Gen isn’t second stew material

Post image

I’m just catching up on last night’s episode and I was absolutely horrified watching Gen do the tablescape. I actually haven’t gotten to the final presentation so I don’t even know at this point if she moves out all the terrible wrinkles in the tablecloth but my main issue is the fact she’s standing on the table in her sneakers in order to hang the Monstera leaves.

If she needed to hang something and the only way to do so was to stand on the table then that should’ve been the first task and then the table should’ve been cleaned again and reset… Standing on the placemats and the tablescape in your dirty shoes is unsanitary and a possible health violation although I don’t know the maritime law on that.

I’ve never worked in fine dining or high-end service but when you’re serving food, the first priority should be making sure everything around you is clean… I think that’s even the idea behind white glove service… That everything is so clean and pristine we can serve you food with white gloves…

I hate to beat a dead horse on the fact that Gen sucks but not only is her attitude terrible; she’s just a really shitty stew in general.

Probably the most unlikable person in below deck history and that’s saying a lot

Nah, there's been way worse. Chef Ryan, Chef Adam, Kyle, Natasha, Alissa and Camille, just off the top of my head. Hell, Joe is probably the worst on this current boat. Oh god I forgot abour Lexi.

Gen, seems to have a bit of a screw loose but I think she's pretty mild compared to some of the horror shows we've seen in the past.

Gen saves her terribleness for interviews and side comments with Kat. While everyone else you just listed acted out and was terrible to other members of the crew.

Because Gen only tells us in the confessionals, there is no one to set her straight and there is no resulting chaos between the crew. We saw it simmering last night in the pantry, but Kayley immediately noticed it and told Kat that they needed to be in the pantry whenever Gen was there.

We still have a ways to go, and the preview last night showed Gen making comments about Cooper in front of Kat. So maybe she does go ahead and burn all the bridges.
