'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 4: Who is Jim Blumenthal? Crew work hard to entertain returning charter guest

DENVER, COLORADO: 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 4 is ready to serve another primary charter guest. This time, the crew members are not expected to have much trouble adjusting to the new guests as it is going to be someone they know. 

Now that the 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 4 cast members do not need to worry about the guest, there is another crisis looming in Episode 7. Parsifal III had an engine failure in Episode 1, and the boat will once again land in trouble with the same problem. Until the release of the new episode, let us take a look at the new primary charter guest.

Who is Jim Blumenthal?

Jim Blumenthal is a businessman based in Boulder, Colorado. His LinkedIn profile says he is the president of Trailer Source, JC Three Development and RPM Motorsports. He opened the first Trailer Source store in Denver in 2013. According to RV Pro , Blumenthal said about hsi company, "We’re a rapidly expanding company that’s been able to hold on to our important family values. When we come across an area where a dealer doesn’t value its customers, then it’s easy pickings. It’s easy for some dealers to think that they’re the only game in town and often they treat their customers that way." 

Blumenthal studied Business Administration and Management at Colorado State University. Just like real estate and sports, he is also equally involved in traveling across the country. He loves to hunt and travel, and spends a lot of time with his longtime girlfriend Veronica Morris.

Will Jim Blumenthal be disappointed?

This is not Blumenthal's first time on 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht'. He has previously appeared on the Bravo's show in Season 3. He and his girlfriend were great charter guests the last time. Therefore, the crew and viewers expect the same this time. However, the guests will face some issues. The official synopsis of Episode 7 states, "Another engine issue emerges, forcing Capt. Glenn to keep the returning guests entertained." 

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 4 releases new episodes every Monday at 8 pm ET on Bravo.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 Episode 8 Recap: Seafood-Palooza and Bouncing Body Parts

When last we left Below Deck Sailing Yacht , the Parsifal III was finally able to sail after Chief Engineer Colin MacRae fixed the engine for the second time this season .

“I don’t think I’ve ever had this much engine trouble with guests on board in my career,” Captain Glenn Shephard  commented. “Hopefully it’s the last [time], knock on wood.” And he did that thing we all do and knocked his knuckles on his head. Funny, Glenn.

As Glenn was looking for a safe place to anchor for the night, stews Lucy Edmunds and Madison “Mads” Herrera worried about what talents they could bring to the evening’s guest-requested talent show. Lucy laughed she could do cheerleader moves, “Go, Tigers!”

“How the f*** are we supposed to top last year’s talent show?” Chief Stew  Daisy Kelliher asked. In case you don’t remember, production kindly inserted a clip from last year’s show. Daisy and one of the other stews did a little dance, Colin played an original song on his guitar and First Mate  Gary King  did a strip tease. Captain Glenn said he could “crack some jokes. That’s all I can do.” Oh, I remember Glenn’s dad jokes. So bad.

Finally, Colin told Daisy, “I’ll make up a song in like the next hour.”

“But you’re Mr. Amazing, apparently,” Daisy giggled. “You can do it all … according to everyone!”

Gary creates a conflict among his crew

“I need to have a little word with [deckhand] Alex [Propson] ,” Gary told Colin. “I just don’t know what was happening last night. Chase [Lemacks] came to me and complained. He was like, ‘I’m going to speak to Alex.’ And I said, ‘No, you’re not.'” Gary’s Alex’s boss, not you. Calm down, Chase.

On the first day, Gary had told both his deckhands when they have anchor watch, “Leave the boat how you want the boat to be left to you. The more you do, the less he’s got to do. And it’s going to work in your favor for when he’s on night watch.” But it didn’t look as if Alex had rinsed anywhere, even though we saw him doing it in the last episode.

As Alex struggled to take the flag down, he complimented Chase on the bowline knot he’d tied it up with, “Nice job, dude!”

But Chase was still annoyed that Gary wouldn’t let him “have a conversation” with Alex about what a mess the boat was when he turned it over that morning. It’s not your job, dude. Let it go.

At that moment, Gary arrived and pulled Alex aside for a chat. “What happened last night, bro?” the first mate asked. “The boat looked like absolute sh** this morning.”

“You’re serious?” Alex was shocked. “I spent like six hours on it. What looked like sh** this morning?”

“Mainly the anchor pocket,” Gary told him. “And everything around there on the list … Scuppers, everything, bro. Glenn commented on the flybridge also.” Alex admitted that he’d forgotten the anchor pocket.

“I just think it was very unfair on Chase for you to leave the boat like that,” Gary continued.

When Alex agreed with him, Gary added, “I know it wasn’t your intention … [Chase] was claiming laziness. And I’m like, Alex isn’t that lazy, so I don’t think so.” Now Gary’s let it out of the bag that it was Chase who ratted him out. Way to throw His Contrariness under the bus. And as production rolled the earlier scene for us, it was clear that Chase never said any such thing about “laziness.” Uh oh.

“That’s honestly like f***ing shocking,” Alex responded.

Then Gary backed the bus up and ran over Chase a couple more times, “He thought you were just sitting doing f*** all the whole night, so he was f***ing livid. And he was like, ‘F*** this!'” Does Gary have early-onset dementia or something? That’s not what happened at all. Is he trying to start a war between his deckies?

“F*** me, seriously?” Alex interviewed. “I feel like I’m working really, really hard. So I don’t know why Chase is attacking me behind my back. If you’re upset about things, Chase, come talk to me,” which is what Chase wanted to do in the first place. Maybe he had the right idea after all. Gary really f***ed that up. Meanwhile, the man in question was innocently enjoying his dinner, unaware that his boss had just thoroughly wound up his co-worker and sent him off in his direction, steaming mad. Nice move, Gary. What do you call that leadership style ? Darwin’s Survival of the Nitwits?

As Chase headed down to his cabin for a nap, he passed Alex in the mess. “Goodnight, Chase,” Alex mumbled. “Good night, my friend,” a clueless Chase called back, oblivious to the fact that his “friend” was internally planning the best way to murder him in his sleep.

Cheffie creates a seafood-palooza, while Gary does some “fishing” of his own

The guests had requested a seafood dinner for night two, so Chef Ileisha Dell was cooking up a fabulous meal of lobster tails, oysters, whole-baked snapper, fresh fish and grilled prawns. “I’m gonna smash it!” she predicted. I’m sure she will. Her food so far seems to be right on point.

When Gary overheard Alex and Mads bantering (flirting) in the salon, he immediately called from the bridge, “What’re you up to? Come hang.”

Though she’d rather stay and get to know Alex, she knew Gary had rank, so answered his call. “Sounds like you’re busy,” she told the first mate, trying to make it a short visit.

“No, no, no,” Gary insisted. “I’m never too busy for you.” Muttering “over it” under his breath, Alex took his cue to exit.

Gary got right to the point, “You know you’re gorgeous, eh?” Trying to hurry the conversation along, Mads asked, “What did you want to speak about?”

“Now that we’ve hooked up twice,” Gary reminded her, “I just wanted to know what you want out of it. If you want a casual hookup, by all means, I’m down for that.” Really, Gary? Are you pressing the girl to define the relationship already? It’s a bit early for a DTR. We know you just want to get laid, and she’d really rather be with Alex if he could only stay sober long enough.

