below deck sailing yacht season 2 hookups

Below Deck's Kate Chastain Had A Spicy Description For All The Hook-Ups Happening Aboard Ship

Fan-favorite Kate Chastain might have put her own chief stew and Below Deck days behind her, after her official exit in 2020. But that doesn’t mean the notorious shade-thrower at sea doesn’t have some thoughts on the totally bonkers second season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht airing now . In fact, the former chief stew had some extra spicy descriptions of the hook-ups and cast members onboard this season.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 is most definitely making a bigger splash than the first . The cast and crew were quarantined together on the boat for most of the charters, due to COVID-19 safety regulations last year. Perhaps because of that or in spite of that, the crew seemed to be hooking up left and right. These were probably the messiest situations any Bravo fan has ever seen on the show, and Kate Chastain seems to agree. She told US Weekly :

It’s like they’re square dancing on that sail yacht. They’re just, you know, Dosey Doeing and switching partners every episode. I mean, it’s [a] great season.

Kate Chastain’s shady description of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 is spot on. First, it was Gary King and Sydney Zaruba in a first night hook-up in the master cabin. Then it was King and Alli Dore, with Zaruba obviously upset on the sidelines. In the teaser for next week’s episode though, it looks like King is considering getting it back on with Zaruba as some sort of retaliation against Dore for finding out about the initial hook-up and ending their own fling as a result.

It’s what Bravo fans love to see: a beautiful, magnificent mess -- one that I think most view as Gary King’s doing. Kate Chastain has seen a few unfortunate hook-ups (some of which were her own) during her six-season run on Below Deck . About King’s situation, Chastain said:

I think he needs to get his head out of his ass, or maybe he needs to get his head out of Alli [Dore]’s ass, I don’t know.

Another big piece of the square dancing on this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht is Dani Soares. She’s been hooking up with co-star Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux for the majority of the season, until the last episode, in which she threatened to quit and go home after finding out that JL might have chlamydia.

In case you were worried, no it wasn’t chlamydia, just a bit of chafing. But now fans are on pins and needles after Dani Soares’ announced on Instagram that she's pregnant. She isn’t revealing who the father is yet – but many can’t help but wonder if it is the chlamydia-turned-chafe hook-up that Soares met aboard the Parsifal II. Kate Chastain has some thoughts on that as well:

I don’t know that it would be a smart baby [if] he’s the daddy. Because who says that? I know for a fact I have never heard a human say those words out loud. No one says that. What you do is — I would imagine — let’s just say, for any health issue below your waistline, you know, maybe you just tell the doctor. Just don’t talk about what happens in your pants. I’m no HR expert, but that would be my advice.

Strangely, Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux’s name wasn’t brought up during Dani Soares’ interview with US Weekly earlier this month. Perhaps Soares found out about being pregnant while filming Below Deck Sailing Yacht and the news is embargoed per the crew’s contract. Who knows, but it adds an underlying tension to the final two episodes of the season. I know Kate Chastain and I will be watching.

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Star Colin MacRae Says His Hook-Up With Daisy Kelliher Was “Inevitable”

Where to stream:.

• Below Deck Sailing Yacht

‘Below Deck Med’s Chef Johnathan Shillingford Thinks Aesha Scott Handled Those Rude Charter Guests “Very Well”

‘below deck’s 8 worst guests of all-time: from jill zarin to delores the midnight swimmer, ‘below deck mediterranean’ exclusive clip: aesha scott stands up for herself against a rude charter guest, ‘below deck med’ exclusive clip: bri muller’s laundry room “burn book” causes more drama between her and elena dubiach.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans are going to see a lot of Colin MacRae this season—and that is perfectly okay. Back for his third season on the hit Bravo show, MacRae is forced to deal with a harrowing mechanical issue in the premiere episode before the first charter guests even step onboard. Everyone’s favorite Chief Engineer was shocked to discover that the engine was filled with salt water rather than clean oil and to learn that it will take two weeks to disassemble, clean and reassemble the engine before the Parsifal III is ready to hit the high seas. Fans will have to wait until next week to see if MacRae and the intrepid Captain Glenn Shephard can work their magic to make this charter season happen.

With 15 years of super yacht experience, MacRae has always been one of the coolest heads onboard the Parsifal III. However, this is the first voyage that the handsome sailor has been single, and, as evidenced by the explosive Season 4 trailer , MacRae takes full advantage. “I get into the thick of it a little bit,” said MacRae impishly. When asked about his kiss with Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher , MacRae says it was “inevitable.” “We just love each other’s company. It was just something that just happened very naturally,” mused MacRae. One person who isn’t thrilled about their sweet hook-up? MacRae’s friend First Officer Gary King who has engaged in a long flirtation with his OG cast mate Daisy over the course of four seasons. Fans will have to stay tuned to see how this dynamic will play out.

Decider spoke with MacRae over Zoom and got the scoop on the various malfunctions on the Parsifal III, his hook-up with Kelliher and why he keeps coming back season after season.

DECIDER: This is your third season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . What keeps bringing you back? COLIN MACRAE: Captain Glenn. At the end of every season, I tell him, “If you need an engineer, give me a call.” He does, and it’s just too hard to say no. We just get along so well. The trips are always a challenge but always fun.

The Parsifal III is in rough shape at the beginning of the charter season. Did you have any idea of scope of malfunctions when you step onboard?

Nah, absolutely not. Glenn and I keep in touch between seasons, and the boat had just finished a yard period in Spain. Everything was meant to be perfect ready to go, and that just wasn’t the case.

Have you dealt with mechanical issues as severe as those on the Parsifal III previously in your career?

I have. My yachting career has been based in pretty remote places like the Seychelles Islands or Indonesia, places where parts are hard to come by. I’ve been in situations where I just have to make it work. Getting parts flown in just takes too long, and we might have a charter starting or something like that. So, I’ve been in similar situations, but nothing to this extent. This was extreme.

In the premiere episode, you get to step in for Gary due to his positive COVID test . How long has it been since you flexed those First Officer muscles? I own my own catamaran, and I run with about eight crews, so I have been a leader for quite some time. That part I was comfortable with. However, I had no idea where Gary kept things on the boat. I don’t pay attention to that stuff. I’ve got my own department on Parsifal III to worry about. It was a challenge because I just had so much going on in that first week. It was insane.

While all of your challenges that we’ve seen so far—and it’s only the first episode—are exciting, fans are even more eager to see “single” Colin in action for the first time. How do you think they’ll react? I believe there’s a little bit of excitement around that fact [laughs]. The first two seasons I was able to sit back and just be nice and respectful to my partners at the time and stay out of trouble, but nothing holds me back this season. I get into the thick of it a little bit.

In the trailer, we see you and Daisy hooking up. Is there anything you can tease about that? We’ve always had chemistry. We just love each other’s company. It was just something that happened very naturally, something that neither of us were really expecting. However, at the same time, our getting together was probably inevitable if we were both single at the right place at the right time.

Someone who wasn’t happy about your hookup was Gary, whom we see accusing Daisy of “spitefully hooking up” with you to “get back” at him later in the trailer. What was your reaction to hearing this? That accusation was pretty shocking to hear . I had already asked for Gary’s blessing on my exploring a relationship with Daisy, and he gave me the impression that he was totally fine with it. Yeah. I had no idea that conversation was going on behind my back.

Did your kiss with Daisy change the dynamic between the three of you in any way? Not at the start. I thought it was all just fun and games and he was happy for me. He was actually super excited about it to my face. Unfortunately, it did end up putting a strain on our friendships. That’s almost bound to happen when you get romantic with your friends.

One of fans’ favorite aspects of the show is obviously yours and Gary’s friendship and the dynamic in the boys room. Did Chase fit into the dynamics of the giggle club? Chase had a tall order, let’s put it that way. We missed Chef Marcos onboard just because we had all gotten along so well. I’m happy to say though that the Giggle Club was alive and well.

You mentioned Chef Marcos from Season 3 who is currently thriving in his various restaurant endeavors. How does Chef IIeisha compare? IIeisha’s great; we’re great friends. She fit into the crew super well too. She’s a really fun, bubbly person, but Marcos has got a decade more experience than her. She had big shoes to fill.

Mads and Lucy seem like great additions to the interior team. What were your first impressions of them? Lucy’s amazing. She’s a bit of an airhead sometimes, so she had us in stitches a lot of the time. Mags was wonderful too. It was a good interior team this season. They got along really well, and a happy crew makes for a happy time on board.

You have a thriving YouTube channel centered around your own vessel, Parlay Revival. Where is your next adventure going to take you?

Right now, I’m in Mexico on my boat with eight crew, and we’re about to go from Mexico to French Polynesia. That’s 2,600 miles of just open blue water ocean. It’s the biggest adventure of my entire life, and we’re embarking next week. So I’ve got a lot on my plate right now.

How do you juggle commanding this vessel with the premiere of one of Bravo’s most popular shows?

It’s a lot. We just got Starlink on my boat, so I’ve got really good internet across the whole Pacific Ocean now. We’ve got the maritime version, so luckily or unluckily, I’ll be able to tune in and be part of the whole ordeal [laughs]. What can you tease about the rest of the season? People are going to see things that they’ve never seen before. The whole engineering side of the show doesn’t usually get attention, but this season it can’t help but be the focus because there were so many mechanical malfunctions. A couple of things that happened could have potentially ended the entire season. The upside —if I had to find one—is that the audience finally gets a view into my world as an engineer. I think it’s fascinating, but I’m biased [laughs].

The Untold Truth Of Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Daisy Kelliher

On March 1, Bravo viewers will be introduced to an all-new Below Deck: Sailing Yacht crew, and on that crew is Daisy Kelliher.

Ahead of what looks to be a dramatic premiere episode of Season two, Bravo released a short bio about Kelliher, which revealed that she is not only a passionate yachtie herself, but also comes from a long line of yachties in her family. As the bio explained, Kelliher's grandfather was an Olympic sailor for Ireland in the 1960s, and her parents, as well as several of her aunts and uncles, also worked on boats.

Although Kelliher certainly has a lot to live up to when it comes to her family's deep roots in the industry, that doesn't stop her from engaging in her fellow crew mates' drama, or from showing – through her drinking habits – that she is a "true Irish woman."

