, Least of All Tzarina, who brings an attitude to match lara to their conversation. Lara tells tzarina that cyometimes the way she and talks makes her feed stupid. Tzarina tells her feels the same way and mentions plathegate, we are larva decidated to butt in the presentation of this tan though’s not her department. Lara doesn’t rement, and it looks as though theyir argument Will Carry on Into Next Week.

In mess stressful gossip news, Harry KSS Both of the New Boys who they are attracted to on the boat. Night Likes Alesia, with Whom He Had a Nice Bonding Moment in the Hot Tub Earlier, THOUGH AT THIS POINT, ALESI IS STILL TEXTING Johnny Things like you and “It ‘swim with you.” Nick Likes Marina, which and Makes plenty Clear we dance with her and thatn kisses her in a prey smooth move for a guy who supposed to have no game. Give up this character, nick! No One Believes it!