“I’m fine with [a casual hookup],” she said. When he accused her of flirting with everyone else, she answered, “I’m not flirting. I can’t hold Alex’s hand? To me, that’s very friendly. That’s not, like, intimate.” Girl just wants to keep her options open, but Gary wants to lock her down.

“Uh uh,” he told her. “That’s a bit [too] intimate.”

In a production interview, Mads said, “I don’t know Gary’s expectations, but I like to enjoy myself. And just because we hooked up, that doesn’t necessarily mean now we’re settling down for life.” Back with Gary, she tried to make it clear, “This isn’t serious.” But the giggle may have undermined her intent. “Sorry, I’m a f***ing bitch.”

Mads had no intention of letting Gary tell her what to do. “I’ll flirt with Alex if I want to,” she insisted. Good girl. Gary is not your boss. But he’s Alex’s, and Alex is intimidated by him. So there’s that.

Gary and Colin were writing a song for the talent show. They were saying that Alex has “hair like spaghetti … How do you rhyme something with ‘deckie?'” How about “good hair like Becky?” See I’m a great songwriter. They should’ve asked me. I’m a whiz at parodies, too.

The 2nd Annual Big Jim Talent Show

At the talent show, Glenn was up first. His “talent” was telling Dad jokes. Badly. “I went to the zoo last week, and all they had was one fluffy little dog … it was a shih tzu.” Okay, I laughed. I’m a sucker for a good Dad joke.

Chase’s “talent” was catching things with his mouth. He should do that more often. It would keep him from talking so much.

Mads and Lucy did cheerleader moves for their talent, while Lucy showed off her boobs’ amazing ability to move independently of each other. Alex was jealous. “Is that even a talent? Like, I can do that, too!” Nobody wants to see you move your boobies, Alex. Meanwhile, legions of women have paid their way through law school working in strip clubs.

Mads, Lucy, Ileisha and Daisy did an Irish jig and eventually involved the guests in their dancing. Having composed a song about the guests last year, Colin announced that he and Alex were singing one this year about the crew. “Gary is the first mate, there’s no girl that he won’t date … Alex is the deckie, his hair is like spaghetti … Thanks for joining us, it’s great to have you back. Please keep your clothes on, Jim, no one wants to see your crack.” It was cute, and the guests loved it.

A meeting of the deck crew

With the conclusion of the talent show, the guests were off to bed, and Gary invited his crew to the hot tub for an impromptu meeting. Alex apologized for the way the boat looked that morning and promised he was going to work a lot harder overnight.

“Dude, don’t say it to me like I’m your boss,” Chase told him. “The only problem [I had] is Glenn comes out and he’s like, ‘The boat looks like sh**,’ and I feel like an ass.”

Alex claimed that he really took his time cleaning, but Chase assured him, “I’m not the kind of guy to be pissed about some dumb sh** like that.” Flashback to Gary telling Alex that Chase was “f***ing livid” about him “doing f*** all the whole night.”

“I know you’re not trying to screw me,” Chase told his co-worker. “I fully believe you, bro. We’re chillin’.”

I think that’s where the penny dropped for Alex. “From what I can tell,” Alex interviewed, “either Chase isn’t that fired up about it, or maybe Gary was instigating some drama. It just seems like somebody’s not telling the truth.” I’ll take door number two for $500, Alex.

At the end of their little chat, Chase went off to bed, and Gary put his arm around Alex’s shoulders, all friendly. “Just make sure the boat’s clean tomorrow morning, okay?” he repeated. “I’ve got faith in you, bru.”

The next morning when Chase asked Alex how his night went, Alex told him, “I didn’t stop moving, man. The boat should be perfect.”

“Tag, you’re out,” Chase said, as they slapped hands. And Alex went off to bed.

When Gary came up on deck, he exclaimed, “Woo hoo, the boat looks good this morning. I’m happy. Sh**, Alex, good job.”

Drop-off Day

It’s Drop-off Day! Colin and Gary were looking forward to some fun at the end of the charter. “Everyone’s ready for some carnage,” Colin claimed.

“I’m gonna have a chat with Mads tonight and see where I stand,” Gary told his buddy. Didn’t you already try to do that, Gary? You’re not hearing what she’s telling you. Does she have to write you a letter? “I don’t think she takes me seriously, to be honest.” Oh, she takes you seriously, all right. She’s seriously just not that into you. She likes your deckie, Alex.

“I want to fall in love also,” the first mate continued. “So badly. It just doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen.”

“I think Gary’s all talk,” Colin said in an interview. “I’ve heard all of this before. What we’re dealing with is a stage five clingage.” Colin has a way with words, doesn’t he? Nailed it.

“Mads isn’t just completely giving in to all of his shenanigans,” Colin observed. “It’s kind of funny.” When Gary assured him he wasn’t going to hook up with another chick, Colin asked him, “Yeah, how much you wanna bet?” Colin knows his buddy well.

A tricky docking situation requires all hands on deck

When the Parsifal III arrived at the dock, the boats already there had left very little space for the sailboat. Gary called for the interior crew to come outside and help handle fenders to keep from touching the boats on either side of them. It’s precarious docking in such a narrow space.

As Glenn explained, “I can do a lot of damage with this boat. If I get ground lines stuck under the rudder, I’m gonna be pulling these guys into me. If I push in too fast or too hard, I can pop their stern lines. Focus is absolutely critical.” That’s why you make the big bucks, Skipper.

It was a really tight fit. Of course, Chase being the classy guy he is, piped up with, “That’s what she said!” Har har.

Finally, Glenn was able to “shuffle his way” into the slip, with the help of nearly all the crew and lots of bumpers. The lines were tossed and tied. The fenders were wedged so tightly, they squeaked like balloons under pressure of popping. A masterful job. Well done, Cap!

“You couldn’t afford a bigger dock?” Charter guest Jim quipped. “Zip up your pants, Veronica. It’s time to go.” Jim must be exhausting to live with. Everything’s a joke.

“It’s a small tip,” Jim told them at the dock, as he clutched, not one, but two fat envelopes in his hand. “It won’t really go very far. But you know, it’s all ones, ’cause I usually spend them at the strip bar. So, farewell to you all, and I love you is what I will say.” In the end, he was very sweet, despite all the kidding around.

“I miss them already,” Chase admitted. So do I. The next guests surely won’t be as nice. Back to work!

Chase is really annoying

As the crew started their turnaround cleaning, Glenn called them to the “Saloon” for the Tip Meeting. “Just when you think we’re about to have an easy charter,” he told them, “something can always go wrong. Colin, never a dull moment … once again, you saved the charter, dude.”

“Daisy and interior, it’s fun to watch you guys gel,” he continued. “I think it’s a real testament to your leadership … I’ve noticed a marked improvement. For sure.”

“So the tip amount in US dollars: $27,500,” the captain finally announced. “That works out in euros to just shy of $2700 each.” Nice. Everyone was very happy with that.

“Love them,” Ileisha said. “Plus, I am so happy Glenn has started giving compliments to me, but honestly, I’m just so exhausted, mentally and physically.” It’s a high-pressure job, Cheffie. You’re killing it, but you need a couple of days off. Have a fun night out and sleep late tomorrow.

Chase is soooooo socially awkward. Again and again, he just says and does the weirdest, most abrasive things. Even the girls were getting tired of his antics. “He’s so obnoxious already,” Mads said. “He’s, like, on 10.” I’d say more like 12.

