It's so funny because when you look at the guys, that's never a topic of conversation. Yeah. What you look like? Yeah. Did you watch the football last night? It's never about, I'll watch your skincare routine. Whereas women walk into a room and because we've been taught to be pitted against each other. Yeah. Not always, but sometimes there's, oh my God, you know, I can't. It's a bit of a barrier. Yeah, yeah. and it shouldn't be there.

We should be trying to change that stereotype. always, but sometimes there's, oh my God, you know, I can't. A bit of a barrier. Yeah, yeah, and it shouldn't be there.

We should be trying to change that stereotype, believing that there is space for everybody. You've got questions. We've got answers. Rana Glickman here. Brian Safi here. And we are the hosts of Ask Rana with Rana. And Brian. Every week we're joined by incredible guests like Conan O'Brien, Trixie Mattel, Jacob Anderson, and more.

I love you, Rana. Excuse me.

Welcome back to Anchor Watch, our weekly below deck chat, where we take over Adam's channel to recap the highest rated show on Bravo, below debt.

Which I feel like right now we have a lot to talk about, which is nice.

It's a change. It's a change.

We're on the right path.

We were anticipating that maybe the below deck that we love is back, and I really do think it is. I really do. It's getting there. It's getting. I mean, what, this is episode 11, you know, we only have a few more episodes left. I think five. And then we're done with this one. How has the anticipation of the season? That's what I'm going to start. And live chat too, guys, while we're waiting for people to come in the room and stuff, we're going to be reading our favorite captions from last night from X and Reddit or wherever you like look at during the show, which I love to do. And I just want to see what you guys rate this episode. So go ahead and rate that in the live chat. We're waiting for people to come in the room. And then, yeah, Gelsie, what was your, what did you anticipate the season and what is it given us?

Well, I definitely anticipated the season to be a lot more. What the last two episodes have been, I thought

that was going to be the whole season. There was a couple like moments in the beginning. I was like,

oh my God, like right off the bat, they forget the luggage on the dock, the Bosen socks, all these things that I'm like, oh, this is going to be good.

It's going to be good.

And then it just like fell so flat.

We all know that we've talked about it this whole time about how much it's disappointing us.

But now it's kind of revving back. And I feel like the things that they put in the season preview are all happening now, which finally. Finally. Finally. I do feel like I think we're going to get. I mean, clearly we're going to get in. I feel like this whole episode was revolved around Kyle, so that's not going to get into it yet. But I do feel like there still is some, there was a lot of cock teasing if I have no other way to put it. And it's the only thing my brain wants to say right now. You know, I feel like they still are, it's kind of this like,

we're expecting people to get fired, they're making it look a certain way, and it's just still

kind of like, yeah, not quite, like, which I get, again, I always ride it away.

Yeah, I just, I think there's still a little bit of like worm dangling, which I've been saying from the beginning. But, but they're finally, it's stepping up and it's, I'm more engaged now than I was. You know, I am more engaged. I'm more excited about it, which is nice because like last night I sat down and watched it. I'm like, now I just never know what we're going to get. So I'm like, do I, am I excited to watch this?

Am I, do I, am I going to waste my time for, you know, a good hour? But yeah, it did, it did definitely like, it did give, which I was excited about. And I've so much to talk to you guys about. But before we jump in the episode, I want to read what people are saying on X. It's our new favorite thing to do at the top of the show here.

Plus, Gelsie, I want to start the show and talk about watch what happens live last night because Kyle and Fraser were both on with Andy last night.
