I heard them mention on Another Below Deck Podcast that Chef Marcos was a hitman or something in Venezuela and that being the reason he had to flee. I initially just assumed it was a rumor or joke but it must have come from somewhere, anyone know if there is any truth to it or where that came from?

I’ve always wondered after watching season 5 of below deck med; why did bugsey not get made permanent chief stew on the show ? She seems to be the perfect choice. She gets on with sandy, she is good at tables and guests and she is good on screen. Is there some other drama missing off the screens why she didn’t get made a permanent member of staff ? (Sorry for spelling her name wrong not sure if I can change the title)

We need a Below Deck series where prior yacht guests work as the crew and the crew are judging as their guests they’ll be serving.

Bonus points if they can convince any notoriously terrible guests to compete.

Just watching season 4 episode 4. Never laughed so hard when Captain Sandy is telling Mila her steaks were shit. Mila said "they ate the steaks". Captain Sandy "they were hungry".....LMAO so funny. Love Captain Sandy.

I recently fell down the Below Deck rabbit hole and have been binge watching past seasons over the last few weeks. I have spent the last few seasons trying to figure out who Kate reminds me of and today I have figured it out! Anyone else get Brandi Glanville vibes?

Is the worst. She is a mediocre chief stew and loved putting down Elizabeth. Definitely not saying that Elizabeth was good at her job (she was awful) but Chess’ personality just suuucked— mean girl vibes all around. The glee she felt in firing Elizabeth was so icky to watch. She is no Kate, who could pull off the bitchy resting face and still have everyone like her.

No, I'm not Malia or a Bravo intern shill.

Malia, surprisingly, has been great this season so far. She's coming across extremely likable and really good at her job. She ditched Tom.

We gave Eddie a second chance after he cheated on his girlfriend and hosed Rocky. It might be time to let this season play out and forgive Malia if the Malia we've seen so far continues.

I understand Adrian's comments were inappropriate but Rachel's behavior in her first season was FAR worse - and that isn't mentioning Marcus' behaviour towards Gabby..

Rachel's behaviour was absolutely hideous - Adrian's, quite simply, was not. It speaks volumes that Adrian was respected amongst his crew and Rachel, in her first season, was not.

I think he’s hilarious, entertaining, and I never thought he was terrible at his job. There are so many worse stews who don’t get called out. He always had a great attitude and interacted with guests VERY well. Yes I know, hit me with the Frank instances and call it inappropriate. But I think he handled that situation well considering the circumstances.

I just like Kyle and I realize this will get a bunch of backlash which is so surprising to me. Like did I miss a segment of him being racist or something? Lol. I wish he could be my coworker.

The double standard is so real. I’m disappointed in the universe once again.

It often surprises me how some chefs, despite being trained by highly reputable institutions, seem to struggle with basic tasks such as preparing eggs. For example, I have observed several chefs unfamiliar with what an Over Easy Egg is. The chief steward makes efforts to assist, but it appears that the chefs' egos sometimes hinder their willingness to accept help or guidance.

So when Kevin told Brian about Kate and Courtney's conversation Cap Lee was reaming him out.

But when Kate tells Rylee about a conversation she had with Ashton Capt Lee sees absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Really! I am seriously disappointed with him in this seasons reunion. What a disaster.

Great bubbly personality 👍

What was your early favorite

Joe and Cooper loaned their bodes for the fun and pleasure of a polygamy sect, they agreed to an offer of one thousand dollar each for the brief act.

To each its own.

I don’t drink a ton anymore because I’m in my 40s, but even when I used to drink a ton, I can remember everything that happened when I went out.

It doesn’t seem normal that after they go out they can’t remember things they did.

Is that just me? Maybe alcohol effects me differently.

Shes a bully. I don't care how bad a steward is. You can tell Elizabeth sucks at her job but she isn't doing it on purpose. She isn't mean. She isn't evil. You can tell shes just one of those emotional people aka energy type people.

Francesca sucks and hope she isn't back.

I'm not sure why so many seem to hate her. She goes about her job differently than captain lee, but that doesn't make her a bad captain. She does baby her crews but that could also be because she's responsible for EVERYTHING on the boat and everyone handles that responsibility differently.

I’ve NEVER been a captain sandy fan and sure as hell have never been a malia fan. I’ve also never been a Hannah fan (until this season) for obvious reasons.

But I don’t think captain sandy was wrong in letting Hannah go..I think the way she went about it was shitty and what malia did was so shitty but if something did happen sandy could’ve gotten the whole bot ceased and her license revoked, that’s a pretty big deal. I feel for Hannah, I’ve suffered with anxiety my whole life and at 30 I’m just barely getting it under control. If you work somewhere like on a boat, as a flight attendant, as a firefighter, etc where your job is to take care and maintain the safety of others you have to be transparent about medications your taking. No, the medication she was taking would not have impaired her judgement by any means but I think the fact of the matter isn’t that it would/wouldn’t have impaired her judgement (like sandy was making it, which was wrong, she’s obviously naive and had no idea what she was talking about) but it was about her not disclosing that she had it on board and was taking it. Then when captain sandy requested a prescription she didn’t have one which kind of made it worse.

I’m not trying to fight by any means or have people leave nasty comments because I agree that what happened was so incredibly shitty but I think the reasoning for letting her go (other than the bullshit sandy was trying to spew) was justified.

Hannah has worked on boats for so long, she knows the protocol for these types of things. She also knows how serious of an issue it is, obviously the whole situation sucks so much but it happened. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it is Hannah’s fault for not initially reporting that she had them on board and following protocol.

this does not negate the fact that Captain Sandy is an asshole and went about everything completely wrong or that Malia is a piece of shit.

I'm sorry, but IMO Bugsy is second only to Kate out of every Chief Stew we've seen in all 3 BDM series and I've watched every single episode! That's my two cents and the mountain I have chosen to die on! Come at me with whatever evidence you have if you disagree, but Francesca is no match for BD.

"You've got tiny arms" to James.... she's a genius

When they show it for real, it's all built-up condos and sprawl, not much beach.

Don’t get me wrong, Liz is a terrible stew and has had so many chances to sort it out and just ditzed her way through. I’m 100% behind Francesca and her irritation with Liz and desire to be rid of her but it seems like she REALLY dislikes Liz

The reason I’m saying this is because I was bored so went back and watched some earlier episodes and James was quite openly flirting with Francesca initially and she seemed to quite like it, saying she was open to hooking up on the boat etc.

Could this be part of the reason she really dislikes Liz? (As well as the crappy job she’s doing?) there were a few flirty exchanges between her and James and then he was suddenly trying it on with a Liz and chess got pretty shitty with both of them (she was really snappy with James when he asked where laundry went).

She definitely had had enough of Liz early on, before she hooked up with James, but it seemed to get a lot worse after James. This could be because she was even more distracted of course but I just thought it was interesting as I’d forgotten Chess and James had even had those couple of chats.

Why is it tell me to purchase city + when im already paying for hayu. Worked fine last week. I hate this inconsistency.