As Gary was in the salon trying to tempt Daisy with a shot, Chase had already started drinking and was outside shouting, “Gary!”

“Ugh, he’s driving me crazy,” Gary muttered to himself. “Yes?” he answered the deckhand in his sweetest (fake) voice.

“Are there any men left with any balls in this world?” Chase asked him.

“No, clearly not, bru,” Gary shot back. “I’ve only got half a ball … F***ing hell, Chase.”

Chase was upset that nobody else wanted to funnel a beer with him. “I don’t know how I feel about Chase, to be honest,” Gary admitted. “I think he tries far too hard.” You think , Gary?

“Lovable guy,” Gary concluded, “but interesting.”

Chase was already plastered, and they hadn’t even left the boat yet. He slipped going down the gangway and almost went into the drink, then cackled uncontrollably. Gary had had enough of Chase’s bullsh** and decided to ride with the girls, rather than hang with the guys per the usual.

“What an asshole,” Chase yelled at him, before taking a flying leap into the boys’ van. Wearing his sunglasses upside down, he danced like a white boy in the car on the way to dinner. So embarrassing.

Attempting to get Chase to act like a normal guy, Colin asked him, “Chase, out of all the girls, who would you want to bang?”

“Cheffie,” Chase admitted. “But she’s got a boyfriend, and I respect that.”

“That was unexpected!” Colin laughed.

Still talking about the girls, Chase added, “Yeah, but Lucy got some tig old bitties, though,” getting a big guffaw in response. Nice, Chase. Classy. “Before this season is over, I’m gonna boob-luge some tequila through her tig old bitties.”

“Seems like tonight’s the night,” Alex told him. Don’t encourage him, Alex. You’ll only make him worse.

Speaking of their boss in the other van, Chase drunkenly slurred, “Perhaps Gary’s in there settin’ us up with the other chicks.” Both Alex and I seriously doubt that’s the case.

In the girls’ van, Gary had somehow managed to offend all the girls. Deciding it was no longer a safe space, he opened the car door and stepped out onto the highway. Fortunately, the driver managed to slow the car before he exited the vehicle, but the girls all screamed as he dipped out, “Gary! No! Oh my God!!!” A car traveling in the other direction leaned on the horn in protest. And we thought Chase was crazy!

“Gary, that’s not funny,” Daisy scolded him. “We’re on a f***ing main road.”

“I’m not gonna go anywhere,” he told her. “Stop.” Still dangerous, Gary.

Poor Ileisha wasn’t feeling at all well. She was only drinking sparkling water, but still got sick in the bathroom of the restaurant. Girl just needs to go to bed and rest.

Lucy’s had enough Chase

At the table, Chase’s obnoxiousness continued. “Can we drink tequila between your boobies tonight?” he asked Lucy.

“Shut the f*** up!” she told him, with a look of utter disgust on her face. “On my mother and my father’s life, you will never, ever get between them.”

Chase just doesn’t know when to quit. “Let me rephrase,” he persisted. “Can we please drink tequila tonight?” But Lucy was just done with Chase and his drunken self.

“Find someone else with tits,” she told Chase, brushing him off like an annoying fly, “because it’s not me, boy.”

Finally, Ileisha decided she just needed to go back to the boat. She was really pale and felt so sick, she couldn’t eat anything. Gary graciously asked if she wanted someone to come with her, but she urged them all to stay and have a good time. “I’ll let you know when I make it back. Have an awesome night.” And with that, Cheffie excused herself and headed back.

While Gary and Mads were having a subtitled conversation in Italian (impressive!), Chase suddenly burst out with, “Cheers to boobies!” Cool, Chase (insert eye roll).

“Chase, there is always a time and a place,” Lucy chided him. “That’s what you need to learn. This is not the time or place.”

“Give me a break,” he told her. “Lucy, I’m like 10 drinks deep.” Only 10? Yikes, I throw up and pass out at three. “Maybe I’m the f***ing asshole.”

But Lucy was really over it by this time. “No one’s saying you’re a f***ing asshole,” she yelled. “Don’t put f***ing words in my mouth. I don’t get it. I can’t do this sh**.” And with that, Lucy stood up, turning her chair over in the process, and stomped off.

But as she went, she was still screaming at Chase. “You’re a f***ing joke … I never said that you were a f***ing asshole. If I said you were a f***ing asshole, I’d say it to your f***ing face.”

Chase claimed it was just a joke, while Alex waved a white flag/napkin over his head. In an interview, Lucy admitted, “I mean, he is an asshole.”

While the girls rehashed the conversation in the ladies’, back at the table Chase promised, “I’m not going to say another f***ing word tonight.” I’m wondering how much of this he’s going to remember tomorrow when none of the girls are speaking to him.

Returning to the table, Lucy sat next to Gary at the opposite end from Chase. “I’m just so fed up with Chase,” Lucy told production. “He’s so annoying. ‘My name’s Chase and I love boobs,'” she said, mimicking an American twang. “‘Let me do tequila shots from your tits.’ What the f***?” Lucy’s American accent is about as good as my British one.

And to all a good night

On the ride back from dinner, the only one willing to ride in the same car with Chase was Colin. Everyone else, including Gary and Alex, rode in the girls’ van. Chase complained, “I say f***ing one thing, and the chicks are throwing their chairs.” Face it, Chase, you just have that effect on women.

Back in the guys’ cabin, Gary told Colin that when he kissed Mads in the van, “Daisy looked at me as if I’d just cheated on her. But she told me to stay away from her this season.”

When Chase finally headed to bed and found Gary and Mads together in his boss’ bunk, he yelled, “Oh my God. I can tell you one thing I’m not gonna f***ing put up with tonight. It’s this sh**,” meaning Gary and Mads.

“Shut up, Chase,” Gary told him.

“You can suck my d**k, boss,” he responded. “It’s not happening tonight.” And will he remember saying that in the morning?

Looking for privacy, Gary and Mads took their party to one of the guest cabins. But Colin and Alex decided to go looking for them. Apparently, Gary failed to lock the door (rookie mistake, Gary). As Mads moaned, “Gary, Gary, Gary,” the boys opened the door and barged right in.

“Get the f*** out!” Gary yelled, but they just laughed and wouldn’t leave.

“Get the f*** out, Colin!” Mads begged. But he just played innocent, “Hey, Mads, what’s going on?”

Mads was not pleased. “What the f***? Why?!” she asked production. She was finally getting those needs met she talked about earlier in the season, only to be interrupted.

“I’m so sorry,” Gary apologized when they finally left. “How f***ing annoying.” I hope he learned his lesson and locked the f***ing door this time. But with all the commotion, Gary had lost his “mojo,” so Mads took her frustrated leave and returned to her cabin. I hope she packed a vibrator in her suitcase, or it might be a restless night for her.

As Mads stormed into their cabin, Daisy got up and went to ask Colin what happened to Gary. They both went looking and found Gary alone in the guest cabin. He told them that Mads got pissed off and left after the boys broke in. “My bad,” Colin said, sounding not at all sorry.

Then Colin turned to Daisy and asked, “Which bed are we going to?” Okay, now we’re talking. This is what we came here for .

As they walked up the stairs wrapped around each other, Daisy asked Colin, “Are you trying to kiss me?” So he did. And she was into it.

“What the f***?” he asked when they finally came up for air. “Where did that come from?”

