the place where Jason famously crashed a boat in 2019.
Fingers crossed it doesnt happen again!
Chief Stew Aesha is also back, and I couldnt be happier.
This season, Aeshas determined not to let her stews walk all over her.
Im gonna be a tough bitch … Well, a tougherbitch, she says.
Im gonna be direct because its not quite in me to be a bitch.
How could you not love her?
She also has experience as a chief stew.
Heres hoping this doesnt lead to her and Aesha clashing.
Our bosun is Luke, a self-described massive flirt and sleep-naked key in guy.
I fear he may be the fuckboy of the season.
I also predict he and Laura will eventually hook up since theyve already started flirting.
Im sure thatll work out great!
I like Adam and Harry so far, but Luke has weird vibes.
In the galley is Chef Tzarina, whos 30, flirty, [and] thriving.
Her luggage has been lost, leaving her without clothes and, more importantly, knives.
To add to the stress, she soon discovers that the galley isnt very spacious.
Regardless, it cant get worse than last seasons villainous Chef Ryan.
The interior, though remodeled, has dated furnishings and, as I mentioned before, a small kitchen.
But hey, at least the crew cabins are large compared to their usual cramped spaces.
You win some, you lose some!
Jason then gives everyone a rundown of his rules and expectations, like no drinking on charter.
I have a feeling hes going to be an annoying boss as the season progresses.
Aesha tells us shes been graced with what feels like a strong second.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves, girlie.
Carmen seems nice, but the same cant be said about her pal Kristyl.
Lo and behold, shes right!
She seems like a handful.
At the same time, Aesha tells Laura to take a quick five-minute break to change uniforms.
She wont make it far if this becomes a pattern.
Tzarina makes a good first impression at lunch with an assortment of salads and things like mahi-mahi.
Why do charter guests always invite people they seem to hate being around?
Im sure the fact that her luggage is still lost isnt helping her get in a positive mind-set.
Captain Jason notices, so he becomes her temporary sous chef.
And her effort really shines.
Despite having to adapt to a small workspace, Tzarina wows the guests with an incredible seafood feast.
It made my mouth water, and I dont even eat seafood.
Yet she still feels terrible since she needed help.
Girl, its only day one, stop being so hard on yourself!
It seems like Lukes the punch in of bosun who thinks he knows better than his boss.
This ultimately backfires, so the joke is on him.
And just as Aesha thinks hes finally gone, Brandon returns demanding a cocktail.
Laura tells her to go to bed because shell handle it.
But to make things worse, Kristyl finally emerges from her room.
Not a good look!
Im looking forward to seeing Luke hopefully get reprimanded for this.
Kristyl then says the episodes funniest line, On my vacation, Im the captain of this ship.
Youll learn it tomorrow.
By the looks of it, this seasons going to be a banger.
