How ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Can Pick Up Some Wind In Its Sails For Season 2

Where to Stream:

• Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Dr. Nicole Martin Exits 'The Real Housewives of Miami' At Bravo Due To Postpartum Anxiety

Ariana madix's brother jeremy charged with attempting to smuggle 100 pounds of cannabis, 'rhonj' fans slam teresa giudice's "cruel" husband louie ruelas for wishing suffering on margaret josephs' family: "this guy is literally the devil", 'real housewives' spinoff starring dorinda medley in the works at bravo.

The first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht has come to an end, and even though that charter guest didn’t have any drugs on him, maybe this season of the Bravo series could’ve used some. Despite the fact that Sailing Yacht was the latest addition to the proven win that is the boating franchise, including Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean , that didn’t stop this season from needing a bit of wind in its sails.

But let’s focus on the positive first. Sailing Yacht showed viewers a new side to the industry with these sleek sailing boats that move unlike any of the other motor yachts we’ve seen before. The way the wind would catch in those sails and the boat would be thriving, that was truly majestic to watch. There was an element of action and adventure to this series that the others can’t claim.

We also met Captain Glenn who was the perfect captain for this boat. His laid back attitude, willingness to jump up and fix a sail, and adorable admissions during his interviews made him an excellent leader for this show. He’s bringing something different to the table than Captain Lee and Captain Sandy, but he is also capable of showing the same support and sternness when necessary. He was a true delight.

And now, the waters get a little choppy. Viewers were excited to see Chef Adam return for the series after his two-season stint on Below Deck Mediterranean , but this didn’t feel like the Adam we know and love. He’s always been a self-proclaimed grump who just wants to be left alone while he makes his masterpiece meals —and the food did look incredible. But his romance with chief stew Jenna was not nearly the fairytale we hoped for. It was kind of the opposite, even. Their frustrations with each other were our frustrations watching their relationship hit several speed bumps. And the more they seemed to fall for each other, the meaner they became to their coworkers, especially Jenna, in order to have something to laugh about together. Considering how much time they spent together hugging and kissing and flirting in the kitchen, the only thing they were really cooking up was a bad taste in everyone’s mouths.

The only breakout from the interior was second stew Madison. Sure, she got herself worked up under the pressure of the job at times, but she still seemed to get the work done and had funny things to say in her interviews. She let viewers in on a big part of her life, she forgot to wear a bra to a beach picnic, and had the best facial reactions of anyone. Ultimately, she had the right mix of getting the job done and still being interesting for reality TV, which no one else on the boat really captured. If there’s another season of this show, bring her back as chief stew — it’s likely that would prevent the season from ever getting boring.

Then there’s Georgia. I’d love to know the details of the deal she clearly made with producers. Was it that they promised her 10 seconds of singing time in each episode in exchange for her pushing the forced “feelings for Paget” storyline? That never made any sense for a lot of reasons. If the two were close pals, that’s great. But he was clearly committed to Ciara, and despite their typical couple bickering, the two seem to be a strong match.

Deckhand Chris was nice and the kind of person you need to balance out a group of crazies, but everyone here was unfortunately normal(ish). Oh, but remember Parker? Wow does that feel ages ago. Perhaps it was because his time coincided with Jenna and Adam’s rocky road to love, but he never felt like an overly frustrating character in this mix. His behavior wasn’t that shocking, nor was his departure. Same goes for Byron, the first time an engineer has been a main cast member. We didn’t really learn more about what his job entails, we heard some witty one-liners from him, and he seemed cool enough. But that’s it.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 was just fine — even though that’s not a great thing in the world of reality TV. We watched it because the majority of this season aired while we were all stuck inside and it wasn’t as infuriating as the male privilege displayed at the end of the last season of Below Deck . It’s great that this franchise can air all year long, with Below Deck Med picking up in the same timeslot starting next week. But it’s got to find the humor of Below Deck Med or the competence of Below Deck and, ahem, sail with it. Jenna wasn’t a Kate or a Hannah, which would’ve been okay if those weren’t two very beloved skorts to fill. The romance wasn’t charming, the drama wasn’t salacious, the guests all seemed to be fine for the most part. That sounds nice and all, but nobody wants a boring vacation.

Hopefully there is a Season 2 because there’s a lot of potential here. If they can get the boat back up and running, and really, the cameras, it would be wise to lean likable in the casting for this show. We turn to Below Deck for an escape. The high-pressure of fulfilling guest needs while holding on as the boat tips to the side, and in extremely tight quarters, will produce enough drama. When we want fights, we watch Housewives , but Below Deck shouldn’t be frustrating, let alone infuriating. It should be fun. It’s just too bad no one seemed to have any this season.

What Happened in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1? (Full Recap)

• Stella Aurora
• September 13, 2022

In Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1, the crew’s already challenging task becomes even more challenging when the sails are up because they must manage the sails in strong winds and adjust to the boat’s steep lean while also resolving the passengers’ needs and potential problems.

On a luxurious sailing yacht with a fresh crew and equally demanding charter customers looking to follow the wind, the first season of Below Deck is set as they sail along Corfu’s pristine, blue waters. Onboard the 180-foot sailing vessel Parsifal III, chef Adam Glick of “Below Deck Mediterranean” is back in the kitchen.

The crew embarks on the 180-foot-long luxury sailing yacht Parsifal III this season. With the addition of Chef Adam Glick (Below Deck Mediterranean), Jenna MacGillivray, Byron Hissey, Madison Stalker, Georgia Grobler, and Parker McCown for the charter season, the current crew of Captain Glenn Shephard, yachting couple Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan, and crew members include Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan. 

Paget and Ciara are placed in the same department for the first time. As they rush to prepare for their first charter of the season with the boat in complete disorder, tensions between the old and new crew start to simmer.

Episode 2 - My Big Fat Bleak Wedding

Chief Stew Jenna is under pressure as she is expected to organize an impromptu wedding for two inebriated guests during the season’s first charter. With his new deck team, which includes Ciara, his longtime fiancée of four years, First Mate Paget is trying to maintain his composure and patience. 

Parker, a rookie deckhand, finds it difficult to fit in with the upscale yachting community. While climbing to fix a broken sail, Captain Glenn makes a dangerous maneuver. Two yachties have a heated interaction on their first night out that swiftly turns their business relationship into a personal one.

Episode 3 - Ros?-Fueled Regrets

Jenna wades through a sea of regrets following a wild, wine-fueled night out. She prepares herself for the awkward exchanges that will inevitably occur. When a party of fussy vegan visitors board Parsifal, Adam finds it difficult to meet their meat- and dairy-free diet demands. 

Chef Adam gives Georgia a bad attitude, so she turns to her developing friendship with Madison and her developing flirting with Paget for comfort. As tensions between them increase, Paget is concerned about how to be both Ciara’s supervisor and her boyfriend. This makes them wonder if the charter season would finally get the best of them.

Episode 4 - Baby On Board

The final breakfast of the charter is served at full speed, causing stews to brace and dishes to crack. The situation worsens when the deck crew attempts to dock in rough water. Parker’s immaturity starts to emerge due to the stress of being on charter. 

Paget and the group continue to get along during their night out, especially Georgia. Georgia is sent away in tears after Jenna criticizes her laundry system. Then an infant arrives as Parsifal’s youngest visitor yet. The yacht is filled with baby talk as Adam and Jenna’s romance develops.

Episode 5 - Shmexual Shmension

Captain Glenn slips into an unpleasant chat with a flirting adolescent as Parsifal sails into high winds with a baby on board. The escalating romance between Adam and Jenna generates tensions between Jenna and her internal crew. Jenna gives Madison short-notice instructions to set things for a beach picnic. 

Georgia adds more laundry to make Madison’s life difficult.  Paget tries to mediate while the guests watch Ciara and Parker argue about the chores of the deck. But when Ciara notices that the boat collides with the dock, everything comes to a head.

Episode 6 - Oof! I Did It Again

His patience wanes when Paget is left to take up the slack after Parsifal crashes into the dock. The crew fumbles to accommodate a new charter of males from Long Island as they set off in full champagne-sabering, chest-bumping splendor. Cooking for the brothers causes Adam to go into beast mode, but Jenna, who wants more from their relationship, makes him feel at ease. 

The guests wander through beach bars looking for girls but dive into the booze. Madison must decide how to manage a problematic charter guest. Additionally, Parker and Madison organize an unruly yacht party.

Episode 7 - Oooof There It Is!

Captain Glenn takes his own and imposes restrictions on this testosterone-fueled charter after observing the guests throw an out-of-control party. While attempting to handle Jenna’s expectations, Madison and Georgia are on different pages. 

When Adam criticizes Parker’s cabin behavior, Parker loses it. When Paget and Georgia swim together, Ciara observes them in an inappropriate setting. Adam and Jenna get into a heated argument on the dock because they can’t agree on the pace of their relationship.

Episode 8 - No Bra, No Shoes, Bad Service

The rest of the crew is put off by Adam and Jenna’s dramatic battle on the flybridges since they can’t agree on where their relationship stands. Parker resents Ciara’s bossiness despite her attempts to manage him. When the two start fighting, Captain Glenn notices and calls a meeting of the deck crew.

