We left Elise and FunBobby setting race relations in Canadia back a hundred years, and side note: it SNOWED finally! I love winter, I’m such a Canucklehead (minus the hockey, add basketball), but you should probably ask me in February if I lurve winter so much still.

It’s the next day after BlackButlerGate (“here to serve you and ALL BLACK”) and Charlotte and Bobby sound like they’re gossiping, but really: they worried. Bobby doesn’t think he’s racist, and I don’t know, but I’m sure he was a pushy ahole right then and THAT is what he should be worried about.

Pushing a crew member who already feels ostracized to do a role much better suited to your bestie, the assistant, is buullllllsshiiiiittt. Kendra OR Elise shoulda said something at the time, since they were both there.

Jim missed the whole screaming “Oh Fcuk YOUUUUU” at your boss thing last night, he is skeptical and wary, and he should be. That’s a tricky defensive move, Bobby. When your boss calls you a racist and you scream profanities in response? They were off the clock, thank bob for that anyway.

Kendra decides to address the issue head on and asks Bobby and Charlotte if they’re going to be treating her differently because of the blowup, good for her! Bobby asks if she agrees with Elise that he is a racist and when she says she doesn’t think he is, says that’s good! He dislikes her for her, not her skin.

Headbangheadbangheadbangheadbang

How can he think this is helping?? Me and Kendra are incredulous. Bobby, get your head out of your adorable ass and see what you are doing!! He calls Elise a bitch. TO KENDRA.

Morning meeting time! Tamara is owt, so Elise is running it. In a beret, booty shorts and tights. Now, I know y’all probably have never been to Whistler, but here is what it looks like in winter:

Booty shorts: not recommended

I can’t tell is Elise if high or not, but she tells everyone she spent the weekend cooking steak and shrimp in her lingerie. By everyone, I mean ALL OF HER EMPLOYEES. And she’s smiling, which confuses Bobby and I. Imma go with high.

The first client group is headed by a Jonathan Knight impersonator called Siavash

He’s a Vancouver promoter by way of Tehran and has buddies Nic and Anya. They want to zipline and Lynsey jumps in and Elise squashes. Lynsey has a laid back but take-charge personality without a whole lotta respect for chain of command and Elise is a flexer, so. We shall see.

The next set of clients are Lauren and Colin (aren’t there TWO “l”s in Collin?) and they’re from California. She’s a fitness model and a pro athlete and he’s…some lucky schlub? They want a photo shoot and Kendra is allllls over it; it matches Kendra’s fashion background.

They call the clients, who ramble on about the type of photo shoot they want blah blah NOT fitness model blah sexy blah blah Whistler fantasy blah blah so…flannel pjs and some Kokanee beer? It’s COLD DERE.

During the call, Lynsey DARES to repeatedly interrupt Elise interrupting the client (who doesn’t notice) and this will not end well. Elise deals with it in a super professional way by staring Lynsey down while turning her back on the clients and then making fun of her in interviews. Elise is really her own worst enemy. I know I’m supposed to dislike her, I just think she’s trying and missing by inches.

Jim and Kendra will be handling the photo shooting with the fitness model; a proposal is in the works! Yay! I’m a sucker for proposals. Relashies are so awesome in the beginning.

Charlotte calls her improbably named boyfriend Deej, who she calls Tiger and…he has spectacular gayface. I mean really fabulous.

They talk about how this assistant job is so below her talent level and well. Maybe, right? I mean, we don’t know her from before, maybe she’s a concierging whiz and she’s keeping it carefully hidden!

Elise, in booty shorts, dangly earrings, heels and short fur jacket, Jim and Kendra scout a photo shoot location, it’s a gorgeous house with DIS TUB!!

Moar rose petals and candles and Jim decides this is the time to discuss ButlerGate; Jim interviews that thus far he is disappoint in Elise’s management style. It’s hilarious, because I’ve never heard anyone use these words to describe their boss before: “I just don’t see her applying herself. I’m waiting to see her really shine.”

Charlotte has a wedding to attend, so she’s owt for the following evening and Bobby always has that phone in his hand, hey? Quit scrolling, you ADHD mofo

Client meetings! Lauren and Colin look sah pretty and Lauren is ‘cited while Bobby and Charlotte meet Sivash

And his friends and so nice; Bobby’s broken out the good red plaid again to go with his sweat-stained baseball cap. Do you think he has a date after? Tone it down, Bob, no need to blind the client with magnificence right off the hop!

Nic, Sivash’s buddy, is skeered of the ziplining, so they blah blah blah. Um. Maybe this should have been discussed with the client before booking. I mean. They can’t even blame this one on Kendra.

Kendra and Jim’s client meeting is going really well, he’s laid back and funny and Kendra is just so glad to be away from the Bobby / Charlotte Tag Team that she could just jump up and down.

Manufactured Drama time! Bobby meets with Tamara and tattles on Elise; Tamara cannot believe. I cannot believe Tamara actually discusses her evaluation of Elise’s management style with Bobby, WHAT THE SAM HILL IS GOING ON??? People screaming profanities at their boss, evaluating their bosses, said bosses being undermined publicly AND in confidence with subordinates. Did Bravo make them hire Elise and she’s some kind of a Scapegoat / pinata? No comprende

The team meets and thinks they have all their client ducks in a row. Sounds like the reality show death knell to me!

