- He and his teammates
are attached at the hip,
and if you piss her off,
she'll fold you a rocketship.
It's "Watch What Happens Live"
with Kate Chastain
and Lloyd Spencer now.
[cheers and applause]
* Andy Cohen's got
the 4-1-1 *
* King king
of midnight fun *
* Midnight emcee AC *
- All right,
hey, everybody,
welcome to
"Watch What Happens Live."
I'm your host Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse
with one guest
who's always ready
to toss out
an unfiltered take
and another who tossed
his cookies tonight.
She's no longer
a chief stew,
but she's still
calling the shots
from the helm of her sofa.
From "Below Deck Galley Talk"
please welcome Kate Chastain.
Hey, Kate!
[cheers and applause]
- Hey!
- There she is.
I'm so excited
to see you always.
And he's a Nic Cage lookalike
who is fittingly beloved
on Lady Michelle
like a "National Treasure,"
get it?
From "Below Deck Med"
please welcome
deckhand Lloyd Spencer.
Hey, Lloyd.
[cheers and applause]
- Hey, Andy,
how's it going?
- And by the way,
ladies and gentlemen,
if you think you see
the Acropolis
behind Mr. Spencer,
you do!
He joins us from Athens, Greece.
That is very exciting.
We've never had the Acropolis
on this broadcast.
So welcome, Acropolis!
Drinking game alert.
My guests won't know it,
but anytime you hear
anyone say this word,
if you're 21 or over,
sip your drink,
or if weed is legal
where you are,
in honor of Lloyd's
signature 'stache,
smoke your stash!
Uh, by the way, new episodes
of "Below Deck Med"
drop on Peacock
a week early,
so if you can't wait
to watch the next one,
you don't have to.
I want to get into
tonight's episode.
Um, Lloyd, it was
quite upsetting
seeing you, uh, have
that anxiety attack
at the end of the show.
Talk to me about
where you were at,
and has that
ever happened before?
- No, it was something that had
built through the season.
I was dealing with
a lot of stuff that had come up
that I didn't necessarily
want to talk about,
let alone be aired on TV.
And it just so happened
that morning with, you know,
a few other things,
it all just built up
to be a little bit
too much for me.
- Right. Oh, my gosh.
Um, I can only imagine.
And we will, uh-- there's more
to talk about in that regard,
which we will get into
at the reunion.
Kate, we got a lot
of questions for you
wanting to know
how you would have handled
that first hot tub night
with Lexi
and the rest
of the crew.
- I mean, in general
nothing really great happens
on a crew night out
in the jacuzzi,
so I probably would have
missed it and been sleeping.
But, um, there's nothing
you can do
to fix a problem like Lexi,
I don't think.
- Um, UncommonJoe said,
"Lloyd, since Lexi
"was physically and verbally
abusive to you
"that night in the hot tub,
why didn't you
"bring up her behavior
with Captain Sandy?"
- Um, it wasn't my place.
You know, there is
the hierarchy of...
my boss being Malia,
Kate-- Katie, sorry.
Um, so I trusted in them
to go and give the right view
to the captain
and then let that play out.
It wasn't my place
to start telling--
telling people
what they should do.
- Were you disappointed then
that nothing really happened?
- I mean, what happened
to me was, you know, uh,
a needle in the...
[audio breaks up]
sort of things that she did
to everyone on the crew.
So it was-it was just waiting
for it to play out
and for her
to finally get fired.
- Got it.
Uh, Kate, #1 question for you,
uh, said "Who would be
on your yacht
"if you could create
your dream crew?"
And so we are gonna get
into that later in the show.
We've got a special
Watch What Happens Five
from Kate,
naming her dream crew.
Wendy V. for both of you
wants to know,
"What did you think
of the bombshell
"that Courtney said tonight
"that she has no sexual
chemistry with Mzi
"despite making out with him
several times."
What did you think, Kate?
- I mean,
I think we all saw it.
Like, she would--
when they'd go out,
she'd have a fun make-out,
but he really caught
real feelings.
And I think, Lloyd, you were
such a good friend to Mzi,
asking for him, like,
"hey, do you like him?"
Right before
the flowers arrived.
That was very good of you.
- Aw, Lloyd.
[laughs]
- Thank you so much.
I actually got
a little bit of sh-- online
for doing that,
but...
[audio breaks up]
...by giving her flowers
since she wasn't
that interested.
- Um, by the way, um,
what kind of response
did you get--
I mean, tonight
we're seeing you
really going through it
in your head,
but the interesting thing is
when the show aired,
what kind of response
did you get from the audience
and from other people
who, uh, heard you come out
as bisexual?
- Um, absolutely.
Uh, I would say
99.999% positive.
