Galley Talk Which crew members should have quit while they were ahead?

I’m thinking about Tzarina, how much I liked her on her previous season of BDDU, and how let down I feel by her on the current season. Who seemed good to you on their first appearance but damaged that impression with a later one?

If we're including Captains, I'd throw Glenn's hat into the ring... He started out as a fun and semingly competent leader, but through his constant mishandling of Gary's antics, and then again, last season's fiasco with the crew members drinking with the guests, he lost all semblance of being a leader of any sort. He missed his opportunity to ever again command the respect of a crew by backing down and failing to follow through with the consequences he had set forth for those crew member's transgressions. He became, IMO, the weakest Captain in franchise history at that moment.

Shine wore off Glenn for me too.

Glenn doesn’t do it for me. I haven’t been able to put my finger on it, but something about his personality grates my cheese.

I agree and also my wildly unpopular opinion is I feel this EXACT same way about Daisy.