Elise, Kendra and Jim drive to set up the photo shoot / proposal and talk about lurve, and yeah, I get it, JSierra. There’s some flirting there between Elise and Jim. Awww this must be Everybody Loves Jim Week! Or Everyone Hates Bobby Week. One of those.

The concierges go forage for the ziplining clients and…it’s a little budget, amirite? Right before meeting them, they grab champs, Fireball and sushi from a stripmall? None of that goes together, bee tee dubs. They bring it to the zipline, and whew. Still in plastic bags. Good thing they’re not supposed to be high end.

Nic really does NOT want to zipline! Fireball whiskey is making him amenable and open to the outside and…he still doesn’t want to go. He downs half a mickey in 10 minutes and they make him go first. I wanna hurl just watching. And he does it!! And cries.

The photo shoot and I’m nervous. Lauren is a professional model. About to be proposed to. MY NERVES! Lynsey is concerned that Lauren hasn’t gotten to shred the gnar and I don’t know what that means. Snowboarding? Little help?

There is a fire and a professional photographer and hair and makeup and Elise is a pillow floofer and I was distracted by Bobby swearing and peeing himself on the zipline.

Lauren is all ready for the photo shoot with her giant bewbs, Daisy Dukes and cowboy boots. Lucky schlub has tribal tattoo bewbies, is that the new norm? Bobby has skull boobs!

For whatever reason, Elise has completely taken over the photo shoot from Kendra and even gets in there and ruins Lauren’s hurr by brushing it out while Lauren frantically eyeballs Kendra and says “I really like it how it is. I really like it how it is”. I’m tense and Elise is CLUELESS. Guuuurl. She had her hair done by a hairdresser! Get your skanky old paddle brush out of there!

Supper time at the zipline! Outside, with a raging fire and sushi on styrofoam plates. Sigh.

Proposal time!! Tamara calls Elise, who goes on full alert. I may be a bad person because I’m hoping that worrying about that will distract her enough that she doesn’t fcuk up this proposal.

It goes pretty well, if…odd? When Lauren sees the ring box, she laughs out loud and man. Her giant implants are so distracting. They don’t match her frame at all and make her look heavier than I’m sure she is. Speaking of size, later on Lauren calls the ring “cute and dainty” in a baby voice and in case you didn’t catch that, Colin, that means it isn’t big enough. Anyway! Mazel tov!

Jim and Lynsey take it upon themselves to take Lauren and Colin shredding (that involves snowboarding?)because they got 7 inches last night (snicker) while Elise has That Meeting with Tamara. Now. Tamara is a Canadian Boss, so she wants to talk things through and discuss how Bobby feels, and Elise loses her temper almost immediately. This might not be a good fit.

Charlotte and Bobby are gonna hot tub and I’m SURE Charlotte doesn’t mean to be so creepy when she tells Kendra they wanna see “that ass”. I’m positive.

Lynsey and Jim taking the clients up on the mountain while it’s puking snow is exactly why I would not be a good Whistler concierge. That looks dangerous!! I’ll be in the pub ordering appies on porcelain plates.

LYNSEY. DON’T TALK ABOUT ELISE WITH THE CLIENTS! She doesn’t listen to me, and Lauren decides she must stay and shred some more on the hill. Jim calls Elise to arrange to have the flights changed and the marked difference between Elise’s voice and demeanor when she thinks she’s talking to Jim and when she realises she’s talking to the client is HIGH.LARRY.US.

The shredding looks like so much fun! I’ve never snowboarded, only skied, and that looks really cool. From the pub ordering appies.

Wrapup dinner! It’s the Sunday Bro-down! Again no Tamara and just Elise is here. Um. Elise has her own name tattooed over her breast. Her.own.name. She doesn’t say hello when everyone sits down, just keeps scrolling through her phone and…I love that Bobby calls her out on it. “I’m sorry. Are we pretending this is normal?” until she puts it away. Let the fight begin! Ding ding!

Elise apologizes for calling Bobby racist and tells Jim how much she appreciates his expertise. Jim decides this is time for a management review and he brings up how her attitude unnerves everyone. I seriously don’t think she understands how stomping around and / or pouting may be her way of dealing with stress, but is a hella shitty way to manage people. Nobody wants to walk on eggshells around their boss’s swiftly changing moods.

Elise calls JIM a drama queen

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHHANANAN

For reals!!!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHANANANAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And it’s a throwdown. Last week Bobby was a racist and now Jim is a misogynist and see? Elise is never at fault.

She’s making the mistake a lot of new managers make; failing to read the team and be collaborative and empower them to be the best they can be. Instead she is covering her fear and intimidation with an autocratic front to appear strong and that.never.works. Get it together, Elise! I really want you to succeed!!

I guess we’re done? Elise is crying, Jim is shaking his head and Kendra just wants him to take the apology. I think the team is deeply concerned about the management and sometimes here in Canada, we just go ahead and say so. Elise is NOT used to this collaborative style of management and sees it as undermining her AUTHOR-IT-TIE. Next week teambuilding! Yaaayy

We oot!