Uh, there was
a couple of idiots,
but other than that everyone
has been absolutely fantastic.
- And how did that make you--
- And the love from--
- That had to make you
feel great,
given how anxious you were
about other people finding out.
- Oh... [audio breaks up]
of course, yeah, yeah,
you can see exactly
how anxious I was.
But I couldn't be any happier
with how it's turned out.
- All right, well,
Chief Stew Katie
is getting high marks
from Captain Sandy,
but I'm curious to know
if her decisions
are up to snuff
according to the captain
of snark and sarcasm,
Kate Chastain.
So it's time for
How Do You Stew?
Kate, I'm gonna
read off situations
that Katie has faced
this season.
Tell us what
you would have done.
You have dealt with
many troubled stews.
How would you have handled
someone as complicated
as Lexi, Kate?
- I would have tried to get her
fired much, much sooner.
I mean, she was problematic.
- Should Katie be less concerned
about being liked
when it comes to making tough
decisions in her department?
- I mean, I've never cared
if I was liked, obviously.
So yeah, I think so.
- Unfortunately, Katie was not
attracted to anyone on board.
What's a chief stew to do
when there's no eye candy
all charter long?
- Praise a hot Jesus sailor.
Go find you one on the docks.
- Well, what did you make
of Katie deciding
to let Delaney go
simply because her stew training
was not what she assumed?
Would you have kept her on
for the extra set of hands?
- Yes, as long as
they have hands,
they're probably helpful enough
to fold towels.
I would've kept her.
- How would you have handled
the crew pushing back
on swapping cabins
to appease
the new crew member starting?
- I would've said
that we should have
boys and girls
in the same room--
boys and girls-- male--
men and women,
uh, because we're all "they,"
you know?
And so nobody
would've had to move.
- Um, how would you have handled
the scheduling of the stews?
Would you have gone
Katie's route
and put everyone
including yourself
on a rotating schedule,
or delegate certain stews
to tasks all season long?
- No, I always used
a rotating schedule,
and I think that's
how most boats operate.
- All right,
thank you very much.
[cheering and applause]
Um, Lloyd and his fellow
dickhands get on so swimmingly
that forcing him to
pick one best friend
would only
throw a wrench.
Well, heads up, Lloyd,
it's time to pick a buoy!
Uh, I have questions,
give me your answers
between Mzi and David.
Pick a buoy!
Okay, which buoy
would you sooner trust
with a secret?
- Uh, David.
- Uh, which buoy would you
ask for relationship advice?
- Um, one night stands, Mzi,
long-term, David.
[cackling]
- Wow!
Which buoy handles
his booze the worst?
- It's gotta be Mzi.
Oh, the man falls over.
- Which buoy is
the harder worker on deck?
- Uh, I can't pick
between the two of them,
'cause, uh, they both
do a great job.
- Who was Malia's favorite?
- Uh, Mzi. Mzi.
- Uh, which buoy
do you think
might actually have
a chance with Katie?
- Uh, David.
- All right, thank you
very much, Lloyd.
[cheering and applause]
Kate, now that you're
no longer yelling at chefs
in the galley, it's--
it's nice that you found
a healthier outlet
for your frustration:
yelling at the Housewives
on TV, so I wanna get
your takes on
the latest Bravo drama.
General thoughts on
all things Erika Jayne?
- Uh, she is
the one reason
I watch "Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills,"
because I really
love true crime,
so she's made this
so enjoyable for me.
- Um, whose side are you on
in Salt Lake, Jen or Meredith?
- Um, well, Meredith
has never called me
or my grandmother about
our car warranty,
so I'm gonna go
with Meredith.
- Uh, reaction to Jenny
essentially calling her husband
a butterface?
- You gotta treat 'em mean
to keep 'em keen.
[laughing]
- No surprise there.
How did you feel about
Sutton being the only one
really questioning
Erika's stories?
- You know, honesty,
um, comes at a cost,
and I think Sutton's
the only one that can
truly afford it.
- Interesting.
Why do you think it is
that Heather can't give up
on her friendship
with Jen Shah?
- I'm not sure. It might
be the same reason that
she stayed in the Mormon
religion so long, I don't know.
- Thoughts on Garcelle
and Dorit's tension this season?
- It's so unfortunate, because
I love both of them very much.
- Um, who do you think is
more judgemental of the other,
Whitney or Lisa?
- Lisa scares me,
but I also respect her.
- Uh, do you think Rinna has
been kissing Erika's butt
this season?
I think she definitely has,
and if she were smart,
she'd make this, like,
an ad campaign, like,
"pretty mess asskisser"
or something, I don't know.
[laughing]
Brutal beauty.
- Thank you very much,
Kate Chastain!
[cheering and applause]
Here's who's comin' up.
We have a lot more
with these two.
