Below Deck Sailing Yacht Star Alli Dore Confirms Split From Gary King, Explains Real Reason She Ended Boatmance and Admits the ‘Break Up’ Made Her “Sick”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht ‘s Alli Dore is spilling the beans about her relationship with Gary King ahead of the season two finale.

Alli recently confirmed that she and Gary are no longer together. She admits that it was a tough decision for her, but the relationship didn’t feel quite “right” to the third stew.

Of course, this news may not come as a huge surprise to many fans since it has been fairly obvious that the pair didn’t end up together. But Alli seemingly wanted to make it clear, so she discussed their “break up” on the Instagram Live “ Pita Party .”

“Obviously the break up with Gary was the ‘break up,’” she said. “I reference it as the breakup — but we weren’t actually together — but that’s what production kept referencing it as, so it kind of rolls of the tongue now. When we ended our situation, like, we really liked each other. That was something that was not easy for me. I felt sick doing it.”

Dani went on to explain that she had serious conversations with chief stew Daisy Kelliher regarding her relationship with Gary and she felt like she needed to end the romance as quickly as possible. Though she knew her bunkmate Syndey Zaruba had feelings for Gary, once she found out Sydney and Gary actually had sex, she thought it would be flat-out mean to continue her relationship with the first mate. Unfortunately, Gary didn’t take the news so well according to Alli.

“I felt like I had no choice. I couldn’t continue to act on something that I didn’t feel was right ,” she shared. “I didn’t want to be hurting another person, but I didn’t actually expect him to get as upset as he did.”

She added, “That conversation between him and I was cut a little bit short. There was a little bit more to it and he did get quite upset. And that was the hardest thing in the world was having to wake up the next day and work together. I mean, we’re not working in the same department, but I’m seeing him every time he walks past. Normally I was like, ‘this sucks.’ It was so awkward. It was not fun… definitely not fun.”

Despite the fact that Gary was hurt by the “break up,” the preview teases that he and Sydney might give their boatmance another chance as the clip shows Gary seemingly flirting with the deckhand right in front of Alli during a crew dinner.

“I heard from a third party that you have feelings for me,” Gary is seen telling Sydney. She replies, “I told you that I did.” Then, she admits that she’s being a little “vindictive” by flirting with him around Alli.

Fans will have to wait and see how it all turns out, but Andy Cohen recently teased the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season two reunion on Watch What Happens Live , calling it “gangbusters.” Therefore, it’s safe to say the love triangle will likely be discussed in greater detail at the upcoming sit-down.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season two airs Monday nights on Bravo at 9/8c.

Are Gary King and Alli Dore Still Together?

Bravo’s ‘ Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’ follows the staff of a 177′ sailing yacht as cameras capture every instance of their personal and work lives. People and their lives make for compelling reality TV, and ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ does not fall behind with its bountiful offering of drama, fights, and romance between the crew members. The added pressure of living up to their employers’ expectations while navigating everyday life adds to the thrill of the show.

Gary King and Alli Dore were the talk of season 2 as their relationship flourished during their time on the yacht. Although Gary hooked up with Sydney Zaruba previously, he soon became exclusive to Alli when the couple began dating. Season 2 saw the couple weather through numerous ups and downs, which often threatened their relationship. With cameras now turned away from their lives, fans want to know if Alli and Gary are still together. Well, we come bearing answers!

Gary and Alli’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht Journey

Alli Dore was not the first woman that Gary was interested in. Initially, he struck up a friendship with Sydney and got quite close to her. The two appeared to be comfortable and even got intimate on one occasion. However, soon after, Gary called it a one-time affair and refused to acknowledge further feelings towards Sydney. Instead, the First Mate began to pursue Alli Dore, eventually befriending her before going on to date her.

Although Gary often mentioned how he was not looking for something long-term, he still fell for Alli, and the two got together. However, the happiness was short-lived as Sydney soon revealed that she and Gary had hooked up before he dated Alli. Understandably, this revelation did not sit well with Alli, who decided to end the romance between Gary and herself right there.

