Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 trailer

There are some rough seas coming up in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. Here's a look at what you can expect in the sneak peek below:

Reality TV fans are already familiar with Below Deck, the Bravo franchise that follows those who work about luxury yachts as well as the demanding clients they have to cater to each charter. Now Lifetime diehards can wade into that world with the network's newest thriller Murder Below Deck, a TV movie premiering tonight on the channel. 

Actress Harley Bronwyn (Bring Him To Me, Scream Therapy) stars as Lauren, a woman who gives up the corporate life and a cheating boyfriend to join her best friend from college working aboard a luxury yacht in the South Pacific. The official movie synopsis reads: "As her first voyage sets sail, she falls for handsome entrepreneur Mark but things take a dark turn when he’s revealed to be already engaged and his fiancée mysteriously disappears while the yacht is at sea."

Directed by Brian L Tan, the 90-minute mystery also sees actors Alex Trumble, Nadine Alexandra, Quisha Saunders, Joseph J.U. Taylor, Robin Mazer, Oliver Pras and Caroline Zachrie joining Bronwyn in the cast.

Murder Below Deck premieres on Sunday, September 8 at 8pm Eastern Time on Lifetime. Those with cable packages can watch on their local Lifetime channel, but even if you don't have traditional cable, cord-cutters can also tune in online with a live TV streaming service that carries Lifetime, such as Frndly TV, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and Philo TV. And if you miss the television broadcast tonight, Murder Below Deck will also be available to stream on MyLifetime.com beginning on Monday, September 9. 

You can also tune into other recent Lifetime titles via streaming on MyLifetime.com as well as the Lifetime app, including the mystery flick Twisted Neighbor, the romance drama Tempted by Love (led by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais), or the gut-wrenching adoption tale The Daughter I Gave Away.

Some crew members aren’t getting along while others are hooking up in Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 6, “Running Aft-er Time.” This includes the continuing drama with Ellie and Bri butting heads — initially over Joe, but it had spilled over into work. 

Stew vs stew

Bri felt Ellie was having a power trip over her position and used it to belittle her. Ellie didn't appreciate the accusation and chalked it up to Bri playing the victim. But Bri thought it all came back to the fact that she hooked up with Joe and Ellie liked him.

Ellie talked to Joe in the crew mess about Bri, and Joe joked he had to put a mattress on the floor since Bri kept crashing in his room. "She's just creating drama for no reason. She's just going out of her way to be like, 'oh, I'm a victim.' Nobody has done anything to you. Shut the f**k up, get to work, get to your bed. It has nothing to do with me," Ellie said and walked away.

Ellie then went to Aesha to tell her how Bri had said she was belittling her, something Ellie had denied doing when Aesha had asked. "I know it's hard, but you both need to just get on with it, and we can sort it after the charter," Aesha said.

Aesha then discussed the issues with Bri to discuss, and asked why she was sleeping in the boys' cabin. After stammering her way through an explanation, Aesha asked that Bri doesn't do that anymore, as she could impact their routine while they're on charter. Bri agreed and slept in her own cabin that night. She also aimed to stay out of the drama and away from Joe for the time being.

Ellie felt Bri was making her look like the bad guy. When Ellie didn't pull plates and cutlery for dinner in a timely matter, Aesha wasn't happy about it and felt that maybe Ellie acted like she was more capable than she actually was.

"Time has definitely gotten away from me, but at the same time, Bri is just literally getting away with murder, and I'm out here getting put on a cross for like the smallest mistake. It's bulls**t," Ellie said in a confessional.

Jono on the rocks

Chef "Jono" knew he had to nail his dishes moving forward, as he had received one too many complaints from guests. Luckily, he nailed the lobster benedicts at breakfast, but dinner was a whole other game.

The first dish of the night was a crispy calamari, which the guests thoroughly enjoyed. The main course was a sea bass dish, and they loved that, too. "Johnathan's presentation this charter versus last charter is like night and day," Captain Sandy said in a confessional. "So I'm relieved I have a backup chef, however, I'm impressed."

Deck crew needs help

Bosun Iain hadn't been doing the greatest job leading his team: lack of direction, not taking initiative, etc. On the final day of the charter, Deckhand Nathan found the windlass, an essential piece of gear that works with the anchor on a boat, was making a strange sound and wasn't working. After discussions with the crew, Captain Sandy decided to use the other windlass on the boat to work with the broken one. Another problem arose when the second officer discovered the tender, a smaller boat the crew uses, was left on and the battery was out of juice. "This is the worst possible time for a mistake like this," Captain Sandy said in a confessional.

Captain Sandy approached the deck team to see who had left the battery on all night. Although Iain was asleep on his break, Captain Sandy asked Joe to wake him up. When he reached the bridge, Iain told her he was the last one in the tender.

This was the charter guests' last day, and they had flights that afternoon. With 25 minutes already delayed due to these issues, the pressure was on. And to make matters worse, the line used to assist the broken windlass suddenly snapped.

New episodes of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 premiere Monday on Bravo and then are available to stream the next day on Peacock.

In Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 5, "Caught Between a Dock and a Heart Place," the love triangle between Bri, Ellie and Joe plays out and Chef Jono's standing on Yacht Mustique isn't looking good. Let's break down what happened.

Joe makes out with a stew

Episode 4 ended with Bri and Joe getting flirty and sexual at the post-dinner drinks and dancing. However, Joe had also been dancing and flirting with Ellie — and both women were into him.

Back at the boat, the crew made plans to go in the jacuzzi. Bri and Ellie, who share a room, were getting ready, but Ellie decided to skip the jacuzzi. "I don't want to do something I'll regret, you know, just getting caught in the flow of the moment," Ellie said, adding that Joe needs to take her out to dinner and treat her like a lady.

Bri and Joe continued getting close in the jacuzzi with most of their other crewmates there. Everyone saw how intense they were staring at one another and decided to exit so they could be alone. "I bet their clothes are off before my pajamas are on," Aesha said as she walked away. She wasn't wrong, because shortly after that the two started making out in the jacuzzi and Bri's bikini top came off. After that, the two went to their own cabins.

Meanwhile, things are also complicated with Nathan and Gael. The two have already gone beyond flirty this season, but Gael does still have boyfriend. Over text he expressed how he was hurt that he couldn't talk to her and needed more from Gael to feel secure. Based on her texts to him, Gael tried to be supportive and apologized.

However, in a confessional, Gael had some other thoughts. "I know I should be putting my relationship first. I just want him to have my back and support me. His actions are slowly just pushing me away, and it's definitely making me realize Nathan's just there for me. Like I've really beat myself up over this quite a bit," she said.

The day after 

The next morning, Bri told Ellie about her and Joe. Ellie asked her if they had sex but Bri wasn't saying any more about it. "I do feel a little bit snaked by Bri," Ellie said in a confessional.

In the crew mess. Joe said good morning to Ellie, but she just hit him with an "uh-huh." In his confessional, Joe said there wasn't any tension on his end. He also said he would kiss Bri again and he would 100% kiss Ellie.

After preparing the boat for the next charter, Bri approached Ellie. "Is everything OK between us?" she asked. "Uhm, not 100%," Ellie replied. She thought she made it clear she was interested in Joe, and yet Bri kissed him even after Ellie took it upon herself to help her when as she was struggling as a stew. "[A]fter all of that, you give zero f**ks about me. You know, it's like breaking girl code over a random f***ing guy. So that's what I'm upset about," Ellie said. 

"If I knew that it would hurt you, I would never have done it," Bri said. Ellie thought it was a snakey move, a sentiment Bri didn't find fair. Ellie wasn't going to use her position to make things uncomfortable at work, but this situation had changed their relationship.

Bri went to Joe's cabin to tell him she thought she ruined her friendship with Ellie. "I'm just, I'm feeling sh**ty," she said. "Was she like, interested? Or…?" Joe asked, and Bri nodded. In a confessional, Joe acknowledged how Bri and Ellie were in the same department and how he could impact the dynamics.

Bri decided to sleep in the crew mess that night, but Joe told invited her into their cabin, making a makeshift bed for Bri on the floor.

Captain Sandy overhears "spicy" comment 

Three hours before the charter guests arrived, Aesha went to the hospital, as she believed her previously cut hand was getting an infection. As the second stew, Ellie headed up the interior team in her place. As provisions came aboard, Bri told the deck team where to place things, which Ellie viewed as overriding her.

Tensions continued in the laundry room. Ellie asked Bri to go through Jono's crate of citrus and throw out the rotten pieces. "That's, like, not a priority for me right now," Bri said, noting Aesha told her to stay in the laundry and get everything cleared. "The fact that Bri is feeling this empowered to speak this way to me is kind of shocking. Her job, which she doesn't understand, is to support me," Ellie said.

Ellie went to the galley to clear the citrus herself and vented to Jono about Bri and how she was speaking to her. "Oh, it's kinda hot in here," Jono said. Bri then entered the galley, where Jono informed her Ellie took care of the citrus and how it was "a whole thing." 

"There's just so much unnecessary drama happening. Like it doesn't need to be like this," Bri said. "I'm just going to be like, 'I hope you have a good day, b***h.' Cause I'm gonna be spicy like that." 

What Bri didn’t know, however, was both Ellie and Captain Sandy were nearby and overheard her. "Passively aggressively spicy? What does that mean?" Captain Sandy asked. "It means that I'm gonna be angry but kept-in angry but still do the right thing," Bri replied, breaking down into tears about the "unnecessary drama" affecting her. Captain Sandy then gave her some kind words.

Aesha returned to the yacht with stitches in her thumb before the guests' arrival. Catching up on the situation, Bri told Aesha she thought Ellie was power-tripping. Aesha offered to speak to Ellie about it, but Bri said she would rather handle it.

Thirty minutes before the guests were to arrive, Bri asked to talk with Ellie. Ellie felt Bri was telling her, who had a higher position on the boat, what to do. Bri said she wasn't and felt Ellie was having a power trip. Just then, Aesha radioed Ellie for something, so they quickly wrapped up their conversation. "I don't need to be on a power trip, darling," Ellie said, noting that Bri was playing the victim.

As they were getting the champagne, Ellie gave Aesha her side of the situation. They agreed to talk more about it once the charter was over.

Good lunch, bad steak

The day before, Captain Sandy had heard from the yacht placement company there was a "highly recommended chef" available in two days, so Jono had a lot to prove on this charter. It started off well with the first lunch, as the new guests loved his sushi, tuna tartar and cold Asian noodles.

But that evening's dinner was much more important. Steak and Beluga caviar were on the menu, as requested by the primary charter guest, Brianna. However, as the guests cut into their steaks, not all of them were happy. Brianna called it dry and said it wasn't good. The guests did love the dessert, though.

Ellie told Captain Sandy the primary wasn't happy with her steak, so she followed up with the yacht crew placement company to ensure the chef was still available.

New episodes of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 premiere Monday on Bravo and then are available to stream the next day on Peacock. 

Last week's episode of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9  ended with an unhappy guest, Gigi, complaining about Chef Jono's food not meeting her expectations, and she had taken her complaints to Captain Sandy Yawn. The issue was addressed in Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 4, called "Greeking Havoc."

A talk with the chef

Captain Sandy called Jono up to the bridge, where she explained Gigi's concerns. Addressing the cold eggs at breakfast, Jono said the guests were scheduled to eat at 8:30 am, so he had the eggs ready at that time, but the guests were delayed. However, Captain Sandy said eggs are made-to-order, meaning they shouldn't be cooked until the guest is ready.

"For a chef to say to me that he cooked the eggs when breakfast was supposed to start instead of cooking to order is a huge red flag," Captain Sandy said in a confessional. "But at the same time, he did well last charter. We're mid-charter now. I have to give the chef the opportunity to show me that he can do this, finish this one strong and then I will assess the next charter."

Lackluster beach picnic

The charter guests requested a beach picnic, so Jono made lunch for the stews to serve while the deck team was tasked with games. After talking with Captain Sandy, Bosun Iain was under the impression that Gigi, the primary charter guest, would tell them what she wanted for activities. Still, Chief Stew Aesha suggested having a couple of games ready to go. Deckhand Gael, who was going to be at the beach with the guests, asked Iain about what they needed, but he brushed it off. "Um… the primary will tell us," he said. "OK, I just didn't want to be underprepared," Gael replied.

Gael and Lead Deckhand Joe made their way to the beach but had to walk quite a bit with all the supplies to reach the designated spot. Both of them were frustrated with the lack of leadership from Iain, noting he could've helped carry the stuff over while Deckhand Nathan waited onboard. Meanwhile, the guests were eager to get to the beach setup.

To make matters worse, Iain brought the guests over to the beach without communicating with Gael and Joe — who weren't ready with the setup yet. They also had to set up the games, but there were minimal supplies. The games ended up being volleyball, ring toss and long jump. "Iain f***ed here, ey?" Joe said to Gael, to which she agreed.

On the plus side, Gigi and the rest of the guests loved the beach picnic food that Jono prepared.

Jono cooks for the captain

Still, there was even more pressure on Jono to cook an amazing dinner because Captain Sandy was joining the guests, as they're friends off the boat. The meal started with gazpacho and when asked about the recipe, Jono said it was his first time making it and it was "someone's grandma's recipe or something." Not the greatest way to present his food.

When the entrée came out, Gigi tasted a spice in her seafood pasta that she didn't care for, the same one she noticed used in the lunch on the first day, so she wasn't thrilled. For dessert, Jono quickly realized the personal-sized lava cakes he prepared were overbaked. Coupled with the fact the accompanying coffee ice cream was melted on the plates, the guests didn't seem to love it.

"This is a superyacht. The food shouldn't just be OK; it should be excellent. Jono is 0 for 2 now," Captain Sandy said in a confessional.

The next morning, the guests packed their things to leave the boat. Gigi presented her tip and noted, "The food was OK. It was hit or miss. Some things were good, some things missed the mark. So this [the tip] represents a little bit of that."

After the tip meeting, Captain Sandy called Jono to the bridge again, where she talked about his cooking choices during the charter. She went over what he could have done better so he could take it with him on the next charter. However, she wanted to prepare should this trend of subpar food continue. Captain Sandy texted the yacht crew placement company to ask if any chefs were on standby.

Two stews, one deckhand 

Joe is a hot commodity on the yacht, as both Second Stew Ellie and Third Stew Bri have their eyes on him. At the crew dinner, they both got flirty with him — and he reciprocated with both of them.

"I'm not jealous of Bri flirting with Joe. But she knows I'm attracted to him; I've said it to her multiple times," Ellie said in a confessional. "We're roommates, and as a general rule working on a boat, you never want to go for the guy your supervisor is interested in." 

Bri wasn't pleased with Ellie's flirting either. "I'm just annoyed because I want him," Bri said to Jono at dinner.

After dinner, the crew went out for more drinks and dancing. Ellie and Joe danced very closely. "I'm going for Joe. It's gonna be Joe and I. We're getting it on. Not tonight, but pretty soon," Ellie said in a confessional.

Bri and Gael went to the bathroom, where Bri said she would like to hook up with Joe. They headed back to the group, and Bri sat with Joe. He asked her who she was gravitating toward, and she said she was still feeling it out. In a more crude way, Joe asked Bri if she would hook up with Nathan, to which she said she would do so with Joe.

