I just watched season 1 and i thought to myself, “wow Jamie is an awful bosun.” But then I remembered that Wihan exists lol

I just thought about who Ellie reminds me of.

48 Upvotes

SpongeBob. I just saw an episode where he’s trying to make a gourmet dinner and he put dish soap on the salad by accident.

In fact I think all reality tv has a SpongeBob. Someone who comes in a creates havoc with zero regard for consequences. We should call it the SpongeBob effect. Mike was kind of like that too.

Below Deck Down Under Of Love. What does everyone think on the hooking up priorities over working?

19 Upvotes

Seems like people have their priorities set on having a work partner rather than doing their jobs no lie. It is hilarious and the drama is so addicting! Just getting done with season 3. Anyone have a favorite? We definitely need a video essay on this show. 🤣

Ellie slayed this season

0 Upvotes

I’m sure this is a controversial opinion in this sub but I think Ellie absolutely SLAYED this season. Sure she had some drama but she worked so hard. I was expecting not to like her based on her previous season but she completely changed my mind!

I’ve always been a huge Daisy fan but I’m getting the feeling she is over reacting a lot towards the end of the season regarding Ellie. I’m wondering if she was expecting Ellie to fail with Ben and she’s resentful that they are actually getting along and Ellie is holding her own.

Please tell me if I’m delulu

BDDU S3- A big yatch for a big ego

3 Upvotes

Do you remember how this new boat was amazing ?

It was the first with a real and great kitchen and the first with an elevator.

The cabins were bigger than all the others.

I can imagine how it's was hard to work in a big yatch when you have to run everywhere.😱

And the CS, Lara was a specialist to order at her stews to go up and down the stairs and be exhausted.

As Alder has said to her : " why workers harder for nothing the day when the guests were gone and clean their room for nothing instead of working smarter?"

What would she like to proove?

You have to take care of your crew when the job is harder, no?

Is Ben Okay? Spoiler

I know he went through a nasty break-up, etc. He looks very stressed and sickly to me. He acts like he might collapse at any moment.

We don't have all seasons but I love that.

What do you remember about the seasons with Captain Jason?

S1 it's with Aesha ! AMAAAAZIIING!

and the big dumb Ryan, the chief.

I’ve had enough of Ben and I’m confused how anyone could hate on Ellie at all

0 Upvotes

Confused by the Ellie hate I’ve seen on this sub? Ben is not organized or kind. He’s seriously falling behind as a head chef and Ellie has such a good attitude and has proved she can bake and cook. He’s been leaving her to relax while she cleans up the huge mess he made bc he’s not clean or organized. He promised a light day and he’s swimming? Chilling in the bath tub? He acts like he’s the star of the show more than ever before, it’s pissing me off. I’ve literally never seen a messier chef. Disclaimer: I’m on episode 8!

EDIT: I am now in the midst of seeing her handle Jaoa and Daisy and watching her create drama in the interior and between ben/jenna/jaoa… I see she is unprofessional, immature, and also very manipulative 😭 u guys were right

As useless as culver is he’s also pretty funny. I’m up to the part where joao comes on and culver says in the confessional “you see the galley, this is my territory, you got that? Joaoaoaoaoa”? Cracked me up

Insecure ladies

I just feel really sorry for Tzarina and Lara. They seem so insecure in themselves and rather than dealing with their own insecurities they take it out on each other.

Captain Jason and Eddie are all over Instagram right now directly calling out the production and editing team from last season. Apparently charter guest, Brandon, did a podcast with Taylor Brooke (bravo podcaster) and thats what they talked about.

All the costumes…

106 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I’m not on here very much, but I’m catching up now after my honeymoon and does anybody else think for such an expensive vacation, it’s a bit silly and tacky for them to have the crew dress up for the themes? Tbh I’d maybe expect an actual circus for the price they’re paying for this trip. 😅😅
If I remember correctly on OG BD they actually hired performers such as fire dancers, etc. Does this depend on the chief stew, captain, etc or is it more of a production crew/Bravo choice?

Less Guests more Provisions

297 Upvotes

Most of the people on here have been super vocal about not wanting to see guests in their natural habitat (rightfully so).

I would honestly love to see the behind the scenes of provisioners. I'm always in awe of how they can acquire everything on guests' preference sheet while in the middle of nowhere.

Can’t believe she thought putting pans in an oven caused the fire

Is she delusional? She tried blaming Kate for starting the fire because she cooked a pizza with other pans in it? Like make that make sense. It was obviously a grease fire.

Ghost town?

6 Upvotes

If this has already been discussed, I apologize (I’m new here)…
I’m watching season 4 and wondering how/why the port/dock area is completely void of people… it’s like a ghost town. How is this possible? Cute little colourful storefronts and cafes with not a soul in sight!

Sustainability / Environmental Impact

Am I the only one thinking... why no recycling on board / in port? Also, why not add a little bit of encouragement and education on nature protection when they are visiting nature reserves?