Even though the couple made up later, their relationship never seemed steady, especially when Gary became flirty with Sydney again and Alli spotted them in a hot tub together. Gary’s behavior led to some of the biggest altercations and fights of the season, and the future looked bleak for the couple. Moreover, the added yet unsubstantiated allegation that Gary already had a girlfriend back home when he slept with Sydney also caused problems for the couple.

Are Gary and Alli Still Together?

No. Gary King and Alli Dore are not together anymore. Although the couple tried to make their relationship work, it just wasn’t meant to be, and the two went their separate ways. Since then, Alli has maintained that what she had with Gary was not a relationship. On an IGTV chat titled ‘Pity Party’ with Daisy Kelliher, Dani Soares, and Paget Berry, Alli said , “But we (Alli and Gary) weren’t actually together ever. That’s what production kept referencing at us, so it rolls off the tongue now.”

Alli further added, “When we ended our situation, we really liked each other. That was not something that was not easy for me. If felt sick doing it.” However, she did mention that Gary was quite hurt after their apparent breakup. Moreover, Alli and Dani Soares also got intimate after Alli grew distant from Gary. At present, it seems like Gary is single as there are no reports linking him to a special someone. Moreover, he prefers to keep his private life under wraps, and his social media shows that he is spending some quality time with his family.

On the other hand, Alli is now in a wonderful relationship with Benny Thompson. Alli and Benny were friends for several years before they decided to get together. Alli also revealed that the two were planning to move in together. Furthermore, in June 2021, Ali shared the fantastic news of her pregnancy with her followers. The ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ star posted an adorable picture of her and Benny as she revealed that she was pregnant.

When it comes to Gary, she mentioned that she was on amicable terms with him but said , “We’re not friends, but we don’t hate each other. A lot of people ask me that actually. They ask me if we speak. We don’t speak, but we don’t hate each other.” So as things stand now, it seems like the chapter of Gary and Alli is closed permanently.

‘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.

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."

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.

All The Flings Gary King Was Involved In On Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Delivering five-star service on a moving vessel where guest expectations exceed reality is not a career for the faint of heart, just ask any seasoned deckhand or stewardess. Add in the added pressure of tight-living spaces, unpredictable weather, and 14-hour workdays — and the stress could make just about anyone crumble. What keeps yachties going are fat tips and spending time in some of the most luxurious places in the world. Another factor is the carefree — and generally attractive — twenty-to-thirty-something crew members that choose to make money aboard a floating hotel. Hookups are bound to happen, even in the smallest of bunk beds, making the charter season more bearable or a downright disaster — depending on how things play out.

 Lucky for us viewers, we get to watch it all go down on Bravo's " Below Deck ." The docu-series follows the ins and outs of yachties aboard some of the chicest motor yachts in the world. The popular series also spanned several spin-offs including " Below Deck Mediterranean ," " Below Deck Down Under ," and "Below Deck Sailing Yacht." From multi-course meals adorned with flakes of gold to elaborate-themed parties where no request is too extreme, "Below Deck" delivers drama year after year. When they're not serving guests, many of these yachties are blowing off steam by hooking up with each other. No one knows it better than "BDSY" alumni Gary King, who has had his fair share of love affairs. We're taking a look at all the flings Gary King was involved in on "Below Deck Sailing Yacht."

Gary King had a thing for Alli Dore

It was a turbulent season for bosun Gary King on Season 2 of "Below Deck Sailing Yacht." The New Zealander dove right into the drama on his debut season, stealing the hearts of not one but two of his coworkers. While he didn't waste any time having a one-night-stand with his co-worker Sydney Zaruba early on in the season, King's affections quickly shifted to Alli Dore. After establishing with Zaruba he didn't want to pursue anything further, his relationship with Dore began to heat up.

The stewardess ultimately found out about King and Zaruba's hookup, however, — and chose to break things off with the bosun. "I felt like I had no choice. I couldn't continue to act on something that I didn't feel was right," she shared on Instagram Live (via  Reality Blurb! ). Despite trying to steer clear (pun intended) of her feelings for King, their relationship picked back up again towards the end of the season. The two of them remained on the yacht after the charter season ended to assist in the boat's crossing. 

