Below Deck #5 ⚓️

[SkinnerBells]

Really interesting interview with Joao about some of the background to Below Deck recruitment and filming here (apologies for the ridic ad pop-ups when first opening):

The Below Deck star who loves Mallorca

He owns a home deep in the Calvia countryside. "I first came to Palma in 2019 for a course – Efficient Deck Hand with Bluewater - and fell in love with the multicultural vibe"

I couldn’t! I think he’s a swarmy rude prat

AGREED!!!!! Hes so creepy

 

[Pesky Tarian]

I know Tzarina can be a lot but I'd rather have her as a friend than Lara. When Bri was upset but then said I've got to put my emotions to one side and be buoyant for Lara (or words to that effect) that's not a friendship .

Also did anyone else feel the call with Tzarina and her mum was a bit odd? She was visibly upset and her mum was just saying hmm, offering no real comfort. Could be the edit but felt really emotionally disconnected.

 

[BeachBaby]

Whilst I agree Eddie seems a bit odd, what Jenna did was very mean. It's like Barbie turned up and she wanted to prove she was the big dog that all the guys fawned over. Fair play for Eddie sharing that text from her to Ben.

I don't think she should have been demoted though, this was nothing compared to some seasons.

I agree. When she dumped him, he was trying to create space between them and stay away from her. Then she would reel him back in again. I think she wanted him to still be flirting with her, even tho she told him it was over.

 

[Maid22]

Same!!!! She’s so up her own arse

Her dreaming about Jason, really??

 

[rainymorningreading]

It’s obvious that the Bosun gets fired!

Rainbeau said on WWHL that the french chef didn’t know him well as they only met once and then never again or something along those lines.

Not that this is a spoiler we can all see it heading in that direction.

The firing of the bosun storyline is getting old bravo.

I wish they’d bring Eddie back

 

[JodieGreen123]

Can’t stand Nathan or the French dude, but other than that a promising start to the season and a breath of fresh air after the one we’ve just suffered through!

 

[givemethenight]

She’s got new teeth and lip filler. The lip filler would actually look ok if it wasn’t for the teeth as well as it’s quite subtle on its own.

No idea why she got new teeth as her natural ones were lovely! X

 

[cowtastrophe]

I'm watching season 8 of Med at the moment just because.

Natalya is AWFUL. And the bosun who lied about his credentials but somehow still got through selection to the job then was only found out by the port authorities! Someone didn't do their due diligence. I usually like Captain Sandy but she needs to knock some heads together Captain Lee style on this charter.

 

[VeeJayBee]

I think he's creepy.

All that What-am-I-like-I-can't-help-myself, when creeping on whichever lass is nearest.

 

[SkinnerBells]

Why does he neglect to populate his bloody eyebrows though???) they’re so overwaxed

 

[VeeJayBee]

I'd forgotten that Hannah Ferrier was on Traitors Australia a while back, she was pretty good in it and liked the series.

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

What's with the preview of the next guests in their home?

 

[soapybubbles]

Exactly that, more like love island etc than ever before

 

[Pirate Jenny]

Hello, I am new around here but not to reality tv. I was a Hayu junkie and watched them all, even the one about Camp Chukaupa and the one long advert for the ski lodge in Aspen. Then I went cold turkey, for reasons. I recently, again reasons, came back to Hayu and have binge watched three years of Below Deck. I am saving the current series until it is all there to binge so am dipping out of this thread until then ( currently on page 4). In the meantime I wanted something else to watch , no way was I going back to the Housewives but always had a soft spot for Southern Charm and Married to Medicine so re visited them. I could only stand a couple of episodes of each and something about them just made my teeth itch. I finally worked out what it was, they don’t do anything! They just drink and argue.
Below Deck is real people doing real jobs and I love that. I love watching the crew work, particularly the deckies and could watch them docking , leaving port and sailing all day even the uneventful dockings. Also it made me realise that Gary is really good at his job, when he picked up straight away that that boat was heading towards them and reacted immediately was impressive. That’s all for now.
As you were Tattlers

 

[raindropsroses]

The deck crew are almost entirely incompetent, and there’s something scary about how easily Christian recalled that story of him knocking a guy out as if it’s not a big deal.

 

[Louanne]

I feel like captain Kerry has always had the potential to be a dick, I can’t remember any specific examples right now but I know he’s made little comments here and there and I know I’ve raised an eyebrow, just a touch

Yeah, not sure I've ever really liked him.
He's one of those people that has always given weird vibes to me.

 

[Louanne]

I’m catching up… can’t be the only one shipping Jenna & Ben?🫠

I'm here for them over Jeddy - dull as dishwater!

 

[givemethenight]

It’s really dull. Solene is very irritating and clearly just on there to become an influencer/reality star/z list celebrity.