We'll see how this love triangle plays out next week.

Last week, the Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 crew celebrated the completion of their first charter of the season—and things got flirty, as seen in episode 2. The third episode, "Drifting Standards," welcomed a former guest who’s also an Olympian and a friend of Captain Sandy Yawn, so the bar was high for the tired, aka hungover, crew.

Paddleboarding gone wrong

Deckhand Nathan Gallagher and a charter guest, Laura, took paddleboards out in the water, but the sea worked against them. "We’re trying to row back to the yacht. We’re actually going backward because the current is that strong," Nathan said in a confessional. They were 300 meters away from Mustique, the yacht. The crew and other guests couldn’t see them; that’s how far out they were.

After 45 minutes of being stranded, suddenly, a catamaran pulled up to the yacht carrying Nathan and Laura, having been rescued from the water. Captain Sandy was informed about the situation and wasn’t happy. "This is embarrassing," she said to Lead Deckhand Joe Bradley. Although Joe took accountability for the incident, Captain Sandy said it ultimately landed on Bosun Iain Maclean.

Iain apologized to the primary charter guest, Gigi, however, he wasn’t taking total accountability with his team. While the guests were in the water, he sent Deckhand Gael Cameron down for a break, so he knew exactly who was on deck and how many eyes were on the guests. Instead of all three deckhands being there, Iain made it so there were only two — and one was in the water with Laura.

Preventing a late-night snack fiasco

On the first charter, a major issue occurred when the guests requested late-night snacks, but Chef Johnathan "Jono" Shillingford refused to get up from his sleep to make them. Elena "Ellie" Dubaich had to scramble to make drinks and bites, and she was upset that Captain Sandy didn’t have her back about the situation.

To avoid it happening again, Jono said he would make snacks in advance that Ellie could heat up if needed. "I’ll still prep anyway because I don’t want you to be in that situation again," he said. "And I am sorry it happened." This was quite a turnaround from Jono’s original attitude about the situation, but he was committed to working as a team and avoiding the problem from arising again. Jono and Ellie agreed to move forward and work together.

Unimpressive meals

The first meal of the charter was lunch, and it didn’t appear that the guests were super impressed, noting an offputting flavor in the rice. "It’s not Rachel good, but it’s good," one guest said, referring to Rachel Hargrove, who was the Below Deck Mediterranean chef two seasons ago.

These guests, who had appeared on a previous episode, were used to fantastic food and many courses. For dinner, the crew started off with a "wow" with synchronized service, where each person placed a plate in front of a guest at the same time. However, the guests were less than thrilled with the chicken dish, describing it as "pretty decent." In her confessional, Captain Sandy expressed that chicken isn’t typically something served on a superyacht.

When it was time for dessert, Chief Stew Aesha Scott wasn’t into the idea of deconstructed chocolate sponge cake with raspberry sorbet on top. "Sponge cake is the most boring out of all the cakes," she said in a confessional. "This is like poop on a platter. You made me serve chicken, and then I’ve got to give them sponge cake. Like I’m going to be the face of all of this shi*t."

The guests weren’t happy with the dessert, either. They called the flavor "unusual" and noted that it could be more chocolatey.

The following morning, Jono made huevos rancheros for breakfast. They requested the meal at 8:30 a.m., however, the first guest didn’t come up until nearly 9:30 a.m. when the food had long been made. By the time everyone was ready to sit down for breakfast, the eggs had been sitting for nearly an hour and a half. Jono didn’t warm them up before sending them to the guests — although what he should have done was wait until the guests were ready to eat to start cooking the eggs — and they complained that they were "completely cold." Aesha asked him to remake them for the primary charter guest, Gigi.

Gigi went to Captain Sandy to fill her in on the cold eggs. She also complained about the previous night’s dinner. "Chef’s choice, and this is what you give us?" Gigi said, referring to the chicken. She noted the issue with the dessert and lunch not being great.

"I know Gigi. She wouldn’t complain just to complain," Captain Sandy said in a confessional. The episode ended with Captain Sandy calling Jono to the bridge.

The Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 crew is having a rough first charter. The episode ended with Chef Johnathan "Jono" Shillingford refusing to help the second stew, Elena "Ellie" Dubaich, cook late-night food for the guests. The rocky seas continued in the second episode, "Sneak, Sip, and Sink."

Guests in the kitchen

The charter guests were tired of waiting for their beverages and food, so some of them hopped behind the bar to tend to the drinks. "It's nicer service than the actual crew," one of the guests said. Then, some guests headed to the galley to "help" move the process along. One of the deckhands, Gael Cameron, helped Ellie cook seven grilled cheeses and that was good enough, although the guests had requested multiple other items. Finally, at 2:50 am, the guests went to sleep. Ellie, on the other hand, didn't get to put her head down until everything was cleaned up and put away, which turned out to be after 6 am.

In the morning, Jono didn't have any regrets about not fulfilling his chef duties. "Last night, I am happy that I did not betray myself," Jono said in a confessional. "Standing up for myself, it's always been an issue for me, particularly growing up in the closet. So, I have to stick with myself, and I’m proud of that. I gotta do me!"

Chief Stew Aesha Scott caught up with Jono in the galley and he filled her in on the evening. "Did you hear what happened? They tried to wake me up," Jono said, explaining how Ellie came into his room. "To be fair, that's the only [thing] they wanted, late-night snacks," Aesha said. "Okay?" Jono replied. Production flashed back to a couple of days earlier when the lead of each department met to discuss the upcoming charter. In reference to the late-night snacks request on the preference sheet, Aesha said, "I've got chips and dips." Jono added, "If there's any, like, quick snacks, obviously I'll take care of it."

Captain Sandy backs Jono

Captain Sandy Yawn called Jono to the bridge. "So I heard last night that someone tried to wake you up," Captain Sandy said, noting she was going to address it in the all-crew meeting after the charter. "When you go to bed, you're down," she continued, suggesting that in the future he make paninis and put them in the fridge in case guests wanted late-night bites. Jono said he couldn't go back to sleep after he was awoken because he "had so much anxiety."

The charter ended and the crew said their goodbyes to the guests. At the tip meeting, Captain Sandy brought up the late-night snacks request from the night before. "Never wake the chef," she said. "What you're going to do," she addressed Jono, "is prepare food for the panini maker. And whoever's on nights, make the paninis, don't wake the guy." Ellie jumped in to explain it wasn't just paninis, the guests were asking for various snacks. Captain Sandy cut her off and reiterated her message: don't wake the chef.

After the tip meeting, the crew went back to doing what they had to do. "Just know not to wake me up ever again," Jono said to Ellie, noting he was empathetic to her being in a "crazy situation" and, from then on, he would prepare food ahead of time.

Back in her room with Sabrina "Bri" Muller, Ellie vented her frustrations about feeling a lack of compassion and the focus being on not waking the chef. "What about the fact that I didn’t get any f***ing sleep because I was up for 25 hours to make the guests happy?" Ellie said.

First crew night out 

To celebrate completing the first charter of the season, the crew dressed up in their off-the-boat best and headed out for a night of dinner, drinks and dancing. Deckhands Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher had been innocently flirting (though Gael has a boyfriend on another boat), but things intensified on the first night out. "Gael? Holy f***ing s**t. She's attractive. She has a boyfriend. But I hold no loyalty to anyone," Nathan said in a confessional.

At dinner, lead deckhand Joe Bradley was charming both Ellie and Bri. "He knows exactly what to say, what to do, how to look," Bri said in a confessional.

After dinner — and what appeared to be many rounds of drinks later — the crew hit the dance floor. Both Bri and Joe and Gael and Nathan were dancing with one another. On the sidelines, Ellie expressed to Aesha that Joe was her type. Aesha encouraged her to go for it, even though he was dancing with Bri, because "no one's made any claims." Ellie said, "I think I want to play hard to get."

However, when Bri went to use the bathroom, Ellie went to Joe and they danced. Could there be a love triangle ahead?

Back at the boat, the flirting continued. "We need to lose these cameras," Nathan said to Gael. Meanwhile, Bri and Joe shared a snack à la Lady and the Tramp style.

All of the crew members headed to bed — except Gael and Nathan who just wanted the audience to think that. "Where should we meet that has no cameras?" Nathan texted Gael. "The starboard bow locker has no cameras. Let's go there," she replied. "Tell me when you are there and if you get caught," Nathan texted back. We'll have to wait until next week to see what happens from there.

After serving as the chief stew on Below Deck Down Under for two seasons alongside Captain Jason Chambers, Aesha Scott is back on Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 with Captain Sandy Yawn. 

With a mostly new cast, the stews, deckhands and chef must learn to work together. Arrivals in Greece went smoothly enough, but it wasn't long before challenges arose with provisions, laundry and crew dynamics.

Here's our recap of the most important moments from Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 1, "My Big Fat Greek Yacht Emergency."

Missing provisions

Kicking off the charter season was already stressful, as the crew has to get into the groove of working with each other. Plus, there were only about 24 hours to flip the boat and get it in tip-top shape for the guests. To pile onto the long list of things to do, Aesha and Chef Johnathan "Jono" Shillingford weren't getting their provisions, aka the food and drinks, in time. With just an hour left before the first guests would arrive, many of the provisions, including alcohol, were still missing. Aesha found just one bottle of champagne on board, which is typically the beverage served to guests as they board the yacht. So she used that one bottle to fill about eight flutes and prepared for the charter to begin with the boat full of influencers.

Before giving them a tour of the yacht, Aesha told the guests about the provisions issue, which meant certain drinks, including rosé and red wines, weren't available just yet. Eventually, some champagne arrived on the boat to hold them over until the larger provisions order would come, however, the guests were asking specifically for rosé, and it was running dry.

Laundry room blunder

Third stew, Sabrina "Bri" Muller, was put in charge of laundry, including taking care of the guests' clothing as requested. A seemingly simple task turned into another strike for the Below Deck Mediterranean crew. 

A few of the guests asked that their outfits be steamed for that night's dinner. The clock ticked away and suddenly, six hours had passed without the to-do item being completed. Bri wasn't confident doing the laundry and said she wanted to take her time. Aesha had to jump in and quickly perfect the pieces so the guests, who were waiting in their robes, could get dressed.

"This laundry might seem like a molehill, but from my perspective, it's like a mountain," Bri said during a confessional.

Provisions arrive (sort of)

To make the provisions issue worse, the delivery, which was to include the rosé and was supposed to arrive at 7:30 pm, was brought to the wrong place and was slated to be an extra hour and a half late. The big problem with that was that the guests specifically requested surf and turf for dinner, and there wasn't any lobster without that order coming through. Jono did have Alaskan king crab legs, however, so he pivoted his plan to make crab cakes.

Right as the first course was being served, the boat carrying the provisions pulled up. Aesha was eager to get a bottle of red wine open and decanted to go along with the next course. But wouldn't you know it — the boat pulled away and it wasn't until after that the crew discovered that they hadn’t delivered any red or rosé wines. All Aesha could do was continue to apologize to the guests. Luckily, they loved Jono's creations.

Late-night munchies

Around 12:30 am, the guests asked for some snacks as they continued to sip on cocktails and get in the hot tub. Second stew, Elena "Ellie" Dubaich, had the undesirable task of waking up Jono to make grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese and nachos, as per requested. (Stews can typically handle simple snacks, but these guests were asking for a lot of food that required cooking.) Jono wasn't up for it, though, and Ellie had to figure it out in the galley.

As Ellie was attempting to put together some grilled cheeses, she was getting a call over the radio that the guests wanted more drinks. It was becoming overwhelming, so Ellie went back down to the cabins to try to get Jono awake to cook again. "Jono's selfish behavior is making me look bad. What about me?" Ellie said during a confessional.

Ellie explained the situation to Jono, but he wasn't having it. "I'm not doing anything. I haven't slept enough," he told her. "It's turning into a big problem," she replied. "They can have grilled cheese sandwiches. You said you could do that," he said. "I just wanted to give you a chance to reconsider because I don't want this whole experience, for you, to become negative because of this," she said. “B***h, are you stupid? This is not going to be good for you," Jono said during a confessional.

Jono gave her a blatant no, and Ellie went back upstairs. Not the easiest start to the latest season. Let's see how the crew adjusts moving forward.

Bravo plans to keep things in the family when it comes to a replacement for Captain Lee. After all, Captain Lee is known as "the stud of the sea" so those are some big shoes to fill, and that's why Below Deck Adventure's Captain Kerry Titheradge will be at the helm in the new season.

In many ways what has become Bravo’s Avengers-like series, Winter House season 3 once again unites reality stars from throughout the Bravo universe to experience two weeks of vacation and unforgettable hijinks. As expected, traveling with friends, foes and strangers can come with its own unique set of issues, and the network’s cameras were there to capture it all. 

Now in the new season of the show, Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Schwartz helps lead the cast. Before fans get to see how he’s been able to move past the fallout of Scandoval in Vanderpump Rules season 11, they’ll likely get to hear more of his thoughts on the matter in the new Winter House episodes given season 3 was filmed after news broke of the hot-topic affair. This will mark the third reality series Schwartz has starred in this year, as he was also in Stars on Mars season 1. 

So when does Winter House season 3 premiere and who else in the cast? Here’s everything we know about the new episodes.  

When is the next episode of Winter House season 3?

Winter House season 3 is back with a two-hour event wrapping up the season. First, it's the finale episode which will be immediately followed by a reunion special episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

Winter House season 3 cast

Joining Tom Schwartz as a first-time Winter House guest is Jordan Emanuel, who starred in Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard season 1. She certainly wasn’t shy about standing up for herself and what she believed was right in the Summer House spinoff, so it’s safe to assume she’ll carry those vibes with her to Winter House.

• Amanda Batula (Summer House)        
• Kyle Cooke (Summer House)      
• Danielle Olivera (Summer House)

There were high highs and low lows of Bravo's Below Deck Down Under season 2, where Captain Jason Chambers — along with some old and new Below Deck Down Under cast members — returned for another season on the superyacht Northern Sun. In partnership with Invisalign, Captain Jason chatted with What to Watch about the challenges of the second season cruising off the coast of Cairns, Australia.

While Bravo hasn't confirmed if Below Deck Down Under will return for a third season, Captain Jason certainly hopes so. "I need another season, there's more to be done," he said, noting that he'd love to work with Chief Stew Aesha Scott again.

Here's what else we talked about:

What to Watch: How was filming season 2 different from filming your first season?

Captain Jason: Well, the boat was a bit challenging, we saw that, we know that. And the weather was a little bit challenging out there, so we really had to pull out our stunts for entertainment. We had some great people with Harry [Van Vliet] and Culver [Bradbury] coming in, and Adam [Kodra] was fantastic, as well. All the crew were good to some point. We had to make some big changes, as you know, but all in all, I think we tried to get to the point where we produced the best possible outcome for crew and to the industry. 

I think we did that in season 1, I think we got to the end and we had a successful charter and showcased how a crew should perform. And I think we did that in season 2, as well.

WTW: Speaking of those challenges, now that you're able to watch the season play out, do you think that Culver's worth ethic was more or less of an issue than you thought based solely off what João [Franco] was saying to you?

Captain Jason: Well, that topic came up when the Adam topic was right in my head [editor's note: Adam was fired for a mistake that put safety at risk], and then João brought that up. When that was brought up to me, I obviously don't see how Culver's work performance is until I watch the show with you all. But I think at that point I needed to make a change to put some strength in the deck. 