Since Chase had declared their cabin a “No Girls Allowed” zone, Colin and Daisy went to her cabin. “Madison, you don’t care if Colin sleeps in here, do you?” Daisy asked her. “Are you and Gary fighting?”

“Madison, why are you still here?” Colin asked her. “[Gary’s] down there all, like, confused now. Why don’t you go back there and make him feel comfortable? You’re gonna thank me later.”

“Am I going to thank you?” Mads asked Colin. “No, I still f***ing hate you.” But she scurried out of there and back to Lord Farquaad.

“Have the time of your life,” Colin said as she left.

And at long last, it begins.

She has set her Instagram set to private. Jim, Veronica and friends returned as charter guests on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 .

Who Are Charter Guests Ken, Chris, Rick & Marni

The preference sheet gives us a few details about Jim’s close friends.

This charter group has high expectations for the crew and want to sail around all of the island of Menorca, Spain, while watching sunsets each night with drinks.

When I found myself tuning in to yet another season of another franchise of Below Deck , I had to wonder: Why am I so obsessed with watching people do their jobs, and badly at that?

All roads lead to The Office .

Bravo ‘s Below Deck Sailing Yacht,  which is currently airing Season 4 on Mondays at 8 pm, is simply The Office, if it were unscripted and on speed. It contains all the pillars of the successful workplace comedy: An inappropriate leader who makes off-color jokes (sorry, Captain Glenn, but it’s true); a never-ending assortment of unbelievable HR violations (when you live and work in the same place, things get muddy, fast !); awkward people performing their jobs poorly (there’s always a stew who simply doesn’t understand the hierarchy); and, of course, a couple of token sensible people (Daisy and Glenn are the boat’s Jim and Pam, minus the romance).

With all of that, plus incredibly high stakes as real money is being made, real clients are being served, and real pots of chili are being dropped thanks to unexpected swells, it’s just another iteration of everyone’s favorite NBC comedy!

But Below Deck even goes a step further: It uses the workplace comedy genre as a blueprint, before completely transforming it. Here, the actual workplace is not only a container for comedy; the workplace is the comedy, as the space inhabited by the cast becomes a character itself.

Another layer? These employees never get to go home. Though we don’t often see The Office characters outside of Dunder Mifflin/related events, we know they are not trapped in the workplace. They theoretically have lives beyond our screens that add texture to their characters. On Below Deck , however, employees are constantly on the clock, sleeping in tight quarters and receiving wake-up calls from engine alarms or radio commands at any given moment. (Imagine getting a season-long slumber party between Michael and Dwight. What kind of storylines could have been invented if the two were forced to sleep on top of the printers after each day’s end? Whatever you’re picturing, know that’s what Below Deck promises and delivers season after season.)

So, if you liked The Office , it’s time to give its unofficial unscripted sister a watch.

How do you think Below Deck compares to your favorite workplace comedy? Let us know in the comments!

You should send this review to the WGA. I’m sure they’ll love to hear all the hard work put forth by their writers can be equaled by reality garbage.

So far the crew are doing great considering the ship can’t sail & the first group of people had an actual Karen on board.

I have watched all seasons of every Below Deck. Season 4 Below Deck Sailing Yacht is the most uninteresting season of all. The crew has been childish and they act unprofessional. The episodes are boring. Gary and Daisy and Colin act juvenile. You just may have run your course on the Sailing Yacht if these crew members return. Every other Below Deck held my attention and was fun. This season 4 I turn off halfway through. Sorry but any cache the show has had in the past has dissolved.

Somebody needs to kick the living sh– out of Gary.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 Episode 8 Recap: Seafood-Palooza and Bouncing Body Parts

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

When last we left Below Deck Sailing Yacht , the Parsifal III was finally able to sail after Chief Engineer Colin MacRae fixed the engine for the second time this season .

“I don’t think I’ve ever had this much engine trouble with guests on board in my career,” Captain Glenn Shephard  commented. “Hopefully it’s the last [time], knock on wood.” And he did that thing we all do and knocked his knuckles on his head. Funny, Glenn.

As Glenn was looking for a safe place to anchor for the night, stews Lucy Edmunds and Madison “Mads” Herrera worried about what talents they could bring to the evening’s guest-requested talent show. Lucy laughed she could do cheerleader moves, “Go, Tigers!”

“How the f*** are we supposed to top last year’s talent show?” Chief Stew  Daisy Kelliher asked. In case you don’t remember, production kindly inserted a clip from last year’s show. Daisy and one of the other stews did a little dance, Colin played an original song on his guitar and First Mate  Gary King  did a strip tease. Captain Glenn said he could “crack some jokes. That’s all I can do.” Oh, I remember Glenn’s dad jokes. So bad.

Finally, Colin told Daisy, “I’ll make up a song in like the next hour.”

“But you’re Mr. Amazing, apparently,” Daisy giggled. “You can do it all … according to everyone!”

Gary creates a conflict among his crew

“I need to have a little word with [deckhand] Alex [Propson] ,” Gary told Colin. “I just don’t know what was happening last night. Chase [Lemacks] came to me and complained. He was like, ‘I’m going to speak to Alex.’ And I said, ‘No, you’re not.'” Gary’s Alex’s boss, not you. Calm down, Chase.

On the first day, Gary had told both his deckhands when they have anchor watch, “Leave the boat how you want the boat to be left to you. The more you do, the less he’s got to do. And it’s going to work in your favor for when he’s on night watch.” But it didn’t look as if Alex had rinsed anywhere, even though we saw him doing it in the last episode.

As Alex struggled to take the flag down, he complimented Chase on the bowline knot he’d tied it up with, “Nice job, dude!”

But Chase was still annoyed that Gary wouldn’t let him “have a conversation” with Alex about what a mess the boat was when he turned it over that morning. It’s not your job, dude. Let it go.

At that moment, Gary arrived and pulled Alex aside for a chat. “What happened last night, bro?” the first mate asked. “The boat looked like absolute sh** this morning.”

“You’re serious?” Alex was shocked. “I spent like six hours on it. What looked like sh** this morning?”

“Mainly the anchor pocket,” Gary told him. “And everything around there on the list … Scuppers, everything, bro. Glenn commented on the flybridge also.” Alex admitted that he’d forgotten the anchor pocket.

“I just think it was very unfair on Chase for you to leave the boat like that,” Gary continued.

When Alex agreed with him, Gary added, “I know it wasn’t your intention … [Chase] was claiming laziness. And I’m like, Alex isn’t that lazy, so I don’t think so.” Now Gary’s let it out of the bag that it was Chase who ratted him out. Way to throw His Contrariness under the bus. And as production rolled the earlier scene for us, it was clear that Chase never said any such thing about “laziness.” Uh oh.

“That’s honestly like f***ing shocking,” Alex responded.

Then Gary backed the bus up and ran over Chase a couple more times, “He thought you were just sitting doing f*** all the whole night, so he was f***ing livid. And he was like, ‘F*** this!'” Does Gary have early-onset dementia or something? That’s not what happened at all. Is he trying to start a war between his deckies?