"Daisy can always be counted on to give you a piece of her mind and let her hair down to have a good time," the bio teased.

And that's not all.

Daisy Kelliher comes from a long line of yachties

As fans can likely tell from the Below Deck: Sailing Yacht   trailer , which includes returning crewmate Captain Glen Shephard, Daisy Kelliher hails from Dublin, Ireland. According to a report shared on March 1 by the Irish Examiner , she's 33-years-old and will act as Chief Stew in the new season, which will feature "beautiful Croatian scenery, steamy crew hookups, and a whole lot of boat drama."

As for her grandfather, the outlet shared further details about Eddie Kelliher, revealing that he was born in Tralee, Co Kerry, Ireland. Eddie's wife, Doreen Kelliher, was born on Valentia Island. 

Following a move from his hometown to Dublin, Eddie reportedly joined the Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire and ultimately went on to compete in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo Japan. During the games, the Irish Examiner confirmed, Eddie represented his home country in the Dragon class.

Daisy Kelliher claims there was 'a lot of sex' on Parsifal III

While teasing her fans and followers on Instagram Live (per Irish Examiner )about what is to come on the Parsifal III, Daisy Kelliher admitted that there "was definitely a lot of sex" during filming on the series' second season. "I don't know if it was [ COVID-19 ]. I don't know, she confessed. "So, like, people hadn't been around other people in a while or what was going on. But there was definitely something in the air. It was like, wow, this a lot. Even for yachties, it was a lot."

Kelliher also added, "There was a lot of partying, a lot of sex, a lot of drama, a lot of tears."

In the sneak peek at Below Deck: Sailing Yacht , a number of hookups are previewed, including a hookup between two women of the show and numerous encounters between other members of the cast.

Daisy Kelliher bonded well with most of the castmates

During her revealing Instagram Live, Daisy Kelliher said that when it came to her relationships with her castmates, she enjoyed her time in production and felt that their group worked well together, despite the many outrageous moments there were involved in. "To be honest, the whole crew was pretty strong," she said. "If you took a bit of the drama out, I thought we were a good team, just kind of crazy personalities."

While  filming , Kelliher seemingly butted heads with one of her castmates after catching them in a lie and also had a situation with Chef Natasha De Bourg, who made it clear she did not want any critiques, whether constructive or otherwise, from Kelliher. "I'm the f–king chef," De Bourg told Kelliher after she recommended she kept the portions small for their guests. "Don't give me no f–king constructive criticism."

Daisy Kelliher's dad encouraged her to get into yachting professionally

According to Daisy Kelliher, it wasn't her grandfather, but her dad, who encouraged her to pursue a career in yachting. 

"My dad encouraged me to join the industry because he thought I would really enjoy it," Kelliher told Distractify during a March 1 interview. "Dads are always right [and] we come from a strong sailing background." Kelliher also noted as a child, she spent a lot of her time on boats. "I grew up sailing on dinghy boats, and we went for holidays on small sailboats," she recalled.

Although Kelliher isn't working on a boat as of March 2021, after wrapping production on Below Deck months ago, she is currently near the water as she continues to spend time on the island of Antigua while "trying to figure out life" before returning to her previous home in Europe later this year.

Daisy Kelliher compares herself to Below Deck star Hannah Ferrier

When asked which former Below Deck star she's most similar to, Daisy Kelliher said her style is closest to that of Hannah Ferrier, who has appeared on all five seasons of Below Deck: Mediterranean . Still, when it comes to her persona, she believes she brings something to the show that viewers haven't seen on any previous seasons. "I think I'm quite different from the other past chief stews," she told Distractify . "I'm possibly like Hannah, just because I'm running around, and I don't know what's going on sometimes."

Also during her interview with the outlet, Kelliher said the "environment [was] intense" on the Parsifal III before describing herself as someone who is a bit hands-off and "relaxed," which can lead some to believe that she shouldn't be taken too seriously and "lack[s] authority." 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2 premieres March 1, Monday, March 1 at 9/8c on Bravo.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 Cast: Where Are They Now?

Here's what happened to Daisy, Colin, Captain Glenn and the rest of the Parsifal crew.

Considering the series filmed in August 2020, viewers are curious about the whereabouts of our Sailing Yacht favorites...and, more importantly, how the cast and crew managed to film for several weeks amid lockdown. As it turns out, the location of this season was chosen intentionally. At that time, Croatia remained one of few countries in the EU to accept American tourists. In a Reddit AMA , a producer for the show also explained that maintaining safety protocols (which likely included regular Covid testing) was key in filming this season.

Here's what happened to your favorite crew members from Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2:

Colin Macrae

Colin Macrae might serve as the Chief Engineer aboard the Parsifal III, however, when it comes to the inner workings of his relationship, things aren’t as black and white. Despite gushing over his relationship with Martina Alvarez last summer, Macrae revealed that he and Martina have officially parted ways. “Unfortunately my relationship with Martina came to an end a couple of months ago,” Colin captioned his most recent YouTube video . Although his romance is no more, Colin remains optimistic for what’s to come as he embarks on a “fresh start” in none other than Panama. Colin has also continued his efforts in creating content online documenting his many adventures in Linton Bay, Panama , where he’s resided over the course of the last few months.

Glenn Shephard

Captain Glenn Shephard is back and better than ever! The sailboat captain may only have 2 seasons of Below Deck under his belt, but his 20 years of experience certainly make him a notable addition to the Bravo family. Since his summer in Croatia last year, Gl enn has since moved to Spain , which Shephard has deemed his new “happy place.” While becoming a Bravo-lebrity can go to one’s head, Glenn has remained modest when it comes to his newfound fame. The star now offers Zoom sessions with fans of the show, where he dishes on behind-the-scenes details all while sipping cocktails on the Spanish coast.

First Officer Gary King walked away from his very first season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht feeling nothing but grateful. “Reminiscing about the last 6 weeks that have just flown by. I learned lessons that I’ll carry for life,” Gary wrote on Instagram . While fans have been rooting for him and fellow stewardess, Alli Dore to set sails on a possible romance, it appears as King has been flying solo since the series ended. After traveling about to a number of stunning locations, including Mallorca, Spain, Gary returned home to South Africa just in time for Christmas. The Bravo star has since remained in his home country, occupying himself with a series of visits to the golf range and a new passion for landscape photography and cooking.

Natasha De Bourg

The Michelin-star chef has been tuning in this season from her home in the Bahamas, and, well, she hasn't taken to it favorably. The star has posted a series of pics on her Instagram detailing her frustrations with herself on the show, claiming that she is “human and humans are imperfect.” Luckily for Natasha, her friendship with both Dani and Alli has blossomed immensely since wrapping up, and the two have been a huge support for Natasha as she cruises through these waves of criticism.

Daisy Kelliher

Being the Chief Stewardess on any yacht is no easy feat, and Daisy Kelliher is certainly feeling the burn. Following her time at sea in Croatia, Daisy, unfortunately, broke her wrist and found herself back home with mom and dad in Ireland . During lockdown, Daisy accepted a job in Antigua two months later, however, due to the current situation, her efforts at finding adventure fell flat. “I had completely lost myself,” Daisy captioned her photo on Instagram , revealing she began pushing friends away and entered a dark space. Luckily for the Below Deck star, she feels like herself again and is set to start a new job. During a live chat, Daisy revealed to co-star, Sydney Zaruba that she is most likely headed back to Europe, although she’s left much of what she’ll be doing a mystery.

Dani Soares

Dani Soares soared to being a fan favorite this current season and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. Soares, who reigns all the way from Brazil, has gone on to make quite a name for herself since her summer in Croatia. The star currently resides in Sydney, Australia where she is expecting her very first child. Dani revealed the news on social media back in April, however, both her due date and daddy status remain unknown. Although fans have inquired who the father is, Soares made it clear that it isn’t “anybody’s business.” As she embarks on her journey towards motherhood, Dani is currently working as a beauty therapist in the land down under all while taking in her recent rise to fame.

Alli Dore is the third stewardess to join the hit Bravo series, and boy are we glad she did. After wrapping up her summer in Croatia, Alli returned home to Australia, where she was born and raised. Her love for boating didn’t stop when the summer did, as she went on to spend her time in the Whitsundays Islands. As for Alli’s personal life, the star made an appearance on the Unpopular podcast where she revealed that she is pansexual. [I am] “attracted to people’s aura,” she revealed. Alli has gone on to start her very own IGTV series called Pita Party , which she stars in alongside Sailing Yacht co-stars, Daisy and Dani.

Sydney Zaruba

Sydney Zaruba found herself in quite the love triangle last summer in Croatia, but today, she is all about keeping her inner circle small. Sydney, who was born and raised in Florida, moved on over to the stunning island of Mallorca, Spain where she currently works on a 42-meter sailing yacht! This is nothing new for Sydney; considering her experience on Below Deck and, of course, her long history of sailing with her family. In addition to being at sea, Sydney decided to become a travel agent with Explorateur Travel. While the cast of Sailing Yacht has gone their separate ways since the summer ended, Sydney still managed to bump into none other than Captain Glenn on the streets of Palma.

Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux

Jean-Luc may be the youngest Below Deck crew member but he certainly makes up for it in height? Following his summer working on the Parsifal III, Jean-Luc traveled to Mallorca, Spain, an idea many of his co-stars had as well. Shortly after, the 25-year-old made his way on over to Costa Rica , which he’s called home for the last several months. Despite the remarkable views, Jean-Luc is entering some rocky waters as a plethora of rumors have surfaced questioning his role in Dani Soares’ pregnancy. Not only have fans been flooding his social media with questions concerning whether he’s the father or not, but fellow charter guest, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow also went on to add fuel to the fire. In an Instagram video posted back in April, Barrie claimed that Jean-Luc “was too busy getting the other one [Dani] pregnant … He’s gonna be a daddy,” he said. While Dani laughed off the comment, Jean-Luc has yet to address the rumors.

Which ‘Below Deck’ Couples Are Still Together After Finding Romance During Charter Season?