"Yeah, Alli and I, actually, that's where we built our relationship up, and we actually, I'd say, became a couple, if I can say that, Alli, for the crossing until we got to Palma," King revealed on the reunion episode. Ultimately distance did not make the heart grow fonder, however, and Dore and King called it quits upon the stewardess returning to Australia. 

His love triangle with Sydney Zaruba imploded

While Gary King may have moved on from Sydney Zaruba early on after their hookup, she didn't take too kindly to their romance fizzling out. Zaruba made digs at Alli Dore throughout the season after King made it known he had feelings for the stewardess. Zaruba opened up about her actions on " Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen " saying, "All I know is things that happened in this season and things that I said were not indicative of who I am, and I'm very upset about the way that I portrayed myself because I was hurting and feeling rejected on national television."

Dore revealed during the reunion episode that Zaruba slept with King knowing that the bosun had a long-term girlfriend at home. King later admitted he was unfaithful to his ex-girlfriend and broke things off, saying, "I couldn't live with myself for knowing what I had done." The messy love triangle between King and the two yachties played out on television, and Zaruba's hurt feelings strained any hope for a friendship with Dore. "You've only cared about how you've looked on TV. You haven't, like, one-on-one, tried to contact me and say, 'I'm so sorry for the things that I said.' You really hurt my feelings. I'm just really emotional about it," Dore revealed on "WWHL." While Zaruba apologized to Dore during the reunion episode, she admitted she hadn't reached out sooner because she was still processing and self-reflecting.

Gary King said Ashley Marti didn't assault him

You can't teach an old dog new tricks, just like you can't expect Gary King not to hook up with his crew members. Season 3 of "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" proved to be just as messy for King as Season 2, as he once again couldn't resist the temptation of the stewardesses onboard. He quickly caught the eye of Ashley Marti, who made her attraction for the bosun known almost immediately. 

Marti and King ultimately spent the night together, but their drunken tryst quickly became the topic of viewer backlash. Fans criticized the stewardess for what they felt was her coercing a heavily intoxicated King into hooking up with her. King shut down the rumors on " Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen ." When asked whether or not he felt assaulted, he responded, "I don't, and I appreciate everyone standing up for me, but I've got a voice of my own and I could use it if I felt I was assaulted."

As per Marti, she skipped out on the reunion episode amidst the controversy. "'I did not have the energy nor the desire to continue to be a puppet for Bravo, in addition to feeling like I would not be able to fully tell my side of the story due to editing," she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post (via  Daily Mail ). She did cash in on her OnlyFans account, however, tweeting , "I love waking up and seeing that in a couple hours, I've made more money than #Bravo paid me for 6 weeks."

Gary King was involved with Gabriela Barragan

Ashley Marti wasn't the only stewardess Gary King had his eye on in Season 3 of "Below Deck Sailing Yacht." Gabriela Barragan had her own flirtation with the bosun while onboard Parsifal III. Marti, who seemingly had more feelings for King than he had for her, was less than thrilled with her two co-workers getting cozy. In one clip, Marti confides in Barragan about her sexual frustrations onboard, when King interrupts the stewardesses' girl chat by flirting. Barragan tells the bosun, "We're all way out of your league," to which he replies, "I know you are, so don't kiss me again." King then goes on to admit that he had kissed all the women onboard, except for one female deckhand. In her confessional, Marti is put off by the situation, admitting, "This whole Gabriela-Gary situation is f***ing frustrating — like I could have f***ed Gary already."

With King in the middle of the stewardesses' love triangle, the shade-throwing between Marti and Barragan got even more tense as the charter season went on. King and Barragan's fleeting romance was ultimately cut short after the stewardess chose to leave mid-charter-season after struggling with her mental health. On " Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen ," Barragan admitted she was shocked to see Marti diss her behind her back when episodes aired. "I honestly did not know how much she hated me until I saw the episodes ... to my face she wasn't so nasty."

