- She got with Jake
when he got into the liquor,
and Heather wants him
to make a martini quicker.
It's "Watch What Happens Live"
with Rayna and Fraser now.
[cheers and applause]
* Andy Cohen's
got the 4-1-1 *
* King king
of midnight fun *
* Midnight emcee AC *
* Late night
on Bravo TV *
- Hey, everybody, welcome to
"Watch What Happens Live."
I'm your host Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse
following an episode
of "Below Deck" that
finally answered this question
once and for all:
is Captain Lee
from Michigan?
And then it answered it
twice and for all
and three times
and for all. He is.
Anyway, joining me
from "Below Deck,"
it's deckhand Rayna Lindsey.
Hi, Rayna!
- Hi!
[cheers and applause]
- And second stew
Fraser Olender.
Hi, Fraser.
[cheers and applause]
- Hello, hello.
- Great to see you both.
Fraser, thanks for staying up
late with us tonight in London.
And, Rayna, thanks for staying
up late with us tonight
in Minneapolis.
Drinking game alert:
my guests won't know it,
but anytime you hear
anyone say this word,
if you're 21 or over
drink until you Michi-can't
any longer.
Okay, I wanna get into questions
about tonight's "Below Deck."
I have to start with
the drunk charter guests.
I mean, do you think that
they had any idea
that they were providing you all
so much entertainment
behind the scenes?
- Absolutely not.
- Most definitely not.
- No idea what was going on.
No, no idea.
- And--
- They were in their own world.
- Knowing them as you do,
what do you think their reaction
to the episode was tonight?
- Mortifying,
totally mortifying.
- Yeah.
- I can't-- honestly,
I feel so bad for them,
honestly.
[laughter]
- Rayna, Danielle G.
wants to say--
she said, "don't you think
Jake becoming lead deckhand
"complicates
you hooking up with him
now that he's
your boss?"
- I don't think so.
I think it kinda works
in my favor, but I mean,
it could be bad, too,
of course.
- I like it! I like it, okay,
that could be a good spin on it.
That's positive.
Fraser, Connie J. wants
to know your response
to Heather saying the stews
needed to work harder tonight?
- Well, I honestly don't know
if I could work any harder
at this point.
I love what I'm doing,
but I'm just
to the bone exhausted.
At this stage.
- By the way, Fraser, you--
we've all been remarking
on your incredible ability
to, uh, mumble insults
under your breath.
[laughter]
It's kind of-- Rayna,
are you not loving this?
- I'm obsessed with it,
because we thought
I was the problem with that.
But, Fraser, we both have
the same problem,
so it's perfect.
- I love it.
- Fraser, you know,
having traveled
on a lot of boats
in my life,
there are not
very many gay stews,
which I think people
would be surprised about.
Do you know a lot of others?
- I don't, no. I definitely
think it's a niche--
there's a niche place for us
in the industry.
And the industry
is old-fashioned,
and it's sort of
back in its old ways.
So it's great for me to,
you know, be featuring
as a male stew
and, you know, gay as well.
- It's great. And do you
think that it's--
have you encountered
homophobia
as you've
been on the seas,
or it's been
all pretty cool?
- I've experienced, um,
issues here and there.
But to be honest,
if I let those get to me,
I wouldn't be
where I was today,
so I'm pleased
I can shrug it off.
- Very good.
[cheers and applause]
Well, when he couldn't remember
what happened the night before,
Fraser had to pick
Rayna's brain,
but this next game
will have these two
forecasting the even
bigger mess ahead
by picking
a few noggins.
It's time for Deckheads.
I have questions.
Select your answers from
the "My Seanna" crew.
Okay, there they are.
Who causes
the most drama, Rayna?
- Out of these four?
- No, there's--
everybody's up there.
- Oh, it's everyone up there.
- Yeah.
- Okay, Jake.
We'll pick Jake for sure.
- Okay. Uh, and what
do you say, Fraser?
- I 'm gonna go
with Jake, too.
But at this stage
I'm not really doing it for me.
So I'm gonna go-- I'm gonna have
to go with Heather on this.
- Heather.
Uh, who do you think
is the sloppiest drunk, Rayna?
- So far it could be
possibly me, but no, it's Jake.
[laughter]
- Um, Fraser, who's
Captain Lee's favorite?
- Captain Lee's favorite
is Eddie, obviously,
and in a close second
we've got Rachel.
- And a close second Rachel.
Uh, Rayna, who took off
their clothes the most?
- [chuckling]
- Jake.
Every night almost,
so yeah, yeah.
- Uh, Fraser,
which deckhand
butted heads
with Eddie the most?
- Um, gosh, Rayna,
dare I say you?