When working side by side with someone 24 hours a day for six to eight weeks straight in cramped conditions, it’s easy to catch feelings ! That’s what’s happened to a number of crew members on the Below Deck franchise, who have fallen for each other while working during charter season. So, which boatmances have stood the test of time, as well as distance?

Whether it’s Below Deck , Below Deck Mediterranean , Below Deck Sailing Yacht or Below Deck Down Under , getting a group of young people from across the globe together who love to work hard and party harder is a recipe for hookup action. And while there have been plenty of frisky physical escapades between crew mates, some have turned into actual couples .

The most recent duo to reveal they were dating after leaving the show was Ben Willoughby and Sunny Marquis , much to the shock of fans.

Deal of the Day

Ben Willoughby and Sunny Marquis

Bosun Ben ended up in another boatmance in Below Deck season 11. However, he made it clear to lead deckhand Sunny that they were basically a hookup and nothing more. At one point, he even called ex-girlfriend Camille Lamb from season 10 to ask if she wanted to hang out when he returned to Florida after the charter season. When she shot him down, Ben continued to have a passionate physical romance with Sunny, who had fallen hard for her boss, but didn’t want to get emotionally involved. The pair left the St. David together with the intention of seeing where things might go, although viewers were fairly convinced after Ben’s behavior all season that they were just a showmance.

Fans were floored when the day after the season finale aired on May 27, 2024, Ben took to Instagram to reveal the pair were dating and very much together.

“Yes, you guessed it, we are still together! Finally we can let go of the secrecy that has been held for the past 15 months,” he wrote in the caption of a series of photos showing the pair.

“We want to thank you all for the support throughout season 11 @belowdeckbravo. It’s been a rollercoaster to relive the season and the beginning of a relationship. We ended up traveling the globe together last year and Sunny made her way to Australia for Christmas. Anyways, hoping you all enjoyed the season,” Ben added.

Culver Bradbury and Jaimee Neale

The deckhand fell hard for stew Jaimee when she came aboard the Northern Star halfway through  Below Deck Down Under  season 2. Soon they were flirting and making out, and Culver decided he wanted to take things to the next level. He asked Jamie to be his girlfriend via a handwritten card where he professed her feelings for her and had her check off a “yes” or “no” box. Feeling pressured, Jamiee checked “yes” although she thought they were moving too fast after knowing each other for only a few weeks. That night, the pair got their own guest room aboard the boat to be intimate for the first time.

Their romance had the potential of continuing through another charter season, as one of Culver’s former captains inquired about hiring him for the summer Mediterranean season and needed a stew as well, to which the Maryland native recommended his girlfriend. While Jamiee wasn’t sure if she wanted their boatmance to continue aboard another vessel, she agreed, in part because she’d always wanted to work and play in the Med and was willing to have another adventure with Culver.

Jaimee became deeply attracted to handsome new lead deckhand  Luka Brunton  when he arrived to work on the final charters of the season, regretting getting together with Culver so quickly. The pair drunkenly kissed in a bar after the charter season ended, which Jaimee confessed to Culver, claiming she didn’t remember it. The duo left the boat as a couple although their Med offer fell through. Chief stew Aesha Scott revealed during  Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen  following the September 18, 2023, finale that the pair took a month-long road trip along Australia’s Western Coastline but that the couple did not mesh well off the boat and called it quits.

João Franco and Tzarina Mace-Ralph

Chef Tzarina was shocked when João came aboard as the Northern Star’s second officer after bosun Luke Jones was fired during Below Deck Down Under season 2. The pair had known each other for several years, as he hooked up with one of her close friends while she had a fling with one of his pals. “Cheffy” as she was known on the boat didn’t think highly of him after how he treated her friend, but João proved he was a changed man as the two grew close, as he showed off his caring and tender side. While the Zimbabwe native wanted to pursue a boatmance, Tzarina fought back her feelings as to not upset her friend until the September 4, 2023 episode of the show where they finally made out and hooked up.

The pair are no longer together, as João celebrated his one-year dating anniversary on June 12, 2023 with fellow yachtie Domi Tiesi , as they work on the same boat. Domi shared a gushing Instagram post about their life together.

“One year …  I fell for you so quick and so strong, there was no turning back even after the first week and I feel the same way now. I never thought a year can pass by so quickly. If you love every moment of it, it just flies by… we have traveled to over 20 countries, lived in 2 and are now exploring the seas together working side by side. I love you and our adventures and can’t wait for all the years to come,” she wrote.

Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae

Season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht found chief engineer Colin without a girlfriend back home for the first time in three seasons. He and chief stew Daisy found themselves drawn into a full-on boatmance.

“I knew Colin was single and there’s kind of always been something between me and Colin. So, in a way I was surprised, but I also wasn’t surprised, if that makes sense,” she told In Touch exclusively ahead of the season premiere.

“There were little moments that we’d like maybe brush hands or look at each other that I don’t think anyone else really picked up on. But I would kind of be like, oh a moment that lasted a little bit longer and it’s like, ‘is this something?’” she explained, adding, “But he always had a girlfriend, so I always just friend zoned in the whole situation and never kind of expected anything more.”

The pair went from making out to sleeping in each other’s bunks in no time flat. But their bliss hit a major roadbump when Daisy revealed that she and first mate Gary King slept together twice after season 3 ended.

“You f–ked Gary?” Colin asked her incredulously, telling her it was “bulls–t” that they secretly hooked up and neither Daisy nor Gary told him before the pair embarked on a relationship.

“The chemistry that they have, the way that they look at each other, I thought it was all friends. It all makes sense now,” an angry Colin said in a confessional.

Gary, who was hooking up with junior stew Mads Herrera during the season, assuring Colin there was nothing going on between him and Daisy, despite the two having playful hugs and kisses. After much consideration, Colin agreed to continue his boatmance with the Dublin native after she assured him there was nothing going on with her longtime crew mate. But things came to a head in the June 19, 2023, episode when she accidentally called Colin “Gary” while the pair were in bed.

He stormed out of the bunk and Daisy later explained to Gary of the love triangle, “There’s two of you in my head. You’re both f–king with my head. I want you out of my head.”

“In regard to worrying about their friendship, I did worry. I definitely didn’t want to break up a friendship or anything like that. That’s the last thing I would’ve wanted. I was kind of expecting Gary to maybe kick off a bit, but not quite to the extent he did,” Daisy explained in her exclusive interview.

Gary King and Daisy Kelliher

While on season 3 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Gary hooked up with several different shipmates, including a hot tub makeout session with chief stew Daisy. Despite his several trysts, Gary said he was in love with Daisy. However, despite a moment during the June 2022 reunion episode where they shared an embrace, Daisy set the record straight that they were just friends. She told E! News in February, “Our relationship is very platonic. We care about each other and like I said we’re both affectionate people, so affection can sometimes lead to kissing. But no, we’re just friends.”

During season 4, it was revealed that the two did more than just make out. “Having sex with you was f–king amazing,” Gary confessed after Daisy and chief engineer Colin had embarked on a boatmance, made all the more complicated by the fact that he was Gary’s best friend.

Daisy eventually revealed to Colin that she and Gary hooked up in Menorca, Spain, after season 3 wrapped, and again in California after a trip to Disneyland. It made Colin re-evaluate his romance with Daisy, especially since she and Gary still had a deeply flirtatious relationship. Things were made even worse when Daisy called Colin by Gary’s name while the pair were in bed together.

Gary told In Touch exclusively  ahead of the season that he was shocked by Daisy and his close pal’s romance. “Maybe Colin’s just a better person than I am. Maybe Daisy sees something more in him that she sees in me,” he explained, noting he wasn’t bitter about it.

“The only thing I can do is be supportive. They’re both good friends of mine, but it did come as a massive shock to me,” the South Africa native added.

Ben Willoughby and Camille Lamb

The  Below Deck  season 10 deckhand and the controversial deck/stewardess immediately clicked romantically, making out on the group’s first dinner out and later took their passion to the St. David’s hot tub. By the time the fourth charter rolled around, Ben and Camille had sex in his bunk after a boozy off-duty evening, much to the horror of his roommate, Tony Duarte , who was awake in the bunk below them. Earlier in the evening, Ben confessed that he hadn’t had a relationship in more than two and a half years and was really enjoying being with Camille.

At the time of their hookup, Camille was on the verge of getting fired by Captain Sandy Yawn for her poor attitude and lack of interest in any of her work duties, and ended up getting the boot as Ben was falling hard for her.

The pair kept in touch and made plans to take a vacation together to the Dominican Republic once charter season had ended. The March 20, 2023, season finale saw Ben looking forward to meeting up with Camille again after being tempted by replacement stew Leigh-Ann Smith. He let fans know what happened with their romance once the cameras stopped rolling.

“Dominican Republic was something we both needed to say the least, we genuinely had a spark comparable to that of a primary school crush,” Ben wrote in a March 21  Instagram  post showing video from their getaway. “Sadly, soon after we decided that this wasn’t meant to be and being honest that was a very tough pill to swallow. We are not together anymore in a perfect world it would have been something of a fairytale,” he added. However, Ben cherished the romance they had.

“We both organically fell in love with one another and had many, many memories to share throughout this whole @belowdeckbravo journey,” he continued. “My advice to anyone out there is to follow your heart in any direction is may lead even if you know it may hurt, because that makes you….. you…. At the end of the day! Always with love Ben & Camille.”

Ben Willoughby and Leigh-Ann Smith

After Alissa Humber’s firing, Leigh-Ann joined the St. David interior crew only to find her year-long sexting pal Ben was a crew member aboard the ship. It was the first time the two met in person after months of flirting and sending naked photos to each other. Their chemistry proved to be even more intense in person than online, and Leigh-Ann was determined to make something happen, even though Ben was still in contact with Camille.

The Australia native had a post-charter season trip to the Dominican Republic planned with Camille, but he eventually realized that their romance wouldn’t last long afterwards.

“Part of me’s just like, ‘Live in the moment.’ I haven’t got a title with Camille. Why don’t you just see what happens?” Ben said in a teaser for the March 20 episode. He’s also seen passionately making out with Leigh-Ann and they later head into a guest cabin together and close the door, indicating they hooked up before the season ended.

