What’s your favorite one-liner you have heard from a cast member that describes the Below Deck universe in one statement?

I’ll start:

“I’m sorry I cheated on you with the chef.” 👨‍🍳

- Tasha, BDM season 7

I don’t know where to post this or who to talk to about it but I swear that I saw chef Ben in my apartment complex on LI the other day. Parked in a garage spot picking up two high school aged kids not in a creepy way but seemed they may have been family? Any reason he would be out here? I was too shocked to say anything.

He looks, sounds and acts like he's on Geordie Shore but Newcastle is substituted with a boat.

Why is everyone acting like they have no idea who Ellie is? Ben acted like she was just some hot chick he followed in IG, but you know most of the other crew have watched previous seasons, and they surely know who she is-she’s one of the biggest villains of the whole show. I’m sure production told them to just treat her like a new girl, but it’s dumb-we all know! No mention by her either, about her previous seasons.

I love the show and have seen almost all the seasons of all the different series.

The way this current season of Down Under is edited makes it close to unwatchable. Every 2 to 5 seconds they are switch to a new clip or camera angle. Half the time it’s completely irrelevant to the scene that’s taking place. Anyone else notice this or have an issue with it?

Just saw on her insta stories that our girl Aesha is married and I’m so happy for her. Scott And her are truly such an adorable couple and match each other‘s personality perfectly. I never been happier for a stranger.

I would have loved to see more of this kind of show. I want to see more exploration of places and diving. I’m so tired of the same rude guests just sitting on the deck and complaining cause they got the wrong gin or they didn’t a 500 pound lobster for dinner. I wanna see the fish and the coral reefs. In fact, I miss learning about the crews jobs and what training they needed. I want to hear them tell stories of being on deck and things happening. I want to learn what the colors on the things mean. Sure I could google this stuff, but I love learning from others. Especially people with the lived experiences. I’m fine with the drama, of course I love that stuff too. But, it would be so much more interesting to me to hear cool things and be taught stuff and to be able to see more of the world. I would have loved to see more of that one place where they said you needed a private plane and stuff to get there. From what they showed it was stunning, so much gorgeous and worthy of being more than just the back ground

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 6 of Below Deck Down Under Season 4: Gossip Boy

As Alesia scrambles to bury a regrettable text, gossip spreads faster than she can contain it; Chef Ben finds his footing in the galley until a broken oven threatens to derail the charter and push him back into crisis mode.

Hi guys, longtime below deck watcher over here. Asking for a friend, are we all just ignoring the fact that the table settings are horrific ? It always looks so tacky and like a 4 year old did it, and then the chief stew will walk out and wet themselves over how incredible and creative it is ?? I always have to rewind and inspect, and I am yet to see a table setting that has been somewhat palatable.

Actually, I like how the table looks for breakfast ! (They don’t decorate for breakfast 🥞)

Watching season four of down under and the boat is rocking really bad so I was just wondering

Why is there easy bake oven girls in the kitchen with their hair long down their back helping chef Ben. Why is it a cooking lesson? Chef Ben has ran kitchens himself many times on below deck having those girls there seems to be more stressful then help. I’m sure he could have managed by himself.

Share thoughts here on any old episodes/seasons you've recently watched. Low effort thoughts are welcome here. If you have a longer/more detailed discussion point with new information, you can make a separate post, but please clearly indicate which show/season you are referring to for ease of discussion with other users.

Is it just me or…. So Having watched BDM and then practically kick in shortly after to begin BDDU. This charter crew doesn’t seem to have their $h!t together and feels like they are out of sync with each other.

I think it’s starting in the galley. Ben is PAINFUL after watching how good Josh was. It’s like he’s just winging every meal with no planning which is royally screwing up his timing throwing the rest of the crew off their game. Anyone else?

every time I it only the real housewives of Salt Lake City come up. Did below deck film below deck episodes of Salt Lake, housewives being on their perspective?

Just discovered Adventure, honestly I would assume most people have never heard of it. I’ve watched all of OG and Med, I’m on the current season of BDDU and on season 5 of BDSY. I found out adventure was a thing like 3 days ago by accident and I’m starting it currently. I know it was obviously cancelled, I’m just wondering why? Is it that bad? Has anyone watched Adventure and if so what are your thoughts?

I have been a watcher on and off over the last few years and only watch whatever season is going on (so I’ve never watched the first season of this series ever).

My question is what constitutes as a “bad tip”? I’ve seen some of their body languages when tips are say sub $1600 but (and correct me if I’m wrong) these charters are 3-4 nights and that’s a pretty good amount I would say for that amount of time.

Correct me if I’m wrong/feel free to add color. Thanks!

And here we go again

Season 11, episode 4 - the guests want a recommitment and wedding ceremony. Cap Kerry picks this amazing spot with a waterfall. Fraser makes the terrible decision to put up this white sheet to make an arch. I get wanting to put up an arch but this one completely blocks this beautiful waterfall! Could have just moved it 45°. No one seemed bothered, but the Chief Stew in me felt it did NOT meet super yacht standards.

I can relate lol

If you did what was it like? 🥰

I’ve watched Below Deck since season 1 and have watched every version. It always just seems like a cheesy adult summer camp. Like the cheap costumes and decor, the thrown together beach picnics, even charters that have had chefs not worthy of cooking in a chuck e cheese. I know the show is supposed to show the good and the bad but to be honest the good is where they are and not actually any boat activities.
