"When the cast of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City boarded the Katina, I expected the charter to lead to one of two outcomes: The challenge would make the crew strong to the point of indestructibility, or it would drive everybody so insane they'd all end up jumping overboard. For the most part, the interior and deck teams gave us a master class in dependability, working in perfect harmony"
"When we pick up on the first dinner of the charter, the Housewives are still at one another's throats, meanwhile Mary and Angie enjoy their food peacefully in their cabin. The ladies love the food, not that we would know from anything they said directly to the chef. Over dinner, almost every crew member comes up to the sundeck for one reason or another - to get feedback, to clear a plate or shattered glass,"
"Between lunch and dinner, something possessed Ben to feel bad about being too harsh on his sous. Maybe it was the prospect of a long season ahead. He reassures Alesia that giving her a hard time is a "sign of endearment"; Ben is what we in the United States call a ballbuster. Besides, let's be honest: He is a great chef, but this dessert is total bull. A "deconstructed cheesecake""
The charter aboard the Katina exposed stark differences in crew performance. Interior and deck teams executed their duties dependably while galley tensions escalated. Dinner revealed ongoing fights among the Housewives, with Mary and Angie quietly enjoying their meal amid the chaos. Jason's choice to sit with guests for dessert created last-minute confusion because the galley was not informed. Ben alternated between harsh critique and reassurance, framing tough feedback as endearment. A poorly executed "deconstructed cheesecake" with bottled chocolate sauce aggravated the situation after an elegant main course. Alesia became increasingly frustrated and considered leaving the ship.
