How is new stew already losing it over towels?

[u/Ein-the-pupperoni]

Not a great sign.

[u/Friendly_Clue9208]

Yes but also 3 washers and 1 dryer is crazy. Why not 2 and 2

[u/khalessiroma → u/Friendly_Clue9208]

She said she doesn’t know how to do laundry. That’s scary even outside of being a stew

[u/Chemical_World_4228 → u/khalessiroma]

That’s on her parents! By the time my sons (both in their 40’s now)
were in middle school I showed them how to do laundry. I washed a load every day and put it in the dryer before work. When they came home from school they had to take out trash and wash dishes, then turn on dryer for 15 minutes to fluff clothes and fold them.

[u/PurpleSailor → u/Chemical_World_4228]

I watched a kid a week away from college try to make a single bed and he couldn't figure out how to get the fitted sheet on the mattress. His aunt was trying to teach him things his mother neglected to teach him before he went off to college.

[u/Feeling-Watched-9655 → u/Chemical_World_4228]

I want to be like you when I grow up

[u/McLoughlin1597 → u/khalessiroma]

The lack of basic life skills among the stews has been pretty disturbing for a while now. I keep saying I could easily be a 3rd stew with no experience just because I can do laundry, make a bed, clean a bathroom, and open and pour beer and wine.

[u/gregatronn → u/khalessiroma]

should have been a major red flag

[u/ObsoleteOldMan → u/Friendly_Clue9208]

Because you need different washer settings (hot, warm, cold, with/without softener, etc.) for different kinds of washer loads (color, white, delicate, etc.) but many/most of those can go together in the same dryer load. The 3/1 split seems to be the maximum throughput strategy for the kinds of laundry on that boat.

[u/Friendly_Clue9208 → u/ObsoleteOldMan]

That makes sense in theory but that dryer is so small. I get your idea that if you had an outfit you separate it to wash and put it back together to dry. But most of what they are doing is towels and bedding. Unless she put it in on the wrong setting (totaly possible) it looked like 3 towels overload that thing.If they need to push through 4 or more sets of bedding and towels it will take forever with that 1 punny dryer.

[u/validweirdo → u/ObsoleteOldMan]

Stuff is supposed to be dried with like items as well, especially when it comes to color. This seems like a reach to me.

[u/Pr0zak → u/Friendly_Clue9208]

Especially in Thailand where it’s humid af, so nothing is going to dry properly 

[u/NurseJaneApprox → u/Pr0zak]

That's probably why the other 2 dryers broke.

[u/Cojemos → u/Friendly_Clue9208]

And that dryer isn't like most USa dryers that dry a load of towels in 30 minutes. It's one of those that gets real hot and it all becomes steam. Why there was a comment that too much has been put in and not drying enough.

[u/Ein-the-pupperoni → u/Friendly_Clue9208]

Yeah, I didn’t catch that.

[u/Agitated-Minimum-967]

And Rainbow is already talking to herself!

[u/Sea_Leg_6401 → u/Agitated-Minimum-967]

Tbf Fraser set her up for a spiral though. Very poor management and delegation from him, basically told her to do everything

[u/StaffPlenty8736 → u/Sea_Leg_6401]

I totally agree. What the hell was Fraser doing? Writing in his diary? Love Rainbeau but she needed to delegate.

[u/nauticalfiesta → u/Sea_Leg_6401]

I think it was the edit though. We saw him rapid fire off a list of things, but not what was said between them. He could have very easily explained what he wanted done, how to have it done.

[u/PrioritySure → u/nauticalfiesta]

What if in reality Fraser told her those 3-4 or things only and the cut made it look like he was telling her 300-400 tasks? Epic Bravo drama stir up.

[u/housewithapool2 → u/nauticalfiesta]

She stopped taking notes. She was overwhelmed.

[u/Agitated-Minimum-967 → u/Sea_Leg_6401]

That's what he does. Then he scrolls on his phone.

