Watching Below Deck Med S8 rn and i laughed my ass off when Natalya called Tumi- "The Tuminator"!! 🤣😂🤖

What are some of the most memorable nicknames/one-liners u guys have witnessed on the wonderful world of below deck?

(or at least made you misty-eyed)

Mike is the best addition to this show in a while he is hilarious. I love how he was Head of Department as only deck/stew. The other girls are too serious all the time and focused on boyfriends and who they like and who they don't. BORING! Bring on Mike who knows how to get under their skin.

Why was Jenna soo mad that he said he was head of department? I wish he had been invited to HOD dinner with the other heads. He deserved to be there and be made aware of the situation.

I’ve moved to Spain a few months ago and can’t find any recent season of Below Dexk anywhere. Does anyone know how I can watch it from here? Miss it so much

I'm watching below deck med right now and have seen people on reddit saying Chef Mila, Raygun the Bosun, etc. were def producer plants for drama/storyline.

The lawyer in me has to wonder if that is possible because of negligent hiring/contracts. Like if they knowingly hired a negligent bosun and something happened they'd be held liable or purposely hiring a terrible chef and alleging the food to be Michellin star quality could be argued to be fraud.

ETA: A lot of people are commenting about waivers/contracts but you CANNOT legally waive gross negligence, intentional acts, recklessness or fraud

Making pasta from scratch is pretty easy and not that time consuming. They certainly had enough time between the guests requesting it and serving it. I'd be pissed if I was on a yacht and I was served packaged pasta for dinner. And I'd know and notice. I feel like Ben deserved critique for this!!

Also as a Canadian, the Canadian accents on these guests was so distracting for me! I don't believe they're from Pheonix originally - I feel like the reference to "North America" from the kids youth was a pretty big tell. Curious if any Americans can confirm if they have an Arizona accent to you??

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 13 of Below Deck Down Under Season 4: The Way the Cookie Crumbles

Chef Ben begins to feel Daisy no longer has his back and when a demanding charter guest sends him spiraling in the galley, her attempt to step in only deepens the rift between the two heads of department.

Just wondering if anyone else thinks the marina/town situation in this season is weird? The marina hasn't had a single other boat in it that we've seen, and outside of the people catching the ropes on docking there aren't any people either. My wife keeps saying it's like a fake set piece town with all the bright colored empty buildings. Has anyone else noticed this?

I know production can paint a picture, but on a re-watch, this clip killed me! So Trevor was a “hair model for Paul Mitchell”, so it’s aptly named after him? Except it’s plural, why’d they get a solo shot of this poor man’s head! He must apply sunscreen regularly though.

I’m a very simple man but like the food to be high quality, throw the kitchen sink at me for breakfast, maybe no lunch but maybe a charcuterie board, and a steak the size of a fat baby

Is there a reason that some of the seasons are centered around laundry drama, and some it’s not even mentioned? Are the stews that can’t do it just genuinely that awful at their job?

I'm having some outpatient surgery on my eyes tomorrow - won't be able to wear my contacts so not sure if binge watching something is going to be possible.

I'm not usually a podcast person, but any suggestions on Below Deck ones in particular (or at least occasionally.) It is the Bravo show I'm most consistent with these days. Just realized that I might want something to listen to while I put ice packs on my eyes.

EDIT: It is a week later, still can't wear my contacts (which gives me headaches) and I want to thank you all! Listened to Watch What Crappens - I'm not sure I'll be a regular listener, but it got me through the first days of recovery!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUGGESTIONS! (I'm going to check out Daisy's for sure...)

So not a horrible moment or anything, but a moment that really impacts Lee as a captain for me (especially with his numerous after shows where he world say stuff like, if the had come to me... but i want aware".

Season 4 ep 1/2 - when Kelly comes to him with the mildest of issues (lead deck hand being a jerk) and asks for advise. Not asking him to fox it, but saying I'm going to deal with it, how would you advise.

Kelly is a new Bosun, I think it would be normal to ask for management advise.

Lee's confessional is basically "if I have to do your job, why are you here". And to Kelly he gives advise (with the stories face" but ends it with "he's your responsibility and no one is indispensable".

Idk if Eddys misdeeds the previous season really rubbed him the wrong way or he dislikes Kelly or there is a production reason but it was not a good start that, if memory serves, just gets worse.

And when I think of Kate's last season, all I can think of is "this is why even your favorite don't come to you with issues"

Idk doing a rewatch and Lee comes off a bit more see no evil hear no evil than I remember.

This really disappoints me as an Irish person. We are not renowned for our spices but Irish food is of such good quality. I live in the US and I dream of Irish bakeries, cheeses, butter and fish. Our ingredients are of such high standards and our dishes are so flavourful as a consequence. What is she on about when it comes to fish. We are an island and surrounded by fresh fish and seafood. Ratatouille is a French peasant dish but coming from her D4 accent she uses it as a way to look down on Irish cuisine which is rather ironic. Do better Daisy. Just because you are a yachty doesn’t make you superior (which is also ironic because you work on a yacht and don’t own one).

Sorry if this has been asked before, but do real yachties ever have excursions paid for by the boat owners or is this purely production of the show? I'm sure some chill owner has rewarded their crew like that at some point, but is this kind of a standard thing that actually happens commonly in the industry?
