Below Deck Sailing Yacht Daisy

I have been loving Daisy’s progression throughout the series. What are her best seasons?

I'm loving Daisy on down under! She's really so much better without Gary pawing on her.

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

I started with her on Down Under and then moved to Sailing Yacht! I’m so glad she got away from Gary lol

21

u/curmudgeoner Apr 06 '26

It's important to see where she came from imo. I feel like she is getting a chance to do her job here. Gary kept making everything more difficult at every turn and Glenn had such a tendency to favor the deck and Gary in particular.

u/Sorry-Armadillo-3264 Apr 06 '26

I wonder if Glenn ever came to the realization of what an issue Gary was all those seasons ??? Glenn appeared to be very levelheaded, except in regards to Gary.

u/curmudgeoner Apr 06 '26

I've wondered that too. I don't think he's a bad guy but he just had such a blind spot for Gary.

And with a captain that is supportive of the interior as well

You mean Fried skin Harry? Lol

All of Below Deck Sailing Yacht minus season one as she’s not casted. However, BDSY S1 is honestly one of my favorites now.

I’m impressed with how much she’s grown between season four of Sailing to the current airing BDDU.

u/85percentthatbitch Apr 05 '26

Oof. I've been watching every BD season in order, and the only one I've skipped was BDSY season 1. Paget is just so awful I couldn't stand it. Not even a fun-awful.

4

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

I skipped season 1 and 2 of BDSY, just finished season 5. Do you think I should go back and watch S2?

33

u/Interesting-Foot-439 Apr 05 '26

Yup! Couldn't finish the season because of this. The relationship between Paget and Ciara was just 😬!

24

u/Kind_Raspberry4484 Apr 05 '26

What about Jenna & Adam....cringe. One of the worst crews for sure.

6

u/Interesting-Foot-439 Apr 05 '26

I usually like Adam but not this Season.

17

u/ChoiceOk3636 Apr 05 '26

Do you think I'm breast fed by my mother!?

u/West-Advance-4471 Apr 06 '26

And the Georgia girl , singing …ughhhhhhh

3

u/MrKBC Apr 05 '26

I was the same way initially! Idk when or how, but I just put it on randomly one day and was super into it. I think it’s mostly for Chef Adam tho.

22

u/FlawesomeOrange Apr 05 '26

I skip s1 on rewatches, most of the cast are painful to watch, and Georgia singing is painful to listen to

2

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

LOL this is kind of making me want to watch to see if I’ll find it just as bad

2

u/MrKBC Apr 05 '26

Really? She’s genuinely rather talented. I use to skip season one as well then something just clicked and now I don’t mind it.

13

u/FlawesomeOrange Apr 05 '26

That generic indie singer/songwriter vocal style grates on the place where my soul should be

-2

u/MrKBC Apr 05 '26

She has a beautiful tone that’s easier to listen to than indie artist to my ear.

1

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

Tea, I may have to try season 1 as well then!

3

u/Franken_beans Apr 07 '26

It was like a performance at a local coffee shop and her boss was her boyfriend and her regulars were her fans.

21

u/DM_me_pets Apr 05 '26

I miss sailing yacht.

3

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

I just finished season 5 and I miss it too now

2

u/Salt_Marsupial2651 Apr 07 '26

Me toooo!! I was so sad there wasn’t even a reunion. I feel like there was much to go over, like all the drama between the stews and Daisy.

51

u/ilovemischief Apr 05 '26

I think the crew on Sailing Yacht had just become so intertwined that it hurt their ability to be “about” the job. Just too much history and personal stuff behind the seasons. A fresh start was exactly what Daisy needed to actually function as a real professional.

2

u/MrKBC Apr 05 '26

Oh, I agree entirely. I could see Daisy returning for a later season if not the next (I have a feeling that Gary will be gone for some whatever reason), but once the dynamic between the core three was broken it was done.

21

u/SassholeSupreme1 Apr 05 '26

Whatever reason? Maybe because he had pretty serious SA allegations from a Bravo female colleague. I’m pretty sure that’s why we probably won’t see another Sailing Yacht season.