 Despite feeling overworked, Madison finds time to grow more in love with Parker. After their first altercation, Adam and Jenna are in a precarious position. Madison and Ciara make a mess of setting up the picnic and earn Jenna’s fury. 

Episode 9 - Parker's Big Adventure

Georgia steps up to surprise the visitors while Jenna and Adam pick up the pieces of Madison and Ciara’s disastrous beach picnic. Jenna learns the cause of Madison’s constant exhaustion. Parker tries to impress the visitors by carrying out an assignment. At the same time, Ciara stands aside to allow him to make his own mistakes. Jenna consults Glenn on the best course of action after reaching her breaking point with Madison.

Episode 10 - Big Deck Energy

Jenna and Captain Glenn have a challenging conversation with Madison. On their day off, the team gets along, and Georgia, Ciara, and Paget become a little too close after a proposal. Kaiti and Parker get back in touch, and Kaiti is invited to travel to Corfu. 

Adam and Jenna’s “shmexual shmension” finally materializes after a lovely day spent together. The high doesn’t last long, though, as Adam’s resentment flares up when Jenna and Georgia find out they have something in common.

Episode 11 - May the Breast Man Win

Jenna urges Georgia to act as a stop-gap after Adam exhibits jealous rage. Madison works assiduously to regain Jenna’s trust while keeping her head down. Guests at the Playboy have some fun with seashells while posing for pictures on the sand. 

Between Paget and Ciara, tensions are still very high. And Parker runs into trouble with a setup for a beach picnic, which puts him into a terrible downhill spiral. Although Captain Glenn steps in, it might be too late.

Episode 12 - New Chris On the Block

Glenn makes adjustments on board the Parsifal that drive the deck team crazy. Georgia and Madison become closer, and Madison lashes out at Adam for having Jenna over in the master guest cabin. 

Jenna alerts Madison to who is in charge when she gets wind of it.  Jenna’s confidence is challenged by a group of social media influencer guests. A disagreement also arises at dinner, putting a relationship in jeopardy.

Episode 13 - #Awkward

Jenna’s resentment grows as the charter guests continue to flirt with Adam brazenly. Paget and Ciara can’t seem to agree on anything, yet Paget and Georgia get along like old friends. Adam surprises Jenna with a grand romantic gesture that backfires. 

An unexpected marriage proposal puts a relationship to the test. Everyone is leaving for a meal on the pier. Jenna, Adam, Ciara, and Paget are served dinner at one table. And the others go across the street to the same restaurant for their dinner.

Episode 14 - The Birds

The crew becomes tense, and the boat tips over because crows are killed in the mast. The bond between Madison and Georgia is on the verge of breaking. Adam maintains his distance from Jenna while Paget and Christopher Miller start a British bromance. 

Georgia makes an effort to forget about Paget, but it is ineffective. When a group of delightfully uplifting charter guests board to honor the life of a close friend, everyone’s problems are put into perspective.

Episode 15 - You Snooze, You Lose

Adam and Jenna make an effort to repair their tense relationship. Madison and Ciara pick up the slack in work when Jenna joins Adam for a nap during her break, and Glenn notices. Paget hurts himself after Chris is harmed lifting a large water toy. 

Ciara is left to bear more weight as the deck team hobbles toward the finish line. Captain Glenn summons Jenna for a meeting that could have long-term repercussions after observing the delay in service on this charter.

Episode 16 - Dope!

Captain Glenn questions Jenna about her friendship with Adam. One of the crew members receives terrible news from a doctor who visits them. Captain Glenn is astonished that someone might have taken illegal substances onboard the boat as drama is roiling throughout all departments. 

The charter season is in danger of ending early due to a difficult choice and an upcoming drug search.

Episode 17 - Regatta Go!

In the season finale, a tense drug search on Parsifal III casts a shadow on the crew’s last charter and causes them to become anxious. The team works frantically to organize a sailing competition, but they are still unsure of receiving a tip. A heated argument breaks out as the interior department’s simmering tensions reach a breaking point. 

Georgia needs to express some emotions, even if doing so could permanently change some relationships. Captain Glenn sends the crew on one last mission. Time to celebrate Ciara’s birthday and reminisce about the season. The crew says some final and emotional goodbyes.

Watching rad tv, below deck sailing yacht s1:e16 dope recap.

I hear things got messy for our chief steward this week on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, ’bout TIME. But let’s see what actually happened, yes? Rolling hot into my recap of BDSY S1:E16 Dope! after the break!

We open where we left, in Captain Glenn Shephard’s office with chief steward Jenna MacGillivray discussing the recent hiccups in service. By that I mean the fact that she left one person on service and went to cuddle during.charter. I mean, if it was just that one time, you’d probably let it slide, right? But all season Jenna’s been at best an absent manager of her interior crew, preferring to hang out in the galley with chef Adam Glick .

You know, they really are well suited in that way.

Captain Glenn doesn’t waste time getting to the day in question, to be confronted with a wall of “That totally didn’t happen” re: only one person being on service.

Since Captain Glenn was clearing glasses and wiping down counters, he’s fully aware of who was down and who was on service and lying to him is a bad choice.

THEN Jenna says she can’t recall and since it’s literally the day before yesterday: the OllieNorthDefense does not apply.

Captain Glenn perseveres; and about lying down with Adam…maybe pump the brakes, sister. Keep it clean and PROFESSIONAL. Both of yous.

Third steward Georgia Grobler is about coming out of her skin trying to find out what’s going on, second steward Madison Stalker doesn’t know either, okay??

A doctor makes his way on board to see newish deckhand  Chris Miller who lifted a seabob and tweaked his back something awful. He still managed to dig rocks, lift heavy things, go up high on the mast and a sexy hot tub striptease, but painfully. Nobody wants a painful hot tub striptease.

The pain and tingles have gone into his foot, he’s lost feeling in spots and the doctor is very concerned. He may have nerve damage, he’ll have to have an MRI before the doctor will clear him to work.

WHY would this have to happen for the last charter? Wait. It always happens for the last charter! They’re always a man down on the last charter on Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean! Is it a case of Push Through Itis??

Jenna complains to Adam in the kitchen, but you really can’t shittalk on a superyacht. The Parsifal III looks roomy, but crew quarters are so tight that the Captain is always about four steps away and he’s going to hear you whining about being taken to task about service.

Now…who was it…that you said was shite on service…but who insisted she was always working…but you said WASN’T but now Captain Glenn has seen exactly that…who…oh right, it was MADISON.

Captain Glenn gets the bad news about Chris, let’s get this MRI going, the charter starts tomorrow!

They tell first mate Paget Berry, who feels sorry only for himself. Sorry the nerves in your back are potentially seriously injured, Paget. Oh wait.

Jenna confronts Madison while they’re cleaning cabins because she’s a shitty manager. She forces Madison to give an opinion about her and Adam carrying on in the crew mess then yells at her for having an opinion.

Jenna storms out, she’s not telling them to do ANYTHING, SO THERE!!

Madison takes Captain Glenn aside, she didn’t say anything bad about Jenna, right? Captain Glenn has had it. He was very careful to tell Jenna that the complaint came from outside her department but Jenna is a bully of the insecure variety. Of course she is then mean to someone she has control over.

Captain Glenn takes off like a shot with Madison trailing in his wake, she doesn’t like drama!

He finds Jenna in the master, do they need to get Georgia? No, okay, time for another chat. It’s much uglier this time, Captain Glenn takes Jenna to task about her actions: “you’re defending them and they’re indefensible.”

We’re clear that Captain Glenn would fire Jenna if there wasn’t only one charter left.

It’s a somber night on the Parsifal, deckhand Ciara Duggan and boyfriend Paget decide not to leave the ship for dinner. They’ve got a charter the next morning and a person down, better to stay on board and wipe stuff with pizza in hand.

Last pre-charter preference sheet meeting of the season wooooo! Who we got, coach?? Nicole Gary will be our last Primary Charter Guest of the first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, awww! She’s from Manhattan and likes long walks on the beach. Dislikes: people who frown. I’m joshing, she’s in real estate, she likes EQUITY! Friends Noelle Nikpour, Jeanette Spinelli and Nick Buchanan will be joining Nicole, who wants a Pink Party replete with a seven course pink tasting menu.

Pink….tasting menu?

That sounds like a LOT of beet juice being stuffed where it shouldn’t, which is literally everywhere.

The guests give a note about expecting great service, Jenna cracks a joke that they’re going to be disappointed and Adam cracks up. Captain Glenn does not.

Adam reviews the tasting menu with Jenna, then she calls her team together for another meeting! Yay!

She tells Georgia to HTFU and Madison to focus, whatever, Jenna. Maybe admit you’ve been slightly distracted but you’re back on course and ready to knock out this last charter, that would go a lot further.

Everyone works like crazy except poor Ciara, who is coughing and cranky. Is she sick too? Then I might feel bad for Paget, he’d be carrying everything on deck, literally and figuratively.

Guest arrival time!

I like the looks of Primary Nicole! Lookit Mr. BowTieShorts behind her! Why don’t more people make an effort to wear cool stuff?

Boat Tour! We seem to be zooming through really fast, but it’s the last one of the season, guys! We won’t see the Parsifal again until…okay, next week. But after that!

Adam and the crew bring up snacks for the guests in the salon, why does he sit? He’s not confabbing in a workshop with pals, he’s serving them food in a luxury superyacht, stand up and stop the manspread.

