Im new ish to below deck. How does ben have a job?...he is hard to work with and always late. Does jason like him?
They’re all pretty temperamental in their own ways (below deck across the franchises have had some corkers!) and I wouldn’t say he’s that bad on the scale. He’s also a good chef, it’s rare people say anything other than very good things about his food. Plus I think chefs are probably given more leeway because no one else on that boat can do what they do and the hours are the worst.

Also about the chefs down under last season and this season are the only times in all the franchises to have “sous” chefs so the chefs normally just fight with the chief stew kinda feel like they did it to bring more drama because they know chefs on boats are rouge already so just run with it

Ellie losing her tit a second time. I can’t help thinking that another captain would have sacked her for her behaviour.

She's such a witch! Instead of just trying to sort it out with Ben, she goes running to Jason, I think it's about time Jason started to be more tough on them. Pretty obvious though if they can't get on, she'll go, they won't sack chef Ben!! (Can't believe I gave Ellie the benefit of the doubt and thought she had changed🙄) It's probably put on mind for the 'drama' it's abit of a meh season imo.

Jason is great in lots of ways, he’s a team player, he tries to play to and encourage peoples strengths plus he’s nice to look at of course but he’s poor when it comes to ‘making a stand’ so to speak with poor behaviour, he doesn’t seem to have hard lines with very much. Worse, dare I say it, with attractive women (alesia…)

I felt bad for Ben. Ellie’s got a terrible temper & she’s a bully. And that boy and his bothersome hair - Mike is so annoying!

Yes to all of this!
Ellie is nuts! Or she certainly comes across that way when expressing herself, and it’s definitely not just the language barrier.
I’m gonna say it; I like Ben!
He’s a pompous plonker at times, but I like him.
He’s got character.
Mike is useless! And Jason needs a backbone.

Seconded.
It's very always had a soft-spot for Ben. He's just very British, middle-class, posh boy, and he thinks he's Peter Pan.
I think the struggles he's had so far this season are due to the personal problems he's had prior to the season.

Ellie is vile and way above her station.

Mike is lazy. And a bleep.

Still not keen on Alecia.

Jason is losing his touch. He's needs to step up on the management front.

Can't believe I'm actually liking Joao! 🙈

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

I really can't make his hair out, is it combed forward? It's a bloody strange style and looks 💩

I always thought he was hot but now he’s nice and good at his job and generally seems like a good guy too? How unreasonably attractive

If you watch the aftershow he gives a full on description of how his style has evolved and how he gets that err ... look! 🙈