Adam was a great guy, his certification was strong but for a different size boat and for a different position. He's more of a second officer in the bridge, not on deck, so we had to bring someone strong. So that point with João was, well if you want to be a captain, you got to learn to manage. And I did that for Jamie [Sayed] with Ben [Crawley] in season 1. And Jamie also agrees with me now that that was the right decision for him to learn how to manage a personality that he's not getting on well, and it’s helped him understand why I did that. 

And I did that for João, as well. Go manage Culver, get him working, get over the personality, get in there deep, be a leader. And he's a captain now, so I'm sure he would've learned something from that situation. And I know he does. He has, he told me as well. 

WTW: Why did you decide to keep Margot [Sisson] around even though she was drinking on charter?

Captain Jason: Definitely the drinking is an issue, for sure. At that point, Aesha came to me and said she smelled alcohol. I brought Margot up and questioned her to try to see her coherence. It seemed OK and fine, and I asked her, "how much you been drinking?" I think she was putting herself more in the hole. But she said she had been tasting a bit of the wine, had a little bit piña colada, so I actually left it at that. If I took it to the next level, I would have breath tested her and removed her. 

No one caught her drinking. The thing that came to me was not, "I found her drinking." We just smelled alcohol. When you look back at it and you see the show being played out with cameras, there is [sic] moments that [there were] way too many and there was an issue there, which I know she's dealt with. And there's one big thing that was playing in my mind at that point, too, is her mental health as well. I know she went through a huge, big moment of sobriety, so I think she's learned a lot from it, and I know she's that sort of person that will learn from it and not do it again.

WTW: Which romance surprised you the most this season? There were quite a few.

Captain Jason: There was, wasn't it? João and Tzarina [Mace-Ralph] laid it on thick, weren't they? That was a nice, big courtship for a long time and then fizzled out at the end. He put in a lot of work for that. I don't think he'll put in that much work next time. 

WTW: Can you tell me about your Invisalign journey? 

Captain Jason: It was quick, it was easy and it was successful. I'm 50 years old, I did not think that I was going to have this done. I've been thinking about getting braces, but I've been told a few different things about having teeth extracted, about [it taking] two years. And then I ironically bumped into an Invisalign doctor, told her my situation when she told me what Invisaligns really are and she took me to a clinic, put me on a machine and told me I was going to have no teeth extracted and [it would take] six months. And what's the process? We'll give you 30 aligners, you go away, travel the world, do whatever you want to do, which I do, and you've got an app, take photos every week and we’ll tell you where your progress is. And six months later, I've got straight teeth.

Once again, Bravo’s Below Deck Down Under season 2 showed back-to-back episodes for double the fun — and drama. Between rocky weather and specific guest preference sheets, it was a busy couple of charters for the Below Deck Down Under season 2 cast. Yet one crew member in particular stood out, and not in a good way.

After the inappropriate way Luke Jones kissed Margot Sisson last week, he was already not on the fans' good side — and he was in the hot seat again for locking lips with another stew.

Quick recap: Although Margot didn't appreciate how Luke tricked her into a kiss, the two ended things on a good note and agreed there's something between them. However, at dinner, after failed attempts to flirt with Adam Kodra, Laura Bileskalne set her sights on Luke. She sat on his lap and kissed him on the cheek. Meanwhile, Margot and Harry Van Vliet were getting a bit flirty.

After dinner, Luke and Laura seemed to be coupling up while Margot and Harry danced together. "This girl has some, like, crazy twinkle in her eye, and you don't know whether she's going to absolutely love you or just absolutely devour you. I'm a little bit scared of her, to be honest. But Laura's giving me that attention that I'm not getting from Margot," Luke said in his confessional.

Luke and Laura ended up sitting alone at a table and she asked him who he was feeling. "Margot is nice," Laura said. "You don't feel it between us?" he asked. "I feel a little bit," Laura replied. "We're out here to have fun," Luke said. And with that, Laura pulled him in for a kiss. The two sat there making out and Margot saw. In her confessional, Margot admitted she felt a little bit jealous, but realized Luke is a "f***boy."

Strangely enough, Luke and Margot talked after the make-out session and seemed to decide it is what it is — that is, until the camera caught up to the two of them making out outside the bathrooms a short time after Luke's make-out with Laura. Margot asked if she was getting in between something with him and Laura? He "joked" they could have a threesome.

Back on the yacht, Laura went into Luke's cabin and they started making out — with Margot just down the hall. Margot went to Luke's room to give Laura wine and saw her giving him a back massage. The crew then headed up to the jacuzzi. Just as they started playing truth or dare, Laura came up asking Luke to help her find her phone. The two disappeared below deck, started making out and went into his shower together. The next time we see them together, Luke is brushing his teeth and Laura is licking his neck (yes, at the same time). The audience can only assume that they had sex.

After that, Luke tried to go to bed, but Laura wanted to be with him. In his confessional, he said it was just a hookup and he didn't seem pleased that she wanted to stay in his bed. Meanwhile, Harry kissed Margot.

The next morning, Laura made a joke to Luke that he is her boyfriend, which gave him stage five clinger vibes. His new mission? To win Margot back. (Oh, and let's not forget that Margot and Laura are roommates onboard.)

New episodes of Below Deck Down Under air on Bravo on Tuesday nights. They are then available to stream on-demand on Peacock.

Episodes 2 and 3 of Below Deck Down Under season 2 played back-to-back for a double-the-fun Monday night on July 24. When a new stewardess showed up on board, more than one member of the deck team had their eye on her — and one acted on it in a way that the Bravo audience isn't cool with. 

(In case you were wondering about those drunken guests who jumped off the boat in the middle of the night in last week's episode, no, Captain Jason Chambers didn't end up cruising them back to the marina after their bad behavior.)

After operating with only two stews at the start of the first charter, Margot Sisson joined the crew as part of the Below Deck Down Under season 2 cast and quickly caught the eye of Bosun Luke Jones and Deckhand Harry Van Vliet. On their night out to celebrate a successful, yet challenging, first charter, the crew was enjoying drinks and dancing.

Margot and Luke had been flirting, and went to the bar to grab more drinks. He expressed how great the crew is and she said she didn't want anything to ruin it, like what could happen if everyone hooked up with each other. Then, Luke told Margot she had an eyelash in her eye and to shut her eye so he could get it. That appeared to just be a ploy, as he unexpectedly kissed her on the lips while her eyes were shut. Margot was completely shocked by the kiss and stepped back. Luke asked if they could kiss again and she said no multiple times. "You got your arms crossed like you’re upset, though," he said.

After the encounter, Margot talked to Chief Stew Aesha Scott and said Luke was "super aggressive" and how "it's too much right now." Once they got back to the boat, Margot was helping Luke get onboard and he pulled her in for more kissing. A little later on, Margot tried to explain to Luke that it's only been one day and she doesn't want to dive into it, because she doesn't know what she wants.

The next day, Luke approached Margot on the yacht. "I'm apologizing for forcefully kissing you last night," he said. Margot told him not to apologize and she didn't want him to feel bad. "I don't feel bad. I just didn't want you to be upset," Luke continued. Then, in his confessional, Luke said, "She f***ing loved it," seemingly discounting any feelings she had on the matter. Sigh.

Below Deck Down Under airs new episodes Mondays on Bravo, which are then available to stream Tuesdays on Peacock.

Captain Jason Chambers and Chief Stew Aesha Scott are back in Australia for Below Deck Down Under season 2. In the first episode of the new season, the Below Deck Down Under crew got to know one another and had to quickly come together (with two crew members down) to please the first group of charter guests, who made their experience memorable in a very bad way.

The charter guests were a group of friends who had small spats throughout their first day on board that caused tension. It also didn't help that many of them were beyond tipsy. After their seafood extravaganza dinner, which had a bit of drama with some of the friends being annoyed with one another, it appeared that everyone was off to bed. 

One of the guests, Brandon, came back upstairs in bathing suit briefs asking for champagne at 11 pm. He didn't go back to his room for long, however, and at 11:50 pm he came back upstairs looking for a cocktail.

Brandon wasn't the only one up. Kristyl, the guest who wrote on her preference sheet that she was sober and then stepped foot on the yacht demanding alcohol, woke up after falling asleep before dinner was even served. Brandon and Kristyl thought it was a good idea for their intoxicated selves to go for a dip off the coast of Cairns, Australia, at 1:35 in the morning.

"Can we go night swimming," Brandon asked Stew Laura Bileskalne? "No, you can't go swimming," she replied. He asked again after that. "No, you're under the influence and there's no one with you," Laura explained, noting that it was dark and the answer was a "hard no."

When Brandon went back to Kristyl, he told her that they would have to "hide" that they're swimming. The two proceeded to jump off the stern of the boat, and Laura came out to find the two in the water. 

"Guys, I was very clear with you, if you jump in the water, the party's over," Laura said. "Oh, you said that?" replied Kristyl, who had jumped in topless. At 2:10 am, Laura woke up Captain Jason to tell him how the guests defied her.

Jumping in the water off a luxury yacht might seem like the thing to do when you charter a boat, but at nighttime with minimal visibility and no crew members to watch them, it's just not smart or safe. Captain Jason explained that there are sharks, box jellyfish and strong currents to worry about.

Brandon and Kristyl got out of the water. "You go back in the water and we're gonna go back to the marina," Captain Jason said. 

"On my vacation, I'm the captain on the ship. You'll learn it tomorrow," Kristyl fired back. The two guests were clearly upset and wouldn't let the conversation rest, causing Captain Jason to say that they will be going back to the marina tomorrow. "No, no, no, b***h. F**k off," Brandon said to Captain Jason.

We’ll have to see if Captain Jason follows through and takes the guests back to the marina in the next episode, but we hope he stands his ground and shows them where lacking respect, going against orders and putting yourself in serious danger lands you.

Below Deck Down Under season 2 airs new episodes Mondays on Bravo at 8 pm ET/PT. The episode are available to stream the next day on Peacock.

It's time to set sail again with Captain Jason and the Chief Stew Aesha on the M/Y Northen Sun in Below Deck Down Under season 2. 

This season, Captain Jason and Aesha will be joined by a new crew in the majestic waters of Cairns, Australia, as they take charter guests on unforgettable trips at the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. 

UPDATE: Two crew members, Luke Jones and Laura Bileskalne, were fired after non-consensual sexual advances toward coworkers. 

Let's meet the crew of Below Deck Down Under season 2. 

Captain Jason Chambers

Captain Jason Chambers hails from Gosford, Australia. The Scorpio was born November 10 and has 23 years' experience in yachting. When he's not on the water he enjoys freediving and exploring, and watching Bravo's Vanderpump Rules. 

When he's away on charter, he misses being near his daughter the most. His favorite charter destination is Papua New Guinea. 

Captain Jason sums up Below Deck Down Under in these three words: "dramatic, wet, emotional."

Chief Stew Aesha Scott

Chief Stew Aesha Scott is from Tauranga, New Zealand. The Sagittarius was born November 27 and has 8 years' experience in yachting. 

She's an avid hiker and loves doing yoga and reading, and she also loves enjoying a  cocktail while reading a good book in the sun. When she's not working on charter, she sneaks away to send a message to family or take a nap. 

While cleaning the bathroom isn't the most fun, Aesha enjoys the ability to have some alone time while getting her work done and the guest bathrooms are the best place for that. She shares that many people don't believe it when she says stews don't spend a lot of time outside while on charter, and that's why they're not as tan as you might expect. 

She sums up season 2 with these three words: "unexpected emotional rollercoaster."

Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph

Chef Tzarina is from Bristol, England. Born April 13, she's an Aries with 4 years of yachting experience. 

When she's not on the boat she enjoys a good night out with friends and meeting new people. When she's in her room during a break she enjoys watching movies, sleeping and sneaking a few snacks, or enjoying the latest ship gossip. Her favorite charter destination is Antigua. 

Tzarina took one look at the Northern Sun and thought, "Is this the Antiques Roadshow on water?"

Deckhand Adam Kodra

Deckhand Adam is a Brooklyn, New York, native. He was born on December 31, which makes him a Capricorn. He's a new yachtie with only a year of experience, but he learned how to navigate using the stars so he's ready to take on the high seas on the Northern Sun. 

He misses his family when he's on charter, and though he works on boats he's known to get seasick. His favorite destination is Fitzroy Island, Australia. 

Stewardess Margot Sisson

Stewardess Margot is a Seattle, Washington, native. She was born August 28, which makes her a Virgo, and she has 2 years of yachting experience. She loves exploring new cities and finding all of the good bakeries. 

She's friends with Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Natasha DeBourg, and when she's not on charter she enjoys watching Bravo. 

Once on charter a guest asked her to pop a zit on his back, but it was actually a boil. 

If she could trade places with another Below Deck member, it would be Courtney Skippon because she's always surrounded by "scenic views, self-care, nature, good food and the people she loves most."

FIRED: Stewardess Laura Bileskalne

UPDATE: Laura was fired for making non-consensual sexual advances toward fellow co-worker Kodra, and for being critical of the decision to fire Luke instead of giving him a warning. 

Stewardess Laura is a native of Riga, Latvia. This Taurus was born May 15 and has 3 years of yachting experience. She enjoys dancing, playing pool, concerts and hiking when she's not on charter. She's a fan of all the Bravo shows. 

Her favorite destination on charter is Key West, Florida, and one thing that might surprise people about working on a boat is that the crew doesn't spend much time in the water. She points out that the crew doesn't have a luxurious life like their guests. 

Deckhand Harry Van Vliet

Deckhand Harry hails from Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. His birthday is April 1 and he's an Aries with 3 years of yachting experience. When not on charter he enjoys scuba diving, surfing, wakeboarding, camping and anything outdoors. His special trait is being able to make friends with everyone. 

When he's away on charter he misses his friends and good pub food. 

When he first saw the Northern Sun he thought it was a great adventure boat and he loved it. His favorite destination is Puerto Escondido, Mexico. 

FIRED: Bosun Luke Jones

UPDATE: Luke Jones was fired after making non-consensual sexual advances toward a fellow crew member. 

Bosun Luke calls Gold Coast, Australia, home. Born June 19, this Gemini has 7 years of yachting experience. He enjoys networking, skydiving and anything that gets him in the water.

Here's the synopsis of Below Deck Down Under season 2 from Bravo: 

"Captain Jason and Chief Stew Aesha reunite for an unforgettable, full-throttle charter season with a lively new crew and wild guests in the stunning waters of Cairns, Australia – the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.   

"Jason is at the helm of the vintage M/Y Northern Sun, where he navigates tumultuous crew dynamics and unprecedented shake-ups throughout the season.

Now a more seasoned leader, Aesha takes on some of the biggest obstacles of her career while looking out for the crew’s well-being. Mouth-watering menus and flavorful spreads delight the guests, but frustrations simmer between Chef Tzarina and Jason when he assists in the galley.

The interior experiences smooth sailing until a clash of work styles creates a rift between the stews. Unexpected newcomers rock the boat throughout the season, including a shocking franchise crossover with the arrival of a polarizing familiar face. A slew of hook-ups, break-ups, and a rare 'love pentagon' leaves the crew reeling as tension spills over on deck. "

How to watch Below Deck Down Under season 2

Below Deck Down Under season 2 will air on Bravo, with new episodes airing the next day on Peacock. 