Madison and Georgia unpack guest luggage, I think that’s the part of traveling rich I would find the most awesome and terrible. Get out of my stuff! But also press it and hang it up and put it all away again, thanks. Good thing there is exactly zero chance of my traveling rich. Whew!

Paget hurts his knee to go with his pulled hamstring on the other leg while Chris hovers around hopefully. He’s not even allowed to pick up shoes until the doctor clears him.

Captain Glenn is Canadian, he’s not going to mess around with Health and Safety. Canuck represent!

Chris gets a call from the doctor, it’s not good news. He does have a disc prolapse and he’ll need to see a specialist, no lifting anything until then.

It’s Nicholas Buchanan that is the fancy dresser, woooo! Now he’s in reflective shorts and I think I’ve figured out why I may have had issues dating in the past: I really dig dudes who are sometimes only into dudes, apparently.

Other charter guest Billy LastNameCouldn’tSee, maybe Billy Lolli? heads down to his room to sniff something. He pops up on deck to ask to drive the boat as Paget gathers some more chairs for the guests to sit on. Paget’s eating lunch at the time, I guess it would have been too much for Jenna to ask chief engineer Byron Hissel who was right there or something.

The wind picks up, it’s almost time to go sailing!! Look how gorgeous!

And now in motion:

Chris calls Captain Glenn for a chat as Ciara tells Paget she’s sick too. Yep, I finally feel sorry for Paget, his whole department is dropping like flies. He comes into the crew mess, “And then there was one.” LOL

We’re up to 8 degrees heel, charter guest Jeannette is driving with Byron supervising. The wind dies and the sails are stowed. Most of the guests are napping when Captain Glenn drops anchor at Avlaki, Corfu, they’re missing a spectacular sunset.

Paget and Georgia have a nice moment on the bridge, he’s going to miss her! Almost as much as she’ll miss him, that type of crush can be a nice reminder that you’re alive.

The interior team sets the table with a beautiful pink table setting while Adam works on his pink menu, that seemed like not a lot of time to prepare for such specific requests, didn’t it? Billy the Guest just haaaangs around the table.

Primary Nicole fell asleep on deck and doesn’t wake up until 8:30, half an hour after supper is supposed to start.

Why did nobody wake her up??

It’s 10:00 pm and the Primary is just now putting on makeup, her friends are about to faint from starvation and Adam’s losing his mind in the galley.

I’d like to feel bad for everyone but:

• Nicole Gary is the Primary Charter Guest
• That means she’s paying
• If they cared so much about supper, they should have woken her up
• She’s paying. Shhhh

It’s just that it’s past 10 pm and they’ve requested a seven course tasting menu. 7. That’s going to be a very late night for everyone. Next time someone shake a shoulder!

I’m kind of obsessed with this table!

Primary Nicole looks beautiful but Noelle Nikpour is ready to cut a betch.

First course! Prosciutto and Parmesan with truffle.

There are only five guests, that seems like a tiny group for a yacht this size. Billy can barely keep his eyes open, Jenna wonders aloud if everyone is on drugs.

Second course! Grapefruit salad with grapefruit vinaigrette.

Billy leaves before eating to go to the bathroom. I’m confused because his peeing sounds like sniffing.

Third course is smoked trout with caviar and crostini.

Sorry, I’ve been recapping GBBO a lot lately and it involves a lot of food pictures.

Fourth course! Beet salad with goat’s cheese.

Fifth course: lobster with pink potatoes and Bearnaise. Primary Nicole is very excited about the lobster.

Jenna uses the time in between courses to yell at Madison for not getting the cabins done sooner, Madison is also leaving the cabins to come help serve so we don’t know what the hell Jenna is talking about.

Chris takes Jenna aside, he saw something under Billy’s nose earlier, now she has to say something.

It’s 12:15 am and we’re finally getting our sixth course, watermelon granita.

Last and seventh course is dessert!

Yay! Adam comes out for that one, he did a great job with a weird request. The guests head to bed save Billy and Nicholas, who stay up chitchatting in their room until 3:45 am while Madison and Chris clean the boat.

Oh wow, this is the last day on charter? Already? Huh. I thought for sure they’d be on charter a couple of days, but Byron says this is the last day of the season so it must be.

Jenna tells Captain Glenn about the mysterious powder under Billy’s nose as Adam serves breakfast at 9:45 am. Nick says he and Billy didn’t sleep at all, I wonder if it was just that the Bravo crew fell asleep at 3:45 am.

Captain Glenn is very concerned to hear about this suspicious white powder under Billy’s nose, he would have liked to have been notified in the moment so he could have viewed it himself. He wakes up Chris to confirm and then views the guest himself. Billy is obnoxious, but Captain Glenn brings up a valid point: what if it’s not cocaine but prescribed Adderall? I understand that can be snorted, right?

All I know of Adderall I learned from gossip websites.

Captain Glenn asks to speak to Primary Nicole and we’re out for today! Next week is the season finale, it looks like we get a peek inside Billy’s bag, wooo.

Until then, cheers.

Have a good time? Please spread the word :)

'Below Deck' Finale: Glenn's drug search goes awry, fans say Billy hid his stash and should have been tested

Bravo's 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' returned this week with its finale episode and it was explosive to say the least. It began with a drug investigation and ended with heartbreaks and goodbyes. 

Previously, Captain Glenn Shephard was informed by his crew members — Jenna MacGillivray and Chris Miller — that they had spotted white powder under Billy's (one of the charter guests) nose. Based on their observations, Glenn had a chat with the guests and expressed an interest in searching their belongings, to which Billy readily agreed while he said: "I have got nothing to hide bro." Glenn rummaged through his luggage as Madison Stalker watched. It was already a stressful situation, which got out of hand when Glenn didn't find drugs on Billy. It put off Billy and his friends on vacation. Minutes later, Billy walked up to Glenn and confronted him for conducting the search. He made it a point to let Glenn know that he was offended. 

Sure, it's humiliating to be accused of something one hasn't done but Glenn's hands are pretty tied here because that's the protocol — any suspicion would lead to a search. And being caught in possession of drugs on the boat have serious legal implications. The yacht could be confiscated and Glenn could lose his license. So, there was a lot at stake and it would only be foolish of Glenn if he ignored Jenna and Chris' accounts. 

Meanwhile, fans think Glenn didn't find drugs on Billy because he had already snorted all of it or hid it somewhere it couldn't be found. "I think he already snorted them so Glenn would only find out if he did a drug test," a fan commented. Another shared: "We know damn well that they hid those drugs elsewhere. They wouldn’t stash them in luggage since interior goes in. They were put somewhere in that room though. That guest was snorting something at dinner the night prior. He lyin!! #BelowDeckSailing." 

One more said, "For someone who’s claiming not to have drugs on board, Billy is acting a lot like someone who may have drugs on board #BelowDeckSailing #BelowDeckSailingYacht," a viewer expressed. "The captain may not have found any drugs, but that doesn’t mean the dude wasn’t using. His behavior speaks for itself.#BelowDeckSailing." Another user tweeted, "Billy claiming he's so offended and has no drugs on board... BECAUSE HE SNORTED THEM ALL #belowdecksailing."

Here’s What the Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Is Currently Up to Now

Are Jenna and Adam still together?

After the massive success of Below Deck and its spinoff Below Deck Med , Bravo decided to test the waters on a new iteration of its hit series earlier this year. That's where Below Deck: Sailing Yacht came in, taking place on a luxury sailing boat, the Parsifal III, adrift in the Ionian Sea.

From a spontaneous proposal failing spectacularly to a joke about being breastfed as an adult, Sailing Yacht was as much a dramatic success as the other franchises. It also left fans wondering about what's happening to the crew since the show wrapped. Did chief stew Jenna and chef Adam stay together? What's going on with Georgia's music? And most important—is Captain Glenn really as cool as we think he is?

Here's what the cast of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is up to now:

Jenna MacGillivray

When the Canadian stepped onto the Parsifal III, fans got exactly what they hoped for in a chief stew—a no-nonsense leader who also had a romantic spot in her heart for the chef in the galley. Though her relationship with Adam Glick proved to be tumultuous, the two dated for some time after the season wrapped, even taking some time to road-trip together.

These days, Jenna is enjoying some time off from yachting, but given her recent IG pics, she's excited to come back to another charter season.

Madison Stalker

Wherever Madison went, drama always seemed to follow the second stew during season one of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht . In between epic meltdowns (including a major one between her and Jenna over her lack of enthusiasm for her job), she left the boat a better person and leaving fans ready to see more from their new favorite cast member.

Judging by her Instagram account, she's taken a break from yachting (perhaps until next season of the show).

Georgia Grobler

As good of a third stew Georgia was on deck, fans were more invested in her budding music career and growing feelings for a very taken Paget. She proved she was great at her job and could make a career out of yachting.

While it's unclear whether she stayed in the yachting industry post- Sailing Yacht , Georgia's working on music, premiering new music videos on IGTV during the quarantine.

Below Deck Med fans were so excited when Adam joined the crew as the chef for Sailing Yacht . While he abided by the preference sheets this time around, he also began a rocky romance with chief stew Jenna, making most of the crew members wonder if he was there for his job or the girl.