But it wasn’t meant to be. Despite some kissing and snuggling on their final night together before leaving the St. David for good , Ben admitted he was too crazy about Camille to sleep with Leigh-Ann, much to her disappointment. They went their separate ways and friends and vowed to stay in touch.

The pair still appear to be friendly, as Leigh-Ann shared a photo from a beach outing during the second to last charter with her arm around Ben in a March 6, 2023, Instagram post. “Could you even get a better beach set up crew?” she asked in the caption while tagging Ben and Katie.

Ross McHarg and Katie Glaser

The  Below Deck season 10 bosun and his deckhand had chemistry from the start, kissing after an early beach outing. But Ross’ wandering eye caused him to have an ongoing flirtation with stew Alissa Humber , especially after drinking too much during crew dinners and partying aboard the yacht post-charter.

Ross and Katie eventually had sex in a guest cabin, and he decided to cut off the love triangle with Alissa. “I’ve made an active decision with Katie that her and I are going to be just her and I,” he explained in the February 13, 2023, episode. While the pair enjoyed a fun boatmance, it didn’t continue once the season ended.

Before the final charter of the season, Ross decided their attempt at a relationship wasn’t working, as they had given it “three to four” tries and the pair kept ending up in fights where Katie felt he disrespected her. The two decided to enjoy the short time they had left aboard the St. David before parting ways.

“We both live on opposite sides of the world — he went his way after the show and I went mine,” Floridian Katie told  E! News  of the Asia-based Englishman “At the end of the day we decided that it was what it was on the boat and after the boat we both went our separate ways,” she continued, while adding, “I am single. I’m just enjoying life right now.”

Ross admitted earlier in the season that his longest romance was with  Below Deck  season 8 stew  Elizabeth Frankini . “We were together on and off for four years. I guess we just broke each other’s hearts on multiple occasions in that relationship, which is why I don’t want a relationship at the moment,” he said in a confessional before deciding to commit to Katie.

Storm Smith and Natalya Scudder

Calling her his “kryptonite”, the provisional bosun had a thing for the brunette Australian stewardess on season 7. The two exchanged cheeky banter on their nights out and things only started heating up when the pair spent their evenings sleeping in the same cabin.

“I’ve never had good experiences with boyfriends,” she confessed during a solo confessional with producers in August 2022. “So, I have got trust issues, but with Storm, we’re a little bit romantic.” 

While the two shared a steamy romance during the charter season, Storm has seemingly gone Instagram official with a new girlfriend following filming. 

“Happy birthday boks,” he shared in a birthday tribute to his new girlfriend in July 2022, alongside loved-up pictures of them on vacation in Lake Como, Italy. “Life is beautiful with ya Chloe.”

Natasha Webb and Dave White

The chief stewardess and chef of Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 find themselves in a sticky situation after they become romantically involved on board. The pair previously worked on a boat together and told the fellow crew they were just “friends” despite sharing clear chemistry.

“On our last boat, me and Tash, we got together,” the chef explained to producers in a July 2022 episode. “Tash asked me to keep it a secret because she was still with her boyfriend, but I’m struggling to keep it a secret.”

However, after a drunk night, Dave decides he can’t keep up with the lie and tells the crew of their past. Not happy with Natasha’s reaction, he sends her heated text messages that almost get him fired. 

Following a meeting with Captain Sandy, the two continued to awkwardly cohabitate in their work environment. 

In August 2022, Natasha revealed she was in a new relationship when she thanked him for his support following her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen .

“Over half a million of you live viewers watching Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Bravo last Monday, thank you so much to each and everyone one of you for watching us & all your support & beautiful kind messages,” she shared alongside a carousel of photos of her trip to New York for filming. “I want to thank all my family & friends truly for your support throughout this whole journey … to my absolutely amazing supportive boyfriend, Max, big sister & gorgeous Mama & Dad, I wouldn’t be who I am today without you all.”

Malia White and Jake Baker

Though the hunky engineer was only seen onscreen briefly during Below Deck Med season 6, he and bosun Malia clicked. Once filming ended, the pair embarked on a romance that Malia revealed during a September 27, 2021, appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen . She shared that Jake made the first move and that they didn’t become an item until after filming for the season had ended. The couple is still going strong, seen above in an Instagram photo she posted from the Florida Keys on February 13, 2022.

However, by October, it seems things have gotten shaky between Jake and Malia. The Florida native seemingly scrubbed her Instagram of photos of her partner and shared cryptic quotes via her Instagram Story hinting at a possible split. 

“Remember the time you confused a life lesson for a soulmate?” one message read, while she added “100%” as a caption. In another slide, she uploaded a photo of her travels, captioning the picture, “Ready for my next chapter.”

Malia confirmed in December 2022 that she and Jake had broken up. The yachtie became the subject of rumors that she was involved with Below Deck Med season six chief stew Katie Flood , as the pair shared numerous photos with each other on their respective Instagram accounts.

Katie addressed the situation in a May 2023, Instagram Q&A when a fan asked if the ladies were dating.

“No. We are best friends that work and live together and have a lot of other amazing opportunities that we get to do together. We are so [lucky] to have each other and get to work towards our goals, dreams and our futures side by side of each other. She’s my work wifey for life,” Katie wrote.

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan

The first Below Deck crew mate engagement … that is no more!  Paget and Ciara had worked together on yachts for three out of their five years as a couple, but fans got to know the pair on season 1 of  Below Deck Sailing Yacht . First mate Paget proposed to deckhand Ciara on July 9, 2020, with the couple each sharing celebratory photos to their respective Instagram accounts.

There wasn’t a happily ever after though, as Ciara revealed to Us Weekly in April 2021 that the pair had split the prior December, explaining, “I loved him, but I think I was not in love.”

She added that not being in close quarters on a boat with Paget made her see their relationship differently. “There were a lot of reasons that it kind of broke down. Being in France, we weren’t quarantining, we weren’t stuck together or anything like that,” she told the publication. “We were there just kind of living life, but you know, I was taking temporary jobs and I just kind of realized throughout taking those jobs that I was happier on my own for a lot of reasons.”

As for Paget, following his relationship with Ciara, the England native moved on into a new relationship with his girlfriend, Johana Mills. The pair announced their engagement on August 21, 2022. 

“I was very lucky myself to meet a ‘Harbor town girl’ last year who showed me the sights and sounds of Newport when I first arrived on a boat,” he wrote alongside a series of loved-up clips of their adventures traveling the world. “There is no one I’d rather laugh, life with, cry, dance, and attempt all sorts of accents with than you Johana, I am so proud of you and all that you are achieving, and I am super stoked to be your fiancé and future husband.”

Dani Soares and Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux

The pair’s onboard passion was adorable, as Dani mended her broken heart with eight-years younger JL, who admittedly had never been in a real relationship with a woman. Once the charter season ended, Dani found out she was pregnant, which she revealed to fans via Instagram in April 2021 while their season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht was still airing on Bravo!

JL didn’t want to commit to fatherhood until a paternity test was done, which apparently took quite a while to do internationally. He didn’t admit to being the father of Dani’s daughter Lilly Rose until a January 19, 2022, Instagram post. JL pledged that even though he would be away for extended periods at sea while Dani was in Sydney, Australia, raising Lilly, he would do his best to be there “for the sake of our daughter as she needs both parents in her life.”

Malia White and Tom Checketts

It was Malia’s boyfriend to the rescue during season 5 of  Below Deck Med  when Captain Sandy Yawn fired her existing chef mid-season. Chef Tom came aboard the Lady Michelle to finish out the charters, with Malia frequently stepping into the gallery to help the easily frazzled cook. His quick temper turned off many other crew members, driving one to tears. The pair remained a couple after the season ended but went to work on separate boats. Tom allegedly cheated on Malia with one of his new shipmates, causing the bosun to break things off.

Aesha Scott and Jack Stirrup

One of the sweetest boatmances occurred on Below Deck Med season 4 between second stew Aesha and deckhand Jack. Their flirtation turned into a a full-on romance, with Jack enlisting fellow crew mates to help him pull off a grand gesture in asking Aesha to officially be his girlfriend. She happily accepted, and it seemed as if the two lovebirds would sail off into the sunset to a happy post-season life together.

But once the charter was over, Jack ghosted Aesha. He revealed during the Bravo After Show on October 1, 2019, that when he got home to England, “I thought it was a bit of a forced situation. It wasn’t reality. I thought about it all and called it a day.” Aesha explained on the same show that Jack had asked her to come to London but that he needed to work out dates because he had a wedding to attend. She then saw on his social media that he brought another woman to the event who turned out to be his girlfriend … a girlfriend he had while he was still on the yacht romancing Aesha! After she busted Jack on it, “Next thing I know, I’m blocked off everything and he’s never spoken to me again,” the Kiwi beauty shared.

Rob Westergaard and Jessica More

These two incredibly attractive yachties from season 5 of Below Deck Med ended up in a toxic relationship. Rob quickly told Jess he was in love with her, then began to pull back his affection. The back and forth of passion and coldness wore on the stewardess, leaving her in tears for much of the season. Despite their fights, the pair took a trip to Bali after charter season ended, where it was clear their romance had run its course.

“It didn’t end on the best note, and we’re still not in the best place,” Jess explained during the Bravo After Show  in October 2020. “It just keeps seeming to build, my disappointment for somebody that I really, truly cared about and loved and thought that I was gonna marry and spend the rest of my life with. So, to go from that to just continually finding out things new every single day is something that’s really hard for me and disappointing.”

Elizabeth Frankini and James Hough

The pair’s chemistry was immediate from the start, and their romance led to an infamous night of passion in one of the guest cabins during season 8 of Below Deck . Usage of the room required permission from superiors, with both getting stern warnings from their bosses. But as the season progressed, second stew Elizabeth’s feelings for deckhand James grew stronger, while his seemed to wane. At one point, she only semi-joked that he should propose to her and they should get married.

James continued to pull away, not even give her any sweet acknowledgement when she celebrated her 30th birthday aboard My Seanna. He caught a break when Elizabeth was fired for too many mistakes on the job and had to leave the yacht. However, the following day, the COVID-19 outbreak caused the final two charters of the season to cancel their trips, ending the season for all the crew who scrambled to get back to their home countries from Antigua before lockdowns began.

