Below Deck #5 ⚓️

[disneys]

I get it Jenna , I’d definitely be tempted by Ben myself probably because aside from Jason he’s probably the only one age appropriate for me these days !!

Joao though … my god man ! You made a right old hash of that didn’t you ! How hard is it to say “you’re a great girl but I think we’d be better as friends” … ! He 100% just wanted that cake

I still hate Mike . What a shit stirring wet wipe

 

[raindropsroses]

Kat trying to hide her laugh at Luke's "profound" goodbye speech was very relatable.

 

[Restless Native]

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

 

[Louanne]

So, for me this weeks' episode has confirmed the following:
Mike is equal parts deluded and lazy
Alesia is messy as fuck and takes zero responsibility
Joao is right and Daisy needs to adapt her management style to get the best out of the employees
The real Ellie is coming out ...

 

[Restless Native]

Kizzi is such a pick me. Desperate for male attention and jealous of Cathy.

She never even looked at Max until Cathy said she was interested. You just know her and Joe will shag and he will break Vs heart.

 

[raindropsroses]

I do find it really gross that Ben is about 45 (?) and carrying on with Jenna who is what, 22? I know she's an adult and whatever but it just icks me out.

 

[Ticktickmeh]

If Jason lets him get away with this considering he demoted Jenna for a personal situation, he's totally inept.

I think his wedding was called off because he found out she was sleeping with one of his friends?

ETA: Yes, he gave an interview where he confirmed he had found out she'd been sleeping with one his mates for long time.

The only reason I think Jason wont do anything him is cause they wont be able to get another chef intime for the charter and they need the chef, "sous" chef assistant Ellie wouldn'tbe able to cop.

But agree Jason needs to hold him to account.

Not a fan of Jason this season. It feels like the fame has got to his head.

Miss Captain Lee,

 

[Restless Native]

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.

His outburst after the attack on Bondi beach put me off him.

 

[Offish]

The problem is when Ben tries to guide her or give advice she starts crying.
Has anyone watched the After Show? She's on there saying he's criticising her every move and he isn't.

Exactly!! Ben is actually being so reasonable given how utterly useless she is and how fucking appalling her attitude is. If I had her lumping around the kitchen, pulling faces at me and bitching back at me when I was ultimately trying to help I’d lose my shit. She just wanted to waltz in, look lovely, flirt a bit and get paid, nothing about her screams passionate about cooking.
Her mum is vile but that’s no excuse. Shes a grown arse woman at this stage. That being said, it was pretty sad seeing her trying to confide in someone who simply doesn’t a. care or b. have her best interests at heart.
also I can’t believe I was hoodwinked into watching two episodes of real housewives of anywhere… watching gross, bored, spoiled, rich women scream relentlessly at each other
isn’t my idea of fun. Imagine having all that money and all those opportunities and using your time screeching about ?? Literally anything

 

[SkinnerBells]

He’s 35!!! 35! I’m not defending Gen but she’s 23 and has the emotional maturity of a dead fish, but she’s soooo young compared to him. I’m disappointed yet again in another disappointing choice made by another disappointing man.

 

[Offish]

I would happily never EVER lay eyes on fucking Joe ever again. I hate that prick. So annoying!!

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

The other guys getting some action while Joe slurped noodles was gold.

 

[disneys]

Ellie is a crazy shit stirrer !!!!

the edited together clips of her going on and on about Joao and Daisy was so funny , Ben’s face

 

[raindropsroses]

She makes my skin crawl. One of those girls who isn’t just not a girls girl but literally an anti-girls girl. She sees any and all other women as direct competitors and it’s gross. Can’t believe some dopey cunt has actually asked her to marry him, especially if it’s the same Tom as she ditched on the show so as to spread her legs wings unencumbered!

This one sided rivalry with Kathy is just ridiculous. Kathy has literally done nothing to her. Also, the multiple people all making out in the car was a lot. Poor Aesha being stuck in the middle of that.

I’m liking Kathy. She did a great job articulating her boundaries to Max, who does strike me as a bit pushy.

 

[cowtastrophe]

I thought Ben’s attitude at the HoD meal was awful. So disrespectful and blatantly lying about shooing Daisy away in the galley.

 

[barrrlohflaughs]

Wow Alesia is awful. I’m not surprised Jenna was pissed off when she came over and took Eddy to dance and then was telling him it wouldn’t work between him and Jenna I was getting annoyed! Not a fan of Ellie but did like her calling Alesia out the next day…even if it was to the wrong thing lol

I felt so uncomfortable watching Ellie get into bed with Joao. It seemed so desperate.

 

[squacksquack]

That was absolutely feral behaviour. I don’t even like Nathan and I’m outraged on his behalf. Imagine being that shameless - doing that to your boss is bad enough but also on camera?!

 

[raindropsroses]

Gen is a dick, Joe and Nathan are both dicks, Kayley is a lot but seems nice enough. The chef seems to be very good at her job, I thought it was good that Aesha checked in with her after service and they both seemed happy. I wouldn't want to cross Chef Joy, but I would love to see her have a go at someone.

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

Are we placing bets on which episode she puts the Playboy bunny outfit on?

 

[Restless Native]

So did Sandy just think Luke went for a chug in Nathans bed alone? Cos surely Gen should have been punished too