If you have cut the cord to traditional cable/satellite television, Bravo is available on live TV streaming services such as Fubo TV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. 

UK fans can tune into previous seasons of the franchise on Hayu, and once we have a release date for season 2 in the UK we’ll add it here.

As the Bravo world continues to expand with reality shows developing quite the loyal viewership, the network has teased the future of many of its most popular shows on May 9, ahead of November's annual BravoCon event. Not only is the original Below Deck returning for an 11th season, but its spinoffs Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Down Under are setting sail for their respective eighth and second voyages as well. This is great news for those fans of the yacht-based reality shows. 

Speaking of Below Deck Down Under, when the show returns for its sophomore season, it will be doing so first on Bravo, with new episodes becoming available on Peacock the next day. This is a change from the rollout of the first season, which saw all the episodes debut on the streamer before eventually making their way to the television network. 

The Real Housewives of Miami season 6, which had a similar release schedule for season 5, will also see new episodes premiere on Bravo first before streaming on Peacock. 

Now for those that find themselves knee-deep in the world of Vanderpump Rules and the now infamous "Scandavol," Bravo announced that the series is returning for season 11. As of publication, there's no word on who from the season 10 cast is returning, so we'll all have to keep guessing on whether or not Tom and Ariana share a TV space again following the current season's reunion, which airs on May 24.

Moving right along in the world of Real Housewives, after being talked about for months, former Real Housewives of New York stars Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan are debuting in their own spinoff, Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake. According to Bravo, "[the show] follows socialites Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan as they head to Benton, Ill., in a hysterical fish-out-of-water experience, premieres this July."

Other Bravo season renewal announcements were made for: Top Chef, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, The Real Housewives of Potomac, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Married to Medicine, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Southern Hospitality, The Real Housewives of Dubai, Southern Charm and Winter House. 

Remember, Bravo shows can be streamed at your leisure with a subscription to Peacock. 

Viva Las Vegas! BravoCon is hitting the road this year, leaving New York City behind for new digs in Sin City. The annual convention will once again feature Bravolebrities from across Bravo's robust lineup of shows, including the Real Housewives and Below Deck, along with news, gossip and first look trailers. BravoCon 2023 is the place to be if you're a Bravo fan. 

"BravoCon is about celebrating our Bravoholics, whose impassioned commitment and loyalty continue to raise the bar on what it means to be a fan," said Ellen Stone, executive vice president, Consumer Engagement & Brand Strategy for NBCUniversal, in a statement. "In fact, their invaluable insight and devoted engagement drives us to come back stronger and smarter. You can bet this will be the best BravoCon yet."

Read on for everything you need to know about BravoCon 2023. 

BravoCon 2023 dates

BravoCon 2023 takes place November 3-5. 

The timing works well, as it's right in the middle of the fall television season, meaning there will be lots of Bravo series on the air and many more set to arrive soon after that. Expect to see lots of behind the scenes footage and interviews with cast members from shows on the air, as well as first-look footage and special announcements for shows yet to come. 

Tickets are expected to go on sale soon. Keep an eye on this space and on the BravoCon website for details. 

Where is BravoCon 2023?

BravoCon 2023 is taking place in Las Vegas. Most of the action will occur at Caesars Palace, but given how many events take place throughout the weekend it's very possible that events will be spread out in multiple locations. 

The official BravoCon 2023 hotels are Caesars Palace, Harrah's and The Linq. If you're looking to stay in the middle of all the Bravo fun, you'll want to book a room at one of those three hotels, but of course you can stay anywhere in Vegas and still enjoy the fun. 

This marks the first year the convention will leave its original home in New York City. 

Who will be at BravoCon 2023?

Thanks to its relatively central location, expect to see more Bravolebrities than ever before at BravoCon 2023. In 2022 there were over 100 special guests from well over a dozen shows and franchises. 

As we get closer to the event we'll be sure to add guest announcements right here. 

Can you watch BravoCon 2023 from home?

While BravoCon isn't streamed live for fans at home, there will be plenty of content for fans to enjoy from home. Expect to see at least one episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to be recorded live at the event along with lots of videos and interviews shared across social media. 

As the event approaches we'll add more details about what's available from home. 

History of BravoCon

With so many Bravo shows and so many Bravolebrities, it's not surprising why the idea of BravoCon was born. 

The inaugural event took place in New York City in 2019 and featured over 90 cast members from a wide variety of Bravo series, including Real Housewives, Top Chef, Vanderpump Rules, Southern Charm, Million Dollar Listing, Married to Medicine, Below Deck and Summer House. The three-day celebration was a massive success, with over 50 live events and a memorable broadcast of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. 

By the time the next BravoCon rolled around in 2022, the excitement had reached a fever pitch following the pandemic and being away from each other for so long. In 2022 there were over 100 Bravolebrities, 60 live events and five live tapings of WWHL. Andy Cohen also hosted the first-annual WWHL Presents: Legends Ball with some of the biggest stars honoring the most iconic moments from across the Bravo universe.

Now that BravoCon is on the move to Sin City, expect the three-day event to be bigger than ever before.

It's time to set sail once again with Captain Glenn and the crew of the Parsifal III. Below Deck Sailing Yacht is back for season 4, setting sail from the stunning coves and marinas as Sardinia, Italy. 

There are plenty of familiar faces, including Captain Glenn, Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin Macrae. The rest of the crew is made up of newcomers to the show and the franchise, and time will only tell whether they have what it takes to sail the seas aboard the Parsifal III.

Thanks to Bravo, we have biographies for the returning and new members of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4. 

Captain Glenn Shephard

Captain Glenn returns for his fourth season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. 

"Originally from Montreal, Capt. Glenn’s life has always been dictated by the need to see the world. Early on in his travels, he was invited onboard a 50-foot classic sailboat to work as a deckhand and was immediately hooked and has never looked back. With over 22 years in the industry and 13 years as the Captain on Parsifal III, Glenn has hosted hundreds of high-end guests over many busy charter seasons. Glenn knows how to keep his cool while catering to the uber elite. This laid-back Captain is calm until his limits are pushed. Don’t mess with Capt. Glenn!"

Daisy Kelliher, Chief Stewardess

"Returning chief stew Daisy Kelliher is considered a yachting legacy. Her grandfather was an Olympic sailor for Ireland in 1964, and her parents – and many aunts and uncles – were yachties. Daisy has a lot to live up to when she returns to Parsifal III after a successful last two seasons and can always be counted on to give you a piece of her mind and let her hair down to have a good time."

Gary King, First Mate

"Having captained smaller boats and run the deck on several busy super yachts, Gary’s 13 years of experience is apparent in the way he runs his deck team. On one hand, he rules his department with an iron fist but on the other hand, he is never the type to leave a party first. He brims with mischievous charm but his flirtation gets him in hot water on and off deck."

Colin Macrae, Chief Engineer

Longtime sailor Colin MacRae worked as a Chief Engineer on super yachts for 15 years before joining Parsifal III for his third season. With a big heart and an impish smile, Colin is more than happy to lend a hand anywhere that he might be needed. However, when Colin’s kindness gets mistaken for weakness, fireworks fly.

Chef Ileisha Dell

Ched Ileisha Dell joins the Parsifal III for her first season. 

"With over 17 years of culinary experience, Chef Ileisha has been living her dream as a yacht chef since 2014, merging her passion of cooking, traveling the world and working and living on the water. Originally from a small beach town on the east coast of Australia, she worked her way into some of Sydney’s most prestigious kitchens as a pastry chef. Chef Ileisha has taken many leaps in her career, working as a prep chef for Matt Moran for his cooking show, working as a private chef for one of Sydney’s most famous households and accompanying another family on their yachts across the Mediterranean for two years. To stay in tune with her creativity, Chef Ileisha also loves photography, film, interior design, yoga and scouting for vintage glassware."

Mads Herrera, Stewardess

"Born and raised in South Florida, Mads spent much of her time in the water and on yachts, so it was only natural she ended up in the maritime industry. With two years of experience, Mads has worked on day charters and boat deliveries and is eager for the new challenges of working on a charter yacht. A true adventurer, Mads lives life in the fast line traveling the world, riding dirt bikes and sky diving."

Alex Propson, Deckhand

"Originally from Wisconsin, Alex got his jumpstart in yachting while networking in Los Angeles. He moved to South Florida and kept up his career as a deckhand since achieving his captain’s license. The career change was influenced by the pandemic after spending eight years in sales. You can always find Alex staying active whether practicing yoga, playing basketball or diving in top destinations around the world."

Chase Lemacks, Deckhand

"A southern gentleman from South Carolina, Chase knows how to turn on the charm for the demanding guests this season. Chase originally joined the world of yachting with the dream of one day sailing around the world running charters on a sailboat of his own. Having solely worked on large motor yachts since 2019, it was an exciting challenge and welcome change of pace to come on board a sailing vessel. When he’s not on deck, he loves to get his hands dirty backpacking, hunting and fixing up old homes."

Lucy Edmonds, Stewardess

"Originally from Wales, Lucy shines with a bubbly personality and enthusiasm that makes her the perfect fit for the interior team. After feeling stuck at university during the pandemic, Lucy, who has a wide breadth of experience in the hospitality world, set sail and joined the yachting industry. Before getting her start in the Mediterranean, she worked at high-end restaurants and became a club VIP manager at only 19 years old. When she’s not chartering across the globe, Lucy enjoys a more laid-back lifestyle of playing sports and watching rugby."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 airs Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo. 

Captain Glenn and the crew of the Parsifal III are back for another season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. This time the yacht is setting sail in lovely Sardinia, Italy, and even though it's a beautiful location, don't expect calm seas. This season, anything can happen. 

As the original Below Deck franchise wraps up its tenth season, Below Deck Sailing Yacht cruises into season 4 with the promise of picturesque landscapes and thrilling adventures, but the trailer hints at some trouble on board, and not just with the crew. Although, it looks like the Parsifal III has some challenges this season that puts Captain Glenn and the crew through their paces. 

Here's everything we know about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 plot

Bravo offered this synopsis of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 and it gives you a good sense of what's coming in the new season: 

"Capt. Glenn and his comeback team Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin MacRae resume their responsibilities aboard Parsifal III, along with new, dynamic crew members, as they set sail in Sardinia, Italy. Capt. Glenn realizes that his laid-back leadership style has allowed his crew to become too comfortable and starts taking charge of quality control in the interior department, much to Daisy's dismay. 

"In the galley, Chef Ileisha’s cooking impresses the guests, but her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct. On deck, strong personalities collide, and a power struggle results in a near mutiny, as Gary clashes with his new overconfident deckhand, Chase. 

"Two overlapping love triangles further complicate the dynamics on-board, and a shocking hookup puts Colin, Daisy and Gary’s friendship in jeopardy. With a near collision, fire, crew rebellion, gruesome guest injury and two different potentially season-ending engine failures, this is the most captivating and unpredictable season yet of Below Deck Sailing Yacht."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 trailer

There are some rough seas coming up in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4. Here's a look at what you can expect:

How to watch Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 premieres April 10 on Bravo, with new episodes airing the next day on Peacock. 

If you have cut the cord to traditional cable/satellite television, Bravo is available on live TV streaming services such as Fubo TV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. 

UK fans can tune into previous seasons of the franchise on Hayu, and once we have a release date for season 4 in the UK we’ll add it here.

Surprise! It's a Below Deck crossover! On the latest episode of Bravo's nautical franchise, the St. David crew learned who would be replacing Captain Lee Rosbach after his injury forced him to step away. Instead of bringing aboard a brand new captain, fans were delighted to see that Below Deck Mediterranean's own Captain Sandy Yawn stepped in to save the day. 

After a briefing from Captain Lee, the crew got its first look at the new captain, and it wasn't until she stepped through the doorway that they (and fans) knew it was Captain Sandy. 

While the crew was happy to see a Bravo legend taking over (Sandy has been with Below Deck Med since the second season) they were all-too aware that a new captain meant new ways of running things. Chef Rachel and the interior team were shocked but delighted to discover Sandy has no problem helping with dishes or picking up a mop to clean the galley after dinner service. 

Sandy quickly saw that Alissa was working hard and Camille, frankly, wasn't. Camille demanded that Ross allow her to work on deck after she decided she was done doing laundry for Fraser, and Ross and Fraser were not happy about it. 

It looks like Camille's on the thinnest ice yet now that Sandy has seen a bit of it for herself. Camille will either have to shape up or ship out. 

Speaking of shipping out, Tony was very unhappy when Ross told the deck crew that Sandy wants them all to rotate on anchor watch to learn how to do it. Long nights of anchor watch will keep Tony from his early morning workouts, which means he'll be grumpy and out of sorts. Stay tuned to see how that plays out…

Let's take a look at what fans were saying about Captain Sandy taking over the St. David:

Thankfully, we know Captain Lee is now in good health and doesn’t have any plans to leave the franchise any time soon. But until he returns, the St. David is in very good hands with Captain Sandy.  

Below Deck airs Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo and next day on Peacock. New episodes of the show are available on Hayu in the UK.  

Captain Lee's premature departure from Below Deck season 10 might not have been the best kept secret given it was teased in the pre-season trailer. Though now that the moment has arrived, fans can't help but react to how it all happened. 

The Below Deck season 10 trailer indicated that Captain Lee had been dealing with health issues, so even the quick glimpse of the crew with tears in their eyes was enough to suggest that he wouldn't be sticking around this season. Thanks to the filming and scheduling process, though, fans have spotted a healthy and spry Captain Lee on social media and at in-person events like BravoCon. 

Before we get to the reactions, fans want to know whether this is the end of Captain Lee's journey on the beloved Bravo franchise. Captain Lee spoke about retirement in a November 2022 interview with E!, noting that it was something in the distant horizon but not on his radar any time soon. 

"I think retirement is highly overrated," he said. "You can only go fishing so much, you can only play so much golf. I think people have to stay productive, otherwise they might as well start getting out the shovel."

He also revealed on Twitter that his departure from the show isn't permanent. When a fan asked whether he'd be back next season, here's what he said: "I will as long as it's fun, which it is and you guys still want to have me."

Captain Lee started the 10th charter season in recovery after off-season surgery. Though he was on the mend, he realized that his mobility was being impacted more than he'd imagined. When he lost feeling on the left side of his body as the charter season progressed, he knew he had to step down. 

With the decision to leave made, he gathered the crew together to reveal the news. The crew's reaction was one of shock and sadness, because everyone loves the Stud of the Sea, but there was no missing the fact that the captain wasn't operating at 100%, something that's required for this line of work. 

"There comes a point if a captain is really being objective, he should be putting the best interests of his crew first because that's your primary responsibility," Lee said in the episode. 

Not surprisingly, Below Deck fans were quick to offer the captain their condolences and well wishes. 

Fans react to Captain Lee's departure

While fans wished Captain Lee the best, there were some fans who wondered why he'd been allowed to set sail with an injury in the first place. After all, being the captain of any vessel is a big deal with lots of responsibilities. 

Now that Captain Lee has left the dock this season, the focus now shifts to who will take over for him. There are plenty of Below Deck captains from previous franchises who could take over, so stay tuned to see who takes the helm in the next episode. 

