Below Deck #5 ⚓️

[Mooordgirl]

Ben is being exceptionally kind to the sous so far this ep! Hes def gonna blow

 

[cowtastrophe]

I’d gone right off Nathan, he can be a twat imo, but he is clawing it back with that sort of behaviour. More men need to call this sort of shit out.

Yeah, I liked it that he told Joe outright his behaviour was shitty.

 

[Maid22]

Luke is disgusting

 

[disneys]

8 week old baby and you’re completely isolated in a foreign country with no family around and a dad who only rocks up every 2-3 days for a night … horrendous situation , poor girl . Production should not have made her do that , even if it meant not having Nathan for a season . He’s not even that good TV and I doubt he’ll be back after his racist remarks !

 

[cowtastrophe]

He doesn't have to try hard, she's letting anyone and everyone have a go.

Just catching up. Kizzy is the kind of woman who adopts Pussycat Dolls ‘Doncha’ as her personal anthem.

 

[cowtastrophe]

I used to really like Ben and was excited when we heard he was coming back. But this season I've really not liked him. He acts entitled and thinks he's above everyone because he's a "bravo star".
He's a creep going after such a young girl, even tho she is actively seeking him out too. If he hadn't have encouraged it, I don't think she would be tho. She only likes him because he's older and she think he has money (I have no idea how wealthy he is). If he was a penniless deck hand, she wouldn't look twice. She'd think he was a creepy old man.

I don’t think anyone apart from Betul comes across well in this season. I don’t know why the lechy, sexist behaviour of the men in Below Deck seems to go unchallenged so much. I was genuinely aghast at Gary’s behaviour in the last season of BDSY and how he was allowed to get away with it.

 

[Restless Native]

Stop messing Eddie about ffs. I dont think shes particularly into him or Ben she just wants attention from them

 

[BoPeeps78]

Sous chef seems a bit sensitive - you need a thick skin in the kitchen (galley)!

Especially if your working with Ben. Ben may be a dick in the kitchen, but he's a good chef and he knows what he wants. Alesia never got properly trained for a culinary career and it shows.

 

[Jbug22]

Jenna has lost me - no self awareness! Ughh at Barbie being back. She was awful person on her last series. And besties with Ellie - sums her up

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

I'm so bored of these screechy women fighting all the time. I've never watched housewives so maybe I'd enjoy it more if i did?

 

[Lurkernomore]

Nathan is a prime example that just because you're good at your job, doesn't make you a good leader. He gives no one any direction, he's hot headed and just absent. I get his gf and baby are there, but maybe if you can't hack the lifestyle after having the baby just don't go back to boats? Joy is my absolute fave so far, what a woman!

 

[raindropsroses]

I really admire Betul for going to Capt Jason and asking for a reasonable accommodation. It must be so hard to adapt to the variety of accents on board at the best of times, let alone when you’re trying to dock/set sail. I’m a native English speaker and I always have the subtitles on. I really hope she thrives now she’s let the captain know why she was struggling.

I’m not an Ellie fan, but I’m not a Ben fan either. I can’t wait to see them at each others’ throats.

 

[raindropsroses]

I would feel so violated if I were Nathan and found out that I'd been unknowingly sleeping in my colleague's cum

Chef Joy is possibly the best chef of the franchise?

This feels like such a horny season.

 

[Restless Native]

And both completely lacking in self-awareness. It's crazy that neither of them could understand how totally unacceptable their behaviour was.

Jizzy is one of those stews thats in it for the fame this year.

 

[whatisawhat]

Alesia is a scumbag.

 

[Ticktickmeh]

Oh my god, this primary might be one of the worst guests ever.

Edit: he just said "ejaculate" in front of Captain Sandy!!!

Agree, he was terrible. And when he was saying, I have this and I have that i am worth x million and "i am reasonably good looking" ( eh no you aren't)
Then boasted how much he was paying his gf à month.

Such a gross man

Edit to add, still not a Gen fan, she is a bit of a pick me

 

[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.

 

[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!