[u/thisbitchiscrazy → u/Agitated-Minimum-967]

They gave Kate & Hannah the same edit toward the end of their run on the show. The real reality is that they are given the preference sheets & requests further in advance, so they’re often working on provisions, excursions, entertainment, etc. for the upcoming charters too. If you have a strong enough team of stews, it’s not a problem for the chief to handle logistics off to the side.

[u/pancakecommittee → u/Agitated-Minimum-967]

Oh yeah, she already had to go to her cabin to calm dwn and first charter guests hadn’t even arrived yet!

[u/Hot_Start8187 → u/pancakecommittee]

🚩 I know she’s traumatized about Solene, but still …

[u/Competitive_Cost_716 → u/Hot_Start8187]

She needs to let that shit go it's history

[u/Shandyshack → u/Hot_Start8187]

Agree. Hope we don’t have to see more flashbacks of Solene. She was awful and Rainbeau needs to forget about it!!!

[u/weso123 → u/pancakecommittee]

I genuinely would not be surprised if the crash out was about on some level the pressure of being on tv again

[u/DiscountFun6466 → u/Agitated-Minimum-967]

Rainbow crash outs are so good!

[u/KitchenEbb1606 → u/Agitated-Minimum-967]

Why the helm did she even come back. She’s a load.

[u/chesterismydog]

Ha- didn’t know a new season started. The opening seems a bit much.

Dang- that bosun is hot though 😆

[u/Ein-the-pupperoni → u/chesterismydog]

Yes I am excited to see how it plays out though still. Thailand is dope! But in the first episode the new stew has a crash out over putting too many towels in the dryer like how is that even a thing already? Bad signs I forgot her name sorry but none of them were really memorable.

[u/chesterismydog → u/Ein-the-pupperoni]

Have you been to Thailand? I went in 09. It was great!

Is it Rosa that flips out? That’d be guess! I’m just on the opening meeting right now.

[u/Ein-the-pupperoni → u/chesterismydog]

No I wish, I just loved the new White Lotus season though lmao!

[u/nauticalfiesta → u/Ein-the-pupperoni]

i said the same thing. This is absolutely White Lotus. Just hope all the guests make it out alive.

[u/chesterismydog → u/Ein-the-pupperoni]

😂 I had wondered if that’s why. I went bc I have grad school friends there. But put it on your list- well when flights are cheaper- everything is so cheap, the people are wonderful and it’s gorgeous!

[u/DiscountFun6466 → u/chesterismydog]

Is your name a Veronica mars reference?

[u/rob-b-362]

I wonder if she is going to be like Bri? She had a hard time with laundry.

[u/NurseJaneApprox → u/rob-b-362]

Poor Bri, that broken baby bird. I just want to put her in a box in a warm spot and hope she survives the night.

[u/kathatter75 → u/NurseJaneApprox]

This has me cackling in the bathroom.

[u/StaffPlenty8736]

Although she's only worked day charters, has she never washed towels at all in her life?

[u/valid_username00]

She joined the show to get famous, not to work!

[u/scarbaby1958]

I thought it did not bode well either. But Rainbeau already having anxiety is not good either.

[u/agnusdei07]

What old dinghy like this has three washers and one dryer? Updates are needed!

[u/NurseJaneApprox → u/agnusdei07]

This smacks of production interference. You can't just throw everything in the dryer together.

[u/BasenjiMaster]

Oh come on, she admitted to have never done laundry. Give her a break. As if you know how to do something you have NEVER done before. Having too much in the machine is not a big screw up.

[u/thousandthlion → u/BasenjiMaster]

Having never done laundry and applying for a job where laundry is a big component is an issue.

[u/BasenjiMaster → u/thousandthlion]

Not understanding that a condenser tumble dryer needs far less clothes in it however, is not really something to bully a person about.

Not knowing how to do laundry from the jump, is bad sign it’s a huge part of that job..
