I've almost finished watching, I agree. As much as ok not a fan of these guests, rushing through the charter is a joke.

No idea what happened there, should clearly say "I'm not a fan". Anyway ...

Yes, all too rushed. No conclusion of the Ellie promotion issue with Ben, no personal tie-ups of the throuple situation with Jenna/Ben/Eddie, no reflection on the fact that Jason has totally lost his edge as a captain, and most disappointingly, no acknowledgment that Betül is the true MVP of this crew; unproblematic, hard-working, funny. Hope she returns for another BD season.

I feel like everyone (except Betül) this season had at least one moment where they came across terribly.

It was a crap rushed episode to end on.

I saw Daisy said on insta her and Joao went nowhere after it ended, he got back with his gf quite quickly.

I think they expected them to be terrible guests so rushed through their charter condensing it into one episode. Unfair really when the rho had like 3 episodes! All felt very unfinished, and the loose ends and little chats before it finished just didn't happen.

There was two seasons of The Traitors Australia and then it was scrapped. Apparently the ratings were low. The first New Zealand one was quite a while ago. Both seem a bit cheap and flat compared to UK, US and Ireland mainly because there is no castle. The second series of the Australian one had one of the biggest twists ever (in my opinion) Worth watching for that alone.

Ok just binged this season of BDDU.It was all a bit flat wasn’t it? I think a lot of it was to do with the location. Canouan looked beautiful but it was very isolated and not much going on. They never went anywhere else just anchored, had a couple of goes down the slide and went back. Even the dockings were uneventful. There was also not enough emphasis on the food for me. I like to see it prepped and served and the guests enjoying it, or not. I believe that really rich people do not go on Below Deck. They are all wannabes or living off someone else’s dime, how they scrape together the tip is beyond me. I don’t know if real yachting seasons are as short as the Below Deck ones but you think for six weeks you could grit your teeth, keep it in your pants and think of the money.
Roll on Below Deck Med. See you all in about six months.😀

I agree they showed nothing but the boat really. They scuba dived, but hardly any footage of it. The food was mediocre, Ben is past it and there are way more exciting chefs from previous seasons that would have done a better job.

I think they concentrated too much on the department heads and how amazing they were going to be, being 'fan faves'. I feel like down under may not be renewed after this, especially if they aren't even going to be 'down under' just an og BD 2.0 lol.

I didn't enjoy this season of BDDU as much either. It felt like nothing much happened and the ending was weirdly rushed. Increasingly, it feels like the crew are just a bunch of OnlyFans models or influencers recruited for drama.

I was annoyed they missed ao much of the last charter, I saw on TT Joao went down the slide after a guest and accidentally collected them in the water, wish they showed that. He also apparently came out of a cake.

Too much drama with crew hook ups, repeated segments.

And they dont bother with reunions anymore the way they ended the season gave no real closure.

Production lately have been doing a terrible job across all three franchises (Solene, Mike, Joe) we dont want them, yes we like drama, we love the guests v crew drama, we do like the hook ups but not when someone is kissing everyone in the boat or who just signs up to BD to increase their Socials and who've been on other reality shows. We dont care if your green, but we do care if you only are on BD to boost your followers. There are plenty of other shows dor that. We hated the Instagram style feed one of the franchisees had and we didn't like the pre charter interviews in their homes with the guests.

Please bring back the old school below deck format. And if the cast can make it to watch what happens live, they can also make it to a reunion

Omg the previous og BD season did the Instagram reels, looked so tacky! And the pre charter interviews they did this season were sooo cringe. I miss the old format so much, it's just turned into every other reality show where they only hire Instagram famous idiots who want their 5 mins of fame!
