- No one would accuse her
of being fake,
and tonight
she served a boob cake.
It's "Watch What
Happens Live"
with Rachel Hargrove
and Jessica Albert, now.
[cheering and applause]
* Andy Cohen's

* 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"
where the water toys
were unwieldy,
and the yachties
became untethered.
From "Below Deck,"
please welcome
Chef Rachel Hargrove!
Hey, Chef Rachel.
[cheering and applause]
And Third Stew,
Jessica Albert!
Hey, Jessica!
[cheering and applause]
- Hi, Andy.
- Drinking game alert!
My guests won't know it,
but anytime you hear
anyone say this word,
if you're 21 or over,
in honor of Jessica
holding down laundry duties,
drink until
you're pressed.
I wanna talk about
tonight's episode,
and I have to start with
Fraser and Jake's makeout.
Now, you know,
we watch the show
all the time,
we see you heteros
making out constantly
with no embarrassment
or shame.
Why do you think, uh,
Fraser was a little embarrassed
by what happened?
Either of you?
- Was he?
I don't know.
- He seemed--
he seemed like it.
No?
Do you think he was
putting it on?
- I think he was
more concerned--
I think he was
more concerned
how Jake was gonna
feel about everything.
- Oh, well that's--
you know, listen,
I haven't met a ton
of straight guys
who are like,
"Yeah, I'm straight,
"but I make out
with a lot of dudes."
I mean that's kind of unusual.
- It's very--
yeah.
- And it made me love Jake,
by the way. Um, Rachel,
do you think it was a bad move
on Heather's part,
moving Jess to service
for this charter,
considering she didn't
have the experience?
- Um, that's
difficult to say,
'cause especially
if you're used to
a certain part
of your department,
and then you're transferred
over to another section,
and you don't know
where everything is,
or how a style of
service is done,
it can be quite difficult.
- I can see.
- Um, Jess,
why were the charter
guests kind of fending
for themselves in making
their own drinks tonight?
You know, two seconds
in the butler's pantry,
and they find their way
behind the bar.
It happens, and I'm not
proud of it, and--
sometimes they just
want to help themselves.
- Rachel, uh, what was
your reaction to hearing
Jake and Rayna
going at it, uh,
in tonight's episode
within earshot of the guests?
- Um, you know,
for me, like,
it shouldn't be right there
happening by the guests, um,
plus they're out on deck,
and they're exposed
to the guests from in earshot.
Me, I can keep my vulgar mouth
behind the galley and act nice
when I'm presenting meals.
[laughing]
- Um, Jessica, what was
your reaction to hearing
Heather say that she's
never had to fire a, uh,
stew before?
You overhead that,
did you have any idea that
your job might be on the line?
- You know, I thought
a lot was on the line.
I wasn't really vibing
with the interior crew.
I was working very hard,
but it wasn't obviously
shown on television,
and, you know,
I'm a lot older,
and, you know...
I think this was a little bit
of a shock to my system,
getting thrown
onto a yacht
after a year of
not being on a boat,
and a year in quarantine
without any social interaction
with other people.
- Um, Rachel, did you think
that Heather was being
too hard on Jess
in tonight's episode?
- Um...
I can understand
the frustrations,
but at the same time, too,
I think that, um--
not understanding that
she'd also been off of boats
for a while, and when
she came back on,
it is a shock
to your system.
Plus she wasn't
very comfortable
with that aspect, um,
that was already
beknownst to her
before prior.
- Well, a chef's
worst nightmare
is usually having a patron
send back a dish,
but Chef Rachel has dished out
a whole buffet of behavior
on "Below Deck" that may
wake her up in a cold sweat.
I wanna see if she would
give anything to re-do--
I have a feeling I know
how this is gonna go.
We are gonna play...
Okay, Rachel, please
weigh in on the following--
do you regret uttering
your now infamous phrase,
"Eat my cooter"
in front of Captain Lee?
- I'm-- I'm sorry,
but you know what?
It pays the bills.
[laughing]
- Okay. Do you regret quitting
in a fit of frustration?
- Uh, no, actually.
Um, I felt my duty
to come back, uh,
to finish out the season,
because I owed it
to Captain Lee
and the rest of the crew,
but, um, no, um--
I-I thought that--
everything was kind of
laid out absurdly,
and I also kind of didn't like
that cameraman in my face.
- Do you regret
trying to take the stage
for some drunken karaoke
during the cruise beach day?
- Have you not
seen my Cameos?
That's all I do
is karaoke.
[chuckling]
- Wow, I--
haven't seen
your Cameos.
Uh, do you regret
letting those omelettes
get the better of you?