“F*** me, seriously?” Alex interviewed. “I feel like I’m working really, really hard. So I don’t know why Chase is attacking me behind my back. If you’re upset about things, Chase, come talk to me,” which is what Chase wanted to do in the first place. Maybe he had the right idea after all. Gary really f***ed that up. Meanwhile, the man in question was innocently enjoying his dinner, unaware that his boss had just thoroughly wound up his co-worker and sent him off in his direction, steaming mad. Nice move, Gary. What do you call that leadership style ? Darwin’s Survival of the Nitwits?

As Chase headed down to his cabin for a nap, he passed Alex in the mess. “Goodnight, Chase,” Alex mumbled. “Good night, my friend,” a clueless Chase called back, oblivious to the fact that his “friend” was internally planning the best way to murder him in his sleep.

Cheffie creates a seafood-palooza, while Gary does some “fishing” of his own

The guests had requested a seafood dinner for night two, so Chef Ileisha Dell was cooking up a fabulous meal of lobster tails, oysters, whole-baked snapper, fresh fish and grilled prawns. “I’m gonna smash it!” she predicted. I’m sure she will. Her food so far seems to be right on point.

When Gary overheard Alex and Mads bantering (flirting) in the salon, he immediately called from the bridge, “What’re you up to? Come hang.”

Though she’d rather stay and get to know Alex, she knew Gary had rank, so answered his call. “Sounds like you’re busy,” she told the first mate, trying to make it a short visit.

“No, no, no,” Gary insisted. “I’m never too busy for you.” Muttering “over it” under his breath, Alex took his cue to exit.

Gary got right to the point, “You know you’re gorgeous, eh?” Trying to hurry the conversation along, Mads asked, “What did you want to speak about?”

“Now that we’ve hooked up twice,” Gary reminded her, “I just wanted to know what you want out of it. If you want a casual hookup, by all means, I’m down for that.” Really, Gary? Are you pressing the girl to define the relationship already? It’s a bit early for a DTR. We know you just want to get laid, and she’d really rather be with Alex if he could only stay sober long enough.

“I’m fine with [a casual hookup],” she said. When he accused her of flirting with everyone else, she answered, “I’m not flirting. I can’t hold Alex’s hand? To me, that’s very friendly. That’s not, like, intimate.” Girl just wants to keep her options open, but Gary wants to lock her down.

“Uh uh,” he told her. “That’s a bit [too] intimate.”

In a production interview, Mads said, “I don’t know Gary’s expectations, but I like to enjoy myself. And just because we hooked up, that doesn’t necessarily mean now we’re settling down for life.” Back with Gary, she tried to make it clear, “This isn’t serious.” But the giggle may have undermined her intent. “Sorry, I’m a f***ing bitch.”

Mads had no intention of letting Gary tell her what to do. “I’ll flirt with Alex if I want to,” she insisted. Good girl. Gary is not your boss. But he’s Alex’s, and Alex is intimidated by him. So there’s that.

Gary and Colin were writing a song for the talent show. They were saying that Alex has “hair like spaghetti … How do you rhyme something with ‘deckie?'” How about “good hair like Becky?” See I’m a great songwriter. They should’ve asked me. I’m a whiz at parodies, too.

The 2nd Annual Big Jim Talent Show

At the talent show, Glenn was up first. His “talent” was telling Dad jokes. Badly. “I went to the zoo last week, and all they had was one fluffy little dog … it was a shih tzu.” Okay, I laughed. I’m a sucker for a good Dad joke.

Chase’s “talent” was catching things with his mouth. He should do that more often. It would keep him from talking so much.

Mads and Lucy did cheerleader moves for their talent, while Lucy showed off her boobs’ amazing ability to move independently of each other. Alex was jealous. “Is that even a talent? Like, I can do that, too!” Nobody wants to see you move your boobies, Alex. Meanwhile, legions of women have paid their way through law school working in strip clubs.

Mads, Lucy, Ileisha and Daisy did an Irish jig and eventually involved the guests in their dancing. Having composed a song about the guests last year, Colin announced that he and Alex were singing one this year about the crew. “Gary is the first mate, there’s no girl that he won’t date … Alex is the deckie, his hair is like spaghetti … Thanks for joining us, it’s great to have you back. Please keep your clothes on, Jim, no one wants to see your crack.” It was cute, and the guests loved it.

A meeting of the deck crew

With the conclusion of the talent show, the guests were off to bed, and Gary invited his crew to the hot tub for an impromptu meeting. Alex apologized for the way the boat looked that morning and promised he was going to work a lot harder overnight.

“Dude, don’t say it to me like I’m your boss,” Chase told him. “The only problem [I had] is Glenn comes out and he’s like, ‘The boat looks like sh**,’ and I feel like an ass.”

Alex claimed that he really took his time cleaning, but Chase assured him, “I’m not the kind of guy to be pissed about some dumb sh** like that.” Flashback to Gary telling Alex that Chase was “f***ing livid” about him “doing f*** all the whole night.”

“I know you’re not trying to screw me,” Chase told his co-worker. “I fully believe you, bro. We’re chillin’.”

I think that’s where the penny dropped for Alex. “From what I can tell,” Alex interviewed, “either Chase isn’t that fired up about it, or maybe Gary was instigating some drama. It just seems like somebody’s not telling the truth.” I’ll take door number two for $500, Alex.

At the end of their little chat, Chase went off to bed, and Gary put his arm around Alex’s shoulders, all friendly. “Just make sure the boat’s clean tomorrow morning, okay?” he repeated. “I’ve got faith in you, bru.”

The next morning when Chase asked Alex how his night went, Alex told him, “I didn’t stop moving, man. The boat should be perfect.”

“Tag, you’re out,” Chase said, as they slapped hands. And Alex went off to bed.

When Gary came up on deck, he exclaimed, “Woo hoo, the boat looks good this morning. I’m happy. Sh**, Alex, good job.”

Drop-off Day

It’s Drop-off Day! Colin and Gary were looking forward to some fun at the end of the charter. “Everyone’s ready for some carnage,” Colin claimed.

“I’m gonna have a chat with Mads tonight and see where I stand,” Gary told his buddy. Didn’t you already try to do that, Gary? You’re not hearing what she’s telling you. Does she have to write you a letter? “I don’t think she takes me seriously, to be honest.” Oh, she takes you seriously, all right. She’s seriously just not that into you. She likes your deckie, Alex.

“I want to fall in love also,” the first mate continued. “So badly. It just doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen.”

“I think Gary’s all talk,” Colin said in an interview. “I’ve heard all of this before. What we’re dealing with is a stage five clingage.” Colin has a way with words, doesn’t he? Nailed it.

“Mads isn’t just completely giving in to all of his shenanigans,” Colin observed. “It’s kind of funny.” When Gary assured him he wasn’t going to hook up with another chick, Colin asked him, “Yeah, how much you wanna bet?” Colin knows his buddy well.

A tricky docking situation requires all hands on deck

When the Parsifal III arrived at the dock, the boats already there had left very little space for the sailboat. Gary called for the interior crew to come outside and help handle fenders to keep from touching the boats on either side of them. It’s precarious docking in such a narrow space.

As Glenn explained, “I can do a lot of damage with this boat. If I get ground lines stuck under the rudder, I’m gonna be pulling these guys into me. If I push in too fast or too hard, I can pop their stern lines. Focus is absolutely critical.” That’s why you make the big bucks, Skipper.

It was a really tight fit. Of course, Chase being the classy guy he is, piped up with, “That’s what she said!” Har har.