Here's who's on the show
this week. Be right back.

* Below Deck Med
Below Deck Med *
[cheering and applause]
- All right, welcome back to
"Watch What Happens Live."
[coughing]
Excuse me!
I'm your host,
Andy Cohen,
with one yachtie
who's a sensitive soul,
and another who thinks pretty
much everyone's an A-hole.
From "Below Deck: Galley Talk,"
please welcome Kate Chastain.
From "Below Deck Mediterranean"
it's Lloyd Spencer.
[cheering and applause]
Drinking game reminder!
Anytime you hear this word,
in honor of Mzi
joining Luann's club
and falling into
a shrub tonight,
drink until you're
feeling bush league.
Let's take questions
from our virtual fans.
Lindsay from Austin
has a question for Kate.
Yes, Lindsay?
- Hi, Andy. My sister Whitney
and I love you so much.
- Thanks!
- My question is for Kate.
Um, given that you live
so close to Chef Ben,
have you taken advantage
of being friends with benefits
and rekindled
anything with him?
- I mean, there are benefits.
He has a boat,
and we are on the water,
and also he can cook.
Um, but he also has
a very lovely girlfriend
that I'm good friends with.
Actually, they both called me
this morning, uh,
right before this, so...
- Oh, that's cute.
Um, and here is Libby
from Chicago
with a question for Lloyd.
- Hi, Andy. I just wanted
to say hi to you from
my family, Liz and Michelle.
- Thank you.
- And Lloyd,
my question is for you.
- Okay.
- Do you agree with Julia
that the deck team is
bearing the brunt
of only having two stews?
And do you think Katie
made the right decision,
uh, with not bringing
Delaney back?
- Yeah, so, the--
the decision to
not bring Delaney back,
I do think it was the right one.
Um, the way that we work
together as a team
without her there
was so smooth,
and went really,
really well.
Yeah, we had to pick up
a little bit extra,
but we didn't mind
doing those things,
you know, we were already
behind the scenes,
which you didn't see,
you know, doing lots and--
[indistinct]...
always, uh--
It was no bother for us.
- All right, uh, Kate,
Katie from Northern Virginia
wants to know how did you--
how did you feel about
Captain Sandy's reaction
to Malia not reporting
Dave's injury?
- Oh my gosh,
that was so exciting.
I've never seen Sandy do
anything but offer people hugs.
I was like, kind of--
I like Malia,
but I was also like,
"Get it, Sandy!"
I was impressed.
- Um, how do you think
you and Sandy would get along
if you were on
"Below Deck Med," by the way?
- I've met Sandy
quite a few times.
I really like her.
I think we'd work together
just fine, I mean, I--
I think that she's great.
- All right, well,
thank you. Uh--
when the Lady Michelle yachties
get liquored up,
they never hold back,
but this next game
will have my guests
tossing it back
in order to do
exactly that.
It is time for
"Truth Or Drink!"
The monitor behind me
will reveal shady questions.
Give us an answer
or sip your drink.
All right, let's see
the first question.
Spin it around.
Okay, Kate, what is
Captain Lee's fir--
worst quality
as a leader?
- Um, he's stern
and stoic,
so you just assume
he's always angry.
- Okay, spin it
around, guys.
Lloyd, can you say
three positive things
about your former
crewmate, Lexi?
Wow.
He is drinking instead.
Kate Chastain
is nodding her head.
And drinking as well.
No, not.
Uh, okay,
spin it around, guys.
Uh, Kate Chastain,
rank these chief stews
from best to worst:
Katie, Hannah,
Francesca, Daisy.
- Daisy, Katie,
Hannah, Francesca.
- Daisy-- I need
to process this.
Daisy--
- Below Deck Sailing Daisy.
- Katie, Francesca-- no.
- Hannah.
And then Francesca. Got it.
Okay, very good, wow.
Okay, spin it around.
Kate, can you say
three positive things
about your former
bosun, Ashton?
- I mean, I do like
drinking, but sure, um,
I mean, he loves working out,
he's committed to it, clearly,
um, he has
a lovely accent,
and... no, I'm gonna drink,
that's only two.
- Oh, wow, okay.
Didn't know if you were
gonna get there, either.
Okay.
- I was really struggling.
- Yes, uh,
let's spin it around
and see if we can
get one for Lloyd.
Okay, Lloyd, be honest.
Would you ever want Kate
as your chief stew?
Well, I mean,
what's he gonna say?
- Yeah, I-I--
I'm sure-sure
we can all, uh,
I'm sure, she'd terrify
the sh-- outta me.
- Oh, rea-- well,
why do you think
she would terrify you?
[laughs]
- I love that.
- Oh, you--
Kate enjoys that.
Yes.