Ashton Pienaar and Laura Betancourt

The deckhand turned season 7 bosun and the stew had a boatmance during season 6 of Below Deck .  The couple even left My Seanna by walking off  the vessel hand in hand into what could have been a potential land romance. But Laura revealed during the show’s reunion that the two had become “dear friends.”

“I’d love to say I was involved with somebody, but I think my wife is still out there somewhere trying to find me,” Ashton told Bravo before the taping, adding, “She’s just taking her time.” He finally found her in Sarah McAlpine, an interior designer from North Carolina, as he announced their engagement on September 27, 2022.

Ben Robinson and Emily Warburton-Adams

Chef Ben had previous flirtations and one hookup on prior seasons of  Below Deck  before falling for stew and fellow Brit Emily on season 4. They had an actual romance, complete with going on dates while in port. “I felt very close to him very quickly. He was British and he made me laugh, and I do like an older guy,” Emily later revealed on  Life After Bravo  in May 2020. She added, “It was a real relationship for me. It just happened to have been aired on TV.”

After filming ended, Emily moved in with Ben at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home. The pair lived together for more than a year, as Emily left yachting and helped Ben at his various cooking events in the U.S. But Emily’s love of her native London eventually caused the pair to break up. “We just grew apart a bit. I was traveling back here. There’s not a lot for him to come back here for. So, we just grew apart,” she said of their split, adding, “We’re still very close now. He’s been a huge crutch and support through everything. I’ll always love him.” Ben is officially off the market as of May 2023, when he announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend  Kiara Cabral . Next to an  Instagram post  of the couple, he wrote, “After a wonderful four-year relationship with my love Kiara I decided to take the next step and propose. ” “I feel like the luckiest man alive! Thank you to my friends and family for all of your support. I couldn’t have done it without you, and obviously thank you to Kiara for saying yes and making an honest man out of me, I love you,” Ben added.

Jenna MacGillivray and Adam Glick

The chief stew and chef on season 1 of  Below Deck Sailing Yacht  had a passionate romance that cooled for Adam, despite Jenna’s attempt to keep the spark alive by leaving him love notes. By the end of the season, she still held out hope that they would continue their romance after finishing up work on Parsifal III, but Adam thought otherwise. While discussing their post season plans, the cook told her, “I’m gonna get the f—k off this boat, hop in my van, and drive away,” as Jenna began to cry about his view of the future without her in it.

In a May 5, 2020, Instagram post, Jenna seemed to unpack her heartbreak from Adam by writing, “No matter how many times I fall, I get up and get the desire to love again. At times I have absolutely put love and that fairytale above anything else, including myself. I have lost my way, lost what I needed. But I believe we all want and need to be loved, and we need a healthy love that gives equally from both sides.”

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 2: Release date, trailer, cast and all you need to know about Bravo reality show

Figuratively, yachting is anything but a smooth sail. Meeting the over-the-top demands of guests and with new Covid-19 protocols in place, it's tough to keep calm. In addition to this, there's an all-new crew in place, which could either help set-up a breezy workplace dynamics or turn out to be a nightmare for Captain Glenn Shephard, who by the way, loses his cool over a freak crash. Read on to find out more about the show. 

Release date

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 2 premieres on Bravo on Monday, March 1, 2021, at 9/8c. For more information, check your local listings. 

This season, the crew is boarding Parsifal III and cruising the Croatian coasts. The plot is simple — demanding guests and overworked crew, and how these two groups of people manage to play it cool while the Captain ensures a good ride across the seas. But there's a twist.

Usually, once done with a charter, the team goes out for dinner. At times, they plan day outs as well. But this year, all that has come to a screeching halt. The yachties must spend their off-time partying on the boat. The rule was put in place to make sure the cast members are shielded from the coronavirus.  

Glenn will tour the coasts of the European country alongside Natasha De Bourg as his chef, chief stew Daisy Kelliher, chief engineer Colin Macrae, first mate Gary King, second stew Dani Soares, third stew Alli Dore, deckhand Sydney Zaruba, and deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux.

It doesn't get better than this. The crew is serving more drama than the picky, demanding guests. They are in a mood party and obviously, there's alcohol and hookups involved. From the first-look clip, it seems like there's one messy love triangle, with a lesbian couple no less, that is going to get wild.  

Showrunners

The Bravo reality show is produced by 51 Minds, and serving as executive producers are Mark Cronin, Courtland Cox, Jill Goslicky, Christian Sarabia and Temple Williams.

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 2 Reunion Revelations: Dani’s Pregnancy, Gary’s Love Triangle and More

Just the beginning! The Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast virtually came together to break down everything that happened during the show’s second season — and nothing was off-limits.

During part one of the reunion on Monday, June 21, Glenn Shephard , Colin Macrae , Gary King , Natasha De Bourg , Daisy Kelliher , Dani Soares , Alli Dore and Sydney Zaruba returned to reflect on their highs and lows.

Deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux , who had some big questions to answer about his relationship with Dani since the season wrapped , was noticeably absent. However, host Andy Cohen confirmed that Jean-Luc did a separate interview for the reunion where he addressed the speculation that he’s the father of Dani’s baby .

“If that is my child, I want everything and anything to do with that child’s life,” Jean-Luc said in a preview for part two of the reunion, set to air on June 22.

Prior to the reunion, Jean-Luc took to social media to finally respond to fan’s theories about his relationship with Dani, who welcomed her first child in May.

“There’s a lot of gossip about my social media silence so I think it’s time to clear the air. While others are off chasing their 15 minutes of fame, I am working on a yacht in Central America,” he wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 18. “[I’m] heartbroken to have to hear about the baby’s birth on social media and read headlines, like, ‘Dani Soares Says Her Baby’s Father Doesn’t Want Anything to Do With It.’ All I can say is if it’s mine, I want to be involved 100 [percent].”

Jean-Luc continued: “As someone who grew up with parents who weren’t together, I wouldn’t wish that on any child. Not looking for a pity party. Just want everyone to know how strongly I feel about this, especially the haters who are so sure I am neglecting my responsibility. No one wants to know more than me if this is my baby girl!”

Many members of the Below Deck universe quickly responded to the post and called out Jean-Luc for not doing the right thing, including costar Sydney, who asked, “What is wrong with you?!”

“Don’t play the innocent victim here JL. Man the fuk [sic] up,” Colin added in the comments.

Season 2 chef Natasha added: “I’m sorry JL but sounds like a pity party to me. Why didn’t you reach out 9 months ago ??? No woman deserves to be treated the way you treated Danny [sic]”

While Jean-Luc didn’t appear on part one of the reunion, he was still a large topic of conversation between the crew.

“I think we blame everything on J.L. He’s not here, it makes sense, right? Anything that went wrong this season,” Glenn joked as the rest of the cast members laughed.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 2 Reunion Revelations: Dani's Pregnancy, Gary's Love Triangle and More

Just the beginning! The Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast virtually came together to break down everything that happened during the show's second season — and nothing was off-limits. During part one of the reunion on Monday, June 21, Glenn Shephard , Colin Macrae , Gary King , Natasha De Bourg , Daisy Kelliher , Dani Soares , Alli Dore and Sydney Zaruba returned to reflect on their highs and lows. Deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux , who had some big questions to answer about his relationship with Dani since the season wrapped , was noticeably absent. However, host Andy Cohen confirmed that Jean-Luc did a separate interview for the reunion where he addressed the speculation that he's the father of Dani's baby . "If that is my child, I want everything and anything to do with that child's life," Jean-Luc said in a preview for part two of the reunion, set to air on June 22. Prior to the reunion, Jean-Luc took to social media to finally respond to fan's theories about his relationship with Dani, who welcomed her first child in May. [sendtonews type="float" key="jHLzPxFGoc-2840478-14453"] “There’s a lot of gossip about my social media silence so I think it’s time to clear the air. While others are off chasing their 15 minutes of fame, I am working on a yacht in Central America,” he wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 18. “[I’m] heartbroken to have to hear about the baby’s birth on social media and read headlines, like, ‘Dani Soares Says Her Baby’s Father Doesn’t Want Anything to Do With It.’ All I can say is if it’s mine, I want to be involved 100 [percent].” Jean-Luc continued: “As someone who grew up with parents who weren’t together, I wouldn’t wish that on any child. Not looking for a pity party. Just want everyone to know how strongly I feel about this, especially the haters who are so sure I am neglecting my responsibility. No one wants to know more than me if this is my baby girl!” Many members of the Below Deck universe quickly responded to the post and called out Jean-Luc for not doing the right thing, including costar Sydney, who asked, "What is wrong with you?!" "Don’t play the innocent victim here JL. Man the fuk [sic] up," Colin added in the comments. Season 2 chef Natasha added: "I’m sorry JL but sounds like a pity party to me. Why didn’t you reach out 9 months ago ??? No woman deserves to be treated the way you treated Danny [sic]" While Jean-Luc didn't appear on part one of the reunion, he was still a large topic of conversation between the crew. "I think we blame everything on J.L. He's not here, it makes sense, right? Anything that went wrong this season," Glenn joked as the rest of the cast members laughed.

The Crew's Thoughts on Jean-Luc's Work Ethic

The Below Deck stars didn't hold back when they spoke about the deckhand’s absent approach to his job, with chief stew Daisy referring to Jean-Luc as "absolutely moronic" while explaining why she refused to let Dani take the blame for Jean-Luc not completing his duties during their night shifts.

Colin also opened up about his relationship with Jean-Luc throughout the season, some of which fans didn't get to see. 

"I didn't specifically get on with J.L. from the start, we didn't click. But I felt like he kind of didn't want to take instructions from Gary or myself sometimes," the chief engineer said. "That was just his attitude towards work." 

Captain Glenn, who applauded Sydney for her hard work in comparison, added: "He just didn't get the urgency of what is going on."

Gary's Treatment of the Women

In response to a fan question about him "being a twat to basically all the women on the boat," Gary admitted that he did feel badly about his behavior . Shortly after, all the women except Natasha raised their hand when they were asked if they felt like the bosun didn't always treat them well.

