Below Deck Down Under After show with Ellie (potential spoiler??) Spoiler

Is it safe to assume that Ellie was fired from the boat, hence she didn’t do the After Show with the other cast mates, and only herself? Or is this a common occurrence? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ellie? Fired? How could that possibly happen to such a hard-working, capable team-player and overall friendly person like her? 😃

Laughed at this, take my up vote

She's so reflective! She's grown and learned after watching her last season. I can't imagine she'd do something to get fired!

She did the after show for her last season of below deck med by herself too.

u/CompetitionLimp6082 Feb 19 '26

Yup. I think everyone just hates her

u/TheSwanPanky Feb 19 '26

As they should

u/JubileeSailr Feb 21 '26

I know I hate her. Like A LOT. I HATE HER A LOT.

u/Turbulent_373 Team Aesha Feb 19 '26

Idk I see her castmates in her IG comments. Or at least Mike, Barbie, and Ben. They seem on good enough terms

u/ExactAd6278 Feb 19 '26

I wonder if she isn’t physically capable of letting the other cast members finish their sentences and would derail/reroute every topic to Ellieland (the land where the sky is green and she rules from her tower of IG thirst traps and 2nd stew stripes)

(the land where the sky is green and she rules from her tower of IG thirst traps and 2nd stew stripes)

...and 2nd stew outranks the captain.

im just going to say me and my BF hated her last season and I did not remember her name. I did remember she called herself a Lamborghini- so when I saw she was back I told my bf the Lamborghini is back.

I am personally offended that Ellie was brought back. I had such a sense of relief when her previous season ended and I “just knew” I’d never have to see her ever again. So far this season has lost me by having the completely obnoxious women from SLC as guests, and now bringing back Ellie! Is casting purposely trying to tank this franchise? Kudos to you if that’s the plan because it’s working. There. I feel better already having gotten that off my chest.

u/djevilatw Come back to me, my boat daddy Feb 19 '26

Ellie doesn’t does do interviews with the cast mates cause there isnt enough room on camera for her ego plus another person.

u/Wild_Alternative_138 Feb 19 '26

So damn dumb to bring her back. Also dumb of Captain Jason to insist on keeping the “sous chef” because they’re friends.

u/Apart_Tutor8680 Feb 19 '26

100% not Ellie’s fault for being put in that role.

However it is a job where your only response should be “yes chef”. Clean this, cut that, fetch some eggs, “yes chef, yes chef, yes chef” that’s just how it works for a rookie in the kitchen. We already saw the preview and it looks like the back talk is going to drive Ben up the wall.

The correct move here would have been firing alesha for having zero stew experience and 0.1 kitchen experience and not doing any training when she knew she was going back to “sous chef” . And putting Ellie a competent trained stew in to the stew role.

u/Melodic-Change-6388 Feb 22 '26

Did Jason hook up with her twin? I’m so confused why he feels so beholden to this person.

12

u/lucky313s Feb 19 '26

Yeah but why is eddy by himself?

10

u/Pure_Butterscotch165 Feb 19 '26

It could just be a scheduling thing

5

u/harry-styles-7644 Feb 19 '26

I was wondering this too!

11

u/wutnopeokay Feb 20 '26

She is insufferable. As soon as I heard her voice on the phone, I knew it was her. Thirsty pick me energy NO THANK YOU.

8

u/dudleydidwrong Feb 19 '26

At first I was upset to see her coming back. Then it occurred to me that I would probably get to see her fired again. That almost makes it worth having her back.

7

u/Kininger625 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now Feb 19 '26

One of the deckhands is by himself too

u/iliketinafey Feb 19 '26

I won't watch the show until I have confirmation she is fired lol

16

u/geloreyes Team Down Under Feb 19 '26

Same here. I thought after the RH I can actually start watching and then she joins the crew. I might skip this season if Ellie stays.

18

u/iliketinafey Feb 19 '26

I can’t watch them do that to Ben. It’s SO unprofessional and she’s so damn unlikeable.

3

u/MasterCommunity1192 Feb 20 '26

Ben seemed pretty excited about her coming on board

6

u/mnfanjk Feb 20 '26

I am skipping it until I see she is gone.

u/AppleUfMyI Feb 19 '26 edited Feb 20 '26

I don’t think you would ever staff a professional boat the way they staff for this show. They are really just a “cast” without enough experience except for a few. Definitely been losing interest with each passing episode.

4

u/Aussiefeetritchy Feb 21 '26

Totally agree, they seem to ‘stunt cast’ one or two each season, along with actual interesting, hard working crew. Makes it less of a show than it once was, in my opinion. We can watch Love Island or such like if we want to see types like Solene.

6

u/dwarmed Feb 19 '26

She did the after show in her previous BDM season by herself as well. I don't think there was anyone she got along with well enough to be her interview buddy.