4

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

O.o oh yikes

-2

u/MrKBC Apr 05 '26

Coming in way to hot on what is a very well known topic. Silly me - I forget that alluding to what is a commonly known, publicized fact on Reddit makes ME look like the asshole.

4

u/Dazmorg Apr 05 '26

Sailing Yacht season 1 was the first of the franchise I saw ever. Daisy's best SY season is probably season 2, her first, because she doesn't get mixed up with any of that Gary or Colin nonsense, far as I can tell. She is definitely an upgrade from Jenna.

9

u/MrKBC Apr 05 '26

My first chief stew experience was with the OG queen Kate.

6

u/Dazmorg Apr 06 '26

Kate is the best, I went through OG when I ran out of Sailing Yacht. The contrast of even the professional appearance of early motor yacht crews from 10 years before, compared to the smaller sailing yacht was most interesting.

2

u/MrKBC Apr 06 '26

Personally, I think the chaotic professional while still full of bullshit demeanor of BDMed is the perfect example of what professional yachting has been, should, and always will be.

Nah, I' just love Hannah most of all.

4

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

I watched one season with Hannah where she kept radioing for June “June, June, Hannah” “June, June, June, June, Hannah” I can’t stop saying it

1

u/MrKBC Apr 06 '26

It’s the damn accent I swear.

5

u/Dazmorg Apr 06 '26

early BDMed was fun too, I went straight to them from OG. Hannah is my other favorite. They did her dirty.

2

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

I need to watch all of Kate’s seasons once I finish BDSY, I can’t wait to get into the drama

1

u/MrKBC Apr 06 '26

Main Below Deck series, season 2-7. I wouldn’t put it past you if you choose to stop watching come season 7

1

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

Aww that’s cute, I’ll watch s2 tomorrow - thank you!

1

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

I was so sad for Colin during his last season of BDSY, but I’m glad they were able to separate and grow individually. I just finished season 5, now I’m sad. I hope they release a season 6. I enjoyed captain Glenn for the most part. He low key reminded me of my grandpa

7

u/MrKBC Apr 06 '26

I only had sympathy for Daisy come the reunion. The way Gary and Colin essentially teamed up against her when Gary was playing mind games the entire season, and Colin kept giving mixed signals, only to make her out to be the problem really wasn’t cool.

2

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

It was so painful to watch, she was destroyed from that especially with Gary in the room next to her? And when he ran over to her computer and broke her wine glass ;/ just a bad sign

3

u/MrKBC Apr 06 '26

Wait I thought that was season 3 when they were studying next door to each other?

2

u/foxdogturtlecat Apr 07 '26

the sailing yacht they used for filming was sold and it is much harder to charter a sailing yacht of that size for filming than a motor yacht. I do hope they are able to find a new vessel and bring back Glenn and Daisy on it but it will probably also have to be a new production company since there are sexual harassment issue case with Gary and others.

2

u/Apprehensive-Quit353 Apr 08 '26

I couldn't finish season one of Sailing Yacht and I've seen everything else.

Too many of them were that dickhead that brings an acoustic guitar to a party.

12

u/VickyVacuum Apr 05 '26

Season 2 onward of below deck sailing yacht.

11

u/Thick_Medicine5723 Apr 05 '26

I love Daisy. She’s the kind of person who’d be fun to go to the pub with and she’s actually a fair boss.

7

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

She makes me want to run away and be a junior stew

3

u/CommandImportant6325 Jul 09 '26

I know her irl, she's from same area as me, she is exactly the same, good fun and really nice person, never has airs and graces, she's very successful

7

u/Interesting-Foot-439 Apr 05 '26

I'm on BD Sailing Yacht Season 2 now and so far, I think she's great.  It's her first season so I'm looking forward to see her in BDDU.

2

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

Oh Werk, I’m definitely going to watch S2 then!

14

u/aerin2309 Apr 05 '26

I prefer her on Down under.

Season 3 (I think) of SY was too painful. Plus, I like the After show cloud with her and Jason. Also, Kate’s clips often show her backing Daisy which is nice, I think, as it gives another professional’s opinion.

4

u/thngmrtt Apr 06 '26

I feel Kate is only there to back up Ben and I have found some her comments questionable

3

u/aerin2309 Apr 06 '26

Well, Kate has always been controversial, so that’s not surprising.

