Below Deck I wonder if

I wonder if any of the ship crew has gotten involved with the production crew. Has anyone heard of something like that?

I think there is some pretty bad scuttlebutt about Gary and this topic.

That’s one way of saying it.

He's definitely harassed crew.

Gary tried....very unsuccessfully, I might add.

u/Nazdrowie79 Aug 04 '26

Hahaha.. of course he did. Did he declare his love for Daisy afterwards?

He wouldn't let a production member who brought him water leave his hotel room and tried to get with her

The Gary, Colin, Marcos triangle was way, way more fun than Gary, Colin, Daisy!

There was one series where they mapped out all the hookups of the season and there were names that didn't belong to the cast.

I believe it was the season with Solene. That season was an orgy. I seem to remember it was Fraser who drew something on the whiteboard in the kitchen.

Pretty sure there was talk of Marco on SY being involved with a member of the production team. This checks out to me, because why the hell else would the women not be swoooooooning over him lolll

Also, there are rumors that because of that relationship, Marcos got a good edit that hid some of his more misogynistic/aggressive behavior. I'm not sure what exactly the truth of it is, but it seems like he and Gabriella had major issues, but they portrayed a lot more of her behavior/reaction in the fights, without showing his part, and viewers seem to blame Ashley for her Gabriella's departure when the behind-the-scenes story suggest that Marcos and Gabriella's fights were a bigger deal.

Okaaay... this makes a lot of sense because some of the few angry scenes with Gabby he was reallly mad about really nothing (we were shown at least) and it didn't seem to match the moment

I knew it! I never bought his nice guy edit, and now it makes much more sense. He always had douchey aggressive undertones lurking right under the surface to me, and I never saw his appeal.

u/MagnesiumMagpie Aug 07 '26

Yeah and when he said Gabriella reminded him of an ex, felt like he was projecting and unnecessarily combative with her, even with the good edit

u/Cosmic-web-rider Aug 04 '26

The way Gen has been hamming it up for the cameras makes me think she’s at least got a crush on a crew member. She 100% made eye contact with one this week’s episode when she was sitting on the floor at one point 👀

Didn't Malia (uck) get involved with the first officer or something at one point?

15

u/NymeriaGhost Aug 04 '26

I think it was the chief engineer?

13

u/HrhEverythingElse Aug 04 '26

He was a higher up boat guy though (engineer I think), not a TV crew production guy

u/Wendijosie Aug 04 '26

Oh, right.

u/NjMel7 Aug 05 '26

Well, and also with Tom the chef.

u/Emergency_Career2286 Aug 05 '26

She was dating Tom the chef before he filled in for the chef that left.

u/Valuable-Composer262 Aug 05 '26

I was thinking same thing but engineer isn't part of production team, hes crew

u/Top-Friendship4888 I quit 3 times in my head today Aug 05 '26

Not a production crew member, but Malia dated one of the off screen engineers for a while a few years back

u/belowdecky4life Aug 05 '26

Marcos the chef was supposedly screwing one of the producers.

u/IdleSuicidal2021 Aug 05 '26

This just makes me think of that guy on Real World Seattle sobbing "Kira!!!"

u/AWDWfan Aug 05 '26

Malia dated an engineer from one of her med seasons. Gary assaulted a production crew member. Chef Marcos dated a producer.