Things heated up between Gary King and Scarlett Bentley

When Gabriela Barragan called it quits in Season 3, stewardess Scarlett Bentley joined the Parsifal III crew to save the day. The blonde bombshell was an immediate distraction for Gary King, who had already involved himself with co-workers Ashley Marti and Barragan while onboard. They say the third time's the charm — but as far as stewardesses go — King's attraction for Bentley only caused more drama.

During Season 3 Episode 13, Bentley admits that King's constant flirting leaves her worried about her working relationship with Marti. "He is fun to flirt with. I love it. But there's tension with Ashley and I don't want any drama ... like I feel like I have to keep it good. It's so annoying," Bentley says in her confessional. In the preview clip, King eventually makes his move on Bentley in the most romantic of places — the laundry room. After allegedly looking for his shorts, the two wind up making out. "You know, I don't know what is about Scarlett that I'm attracted to," the bosun says in his confessional, "I mean she's definitely flirting with me, and I'm going to flirt back because I'm quite a flirtatious person." 

Ultimately, their romance burned out as bright as it began, with mounting tensions with Marti being a major factor. Bentley eventually found love off of "Below Deck Sailing Yacht," and lives in San Diego, as of this writing. She frequently posts Instagram snaps with her personal trainer boyfriend, Joey Lennon.

Does Gary King have a thing for Daisy Kelliher?

Ever since Gary King and Daisy Kelliher made their debut in Season 2 of "Below Deck Sailing Yacht," fans have pushed for them to be together. They've maintained a close friendship — that sometimes leads to drunken make-outs — throughout their time together on the series. Kelliher has always downplayed her relationship with King as platonic, even if Parsifal III's Captain Glenn Shephard doesn't agree. "I wasn't surprised at all," Captain Shephard said of their hot tub makeout during the reunion. "There's obviously something going on there."

Season 4 promises to shake things up between the two yachties. After Kelliher hooks up with King's best friend and Chief Engineer Colin Macrae, King is forced to re-evaluate his feelings for the chief stew. "I'd say to a certain extent I was a bit jealous," King told Us Weekly . "Daisy and I, we do have a connection regardless of whether she denies it or not," he added. "And I think anyone in this world will be a bit jealous if they see the person that they've got a connection with hooking up with someone else. I mean, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous."

As for Kelliher, she told Page Six , "Why did he care? He had three years to come and get me, and he never did, so like, f**k off." She went on to admit she felt it was King's hurt ego, and less of his hurt feelings, that caused his reaction to the hookup.

Gary King caught feelings for stewardess Mads Herrera

Is there ever a charter season in which Gary King doesn't find himself attracted to one or more stewardesses? From his track record over the last three seasons, his hookup streak shows no sign of stopping. Season 4 of "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" saw returning cast members as well as new faces, and the chief officer wasted no time getting cozy with the interior department. Stewardess Mads Herrera has been the object of his affection for this charter season — when he's not flirting with his good friend and chief stew Daisy Kelliher.

Herrera and King hooked up shortly after the season began. The news put deckhand Alex Propson in an awkward position, who also was interested in the stewardess. In an Entertainment Tonight preview clip, King interrupts a flirty conversation between Propson and Herrera to define his hookup with the stewardess. "Now that we've hooked up twice, I just want to know what you want out of it?" he asks. "If you want a casual hook-up, by all means, I'm all down for that," he says in the clip. "I'm fine with that," Herrera replies while giggling. The chief officer goes on to jokingly call her out for flirting with other crew members.

Despite King's protests, Herrera has a mind — and flirt — of her own. "I don't want anyone to, like, hinder me," she revealed in her confessional. "I'll flirt with Alex if I want to. Tell me what to do, I'll tell you to f**k off."

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' 's Gary King Says Alli Dore 'Didn't Tell' Him About Her Pregnancy

Alli Dore announced her pregnancy on Instagram on Monday

Writer-Reporter, PEOPLE

Alli Dore is sharing her good news.

