Below Deck<\/em><\/a> fans have been waiting for Jill Zarin<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s highly anticipated appearance \u2014 and the former Housewife didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n

During the Monday, April 1, episode of Below Deck<\/em>, Jill, 60, was a guest on the newest charter and it didn\u2019t take long for her to give primary energy. Stew Barbie Pascual<\/strong> was the first to experience<\/a> Jill\u2019s demands when the former Real Housewives of New York City<\/em><\/a> star complained about her drink.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to say that this ice machine is not the best. Dump it,\u201d Jill told Barbie, who was able to find different ice. \u201cThis is nugget ice. I don\u2019t care about anyone else. My Diet Cokes? [They go] into the freezer.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a confessional, Barbie shared her initial thoughts on Jill, saying, \u201cJill is the primary in her head. She\u2019s overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tA next-level Bravo crossover. Over the years, Below Deck viewers have been surprised with cameos from some of the biggest Real Housewives stars. During season 7 of Below Deck, Alexis Bellino made a memorable appearance alongside then-boyfriend Andy Bohn. After her divorce from Jim Bellino was finalized, the Real Housewives of Orange County star moved [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jill was also not thrilled with the bathroom situation on the ship, St. David.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I tell you something else? Because I\u2019ve chartered a lot of yachts before and every bathroom is loaded with toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, bandaids. Has anyone ever said that before?\u201d she asked Barbie. \u201cEven Tums [since] some people can\u2019t handle the water or whatever it is. You should have Tums in the bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jill continued: \u201cThat was all. I\u2019m like, the complainer, I\u2019m sorry. There\u2019s chocolates on the pillow, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbie attempted to placate Jill\u2019s demands, telling chief steward Fraser Olender<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cJill just pulled me into the bathroom and she said that yachts are supposed to have all this stuff. She is painful.\u201d<\/p>\n

While speaking to the cameras, Barbie expressed her frustration. \u201cI think she\u2019s annoying and I think it is too much,\u201d she noted. \u201cYou are a freeloading guest who is extremely demanding. This is too much for me. I need another stew just for Jill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jill subsequently got a special basket with toiletries, which she considered \u201cscrambling\u201d on the crew\u2019s part. On the second day of the character, Jill brought up her issues with timing.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a big boat. They can\u2019t be here all the time. But sometimes, like, if you need hot sauce on a hot plate of food, you don\u2019t want to wait five minutes for it because it is going to be cold,\u201d she told her fellow guests.<\/p>\n

Jill elaborated on her observation to Fraser, saying, \u201cCan I give you another recommendation for the yacht? I had this on mine. A button for the primary and it is like a doorbell. I used to have a doorbell and it would go up to the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The demands made Fraser feel as if Jill was \u201ccrawling into\u201d his brain and \u201ceating away\u201d at his soul. Later that day, Fraser was off the boat preparing for a beach event, which is when lunch went awry without his knowledge.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Below Deck franchise has had its fair share of chaos over the years, but there were some moments that stood out more. During season 7 of the Bravo show, chief stew Kate Chastain and bosun Ashton Pienaar had a scary confrontation when the latter was drunk after a night out. Ashton ended up punching [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI am thinking about the food, not the service. I am talking about the food. I know I wrote on my [preference sheet] that I wanted food out all the time. But there has to be something that is out all day,\u201d Jill mentioned in front of Barbie. \u201cThat is why I have to get involved. I am a little pushy but at least you will be satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n

For lunch, chef Anthony Iracane<\/strong> attempted to make a meal that took everyone\u2019s dietary restrictions into account. However, the confusion led to some guests receiving their meals on time and others \u2014 such as Jill \u2014 having to wait longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not good. [The] burger is cold. Anybody else? Tell the truth. Just tell them, they don\u2019t mind. I mean, they want you to tell them,\u201d Jill said to her friends. \u201cMy instinct was not to be surprised and to know all the meals in advance. I am much better off knowing in advance and this way I can make adjustments to make it better.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Anthony, it felt as if Jill was \u201ctaking over the boat,\u201d<\/a> noting, \u201cIt\u2019s like she\u2019s a f\u2014king captain. She\u2019s taking over the ship.\u201d Barbie, meanwhile, told a friend over the phone that she hated \u201cthis f\u2014king Housewife so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fraser spoke to Jill about the issues, which she assured him weren\u2019t that serious.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, don\u2019t be sorry. But when you are sitting there and you don\u2019t know what is going on then half the dishes come out and the other half don\u2019t. Mine comes out cold.Something is off,\u201d she explained. \u201cYou do it once and you make sure you never do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The episode ended with Anthony being affected by all the demands. Captain Kerry Titheradge<\/strong> subsequently reminded him that they need to be catering to their primary \u2014 who wasn\u2019t Jill \u2014 first.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is happening is that Jill is rattling our cage too much and we are focusing on Jill. We should be focusing on the primary,\u201d Kerry pointed out. \u201cWe can\u2019t drift away from what the primary wants, otherwise we make more and more mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Jill\u2019s onscreen appearance on Below Deck<\/em>, Kerry and Fraser teased the challenging charter.<\/a><\/p>\n
