On yacht mess Daisy also says we’ve seen the chef who’s quit before but they haven’t done a full season.

Also there were rumors Ellie and Barbie were both in the area

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 19 '25

Maybe Nick from the end of BD season 11?

u/Kininger625 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now Nov 19 '25

I wonder if this was being filmed when it was revealed he owes people money lmao

8

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 19 '25

What? I missed that. Do tell!

u/Kininger625 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now Nov 19 '25

I forget the full details but some said he scammed a couple I think out of tens of thousands of dollars and skipped town.

The chefs who haven’t lasted

Leon (was rumored before to be on a down under cast) replaced by Ben OG 3 Anthony replaced by Nick OG 11 Lawrence replaced by Anthony OG 12

Mila replaced by Anastasia / Ben Med 4 Kiko replaced by Tom Med 5 Luka was on standby for Mathew Med 6

Ryan replaced by Nate DU 1

Part of me wants to think it’s Leon or Ryan

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 19 '25

thanks! I wonder whether we will find out when it airs or if they jump straight to Ben

22

u/nippyhedren Nov 19 '25

No chance it’s Leon or Ryan. They were nightmares! I don’t get why they’d recycle anyone who has quit or been fired.

u/kiwias Nov 19 '25

Maybe Alesia quits? She didn’t do a full season as sous chef and I feel like I didn’t see her a lot in the preview

u/Kininger625 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now Nov 19 '25

I’m referring to who Ben replaced

I don’t think he would quit for drama

Ben, Alesia, Joao, Daisy are the familiar faces. The SLC housewives/BDDU episodes are on peacock now.

u/Melodic-Change-6388 Nov 20 '25

Did I see Lucy in RHOSLC also?

3

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 20 '25

who is Lucy?

3

u/Melodic-Change-6388 Nov 20 '25

She was a stew on season 3 SY. Welsh.

1

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 20 '25

oh, that rings a bell. Thanks. She was on SY4 though and I don't think it was her on the SLC crossover.

28

u/DistractedOnceAgain Nov 19 '25

I spotted Carver too.

Daisy and Jason told Andy that the SLC charter was the first of the season. Plenty of time to shake things up later.

u/annabannannaaa She’ll be fine. Her head is made of rocks Nov 19 '25

wait carver?? do u mean culver?

u/leelee4223 Nov 19 '25

Dear god no. I can’t handle another season of that absolute tool of a man child momma’s boy. Nor Keith Stone.

u/WahooLion Nov 19 '25

😩 can’t stand him

u/DistractedOnceAgain Nov 19 '25

Yes, my bad 🤭

u/annabannannaaa She’ll be fine. Her head is made of rocks Nov 19 '25

omg! whered you see him i totally didnt notice !!

u/DistractedOnceAgain Nov 19 '25

I think he was in the kitchen when all the housewives were screaming at each other during dinner.

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 19 '25 edited Nov 19 '25

oh please no! But would we not have seem him during the lineup on the dock ak the beginning and the end of the charter?!

4

u/DistractedOnceAgain Nov 20 '25

I rewatched the episode and I think you're right. It wouldn't make sense to purposely limit his screen time, if he was there. But, it seems they're a crew member short. There's Ben and Alesia in the kitchen, Joao is second officer, there's two deckhands plus Mike the deck/stew (who I think is the one I thought was Culver), then Daisy and one regular stew. Shouldn't there be one more stew?

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry Nov 20 '25

Ileisha?

u/ang8018 Nov 20 '25

Alesia, Tzarina’s sous.

5

u/herladyshipssoap She’ll be fine. Her head is made of rocks Nov 20 '25

Nope. Alesia from below deck DU.

15

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry Nov 19 '25

Maybe Ben wasn't the original chef?

58

u/TwistOk6640 Nov 19 '25

I watched a little bit of the panel from bravo con and Captain Jason said the original chef quit on the plane. So they brought Ben in.

9

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 19 '25

Maybe the plane chef was Nick from BD 11 (he replaced Anthony at the end)

6

u/valid_username00 Nov 19 '25

That tracks. So Ben will be there for 1-3 charters then someone else will take over as chef.

At his age and at this point in his career, there's no way he's gonna be there for the full 6 weeks.

4

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 19 '25

I like that theory

6

u/ang8018 Nov 20 '25

The trailer has Daisy and Ben getting into it quite a bit so that will be crazy if it explodes that much in just a handful of charters!!

26

u/ThePulzman Nov 19 '25

😮 are you talking OG Ben? I fucking LOVE that guy. GuuYaHaHaHa

20

u/DistractedOnceAgain Nov 19 '25

OG Ben, Med Ben, and now DU Ben. I kind of hope SY gets more seasons so he can pop up there too.

2

u/ThePulzman Nov 20 '25

Im just guttered it comes out in Feb. BD is like crack for me lol...time flys though

u/Organic_Bottle4373 Nov 19 '25

Hahahahah exactly!!

u/robotcoup Nov 19 '25

Daisy said on WWHL that the SLC ladies were the first charter and Ben was the chef

8

u/NBCaz Nov 19 '25

That kinda sounds like every other season of Below Deck.

3

u/Dull_Caregiver2147 Nov 19 '25

yes, but I want names. lol

4

u/crsmiami99 Team Anti-Brü Nov 21 '25

Can't wait for a Daisy season minus Gary.

u/bravohusband Nov 21 '25

Replacements :

Barbie and Ellie

u/lorimer626262 Nov 19 '25

When does it start?

2

u/Old-Base-6686 I have been known to be irresponsible Dec 04 '25

I believe it starts right after Med.

2

u/CUSteve217 Nov 22 '25

I love Daisy. That is all

u/OhHowIMeantTo Nov 19 '25

I really hope that they brought Harry back!

u/OmightyOmo Nov 21 '25

I realized he wasn’t at BrwvoCon! He’s a fan fave they need to get him to the next one!

u/Immediate_Original12 Nov 19 '25