In PEOPLE's exclusive sneak peek at part 2 of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion, Dore tells her costars that she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Benny Thompson.

"We are having a baby," she says to cheers and applause. "I'm 20 weeks."

"It's very exciting," she adds. "It's scary but exciting."

But there's one person who is noticeably surprised by the news: her ex Gary King. The first mate says he was not given a heads up about Dore's pregnancy announcement.

"She didn't tell me that at all," he says. "I'm happy for her. She told me when I spoke to her that her boyfriend treats her well and treats her like a princess. At the end of the day, as long as Alli's happy, I'm happy."

"Congratulations Alli, I wish you many happy years together," he adds. "I'm sure your kids will be f----- amazing. They've got a mother like you, of course, they will."

"Thank you," Dore says in response.

Dore and King were linked during their time starring on Below Deck . The two found themselves in a complicated love triangle after King hooked up with deckhand Sydney Zaruba before pursuing Dore.

Though Dore and King ultimately survived the drama as a couple, the two eventually called it quits after getting off the boat.

Dore announced her pregnancy on Instagram on Monday.

Her news comes just weeks after her costar and fellow stewardess Dani Soares welcomed her first child, a baby girl.

• 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’ Boatmances Should Be Banned

The Big Picture

• Boatmances on Below Deck add drama and charm to the series.
• Boatmances can lead to distractions, poor work ethics, and messy love triangles.
• Allowing boatmances increases the risks of harassment, outweighing their rewards.

Since the inception of Below Deck , boatmances have been one of the most beloved parts of the series, but the franchise might be better off without them. Boatmances are often a highly anticipated part of the series because they add an interesting element to the franchise. Yachties grinding for thousand-dollar tips and falling in love make for an unforgettable series. In most cases, the relationships don't work out, with many never even making it off the boat. However, choosing the best relationships and waging bets on how long they'll last is part of the Below Deck franchise charm .

Plus, love triangles and the recent introduction of throuples have added an even more interesting dynamic to the franchise. However, over the years, boatmances have caused more issues than not. Love triangles seeped into work, leading to distracted workers, terrible work ethics, and charter guests caught in the crossfire . While any sort of drama can affect charters, boatmances also pose a bigger risk to the crew members than many seem to consider. Although Below Deck wouldn't be the same without the possibility of boatmances, for the safety and betterment of the crews, it might be necessary to not allow them to occur at all.

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

Boatmances Affect the Below Deck Crew and Their Work Ethic

Boatmances are beyond entertaining. It's like a story about star-crossed lovers, especially when workers from different departments are vying for each other's attention. Watching yatchies fall in love with each other and navigate their relationships while balancing the grueling charter work is a guilty pleasure for sure. However, there's no denying that hooking up and relationships distract the workers — on and off the clock. Stars like Season 7's Courtney Skippon had emotional breakdowns and were distracted by text messages. This caused the Below Deck star to be preoccupied and upset on the clock, making it difficult for her to focus on her work. Additionally, the work ethics of some stars dwindled, as was the case for Season 8's Elizabeth Frankini . Elizabeth was already struggling to maintain the interior standards but it was tougher to meet the requirement after getting caught time and time again with deckhand James Hough, as her selfishness hindered her relationship with Chief Stew Francesca Rubi .

What’s Going On With ‘Below Deck Down Under’s Captain Jason Chambers After Season 2?

The Captain sure has been busy.

Then they took their intimacy to a guest room. They would spend the night in the room, which was a big no-no and resulted in Elizabeth being let go. On the other hand, sometimes boatmances turn into ugly, messy love triangles, as was in the case of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4. Daisy Kelliher found herself attracted to Gary King in a different way than in previous seasons. However, she hooked up with another Saliling Yacht star , Colin Macrae, since Gary was interested in other women. Her bold move upset Gary and caused a rift between the two department heads. To make matters worse, oftentimes guests either overhear arguments or pick up on the vibes of the boat. This happened in Season 7 when the charter guests were convinced that Kate Chastain was annoyed and upset with them because of her attitude. Overall, boatmances are entertaining because they add more drama to the franchise. At the same time, though, with more drama comes more opportunities to make mistakes and cause the rest of the crew to pick up extra slack.