Since the show wrapped, Adam's busy onshore, cooking, and traveling with his adorable puppy. Oh, and Adam has a web series, Stoked , where he travels across the country to meet with local chefs and learn about their regions... all while over a campfire.

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan

If there was any couple to root for from the entire Below Deck franchise, it's Paget and Ciara. The duo made a great team on deck, and mostly kept their relationship to a minimum on cameras—a first for Bravo! As they were the most familiar with the Parsifal III, the couple was the most reliable, and fans loved seeing their relationship continue blossoming post-filming.

These days, the couple has a lot to be excited about—they're now engaged. While they're soaking up their romantic bliss, they're also still working in yachting, although it's sadly on separate boats.

Byron Hissey

As the chief engineer of Parsifal III, Byron was clearly there to just do his job. But, given how he was the only cast member to have a wife and child back home, he also became the dad of the group, taking care of the other crew members.

Since filming wrapped, it looks like Byron is back on a boat doing exactly what he does best—fixing and making sure the engines run smoothly.

Parker McCown

Relatively new to the yachting industry, fans are more likely to remember the deckhand for his enraged rant about being breastfed by his mother. While he didn't necessarily have all the skills to make it as a deckhand, he definitely had a soft spot for his ex-girlfriend Kaiti, whom he eventually left Parsifal III to go back to at home.

It looks like the decision to leave the show worked out for Parker, as he's now engaged to Kaiti and writing some tunes while onshore.

Chris Miller

As Parker's replacement for the latter half of the season, Chris proved a great deckhand and an asset to the team, all while battling an injury.

These days, Chris seems to be taking some time off from yachting to travel across Europe.

Captain Glenn Sheppard

Captain Glenn was tough, fair, and not afraid to have a good time, which both crew and guests very much appreciated.

Thankfully, his reality TV experience hasn't turned him off yachting forever. Glenn is still the captain for Parsifal III and traveling through the Mediterranean.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Recap: Love Island

Below deck sailing yacht.

The latest season of  Vanderpump Rules  may be over, but the Bravo gods have blessed us with  Below Deck ’s own version of Scandoval to keep us occupied, with Gary in the Tom Sandoval role, Colin sort of in Ariana’s shoes, and Daisy as a version of Raquel who’s much less in the wrong.

After Colin fixes the clogged toilet in Mads and Daisy’s cabin, everyone gathers for the tip meeting, where Captain Glenn shares that they got a $13,000 tip. This might be good for a short charter, but I feel like those ladies should’ve paid more since one guest had the nerve to accuse the crew of stealing her stuff and then didn’t even bother apologizing.

The crew pregame their night out with a small party for Gary, where Daisy jokes that they should all drink every time Gary sleeps with a stew, which kills the mood and makes him upset. He pulls Daisy aside and asks her to be nice to him because she always brings him “down in front of people” with her rude comments disguised as jokes. Daisy dwells on this throughout dinner, confiding in Ileisha that she feels bad because she never intended to hurt his feelings. But really, Daisy is doing God’s work by humbling him.

Once they’re back on the boat, Mads, Alex, and Lucy share a short three-way kiss while Gary asks Colin if he will hook up with Daisy again. Moments later, while Colin is at the bar with Alex, Daisy practically begs Gary to give her a hug, and he tells her he’ll give her a kiss, too, as long as the guys aren’t looking. She then apologizes to Gary for making him feel bad, and he says that it hurts more when it comes from her because “I care for you so much.” I can’t tell if Gary genuinely has feelings for Daisy or if he’s just desperate to keep her away from Colin.

Daisy shares that she has never had a romantic experience like the one she has with Colin, who isn’t like other guys (* cough * Gary) because he’s loyal and kind. Cut to a shot of the hallway leading to the guest cabins, where Gary and Mads are banging as Gary sings “happy birthday to me!” in a way that will haunt me forever. Petition for Bravo to stop including the cringey sex noises, not just because it’s gross but because they at least deserve a sliver of privacy.

The crew gets the entire next day off, which they’ll be spending at a touristy local beach club with their own private cabana, which becomes the site of so much chaos. Let’s get the non-love-triangle drama out of the way first. While drunk Mads wants to have sex so badly that she’ll constantly slither into Gary’s bed, sober Mads is completely repulsed by the man. She calls him a “weirdo” for touching her belly button, and instead of listening, he keeps touching her so much that Colin tells him to “stop being clingy,” which is the best advice he’ll ever hear.

Later, in a moment straight out of  Love Island , Mads and Lucy step away from the group to chat on the daybed about where Mads’s “head is at.” Mads says she doesn’t take Gary seriously (who would?) because of his shitty personality and behavior, and I can’t blame her. She adds that she won’t show “serious emotions” to someone who doesn’t act serious toward her, which is a level of emotional maturity rare in Gary’s past onscreen romantic partners. In a confessional, Lucy, the  Parsifal ’s new voice of reason, says that she feels bad for Mads because Gary has trapped her despite not being exclusive. Mads has really only been hooking up with Gary out of convenience, so I’d love to see her finally pursue something with Alex, who is much hotter than Gary.

Ileisha, who is excited to finally have the chance to relax, instead gets thrown into a bad mood when Colin mentions how the chef last season, Marcos, was on another level of excellence in the galley. Ileisha takes this as an insult to her work and runs to the bathroom to cry, telling us that Colin should be uplifting her instead of bringing her down. I don’t think Colin intended the comment to be hurtful, but I still feel for Ileisha. Not only has she been a refreshing presence on the show, but she has consistently put out amazing meals despite the hurdles that have come her way. I’d hate to see her let some minor feedback get in the way right after she’s finally received some positive comments from Captain Glenn.

Speaking of Captain Glenn, he takes advantage of having the boat all to himself by spending the day playing on the eFoil and having drinks in the Jacuzzi. Relatable king! I would do anything to see an episode composed of just clips of him doing random things around the boat.

Now that we’ve gotten all that out of the way, it’s time to dig into the main event. Gary and Daisy spend the entire beach day being very touchy with each other. Gary tells her how beautiful she looks several times and, even worse, goes so far as to motorboat her boobs. Gary has absolutely zero respect for Colin or Mads, whom he was just commanding not to be affectionate with other men. And I hate to say it, but Daisy also doesn’t show much consideration for Colin here. Colin is shocked by what he’s witnessing even though, as he tells us, they’ve always had a flirty dynamic (he’s so clueless). Welcome to the world of  Below Deck  boatmances, Colin! All of this behavior from Gary and Daisy (but mostly Daisy) is baffling to me, but I have to assume that the editors played it up as a segue into the bombshell reveal.

Speaking of the big reveal, Gary spills that he and Daisy previously had sex, which would’ve been much more exciting — albeit unsurprising because it was pretty obvious — had it not already been spoiled by the mid-season preview. In the moments leading up to the reveal, Gary gets annoyed at dinner when he sees Daisy and Colin engaging in PDA. He tells Daisy that he thinks “we need to be together,” and Daisy says that his immediately hooking up with Mads at the start of the season showed her what she meant to him. Gary then says, “I know you like Colin as a mate, but I know you actually have feelings for me,” which is manipulative as hell.

They leave the table to continue arguing, and Gary tells Daisy that everything would’ve been different had he not gotten COVID and then suggests that she’s only hooking up with Colin to spite him. Daisy tells him she doesn’t want to be with him because he bangs everyone and that he only wants her now that he can’t have her, which is all true. He then snidely says that “Having sex with you was fucking amazing,” in a way that is so sinister I wanted to slap him. Daisy confirms in a confessional that they slept together twice after season three wrapped — once while in Menorca and the other time during a trip to Disneyland — and that she asked him not to tell anyone.

Look, I know this is a reality show and everything, but it’s childish and borderline evil for Gary to disclose their personal information in such a retaliatory way. You can’t spend years acting like a fuckboy and then get mad when someone you like yet constantly disregard starts hooking up with someone else. Gary’s the one speaking publicly about their personal lives for revenge, yet he believes that Daisy is pursuing Colin to get back at him … make it make sense!!

In what feels like fan fiction at this point, Daisy feels torn between the bad boy and the nice guy. Regardless of how much she denies having feelings for Gary, it’s clear there’s still a spark there. If she didn’t feel anything for him, she would’ve shut him down and fully moved on a long time ago, but she tells us that the only thing really holding her back from being with him is the fact that he’s a manwhore who can’t stay loyal. While she may have real feelings for Colin, I think she only believes she should be with him because he’s the more well-adjusted and acceptable choice.

Back on the boat, Alex tells Mads he would “totally smash” her, and for a second, she has him convinced that they will before she ditches him to jump in Gary’s bed. This dumb decision made me want to scream at my laptop since she’s been waiting all season for Alex to make a move.

While Daisy and Colin make out in bed, she stops and decides that it’s the perfect time to let him know that she and Gary had sex twice, which makes him feel “a little confused” since he thought there wasn’t anything going on between them. Valid! Especially since they’ve denied it all season. He decides to go sleep in his room, and Daisy begs him not to leave as he expresses how he feels stupid for being lied to by his friends.

This episode may have delivered the goods (drama), but I can’t help but be put off by Gary’s increasingly disgusting behavior, which has become more difficult to watch by the minute.