- Let me tell you what,
did you see the pans
that I had to
cook them in?
I had no omelette pans.
- I knew we were not
gonna get one regret.
Do you regret not speaking up
sooner when you realized
there was a communication issue
between you and Francesca?
- I felt that if I actually
discussed it with her,
um, to be-- I mean,
completely honest,
I felt that she would become
a little bit more vindictive.
Do you regret freaking out
over the salmon row,
and then dropping that
expensive tin of caviar
on the floor?
- I can't believe
I dropped it, too!
I was like, okay,
whiskey tango foxtrot.
Foxtrot, [indistinct].
- Is that a regret?
- Yes, I dropped it
on the floor!
- Oh, okay.
You regret it, okay.
- [indistinct]
- We got a regret, folks.
[cheering]
Um, do you regret
getting in the middle
of Francesca and Elizabeth's
drama by advising Elizabeth
to talk to
Captain Lee directly?
- I've been around
crew members that have been
kind of bullied
and harassed before,
and after they go to
the chain of command
and tell department heads,
then they need to
go to the Captain.
- Uh, no regrets.
Do you regret admitting
on camera that you've
crapped your pants
while stuck in traffic?
[laughter]
- No, I--
sharing's caring.
[laughing]
- Thank you very much!
We got one regret
out of her,
and that's one more than
I thought we were gonna get.
Jessica, while you've spent
most of the charter season
buried in the laundry room,
I hope you got a glimpse
of the drama from behind
the pile of napkins.
It's time to give us
your P.O.V. on each yachtie
and spill
the dirty laundry.
Okay, let's who comes--
let's see who comes out first.
There's the laundry machine.
All right, Heather!
Do you feel Heather
purposefully pulled you out
of the laundry room to try to
reinvigorate your work ethic,
or do you think she secretly
hoped you would flounder
and she could
give you the cut?
- Oh, I totally feel
like I was set up.
- Wow! Okay,
spin the laundry again.
Let's see who comes out next.
It's Wes.
On a scale of 1-10,
how attracted did you
find yourself to Wes?
- I think Wes is an extremely
attractive person,
and he has
a great personality.
He's physically attractive.
Let's give him a 10.
- Oh, wow!
[cheering]
Wow, okay. Um, out of
all the comment--
okay, let's spin it again.
Fraser!
Out of all the comments
Fraser has made about you
behind your back,
which one do you find
the most ridiculous?
There have been a few.
- There have just been
so many, honestly.
I had no idea he was
talking so much sh--.
- Okay, spin it
again, guys.
My man Jake.
Uh, who do you think enjoyed
their backseat hookup more,
Jake or Fraser?
Or me?
- Definitely Fraser.
Definitely Fraser.
- Definitely Fraser.
Really? Interesting, huh.
- I think so.
- Okay, spin it around.
Okay, Rayna.
Do you think Jake
is holding Rayna
to an unfair standard
now that he's lead deckhand?
- I think that management
is something
that is learned
over time.
And he's just
starting out,
so it's only natural that
they're gonna hit some bumps.
- Okay, spin it one more time.
And, oh, Rachel, good.
Do you think
Eddie and Chef Rachel
can truly let
bygones be bygones,
or is Rachel gonna sleep
with one eye open
when around Eddie?
- I think Rachel is always
gonna be very careful
of people who talk sh--
behind her back.
- There you go.
Is she right, Rachel?
- She's correct.
- Thank you very much, Jess.
[cheers and applause]
Well done.
Well, the only folks
keeping My Seanna
more abuzz with drama
than the crew
are the flies
circling the galley.
So it's time to see
through the eyes
of A Fly on the Wall.
I have questions
about events
that the cameras
may have missed.
Rachel and Jessica,
pick your answers
between the bobbing heads
of your crewmates,
Captain Lee, Eddie, Heather,
Fraser, Rayna, Wes, and Jake.
Okay, um, who do you think
talked the most crap
under their breath
all season long, Rachel?
- Well, I always had
some kind of rebuttal,
but it was mainly Fraser.
- Yeah, it seemed like it.
Um, hey, Jess,
who was on social media the most
during breaks?
- I think Rayna, maybe.
She was always talking
to somebody on the phone.
- Rachel, who's
shuffled the most--
who shuffled papers the most
while on the job?
- Um...
[chuckling]
I personally think
it was Eddie.
You could never
find him on deck.
- Ooh. Uh, Jess,
who snuck the most shots
during their shifts?
- Shots? Ooh.
I don't know.
Maybe Heather?
- Uh, Rachel,
who developed crushes
on the charter guests
the most?
- Oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
- Who do you think
pleasured themselves the most
after lights out?