Below Deck Boatmances Increase the Risk for Sexual Harassment

Boatmances can also lead down a dark road, as seen in Down Under Season 2 . Unwanted advances and sexual harassment are already a major concern in the workplace and most workplaces don't have the same environment as Below Deck . In a more common job, workers are not around each other 24 hours a day for weeks on end. They also don't share rooms or go out partying together, ultimately forming a more intimate bond. And yet, sexual misconduct is still an issue. The unique situation of the Below Deck crew opens the doors to the possibility of more harassment. Since crew members are isolated from others, it makes sense that they may turn to each other to satisfy their needs. As a result, the possibility of hooking up is commonly on all the stars’ minds, especially when alcohol comes into the mix. However, this concern turned into a reality in Down Under .

A combination of alcohol and lust would change the series forever, as two stars, Luke Jones and Laura Bileskalne , would be fired for non-consensual physical touching. It was a circumstance no one expected, but happened nonetheless. However, disallowing boatmances would mean crew members wouldn't focus on their attraction to the other co-stars, which in turn would hopefully limit instances of sexual misconduct. Even if it's tempting, their job would be on the line, and they would be forced to consider a relationship after the charter season ends. While living together in close quarters and not having access to a larger community or outside support can make an already messy situation more complicated, disallowing relationships would limit temptations and redirect the focus on the crew. Since the stars are professionals and supposed to be working anyway, limiting temptations will help increase the overall work ethic of the crew as well.

‘Below Deck Down Under’s' Captain Jason Chambers Is Stunned by Support Amid Consent Incident

Captain Jason Chambers took a stance when two crew members behaved inappropriately. He's since been labeled a hero.

The Risks of Below Deck Boatmances Don't Outweigh the Rewards

In the end, all the crew members are adults and free to make their own decisions. Yachting isn't the only career choice in which all genders are close together and relationships are allowed. While it's uncommon, some occupations, like the Navy, have a similar setup. However, it's frequently said throughout the franchise that boatmances have an expiration date and it's usually when the season ends. While couples like Aesha Scott and Jack Stirrup or even Captain Lee Rosbach and his wife Mary Anne Rosbach proved that boatmances can work out in the long run, most relationships don't see the same success. Season 5's Jessica More and Robert Westergard' s relationship in the Below Deck: Mediterranean spin-off didn't last long after the charter.

Neither did the relationship between Mediterranean Season 2 stars Adam Glick and Malia White . In fact, some stars, like Gary, start and end multiple relationships in the same season. Although they are adults and should be free to make their own decisions, the risks don't outweigh the rewards. Considering Below Deck boatmances affect the stars' work and usually end in a disaster, it's not worth losing tip money or causing tension within the departments over a silly fling that barely lasts a month. If the feelings are genuine, then the stars could explore their relationship off the yacht. Forcing them to use their free time to form personal connections would also help ensure they use their time more wisely and create authentic partnerships.

In the end, there's no denying that the juicy details happening within the crew members' quarters are a highly anticipated part of the series. Additionally, watching stars like Kate sneak into Tanner Sterback 's quarters to tease him while also low-key antagonizing stewardess Simone Mashile , certainly makes for great reality TV as it adds even more drama to the high-school-like ambiance. However, simply put, these romances and hook-ups just get in the way . It's already difficult for the crew to find their footing and work together cohesively. Adding romance into the mix only escalates any turmoil between the stars and gives them an opportunity to use hooking up as a manipulation tactic. While the franchise might not be as interesting without love in the mix, it will keep the stars safe and focused on the paycheck, which is a lot more important than hooking up with a deckhand.

Below Deck Down Under is available to stream on Peacock in the U.S.