Daisy specifically called out Gary earlier in the reunion episode for the way he spoke about her when she wasn't around. "You clearly also hated me and thought that I was a giant bitch," she revealed.

Gary, for his part, clarified: "I may have said you were acting bitchy, I never said you're a bitch.”

Dani and Her Castmates Address Her Baby's Paternity

After Dani shared that Jean-Luc did not want to be involved in her pregnancy, her costars had plenty to say about the deckhand's reaction.

"She's working so hard. She's doing 12-hour days. She's trying to get herself prepared as best as she can. And it is incredibly disgusting and frustrating that [Jean-Luc] won't even acknowledge the situation," Alli responded. "My heart breaks for Dani but she is so strong. I know that she can do this without him and will be better off."

Meanwhile, Gary claimed that Jean-Luc "does not have a spine."

"For the little respect that I had for him, that's gone out the window," he added.

Gary Had a Girlfriend

Alli dropped the bombshell that Gary had a girlfriend when he joined the boat during part two of the Below Deck reunion.

"We were in a very complicated relationship. I hadn't seen her for eight months prior to me coming on the show. Not seeing someone for eight months and growing apart in those months ... do we put a label on that? No," Gary explained after the big reveal.

For Alli, this was a major reason why she felt like it wasn't fair for Sydney to be so mad about their situation with Gary.  

"I did everything I could to be respectful in a situation but at the end of the day, when you sleep with someone when they are in a relationship, I feel like that voids you being able to treat me the way you treated me," Alli told Sydney.

Another Below Deck Baby

The former stew, who confirmed the news on social media before part one of the reunion aired , revealed that she was expecting a baby.

"Dani and I are pregnant at the same time. It's so cool!" Alli gushed about her exciting news.

Gary admitted that he didn't know his ex was pregnant, but said that he was happy for her.

"She told me when I spoke to her that her boyfriend treats her well and treats her like a princess, and at the end of the day as long as Alli is happy then I am happy," he added.

The Crossing Timeline

After Cohen asked about the crossing, Alli and Gary explained that they were an official couple during that period of time, but that it was never meant to last.

"It was inevitable that she was always leaving to Australia, so I think in the back of our minds we knew that we could never seriously work because of that," Gary clarified. "Regardless of the great chemistry and the ability to make each other laugh endlessly, and also finish each other's sentences."

Jean-Luc is the Father of Dani's Baby

"Let's put it this way. This baby was made during the season while we had cameras 24/7 with us and I only slept with one guy," Dani finally confirmed. "He hasn't supported me at all in any way. He thinks it is not his child and he doesn't want to have anything to do with it."

Dani opened up about the negativity that she saw online from people like Jean-Luc's mother and how she struggled with that.

"Obviously, I say during the whole season that I want to be a mom and have a family, but I wanted a family. That was my plan. That was my vision. I would not choose to move to a new country where I don't know anybody and choose to have a child with a 24-year-old boy that I barely knew," she emotionally revealed. "I did not plan that. I am just going with this now and I am sure my little baby girl is going to be amazing."

The Big Picture

• Captain Jason fired crew members for making unwanted advances, received praise for swift action.
• Captains are known for working with nonprofits and speaking engagements during off-season.
• Season 3 of Below Deck Down Under is being filmed in Seychelles with new transformations.

After a particularly grueling and dark Below Deck Down Under Season 2 , many are curious about what's going on with reality TV star Captain Jason Chambers. Last season, the series took on a tragic and uncomfortable storyline revolving around non-consensual physical contact. Halfway through Season 2, two crew members, bosun Luke Jones and Laura Bileskalne, were caught on camera making unwanted advances toward other crew members. Both instances required outside intervention and led to Captain Jason firing them. In the end, the team received praise for their swift action and the season continued to be an amazing addition to the Below Deck franchise. After the dark turn of events, New Zealander Luka Brunton took over Luke's spot and Jamie Neale took Laura's position.

The rest of the season would follow suit with Below Deck history, and be filled with hookups, arguments, and endless drama to keep viewers satisfied. However, between the response from the storyline and the long wait from Season 2, the possibility of a Season 3 return seemed miniscule. The longer the wait, the more silent the crew became and the harder to believe the series would return. The more extended break between seasons is causing a shift to focus on the crew and what they've been up to. Luckily though, since the season has ended, the popular Captain has stayed occupied while he waits to board the next superyacht. Along with some influential charity work, the Captain has been super busy, and here's what he's been up to.

Follows the crew of a multi million dollar charter boat in the Caribbean.

Jason Chambers Was Working With a Nonprofit

When captains are not at sea, many are known for making public appearances and even volunteering their time. For example, Captain Sandy Yawn is a renowned public speaker who hopes to provide inspiring and courteous offerings of advice. In many of her speeches, she stresses the importance of not taking no for an answer, breaking barriers, and being a woman in a male-dominated industry. It seems that Captain Jason may have similar goals. With the series on hiatus, Captain Jason has kept himself engaged and dedicated as a public servant . One way he has kept occupied during the off-season was through volunteering efforts and working on nonprofit projects, specifically in Indonesia. Recently on Instagram , Captain Jason shared his collaboration efforts with Classroom of Hope , a charity for children's education. The stalwart Captain raised over $80,000, which was enough money to build two new schools in Indonesia.

This 'Below Deck' Couple Was the Bravo Showmance We Deserved

On a network filled with relationship scandals, a budding fling ‘Below Deck’ had the hallmarks of true romance.

In the videos, he can be seen interacting with the children, helping build the schools, and showcasing his pride in philanthropy. Between his efforts and collaboration with Classroom of Hope , Captain Jason made education more accessible for hundreds of young children. While helping third-world countries improve their education is important to the captain, that doesn't seem to be his only mission in Indonesia. His social media posts also highlight his time on conservation and safaris, while also expressing his "weekend mode" as he enjoyed off-charter water adventures. His Instagram also showcased him "rediscovering his heart" by engaging in a Balinese cleansing ritual by a Hindu priest. Ultimately, Captain Jason has become a major role model in the sea and philanthropy world. He's an inspiration to many people as he continues forth with his efforts to improve land and sea.

Captain Jason Hung Out With Scheana Shay From Vanderpump Rules

While being a captain and looking after a crew is a serious and demanding occupation, Jason isn't only about business . He certainly knows how to have fun and enjoy life. The captain showed off his charming personality in the franchise through his witty banter and friendly connection with Aesha Scott . He also showed how much fun he could have through something as small and silly as jumping in the water randomly. However, the Captain also knows how to switch it up and have fun off the superyacht as well. During the break from Season 2, Captain Jason was spotted at Universal Studios.

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 1 Almost Sank the Series

The first season of 'BDSY' traveled some rough seas.

He wasn't alone though, because alongside him was Vanderpump Rules star and fellow Bravo TV co-star Scheana Shay . Scheana was there with her husband, New Zealander Brock Davies . Having a fellow Australian native was sure to make Jason more comfortable throughout their outing. At Universal, Captain Jason's kids and Scheana's daughter hung together, while she and her husband showed the Captain an amazing time. The post on Instagram is a highlight reel of their gathering, sandwiched between the Captain's adventures in Indonesia. While his time at Universal isn't highlighted on Instagram as much as the rest of his activities, it shows the Captain loves to play just as hard as he works.

Captain Jason Is Most Likely Preparing for Season 3

Aside from hanging out with fellow reality TV stars and volunteering his time, there's one particular Below Deck activity fans would likely be excited for: the return of season 3. While the Captain himself is tightlipped about the upcoming Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Noah Samton , the Senior VP of unscripted current production at NBCUniversal, announced the third season was currently filming. He also teased that Season 3 had a few new transformations underway that were sure to keep fans entertained. Noah's comment could be in reference to the new filming location, which is suspected to be in La Digue, Seychelles. According to the Below Deck subreddit , there have been various sightings of a film crew for an “unnamed boat show.” However, the crew sighted was claimed to have Below Deck franchise apparel.

Additionally, there have been various sightings of possible charter guests . For example, hairdresser Jessica Weldon was found on Instagram with photos tagged with the Seychelles location and a handful of posts on a yacht with a film crew. After a deep dive, her friend's list revealed she followed some of the Below Deck stars, and they followed her back. The same could be said for the founder of Luna Media Group, Nikita Sachdev's Instagram , along with her traveling companions. Along with the confirmation of Season 3 and the rumored sightings of charter guests, various Below Deck stars, such as Harry van Vliet and Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph, were also believed to be involved with the filming of the new season. So while the Captain may not be giving much away, it might be safe to say that he's been behind the scenes filming for the show as well.

Overall, Season 2 ended almost a year ago. While normally the next season wouldn't take so long to air, that hasn't stopped the captain from being an involved and contributing member of society. It's obvious the Captain cares much about the environment too . In the last year, he's focused his efforts on enjoying life and making the world a better place. However, aside from volunteering his time in Indonesia, he was recently at the Bali Turtle Conservation farm in Balian, West Bali. The conservation was where he released baby Olive Ridley turtles into the sea. He has also been working on creating healthier products like sunscreen to help improve human skin while also boosting the marine ecosystem. In the end, Captain Jason has proven to be a valuable member of society and the Below Deck franchise and his return is highly awaited.

I'm certain below deck sailing yacht will be canceled after season 5 following gary king's misconduct allegations.

• Gary King's scandalous behavior ruined the show.
• Future cast members may not want to work with him.
• Viewers don't want to support Gary anymore.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has finally been confirmed, but after Gary King’s scandalous sexual misconduct allegations surfaced last year and halted the series , I think the show should be canceled after this season. Gary, the First Officer aboard Parsifal III, has been doing his best to downplay the serious allegations against him that he’d allegedly been sexually inappropriate with a makeup artist on the Below Deck production team. After years on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, the behavior sadly wasn’t surprising to viewers who have watched Gary’s playboy actions and seen him be derogatory toward women in the past.