[laughter]
- Rayna, who talks the most crap
behind other people's backs?
- Uh-oh.
- [laughing]
I would say Fraser,
but he doesn't talk crap
behind their backs,
because he says it
to their face, too.
- Right.
[laughter]
Fraser, who do you think
has the most to answer for
at the reunion?
- Good grief.
Um, I'm going to say Heather.
- Okay, and, Rayna, who flirted
with guests the most?
- Heather or Jake.
One of the two, yeah.
- All right,
thank you very much.
We love Deckheads.
Since Fraser
and chief stew Heather
are coalescing as well
as a round of tequila
in the middle
of a whiskey tasting,
I wanna give him a chance
to serve up
a flight of his complaints
with Chief Stew On It.
I wanna dig into
your critiques, Fraser.
What was the first
red flag for you
that made you question
Heather's leadership?
- Um, I didn't really notice it
until the first trip.
And I just felt
that I was everywhere.
And I love my job.
I love every part of it.
I love the service
and the housekeeping
and everything else,
laundry included.
But I can't do everything
at once.
And I didn't see
Jess doing much.
And to be honest, I didn't
see Heather doing much.
And that was--
bothered me,
because I was
really doing my best
to keep everything afloat,
essentially.
- What is it
about her tone
that you specifically
don't care for?
- I don't-- I didn't--
it was very--
It was something I'd never
experienced before.
And it was just very cold,
and it was very blunt,
and it wasn't delivered
in a very nice way.
And as a leader now,
I'm a chief stew on my boat,
and I do things
very differently.
- Um, how do you think--
what's one way
that Heather could improve
as a leader?
- Uh, doing a bit of--
[inaudible]
- Doing a bit of what?
- Work.
- Ooh!
[laughter]
- Rayna,
did he just say that?
- He's speaking
nothing but facts, child.
- Wow!
Oh, my god. All right,
well, let's leave it there.
Thank you very much, Fraser.
[cheers and applause]
You're good.
Um, Rayna, since you're not
limiting yourself
to one lover at a time,
I thought we could offer up
a fleet of yachties
and find your next
love at first swipe.
I'm gonna present you with guys
from the "Below Deck" universe.
Tell us if you would go for it
based on looks alone.
Okay, Gary King,
what do you think?
Where are you swiping?
- No.
- No, okay,
what about Kelley Johnson?
- No.
- You might wanna
Google search him,
and, uh, you might have
a different reaction
when you do.
What about Bobby Giancola?
- I think he--
I think looks-wise, yes, yeah.
- Okay, good,
we're going on looks.
What about Jean-Luc?
He's, like, 6'8".
- No.
I like short guys.
- Oh, okay, forget it.
What about Conrad?
- Hmm...
he's giving me
too Orange County. Next.
[laughter]
- Okay, I think he's a Brit,
but also there's
someone in the audience
who said that he slid
into her DMs.
Okay, what about Paget
from "Below Deck Sailing Yacht"?
- Um, he looks super sweet,
so yes, yeah.
- Okay, how about Joao?
- Yes.
- Oh. How about Jack Stirrup?
- Yes.
- How about my man
Alex Radcliffe?
- Yes.
- Okay.
And sustainable
Shane Coopersmith?
- Yes.
- All right!
Thank you very much, Rayna.
[cheers and applause]
After hearing
the conversation
between Rachel
and Eddie tonight,
um, Fraser, do you think
his apology was genuine?
- Um, yeah.
I think so.
- Um, that's not convincing.
Fraser, did you
actually not remember
anything about
your night off,
or did you just--
- I don't--
- Or did you just want Rayna
to spill the tea about Jake?
- No, I genuinely didn't.
And I was mortified
and terrified
that morning.
So I needed clarification
from Rayna.
And Rayna and I
were very close
from the minute
we sort of met.
So to have her, you know,
consoling me a little bit
was really,
really helpful.
- Aw. I love your friendship,
the two of you.
It's really sweet to watch.
Coming up we have
more with these yachties.
Here's who's coming
on the show this week.
We'll be right back.
* Below deck
below deck *
* Change into your whites
change into your whites *
- All right, welcome back
to "Watch What Happens Live."
I am Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse
with two best mates
from "Below Deck,"
Rayna Lindsey
and Fraser Olender.
[cheers and applause]
Drinking game reminder:
anytime you hear this word,
in honor of charter guest
Justin's choice
to eat at the swimming
platform tonight,
drink until you're
on edge.
By the way,
if you miss an episode
of "Below Deck"
this season,
they're all streaming
the next day on Peacock.
Let's take questions
from our virtual fans.
Colleen and Jason
from New Jersey,
what's your question
for Rayna?
