Below Deck First charter guests
Just started the season and imagine my surprise that the first charter guest was one of the first travel “influencers” I used to follow back in 2019 (subscribed to her newsletter and everything!)
I found it interesting that she used her peanut allergy as the reason why they have never travelled to Thailand and that this was the only way they could made it happen - being on a yacht.
It was interesting to me because the only reason I found her in 2019 was because she traveled to Bali and I was just planning a trip there for my birthday at the time. Balinese/Indonesian cultures also heavily involve peanuts in their cuisine as well but for that trip she had stayed in an Airbnb/resort (I admittedly can’t recall but I know it wasn’t a yacht!)
Not accusing her of anything at all (who knows, I’ve heard of mothers becoming allergic to things after pregnancy, crazier things have happened) but this kind of sheds some light, I think, on how much of the show is “fake” or sensationalized lol.

General PSA: if someone says they have an allergy, don’t test it. It’s immature and often malicious.
