Below Deck #5 ⚓️

[whatisawhat]

Alesia is a scumbag.

 

[squacksquack]

So it was that series? I always thought he was jealous of her relationship with Jack, and that’s where a lot of the vitriol came from, albeit some was just him being awful. It’s just such a turnaround, I like to think it’s genuinely that he’s changed and grown up, rather than putting on a good show!

I do think he’s grown up. His energy seems completely different. He comes across as very stready now.
He was a jerk to Aesha but people do grow and change. I love Aesha but I can see how she could rub people the wrong way.

 

[disneys]

Yeah I hate Nathan . I felt him going off at Joe who yes we know has his issues but over something so small on the day of his mum’s cancer diagnosis was so unnecessary and uncomfortable . I was pleased Aesha pointed that out

Josef was a twat but Nathan inflamed the situation . If he’d reacted like Sandy or Aesha who are professionals then that would’ve been that . How are you going to be a bosun or higher if you can’t deal calmly with drunk entitled rich dudes

plus he’s an intolerant prick x

 

[I_C bread ppl]

I‘m watching BD Down Under S2 and

Spoiler: TW for SA

Luke tries to get in Margot’s bunk naked to have sex with her when she’s drunk and is stopped by the production team.

What the actual fuck. I remember something similar happening on Med and the guy was fired immediately. THIS is where guys are rapists and they refuse to acknowledge it. ‘We were both drunk, yr’honour but I believed she consented’.

This was so shocking and triggering to watch!!! However it was handled so well by Aisha, CAPT J and production.

 

[Louanne]

When they're sat outside the light is really bright on him so there's obviously a camera crew there. Granted if it was picked up by a camera in a corridor it'd be caught out being sneaky but as you say definitely staged.

I'm say staged on the guests' side, but I'd put nothing beyond Kizzie, she's like a dog on heat.
Wouldn't be surprised to find her humping a fender!

[Offish]

I don’t like Joe at all. He puts on this cheeky scouse chappie thing but I think he’s a bit of a shit really.

A bit is very kind of you. He’s a proper prick, both in a romantic sense in that he says anything he thinks will get him in his current targets pants but also in a friendship sense imo. Obviously Nathan has been a bit of a below par bosun but if it was my ‘best mate’ getting in shit at work because I was dicking around, I’d get my shit together, but he just got the hump that he was being asked to do his actual job rather than fucking about. He’s just out for himself.
And don’t even get me started on his holey as fuck story about his ex who apparently he was so in love with but left in another country rather than making it work and then just dumping because his job didn’t work out… rather than just coming home to her? Fucking idiot.

 

[Django]

I have to say, I liked Alésia las season, but I can see why Ben is getting annoyed with her. She moans a lot about fucking up, but several times Ben has asked for specific things, she's done something different, and then she gets annoyed that he picks her up on it?
He tried to help by giving instruction but despite admitting she's had no training, she still thinks she knows best? Makes no sense.

And these RH guests are fucking vile.

She's a spoilt little brat who runs to her mummy whenever she fucks up. She said that she wanted to go to culinary school after her last season but instead spent her winter skiing!

 

[KerGlr5]

I really liked him till this episode! What a mess. How crazy how within 5 mins they were off to the beach then shagging in the men’s toilets. Absolutely vile especially on the floor

 

[americandirt16]

I cannot believe Alesia gave Jason an ultimatum. Saying how she goes to work for Daisy or she leaves. Girl. Fuck off then. And Jason just bending over?
& Imagine you’re her boyfriend! She should be ashamed of how she’s treating both him and Ed (is that his name?) And Jenna. That text she sent to him was soooo toxic. Mind you his reply was horrid too.

Ben is a cunt as well. Literally makes my skin crawl. Horrible man

Joao and Ellie used to do my head in and they’re actually preferable to all the other regulars this season. Talk about a redemption arc.

 

[Maid22]

I am a fan of RHOSLC, but my god they did my head in on this, feel sorry for the folks who have no idea who they are!

 

[SkinnerBells]

Eddy now giving me incel vibes. And IMO Jenna shouldn’t have been demoted - so many male crew have done much worse in previous seasons and not faced this level of punishment. A bollocking? Yes. But being publicly stripped of responsibility is really extreme. They were all very, very drunk. Seems a tad sexist.

 

[Offish]

I just don’t think daisy has it in her to really commit properly… personally I think she needs to give up yachting first, but I might be wrong. I hope I’m wrong!

 

[SC1990]

Kathy and Aesha have the measure of Kizzy. She’s absolutely desperate for male validation, she doesn’t care who from. Also, did anyone else notice the chef massaging Kathy’s feet in the car? I think he seems sweet, not sure why no one seems interested in him at all.

He creeps me out, dunno why. Especially when he's dressed as a clown

 

[jenmarks]

Mike's hair is sprayed into the shape of a bicycle helmet.

Yes, it's like a bizarre kind of comb-over?! Surely he doesn't think it looks good...?!

 

[jackssack]

Mike is awful. He's a shit stirrer plain and simple. I really hope he gets fired in the next episode.

 

[SkinnerBells]

Read on Reddit this week about Allesia and Jason perhaps having had an off-boat romance prior to the season - or something with Allessia’s identical twin sister. Either way - yeah, weird chemistry there. What a hilarious shit show this week was!

 

[JodieGreen123]

Whoever mentioned Aesha looking different - this is her when she first appeared on the show

View attachment 4033182

I’d say the only difference in the way she looks now however many years later is that she’s even slimmer, but that’s really it?

 

[KerGlr5]

Kizzy was infuriating, loving the drama of it and making it all about her. At least Joe is showing some remorse, despite being a dick.

 

[Restless Native]

Solene is there by production to create drama. Ex love islander who hasn’t worked in yachting before and doing a useless job. It’s really putting me off below deck.

Its so much better when it's proper yachties. The problem is now the genuine yachties that end up on it for a few seasons end up all about the fame and influencing.
