At one point during the episode, Jill told Xandi Olivier, “I want to dry my hair and there’s no electric in the bathroom. Come," to which Xandi responded, "Sorry Jill, I’m coming."
Jill said, “Can I tell you something else? I have took a lot of yachts before. Every bathroom is loaded with two brushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, bandaids, and cutics.”
The reality TV star added, "Has anyone said that before,” to which Xandi replied, “No they have not but I completely understand what you’re saying.”
Jill continued, "Even tums. Some people can't handle the water or whatever it is. You should have tums in the bathroom.