Shocking ‘Industry’ Twist Began with ‘Coke and Boats’ Email to HBO

[Editor’s note: This story contains spoilers for “ Industry ” Season 3, Episode 6, “Nikki Beach, or: So Many Ways to Lose.”]

It is the most dramatic and arguably most consequential moment in the three seasons of HBO ‘s “ Industry .” During a heated argument with his daughter Yasmin ( Marisa Abela ), the disgraced book publisher Charles Hanani (Adam Levy) leaps from his yacht into the Mediterranean. His daughter decides not throw the buoy and save him, instead confiding in her friend Harper (Myha’la) to cover her tracks.

After the father-daughter unload, saying the most brutal and brutally honest things imaginable to one another, Levy, a well-established theater actor, saw the moment from his character’s perspective as a piece of theater, with Charles jumping as his moment to play the martyr.

“I was quickly able to find the motivation,” said Levy. “Charles is theatrical. It’s a vitriolic moment for him, before going in the water it was actually liberating. I think the trickiness was actually the intimate scenes on the boat with my daughter.”

Eklöf had one big note for Levy, which the actor agrees was the key to unlocking any villains he’s ever played.

“I’ve worked with male narcissists and psychopath [characters] in almost every single thing I’ve done, it’s always the same problem,” said Eklöf. “They have a hard time defending the character, because they think they’re supposed to play a stereotype. I always have to convince the guys who play rapists and bad guys that they need to have sympathy with this guy, otherwise it’s not going to work.”

“For Marisa, it wasn’t hard for her at all to find it. She’s very, very talented,” said Eklöf. “I think maybe it is kind of accessible for most women. Most women have had that feeling through life of butting their head against a stone wall of privilege, so I think it’s easily accessible.”

According to Abela, the way the writing built toward the moment, her character’s motivation was clear, and there was one moment in particular she saw a point of no return.

“I think it comes from the fact that when he pulls her into the hug, that she can feel him [Charles is still erect], I think that is a trigger for her because of her past. She sees red,” said Abela. “Hearing this sort of barrage of hatred from him, I do really think in that moment she wants to never see or think or hear from him again.”

In breaking down what immediately happens after Charles jumps, and her character’s decision to not act, Abela told IndieWire she analyzed the moment from three different perspectives, asking her the following: Is it a shock that he jumped? Is it an active decision? Is it negligence or even murder?

For Abela the Episode 6 fireworks are the punctuation of how the season has unfolded, with various flashbacks to the boat layered throughout the previous episodes.

“The flashbacks throughout the season punctuates how we filmed it. Each moment leads into the next,” said Abela. “Seeing him in her room on her bed [having sex with his young employee in Episode 1]. He’s brought her here, but he’s in lots of trouble, so he’s implicating her. There’s so much power abuse at the beginning of this [season] when it comes to her father because he knows that she’s completely financially dependent on him.”

The “Industry” creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay agree with Abela, and view the payoff in Episode 6 as an example of how in Season 3 the former investors-turned- TV writers finally got the hang of how to structure the arc of a season of TV. It started when they sat down to write the first episode of the season, making the realization they needed to start on the boat, dropping the audience into Yasmin’s perspective of navigating Charles’ debachorous world of drugs and young women.

Added Kay, “We had to [convince] a few of the producers, because they were like, ‘Why don’t you just front load this, why are you parceling out over the season? Why are you keeping Harper’s revelation on the boat to the end of [Episode] 2? And we actually felt emotionally that those scenes were going to have way more impact the way we doled them out. I think Episode 6 is one of the more successful episodes of the season in terms of how it clicks everything into focus.”

One of the late story adjustments was deciding to put Harper (Myha’la) on the boat, which leads to her helping Yasmin. Abela loved what the episode revealed about Harper’s character, juxtaposed to the two characters blow-out fight at the end of the episode — Yasmin infuriated Harper used her at work for her own gain, knowing she was particularly vulnerable. The contradiction saying everything about how transactional relationships are on “Industry.”

“[Harper] would literally bury a body with her if she needed to,” said Abela, referencing Harper helping Yasmin after Charles jumps. “But if Yasmin asks her to forfeit her climbing the professional ranks, that’s where she draws the line. It’s insane, but that’s the way it is.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 Reunion Part 1 Recap: Let’s Throw a Pita Party

By Glenn Rowley

Are you ready for the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 reunion? Because ready or not, it’s happening. The real question I asked myself as I sat down to enjoy Part 1 was, “Did this season really justify a reunion? Let alone two parts?” Frankly, I’m not sure the answer is yes. Sure, there are a number of unanswered questions, mostly revolving around a certain mystery pregnancy. But do we really need to rehash the number of pitas Natasha De Bourg made for breakfast or the love triangle that will just never end? Apparently, the answer is yes. So here we go. Get ready to count the pitas…

We’ve weathered a full year of virtual reunions on Bravo due to the coronavirus pandemic. And while other shows are now getting socially-distanced, in-person sit downs with Andy Cohen , all the Below Deck franchises are still reuniting virtually. Several fans seemed to complain about this fact on Twitter, but honestly, it kind of makes the most sense. At least from a logistical standpoint. The Parsifal crew remains flung across the world, making a physical reunion hosted in New York difficult to organize with global travel not quite back to normal yet.

Captain Glenn Shephard is at home in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. As are Daisy Kelliher and Sydney Zaruba , both of whom are working together on the same boat. (Hmm, interesting…could they already be in the midst of filming Season 3?) A wet-haired Gary King is reporting live from Genoa, Italy — the land of pesto. Natasha is the only one stateside, in Maryland for some reason. A very pregnant Dani Soares and Alli Dore are both in different parts of Australia. Colin Macrae is tuning in from a hotel in Panama. And Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux is…nowhere to be found. Apparently he’s on charter in Central America. But if Colin could trek two and a half hours through the Panamanian jungle to show up for the reunion, couldn’t JL have tried a little harder to make an appearance? Could he possibly be avoiding something?

The Battle of Daisy and Gary

Clashes between the interior and exterior are as commonplace in the world of Below Deck as, say, getting wet on a boat. So it’s really no surprise that the first thing we’re reliving from the season is the tension between Daisy and Gary . Now, Daisy is easily one of the best chief stews we’ve ever seen on any of these shows. Hands down. Even Kate Chastain thinks so. And as I’ve said in many a recap this season, Gary also seems quite capable in his role as chief officer. But if we’re forced to pick sides, we’re all squarely on Team Daisy, right?

The pair bicker over Gary ‘s refusal to help the interior for most of the season. His argument is that after working 17-hour days, the last thing he wanted to do was wash dishes. But to Daisy , the fact that Gary would always take his many (many) smoke breaks right in the middle of dinner service was more than a little suspect. She also takes issue with all the rude things he said about her this season, both behind her back and in confessionals. That must’ve been hard to watch back after thinking you were mostly OK with someone throughout filming. Though Gary refuses to believe he ever called the chief stew a “bitch.” Because, apparently, there’s a difference between being a “bitch” and just being “bitchy,” OK?

On a more positive note, Andy points out that this may be the first season in Below Deck history where all the stews genuinely got along. I mean, could you ever imagine a season devoid of interior resentment and passive-aggressive catfighting? Alli and Dani both chalk their effective teamwork up to Daisy being a good leader. I for one am definitely willing to bet she’ll be back as the Kate / Hannah Ferrier of the Sailing Yacht franchise for seasons to come…

The Many Mistakes of Natasha De Bourg

Next in the hot seat is Natasha , who spent the majority of the season swinging wildly in terms of quality. Though, to be fair, the guests almost always seemed to enjoy her food. Without hesitation, the chef says the hardest charter of the season was easily Barrie Drewitt-Barlow’s family. Or maybe it was just Barrie in particular. But the good news is that, after a season of mistakes, she claims she’s finally learned the difference between scrambled, poached and fried eggs. Personally, I’ll believe it when I see Natasha whip up some eggs à la Française.

One thing Natasha didn’t learn to do, though, is count. Andy revisits the pita bread drama from early in the season. And the chef maintains she really did make 20 pieces of pita for breakfast. In fact, she even has a photo to prove it! Except, uh, the receipt she tries to whip out does not show 20 pieces of pita…There are maybe 11 at most. (Personally, I counted nine.) Like Colin  gleefully said as he watched the drama play out, get it together Cheffy! If you’re going to try to come with receipts, at least make sure you’re in the right. Otherwise you just end up looking even more foolish. And not that Daisy cares anymore, but the pita photo does seem to vindicate her stance that Natasha was delusional during that breakfast.

The chef is also taken to task for only serving Erica Rose and co. three courses for dinner after promising five. Her excuse is that she thought the women wouldn’t eat much because they were wasted. And we didn’t even get to all the other times Natasha dropped the ball during the season. Like the cotton candy machine. Or the hollandaise sauce. But still, everyone in the crew — including Daisy — says they would choose to work with her again. Just maybe not on a sailboat next time?