Gary’s behavior has been difficult to watch throughout the years, but now that Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is moving forward and coming to Bravo, things have come to a surprising head. With Gary returning to the show, which was filmed over a year ago prior to the sexual misconduct allegations coming out, things could be tense between the First Officer and the rest of the crew should the news have broken while he was aboard Parsifal III. While it’s unlikely it’ll be covered in the series, I believe Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 could be its last.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Gary King's Behavior Ruined The Show

He’s been a nightmare since the beginning.

Gary ’s time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been difficult for some viewers to reckon with, especially after his behavior in the last year. While Gary has always been a polarizing figure in the series , many have found that watching him makes them uncomfortable after the allegations came out about his behavior, but were also uneasy about the First Officer before. Throughout Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s run, Gary has been known as the playboy type, flirting endlessly with women both on the sailing yacht’s crew and within the groups of guests aboard. Gary’s behavior hasn’t always been suspicious, but noticeable.

Gary has long been cast as the playboy of the series, but his time aboard Parsifal III hasn’t led to many romances that viewers have seen, which is why his time in the love triangle of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 was surprising. While Gary and Daisy had joked about being flirty throughout the previous seasons they’d worked together when Daisy and Colin Macrae decided to pursue a relationship aboard the sailing yacht last season, Gary quickly got jealous. Gary’s behavior was irritating , destructive, and made it clear that he wasn’t taking their genuine feelings for each other seriously.

Future Cast Members Likely Won't Want To Work With Him

Below deck sailing yacht is going to struggle with casting.

While Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is already filmed and ready to go, Bravo may struggle filling spots on the series in the future . The cast of the series is, as with other Below Deck franchises, a rotating cast of yachties who work from season to season on the sailing yacht. While some stick around, like Captain Glenn Shephard, Gary, and Daisy Kelliher, others are rotating members who participate in some seasons, but not others. With a rotating cast of yachties, Below Deck Sailing Yacht needs to stay appealing to yachties who want to start working with the franchise.

While Gary has been a longtime part of the show, his behavior on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 was difficult for others to deal with. From his jealousy of Daisy and Colin to the way he treated stew Mads Herrera, who he had a flirty connection with, Gary wasn’t the ideal yachtie to work with. While his behavior could’ve been blown out of proportion for the show, the allegations against him were a far different brand of problem. With Gary accused of sexual misconduct while working aboard a Below Deck yacht, new yachties will likely want to steer clear .

Fans Won't Want To Watch Gary King Anymore

Viewers don’t want to support gary.

Much like the yachties who could be interested in working aboard a Below Deck superyacht that will be dissuaded because of Gary’s actions, viewers aren’t interested in tuning in to support Gary. While that isn’t necessarily the same as supporting Below Deck Sailing Yacht, the series is at fault for giving Gary a platform to continue to appear as a public figure after some serious allegations were lodged against him. Many viewers love the show but don’t want to watch it if Gary is on it because that simply means they support someone who has potentially done something deeply inappropriate.

While Below Deck Sailing Yacht will be returning for another season this fall, I believe that the next season of the series will be the last one. Even though many enjoy the crew of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, support of the series won’t be as high if Gary continues to be featured on the show . After his poor behavior and the fact that he’s deflected the allegations consistently, viewers won’t be interested or invested in a story that heavily features Gary, even if the rest of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew are people they enjoy watching.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Not available

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is a spin-off of the Below Deck reality television series. Premiering on Bravo, the show follows the life of a Yacht crew as they attempt to navigate a busy Charter season in which many customers make use of a 177-foot sailing yacht. Over the first three seasons, the yacht has been to Greece, Croatia, and Spain.

10 Below Deck Alums Who's Poor Performance Got Them Fired

• Below Deck crew members are quickly fired for poor performance, causing a ripple effect on the team.
• Chief Stews and Bosuns have tough leadership roles, dealing with high stress levels on the superyachts.
• Various crew members from different seasons faced termination for incompetence, affecting the overall dynamic onboard.

When Below Deck crew members start to perform poorly, they’re often axed from their casts and asked to leave the charter season. The reality yachting show debuted in 2016 and received a great reception. Led by Captain Lee Rosbach , Below Deck gave its audience a unique look into the lives of the crew working on superyachts. The yachting life intrigued viewers, with entertainment fueled by hectic moments onboard, boatmances, and clashes among crew . After the mainstay series became popularized, the franchise expanded with Below Deck Mediterranean , currently in its ninth season starring Captain Sandy Yawn and Aesha Scott .

Nowadays, Below Deck captains are quick to fire their substandard crews . When someone doesn't pull their weight, it causes a trickle-down effect on the rest of the crew. At the helm of each department are the Chief Stew and Bosun, tasked with leading the stews and deckhands, respectively. Aside from the captain and chef, they have some of the most difficult jobs on board and deal with high levels of stress. Aesha was one of the best Chief Stews during her run on Below Deck Med season 9, though the same can’t be said for other crew members from the franchise’s past.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Shane Coopersmith

Below deck season 8.

During his time on Below Deck season 8, Shane Coopersmith won over the audience but not his fellow crew members. He wasn’t outright disrespectful towards Captain Lee and Bosun Eddie Lucas. However, where Shane’s performance faltered was his tendency to oversleep . He didn’t wake up to his alarms and showed up late. Shane had good intentions heading into the charter season and wanted to gain more knowledge from Captain Lee and Eddie. However, he was fired after he slept in one time too many.

Chandler Brooks

Below deck season 6.

Chandler Brooks hasn’t returned to the franchise since his run as a Bosun in Below Deck season 6. Working with Captain Lee, the deck team noticed that the Bosun struggled with leadership. Deckhands Ashton Pienaar, Rhylee Gerber, and Ross Inia grew weary of Chandler and tried to bring their concerns to Captain Lee. After multiple occasions, he was fired for his poor performance. It seems Chandler wasn’t cut out to take the leadership role. He admitted he was relieved when Captain Lee fired him, which was an honest admission that made his poor showing make more sense to his crew and the viewers.

Chef Anthony Iracane

Below deck season 11.

Anthony Iracane was a promising new chef at the start of Below Deck season 11. He had the tough job of following in Rachel Hargrove’s footsteps after she served as the franchise's chef for three seasons in a row. At the beginning of the season, Chef Anthony charmed his crew members with his endearing personality. He formed a close friendship with Chief Stew Fraser Olender and championed his work as a chef throughout the season. However, when Chef Anthony’s performance faltered, Captain Kerry Titheradge considered firing him.

Organization was the chef’s kryptonite . Chef Anthony’s dishes were inconsistent, and Captain Kerry encouraged him to get his head into the game. After a few improvements, Anthony's confidence slipped, and so did his cooking in the galley. The rest of the crew wanted to see him win, but Fraser knew it was in their best interest if he was fired. After a final lackluster charter trip during the midway point of the season, Captain Kerry fired Chef Anthony. There was no ill will in his departure, and the captain hinted at him potentially returning to the show in the future.

Tom Pearson

Below deck sailing yacht season 3.

Tom Pearson joined Below Deck Sailing Yacht with an eager heart. The excitement surrounding the experience seemed to get the best of him, and he threw up in his cabin after a night out. It’s fine that he got sick, but Tom drew the line when he threw up in the living space he shared with Captain Glenn Shephard. He wasn’t fired because of that night, but rather an incident where he let the anchor drag on the ocean floor. Captain Glenn had hope for Tom but had to fire him after his mistake put them in danger.

Chef Leon Walker

Below deck season 3.

Leon Walker was an incredible chef on Below Deck season 3, but his bad attitude soured his time on the show. The guests and crew enjoyed his food, but he was eventually fired for his stubbornness. Chef Leon notably fought with Chief Stew Kate Chastain during the charter season. His worst moment during the season was likely when he started a fire in the galley due to uncleanliness. Chef Leon’s unwillingness to receive feedback played a hand in the fire, and he was asked to leave the charter season.

Jared Woodin

Jared Woodin joined the crew of Below Deck season 11 as Captain Kerry’s Bosun. His hiring admittedly shocked Ben Willoughby, who thought he would be promoted to Bosun after working as a deckhand during season 10. Nonetheless, Jared served as Bosun, and his leadership was almost immediately put into question. He was unsure when making decisions and didn’t seem present. Captain Kerry pulled Jared aside, and he admitted he was stressed about not communicating with his daughter on the superyacht . The captain had sympathy for his Bosun and tried to cheer him up.

Jared tried to get his head in the game but couldn’t. It was clear he was under high levels of stress that were affecting his judgment as a Bosun . One night after a charter trip, the crew went out to drink, and Jared became upset with Kyle Stillie. The deckhand dropped tobacco on the deck and hot tub, and Jared demanded he clean up his mess. Kyle intended to clean up in the morning, but Jared pressed the problem. Their drunken fight woke Captain Kerry, and Jared was fired the next day.

Camille Lamb

Below deck season 10.

Camille Lamb will likely go down in Below Deck history as one of the most chaotic crew members ever. She was featured on the franchise during season 10 of the mainstay series. The first red flag in her appearance was her hybrid role as a stew and deckhand. Camille had the difficult task of juggling her duties as a part of the interior and exterior team , which she didn’t manage that well. She complained when she had to work, leaving many questioning why she was hired in the first place.

Camille feuded with Chief Stew Fraser and Chef Rachel during the entirety of the charter season. He grew upset with the stew/deckhand because she would drink on the job. Captain Lee led Below Deck season 10 until he had to leave for medical reasons, and Captain Sandy stepped in as his replacement. Fraser and Chef Rachel told the captain about Camille’s bad behavior, and she was fired . Even after performing poorly throughout the charter season, she didn’t understand why her employment was terminated but returned during the crew’s final night out and made some amends with the crew.

Chef Mila Kolomeitseva

Below deck mediterranean season 4.

Chef Mila Kolomeitseva was unhinged during her time on Below Deck Med . Her casting marked the first time a female chef was featured on the franchise. Unfortunately, Chef Mila will also go down in Below Deck history as one of the worst chefs featured on the show. She had some terrible moments on the show, including when she attempted to make pancakes from a boxed mix and when she got caught licking steaks . Chef Mila was flabbergasted when Hannah Ferrier questioned her methods, and was fired by Captain Sandy after a guest called her food “ icky .”

Lexi Wilson

Below deck mediterranean season 6.