Finally, Glenn was able to “shuffle his way” into the slip, with the help of nearly all the crew and lots of bumpers. The lines were tossed and tied. The fenders were wedged so tightly, they squeaked like balloons under pressure of popping. A masterful job. Well done, Cap!

“You couldn’t afford a bigger dock?” Charter guest Jim quipped. “Zip up your pants, Veronica. It’s time to go.” Jim must be exhausting to live with. Everything’s a joke.

“It’s a small tip,” Jim told them at the dock, as he clutched, not one, but two fat envelopes in his hand. “It won’t really go very far. But you know, it’s all ones, ’cause I usually spend them at the strip bar. So, farewell to you all, and I love you is what I will say.” In the end, he was very sweet, despite all the kidding around.

“I miss them already,” Chase admitted. So do I. The next guests surely won’t be as nice. Back to work!

Chase is really annoying

As the crew started their turnaround cleaning, Glenn called them to the “Saloon” for the Tip Meeting. “Just when you think we’re about to have an easy charter,” he told them, “something can always go wrong. Colin, never a dull moment … once again, you saved the charter, dude.”

“Daisy and interior, it’s fun to watch you guys gel,” he continued. “I think it’s a real testament to your leadership … I’ve noticed a marked improvement. For sure.”

“So the tip amount in US dollars: $27,500,” the captain finally announced. “That works out in euros to just shy of $2700 each.” Nice. Everyone was very happy with that.

“Love them,” Ileisha said. “Plus, I am so happy Glenn has started giving compliments to me, but honestly, I’m just so exhausted, mentally and physically.” It’s a high-pressure job, Cheffie. You’re killing it, but you need a couple of days off. Have a fun night out and sleep late tomorrow.

Chase is soooooo socially awkward. Again and again, he just says and does the weirdest, most abrasive things. Even the girls were getting tired of his antics. “He’s so obnoxious already,” Mads said. “He’s, like, on 10.” I’d say more like 12.

As Gary was in the salon trying to tempt Daisy with a shot, Chase had already started drinking and was outside shouting, “Gary!”

“Ugh, he’s driving me crazy,” Gary muttered to himself. “Yes?” he answered the deckhand in his sweetest (fake) voice.

“Are there any men left with any balls in this world?” Chase asked him.

“No, clearly not, bru,” Gary shot back. “I’ve only got half a ball … F***ing hell, Chase.”

Chase was upset that nobody else wanted to funnel a beer with him. “I don’t know how I feel about Chase, to be honest,” Gary admitted. “I think he tries far too hard.” You think , Gary?

“Lovable guy,” Gary concluded, “but interesting.”

Chase was already plastered, and they hadn’t even left the boat yet. He slipped going down the gangway and almost went into the drink, then cackled uncontrollably. Gary had had enough of Chase’s bullsh** and decided to ride with the girls, rather than hang with the guys per the usual.

“What an asshole,” Chase yelled at him, before taking a flying leap into the boys’ van. Wearing his sunglasses upside down, he danced like a white boy in the car on the way to dinner. So embarrassing.

Attempting to get Chase to act like a normal guy, Colin asked him, “Chase, out of all the girls, who would you want to bang?”

“Cheffie,” Chase admitted. “But she’s got a boyfriend, and I respect that.”

“That was unexpected!” Colin laughed.

Still talking about the girls, Chase added, “Yeah, but Lucy got some tig old bitties, though,” getting a big guffaw in response. Nice, Chase. Classy. “Before this season is over, I’m gonna boob-luge some tequila through her tig old bitties.”

“Seems like tonight’s the night,” Alex told him. Don’t encourage him, Alex. You’ll only make him worse.

Speaking of their boss in the other van, Chase drunkenly slurred, “Perhaps Gary’s in there settin’ us up with the other chicks.” Both Alex and I seriously doubt that’s the case.

In the girls’ van, Gary had somehow managed to offend all the girls. Deciding it was no longer a safe space, he opened the car door and stepped out onto the highway. Fortunately, the driver managed to slow the car before he exited the vehicle, but the girls all screamed as he dipped out, “Gary! No! Oh my God!!!” A car traveling in the other direction leaned on the horn in protest. And we thought Chase was crazy!

“Gary, that’s not funny,” Daisy scolded him. “We’re on a f***ing main road.”

“I’m not gonna go anywhere,” he told her. “Stop.” Still dangerous, Gary.

Poor Ileisha wasn’t feeling at all well. She was only drinking sparkling water, but still got sick in the bathroom of the restaurant. Girl just needs to go to bed and rest.

Lucy’s had enough Chase

At the table, Chase’s obnoxiousness continued. “Can we drink tequila between your boobies tonight?” he asked Lucy.

“Shut the f*** up!” she told him, with a look of utter disgust on her face. “On my mother and my father’s life, you will never, ever get between them.”

Chase just doesn’t know when to quit. “Let me rephrase,” he persisted. “Can we please drink tequila tonight?” But Lucy was just done with Chase and his drunken self.

“Find someone else with tits,” she told Chase, brushing him off like an annoying fly, “because it’s not me, boy.”

Finally, Ileisha decided she just needed to go back to the boat. She was really pale and felt so sick, she couldn’t eat anything. Gary graciously asked if she wanted someone to come with her, but she urged them all to stay and have a good time. “I’ll let you know when I make it back. Have an awesome night.” And with that, Cheffie excused herself and headed back.

While Gary and Mads were having a subtitled conversation in Italian (impressive!), Chase suddenly burst out with, “Cheers to boobies!” Cool, Chase (insert eye roll).

“Chase, there is always a time and a place,” Lucy chided him. “That’s what you need to learn. This is not the time or place.”

“Give me a break,” he told her. “Lucy, I’m like 10 drinks deep.” Only 10? Yikes, I throw up and pass out at three. “Maybe I’m the f***ing asshole.”

But Lucy was really over it by this time. “No one’s saying you’re a f***ing asshole,” she yelled. “Don’t put f***ing words in my mouth. I don’t get it. I can’t do this sh**.” And with that, Lucy stood up, turning her chair over in the process, and stomped off.

But as she went, she was still screaming at Chase. “You’re a f***ing joke … I never said that you were a f***ing asshole. If I said you were a f***ing asshole, I’d say it to your f***ing face.”

Chase claimed it was just a joke, while Alex waved a white flag/napkin over his head. In an interview, Lucy admitted, “I mean, he is an asshole.”

While the girls rehashed the conversation in the ladies’, back at the table Chase promised, “I’m not going to say another f***ing word tonight.” I’m wondering how much of this he’s going to remember tomorrow when none of the girls are speaking to him.

Returning to the table, Lucy sat next to Gary at the opposite end from Chase. “I’m just so fed up with Chase,” Lucy told production. “He’s so annoying. ‘My name’s Chase and I love boobs,'” she said, mimicking an American twang. “‘Let me do tequila shots from your tits.’ What the f***?” Lucy’s American accent is about as good as my British one.

And to all a good night

On the ride back from dinner, the only one willing to ride in the same car with Chase was Colin. Everyone else, including Gary and Alex, rode in the girls’ van. Chase complained, “I say f***ing one thing, and the chicks are throwing their chairs.” Face it, Chase, you just have that effect on women.

Back in the guys’ cabin, Gary told Colin that when he kissed Mads in the van, “Daisy looked at me as if I’d just cheated on her. But she told me to stay away from her this season.”