- Hi, Andy, hi, Fraser.
My question's for Rayna.
- Hi.
- Rayna, what was your reaction
to Jake's confession
that he likes to be pegged
by date four?
- [clears throat]
I was very much surprised.
But you know,
I like that he's open,
and I can appreciate that,
so I mean, kudos to him.
I love it, yeah.
[cheers and applause]
- Fraser,
what was your reaction
to that little bit
of news?
- I didn't hear that.
Um, but now that I have,
it really does not
surprise me too much.
[laughter]
- Why, just because you think
he's a freak in the sheets?
- Yeah, and then watch
the end of the season.
- Oh, I am--
that's a good tease.
Emily and Chelsea
from Maryland,
let's hear your question
for Fraser.
- Hi, Andy, hi Rayna!
Everyone looks great.
- Hi!
- All right,
our question, Fraser,
is that even though
you have been critical
of Heather's leadership,
how do you justify
your mistake
of leaving a trashbag
in a primary bedroom?
- Very good question, ladies.
My response to that is that
I'm entirely responsible.
The mistake was mine,
and I really was--
I really do know that,
and I'm taking
full responsibility for that.
I was overwhelmed with work.
And that's not an excuse,
but I am a perfectionist,
and I would have not
made that excuse
had I not been doing cabins,
service, drinks,
and everything else.
- By the way, Fraser,
Mo G. said,
"did you ever consider speaking
to Heather directly
"about your complaints
"instead of grumbling
under your breath
and acting
passive-aggressively?"
- Yes, I did speak to her.
- Okay, well, we will
look forward to that.
Uh, and thank you to our
virtual audience, by the way.
Um, Rayna, Daniel F.
wants to know
"if it's fair of Eddie
to ask Captain Lee
"to be off deck
as much as possible?
"Isn't it his job
to manage the deck crew,
though?"
- Um, usually.
I come from bigger boats,
so the first officer is rarely,
like, with the deck,
but I do
kind of agree, like,
Eddie's responsibility
is to be on the deck.
Because of the size
of the boat,
I think, um,
he's not gonna really be able
to try to escape that,
even though he wants to.
So he can try,
I guess, anyhow.
- There you go. Well,
when you're off the clock,
both of you seem like
rowdy rule breakers,
so I wanna play a game
where the only rule
is that you have to drink.
It's time to play
Never Have I Ever:
Naughty Yachtie Edition.
If you've done the following,
sip your drink.
Okay, it's late in the UK,
so we're gonna put Fraser to bed
very soundly tonight.
- Please don't.
- Never have I ever hooked up
with a charter guest.
Okay. Never have I ever
gone skinny dipping
in the yacht's hot tub.
All right.
Oh, and-- okay.
Never have I ever defied
the captain's orders.
Ooh.
Never have I ever
had a captain
crash the yacht
while docking.
[laughter]
Never have I ever
snuck a shot
to help me
get through a shift.
[laughter]
Oh!
Never have I ever
stayed out all night
and arrived back
on the boat at sun-up.
[laughter]
Never have I ever snuck
a hook-up onto the boat.
- Ooh!
- No. Oh, he's wagging
his finger.
Never have I ever hooked up
in the tiny cabin showers.
[laughter]
So hold on,
how does that work,
because you said
you've never had a boatmance,
and you've never hooked up
with a, um, guest, right?
- Yeah, I said I didn't believe
in boat romances,
and I didn't think
they went anywhere.
I didn't say I wasn't
part of a few.
- Oh!
[laughter]
- Now let me ask you this,
given our earlier
conversation
about the dearth
of gay stews
or gay yacht crew,
was it someone
who identified as gay,
out of curiosity?
- No.
- Ooh!
- Very fun, okay.
Uh, thank you very much
for playing
Never Have I Ever:
Yachtie edition.
That was fun.
Well, tonight thanks
to one sloppy charter guest
questioning ad nauseum,
we got the fact that Captain Lee
is from Michigan
drilled into our heads.
Take a look.
- Are you from Florida
originally?
- No, Michigan.
- So's she.
- Terry!
- I grew up in Ann Arbor.
- Where did you go to school?
- In Michigan.
- Really? Did you grow up
in that area?
- Saginaw.
- So where did you grow up?
- Michigan.
- It's so interesting,
because we grew up
in the same place.
- That was brutal.
I don't know how many times
she told me she was
from Michigan.
- All right, let's keep
running Michigan drills
until we're a little nauseous.
It's time to play...
Okay, this is gonna be the game
that sweeps the nation.
I'm gonna read off
celebrities.
Tell me if they're
a Michigander.