Below Deck airs Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo with episodes available to stream the next day on Peacock. It's available to stream in the UK on Hayu. 

On Bravo, the network is anchored by the Real Housewives and the Below Deck franchises. Given the increasing popularity of the latter yachting shows —  Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean, Below Deck Down Under and Below Deck Sailing Yacht — it should come as no surprise that the brand new series Below Deck Adventure is set to sail. 

Unlike its predecessors, Below Deck Adventure takes place along the Norwegian Fjords and shows more of the activities that guests participate in during their vacation moments not on the yacht. However, between the conflicting personalities of the crew and the at times outlandish behavior of guests, the drama that unfolds throughout the season will distinctly be reminiscent of the Below Deck brand. 

Here’s everything we know about Below Deck Adventure season 1.

When is the next episode of Below Deck Adventure? 

The next episode of Below Deck Adventure premieres on Tuesday, January 31, at 9 pm ET/PT. Here is the synopsis for the episode titled "The Long Fjord-Bye":

"After Kerry calls out her intimidating behavior, Jess makes a decision on whether or not to leave the Mercury. Faye faces her toughest test yet when she has to model the primary's dress at a photo shoot. Seth confronts Kasie."

What is Below Deck Adventure about? 

Here’s the official Bravo synopsis of Below Deck Adventure:

"Bravo takes viewers beyond the deck and off the yacht in the latest iteration of the Emmy Award-nominated franchise as passengers paraglide, explore caves and take extreme helicopter rides along the Norwegian Fjords. The series features thrill-seeking charter guests looking to push their limits for an unforgettable experience along the picturesque landscapes rich in Vikings history.

"This season on Below Deck Adventure, Capt. Kerry Titheradge, a skilled captain with decades of experience in waters all over the world, keeps the crew of motor yacht Mercury in line as they cruise through the dangerously narrow yet breathtaking fjords. He tasks his team to curate the ultimate experience for their guests with excursions as they explore the Valdall Caves and paraglide in Andalsnes — all within the unpredictable cold waters of Norway. 

"Chef Jess Condy is a wanderlust who demands excellence; Chief Stew Faye Clarke left her high-power job in the business world to pursue yachting; Stews Oriana Schneps and Kasie Faddah, who arrive with some rocky history having previously worked together, vie for the position of second stewardess. Bosun Lewis Lupton and deckhands Nathan Morely, Michael Gilman and Kyle Dickard come together in this frigid-water region as some situations get heated when expectations aren't met and interpersonal conflicts come to a head while striving to please their guests. The yachties hit their fair share of stormy seas and come together to give the charter guests an experience of a lifetime."

"New location, new boat, new crew, new everything," says Captain Lee, the Stud of Sea, in the new trailer for Below Deck season 10. It’s time to set sail with Bravo’s most beloved yachting franchise in the Caribbean.

The new season was teased at BravoCon 2022 and immediately had fans buzzing. Captain Lee Rosbach is back behind the wheel of motor yacht St. David, the biggest boat to be featured on the show at 197 feet. He’ll have two returning crew members and a bunch of new faces, but the trailer suggests that there’s rough waters ahead. 

Those rough waters lead to Captain Lee stepping away from the St. David for health reasons and Captain Sandy Yawn taking the helm while he recovers.

Below Deck season 10 cast

Joining Captain Lee on his Caribbean journey will be two familiar faces from last season: chef Rachel Hargrove and chief stew Fraser Olender. Everyone else will be new to the team, and with newbies comes the inevitable growing pains. And Captain Lee always has plane tickets to send people home if they disrespect the boat. 

We’ll be watching to see whether new bosun Ross McHarg can handle the job. In the past, new bosuns have always had a trial by fire. Being a new bosun on any boat is tough, but being a new bosun with a new crew of deckhands on a megayacht is a whole other ballgame. 

Thankfully, Captain Lee will have some stability in the interior with Olender as the chief stew, while Hargrove has things covered in the galley.

Here’s the complete crew coming to Below Deck season 10: 

• Captain Lee Rosbach 
• Chef Rachel Hargrove 
• Chief Stew Fraser Olender 
• Bosun Ross McHarg 
• Stew Hayley De Sola Pinto
• Stew Alissa Humber 
• Deck/Stew Camille Lamb 
• Deckhand Tony Duarte 
• Deckhand Katie Glaser 
• Deckhand Ben Willoughby 

Below Deck season 10 plot

Below Deck chronicles the lives of the people who make fantasies come true on mega yachts. The hard-working crew members have to navigate the needs (and demands) of the guests while taking care of their other responsibilities on the ship. And when you’re living in close quarters with the people you work with, with nowhere to go to get some space, it can be a big challenge. 

Is there a trailer for Below Deck season 10?

Here’s the supersized trailer for the upcoming season of Below Deck: 

How to watch Below Deck season 10

Below Deck season 10 premieres November 21 on Bravo, with new episodes airing the next day on Peacock. 

UK fans can tune into previous seasons of the franchise on Hayu, and once we have a release date for season 10 in the UK we’ll add it here.  

It's time to set sail on the largest boat in Below Deck history! Below Deck season 10 features the massive 197-foot superyacht St. David with Captain Lee, the "Stud of the Sea" at the helm. 

In the 10th season of the beloved Bravo franchise, the St. David calls the port of St. Lucia home. Captain Lee has two familiar faces with him this season in Chef Rachel Hargrove and Chief Stew Fraser Olender. Together they'll navigate a new crew.

Bravo has provided brief bios for the returning crew members as well as the newcomers. So let's get to know the cast of Below Deck season 10!

Captain Lee Rosbach

"Captain Harold Lee Rosbach has spent more than three decades in the yachting industry. Born and raised in landlocked Michigan, he discovered his untapped love for the water while managing restaurants in Turks & Caicos. It was then that an acquaintance invited him to serve as a mate on a sailboat delivery to earn extra cash. At 35, Lee obtained his captain's license and left the restaurant business behind to pursue his newfound passion. Since then, the Running Against The Tide author has commanded more than a dozen super yachts. Lovingly known as the 'Stud of the Sea,' Lee values the special bonds he forms on deck and always puts the safety of everyone on board above all else. Lee is excited to return to the Caribbean this season with familiar faces Chef Rachel Hargrove and Chief Stew Fraser Olender as he adjusts to new super yacht, St. David."

Rachel Hargrove, chef

"Originally from Tampa, Fla., Rachel Hargrove is a cosmopolitan yacht chef with an extensive repertoire of culinary skills. Although predominantly self-taught, Rachel attended the Culinary Institute of America and held an apprenticeship at the Michelin-starred restaurant Quatro Passi in Nerano, Italy. After spending time in Thailand, Japan, India and Italy to expand her craft, Rachel revels in her wide range of cuisines — from molecular gastronomy to gluten-free pasta, she is unphased by almost any charter guest preference sheet. A talented and experienced chef, Rachel admits her demanding professionalism can be polarizing to others. No matter their opinion, Rachel is always sure to stand her ground on deck."

Fraser Olender, chief stew 

"With a passion for luxury hospitality and travel, it was a no-brainer for Fraser to join the yachting industry four years ago. He got his start on a motor yacht in Naples, Italy, and has never looked back. Prior to yachting, Fraser worked in commercial bookings for leading model agencies in London. In the off-season, he loves to travel to picturesque destinations, staying at the world's finest hotels with the dream to one day open his own. Returning to the Caribbean to work under Captain Lee again, Fraser is thrilled to be chief stew on St. David. However, when the charter guests get too demanding, he must prove his worth as a department lead."

Ross McHarg, bosun 

"Leading the deck team this season is Bosun Ross McHarg. Originally from the UK, the British yachtie has spent the last 15 years living all over the world. Most recently, his travels have landed him in Asia, where he has set up base. Twelve years ago, Ross found yachting through teaching ski seasons in Europe and abandoned the snow for the sand without a second thought. With his love of travel and meeting new people, yachting was the perfect career move. A seasoned bosun, Ross brings experience and wisdom to his team, but his flirty ways get him in hot water with the crew."

Luis Antonio 'Tony' Duarte, deckhand 

"Originally from Costa Rica, deckhand Luis Antonio 'Tony' Duarte is no stranger to the seas. An adrenaline junkie, Tony has experience as a dive master in South Africa, whale-watching guide in Costa Rica and a zip-liner in the Bahamas. When he's not working in beautiful, remote locations, Tony enjoys surfing, fishing and cliff jumping. A man of nomadic nature with a passion for travel, Tony adventures from place to place but is looking forward to calling St. David his home for the charter season. With prior experience on smaller boats, Tony welcomes the challenge aboard his first super yacht." 

Ben Willoughby, deckhand 

"Born and raised on the Gold Coast of Australia, deckhand Ben Willoughby is a self-described 'ocean child at heart.' Inspired by a childhood friend's yachtie lifestyle, Ben first took to the high seas in 2020 when he joined a mega yacht crew in France. Combining his passion for fitness with his love of the water, Ben has worked as both a deckhand and personal trainer on yachts for the past three years. A social guy who firmly believes 'a Pina Colada is always a good decision,' Ben is eager to bring the party onboard. This thrill-seeking Aussie is determined to stand out on the deck of the St. David."

Hayley De Sola Pinto, stew 

"Hailing from Cornwall, England, charismatic new stew Hayley De Sola Pinto is excited to cruise the Caribbean waters. During most of the year, Hayley is an advanced aesthetics practitioner for her self-built business Classen Aesthetics. Her love of travel and meeting new people has led her to work on and off yachts since she was 23. With her humor and empathetic personality, Hayley specializes in making charter guests feel welcome and at home on St. David. However, her admittedly loud and over-the-top personality often gets her into the mix of drama onboard."

Katie Glaser, deckhand 

"Deckhand Katie Glaser first fell in love with the glamorous and fast-paced yachting industry when she moved from Colorado to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Since starting her boating career as a stew three years ago, Katie has built an extensive resume as a deckhand and first mate on a variety of yachts. While Katie has worked in different corporate fields, including IT recruiting, account management and beverage sales, she has always had an affinity for the service industry. Katie spends nearly as much time in the water as she does on it, being a fan of snorkeling, wakeboarding and swimming. Always up for an adventure, this extroverted yachtie is eager to prove she has what it takes."

Alissa Humber, stew 

"A born and bred Floridian, Alissa Humber found herself diving headfirst into yachting just over two years ago. Now residing in Miami, Alissa spends her time working as a stew on temporary yacht jobs. During the off season, Alissa loves to shop and is enamored by the gorgeous, colorful fashion in her city. She also embraces nature and enjoys kayaking or hiking in the Sunshine State. Working as a stew aboard St. David, Alissa prides herself on pleasing the charter guests and ensuring they have the best time onboard. However, when conflict emerges between her and another stew, tensions rise amongst the entire crew."

Camille Lamb, deckhand/stew 

"Coming from a family of merchant mariners, boating has always been in Camille’s blood. With sailing experience since she was 9, Camille is a natural-born yachtie with a love for the water, the beach and traveling. An avid singer and songwriter as well, Camille competed on American Idol last year. Upon her elimination, Camille found herself lost and returned to her roots on the water. With just her sailing experience from childhood, Camille secured a position on a day-charter yacht in the Virgin Islands. Since then, Camille has had more formal yachting training under her belt with work experience in Miami and Los Angeles. Camille joins St. David this season working both on deck and inside the yacht as a deck/stew, but when she's split between the two departments, she loses motivation on board."

Below Deck season 10 airs on Mondays on Bravo, with new episodes streaming on Peacock the next day in the US and on Hayu in the UK.

The new Below Deck spinoff, Below Deck Adventure, takes guests on thrilling adventures in Norway. It's a new destination, a new crew and a new boat for Bravo fans to love. Unfortunately, not everything new is exactly welcome. Deckhand Kyle is already causing waves with fans.

Between his disrespectful attitude and belief that he knows more about boats than anyone else, it's hard to find a reason to like the guy… so it's not surprising that fans don't like him. Not one bit. 

Let’s look at why fans are so upset about Below Deck Adventure’s Kyle.  

Who is Below Deck Adventure's Kyle?

Kyle was born and raised in Texas. He's referenced his childhood several times and made it clear that he grew up poor and worked hard to escape poverty. Being able to travel the world while working on boats is the perfect way to make his dreams come true. He's been working on boats for over five years, so he knows what he's doing. 

Guests love his southern charm, but has also has a tendency to appear arrogant and rude; never a good combination.

How did Below Deck Adventure’s Kyle upset fans?

It seems like every reality show has that one person who likes to rock the boat. When it comes to Below Deck Adventure — a show that takes place on a literal boat — when someone starts making waves, the whole boat feels it. 

Kyle established his reputation from the moment he walked onto the boat. What reputation is that, you might ask? Kyle is that guy. The moment he got on board he loudly proclaimed that he's the "cowboy" and he has no problem telling people what he thinks. He also likes to break wind and burp when it pleases him. 

He has no issue telling his bosun and fellow deckhands how they should do things. "You're taking me on the tender, b***h," he says to his bosun, Lewis, when they learn that the interior is down a stew and will need extra help preparing for the guest's arrival. Kyle warns that Lewis had better sleep with one eye open if he doesn't.

Bosun Lewis, who has a non confrontational management style that is being put to the test this season, wanted to think it was a joke, but even he wasn't sure. 

Kyle also disregarded Captain Kerry's order and pulled his fender early, placing it right in front of the bridge and obscuring Kerry's view as they left the harbor. 

To add insult to injury, know-it-all Kyle didn't want to listen to Nathan explain how the captain expected him to complete a night shift, pushing Nathan to go as fast as he could through the instructions. He was rude and hostile toward Nathan, who had been told in no uncertain terms by Kerry that he had to explain everything to the person taking over for him no matter what. 

When the guests went out onto the water, Kyle didn't tell them about life preservers so Nathan tried to call them back, with Kyle then complaining to Lewis about Nathan overstepping. Lewis spoke with Nathan without offering any correction to Kyle, who instead reminded Lewis that he's a certified lifeguard (forget about the freezing water or the rule that everyone wears a life vest, of course) and instead showed off by eating a jellyfish he'd scooped up from the water. 

Then, during a cave excursion with the guests, he amped up his flirting with Kasie and even kissed her cheek without her consent as the guests egged him on. Later, the incident got back to Captain Kerry, who called Kasie to the bridge to find out what happened. Kerry was not happy that one of his crew had been put into that situation, especially not one of the female crew members, and vowed to put a stop to it, much to Kasie's relief. 

That was just the first two episodes.

Based on upcoming previews, things are only going to get worse for Kyle, who might be the lights-out drinker of the crew, which never bodes well. 

Below Deck Adventure fans react to Kyle being Kyle

Kyle’s blatant rudeness and disrespect had fans fuming. The way he talks to Nathan, Lewis and Kasie is unacceptable, and fans were quick to call him out.  

Below Deck Adventures airs Tuesdays at 9 pm ET/PT on Bravo.  New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock. 

There’s a new Below Deck spinoff in the Bravoverse and fans were quick to hop on board. Below Deck Adventure follows the crew of the Mercury, based in the icy waters of Norway. With breathtaking views and frigid water, this show is unlike anything we’ve seen yet and fans were quick to get into the swing of the new show. 