When it comes time to discuss Parsifal’s epic crash into the dock, Captain Glenn would much rather keep talking about pita. But the good captain does have an update on what caused the “freak event,” and it comes courtesy of Byron Hissey , the Colin of Season 1. The malfunction allegedly had something to do with Glenn keeping the boat in “high revs.” He starts throwing out sailing terms like “stuck going into stern” and “controllable pitch propeller,” but it all goes straight over my — and Andy ‘s — head. All we need to know is the boat crashed into the dock. It was embarrassing. And it could’ve been stopped. But at least the good news is that the stones on the dock acted as a sort of giant shock absorber. At the end of the day, the repairs only cost a couple thousand bucks to fill in the cosmetic damage.

Somehow, this segues into a conversation about Jean-Luc ‘s lack of a work ethic. And it becomes pretty clear that everyone in the crew has basically turned on the deckhand in light of his treatment of Dani . (In case you somehow missed it, seriously delicious drama went down in the comments section of JL’s Instagram last week.) Sydney claims Gary did the best he could as a boss to Jean-Luc. But like the first officer points out, you can only lead a horse to water and all that… Andy stirs the pot by asking Glenn if Gary was a good example to the deck team this season. And the captain says professionally, of course. Personally? Eh, not so much. Which naturally leads us to…

It Takes Three to Tango

The never ending love triangle between Gary , Alli and Sydney ! I don’t want to talk about it. You don’t want to talk about it. Andy probably doesn’t want to talk about it. But we have to. Because that, me yachties, is what we’re here to do. Gary still has no explanation for why he decided to hook up with Sydney on the first night. Even after all these months, he can’t come up with a good excuse. He just calls it a drunken hook-up. And for her part, Sydney agrees. In her mind, she just happened to develop stronger feelings for Gary than he did for her.

Meanwhile, Alli finally pipes up for what feels like the first time all reunion. She makes clear that if she’d known earlier that Gary and Sydney had done more than kiss on that first night, she never, ever would’ve pursued a boatmance with the shaggy-haired chief officer. The third stew just wouldn’t have put herself in that situation. After all, didn’t she take herself out of it once she knew what really happened? (Well, and then put herself right back in it a day later? But that’s neither here nor there, apparently.)

Then, Gary makes a bizarre comparison about the domino effect of the love triangle. He tries to claim that Alli didn’t have feelings for him just the same way he didn’t have feelings for Sydney . I’m sorry, but what? If that was true, then what are we even doing here?? Incredulous, Alli fires back that Gary’s revisionist history is clearly a false narrative. But we’ll have to wait until Part 2 to see how the rest of this drama pans out…

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF JEAN-LUC NOT SHOWING UP FOR THE REUNION? ARE YOU TEAM DAISY OR TEAM GARY? DID YOU COUNT 20 PIECES OF PITA BREAD?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 Reunion, Part 1 Recap: Gary and Colin Go Head-To-Head

Welcome to the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 reunion. Host Andy Cohen was alone in the Clubhouse, as the rest of the cast appeared remotely via Zoom. It’s not an ideal reunion set-up, but when the crew are still working around the world, it has to do. Let’s jump into exactly what happened during Part 1 of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 reunion…

Heads of department start the show

First in the (remote) hot seat was Captain Glenn Shephard , calling in from Spain. After all the engine trouble with the boat this season, Andy wanted to know, “Is Parsifal III still up and running?”

“She sure is,” Glenn said. “We’ve had a lot of work done in the engineering department, and she’s ready to go. I’m on board [right now].”

Next up was Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher , who also joined the show from Spain. Could she also be aboard the Parsifal? I think it’s likely since the yachting season is in full swing this time of year.

Joining them was First Mate Gary King , who Andy called the “Kissing Bandit.” Gary was also, coincidentally, in Spain. Suspicious!

Also joining via Zoom was Chief Engineer Colin MacRae . “Colin, you found yourself in the middle of some drama this season,” Andy said. “How are you feeling about being here tonight?”

“I’m excited,” Colin said. “I just want to say my piece and get this all behind us.” Something tells me, he’s not on Parsifal with Daisy and Gary.

When Andy asked where he was, “because I want to be wherever it is you are,” Colin admitted he was in French Polynesia in the Tuamotu Islands. Wow. Nice work if you can get it. All I know is that Tahiti is in French Polynesia, and I’ve always wanted to go there. So jealous right now!

Bring on the underlings!

Next introduced were Junior Stews Madison “Mads” Herrera (from Boca Raton, Florida) and Lucy Edmunds (from Cardiff, Wales).

Joining the interior crew were Deckhands Alex Propson (from Fort Lauderdale, Florida) and Chase Lemacks (from Miami, Florida). Chase showed off a backpack containing an adorable dachshund named Charlie, and I was immediately smitten. I’m a sucker for the puppies, especially the wiener dogs since we had one when I was growing up. They are smart, sweet little pups.

And last, but as Andy said, “Certainly not least,” was Chef Ileisha Dell , coming to us from Byron Bay, Australia. Due to the time difference, it was 3:26 a.m. at Ileisha’s location. Now that’s dedication.

After welcoming everyone to the reunion, Andy settled down to business.

Questions for the crew

Greg D. asked Colin “how it feels to be the MVP of the season when there was a chance there might not even have been a season.”

“Going through that was absolutely horrible at the time,” admitted the boat’s engineer. “But it makes me look okay this season, I guess.”

“ Chrissy Teigen has been posting up a storm about how great this season has been,” Andy said. “I’m curious how you all have [handled] celebrity fandom to the show and if any have reached out to you.”

Daisy admitted to having “a few celebrities” reach out to her, but refused to name-drop, even though the rest of the crew urged her to do so. But then she relented and revealed that Christina Applegate and Chrissy had both reached out to her.

Daisy in the line of fire

Next, Andy mentioned what may be a first across the entire Below Deck franchise: the stews all got along this season! But it wasn’t all smooth sailing, as Daisy sometimes found herself in hot water with Captain Glenn. Stressed out early in the season, Daisy cried in her cabin a time or two, and even left a tip meeting in tears of frustration.

After Andy asked her what made this season more difficult than others in the past, Daisy said, “I’ve learned that I’m somebody who either needs reinforcement or no comment … I do not deal well when I’m sleep deprived and kind of getting this negative feedback. For me, it just wasn’t productive.”

Andy asked how she thought her superior should give feedback in order for her to improve at her job. “I think starting with a positive,” Daisy suggested. “Also for me, the feedback just felt … very personal … [and] irrelevant.” Daisy insisted that her absolute goal would be to have a stew with the guests at all times, but it’s just not practical when there are so many other things to accomplish, including breaks for her crew.

Is Daisy being defensive?

Turning his attention to the Captain, Andy asked if Daisy was being defensive when Glenn criticized her work. “It seems like she can’t take criticism,” Andy commented. “How is she supposed to get better at her job if you’re not allowed to say what’s not working?” Ouch, Andy! That was a little bit mean.

“I can take criticism,” Daisy said, a little defensively.

“Really?” Andy questioned. “You just said that in order to criticize you, we have to give you a compliment first, and then, like, rev up to it.”

“During the season, yes,” Daisy responded.

“Daisy, how did you not hear Gary radioing you about the guest’s injury?” Andy asked, referring to the time a guest accidentally walked into a sliding glass door and injured his head. “Seems like the response time was long.”

“In that moment, I don’t know,” Daisy answered. “Maybe I didn’t have my radio on me, maybe I was ignoring it. I actually think I turned down my radio.” As I recall, she was just sitting in the galley chatting with the other girls and ignoring the guests for about 15 minutes.

Even though Daisy didn’t hear the call on the radio, Glenn reasoned that there still should have been a stew checking on the guests every few minutes. At the very least, “Whoever heard that call, if Daisy didn’t, should have gone to Daisy” and let her know that a guest had been injured. Daisy f*cked up.

Did Colin pile on when Daisy was already upset?

Next Andy brought up the tip meeting early in the season, when Daisy was already feeling frustrated and emotional, and Colin sided with Glenn over the interior’s service issues. “When you watched it back, did you feel that he went as hard at you as you [felt] in the moment? Because you certainly had a big reaction, and you were really upset.”

“I don’t think you should kick a man [when he’s down],” Daisy responded. “It was quite [apparent] to everybody that I was very emotionally affected … I didn’t really understand what it had to do with him, to be honest.”

Turning to Colin, Andy asked, “Do you think Daisy overreacted, Colin?”

“I think she was taking it much too personally,” Colin answered. “My comments weren’t directly aimed at her, because I had just finished talking to Mads and Lucy about it while she was away. But yeah, I think she took it too personally.” Uh oh, Colin and Daisy must not be together anymore, ’cause that wasn’t very understanding of him.

“I was incredibly vulnerable at that moment,” Daisy interjected. “I was tired, I was exhausted, I was feeling a lot of pressure … It just overtook me.” I understand how she was feeling. Normally guys respond to frustration by getting angry. I’m sorry if it sounds sexist, but most women are more prone to cry than to get mad. That’s just the way we react to stress. Whether it’s anger or tears, it’s got to come out somehow.

Would Gary change anything about his behavior this season?

Andy’s next question was for Gary. “Rose from Connecticut said, ‘When the crew is struggling to do dessert, why do you think it’s okay for you to sneak off and have a cigarette, just after Daisy asked for all crew to help with dessert?’ Isn’t that selfish?”

“Um, yeah,” the First Mate admitted. “I guess it was pretty selfish of me … But if eight people can’t set up dessert, and they need me to be there, then fair enough.” So Gary thinks it’s okay for him to sneak off for a smoke, while the captain serves dessert? Does he think he’s above everyone else?