When Chase finally headed to bed and found Gary and Mads together in his boss’ bunk, he yelled, “Oh my God. I can tell you one thing I’m not gonna f***ing put up with tonight. It’s this sh**,” meaning Gary and Mads.

“Shut up, Chase,” Gary told him.

“You can suck my d**k, boss,” he responded. “It’s not happening tonight.” And will he remember saying that in the morning?

Looking for privacy, Gary and Mads took their party to one of the guest cabins. But Colin and Alex decided to go looking for them. Apparently, Gary failed to lock the door (rookie mistake, Gary). As Mads moaned, “Gary, Gary, Gary,” the boys opened the door and barged right in.

“Get the f*** out!” Gary yelled, but they just laughed and wouldn’t leave.

“Get the f*** out, Colin!” Mads begged. But he just played innocent, “Hey, Mads, what’s going on?”

Mads was not pleased. “What the f***? Why?!” she asked production. She was finally getting those needs met she talked about earlier in the season, only to be interrupted.

“I’m so sorry,” Gary apologized when they finally left. “How f***ing annoying.” I hope he learned his lesson and locked the f***ing door this time. But with all the commotion, Gary had lost his “mojo,” so Mads took her frustrated leave and returned to her cabin. I hope she packed a vibrator in her suitcase, or it might be a restless night for her.

As Mads stormed into their cabin, Daisy got up and went to ask Colin what happened to Gary. They both went looking and found Gary alone in the guest cabin. He told them that Mads got pissed off and left after the boys broke in. “My bad,” Colin said, sounding not at all sorry.

Then Colin turned to Daisy and asked, “Which bed are we going to?” Okay, now we’re talking. This is what we came here for .

As they walked up the stairs wrapped around each other, Daisy asked Colin, “Are you trying to kiss me?” So he did. And she was into it.

“What the f***?” he asked when they finally came up for air. “Where did that come from?”

Since Chase had declared their cabin a “No Girls Allowed” zone, Colin and Daisy went to her cabin. “Madison, you don’t care if Colin sleeps in here, do you?” Daisy asked her. “Are you and Gary fighting?”

“Madison, why are you still here?” Colin asked her. “[Gary’s] down there all, like, confused now. Why don’t you go back there and make him feel comfortable? You’re gonna thank me later.”

“Am I going to thank you?” Mads asked Colin. “No, I still f***ing hate you.” But she scurried out of there and back to Lord Farquaad.

“Have the time of your life,” Colin said as she left.

And at long last, it begins.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK LUCY OVERREACTED TO CHASE’S DRUNKEN ANTICS? OR DO YOU AGREE THAT HE’S PRETTY MUCH AN ASSHOLE, DRUNK OR SOBER? WERE YOU HAPPY TO SEE DAISY AND COLIN FINALLY HOOK UP?

About below deck sailing yacht.

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 Ilesha'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. 

Ben Willoughby Considers Exposing The Truth About Below Deck Season 11 Crew

• Considering exposing the truth about Below Deck season 11 crew, Ben reveals he may not return due to unseen issues.
• Ben believes he got the "villain edit" on Below Deck, but is open to appearing on Below Deck Mediterranean or Sailing Yacht.
• Feeling misrepresented on the show, Ben expresses frustration over lack of context in episodes airing on Bravo.

Ben Willoughby has been the center of some of the romantic drama on Below Deck , and now he is considering " exposing the truth " about the Below Deck season 11 crew . He began this season as a deckhand under former Bosun Jared Woodin, but Ben was later promoted to Bosun himself when Jared left the boat for personal reasons. While he was a deckhand, Ben began a "boatmance" with another exterior crew member, Mary "Sunny" Marquis, who has admitted she has the tendency to get jealous. Ben was concerned but confident when he agreed to take on the new role in Below Deck season 11 .

"There's too much that isn't seen. I'm at a crossroads as to whether the truth needs to be told."

Now Ben is considering getting honest and giving viewers all the behind the scenes details on what really went down with the cast of Below Deck . During a Q&A on his Instagram Stories, which was captured by Teanailpolish on Reddit, Ben was asked if he would consider returning to Below Deck , to which Ben cryptically responded, " I once used to love Below Deck ."

Then another questioner asked Ben, " Wait, why are you saying you used to love BD?! What happened? " He answered by saying, " There's too much that isn't seen. I'm at a crossroads as to whether the truth needs to be told. "

Ben Willoughby Wants To Join Below Deck Med & Sailing Yacht

Why ben feels like he got the "villain edit".

Ben is coming clean about how he feels regarding future episodes of himself in Below Deck season 11, including whether or not there are any episodes he is nervous about seeing air. " Not really ," Ben answered, " I can't control the edit. I know what I stood for in these episodes to come. The entire production team knows the crap I had to deal with this season. " While he did not go into specifics, Ben said that he believes former Below Deck Bosun Eddie Lucas and former chef Rachel Hargrove did not return for the same reason he is considering not returning .

I can't control the edit. I know what I stood for in these episodes to come.

Ben was asked if Below Deck season 11 accurately portrayed the cast, to which Ben answered, " Some for worse than they are, some for better than they are. " Even though there seems to be some conflict and frustration surrounding being a cast member on Below Deck , the original television series in the franchise, Ben was enthusiastic about possibly appearing and working on Below Deck Sailing Yacht or Below Deck Mediterranean . He said if he were offered the opportunity to be on either of the two shows, he would do it " in a heartbeat ."

Ben was also asked if sleeping with a subordinate has had a negative effect on the way he is portrayed on Below Deck . Ben said no, he did not think that was the problem with why he was portrayed in a bad light. He explained that what really hurt him was all of the supposedly cut audio that would have provided context for each situation . Ben said he was being pulled in every direction in order to try and run a smooth department. However, when asked how it felt to be promoted to Bosun, he said that it was awesome.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

When Ben suggests there may be a lot more going on behind the scenes, it can be frustrating for those who have invested their time into watching Below Deck . It is not surprising that cast members on a reality television show may feel that they were denied an accurate representation of themselves due to the way episodes are edited. Ben is not the first castmate to state that they were given the "villain" edit for no reason other than the show needed a villain. However, with the entertainment that Below Deck always brings, there are many reasons to keep watching.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo, then streams the following day on Peacock.

10 biggest clout chasers in below deck history.

Below Deck has created some of the most iconic reality TV personalities, but some crew members are only there to attract reality TV clout.

• Fan-favorite captains and crew members shine on Below Deck, but clout chasers can overshadow the show.
• Life on a super-yacht may seem glamorous, but Below Deck sheds light on the grueling side of maritime travel.
• Casting villains and drama magnets stir the pot on Below Deck, but clout chasers looking for fame can disrupt the season.

Below Deck has introduced a plethora of fan-favorite captains and crew members, but once in a while, a few clout chasers drown out the show. Below Deck is renowned for its iconic format that follows the staff and crew who work on super-yachts. Life on a yacht seems luxurious and worldly, but Below Deck has revealed the grueling side of maritime travel . The popularity of the show has given a slew of spin-offs, while its mainstay, Below Deck season 11 began premiering in February 2024 with a mix of familiar faces.