- Oh, definitely Jakey-poo.
[laughter]
- Really? Who cry--
I knew he was my favorite.
Who cried in their bunk
the most, Jess?
You? Aww!
Um, Rachel,
who do you think complained
about their respective
work load the most?
- Um, of that delegation,
I actually think that Rayna
did complain more.
- All right,
thank you very much!
Coming up, we'll have more
with Chef Rachel and Jessica.
Here's who's
on the show this week.
We're gonna be
right back, guys.
[cheers and applause]
* Change into your whites *
- All right, welcome back
to "Watch What Happens Live."
I am Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse
diving into all
the "Below Deck" dirty laundry
with Chef Rachel
and third stew Jessica Albert.
[cheers and applause]
Drinking game reminder:
anytime you hear this word,
in honor of the deckhands
equipment debacles tonight,
drink until you can't
let it slide.
By the way,
if you miss an episode
of "Below Deck" this season,
you can always stream them
the next day on Peacock.
Let's take questions
from our virtual fans.
Naomi from El Paso has
a question for Rachel.
Hey, Naomi.
- Hi, everyone!
- Hi.
- Question,
do you think
it's hypocritical of Eddie
to be so disgusted
by your drunkeness last season
but yet said nothing
to his lead deckhand Jake
about being drunk
and naked in public?
[laughter]
- Um, yeah, and then also
at the same time, too,
his behavior inside the hot tub
as a leader with Heather.
- There you go.
Okay, that's a few items,
uh, for the reunion.
Julia from New Jersey,
you have a question for Jessica.
- Hey, guys.
So, Jessica, considering Fraser
was so unhappy with Heather
in the beginning
of the season,
what do you think happened
that caused him
to suck up to her
and start badmouthing you
to her?
- You know, I think it was
only a matter of time.
I didn't really have
too much in common,
I didn't feel like,
with the interior crew.
So I felt like
it was only a matter of time
before the two of them
were gonna gang up on me,
or he was gonna find
his nose far up her ass,
one or the other,
I don't know.
- Wow. Thank you,
virtual audience.
By the way, um, you know...
[cheers and applause]
Jessica, Heather's been vocal
to other people on the boat
about how unhappy
she is with you.
Were you surprised to hear her
talking to others about you?
- Yeah, considering
she didn't really come to me
too many times
unless the camera was there.
- What was your reaction
when you saw
Lee congratulate Fraser
on cleaning the laundry room?
- I think it was great
that he was given a few hours
to do solely that job,
and he did a great job doing it.
- Rachel,
did you ever find out
why there were so many flies
in the galley tonight?
- I don't know. I think it was
just because the door was open,
or you know,
it's the Caribbean,
if doors are open of if we're
by something on land, like,
they come in.
- By the way, Rachel,
how awkward on a scale
of 1-10 was it
planning that titty party
with Captain Lee?
[laughter]
- He's a motorboatin' SOB.
I love him.
[laughter]
- Are you saying
that Captain Lee
is a motoboating SOB?
- In a good way.
I love him to death,
so you know what?
- Listen, I don't take that
in a bad way.
Um, Jessica,
Brooke W. wants to know
what you thought about Fraser
blaming you for the smelly bag
of bread fruits that was found
in the laundry room?
- I honestly would love
to rewind the tape
and find out who put it there
and when it was there,
because I-- it was--
I had no idea.
We came from not
being on the boat,
so it could've been
any number of people
who put it there.
- What are bread fruits
again, Rachel?
- Um, they're normally
predominantly
in the Caribbean.
You can find them here
down in South Florida.
But they're very fibrous,
almost like yucca a little bit,
but softer, kind of like
a sour salt.
- Okay.
- It can be a vegetable
or savory
or whatever.
- Well, Rachel, while you
famously popularized
the word "cooter",
the rest of your vocabulary
isn't typically cuter.
I wanna play a round
of "Yachtie Mouths."
You're gonna
read off statements
that you may or may not
have said on Below Deck.
Jessica and I will guess
if they are real or fake.
Okay, give us
the first one, Rachel.
- "I can sniff out hot turds.
He is a steaming one."
- I think she said it.
You do too, Jess.
- Yeah, I do too.
- Did you?
- No.
- All right, okay,
give me another one.
- "I want some ----ing
dirty-ass crab.
"I want some dirty-ass music."
- Yes, I think
she said that,
when she was drunk.
What do you think? Yes.
- Drunk, yeah. On stage.
- There you g-- Yes?
Rachel?
- Huh?
Oh, that is real,
oh yeah.
- Okay.
Give us another.
