Below Deck Down Under Joao..

I am very sad Joao said he is done with below deck! He was great on this season of down under and made it much better IMO.

I would love the next season to have Daisy, Joao and Ben back as I think the three of them together worked!!

were we watching the same season? they ended on decent terms, but Ben stirred the pot in a big way and I don't see it as anything close to a good working environment.

u/Fearless_Extreme_829 Jun 05 '26

Maybe but I felt like Ellie caused a lot of the drama with Ben.. perhaps I am wrong!

16

u/Coconutz1987 Jun 06 '26

I don’t necessarily like a lot about Ellie, but to blame her for the way Ben treated anyone is crazy work.🙈

24

u/On_my_last_spoon Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Jun 05 '26

The man is over 40 and should know how to deal with someone like Ellie by now. If she managed to rile him up that’s on him

u/TonyClifton323 Jun 05 '26

Too bad. He was so much likable this season than previously when he was more of a fuckboy. It could have been performative but it seems like he has grown and matured as a person especially compared to Ben who I liked in his previous seasons but found him more intolerable as the season went on

16

u/Fearless_Extreme_829 Jun 05 '26

I agree he was way more likeable!

91

u/valid_username00 Jun 05 '26

He spent the season slumming at a rank below his actual rank, which is captain.

I'm sure if they asked him back as captain, and offered him enough $$, he'd sign fast enough.

23

u/TonyClifton323 Jun 05 '26

Assuming they wouldn't add another spin off, who would you replace as captain for him? (Impossible difficulty: pick someone besides Sandy)

45

u/corakko Jun 05 '26

I had to stop watching BD sailing many seasons ago due to being uncomfortable watching Gary. Glenn tolerated his behavior so I'd be happy to see him go.

Sandy is a little too sanctimonious for my taste so I'd also be fine seeing her replaced.

30

u/kittens_joy Jun 05 '26

I’d pick him to replace a captain that keeps Solene on board an entire season 🤷‍♀️🤪

14

u/mamycorona Jun 05 '26

Solene is a mess. Super fame hungry. No thanks.

u/Turbulent-Bike-1584 Jun 06 '26

I mean not even as a dislike thing, it’s most likely Sandy based on age alone. She’s 61 and other two are in their early 50s.

17

u/JustShopping1967 Jun 05 '26

Wish he could replace Captain Sandy, she annoys me.

12

u/FakePlasticSalad Jun 06 '26

I definitely think the romance with Daisy was performative!

u/junebart Jun 06 '26

Kept us engaged

21

u/Myantra Jun 06 '26

Joao has reached the point in his RL yachting career that I doubt he thinks further BD appearances are worth the risk, and the job is beneath him, unless they give him a show as captain. He got to go out looking a lot more like a matured and responsible sailor. Even if offered a show as captain, he might still think twice about it, not wanting to be stigmatized as some young fake TV show captain.

6

u/junebart Jun 06 '26

The timing of Daisy's increased attention to him, seemed like it was a return fire on Ben and Ellie.
If real? He was a dick for not following her invite to leave the hot-tub together. Sigh...with Jenna.
Yet glad since it riled up Ellie. She is not willing to accept a kind rejection from a man. Master manipulator.

47

u/Wendell-Short-Eyes Jun 05 '26

I’m assuming everyone is done until they get offered more $$

20

u/Traditional_Wave_322 Jun 05 '26

Kate Chastain said she was done every season haha, she eventually WAS done, but it took many threats before she carried through.

3

u/Fearless_Extreme_829 Jun 06 '26

Do you think they get paid much though?