As with all Bravo series, and particularly with the Below Deck franchise, the first thing everyone on social media was talking about was the crew of the Mercury. Aussie Captain Kerry Titheradge has a lot of experience and high expectations for his crew, but he’s also very fair and willing to help. 

Chief Stew Faye Clarke is proud of her southeast London roots and loves her big hair and makeup. She’s experienced and determined to run a tight interior, but she might have a challenge from her stews, Kasie Fadah and Oriana Schnepps. It just so happens that Oriana was chief stew on the first boat Kasie worked on, and Kasie didn’t like her boss at all. Oriana, who spent most of the first charter in bed after eating some bad chicken, looks like she’s going to give Faye a run for her money because she has her own ideas about how to do things. 

Chef Jess Condy is a galley yoga enthusiast (she did handstands in the galley ahead of the first charter) and a big proponent of wanderlust on her social media. She’s immensely talented, but the Mercury’s odd configuration (with an ill-conceived pantry located high above the staircase) will pose some challenges. Also, Faye’s lack of communication during the first dinner service had Jess frustrated, so hopefully they can iron things out. 

The exterior team is managed by bosun Lewis Lupton, who just wants everyone to get along. He’s easygoing and hardworking, but he’s going to have his hands full from his team. 

Cowboy enthusiast Kyle Dickard is a pompous jerk who thinks he knows everything, and he’ll let you know. Michael Gilman graduated from the Maritime Academy and served on commercial ships so he’s not entirely green, but he’s never worked on a yacht before. And it was impossible not to fall in love with kind and gentle Nathan Morley, an experienced deckie who hails from the Bahamas and sends his money home to care for his seven sisters. 

The cold climate in Norway makes it so that guests can’t swim, so Below Deck Adventure is all about onboard experiences and going ashore for exciting adventures. There’s also the matter of very long days to contend with — the sun rises around 5 am and sets after 10 pm, adding to the challenges of keeping guests happy and occupied. 

Speaking of guests, the season’s first charter guests were celebrating their 40th birthdays in style, which meant lots and lots (and lots and lots) of alcohol. The strange thing was seeing Faye and Kasie sampling the liquor — a great deal of the liquor — as they came up with colorful concoctions to keep the guests happy.

Below Deck Adventure offers something new and unique to the Below Deck universe, which also includes Below Deck Mediterranean, Below Deck Sailing Yacht and Below Deck Down Under, but it’s not without many of the same challenges that other shows face. 

There’s no question that Kyle’s days on the boat are numbered. He’s too much of a bully and a jerk to last long under Captain Kerry’s regime. As for the interior, well, tension between Faye and Jess could turn into something more, or Faye might be caught up with lots of stew drama.

Fans had lots of thoughts about Below Deck Adventure. Here’s what they were saying:

Below Deck Adventure airs Tuesdays at 9 pm ET/PT on Bravo. 

Captain Sandy finally gave bosun Raygan the boot in this week’s all-new episode of Below Deck Mediterranean. Sure, it only took five episodes, but we’ll take it. Fans agreed Raygan’s days were numbered. Raygan was in over her head and at long last she’s off the motor yacht Home for good. 

While we hate constantly criticizing crew members in the Below Deck franchise, no one has ever misjudged three meters before. That one mistake alone led Sandy to crash into a buoy in last week’s episode. Thankfully there wasn’t any damage, but the writing was on the wall and Raygan needed to go. 

After Captain Sandy gave Raygan the news, Raygan had to pack her belongings and get off the boat, and that meant saying goodbye to her fellow crew members. Not surprisingly, they didn’t seem shocked by her departure; if anything, they seemed surprised it hadn’t happened sooner. 

Below Deck Mediterranean fans agreed: 

With Raygan gone, Storm stepped into the interim bosun position. Captain Sandy was impressed with his calm and confident demeanor; whether that translates into competence remains to be seen, but for now Storm is a welcome addition to the deck crew and hopefully he can help steer them in the right direction. 

Fans were also buzzing about Natasha and Dave’s situation. It’s not even close to a relationship at this point. The weirdness between them has persisted into, well, even more weirdness. While Dave continues to be too forceful in his insistence that they were supposed to have a relationship and that's not cool at all, Natasha continues to mess with his head and it’s becoming a problem.

This is the point in the season when communication usually starts breaking down between the interior crew. It’s Below Deck Med, so there’s no way the calm competence can last. What won’t help things is tension between the chief stew and the chef. It just won’t work. 

It also remains to be seen whether Storm can guide the deck crew. We’re hopeful, because he came on the ship to be a deckhand and now he’s being given a chance to prove he can lead. Captain Sandy is a great role model and mentor when it comes to helping crew members move ahead in yachting. If Storm can weather the rough weather under Raygan’s reign, maybe he can help guide the boat into calmer waters. 

Stay tuned to see what happens on the next episode of Below Deck Mediterranean, airing Mondays on Bravo or next day on Peacock.  

Captain Sandy Yawn has spent her entire career, including navigating six seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean, without hitting anything. Until now. The fourth episode of season 7, "Skeletons in the Closet," saw Sandy hit a buoy while docking, signaling rough waters ahead for Raygan the bosun. 

Thanks to bad weather, the Home had to head to port earlier than expected. While the interior focused on the guests and making sure their needs were met, the deck crew prepared for docking and Raygan somehow confused three meters with zero meters, leading to the collision. 

Thankfully, the only thing damaged was Captain Sandy’s ego. For her part, Raygan — who was spotted snacking instead of preparing to dock with the rest of her team.

Raygan’s antics weren’t the only thing stirring up trouble in this week’s episode. The twentysomething guests with unholy amounts of money had a lot of dirty laundry that poor Natalya was left to deal with, but ultimately it was the strange interactions between Chef David and Chief Stew Natasha that had fans buzzing. 

Drama aside, we have to admit that the crew of the motor yacht Home gets their work done. The charter guests were blown away at how the interior went “above and beyond” with their service, especially the amazing food that David was able to produce in his hotter-than-Hades galley.

Dave and Natasha have been able to keep their issues quiet, for the most part, but the tension between them is bound to come to a head sooner or later. Dave is clearly pining over Natasha and she's giving him mixed signals. Something needs to change before things get ugly. Of course, this is Below Deck Mediterranean so things will get ugly before they get better.

As the guests departed they said the deck crew kept people waiting longer than they should, and that was probably the last straw for the normally even-keeled Captain Sandy. She’d asked Raygan several times to make sure that all of the toys were in the water before the guests asked for them, and keeping them waiting was inexcusable, especially considering that their time on the water was cut short. 

By the end of the episode Captain Sandy called Raygan to the bridge for a meeting. We’ll find out on next week's all-new Below Deck Mediterranean if the skipper plans to fish or cut bait with the new bosun. 

It’s a new day onboard the motor yacht Home but the same old problems are impacting the crew. While the rest of the Below Deck Mediterranean crew is ready to work after partying hard the night before, Raygan once again struggles to get her job done. This time, though, Captain Sandy is there to call her out. 

For some strange reason, despite her years of experience working on boats, Raygan continues to fall behind in her bosun duties while the rest of the deck crew manages to get their act together and compensate for her hangovers, general confusion and lack of understanding about how to manage a crew. 

When she shows up at the pre-charter meeting Sandy calls her out. She’s not sick, she’s hungover. There’s no denying it. Captain Sandy says in her confessional that the crew can go out and party all they want so long as they get back to the boat and are ready to work the following day. So far, that seems to be stretch 

Below Deck Mediterranean fans agree that Raygan is still slipping and it’s a matter of time before she gets the old heave-ho.  

It all hurts our brains even more because Sandy had one request of Raygan going into the charter: have all of the toys in water as soon as they anchored. It was the guests’ top request. You’d think she’d do whatever it took to get the toys on the water, but close to two hours after anchoring the water toys were still on the deck and Sandy had to come down to expedite the situation. 

Raygan always has an excuse or a weak explanation for why things seem to be going wrong, frequently pointing the finger at her team instead of shouldering the blame for her own shortcomings. It’s not a good look and it’s putting the crew’s tips in jeopardy when she lets the guests down. 

Raygan is on thin ice, and fans don’t think she’s going to get better any time soon. 

Things between Chief Stew Natasha and Chef Dave were strained throughout most of the episode, until he joined her for a prolonged shower. Thanks to the production team, we know they were showering for close to thirty minutes before emerging from the steam. 

We’re only three episodes into Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 and the drama is already ramping up on the Home. Captain Sandy might need Raygan to walk the plank sooner rather than later to keep things ship shape. 

You’d think that the Home losing its stabilizers would be one of the biggest moments of Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 episode 2. While it’s true that glasses shattered and alcohol went overboard, Below Deck Med fans were buzzing about the did-they-didn’t-they energy between chef Dave and chief stew Natasha. 

In the season premiere we learned that Natasha and Dave just came from another charter before starting a new season on the Home. That might explain their close connection and open flirtation — not to mention the rest of the crew thinks they’re a couple. 

At the end of the episode as the crew enjoyed a post-charter meal, Natalya pressed Dave about his relationship with Natasha. He admitted that he wanted a relationship with her, but they didn’t have one. Later, he tells producers that they did indeed hook up during their last charter but Natasha asked him to keep quiet because she was still with her boyfriend. She claimed that they were on the outs, but the fact remains she was cheating on her boyfriend with him.

Dave got emotional about his struggle to keep the secret, and Deckies had a lot to say in his defense.

The team managed to survive the broken stabilizers that sent the ship swaying from side to side. It led to a massive cleanup effort and it looked like Raygan spent a good portion of the time taking smoke breaks. Natalya put together a lovely Japanese-themed dinner party that was a big hit for the primary’s anniversary celebration. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be Below Deck Med without some choppy waters. The guests were unhappy with the time it took to get the water toys out, but thankfully Dave’s cooking on the last night of the charter helped smooth things over. 

Ultimately the guests were happy with their trip and they left a massive tip to express their gratitude. 

It’s still early in the season so this won’t be the last of the Dave and Natasha drama. The question, of course, is whether they can remain friends or if there are rough seas ahead.

Summertime means a new season of Below Deck Mediterranean. The show’s seventh season set sail with lots of new faces and plenty of potential for drama and high-seas hijinks.

Captain Sandy Yawn is back at the helm in season 7. She’s joined by Chief Stew Natasha and her two stews Natalya and Kyle. Bosun Raygan will have a team of three deckhands that include Jason, Storm and Mzi, the only returning crewmember from the previous season. Finally, Chef Dave is heating things up in the galley. 

There are a few other new elements to Below Deck Med’s seventh season: a new boat and a new location. Motor yacht Home is a hybrid ship with modern accents that have never been seen on the franchise before. Home is sailing out of Malta this season, and that means lots of new adventures for the crew and their guests.

Unlike other Bravo reality shows, the cast of Below Deck Mediterranean can’t rest on their laurels while sailing the seven seas. Home is a working yacht and they all have jobs to do in order to ensure their guests enjoy their stay. With a new crew in place, it’s a trial by fire to see if they can get everything done on time and to the charter guests’ lofty expectations.

In the season 7 premiere, Captain Sandy had to quickly adjust to her all-new team in an all-new location. Thankfully, Chief Stew Natasha and Chef Dave just finished working together on a previous charter so they had experience with each other, along with great rapport and just enough sexual tension to make the prospect of sharing a cabin interesting.

Much of the supersized premiere featured the newly minted Home crew working to prepare the boat for the first charter, a tall task given that Mzi and his friend and fellow deckie Storm were stuck in quarantine in Malta. Mzi informed Sandy that they’d be a day late in joining the crew, which immediately put the team in a precarious spot as they worked to get ready for their first round of guests.

The Below Deck Med season 7 premiere had everything fans love about the series, but one crew member had everyone talking: Raygan. From the start, the new bosun looked like she was in over her head despite her years of experience on yachts.

From not being able to lift heavy suitcases to drawing the ire of the primary guest with her less-than-cheery attitude, it seemed like Raygan spent more time taking smoke breaks than doing actual work and that’s saying something considering that the Home was down two deckhands from the start. When Captain Sandy had to step in to help the deck crew, well, that’s never a good sign.

Naturally, fans are predicting that Raygan won’t be calling Home her home for long….

Will Raygan manage to get her bosun skills in ship-shape order or will she be leaving the boat early? Keep watching to find out! Below Deck Mediterranean airs Monday nights at 8 pm ET on Bravo, and will be available next day on Peacock.

UK fans can also watch Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 on Peacock with a subscription to Sky TV or NOW.  

Below Deck is taking its talents to the waters of Australia in the new spinoff Below Deck Down Under, with a new captain, a new crew and new guests to keep them entertained. Well, the entire crew won’t exactly be a group of fresh faces. There is a certain stewardess from Below Deck Mediterranean that's front and center on the show. 

Bravo has promised Below Deck Down Under "will be unlike any franchise that has come before it." Given the show was filmed with Australia's tropical Whitsunday Islands as the backdrop, Bravo is off to a good start in keeping this promise. 

Here’s everything we know about Below Deck Down Under season 1.

Below Deck Down Under season 1 premise 

Those excited to watch Below Deck Down Under season 1 should anticipate seeing guests take to the water to do a little scuba diving, a little snorkeling and even make some close encounters with marine life in the Great Barrier Reef. However, since this series has not been slated to be on a network like the Travel Channel, viewers can expect some drama. 

For starters, the young Captain Jason Chambers appears to have both the crew and the guests a bit distracted by his good looks and his gentleman charm. Then there is Aesha Scott. 

Fans of Below Deck Mediterranean will recognize Scott from seasons 4 and 5 of the show. Now that she’s been promoted to chief stew, it seems butting heads with other crew members is a regular thing for her along this voyage. 

Staying true to the Below Deck formula, there are also some regrettable kisses, explosive arguments and wild guest requests. 

Below Deck Down Under season 1 cast

Joining the Below Deck vet Aesha Scott and the modelesque Captain Chambers on Below Deck Down Under, are a number of fresh faces. Ryan McKeown serves as the chef, Tumi Mhlongo and Magda Ziomek are on hand as the stews, Jamie is aboard as a bosun and Culver Bradbury, Brittini Burton and Ben Crawley are along for the journey as deckhands.

With Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 wrapping up, Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 comes just in time for those that like their reality TV drama on the Seven Seas. 

This new season will be similar to longtime fans of the show in that Captain Sandy is again at the helm of the ship leading both guests and crew. However, what will be different this go-around is actually most of the crew. The unfamiliar faces are sure to add a refreshing twist on the now reality classic. 

However, one shouldn’t forget that no Below Deck crew is without its hint of chaos, regardless of who is working. Viewers can expect Captain Sandy’s new bunch to certainly have their fair share of lover spats and work disagreements, all while trying to balance the personalities of some unforgettable yachting guests. 

Here’s everything we know about Below Deck Mediterranean season 7.  

When is the Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 release date?  

Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 premieres with a supersized episode on Monday, July 11, at 8 pm ET/PT. The episode becomes available the next day over on Peacock. Speaking of Peacock, the streaming giant is offering subscribers early access to the premiere episode beginning on Monday, July 4. 

Below Deck fans in the UK should be able to access the new season on Peacock via both Sky TV and NOW.  

Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 premise 

Bravo describes the new season of Below Deck Mediterranean as the following: 

"Captain Sandy brings 163-foot motor yacht 'Home' to the pristine waters of Malta, one of the smallest and most historic archipelagos in the world. Different than previous charter seasons, Sandy is working with a complex hybrid vessel making it more unpredictable to navigate. To ensure smooth sailing this year, Sandy brings on a trio of new department heads, but when surprising friction in the galley intensifies between the Chief Stew and Chef, who came onto the boat as colleagues and friends, tension permeates through the entire boat. 

"Meanwhile, the deck team faces an uphill battle when one crew member is unable to adapt to the high demands of Mediterranean super-yachting, forcing others to pick up the slack. From difficult charter guests to roller-coaster ‘boatmances’ and challenges with hierarchy on board, these yachties go to unthinkable lengths to survive the charter season."

Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 cast  

There are only two familiar faces returning to the new season of Below Deck Mediterranean. One of those happens to be Mzi "Zee" Dempers. The deckhand was quick to become a fan favorite during season 6. 

The other cast member back for another yacht season is of course, Captain Sandy Yawn. What would this series be without Captain Sandy leading the crew and appeasing the charter guests? With over three decades in the industry and going on six seasons on Below Deck Mediterranean, she has done a phenomenal job at earning the respect of her yachting peers and the adoration of Bravo fans.  

Joining Dempers and Captain Sandy this season are Chief Stew Natasha Webb, Chef Dave White, Bosun Raygan Tyler, Stews Natalya Scudder and Kyle Viljoen and Deckhands Storm Smith and Jason Gaskell.

Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 trailer 

After watching the trailer, we aren’t sure whether to be more enamored with the various romantic pairings this season or the fact the yacht appears to take a few hits on the open waters. Take a look for yourself.  

By the way, now that fans of the Below Deck universe have managed to get a real sense of Captain Jason from Below Deck Down Under after his first season, we can’t but wonder who tends to be more entertaining when laying down the law, him, Captain Lee from Below Deck or Captain Sandy from Below Deck Mediterranean. Captain Lee for sure makes it crystal clear when he’s had enough of the antics from the crew or from guests. On the other hand, seeing Captain Sandy take someone to task, especially guests, is slightly more comical. What do you think? 

Check out the video below to get a friendly reminder of some of their most memorable confrontations. 

How to watch Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 

Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 airs live on Bravo in the US on Mondays. For those that have cut the cord to traditional cable/satellite television, Bravo is available on live TV streaming services such as Fubo TV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. Additionally, Peacock provides next-day streaming of each episode for premium subscribers. 

UK fans can also watch Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 on Peacock with a subscription to Sky TV or NOW.  

It's getting hot aboard the Thalassa superyacht: the Below Deck Down Under recap, the last of the series' first season, features a Mardi Gras-themed party, a lesbian vow renewal, yet another tantrum from bosun Jamie Sayed and, oh yeah, a full-on fire.

While there was a lot of hijinks in the Below Deck Down Under season 1 finale, it was that barbecue flare-up that had viewers talking, particularly about second stew Tumi Mhlongo's very relatable reaction. 

While setting up for the charter guests' "El Mardi Gay" themed night, the crew is tasked with helping out chef Nate Post prep for dinner by turning on the barbecue so he can grill up some octopus. When deckhands Brittini Burton and Benny Crawley switch the appliance on, however, it ignites a flame that rises higher than Jamie's annoyance at Taylor accidentally spilling her drink on him during the crew's finale night out. 

The pair are slightly singed, but thankfully not injured. "What the f*ck just happened?" Crawley yells. "Was the gas too on?" Burton asks. "My eyelashes are burned off, though." "It's all right, we're alive," Benny responds but is clearly shaken. 

He goes to the bridge to get the medical kit and alert Captain Jason Chambers about the incident. "Bottle gas on a boat is probably one of the most dangerous things. It could have been a lot worse than what it was," the captain says in a confessional. "Not only Benny dodged a bullet but everyone in the vicinity dodged a bullet."

One crew member who, in fact, dodged the fire was Tumi, who was near Benny taking photos of her party tablescape when the dangerous blaze occurred. The sheer speed at which she removed herself from the situation — not to mention that she didn't even pause to check on the folks behind her — had many Below Deck viewers cracking up, with several saying they would have done the exact same thing.

It's a fittingly fiery end to the first season of Below Deck Down Under, which spent many weeks circling the question of who would eventually get fired from the boat. We didn't realize they meant literally!

Fans react to that Below Deck Down Under blaze:

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 is here, and Captain Glenn Shephard is back to balancing the demands of vacationers with the drama of his crew. And let’s face it, in most instances, the baggage of his crew far outweighs the luggage of any guest. 

This season takes the show to the waters surrounding Menorca, Spain. The breathtaking views only serve as momentary interruptions to the hookups, the confrontations, the injuries and the occasional emergencies of the new season. Given the interesting dynamic that already exists between returning crew members like Daisy Kelliher and Gary King, the addition of a new chef, new stews and new deckhands make sailing anything but smooth aboard the Parsifal III.

Here’s what we know about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3. 

When is the next Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 episode?  

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 premiered on Monday, February 21. New episodes continue to air on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo TV in the US. Episodes are available the next day in the UK on Hayu, which can be included as part of a Prime Video subscription. Additionally, Peacock via Sky TV or NOW TV also offers next-day streaming for Bravo content. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is back with the first part of the season 3 reunion airing on Monday, June 27, at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo. After a tumultuous season full of drama and love triangles, it will be interesting to see what the cast has to say to one another when they face off. 

By the way, have you read why fans are grossed out by Ashely's grilled cheese feast? 

What happens on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3? 

Viewers of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2 will recall that the last time the crew was together, first mate Gary King was involved in a messy love triangle with deckhand Sydney Zaruba and stew Alli Dore. While fans of the show won’t have to worry about seeing King in a continuation of that love saga, based on the trailer, King will again find himself entangled in a romance. It appears he entangles with chief stew Daisy Kelliher of all people. While the two appeared to make amends at last year’s reunion after feuding all season 2, no one expected the two to be locking lips. 

Additionally, it should be noted that Below Deck Sailing Yacht is done with love triangles, as Bravo TV teases this season fans can expect to see a “twisted love pentagon.” More may not turn out to be merrier in this case.  

Fans of the show will also remember that Captain Glenn Shephard and his crew were involved in an accident during season 2. Season 3 shows how Captain Shephard has been able to bounce back from the incident while also trying to avoid another potentially disastrous event.  

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 cast 

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 includes returning crew Captain Glenn Shephard, chief stew Daisy Kelliher, chief engineer Colin MacRae and first mate Gary King. These members are joined by chef Marcos Spaziani, second stew Gabriela Barragan, third stew Ashley Marti, as well as deckhands Kelsie Goglia and Tom Pearson.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 looks like it’s not light on the conflict or surprised hookups.  

For those needing more details about that kiss between Gary and Daisy, hear from Daisy herself as she provides a little more insight on their involvement.

Who's leaving Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

It looks like everyone's favorite Below Deck chef is calling it quits. Marcos Spaziani recently took to Twitter to announce that he has no plans on returning for another season. 

 Bravo fans have come to expect shocking moments in the Below Deck franchise, and the show continues to deliver on those expectations. Normally the jaw-dropping moments come from the crew or the crazy guests, but in the Below Deck Med season 7 trailer, it’s Captain Sandy who can’t hold back on dropping an f-bomb. 

Sandy Yawn has been with the Below Deck Med series for six seasons, making her debut as the first female captain in season 2. Captain Sandy is one of the most levelheaded of the Below Deck skippers, so when she loses her cool you know that something’s gone horribly wrong. 

In this case, the trailer reveals that there’s a new boat — a 163-foot motor yacht, Home — most of the season 7 crew is new and they’re in a new location for the series, Malta. That combination usually leads to trouble. 

At one point Captain Sandy is attempting to dock between a series of buoys and someone calls out on the radio that she has three meters to maneuver. Unfortunately for Sandy, there’s actually less than a meter and the brand-new boat grates up against it, leaving an angry black scratch along the hull. 

Sandy, who proudly boasted in previous seasons that she’s never hit anything, just hit a buoy. “F–k,” she says. We can’t blame her. There’s not a lot else you can say in that kind of situation. 

The buoy incident is just one of the many shocking moments featured in the trailer. There are romances and problems with the guests and fights between crew members and boatloads of tension — sexual and otherwise. There’s also some rough water. At one point the boat is rocking so hard that everything is thrown around and crew members go flying. 

Mzi "Zee" Dempers returns as a deckhand after appearing with Captain Sandy in season 6. Everyone else in the crew is new this season — chief stew Natasha Webb, bosun Raygan Tyler (who replaces Malia White in the role), chef David White, stews Natalya Scudder and Kyle Viljoen and deckhands Storm Smith and Jason Gaskell. 

Shocking moments, you say? Yes, there are plenty of those on the horizon in Below Deck Med season 7, premiering July 11 on Bravo in the US and on Sky TV in the UK. New episodes will be available a week early on Peacock.  

We're not the only ones sad to see Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 end — viewers were quick to take to social media after this week's finale episode to pour one out (albeit not from a magnum of Veuve Cliquot) for who they're calling the "best crew ever" in the history of the Below Deck franchise. 

The end of this charter season has Below Deck devotees questioning which season 3 crew members we'll be seeing when the Parsifal III opens its sails yet again, and Monday night's finale gave us some clues. 

We can safely rule in first mate Gary King, who, like the end of last season, stayed aboard with Captain Glenn Shepherd for the boat's crossing after filming. We'd also put money on the return of beloved chief stew Daisy Kelliher, if only so fans could get more intel about all those Gary and Daisy dating rumors. And we wouldn't be surprised if chief engineer, resident voice of reason and fellow Sailing Yacht season 2 alum Colin MacRae joins the flirty twosome if the show comes back for a fourth season.

However, the third member of the boys' "Giggle Club," chef Marcos Spaziani — whose cooking skills, disposition and work ethic scored the crew their biggest tip of the season — is not looking like a safe bet for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4. 

Despite being the clear fan favorite of all this season's newcomers, Spaziani reveals to Captain Glenn in the finale episode that he received news from his business partner that an investor is interested in opening a restaurant with them. That restaurant is Marlou in downtown Los Angeles, which according to Instagram is keeping Spaziani busy. Too busy to join his Below Deck buddies next time around? We'll just have to stay tuned. 

Multiple crewmates departed the Parsifal III early, one of their own accord and one terminated by Captain Glenn: second stew Gabriela Barragan and deckhand Tom Pearson. It will be interesting to see if the two newbies are given a second chance at reality TV stardom, or if they're both gone with the wind. 

Fans praise season 3 Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast:

Here's who Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans want to see return next season:

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 premiered on Monday, February 21. New episodes continue to air on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo TV in the US. Episodes are available the next day in the UK on Hayu, which can be included as part of a Prime Video subscription. 

One Below Deck Sailing Yacht fan said it best: "Super sad that this season is over. Super glad seeing Ashley drunkenly shovel food into her face is over."

Yes, another episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3, another scene of newly promoted "lead stew" Ashley Marti absolutely demolishing a drunken feast in the crew mess after a night out. While her last gourmet victim was a Tupperware of leftover spaghetti, this week's was a not-so-simple grilled cheese sandwich. 

While the rest of the Parsifal III crew celebrated the end of their charter season with a little jacuzzi session and guitar-led singalong up on deck, a very intoxicated Ashley takes it upon herself to "make twenty grilled cheese" with a George Foreman grill at two in the morning.

"I don't know what's going on," she says as she tries to slice blocks of cheese. She quickly gives that up and, instead, tears chunks of cheese with her bare hands. "I'm going to tell you this much right now: this ain't going to be cute," she slurs. "This is really bad. I'm trying, guys, I'm trying." 

"You're a cavewoman, definitely," chef Marcos Spaziani exclaims when the rest of the crew joins Marti in the crew mess. "This is a disgusting meal. What the f*ck is it?" he says while recording the gross, gooey ordeal on his phone. 

When he points out that she has butter on her breasts, which she tries to lick off, Marcos tells her: "Ashley, go to bed now."

A mere few hours later, Captain Glenn Shephard wakes Marti and the rest of the Parsifal III crew up on their final morning to start packing and, yes, clean up after themselves. 

"Holy sh*t! What the f*ck happened here?" Captain proclaims when he gets an eyeful of the cheese-covered crew quarters. "You guys need to clean up this crew mess. It looks like the Hindenburg crashed into the Titanic. It's f*cking bad."

"Oh man," Ashley groans, peeling herself out of her bunk. "Holy...oh!" she says once she sees the fromage damage she caused the night prior. "Vile, vile, vile. I am repulsed."

Fans react to Ashley's Below Deck grilled cheese feast:

Ashley wasn't the only one grossed out by her grilled-cheese massacre. Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans had plenty to say about that crew-mess mess. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 premiered on Monday, February 21. New episodes continue to air on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo TV in the US. Episodes are available the next day in the UK on Hayu, which can be included as part of a Prime Video subscription. 

What a journey, folks: Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 has come to an end, but those Gary and Daisy Below Deck dating rumors are living on thanks to a tension-filled finale episode between the Parsifal III's first mate and chief stew. 

The crew had plenty to celebrate in this last regular episode of season 3 (don't fret —a reunion episode will take place next week), scoring a $20,000 tip and a magnum of Veuve Cliquot for the boat's final charter and a whopping $160,500 in total gratuity over the entire charter season. And yet only one thing is on anyone's mind: is Gary heading to Daisy or Scarlett's bed?

Yes, crewmates and viewers alike are curious about the messy love triangle (quadrangle if you count newly promoted "lead stew" Ashley Marti) between Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and third stew Scarlett Bentley, but it looks like after weeks of will-they, won't-they, Gary's eyes are zoom-focused on Daisy in this week's episode. 

During the last crew supper, Gary reveals that his high moment of the season is his relationship with Daisy. "Coming up from last season, we’ve just got along like a house on fire, and you and I are closer than ever and it’s meant a lot to me," Gary says. Kelliher reveals that her high was the waterfront wedding from last week's Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 episode 16, telling the group: "It honestly made me feel like there might be true love out there. "Hello? Hello!" Gary jokingly yells from the other end of the table.

When later asked by deckhand Barnaby Birkbeck about her current status with Gary, Daisy asserts she hasn't slept with Gary. However, that doesn't stop the chief stew from engaging in some serious flirtation with the first mate when the crew returns to the boat for a little hot-tub action. 

"So for once, can me and you, one time in our life..." Daisy starts. "Have sex?" Gary jokingly replies quickly. "Where are we meeting? Starboard or port? You tell me."

The flirty comments continue between the tipsy twosome until Gary tells her "You change into something dry and then we're gonna go sleep in the guest cabin and spoon," but not before carrying Daisy into her cabin and laying down in bed with her. Daisy's roommate, deckhand Kelsie Goglia, walks in and ends the amorous moment. "I have no clue what's going on but I'm hoping they move out of my way soon so I can go to sleep," she says in a confessional.

"Mine and Gary's relationship is so complicated, I don't think we actually feel anything for each other," Daisy later tells Kelsie. "I'm glad everyone went to bed."