And Lloyd is just
in a puddle of giggles,
and now he's having
a drink increase.
See that-- oh, right in front
of the Acropolis.
[laughing]
Okay, spin it
around again, guys.
[chuckling]
Okay, Kate,
who do you consider
to be the most
overrated Housewife
of all time?
Oh, now this
is exciting.
- Vicki Gunvalson.
- Really!
- I just-- She's like--
really, like, wooh!
She's, like, very
over the top all the time.
It's like, she's at a 10,
I need it at an eight.
- Okay, all right,
spin it around, guys.
Lloyd, did Sandy pass the buck
by having Katie choose
whether or not to keep Delaney
on charter?
- Uh, no, I think it was
the right decision
to give it to Katie,
'cause she was the one dealing
with her day-to-day.
I mean, Sandy-Sandy
[indistinct],
but she-she's not there
on the ground,
100% of the time.
- Okay, spin it around.
Kate, as a Bravo-holic,
which show do you consider
to be the most boring
on Bravo?
Oh, god.
Oh my god, I am dying
to know your answer,
although I'm terrified
you're going to say
"Watch What Happens Live."
- Never.
- Huh.
I-I'm so interested
to know what it is.
Okay, uh, all right,
thank you both
for playing
Truth or Drink.
Stick around,
after the break,
case-- Kate's gonna make a case
for some Below Deck comebacks.
Don't go anywhere.
* watch what happens live
watch what happens live *
- All right, welcome back to
"Watch What Happens Live."
I'm Andy, here with Kate
and Lloyd.
[cheers and applause]
- Lloyd, uh,
Ernest Y. wants to know
if you think Malia
was being harsh
saying you and Mzi were
making rookie mistakes?
- No, we were both
[indistinct] this season.
Uh, and when we're together,
sometimes we do like
to mess around, so yeah,
fair play,
we were caught
in the act.
- And Lloyd,
Carl W. wants to know
if you think Mat
should've been fired
for giving Captain Sandy
a drunken ultimatum
behind her back?
- Aw, dude, the thing i--
Mat in person,
I absolutely love him.
So, uh, I'm gonna say no.
- Um, Kate, Amanda M.
wants to know
what's going on
in your dating life?
Are you seeing
anyone special?
- I am seeing s-- people,
but no one special.
- All right.
Um, and Lloyd, Tracy M.--
- Original.
- Trac-Tracy M. wants to know
if you've been dating anyone
since getting
off the boat, Lloyd?
- Uh, I can say yes I have,
and they're...
- Yes you have, and-and what?
It froze up,
but we wanna know.
- And they are someone
very special.
- Aw, that's nice.
- Awww.
- Wow.
I kind of wanna
ask each of you
the gender that
you're dating,
but I think
it's not appropriate,
so I won't.
Um, okay, Kate, uh,
Shanisse Y. wants to know
what advice
you have for Lloyd
about being in
the yachting industry?
- Uh, work hard,
save your money.
- Wow, there you go,
all right.
Well, Kate, when it comes
to yachtie departures,
I understand that
there are quite a few
that you were
not onboard with,
so it's time for...
Okay, I want some picks
for you-- um, from you,
for yachties across
the Below Deck Universe,
who you think
deserve a comeback.
Who's your first person
that you think
deserves a comeback?
- Pick number one
is Kat Held.
Um, she's stew.
She is a mix of Sonja Morgan
and Kim Richards.
She reminds me of them,
she's hilarious,
gorgeous, fun.
- And-- But the other
interesting thing about her
is, from what I recall,
she's actually also
a very good stew, right?
- Oh, of course.
That does make it nice
as well, you know?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Plus.
- All right, wha--
who's your second pick?
- My second pick
is Hannah Ferrier.
Um, I am so--
I'm so happy for her
with her new
gorgeous daughter,
but I think last time
she was on your show,
"Watch What Happens Live,"
she-she said that
she would like to work
for Captain Lee,
which would be amazing,
but she does
have that daughter,
but if she can make that work,
that'd be cool.
- Yes, all right,
who's your last-
who's your last, uh, crewmember
you wanna bring back?
- So the third one
is Jean-Luc,
because somebody's
gotta watch Hannah's baby
on the boat, so I feel like
he'd be really good at that.
- So shady.
All right, thank you
very much.
That was...
I need to dial back
into that Jean-Luc drama,
and see what's
going on there.
Yeah.
Okay, I wanna thank Kate
and Lloyd for being here.
The word of the night
was "stew."
Said it thirteen times.
If you've been playing
our drinking game, no driving.
Tomorrow night,
it's Katie Maloney-Schwartz
and LaLa Kent.
Live after "Vanderpump Rules,"
watch our aftershow
now on Twitter live.
Thanks, guys.