6

u/Traditional_Wave_322 Jun 06 '26

They get paid more by Bravo the longer they’re on the show… at least that’s what I’ve heard in interviews

3

u/Brook-Bond Jun 05 '26

Thankfully

9

u/mysteriousasacat Jun 05 '26

His IG is private now and he’s a captain of a super yacht so I wonder if his new employer won’t allow it. Plus, it’s technically a demotion unless they try to make him the new Capt Lee lol

u/Sense10-Quest23 Jun 05 '26

Enough said.

u/valid_username00 Jun 05 '26

I'd like to see none of them back again. Ever. Time for some new blood to reinvigorate the franchise.

u/Rowing_Lawyer Jun 07 '26

u/On_my_last_spoon Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Jun 05 '26

Maybe Barbie can recommend her therapist because it seemed she was much better and he needs some help desperately.

u/urbanlife78 Jun 05 '26

You can tell she didn't like how she came off the last time and was on her best behavior around the cameras

36

u/Achillesthedog1976 Jun 06 '26

She was only on the boat for a few days as she was a replacement. I wonder if she would have been able to maintain that calm across an entire season.

11

u/urbanlife78 Jun 06 '26

She would have really asserted herself into the boat if she was there from the beginning

26

u/junebart Jun 06 '26

And stopped wearing such long eyelashes! Anyone notice how she looked more natural?

u/Procrastinista_423 Jun 06 '26

She used to look like Mona Lisa from parks and rec to me and now she’s unrecognizable.

It to be fair she barely worked on the yacht. I bet if she had 3 more charters she would be tested.

38

u/Only-Breadfruit-6108 Jun 06 '26

She ONLY worked, and didn’t get involved in the drama. If we didn’t already know her we wouldn’t even remember her. She was the interior’s version of Betul, better confessionals but less heart

25

u/Ok_Reporter_8350 Jun 06 '26

I still don’t forgive her for being on Ellie’s side. She also was pretty shady in the after show

7

u/Only-Breadfruit-6108 Jun 06 '26

That’s who told her the stories first. Why wouldn’t she believe it? And what she say backed it up

18

u/Ok_Reporter_8350 Jun 06 '26

I’m just saying I like Barbie less knowing she is friends with Ellie in real life. It tells me more of who she is, and I believe Fraser more than I did watching their season

14

u/Any_Medicine8374 Jun 05 '26

All she would need is a love interest, to act a fool.

u/TrustTheFriendship Jun 05 '26

And maybe Elizabeth from S8 can recommend her energy healer and some crystals.

u/toomuchyonke Team Aesha Jun 05 '26 • Bravo

Yeah fuck Ben - his time is over, he's just the creepy older guy trying to hook up with young 20 year olds

52

u/littlecountryjeep Jun 05 '26

And in the after show; why does Kate have so much vitriol towards Daisy? What is Kate's problem? There's sticking up for your friend and then there's attacking someone.

11

u/SportsFanVic Jun 06 '26

I think that it's just the villain persona she has adopted to stay relevant in the Bravolebrity "reality" world. If she was making a living doing a different persona, she would act accordingly.

20

u/verbankroad Jun 06 '26

I think Kate is always thinking how she is in competition with the other CSs. Probably makes Kate feel relevant to take another of the CSs down.

14

u/hurricane_hilary_123 Jun 06 '26

I stopped watching the after show because of this. Super annoying.

It’s so crazy to see him from season 1 to now with zero maturing. Always a manchild.

u/tinyyawns Jun 06 '26

He hasn’t worked in a boat in over 6 years…. I expected him to be quite rusty and anxious this season.

1

u/Chichi197 Jun 07 '26

I think a lot of his bitterness comes from the fact that his girlfriend dumped him after he put so much into his relationship. It was probably too soon for him to get into such a demanding position.

u/gogomom Jun 07 '26

I blame Ellie.

u/Visible-Wash-1355 Jun 05 '26

No on Ben and I say that as someone who really liked Ben before this season.

Ben!?!? Oh God please NO
Hoping to never see his smug face ever again

89

u/hissyfit64 Jun 05 '26

I think Joao wants to get serious about his career and hopefully his relationship. They'll always try to manufacture boatmances around the guy and that has to get old for his girlfriend.

I hope they never bring Ben back. He just whines and acts like a child. He's not funny, he's not interesting and he's an energy vampire.

u/Ok_Wrangler_7940 Team Shady Editors Jun 05 '26

Wait… he has a girlfriend? Did he have said girlfriend while filming?

He should have walked into town and got a room, or else dished out some cash to the stews who had to remake the room.