“Gary, let me ask you this,” Andy continued. “Regarding your working with the stews this season … is there anything you would change about your behavior, looking back on the season?”

“Uh, no, I think we all did a pretty good job,” he answered. “I think we helped each other where we could. As much as I can remember … I thought it was a pretty good season.”

“Daisy is laughing at you,” Andy commented.

“Ugh, yeah,” Daisy said. “I’ve kind of learned to accept that it’s never gonna change … Maybe I’m asking too much from the deck crew. Maybe it’s my fault.”

“Finally, Dais!” Gary countered. “Take accountability.” I thought Gary was just being an asshole, but then he admitted that he was “just playing.”

Gary gets grilled

After hearing Gary admit that he’d only watched back one show all season, Andy asked, “So Gary, you did not watch the show back this season?” Isn’t it part of their job to watch the show?

“Andy, to be honest, I haven’t watched any season back,” Gary admitted. “At the end of the day, I lived through it. There’s no point in rewatching what I lived through.” Kind of arrogant, Gary. There’s more to the show than just you. He might have gotten some insights into other people’s lives if he’d watched the show, but then maybe he doesn’t really care about other people.

“Some might argue that you might change for the better or grow by watching your behavior,” Andy observed, “and seeing how other people view you.”

“I think we’ve been given this really unique opportunity and life,” Daisy added, “that no one else has been given, to be able to reflect and grow, and watch ourselves. I don’t think the majority of the world has that opportunity, and we were given [the chance] to be the best version of ourselves. And you just don’t take it.” Well said, Daisy.

“I’m just here for the drama,” Gary snapped back. “That’s all.” Because he’s just that shallow. Please tell me Daisy didn’t pick this empty shell of a man over Colin.

Parsifal III was the troublemaker this season

After admitting that Gary is usually “the one making the most trouble during the charter season,” Andy moved on to all of the problems with Parsifal’s engine. Andy gave kudos to Colin for being the hero of the season and keeping the boat running. “How many times did you think … that the charter season was over because of the engine, Colin?”

“After that first one … I thought it was game over,” Colin confessed. “We couldn’t get parts. The engine was full of salt water.” But Colin was talking to some of the boat’s previous engineers who had just brought the boat to Italy. “It was a struggle, but we got there in the end, for sure.”

“It looked like it was gonna be smooth sailing after you fixed the problem,” Andy continued. “Were you freaking out when it started smoking a few charters later?”

“Again, it was the shaft inside the turbines snapping,” Colin explained. “That’s just a freak accident, and it took a long time to troubleshoot. All we saw was, like, oil dripping out of the turbine. But … we had a few strokes of good luck there … the nature of some of the failures enabled us to carry on. It could have been, for sure, season-ending. For sure.”

Gary barges into the engine room

“Colin, why were you so annoyed when Gary barged into the engine room when there was smoke?” Andy questioned.

“The engine room is my department,” Colin responded. “I’d known about this issue for days. I was monitoring it. I was right there in the control room, and he just came down in a bit of a panic and pushed one of the cameramen out of the way. It was just a little too frantic in my space.”

“No one knows how that engine room runs or what’s going on in there like I do,” Colin added. “That’s my space, and I’m in complete control of it.”

“Fair enough,” Gary conceded. “I’ve worked on this boat for three years. If there’s a fire in the engine room, you’ve gotta find out what’s happening. Sorry, bro.”

“I was watching it,” Colin clapped back. “I had it under control.”

Chef Ileisha is “small but mighty”

Though she started the season struggling to keep up with the guests’ demands, Ileisha managed to pull herself together and earned everyone’s respect – especially Chase’s.

“Ileisha, you may be the most even-keeled yacht chef … in Below Deck history,” Andy told her. “How are you able to handle every challenge while keeping your sh*t together?”

“Watching the show back,” she responded (take that, Gary!), “I’m actually really surprised. Like, I was not okay on the inside. I don’t know how I seemed okay and relaxed on the outside.”

“She nailed it,” Glenn commented.

“Thanks, Glenn,” she smiled.

Chase takes the cake

“Chase, how much were you freaking out,” Andy asked, “when you were eating that cake and you found out that the guests wanted more?”

“All I’ll say,” Chase smirked, “is I’m not the only person who ate that cake. You know what I mean?”

“Daisy, do you regret sharing it with the rest of the crew, when the guests weren’t in bed yet?” Andy asked.

“Yeah, I f*cked up,” Daisy admitted. “Actually, it wasn’t like straight away. It had been a while, but yes, it was my fault.”

“Ileisha, are you still with your same boyfriend?” Andy asked, as Ileisha drew a finger across her throat. “Because I was rooting for you and Chase to get together.” So was Chase.

“No boyfriend,” Ileisha responded. “No Chase and I. Single and ready to mingle.”

“After the show finished filming,” Cheffie continued, “I went home and ended things with my boyfriend. Chase and I just were there for each other, and he supported me through a lot of hard times … He came to Australia, you know, [and] I’ve been to America.”

“The reality of it is Ileisha’s one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met,” Chase interjected. “But we live on the opposite ends of the world … There’s nothing but love there, but we’re just friends to this day.”

The deck crew never seemed to click

“Due to Covid, Gary had to join the season late,” Andy continued. “But once he arrived, his deck team never seemed to click, with tensions running high throughout their time on board. Gary, if you’re watching the show, um, which I know you didn’t, it kind of seemed like you came onto the boat with guns blazing for Chase. Do you feel like you came at him with the same energy that you came at Alex, or what? What was it about him that rubbed you the wrong way?”

“Chase, I’m not gonna say you rubbed me the wrong way,” Gary said, “but I don’t ever think I’ve met someone with quite a strong personality like Chase. To be honest, he’s very full-on, but very good at his job. I think maybe there was a bit of a personality conflict in the beginning, but … we ended up on a high. It’s not how you start with someone, it’s how you end with them. And I think Chase and I ended very well.”

“To jump in on that,” Chase added, “some of my best friends to this day hated me when they met me, so I am an acquired taste, and I don’t blame Gary. And Gary is an acquired taste, too, let me tell ya.”

That may be so, but I’ve lost what little respect I had for Gary this season. He’s a terrible communicator, unable to give his crew clear instructions or training. He’s a dog with women, seeming desperate at times and never takes no for an answer, bordering on harassment. And he’s kind of lazy, always trying to hang out with the captain and goof off, while his crew is working. He’s very immature.

Was Chase cringe-worthy?

“By the way, was there a moment that you saw this season, Chase … that made you cringe?” Andy asked.

“Oh, yeah! All the way through!” Chase laughed. “The jokes that land back in South Carolina with my guy friends maybe don’t land with the ladies in Europe.”

“No!” Lucy agreed.

“They shouldn’t land with anyone,” Daisy said. Making comments about drinking tequila from between a woman’s breasts is just not funny or polite. Also commenting on the size of those same breasts is just rude and crude. Your “guy friends” might find that behavior amusing, but nobody else does.

Does Gary have problems with his management skills?

“Gary, Rebecca T. wants to know your response to Colin saying you needed to just man up when it came to managing Chase,” Andy went on. “Do you think you have a problem with your management skills?” Oh, for sure, he does. Didn’t I just mention that very subject a few paragraphs up?

“Interesting question,” Gary said. “Colin likes to stir the pot, so he’ll do anything he can to try and get involved in the drama. Managing Chase, I promise, I don’t think anyone’s going to find that easy. No offense, Chase. But like I said, we started off on a rocky start but ended well. So obviously it worked out for the best.”

“I don’t know how it’s stirring the pot when I’m saying something to his face,” Colin responded, “When he’s asking me what I think he should do in that situation … I think he needed to man up a little bit. Because he was bitching to me about it instead of talking to Chase, which would have solved the problem a little bit earlier.” Something tells me Colin’s not Gary’s “Sea Doggy Dog” anymore.

Glenn rates the deck team’s performance

“Glenn, what’s your overall take on the deck team’s performance this year?” Andy asked the captain.

“Well, I was quite impressed,” Glenn said. “It wasn’t perfect, but it never is in this industry … I think we had a great season, so yeah … I’m proud of the deck team.

“I want to dig into Alex and Chase’s … work ethics,” Andy continued. “After working with them all season, Gary, what do you think is the biggest difference in how Chase and Alex work?”

“Honestly, I thought Chase gave 150% every day,” Gary answered. “Alex was just quite happy to be there … [But he was just] kind of coming [along for the ride], and I feel Chase had to pick up a lot of slack.”

“Chase does have an incredible work ethic,” Alex chimed in. “I think that’s something we both pride ourselves on. There was a lot of work to be done on essentially a two-man deck team, and we have very different styles … I learned more from Chase this season than pretty much anybody else. He’s knowledgeable, and he works extremely hard. And when I have clear direction and constructive criticism, I think I can match that. But I didn’t receive a ton of that [from Gary].”

Gary’s leadership is questioned

“Gary, why did you lie to Alex regarding Chase being super, super upset about how the boat was in the morning?” Andy continued. I get the feeling Andy doesn’t really like Gary very much either.

“I guess that’s poor management from my point,” Gary admitted. Duh, you think? “It was kind of putting two deck crew members against each other, and I apologize for that.”