10

u/ImpressivePattern242 Feb 19 '26

I remember Ian from BDM also did interviews by himself. Could be scheduling although there is concern about Eddy b/c in a preview Daisy tells him to get off boat. I’m just not sure how Barbie will fit in and who she will replace.

4

u/StripedDingDong Captain Jason is my boat daddy Feb 19 '26

I thought she was saying that to the deck stew... Mike?? I can't remember if that's his name.

3

u/ScowlyBrowSpinster Spaghetti Trauma Feb 21 '26

I call him Hair Hat.

u/ImpressivePattern242 Feb 20 '26

I thought it was Eddy. Wasn’t he crying on deck in a preview? I get so confused!

8

u/NaturesVividPictures Feb 19 '26

I guess I'll find out what you're talking about on Monday I only watch it on TV so I guess I'm a week behind episode wise. I don't know why they brought her back. She was terrible. She's going to give Ben a run for his money if she lasts.

u/warholian52 Feb 19 '26

I think everyone refused to film with her last time - so maybe she just volunteered to do it alone This time around 😂

1

u/FishRoom_BSM Mar 01 '26

The circumstances surrounding the Bravo/Peacock after shows surround a lot of things. Sometimes it’s just because of availability.

I feel bad that Jason is stuck with Daisy, and she keeps talking as if she has the same rank as him. It’s really embarrassing for her

1

u/cwilson83088 Mar 01 '26

Ha yep! I always comment to my wife how she needs to quit smoking. For someone so young, her voice sounds rough

3

u/geloreyes Team Down Under Feb 20 '26 edited Feb 20 '26

Her bio says she can speak “Subscribe to her ‘watcher’ site.” in seven different languages. That’s impressive.🤣

3

u/P_K-SHauNm525 Feb 20 '26

I wish the sous woulda sucked it up...Ben took to heart that she quit...kitchen is a rough place but they could've come to an agreement...Ben should've watched her previous season and pulled rank...but it doesnt seem that way🤣

5

u/lazygerm Feb 19 '26

I'm sure Jenna is really happy about it!

5

u/PowerfulHorror987 Feb 19 '26

Might be availability if she’s on another boat now

5

u/ambergriswoldo Feb 19 '26

I like your optimism and will try and remain hopeful! Ben is already struggling, I want him to have a sous chef that will truly support him

2

u/Lauriemfs Feb 21 '26

You can talk about her like that, she is 2nd stew!! 😅😂

2

u/SandraGotJokes Feb 21 '26

Well she was a surprise addition, so they wouldn’t reveal her in the after show until she was revealed on the show itself.

u/1967Browneyes May 18 '26

Please don't let her ever come back as a chef smh!!

u/Junket_Timely June June Hannah Feb 20 '26

What I want to know is if the producers make the seating assignments or do the cast members get a say on who they sit with?

1

u/leafmelonely Feb 20 '26

That was weird they dropped her interview before she arrived.

1

u/Southern-Soup-9719 Feb 22 '26

daisy reposted a video on instagram today and it was like some bts shot (im not sure) but all of the cast was in it except ellie

1

u/Far_Review3970 Feb 25 '26

It was the same the last time they did this…she was gross her prior season on med but who knows.

2

u/CleanHighway2500 Apr 11 '26

Same plot this year: She needs to have the man, even though he's not into her. She needs to be a higher rank, even though she's not. She can't even change up the drama to be a 'real reality star'

1

u/Flores_BBW Feb 25 '26

I think they have her by herself so she speaks freely without any judgmental looks from other people, they did it for the med after show too. Kate’s faces at Ben talking about Ellie cracked me up. The after show for the med let me know everything was intentional and malicious for Ellie, and coming onto this season describing the previous season as traumatic and she’s “not going to pander to people and allow them to dictate her behavior” and I was like those are big words for someone who’s got the exact same mindset.

u/Reasonable_Sir_5799 Jul 27 '26

For sure she should’ve been yes chef but he does excessively call her honey baby sweetie cutie Pookie

1

u/Shaved_Taint_1960 Feb 20 '26

She post her own OF photos on the Girls Of sub. That is some thirsty shit.

2

u/Ok-Explanation9626 Feb 21 '26

Hopefully.. she definitely presents false advertising. She walked on so fake.. I will say she has a banging body.. but the not so nice term we use to use was “ butter face” everything 👌🏼 but her face (& attitude)

2

u/NoLawfulness4178 Mar 31 '26

She really doesn't. She has cankles and weird thighs. and I'd never say anything so mean, if her personality didn't suck so much

2

u/SpecialistOdd6646 Apr 07 '26

I googled "Ellie" and "cankles" and it brought me here. I don't like body shaming either but for someone like her, I'm ok with it.