Only a few short hours later, Captain Glenn is waking up the crew to clean his galley kitchen (you don't even want to know what food-related mess Ashley got up to), pack their bags and deboard the boat. Everyone emotionally says their goodbyes, with producers naturally leaving Gary and Daisy's farewell for last, the former telling the latter: "I want our relationship to keep growing and growing."

"I think my relationship with Daisy has come a long way from last season," King says in a confessional. "The sexual tension is undeniable...maybe one day."

Here's to next season!

Fans react to Gary and Daisy Below Deck dating rumors:

Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been shown every Monday at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo in the US and on Hayu the next day in the UK.

The Below Deck Down Under crew has had their fair share of wild vacationers, from the demanding charter guests of Below Deck Down Under episode 5 who wanted to restyle the yacht to their taste, to last week's primary, Jourdi, who snogged deckhand Culver Bradbury during a night out.

But the Thalassa crew might have just gotten their drunkest guests yet during the penultimate episode of Below Deck Down Under season 1, thanks to primary Charity King — who is celebrating her "recent marriage, the launch of her new company, her birthday AND Gay Pride Month," per her very detailed preference sheet — and her margarita-loving girlfriends.

"We are some thirsty bitches!" the group, clad in matching white frocks, announces before boarding the super yacht. And they weren't joking. On the first afternoon of their voyage, the guests order round after round of spicy margaritas, regular margaritas, lychee martinis, apple martinis — you name it, they drank it. 

The bikini-clad girls rope the male deckhands into joining them down the boat's slide and onto the back of jet skis. "I've never had a charter like this," says deckhand Benny Crawley in a confessional. "Let's just say it would be easy to get in trouble with these girls... you've got to hold 'em back with metaphorical sticks."

The liquored-up messiness makes its way into the interior, where one of the clients spills an espresso martini all over the carpet of their absolutely trashed guest cabins. "God, these people are so hectic!" chief stew Aesha Scott exclaims. 

"These guests drink so much, you can smell it in their breath," second stew Tumi Mhlongo says in a confessional. By the time evening rolls around, the charter guests are substantially sloshed. "If they make it through dinner, I'll be shocked," Tumi tells the interior crew. 

The gals do eventually make it to the dinner table, but not before wandering into the galley kitchen to annoy Chef Nate Post while he's working. "I really need to perform tonight, to start the charter on a good note, but if you have guests this intoxicated, you never know what's going to happen. It may very well be a sh*tshow," Nate worries in a talking head. "I think they're going to enjoy [the meal] if they're, you know, awake." 

Some of the guests spend more time making out with each other at dinner and flirting with Captain Jason Chambers than actually eating the meal in front of them. "Poor Nate has put so much time and effort into these beautiful dishes, and everyone is so drunk, no one gives a f*ck," Aesha says. 

Two guests went rogue and mosied into the captain's seat of the boat, honking the yacht's horn and shouting "Titanic!" and "Full steam ahead!" Naturally, Captain Jason lightly admonishes them and guides them to their rooms. "I've been a captain for a long time and I've had to deal with a lot of drunken guests, and, you know, there's an art to it," he says. "It's a bit of a mind trick. You coerce them into the exit, you make them think it's their idea."

Though captain does add the next morning: "I wanted to lock my door last night." 

Below Deck Down Under crew "spiraling" because of wasted guests:

This week's Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 episode 16 featured a tall order for our crew of the Parsifal III: their first guest wedding. Not only a guest wedding but a guest wedding on a beach. And if you're even a casual viewer of Below Deck, you know that beach set-ups rarely go smoothly, and this one was no exception. 

In the penultimate episode of season 3, the crew welcomes engaged couple Allegra Gray and Gabe Szczepanek and their friends as the season's final charter guests. From the get-go, the guests were a bit more high-maintenance than usual, as their gluten-free dietary restrictions proved to be chef Marcos Spaziani's toughest preference sheet yet. And that was before he even got to the hardest bit: a three-tiered gluten-free wedding cake. 

The crew — most of whom were severely hungover from the night before, with several sleeping well past their start time (hi, Marcos and Colin) — rallied to make sure they ended the charter season on a high note and gave Allegra and Gabe the beachside nuptials of their dreams. But the wedding gods had other plans.

When first mate Gary King, chief engineer Colin MacRae and junior stew Ashley Marti boat over to the Menorca beach that Captain Glenn Shepard chose as the perfect spot for the intimate wedding, the busy marina is filled with sunbathers and swimmers. "What the f*ck?" Colin exclaims upon arrival. "They should just get married on the boat."

"There's a f*ckload of people on this beach and I don't want to f*ck up these people's wedding," Ashley says in a confessional. 

"F*cking hell, this is the worst day," Gary concurs. 

But Captain Glenn told the deckhands before they left, "Set up as wide an area as possible to discourage people from coming too close," so that's what they do, even as bikini-clad vacationers frolic around both sand and surf. They pop a white tent to cover the drink station and plunk some artificial floral arrangements into the sand. The whole rushed set-up "looks like a Halloween prank," Colin says, and frankly, he's not wrong.

At least the bride-to-be looks like a wedding magazine cover girl, in an elaborate gown from New York's famous Kleinfeld Bridal. "I went with a very subtle look," Allegra jokes. The formal frock does make deboarding the tender quite difficult, with Colin having to carry the bride onto the beach. 

The ceremony itself is a sweet affair, with Captain Glenn officiating and Colin providing some procession music on his guitar, though people creeping on the event from nearby kayaks probably wasn't what the bride and groom had in mind for their intimate exchanging of vows.

At the end of it all, the bride throws the bouquet—which chief stew Daisy Kelliher catches, causing her on-again, off-again smooch partner Gary to throw himself into the ocean and yell, "I'm not marrying you, Daisy!"

You didn't think just because Captain Jason Chambers fired a few people during Below Deck Down Under episode 14 that the drama was finally over, did you? This week's primary guest, a 30-year-old birthday girl named Jourdi, made sure to serve up just enough drunken shenanigans to keep things interesting. 

Ironically, Jourdi started off the charter proclaiming that she doesn't consume alcohol, warning: "When I'm drinking, I'm a little bit of a 'let loose b*tch.'" She threw that abstinence away very quickly during the penultimate charter of Below Deck Down Under season 1, downing alcohol throughout the trip and, yes, letting loose. 

After one dinner, Jourdi and her brother Teft decide to continue the evening in the yacht's hot tub — with both stripping down to their Calvins and taking a topless dip. "She's in her birthday suit!" deckhand Brittini Burton exclaims when coming across the soaking siblings. 

"Wait, Teft is her brother. What the f*ck?" Burton says in a confessional. "If I showed my brother my t*ts, my brother would f*cking freak out...this is f*cking insane."

The siblings are then seen FaceTiming their father — again, both half nude — and telling him, "We're on a boat, b*tch!"

"Hi, so they are both in the jacuzzi. She is topless, it's f*cking weird..." Brittini tells new stewardess Taylor Dennison, who replaced Magda Ziomek last episode. "Dude, I think this needs to be their last drink of the night. I don't want them to be doing something they'll regret."

Taylor is similarly perplexed by the siblings' behavior. "I just don't understand. Like topless with my 16-year-old brother, my parents would kill me!" she says in a talking head. 

Another one of Jourdi's drunken hijinks rankles Brittini: her flirting, and later kissing, deckhand Culver Bradbury, who Burton has been crushing on all charter season. 

Bradbury has a history of getting a bit too intimate with charter guests, joining several previous vacationers in the hot tub a few charters back. In this case, he and Jourdi exchange Instagram handles upon the charter's end and later they meet up on the crew's night out on the town, dancing intimately and then, yes, smooching at the bar, much to Brittini's chagrin. 

"I get it now...that's why we don't give her alcohol!" chief stew Aesha Scott says of Jourdi. 

"Culver is flirting with Jourdi. Maybe he's doing it to rebel, maybe he's doing it to feel more confident with the girls. Like, he's using it for something and that disappoints me, because it doesn't really add up to what I'm used to seeing from him," Brittini says in a confessional. 

"He's kissing Jourdi!" the crewmates proclaim as they watch on. "This is bad, this is bad," the primary says. But how bad will the repercussions of Jourdi and Culver's make-out be next week? Stay tuned!

This week's Below Deck Sailing Yacht primary Lane Merrifield has quickly become a favorite with fans: not only did the tech tycoon leave the biggest tip of the season—off the strength of chef Marcos Spaziani's cooking—but he and the rest of his Canadian party proved to be the polite but party-ready guests that the Parsifal III crew could only dream of. 

The charter wasn't without its hardships: the windy weather proved too severe for sailing and caused the anchor to drag, chef Marcos was grieving the loss of his best friend's mother all while trying to navigate a multi-course molecular gastronomy feast for the guests, and Ashley Marti was, well, Ashley. 

But Merrifield—a tech entrepreneur behind Club Penguin, the largest children's online social network—and his pals never bemoaned any of the setbacks and instead had an overall positive outlook and sense of humor throughout the whole charter, including the crew mates in activities like a "sailors versus pirates" relay race and a "hurricane" drinking game.

The former involved the guests and the crew dividing into teams of two to race around a buoy, paddleboard to the ship and rush into the hot tub, with Captain Glenn as the referee. The Below Deck cast managed to eke out a win and took home The Seaman's Cup. 

Later, Merrifield and the guests invited the stewardesses to help with "hurricane" shots, which involved each male charter guest getting splashed with a cup of water and slapped in the face by a female crewmate after downing a shot of alcohol.

The Canadian vacationers had such a good time onboard that they let a whopping $23,000 tip or $2,555 per crew mate. 

"I'm not biased whatsoever, but these guests were probably the classiest, funniest, kindest group of people we had," fellow Canuck Captain Glenn said to the crew about Merrifield and company. "Canadians have a reputation..." he joked. 

What fans are saying about Lane Merrifield & Co:

It looks like Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans agreed with Captain Glenn's assessment of this week's charter guests, with one Twitter user calling them "the best guests ever to be on any below deck franchise, any season, hands down."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo TV in the US. 

Episodes are available the next day in the UK on Hayu, which can be included as part of a Prime Video subscription. Additionally, Peacock via Sky TV or NOW TV also offers next-day streaming for Bravo content. 

At the end of last week's episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3, Marcos Spaziani got some tragic news from back home: his best friend's mother died unexpectedly, a personal loss that took a toll on the yacht chef. But alas, the charter must go on and the guests must be fed.

And fed they were, with a preference sheet that included a multi-course feast inspired by molecular gastronomy—that fussy foodie discipline that marries high-end dining with chemical tinkering—to be joined by Captain Glenn Shephard. Add to that the fact that supremely windy weather meant that the Parsifal III couldn't actually sail, putting more pressure on the interior crew.

However, like he previously did when dealing with a bloody head injury, Marcos from Below Deck Sailing Yacht powered through the charter's setbacks to deliver truly memorable food for primary guest Lane Merrifield and the rest of his party. 

"I’m going to be keeping an eye out, my friend, because I expect to see the words ‘Michelin star’ somewhere next to your name very soon," Lane told Marcos before getting off the boat. "Every dish totally redeemed the wind and the weather."

Merrifield proved his satisfaction with a hefty tip, the biggest of the season: $23,000, or $2,555 per crew mate. Take that, Charles Sanders!

"The biggest tip of the season, even though we didn't move the boat? I think I'm going to have drinks tonight." Marcos celebrated in a confessional. 

However, the good vibes for Spaziani didn't last long, as, during a preference-sheet meeting for the following charter, the chef learned that he would have to make a multi-tiered, celiac-friendly cake for an onboard wedding. It wasn't surprising when Marcos finally broke down. 

"Gluten-free, dairy-free and a wedding cake?" Marcos said during a talking head. “I’m emotionally destroyed. I’m stressed. I’m tired. This is ridiculous. This is too much."

“This is the first time in the whole season that I’m thinking I’m not going to pull it off. It’s that serious," he later revealed. "I may have reached my limit, and now I’m in a glass of water ready to drown.”

Sensing his despair, concerned chief stew Daisy Kelliher talked to him one-on-one during a crew dinner and tries to ease his worries. "You're an incredible chef and to see you so low makes my heart break," she told him, hugging him as the tears came. "It's a lot going on. I'm a human," he told her. 

Will Marcos make it through the final charter of the season?

Fans are seriously impressed by chef Marcos Spaziani:

Despite his weariness and worries, fans were very taken with Marcos' work ethic and his ability to deliver high-luxury meals in the midst of all of his mourning. 

The question of the season — who gets fired on Below Deck Down Under? — has finally been answered. Below Deck Down Under episode 14 sees multiple crewmates of the Thalassa super-yacht get let go, but who exactly gets the boot? Would it be Benny Crawley, whose attitude has ruffled feathers onboard, or fellow deckhand Brittini Burton, whose pottymouth seriously displeased bosun Jamie Sayed?

Well, the end of the last week's episode saw Captain Jason Chambers dismiss third stew Magda Ziomek, due to her perpetually messy laundry room, lack of five-star service experience and being forever glued to her boyfriend's texts on her phone. Chambers then went into the galley to chat with Chef Ryan McKeown — and then the credits rolled, leaving viewers on a cliffhanger.

Thankfully, Thursday's episode picked right up where we left off. "Listen mate, we've tried to get to a point where we can actually get the service [up] and so we've had to let Mags go," Captain Jason told McKeown. "And the food, we've tried to get that wow factor going but with the guests' feedback, I'm gonna have to let you go, mate."

"Love it," McKeown sarcastically responded. 

"Yeah, we're moving on and we wish you the best," Chambers released him.

In terms of crew response, chief stew Aesha Scott — who has had friction with both Ziomek and McKeown throughout the season — told Tumi about the chef, "I'm so happy. I don't have to look at his face anymore, hallelujah!" But she did say, "I am sad about her though," regarding her fellow stew. 

As for fellow department head, Jamie Sayed, he said he understood the captain's reasoning for firing Ryan, but not Magda, especially because he feels some of his deckhands were more deserving of dismissal. "Brittini's been disrespectful to me, Benny's f***ed up so many times. It's like Jamie respects Aesha more as a chief stew than me as a bosun," the bosun said in a confessional. 

You'd think that the firings would bring an end to the drama, but this is Below Deck Down Under we're talking about. While packing in the crew cabins, Ryan and Magda commiserate about their firings — with the former loudly talking smack about the captain. 

"Captain's a f***ing vagina," Ryan exclaims, with Chambers overhearing. "He's the only f***ing critic on the f***ing boat."

"Ryan, if you can't leave with grace, I'm gonna put a time limit on you [to pack]. 25 minutes max," the captain told him. When Ryan started backtalking to him, Chambers snapped: "Don't start with me... what you're showing now is your backstabbing attitude. Be as graceful as your partner over here," he says, referring to Magda. 

"[Captain] told me to stay in contact. Yeah, probably not gonna happen," Ryan said in a confessional. His parting gift? Mooning the crew as he departed the dock. 

Magda Ziomek, however, has a different reaction to the firing. "I wish I could be more like, 'F*** it, whatever,' but I'm not," she said in a confessional. "I know I f***ed up. My relationship and the work doesn't go together. I need to come back to myself."

She disembarked the yacht on a sweeter, sillier note, telling Captain Jason: "You're so beautiful in and out... and if I would be single, goddamn it!"

The episode sees a new chef and a new stewardess joining the charter — here's hoping things are smoother sailing from here on out.