Reality television has created some iconic stars, but it’s also created thirsty, fame-hungry clout chasers. Below Deck cast members are part of a TV series but they’re also there to do a job. It takes a strong team to manage the workload of crews on these yachts. There have been a multitude of Below Deck franchise cast villains who, like clout chasers, know how to stir up drama onboard. However, when a cast member is more interested in creating memorable TV moments and attracting some sort of fame after their run on the show, things begin to get muddled.

10 adrienne gang, below deck season 1.

Adrienne Gang was the first chief stew on Below Deck season 1 . Though she was an original cast member on the series , Adrienne wasn’t asked back as a crew member on the show. She made an appearance during Below Deck season 2 as a friend to the primary charter guest, and her former co-workers were not excited about working for her. Since exiting the series, she’s stayed in the Below Deck zeitgeist by launching her adjacent podcast, Gangplank Report . On the podcast, Adrienne would speak with fellow Below Deck alum and discuss the airing seasons.

Adrienne is very proud of her time on Below Deck . In her Instagram bio, she makes it known that she was on the show by writing, “ OG #chiefstew @bravotv #BelowDeck. ” Adrienne also references her job as a celebrity chef, which she took up after leaving the Bravo series. She also held a viewing party for the premiere of Below Deck season 11. Though Adrienne was only cast as a crew member in one season of the show, it’s clear that she’s ecstatic to call herself an “ OG ” of Below Deck.

9 Hannah Ferrier

Below deck mediterranean season 1-5.

Below Deck Mediterranean season 5 would have looked different without Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier. Undoubtedly, after Hannah was fired by Captain Sandy Yawn, the season suffered. After filming Below Deck Med , Hannah jumped ship to film The Real Love Boat as the cruise director for the dating series. She was cast on The Traitors Australia season 2, one of the hottest and most anticipated reality TV shows. Though it’s been a few years since she’s been on Below Deck , Hannah has used her history on that show to expand her career as a reality TV star.

It’s safe to say that Hannah has stayed in the spotlight since appearing on Below Deck Med , and her presence isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. She hosts her podcast , Dear Reality, You’re Effed! , which per the podcast’s Instagram bio, “ delv[es] deep into the Bravo/Reality TV/celebrity world. ” On Captain Lee’s podcast, Salty With Captain Lee , Hannah said she would consider returning to Below Deck if Captain Lee or Captain Jason Chambers asked her to.

8 Colin Macrae

Below deck sailing yacht season 2-4.

Colin Macrae made his first Below Deck appearance on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2. He was a fan favorite for not getting into the drama and doing his job exceptionally well. However, during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4, he was single and found himself in a love triangle with crew members Daisy Kelliher and Gary King. Colin’s personality shifted from Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 to 4, and he was ready to stir up more drama. He’s used his time on Below Deck to promote his YouTube channel, where he posts videos about sailing.

7 Natalya Scudder

Below deck mediterranean season 7 & 8.

Natalya Scudder was the drama on Below Deck Mediterranean season 8. Natalya and Tumi Mhlongo feuded instantly during the season, and Natalya arguably perpetuated their conflict . She would talk about Tumi to their fellow crew members, which drew more attention to both of them. Her dear friend, Kyle Viljoen, made their fight worse. Kyle got between Natalya and Tumi before they had the chance to meet. However, Natalya continued their conflict by snapping back and getting defensive at Tumi’s requests.

Natalya and Kyle both love attention. They also fought throughout Below Deck Med season 8, and Natalya ended up resigning because of the drama. However, she returned to stir up controversy once more during the finale of the season. Though she had already quit, Natalya had to make her presence on Below Deck Med season 8 known once more. Natalya and Kyle made a perfect duo on the show due to their dramatic natures. They knew how to make great, captivating TV, and they did just that.

6 Ashton Pienaar

Below deck season 6 & 7.

Ashton Pienaar endured one of the most dangerous accidents on Below Deck season 6 when his foot got caught in a tow line. Ashton was dragged into the water, and a cameraman had to save him. He was invited back for Below Deck season 7 but didn’t make a great impression on the viewers. Ashton drank a lot in his second season and often got angry and violent when doing so. He wasn’t invited back to Below Deck, but he used his time on the show to create and promote his fitness company .

5 Fraser Olender

Below deck season 8-11.

Fraser Olender is one of the leading personalities on Below Deck season 11. He’s the poster child of the latest season, and he’s been stirring drama on camera. Fraser’s conflicts with Barbie Pascual have overtaken the season , and sometimes the drama feels a little forced. Former The Real Housewife of New York star Jill Zarin slammed Fraser for his lack of leadership skills that made her trip unenjoyable. His drama with Barbie has clouded Below Deck season 11. Having dealt with a conflict in season 10, maybe Fraser knew he could garner more attention towards himself with this feud.

4 Malia White

Below deck mediterranean season 2, 5 & 6.

Malia White’s time on Below Deck Mediterranean captivated viewers. She was in a relationship with her co-star, Tom Checketts. Their eventual breakup was heartbreaking for many Below Deck fans, but she was also known for her controversial actions on board. Like many reality TV alums, Malia has garnered an impressive following of over 570,000 followers on Instagram. She’s used her audience to promote her Below Deck -related podcast , Total Ship Show , and track her fitness journey.

3 Ben Willoughby

Below deck season 10 & 11.

Below Deck season 11 star Ben Willoughby was extremely unhappy with his portrayal of the season. Ben considered exposing the truth about Below Deck in a series of Instagram Stories on his page. Reddit user Teanailpolish shared screenshots of his responses to fan questions, where it was clear Ben was unhappy with his edit on the season. “ There’s too much that isn’t seen,” he wrote, adding, “I’m at a crossroads as to whether the truth needs to be told. ” Ben did say he’d join Below Deck Sailing Yacht or Below Deck Med . He might have threatened to expose production to attract clout.

2 Alex Propson

Below deck sailing yacht season 3.

Alex Propson enjoyed starting the drama on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3. He showed romantic interest in Mad Herrera, but they didn’t end up pursuing a relationship. Alex has done a lot of press to stay in the limelight since appearing on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . On Alex’s Instagram, he promotes the interviews he does in hopes of becoming more popular . He also joined the cast of Winter House season 3, extending his stint on Bravo. Alex seems to be a fan of himself, making him one of the biggest clout chasers to come out of Below Deck .

1 Kyle Viljoen

Kyle Viljoen joined Below Deck Med season 8 intending to stir up drama. Kyle was friends with both Natalya and Tumi. He got in both the women's ears before they met , and told them negative things about each other. When Natalya and Tumi clashed on the yacht, Kyle continued to spew gossip and heighten tensions between the women. Later in the season, Kyle clashed with Natalya once more, which ended in her leaving the season. Despite this conflict, Kyle and Natalya have since made amends, and he announced this on social media.

Kyle and Natalya knew how much attention the downfall of their friendship would garner and Kyle loved to spotlight this on social media. Ahead of the Below Deck Med season 8 finale, Kyle made another dramatic post on Instagram to commemorate his time on the show. His Instagram caption was extremely long, and Kyle thanked the network, his friends, and his family for their support. He also teased his “ next announcement ,” which felt like a promotional plug for a future project.

There have been quite a few clout chasers to appear on Below Deck . Clout chasers can diminish the value of a season as these people are typically vying for attention in outlandish ways on-camera. Whether they took the opportunity to appear on the show to accumulate followers or promote their businesses, it’s clear they enjoy the attention the Bravo series brings.

Below Deck season 11 airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo, then streams the following day on Peacock.
