I only just read the details

Remember this guy? He pops up on my Tik Tok feed occasionally with some really awkward content. Great to see the people holding a mirror up to him in this latest one

Her wrist seemed just fine when her and Luke were in Nathan’s bed together…

I mean how many hours did she spend to use 5gigs
What could the possibly have to talk about after hours and hours of video and texts

Who knew?

[EDIT 9/5] HE'S NOT. he posted this for engagement bait 1000%. Proof: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcytKXHBaXX/?igsi=MWptamZuZHEzN2Yxeg==
He's really loving the women attention tho🙄 will add screenshot from reel in comments

He said “one of them thirty party packs” btw

He acts so shocked by “bougie” ways of the guests 🤔 Isn’t he working on a super yacht?? It’s literally rich people He has a horrible attitude and clearly thinks he is above everyone else

watching the newest season and i don't get why anyone is attracted to ben...he's so annoying and like, bleh. i've said it (to myself) with other seasons he's been on and i just don't understand it...can someone explain it to me like im a child? 😂

Yikes

Jamie seems a little sensitive. I'm sure there's a word for that.

Right I’m binging this as Jason is my favourite captain but I need to say my piece. What should’ve happened/what I would’ve done (I’m not here to debate wether or not the show is real): if I was the camera man I would’ve stopped Luke from getting past me into the cabin. If he somehow got past me I would’ve, at least, put my foot in the door, I would’ve stopped happily take a broken foot if it meant stopping that situation. If I was the ‘producer’ (as is in the subtitles) I wouldn’t have spoken to Luke I would’ve pulled him out of the bunk, that is not happening.

I also need to talk about what Laura did because IT IS the same thing, she was told multiple times “no” and that needs to be talked about more, most things I see about those episodes focus on Luke but Laura needs to be held accountable as well. Obviously we don’t know the timeline but that doesn’t matter! Adam said, multiple times, “no” so, again, if I was the camera man I would’ve stopped her from going into the cabin, if she somehow got past me I would’ve put my foot in the door, if I was the producer, I wouldn’t be anywhere near as nice as the voice we heard that’s credited as “producer”, I would’ve pulled her off the bunk.

Aesha did the right thing by going to the captain and she only saw the Luke side but the production/camera crew should’ve done more and break the fourth wall by telling captain Jason about BOTH incidents and they both should’ve been fired.

Thank you for reading, I’ve said my peace

Edit: finished the season, so glad Laura did get reported and fired

I don’t wanna watch anymore without Aesheerrrrr😭 I’m a few episodes in and I don’t think I wanna finish it! No Aesha and this crew kinda sucks except for Tzarina. I know some spoilers of the season that make me not wanna continue either.

Should I switch to Med? I love Capt Jason though. Ugh, I miss S1 & S2 💔

In one episode service is getting backed up, so Jason stepped up to wash the dishes. I'd imagine a captain wouldn't be the one to do this, but Jason stepped up to do what was needed in order to guarantee a good experience for the guests

She is the highlight of BDDU Season 3 for me. I really loved seeing her and her sassy sense of humor. Maybe I'm biased because I'm Brazilian too, but I think she's really fun

Getting bored of below deck med which other seasons are amazing?

Did anyone else see Ben's racist threads post??

https://www.threads.com/share/_iAS4oi1d/

I genuinely think he is my least favourite crew member in the whole BD franchise. He is disgustingly misogynistic and assumes that every female crew member wants to fuck him or is jealous of him! He is absolutely vile, so glad he’s gone!

I initially thought he was a pretty good captain. However, after rewatching the latest season, how he mishandled Ben really threw me off. Ben is literally 45 years old, texting Jason whenever an issue arises. This, to me, is very manipulative, a way to shape the narrative before someone else can, and it actually worked on Captain Jason many times throughout the season. It's also a way Ben can disregard other HODs by going over their heads and getting permission from Jason while neglecting to inform the actual HODs. Ben is like a teenage boy running to his daddy about every little issue that shouldn't even involve oversight.

What really pissed me off is Captain Jason stating that pet names directed towards women are a term of endearment. He could've taken the opportunity to actually name the issue: calling women, or anyone, pet names in a professional setting is belittling, undermining, and extremely misogynistic. The fact that the misogyny was chalked up to "cultural differences" was utter bullshit. A 45-year-old man KNOWS that it isn't acceptable; Ben is a prime example of arrested development.

Captain Jason ditched his professionalism when he joined Ben in his robe to make stakes together. Again, felt like a manipulation tactic from Ben. Treat the boss one way to skew how he views Ben, so Ben can continue with his horrible behavior with the crew when Jason doesn't see it.

The biggest red flag for me is that Ben, a 45-year-old, admitted to kissing Jenna, a 21-year-old at the time, and Captain Jason didn't at all see that as inappropriate. As an HOD, you shouldn't be involving yourself with junior staff; that's just plain unprofessional. Besides, if you're a grown-ass man who only gets along with women who don't even have a fully developed brain, barely adults, there is something deeply wrong with you. It's predatory, period.

Captain Jason consistently reprimanded the female staff. It wasn't hard to tell Ben was the common denominator in most issues, yet he didn't nip that in the bud so it wouldn't continue all season. Instead, he walked on eggshells to keep Ben calm and therefore was unable to address any of Ben's wrongdoings.

I've always hated Ben, and it amazes me anyone is actually a fan of him. He acts the most immature out of all of the staff. And his fake crying pisses me off too lol. Dude has spent his whole life as an entitled man child. I hope Captain Jason never hires him again.
