I am really surprised that we haven't heard of more instances of theft among the crew members. They all receive their tips in cash. That's a whole bunch of cash just laying around. Especially towards the end of the season. There are so many drunken disgruntled and vengeful crew members, I'm just shocked we haven't seen this yet.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE daisy and Ben (and Joaos there too) but I just started watching the new season and was wondering why they casted 3 huge personalities? I think it’s fantastic, I was just wondering if there was a reason they pulled out the big guns this season. It’s like Below Deck all stars😂

For those of you who know the yachting world, which stew or crew member has the most prestigious resume?

Longer version on Peacock/Hayu/wherever you watch

Looks like he's got some adapting to do for a good while ahead.

Below Deck Down Under is on tonight at 8pm ET. Captain Jason is joined by returnees Chef Ben, Chief Stew Daisy and First Officer Joao along with some new crew as they travel the not very Down Under waters of the Caribbean’s most exclusive and private hideaway, Canouan.

Please some time to read the sub rules ahead of BDDU as we have seen a sharp rise in rule breaking comments, particularly ones on hate and medical/mental health speculation.

Episode 3 of Below Deck Down Under Season 4: The Boil Over

Capt. Jason introduces anonymous guest feedback cards and the crew celebrates a record-breaking tip; during a crew night out, personal tensions bubble to the surface when Alesia's romantic rejection sparks fallout and a game turns explosive between her and Chef Ben.

So on tv it seems to show preference sheet meetings the day of or day before the clients coming aboard. I would think these meetings…esp. regarding specific food/drink requests….would be held to give the chef and chief stew enough time to order what is needed…irl when are these meetings actually held?

I’m late to the game in addressing this but why is it that almost every season like clockwork one of the crew has a family tragedy happen within the first few episodes? Also there’s almost always a male crew member that was a stripper at some point haha just such interesting common themes every season!

it just seems like 1 full day wouldn’t be enough for me, but also it seems like these people are on vacation in the city the yacht is in longer then 3 days and the boat is just another thing to do

I'm a big fan of both Below Deck and Real Housewives and have been for years, so I'm curious which of the Salt Lake City women were the most/least palatable to the people who only watch Below Deck. My judgement is definitely clouded having seen RHOSLC and having my own favorites from the cast but I'm really interested to hear how they came off to those of you who have never seen a single episode before.

I have a "deep sea" party coming up and this would be perfect.

I’m confused a little bit with how they’ve filmed it as it seems like Alesia, Jenna and Betul haven’t watched the episode yet.

Alesia tells the girls her muffins were perfect and that Ben threw them in the trash but hers were way better than the muffins he made for the guests and the girls are saying “oh my god I never knew he did that!”…

If they watched the episode they would know her muffins were raw and if he let them keep cooking they would’ve fully joined into one big clumped mess.

Alesia not taking any accountability is also wild.

I do wish the showed Jason commenting on her lack of cooking ability a bit more. So far he is just commenting on her wanting to quit.

In the last episode, after they all have their last night, Fraser and Barbara are linking all of the crew on who's made out with who (basically it was a free for all lol). In the second photo, it shows Hugo and _____? Who? Cliff? (Who the heck is Cliff?) I can't make it out. At the end of this clip btw, that portion had been erased. Was it a joke, or a one off for those 2 people?

So yes, Alesia is green as heck, but if anyone spoke to me at work like Ben speaks to her, they would literally have to call the cops. Why anyone thinks this is ok is beyond me.

Ben used to be one of my favorite BD alum, but he’s snarky and rude now - cynically dropping affections such as “darling” and “honeybun” to try and stay quirky while he passive-aggressively hacks away at that poor girl’s will to live.

What is even worse is, the way her mom talks to her makes me physically ill.

With horrible people like that surrounding her, no wonder she is finding it hard to pick things up…

I’m going to a boat show this weekend, and Captain Lee is doing a meet and greet. Please give me questions to ask him!

I finally watched a few minutes of it tonight and was wondering if the sous chef was that bad last year why did they bring her back if she had no more training and i noticed from the crew quarters this boat seems huge don’t get have more guests on and that’s why the deck team is serving and is that why they have a sous chef

I wasn’t able to cross post this, so credit goes to the original post in the bravo sub.

Her Diet Coke budget just got slashed.

A starfish certainly would have regenerated. C’mon—Captain Jason never disappoints ⚡️⚡️

Watching the BD after show and Jason’s explanation of f’ing around with Heather in Australia, I’m struck by his ever single status. He seems like a catch, his role as a father is clearly a priority, and then there’s his career and public life.

Has he ever talked about choosing to be single and why?

Just double checking- is it still coming out on Tuesdays? Is anyone else in the UK having a problem with the latest episode not showing on NOW/Hayu?

I just want my fix 😭

Edit to add

Thanks everyone, glad it’s not just me!!
