Below Deck #5 ⚓️

[Maid22]

Below Deck was so much better when they had actual yachties in the job; now, at least 25% of the cast each series has minimal/no experience and is just brought in because they think “they’d make good TV”. Like that horrendous french woman on one of the other series whose sole task seemed to be to kiss/sleep with as many people as usual.

it was one of the best reality TV shows, because it used to be one of the few that still WAS reality TV. It’s just far too fake and staged now.

Unfortunately this seems to be the way for most reality shows now, most folks are doing it for their 15 mins of fame!

I'm only still watching this very tedious series because of the teased drama with nightmare guests and possible police involvement.

The stews are awful this season, even Rainbeau - get a grip girl have some dignity!

As for th Scottish lothario - he's like a baby Gary. Utter creep.

 

[VeeJayBee]

The new style editing is like an Insta reel, awful.

 

[cowtastrophe]

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.

Its chef Ben from Med and Daisy from Sailing doing the next series

I am so over Daisy. She gives off vibes that she's too good for her job now, just wants to be a celebrity, and far too many personal dramas like with Gary and Colin. Anyone who does more than 2-3 seasons seems to go that way.

I've also seen today on Tzarina's insta that she has blocked Harry and they no longer speak.
She's said she can't explain why yet, so I'm guessing there's a lot to come in the episodes left.

Harry seems to got the bug that some of them get when they are repeat cast - that they think they are a star. Telling Tz to calm it down so that her fans didn't go after Lara is wrong. Telling ANYONE to calm down has never worked. I doubt anyone sent death threats to Lara. I'm sure she's getting hate but that sounds like her trying to be the victim in all of this. And Harry is not the adjudicator of BD cast Instagram accounts, so fuck off Harry.

 

[Isthatso?]

I’m watching for the guests getting so drunk they are hauled off the boat then I’m out

 

[BeachBaby]

Normally they leave in seniority of position but solene was last to leave other than Fraser. Either her contract specified she was to be the star ( hence not being fired) or production really thought the public would love her. She was a full on pain in the arse.

 

[raindropsroses]

He’s a sleazy bastard, always has been, always will be. Part of it is that he’s shallow as fuck but I think part of it is that he’s so emotionally immature, he knows he wouldn’t really be able to handle someone his own age. He wants someone easier to manipulate, who’s more likely to be impressed by his ‘experience’ etc. I think he’s been hilarious in previous seasons, and he’s a good chef, but without his previous silliness and humour, he is just chippy, sulky, immature and, dare I say, lazy.

He definitely has a victim complex.

 

[KerGlr5]

The preview for next week showing the fall out with Nathan and Joe looks interesting…. Very different from how they started together!

 

[cowtastrophe]

Wow Jenna was annoying in that episode , marking her territory like a bloody cat

I saw a clip from the next episode and she is AWFUL Drunk, whining, stropping, crying, shouting. I didn’t expect to hate her more than Pickmesia but I actually do. She dropped Eddy, went off and shagged Ben but was still flirting with Eddy, got annoyed when she was called out on it then just whined like a toddler. And her behaviour around Barbie - jesus, could she be any more immature?

 

[cowtastrophe]

Watched the finale tonight. Loved V stepping on Kizzi’s foot. Also hilarious that Joe clearly expected a shag and ended up eating noodles by himself.

Max makes my skin crawl. He's so needy and I don’t find him attractive in the slightest. However, I’m literally twice the age of a lot of them so it would be creepy if I started fawning after them.

 

[Django]

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

I think he's an interesting man, and he's explained why he trained as a clown. I feel so sorry for Gael...Nathan is the creep.

 

[Lalala12]

Kizzi saying she “hates boys” after breaking up with her boyfriend cos she wants to kiss other people… ?!

 

[KerGlr5]

I love when the girls are all dancing in a sexy manner and the camera goes to Aesha would LOVE a night out with her

 

[Demilee124]

Yeah the fact that Bri couldn’t be honest with Lara about how she was managing her and that she was upset and overwhelmed when they’re supposed to be besties, that is not a friendship!

I hope the next one is better, Lara really ruined the vibe in this one.

Tzarina is a lot but I do think she’s got a good heart. Do you think she might be neurodiverse? I am and she reminds me of how I was when I was younger just trying to fit in and not really being me in social situations. As others have said, there’s no way that Lara would have tried half that shit with Ben or some of the other male chefs, she was horrible to Tzarina the whole way through and trying to put it on T as the bad one

 

[cowtastrophe]

Alecia’s mum is a half wit honestly that girl has no hope

This.

’You're useless HAHAHA only joking!’

 

[Me123x]

Ellie is a psycho

 

[BoPeeps78]

Both Alesia AND Mike should have been called out for leaving the mess. It wasn't fair to leave all of that for the morning crew. Alesia rolls out a few tears and always manages to get out of trouble and get her way. I love Ben, but it was shitty of him to leave the cleaning up to Ellie (even though Ellie probably deserved it for the shit she pulled last time she was on BD.)

 

[murielsweddingplanner]

Im finding it so slow. 1 set of guests across 3 episodes. Am hoping its just because it was the housewives and rest of season doesnt drag out each charter like this.
