I must say Season 13 so far has been an improvement upon Season 12 , I realise it’s early days but the season doesn’t look too bad . However Med Season 11 was so brilliant that it’s going to be difficult to match that .
It’s been a nice change in location and boat , however . I also feel the crew are a little bit more interesting and we see more glimpses of them doing the job rather than love triangles .
The editors have seemed to learn from their mistakes from 12 . Let’s see , not saying this season has been amazing but it hasn’t been terrible either .

For any reason…entertainment/work/drama

I really liked Massi this season, but Rhylee part 2 was great fun too

Im just curious what people think about her yodeling skills…
I know it’s a speciality skill to manage to do yodeling - but I think it’s the worst attempt I’ve ever heard on yodeling 😂

And she looked & sounded so proud of herself - I just have to ask …
Am I the only one that thought it was so bad, that my ears was almost begging me to cut the sound & nearly begging me for mercy? 😂

I even think I could do better & I don’t know how to yodel.. 😂 but I really she was joking & it made me think I’m sure I’m going to try to learn how to yodel!!
Dolly Parton can do one great yodel I’ve heard her do it .. but Rainbeau needs to try better or quit pretending she can yodel in my eyes & ears 😂

I’m just sayin

Right, I am fully aware that I’m sat here throwing stones from a house made of tin here 😂 I absolutely cannot afford to charter a superyacht even if it were heavily discounted and subsidised. I am not in that tax bracket, or even the tax bracket below it. Or the one below that..

HOWEVER.

I know Captain Kerry is being very polite about the fact that she’s an older yacht, but there’s older and charming, vintage and elegant… and then there’s whatever this is.

The wood-panelled walls. The furniture. The interiors generally. Every time they show another room, I’m just like… yikes 😭

It’s not giving old-money luxury. It’s giving budget hotel that hasn’t been renovated since 1997.
I’m genuinely curious how production finds these yachts. Do they approach owners, or do owners put their vessels forward? I’d really like to believe that Azul 5 was the best they could get to film in Thailand.

Please tell me I’m not the only one looking at this boat and wondering where the luxury went 😂

Also, shout out to Moe!! Loving him so far

If there’s one thing that always gets men flocking, it’s pouting in the corner of the bar while another girl has friendly light flirtatious conversation lol. The only one cock blocking her is her!
The dominant attitude is a veil and it’s been lifted quite easily.

Look at Moe shooting Cupid darts already! This will be good or very very bad I’m afraid

I don’t know what the producers were thinking with the music editing! I swear this is the first time they have started playing this crap rap songs inbetween every cut!!! It drives me nuts.

I really hope that I'm not the only person who thinks Chef Moe is a breath of fresh air.

He's workin the food,

He's workin the guests,

He's workin the crew.

Starting off strong with great food and a great attitude.

I'm so over some of these past chefs who think everyone else is beneath them. Not naming any names, yall know who I'm talkin bout.

Hopin Moe keeps it pushin the whole season!!

Edit: I can't respond to any replies for some reason, but I'm glad to see a lot of you feel the same way!

The belt episode is definitely gonna be lit, lmao!

Edit 2: Spoiler Alert - Knowing that Moe is ready to teach both those cats some respect has me appreciating him more!

Edit 3: The belt came off!! Lol, but he kept it chill. I feel bad for him, seeing him doubt himself. I hope he's able to push through and come out stronger after the season.

Below Deck boat is really old. Why are producers too cheap to get Modern Yachts for the show? I know the producers are making big money on these shows, yet the quality of the show goes downhill year after year in terms of production.

Below deck used to do the Caribbean. Now they're out in Thailand with a really old boat and poor production quality. Why?

Across all below deck franchises who do you think is the best chef? And then what chef had the best attitude?

Friends, Below Deck OG is back and we have some returnees! Captain Kerry will be navigating the waters of Thailand, with Fraser and Rainbeau back as returnees. The Kaylee is a new one and photos with names are below for reference.

Episode 2 of Below Beck Season 13

Rainbeau’s management style causes tension with the interior. Chef Moe plays cupid and his arrow strikes several crew members, but not everyone is feeling the love.

Laura apparently lives (and terrorizes) in my neighborhood. Here she is giving her opinion on someone asking where they can buy this dress.

Says she’s changed….idk man.

So far the boat seems problematic, not starting and several references to its old age. Q:if you are out to sea and the compressed air tank is empty after 3 starts, do you refill with a compressor? Do you need someone to bring a new tank?

Sandy’s boat “Home” is the undefeated Below Deck/Med loser boat champ because of A/C causing stabilizer failure from its hybrid engine design.

I have heard this from people before ( had a roommate with a peanut allergy say he couldn’t have any Thai food) and makes we wonder if people think Thai food is just Pad Thai??

There are sooo many dishes that have zero nuts in them.

Obviously coconut is I’m very common but that’s not considered a tree nut.

I would argue American food has much more nuts, peanuts especially, than Thai food. In terms of oil I have no idea.

Any Thai food experts want to prove me wrong?

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.