- "I would rather
flick my own bean
"than deal with this goddamn
conversation with you ----s."
- Um, I think she said it.
What do you think, Jess?
- I think it's
definitely something
that she probably said.
- Did you say
you wrould rather
flick your own bean?
- I'm a chef, I have
to prepare it somehow.
- Is that what you
were referring to?
- Yup.
- Give us another
one, Rachel.
- "I make a souffle so sexy,
you'll wanna bang it."
- Okay, I think
she would say that,
but I don't think
she said it.
What do you think, Jess?
- I think that
it sounds too much
like something that could
come out of her mouth,
but I think you're right, Andy.
- Ahh, interesting.
And?
- It's fake!
- It's fake, very good.
Okay, all right,
give us another one.
- "Nobody wants the squirts
during dinner service."
- While true, I don't think
she said it.
What do you think? Jess?
- Mmm, no.
- Did you?
- Yep.
- Oh, wow.
Uh, you're a poet.
- I guess I just
don't know it.
- Yeah, okay, give us
another one.
- "Get the (BEEP)
out of my galley
"before I rip
your dick off."
- Yes, I think
she said it.
Did sh-- Yes, so it was Jess--
Did you say it, Rachel?
- I totally thought it
more than once, but no.
- All right, thank you
for playing "Yachtie Mouths."
Stick around, after the break,
more with these two,
and Watch What Happens Five.
We'll be right back.
Don't go anywhere.
* AC in the NYC
NYC AC *
- All right,
we're back.
I'm Andy, here with Rachel
and Jessica.
[cheers and applause]
You know, Jessica, you said
you thought Wes was so hot,
and he clearly thought
you were very attractive.
I'm wondering why we haven't
seen anything happen,
if you've gave him a ten!
- You know, I think
that he's a great catch,
but, you know, sometimes
it takes something
other than attractiveness,
you know?
It's not all that.
- Okay.
BaileyBlue02 said,
"Chef Rachel,
"don't you think Eddie's
criticism of you
"was justified last season,
considering your outbursts?
"You weren't exactly easy to
get along with all the time."
- You know, that's fine,
but, you know,
considering the fact that
I looked at him as a friend,
I thought that he would have
more respect for me
to come to me and
discuss things,
like, sitting down.
- Um, Jessica,
Macy L. wants to know
if you think--
"Do you know if Jake
told his fiancee
"that he made out with both
Fraser and Raina?"
- I think that
he probably did.
They have a pretty open
relationship, I think.
- Um, it was
really something
hearing Raina's, um, story
about the racism and abuse
that, uh, she's
experienced, um,
did she ever open up
to you about that, Jess?
- Um, things came up
here and there.
Uh, I never got, you know,
full stories like that,
but hearing it is just
heartbreaking, you know?
You don't want anybody to go
through that, you know?
Especially if someone's-- like
Raina, who's an amazing girl.
She doesn't deserve
something like that.
- No, no one does.
Um, Rachel, Garrison H.
wants to know
if you agree with Raina
that Heather is
a fake-ass bitch,
or do you find her
to be genuine?
- Uh, I think she's genuine
in her own way,
um, how she is,
that she tries to keep
a bright face on sometimes, too,
but, um, sometimes that's
people's coping mechanisms.
- Genuine in
her own way.
It is time for Watch
What Happens Five.
Jake and Fraser sealed
the crew's dysfunctional
relationship with a kiss,
but their makeout isn't
the first kiss on Bravo
to make waves.
Tonight, I'm counting down
the Top Five Kisses on Bravo.
Our number five kiss
is the number one memory
that replays on a loop
in my head,
it's when Frederick
kissed me at BravoCon.
[cheers and applause]
I was very shocked,
as you can see.
Uh, our number four kiss
is enough to get all
your candle wicks burning.
Remember Karen and
Reyes' make out? Wow!
That was amazing.
Our number three kiss
proves that couponing
is an aphrodisiac.
It is Tinsley and Scott
making out on their first date.
Oh, that was amazing.
Our number two kiss
is from a sleepover
that may have inspired
some sexual awakenings,
it's the Vanderpump ladies
making out at the slumber party.
That was maj.
Our number one kiss
is just a woman
trying to support
other women.
It's Sonja attempting
to make out with LuAnn
and Bethenny in Mexico.
See, Jake and Fraser?
You stand on
the shoulders of giants.
I wanna thank Rachel and Jessica
for being here.
The word of the night
was "Heather."
Said it twelve times.
If you've been playing
our drinking game, no driving.
Tomorrow night, Ariana
and Tom are here live
after Vanderpump Rules.
Watch our aftershow on Twitter.
See you guys later.