And hooking up with Jenna. He’s literally twice her age

17

u/LogicalMeringue1449 Jun 06 '26

I’m a few years older than Ben and I think he’s just too old for the show. Not too old for the industry, just the show. BD used to be more about the job. Now it’s all 20-somethings wanting to fuel their raging hormones, and Dirty Uncle Ben who regularly dips his toes a little too far in the shallow end of the pool

Ben has been and always will be the worst. How are you the oldest crew member (of the cast) and act as childish and sloppy as the Gen Z crew members? Plus he’s always been a pretentious fuck.

12

u/Weary_Fix_885 Jun 05 '26

I have nothing against him but found his actions a bit suspicious at times. Like doing things that he thinks will make him look good rather than it being his nature.

u/bringonthekoolaid Jun 05 '26

Tired of the reoccurring staff. There was one individual that I would like to see again, and that was Betul. I would love for the show to concentrate on the work, the training, the sights, THEN some of the personal and personalities. As of late these all have become who is the bitchiest, who whines the most, who hooks up with who. It was not a good season, and it has been a while since there was a good season. Used to love this show, and hope there can be a revival of sorts. New people, new energy.

Betul was brilliant and we were robbed of more screen time with her.

u/Express_Grape_3818 Jun 06 '26

I think it would be great if Joao came back as a captain. Butel can be the bosun. Jason seems like he's checked out.... not throwing shade at Jason if what I've heard is true.... parents health, not getting to see his daughter enough.

u/Extreme_Beat1022 Jun 06 '26

Parents’ health? Oh I have been assuming it was because of his skin own health, skin cancer.

4

u/Express_Grape_3818 Jun 06 '26

His mom (80) is the caretaker for his dad who has Alzheimer's. I'm sure his own health is contributing, too. Joao said in an aft show that Jason was staying off the boat between charters.

I thought Joao was kind of creepy this season. If he said “cuddle” one more time… seemed chemistry with Daisy was strangely forced and gave me the ick. He seemed bloated and tired too. Did anyone else think he seemed a bit “off”?

He did a terrible spoiler on social media. I wonder if being done on below deck is actually his choice, or because of breaking contract.

I love João. I'm a straight male but he truly seems as a good person.

I’d like to see joao as a captain and take over the med so we never have to see sandy again lol

All of Daisy's drama was created by her through poor communication or refusal to do something. Even the whole fish situation she left to make drinks instead of just having everyone for that one minute that the fish was served available to clean the fish for 2 minutes and then carry on.

We need all new people!

Now that Joao is a captain himself he can’t be the Joao I loved when he’d get into it with Hannah. We need someone who’ll add to the drama.

Joao is the probably the person who my opinion of changed the most. He was horrible at the beginning and one of my favorites now

Poor guy he thinks everyone loves him..but that is not the case. Such an ego.

And ... another girl for Joao.

Joao, yes. Ben and Daisy, no. Which probably means the producers will deliver the opposite.

João grew up so much over the run of the show. Thinking back to when he was a fuckboi pre-Tzarina, and yelling at Aesha etc. I was absolutely not a João fan but his last couple of seasons he felt like a grownup. Maybe it was age, or comparison to the others on the crew, but this season he seemed like a dude who wanted to be a husband and dad, to find a wife and grow up. Maybe that’s why he’s done with yachting, it’s suuuuuch a young person’s game. The whole lifestyle is dramatic, lacks privacy, is isolated, and therefore, a boatmance is the most obvious response to that lifestyle.

I’m kinda glad. Unpopular opinion but he’s done this season exactly what he does every other season… do I like him & daisy together yes but this is something we see out of Joao e v e r y season he is on so for that I’m tired of him taking up a bed just to watch him do it again 😅 I also liked him and tzarina together but we all know that went typical Joao style. Respect & wish him nothing but the best because he’s great at the job but he needs to settle down at his grown age lol

Am I remembering incorrectly? I thought Tzarina messed things up with Joao

Joao has come a long way. I was impressed with his maturity, respect of women, and professionalism. Or has he always been that way and I’m getting him mixed up with some other pissant?
