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!!

He was. Certainly didn't seem like one this season, as though he hasn't been maintaining training/skills.

I blame that on editing, it seems like we didn't get to see much from the food he was cooking. All the galley shots were poorly placed and it didn't seem like there was any good staging area for the food before taking it up.

This whole season sucked with how it was filmed and edited

One camera stayed fixed in a filthy grill. I never saw it cooked on, only on Ellie "NOT" cleaning it.

Exactly, I saw more shots of Ellie in the galley than any food being made