Didn't know that was a word,
Michigander.
Michigander, whatever.
Is Burt Reynolds
from Michigan?
Rayna.
- No.
- Fraser.
- I'm gonna go with no.
- Yes, he is!
[buzzer]
What about Lucy Liu?
Is she from Michigan?
Rayna.
- No.
- Fraser.
- I'm gonna go with no.
- He's gonna copy me.
- No, she's not.
Is Kenya Moore
from Michigan?
- Rayna.
- Kenya's not from Michigan.
No, no, is she? No.
- Fraser.
- Wildcard,
let's go for it. Yes.
- Yes, she is!
[bell dings]
Fraser's in the lead.
Is Sonny Bono
from Michigan?
Rayna.
- No.
- Fraser.
- Yes, he is.
[bell dings]
Hey, Fraser, do you know
who Sonny Bono is?
Out of curiosity?
- No, and I don't even know
where Michigan is.
[laughter]
- Fraser, I want you to Google
Sonny and Cher after the show.
Is Captain Sean
from Michigan?
Rayna.
- I don't know.
I'll just go with no.
- Fraser.
- He is not, no.
- No, he's not.
Massachusetts.
Is Madonna from Michigan?
Rayna.
- Sure, sure.
- Fraser.
- I don't believe so.
- Of course she's from Detroit,
you people.
What about Sandra Bullock?
Rayna.
- Good grief.
- No.
- Fraser.
- Eh, yes.
- No, Virginia.
[bell dings]
Oh, my god,
this is the tiebreaker.
Is Courtney B. Vance
from Michigan?
Rayna.
- No.
- Fraser.
- Yeah, he is, yeah.
- Yes, he is! You win
the game, Fraser!
After the break
we have more with these two.
We'll be right back.
* AC in the NYC
NYC *
[cheers and applause]
- All right, welcome back to
"Watch What Happens Live."
It's Andy here with Rayna
and Fraser.
[cheers and applause]
You two are quite delightful.
I'm enjoying this.
Did either of you
watch "Below Deck"
before you came
on the show?
No, and, Fraser, did you?
- I did, yeah.
Before going into yachting,
I had no idea
what I was doing,
so I thought I'd watch
the TV show.
And it actually taught me
quite a bit.
- All right, well, it's time
for Watch What Happens Five.
Rayna gave us
a hot tub moment to remember
even if half the crew was
probably so drunk they forgot.
But in honor
of that tonight,
I'm counting down the top five
Bravo hot tub moments.
#5 moment was steamy
in the figurative sense, too.
It's Tamra and Eddie
in the jacuzzi.
- Edward!
**
- Wow.
- Hi, baby.
- You're naked.
- I am so naked.
The amount of love
is just insane.
I don't even know
how to explain it.
At #4 the RHONY women
were a boiled peanut gallery
when they watched Ramona
run on the beach
with a blow-out.
Watch.
[overlapping chatter]
- Oh, no,
that's like-that's like...
[indistinct]
at the Taj Mahal.
[laughter]
She's going in the water
with her hair... [indistinct]
- That's so mean.
- Where's she going?
Where's she running to?
- But she just got
her hair done.
She had her hair
[indistinct]
- Okay, here comes Tamra
running back to the list at #3
with the same grace she used
at her hot tub in Mexico.
[squeals]
- Oh.
[laughter]
- I might've hurt
my foot.
I might've hurt, like,
both my foot, maybe?
- That's...
That's embarrassing.
- Nicky,
get out here!
- She really did
hurt her foot.
While our #2 moment doesn't
involve a hot tub,
Jen Shah took a dip
in an outdoor bath
that didn't exactly soothe
her tensions. Watch.
- That's what happens
when you ----ing film me
in the ----ing
bathtub!
- Listen, Jen, you're...
[indistinct]
[laughter]
- So that's what happens
when you film her in a bathtub.
And our #1 moment involves
something of a foursome.
Here's the double makeout
in the season premiere
of "Winter House."
- Look how cute he is!
- Stop.
[overlapping chatter]
- I don't really understand...
- What the ----ing sh--
is this?
- Oh, my gosh.
- Go, get outta here!
- Yeah, what the (BLEEP)?
- I remember
making out in hot tubs.
Oh, my god,
those were the days!
Oh!
[laughter]
- All right,
let this be a PSA
to always make sure your hot tub
gets a thorough cleaning.
I wanna thank Rayna and Fraser
for being here.
The word of the night
was "Jake."
We said it eight times.
If you've been playing our
drinking game, no driving.
Hey, get my book,
"Glitter Every Day."
It's out now.
"365 Quotes From Women I Love."
See you tomorrow night.
[cheers and applause]