“What I will say about Gary,” Chase offered, “is that Gary really does care about the success of the charter season and the guest experience. No one can argue that … But I think one of his shortcomings is that he’s not very collaborative. In the future, I think, you know, you just get the deck team together when we’re both awake, and that’s when you talk about it … instead of doing a one-on-one telephone game, you know?”

Does Gary’s womanizing affect his job performance?

“Mads, Frank J. wants to know if you ever thought that Gary’s romantic entanglements affected his performance as chief officer this season,” Andy asked, eliciting a giggle from Lucy.

“I think that can be said for anyone,” Mads responded. “When you get involved in a relationship, you’re giving energy to something besides your work. It’s why they say, ‘Don’t screw the crew.'”

“Glenn, you love working with Gary,” Andy said, turning his attention back to the captain. “What do you love about him as a chief officer?”

“I like his attitude,” Glenn answered, “and his knowledge. I mean, he knows boats, he knows sailboats, he knows sailing. Maybe this season it didn’t work out with [Mads], but I think he’s a good leader. He has a lot of [good] qualities. I think it would probably benefit him to watch the whole season because I think he’s the kind of guy that will learn from it and come back even stronger.”

Did Gary meet his match with Mads?

“Over the years, Gary has engaged in his fair share of love triangles,” Andy continued. “But this season he may have met his match with Mads, who drove him mad all season, especially when she cozied up to Alex.”

“So, Mads, people seem to think that you’re foolish for falling for Gary,” Andy went on, “but it looked like you were 100% in control of the situation. What do you say to the doubters?”

“To the doubters,” Mads began, “you don’t know me. I am a very detached kind of person, and I like to stay in control of situations, and I personally felt in control of the situation.”

Is Mads the “female Gary?”

“Alicia A. wants to know, ‘How can you say that you were led on by Mads when she was always clear that you two were just having fun?” Andy asked Gary.

“It was strange,” Gary answered, “cause she would come and climb into my bed every night and try and have sex with me. That’s what puzzled my mind, really.”

“Oh, please,” Mads interrupted. “You’re really going to say that?”

“Well, that’s exactly what happened,” Gary insisted, “as far as I remember. I went to bed a few times and you decided to jump into my bed.”

“I’m not even gonna argue,” Mads decided, “’cause he hasn’t watched the season, and to watch the season, like, that’s when you take accountability, so…”

Gary misses the point

“Oh, no, don’t get me wrong,” Gary said, “I was into you, Mads, by all means. I’m not gonna deny that.” The thing he’s missing here is that she wasn’t that into him. If he’d actually watched the season back, maybe he’d understand that.

“I’m not saying you weren’t,” Mads argued. “Just don’t say that I was the one initiating all of it.”

“Gary, it is interesting,” Andy continued, “that you were confused about her intentions, because, I mean, there was a rather savage montage that the editors played of her being very clear, saying, ‘I just want to have fun.’ I mean, frankly, she kind of felt like the female Gary, in a weird way. I mean, she was being very clear.”

“No, I’m not the female Gary,” Mads spoke up, “’cause I’m very direct. I said it straight from the start and throughout the whole time, ‘I am having fun.’ If you didn’t understand that, I’m sorry. I tried.”

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 reunion concludes Tuesday, July 18, at 8/7c on Bravo.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5’s trailer has finally arrived, and with Captain Glenn Shephard’s crew including First Officer Gary King, fans are disappointed in the show’s return . While Below Deck viewers have been impatiently awaiting news about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 for over a year, the trailer has finally been released, and has many concerned about what the season is going to look like. While the trailer reveals the return of some familiar faces, the storylines that appear to be part of the season left viewers feeling uneasy. After Gary’s sexual misconduct allegations, his involvement seems overwhelming.

In the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 trailer, the crew’s chartering guests around Ibiza in a new sailing adventure. With Gary showing up early in the trailer after Daisy Kelliher makes her grand entrance, things get dicey quickly. “That’s right, we have a f****** job and I’m not carrying this f****** season on my own you f****** prick,” Daisy shouts at Gary in one moment of the trailer as he lays in his bed, looking dismayed. The rest of the trailer shows the genuine chaos of the season, featuring Gary heavily much to the surprise of Below Deck viewers .

What Gary’s Involvement In Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Means

He’s part of the show more than ever.

Throughout the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 trailer, it was clear that Gary will be a focal point of the exterior team’s story. Being shown on the deck with some of the exterior team, pushing Deckhands to their limits and critiquing their work, Gary’s presence on the sailing yacht may be odd during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 . While he appears to be getting along with Daisy , he may not even have her in his corner by the end of the charter season. His heavy involvement in the trailer may not indicate the same throughout the whole season.

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.

Although Gary has been a part of Below Deck Sailing Yacht since the early days of the series, seeing him as a member of the crew after his sexual misconduct allegations came to light is tough. While Bravo filmed Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 before the allegations were revealed, they came to light during the filming of the season and it appears that the network didn’t choose to remove Gary from later episodes or take action at all. Though it remains to be seen if production did anything about Gary , it’s disappointing to some to see him on screen.

Our Take On The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Trailer

It could be chaotic fun, but gary leaves a stain on the show.

Although the trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 makes it seem like one of the most exciting, dramatic seasons of the series we’ve ever seen, the mess may not be worth it if Gary’s involved. By ignoring the sexual misconduct allegations lodged against Gary and leaving him on the series, seemingly without explanation, Bravo is allowing it to seem like what he may have done is okay. Though nothing has been proven, taking no action on Below Deck Sailing Yacht could be a misstep that may taint the entire season of the sailing spin-off for once excited viewers.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres Monday, October 7 at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.

Bravo fans have been waiting a very long time for news about Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, and the network has finally delivered.

Not only did Bravo just drop a brand-new trailer for the fifth season of the hotly-anticipated reality TV show, the network also confirmed precisely when Below Deck Sailing Yacht will return.

Until today, fans of Below Deck Sailing Yacht weren't quite sure the spin-off of Below Deck would return for a fifth season, as the last episode of Season 4 aired way back in July 2023.

In late June, one viewer asked Reddit users if Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 was ever going to happen, and even as recently as this summer, fans weren't sure the show was returning.

In that thread, BDSY fans speculated that Season 5 was delayed due to allegations involving First Officer Gary King.

As we previously reported, Season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht featured a wild "love triangle" between Gary, Chief Stewardess Daisy Kelliher , and Chief Engineer Colin MacRae:

"Many things influenced the relationship between Daisy and Colin, but one name was the most prominent: Gary King. "Daisy, Colin, and Gary's entanglement reached a boiling point that got the three in public arguments and name-calling, and at the end, estranged."

A month after Season 4 concluded with a two-part reunion in July 2023, Rolling Stone published an in-depth article , "'Below Deck' Accused of Covering Up Gary King’s Sexual Misconduct," rocking the show's audience.

It reported in part:

"Bravo’s Below Deck was recently lauded for its handling of sexual misconduct when a producer on Below Deck Down Under broke the 'fourth wall' and intervened when one cast member, Luke Jones, tried to get into bed naked with another cast member, Margot Sisson, without her consent while she was inebriated and passed out. Not only was Luke fired from the show, but their fellow cast member and stewardess, Laura Bileskalne, was also let go because of victim-blaming comments she made to Margot about the incident and her own line-crossing pursuit of deckhand Adam Kodra. [...] "Samantha Suarez, who first joined Below Deck in the makeup department on Season 10 of the show, tells Rolling Stone that cast member Gary King tried to force himself on her during production of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season Four, which filmed in Sardinia, Italy, in the summer of 2022."

Fans speculated that Season 5 was delayed due to extensive retooling, but Bravo eventually confirmed the return of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, with a trailer that centers Daisy.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5's Release Date And Trailer

On September 16, Bravo finally released the Below Deck Sailing Yacht trailer.

Bravo shared the clip on Instagram and Twitter/X, to the surprise of fans:

Posts teased the crew's visit to the notoriously riotous destination of Ibiza, and the trailer kicked off with some remarks from Daisy.

Daisy is the first crew member to speak in the trailer, and she addresses the unwieldy love triangle of Season 4:

"Going into this season, I got rid of some dead weight. The breakup did a number on me last year. I felt very broken. "But now, I'm coming back in more focused, full of energy, and I'm f*****g good at my job. And I'm taking back the reins."

Immediately thereafter, the clip cuts to a cabin, where Daisy tells an in-bed Gary that she refuses to "carry this season," before cutting back to newer footage of Daisy laughing and predicting:

This is gonna be a s*** show.

Then the video shifts to Ibiza, where a voiceover describes it as the world's "party capital," and scenes are interspersed with a lot of breaking glass.

Gary (who has not been let go from the franchise) makes an appearance, and the soundbite chosen for the trailer is bizarre given the allegations levied at him last year:

If the guests don't have a good time, we're clearly doing something very wrong.

As the trailer winds down, one of the crew members (likely Deckhand Keith Allen) muses that "Daisy would make a very good wife."

The trailer wraps with an apparent firing, as well as what appears to be a scene during which the crew veers uncomfortable close to another vessel at sea, at night.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 debuts on Bravo on October 7 at 9PM Eastern, and streams on Peacock the following day.