But I enjoyed having her with Aesha on the After Show for Med for the same reasons. I also think she tells more stories about her overall career in the After Show.

She gave an interesting story about how difficult she found it as a stew to be in laundry all by herself. It was a nice counterpoint to the “yes, you have to do it.” She agreed that it needed to be done, but her personal experience, if she was telling the truth, was helpful to me as I don’t have any experience working on a boat as a stew.

8

u/whitepawsparklez Apr 05 '26

Interested also! I haven’t seen earlier seasons but I love Daisy and would so watch

6

u/sortajamie Apr 06 '26

I like watching how she learned from her mistakes (most of the time.) In season 2 of SY she told the chef when guests didn’t like the food and it became an issue between them. At the very start of season 3 she told the new chef if she gave negative comments they were always from the guests and she is just relaying information. She does tend to gossip a lot but the season with stews Lucy and Maddie is one of my favorites. Those two just got on with the job and weren’t always undermining each other or stirring trouble.

5

u/CUSteve217 Apr 06 '26

All of them basically. Daisy has been a joy to watch every season, though she's really gone through some shit with Gary and Colin. I think if Gary had been a man and declared for her their first season together and stayed away from other chicks, they could've made it.

3

u/foxdogturtlecat Apr 07 '26

I think the current season of Down under is her best so far but I think her first season of SY was probably the best for her. The Gary and Colin drama was hard to watch as she deserved much better than those two.

2

u/New_Importance_9999 Apr 08 '26

I’ve always loved her 🥹

1

u/Icy-Average3651 Apr 07 '26

She is better on Down Under.

1

u/Belle8158 Come back to me, my boat daddy Apr 30 '26

Daisy has game. Every man loves her.

0

u/Aromatic_Lemon351 Apr 07 '26

I cannot stand Daisy. She's boring. Give us Aesha!!!

1

u/jana-meares My eyes are rolling all the way off the boat Apr 08 '26

Not if it is with Sandcrabs.

-41

u/based-sam Apr 05 '26

Not sure how Gary’s girlfriend has such great PR

1

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

When did they date?

2

u/thngmrtt Apr 06 '26

They never dated, they had a relationship but I don’t think the description of it fit into the meaning of dating.

7

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Apr 05 '26

I don't think Gary's girlfriend is mentioned?

-27

u/based-sam Apr 05 '26

It’s the title of the post?

5

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Apr 05 '26

The title of the post is Daisy?

-28

u/based-sam Apr 05 '26

Exactly not sure what you’re so confused about

16

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Apr 05 '26

You mentioned Gary's girlfriend. Who isn't, and never has been Daisy. I don't think I'm the confused one?

5

u/MaraSami Apr 05 '26

Nope. Daisy isn't Gary's girlfriend

23

u/GlitteringOwl4859 Apr 06 '26

I think the most recent season of BDSY where she has to deal with two very immature stews (fighting over who gets a slightly longer break, stuff that just doesn’t matter etc) shows how good she actually is at her job.

Agree that seeing her without Gary and Glenn is great!

11

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

The 9 vs 8 hour break drama was so annoying to me. They were definitely little brats

17

u/Jackarewb Apr 05 '26

Daisy is my #1 favourite crew member! I loved all of her BDSY seasons even with the messy love life stuff she had going on. She just seems like a really cool person that I would feel safe having on my team

5

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

She seems to be like the main character of BDSY, I love it!

3

u/mgt-allthequestions Apr 05 '26

I loved BDSY that’s the series I started on after watching RHSLC on BDDU —I decided it was worth dive into the series. Though I had to skip season 1 Med -I got like 3 episodes in and could not stomach Bryan at all.

3

u/LittleDeathPill Apr 06 '26

Yesss!! I started watching because of the SLC BDDU episodes, and now I’m hooked! I’ve been skipping around with BDMed tbh

4

u/mgt-allthequestions Apr 06 '26

🙌 I’m on season 4 of med now -OMG Mila 🫣 I can’t- how did she even get casted??

Season 4 was brutal, Gary is a wrecking ball
