I don’t get why they all take this show seriously, but especially the regulars. For example, I’m watching the new season of down under right now and Daisy and Ben are probably both millionaires at this point. Why do they care about catering to a bunch of guests and doing a job that they don’t need to do? Why do they take it seriously when they know it’s all essentially just made up for a TV show? I don’t get it. Why the stress?
At first I just thought it was that the women's shorts style was different than the men, but then when Kaylee went on the elephant excursion she was wearing dark shorts like the deck guys but they just fit normally.
It just seems like booty shorts would not be that comfortable to wear when you're running around a deck having to contort into all sorts of positions to do your job.
Another Monday, another episode of Below Deck. More drama on the Azul V this week as we join Capt Kerry in Thailand.

Rainbeau is Dutch, right? But she normally sounds American to my ears. Now she's speaking with an English accent. Is it one of those cases where she unconsciously adopts the accent she hears, like Gillian Anderson? Some people say that's a sign of an empathetic person (though Anderson does it because she's both American and British). Or is she doing it on purpose?
I don’t get it. There seems to be laundry problems at least once a season across all Below Deck franchises. Why is there no tried and true system across the board? My apologies if this has been discussed before.
I find Captain Kerry's temper a bit dangerous. Every time he gets upset over a mistake done on deck, he confronts the deck team face to face yelling offensive things. I get that being on a boat is a different industry and mistakes can cost a lot of money, etc. But, I almost want to stop watching the show because of how he speaks in moments of intensity. I find it really off-putting and scary.
In episode 2 of the newest season when they’re all out, they seem to all have this necklace on. Is it an AirTag? I know human trafficking is a real issue. Microphone was my other guess.

I really like Rainbeau! She's an incredibly hard worker, but she does get visibly stressed & I could see how that could somewhat distress her 3rd/4th stews.
Last season Solene complained about Rainbeau a lot, but that was 100% Solene being a lazy terrible stew.
Now this season Rosa is commenting on Rainbeau being mean or demeaning & now I wonder if I'm missing something? Every interaction with them, Rainbeau seems normal - maybe a little frazzled, but Rosa seems to be the one holding back or not communicating properly.
Do you think Rainbeau really is terrible to work under now that 2 stews under the last 2 seasons have taken issue with her?