Lexi Wilson had a tough showing in Below Deck Med season 6. She worked underneath Captain Sandy and Chief Stew Katie Flood as a stew. Lexi showed little respect for the Chief Stew or the rest of the crew. When she drank, her behavior worsened . Lexi couldn’t get along with any of her co-workers, and Captain Sandy noticed this. The stew revealed the heartbreaking news that her father passed away three months before filming. Lexi was mourning during her time on the show and probably should have taken time before jumping back into the stressors of working on a superyacht.

Chef Ryan McKeown

Below deck down under season 1.

Chef Ryan McKeown had a huge ego on Below Deck Down Under . He was the first chef of the Australian-based spin-off alongside franchise favorite Aesha in her first time as Chief Stew on the show. However, his attitude quickly became negative. Chef Ryan clashed with Aesha and Captain Jason Chambers during the charter season. When the Chief Stew asked him questions about himself or his dishes, he snapped at her for no reason. Chef Ryan didn’t only disrespect Aesha but also the charter guests when he opted not to greet them at the beginning of the trips.

His distaste towards the Chief Stew was incredibly odd. Below Deck fans are fond of Aesha for her sweet, endearing personality. She was never rude to the chef, but it seemed as though he had a personal problem with her. Chef Ryan scoffed about her in his confessional interviews , stating, “ if [Aesha was] good at [her] job, we’ll have a good, healthy relationship ,” but if not, “ I just don’t want them around .” After multiple instances of disrespect, Captain Jason rightfully fired him.

Many crew members get fired for poor performance on Below Deck . Life on superyachts is mentally and physically taxing, and some can’t handle the pressure of life at sea. Without firings, Below Deck would be less shocking and entertaining, but it’s always sad to see a crew member’s employment being terminated on the show.

The Below Deck franchise is available to stream on Peacock.

Below Deck is a popular reality TV franchise that focuses on a group of crew members as they work on luxurious yachts and cater to their client's needs. After the original series proved to be a success, Bravo developed a handful of spinoff shows including Below Deck Selling Yacht, Below Deck Adventure, Below Deck Down Under, and Below Deck Mediterranean.

Below Deck Med’s Joe Bradley dragged for Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich’s treatment, called ‘worse’ than Gary King

Joe Bradley from Below Deck Med has the trolls coming for him over how he’s treated Elena “Ellie” Dubaich and Bri Muller during Season 9.

The haters aren’t here for Joe leading on the two women, causing a slew of drama in the interior department.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans know Gary’s womanizing ways have been front and center on the show for three seasons.

The most recent episode of Below Deck Med featured Joe declining a date with Ellie, only to flirt with her at dinner and literally hook up with Bri later in a bar bathroom.

Joe’s actions had X (formerly Twitter) in an uproar, slamming the deckhand for his behavior.

One X user didn’t even know what to say after describing the events that went down between Joe and Bri and Joe and Ellie on the episode.

Gross was a word to describe Joe again as one X questioned why the two women were fighting over him.

Joe getting stuck sitting next to Ellie at dinner after declining her date had an X user laughing out loud.

“Nathan takes “his girl” to fun dates while Joe Bradley takes them to uncomfortable positions in public bathrooms #BelowDeckMed,” said one X.

Oh yes, Joe’s bathroom stunt with Bri had social media riled up and also gave off Gary from Below Deck Sailing Yacht vibes.

“Joe might be worse than Gary #BelowDeckMed,” was an X, while another called out Jeo for his “f**k boy” behavior.

The deckhand was also referred to as being creepy, fake, and pretty disgusting for the way he treated the women.

Popular opinion was that Joe just wanted one thing and was playing both Ellie and Bri to get what he wanted.

Joe wants one thing. He knows Ellie won't give it to him, but Bri will. #belowdeckmed https://t.co/fDaRcaAzPQ — Michele Fallon (@MicheleFallon7) August 20, 2024

“The way this doucher freaked out at the notion of going on ONE date with a girl that he’s already shown interest in & made out with was sooo bizarre 🤯 The fck boy energy is STRONG with this one!!  😬,” declared an X.

Below Deck Med fans were disgusted at the way he spoke to and acted with Bri in the bathroom stall.

“Get in a position in a toilet stall? What a sweet talker Joe is. Ewwww! #belowdeckmed,” wrote one X user.

A different X was SMH at his bathroom antics with Bri.

Those are just a few examples of the backlash Joe Bradley has rightfully earned for his behavior on Below Deck Med.

Not that Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich are innocent, but Joe has definitely led them on, and honesty, is he even worth it?

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, the end of Below Deck Med Season 9 is almost here, so hopefully, that means Joe will have to answer for his actions soon.

What do you think of Joe being compared to Gary?

Daisy and Colin Reveal the Truth About What Happened After Filming BDSY Season 4

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht engineer dropped a serious bombshell about their boatmance: “Nobody knows this.”

The Parsifal III crew officially said goodbye to Season 4 of  Below Deck Sailing Yacht  with Part 2 of the reunion, which took place in the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen  Clubhouse on July 18.

In the reunion’s dramatic conclusion, chief stew Daisy Kelliher and engineer Colin MacRae finally faced off about the demise of their boatmance, which blossomed throughout the fourth season.

As the two shared their sides of the story regarding their breakup, Colin and Daisy revealed some major secrets about their relationship and what happened once the cameras stopped rolling. 

Keep scrolling for the biggest revelations from the second and final part of the reunion.

What Happened Between Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae After BDSY Season 4

When Colin and Daisy left Parsifal III on the Season 4 finale , they vowed to keep in contact and to see if their connection could last off the boat. 

During the reunion, Colin noted that the two “explored something together” after the show, but said things fell apart by the end of 2022. 

Gary King, Daisy Kelliher, and Colin MacRae Reflect on Their "Awkward" Love Triangle

“The first time I saw her again was at the Newport boat show. I flew her in from the U.K. to come see me. That was really good,” he said. “There was a couple of other things that we did. We spent a couple of weeks together in Mexico. I flew to New York to see her.”

However, after seeing each other a few times, Colin said the relationship took a hit. 

“We were kind of bouncing around together for a little while, and then it kind of turned a little toxic, I would say, and I ended things around December [of] last year,” he added. 

Why Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae’s Relationship Turned “Toxic”

Both Daisy and Colin agreed on one thing: Their romance ended badly. When asked why the relationship became toxic, Daisy said, “Because we triggered each other. You’re missing the whole point of why it really turned badly.”

Daisy went on to claim that Colin had been sleeping with someone else when he arrived to Parsifal III to film Season 4. 

“I turn up to the boat and I find out that he has been sleeping with someone that he is working with,” Daisy said, explaining why she seemed upset with Colin throughout the season. “So I immediately retreat, put up all of my walls… I become very defensive.”

The chief stew noted that Colin made her “feel very guilty about the Gary [King] thing” during filming, and “throughout the year” afterward.

“Then throughout the year, I permanently asked about this woman, and I asked why it was different with me and Gary and not this woman. And he said, ‘The difference is I’m telling you there’s nothing between me and this woman, that there is no future, even if you and I break up, there’s no future,’” Daisy recalled.

However, after she and Colin broke up, Daisy found out he was in a relationship with the woman he had apparently been hooking up with before Season 4.

“So then to find out from my crew members a couple of months after we had broken up that he was now in a serious relationship with this woman, it was very shocking for me to hear, very hurtful,” she added. “And the toxicity was always there because the trust was never there.”

Colin later spoke up about his girlfriend, noting that she “treats me really f-cking good.”

Colin MacRae and Daisy Kelliher’s Pre-Season Hook-Up

Viewers may have thought that Colin and Daisy shared their first kiss on the staircase on Episode 8 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 , but the engineer dropped a bombshell during the reunion that changed everything. 

“Before filming Season 4, Daisy and I hooked up,” Colin revealed. “This is what nobody knows in the audience, nobody knows this.”

Daisy interjected, asking for the two to “go back to Season 2” if they wanted to talk about everything that happened. 

“This is why the relationship turned toxic,” Colin said, reacting to Daisy’s interjection. “You can’t reason with this woman. And I realized that, and that’s why I ended things with her.”

Colin said he called Gary after he first hooked up with Daisy, and the first mate was “stoked.” He said he told Captain Glenn Shephard as well, and he was “happy about it.”

“Daisy was in my hotel room days before filming,” he added. “We had started something already.”

When did Colin MacRae find out about Gary King and Daisy Kelliher’s hook-up? 

While Daisy and Colin may not have been fully honest about when they first kissed, Colin said he really did find out about Daisy and Gary’s hook-up on the show.  “I found that out halfway through the season, filming,” he confirmed on the reunion.

Why Daisy Kelliher Got Emotional at the Reunion

On the final part of the reunion, viewers got some clarity about the moment when Daisy got up from her chair. 

The chief stew began to cry when Colin said she had “zero remorse” about the end of their relationship.

When she returned to her chair, Daisy explained why she had such a strong reaction.

“I’m f-cked either way. I’m always going to be the bitter, angry, crazy woman,” she said. “I’m never gonna win. It’s never gonna matter what I say. It’s never gonna matter, my actions.”

Where Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae Stand Today

Though Colin and Daisy no longer have a romantic relationship or even a friendship with each other, they both acknowledged that their connection was genuine. Colin noted that he “a thousand percent” had real feelings for Daisy.

“I told her the whole time. Before the season, during the season, after the season. Genuine connection. I did my very, very, very f-cking best to try to be with this woman. I flew her all around the place, I was trying to make it work,” he said. “This isn’t badmouthing Daisy, but she was sort of pushing me away a little bit, trying to figure out if it was real. Unfortunately, by the time she figured out it was real, we were arguing exactly as we are tonight.”

Gary King Just Revealed *This* Secret About Colin MacRae to a Below Deck Sailing Yacht Producer

Daisy said she wasn’t in love with Colin, but she did have “very strong feelings to the point of possibly we were falling in love.”

“I was more afraid by the fact that he didn’t tell me he was with this girl. I thought we were friends, and I thought we broke up in friendship,” she continued. “Knowing that all of these people on this screen knew this for months before I did is humiliating.”
