Below Deck #5 ⚓️

[Ginnyjo]

Aren't Gaels parents immigrants?

 

[VeeJayBee]

Aesha got married

She looks so beautiful and happy! I just hope she didn't give a scatological speech, she can't seem to help herself talking about icky stuff

 

[Ticktickmeh]

Sandy hardly featured this year.

Kizzy is going to end up marrying the guy she dumped cos they are engaged. Makes you wonder if it was some weird agreement between them that she could be "single" on the boat for maximum screen time

I think this, she made that weird point of it just being a kiss as she rattled off every one she did and didn't kiss.

And maybe that was why I didn't mind Sandy this season, less screen time.

Rainbeau suddenly kissing and declaring love for Solene was so awkward.

I think shes just trying to fit in and mirroring their behaviour. She does seem a bit odd but I actually feel a bit sorry for her

 

[cowtastrophe]

Is it just me or is the shape of Ben’s head really strange?

 

[KerGlr5]

I’m invested in Daisy and Joao. Feel they’re maybe both in a similar place in life in wanting a partner etc. just hope Daisy doesn’t mess it up like she did with Colin.

They all complained about poo in the shower but when Kizzi was changing the toilet hadn't been flushed

Having to handle Someone else's shit out of a shower drain is not the same as Someone not flushing the toilet lol

Joe is only crying because he knows hes going to look like an absolute dickhead doing that to V when shes dealing with everything else

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

This season will be unwatchable for me if they constantly remind us that Nathan and Gayle go on to have a baby. Just let us know when it gets messy because we know it will.

 

[Restless Native]

He had a wig i thought

I think it was a comb over

 

[VeeJayBee]

Mike's hair looks terrible but you can't deny it stays in place despite winds on deck - surely Got2B Glued hairspray have to sign him up

 

[CaptainHolt]

After all of the Solene nonsense of the last series I quite enjoyed BD Mediterranean today and don't get the hatred for Captain Sandy. I was also happy to see that Aleisha is engaged despite her boyfriend pooh photos and think that her shorter hair really suits her.

I also don't mind Sandy. She can be a bit annoying at times and definitely makes some odd decisions but generally she's the least annoying member of the crew.

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

Kyle saying "Good morning Glasgow" had me chuckling. There's a guy that shouts that in glasgow and always gets a reply

Probably a niche few would have understood that.

 

[Louanne]

Oh bless her 🩷 I feel her pain! Getting away from the wrong types of people and realising it doesn’t matter if they like her or not will be a blessing for her. Unfortunately, there’s probably a million Lara’s in yachting!! Go find your real people T.

Exactly. I have ADHD and find it really difficult to process if people don't accept me, or even if I get shouted out or corrected. However, I'm lucky that I was encouraged from an early age to fully be independent, not to answer to anyone to or worry about their opinions, and understand that if people don't want to be friends, you didn't need them around anyway.

My parents always told me "As long as you can look yourself in the mirror at the end of the day and still be proud of who you are, that's enough".

 

[cowtastrophe]

João has had a great character arc! He started off as a complete tool, and now he's the golden boy.

I always remember Joao being an absolute cunt to Aesha though.

 

[raindropsroses]

I went from liking Nathan for calling Joe out, to hating him again with the ridiculous throwing of chicken nuggets at Max and Cathy? I don’t really like Max either, but to a) steal a drunk girls nuggets and b) waste them by throwing them around is actual teenage behaviour.

 

[Mooordgirl]

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

 

[Louanne]

I don't like all the close up 'filler' bits in this series! Close ups of the tap / coffee dripping into a cup / whisking eggs in a bowl.. It's all a bit OTT!

Feels like they thought people were getting bored so have 'refreshed' the format, but it doesn't work.

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

Especially in the nose?! He absolutely could have killed that guy, assuming he was being truthful. I wonder if he will be staying the entire season. I think he is probably the most likely to be fired based on what we have seen so far.

Apparently he hasn't posted about the show on insta which generally means being fired. I hope it is soon.

 

[0121doone]

I wish they still did reunions for below deck

me too! I feel they're really needed. there always seems to be so much unsaid.

 

[raindropsroses]

Sandy is great when she doesn’t micromanage, but she trusts Aesha so I don’t think that will happen to interior this season. Aesha looks beautiful with short hair.
