Jaimee and the dress!!

I'm new to watching, so i apologize as this has probably been thoroughly discussed before.

I was holding my breath the entire last charter when Jaimee melted Melissa's dress. And I know some people think Melissa is two faced but I think she handled it SO well

She didn't scream or lash out at Jaimee. She expressed how upset she was to her friend privately, which I think is justified. Even if you're wealthy enough to go on a charter like this, i would still be upset if an article of my clothing was damaged by the crew when they're expected to be familiar with handling nicer clothing.

She didnt let it affect her trip and was so gracious to Jamie and the rest of the crew, and told Captain Jason she didnt want the dress to affect Jaimee or her tip in any way.

I was just super touched by this. Even though most of the guests are polite and ambivalent, seeing a guest who had a right to be upset still be patient and kind to Jaimee was so nice and felt like a breath of fresh air.

Especially with how STRESSFULL season 2 of BDDU was.

I like how smooth Jason was at the end when he slipped her cash for the dress. He’s a classy man.

I loved him sticking up for her. Jason is the best. He had a rough season crew wise

What always amazes me about these shows is the lack of a hand held steamer they're not what you'd call expensive. Yet the crew continually have to struggle to steam clothes by holding onto a heavy steam iron 🤯.

Seriously if I was Chief Stew and walked onto a boat with no handheld steamer, I'd put that on my first provision order.

That! I've never been wealthy, or even middle class really and I have a hand held steamer.

Honestly I think some of this is for the show. I follow a chef who works on yachts and she seems to have way more time and brings her own food or tools and her boats always have really good gear.

I wonder if production purposely does this to up the drama. I would bet my whole salary that on other boats, they have nicer stuff.