Will Gary King's Scandal Will Affect His Friendship With Daisy Kelliher On Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

• Will Gary's behavior affect his friendship with Daisy on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5?
• Despite sexual assault allegations, Daisy and Gary are still friends, as seen on social media.
• Recent interactions and posts suggest that Daisy stands by Gary amid the accusations.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 may be on the horizon, but many are wondering if Gary King’s problematic behavior will impact his longtime friendship with Daisy Kelliher on the upcoming seaso n. Gary, who’s been the First Officer on Below Deck Sailing Yacht since its second season, has had a long friendship with Daisy, the Chief Stew aboard Parsifal III. While Gary and Daisy both work beneath Captain Glenn Shephard, the pair have been able to maintain their friendship for years prior to Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 . Even after a tough charter season last year, they stayed close.

Gary, who’s been criticized for sexual assault allegations from a Below Deck franchise makeup artist , has been struggling in his personal and professional relationships for the last year. After the allegations, Gary’s behavior seemed to be predominantly about denying the accusations and clearing his name . Without proof surrounding the accusations, it seemed possible that it there would be minimal fallout after the news came out, but Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers wanted Gary to be held accountable for his behavior. With Bravo choosing to take Gary off the BravoCon lineup and delaying Below Deck Sailing Yacht, things have been tough.

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 & Daisy Recently Met Up

The pair saw each other in australia.

Although Daisy hasn’t spoken up about Gary’s sexual assault allegations , it’s possible that they haven’t impacted her friendship with Gary in the last year. Recently, Daisy posted a series of photos on Instagram that feature Gary out and about at an Australian distillery. With Daisy, Gary, and a few of their friends posing together throughout the post , it appears that the pair have spent some time together after getting off Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5’s charter. Many have been curious if the cast has seen each other off the sailing yacht, and Daisy’s post makes it clear they have.

Gary & Daisy Still Follow Each Other On Social Media

Theyve kept in touch online.

While Daisy may have been posting the photos to honor the announcement that Below Deck Sailing Yacht would be returning in the fall, she also still follows Gary on social media. Daisy’s Instagram, which is typically quite active, is something that she regularly updates for her followers. With her being very active, the fact that Daisy still follows Gary is something she would notice, should she want to distance herself from the longtime First Officer. Instead, Daisy and Gary mutually follow each other and interact with each other’s posts on the photo-sharing app, making it clear they’re still in contact.

Gary & Daisy Are Likely Still Friends

She may not believe the allegations.

Although many Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers were hopeful that Gary’s behavior would have Daisy choosing to distance herself from her longtime friend, it appears that the pair are likely still good friends. With Daisy still following Gary on social media and posting with him in recent photos, it seems clear that she is on Gary’s side when it comes to the accusations . Hopefully, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 will provide some clarity on Gary’s stance on the allegations, potentially even clearing them up or seeing him choose to speak up on what’s happened in the last tumultuous year.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres in the Fall of 2024 on Bravo.

Below Deck Med 's Captain Sandy Confronts Rude Guests Over "Difficult" Behavior—and One Isn't Having it

Below deck mediterranean 's captain sandy yawn was forced to have an awkward conversation with some demeaning guests who were less than kind to the crew during the bravo series' aug. 12 episode..

These demanding Below Deck Mediterranean guests definitely know how to rock the boat.

A disrespectful new group of vacationers made waves with the crew during the Bravo series' Aug. 12 episode.

From complaining about walking up and down stairs to arguing with the staff about cutlery and even asking the interior crew to rearrange the "eye sore" furniture, the rude travelers—led by head charter guest Mahisha —left a bad taste in everyone's mouths. In fact, their behavior went so far, Captain Sandy Yawn was forced to step in a give the group a talking to about their demeaning attitudes.

"I always say this: If you beat character down, you're gonna kill their spirit," Sandy told the guests. "But if you're gracious and you're thankful, you're gonna build them up and they're gonna wanna do more for you."

"I had a client who spent a million euros on a charter, they were so rude to my crew," the Captain continued. "I pulled the primary in and I said, 'I'll cancel your charter tomorrow if you treat my staff like that again.' They turned it around like that, because I called the owner and he goes, 'I don't need to money. End the charter.'"

The reprimanding caused one of the guests, Neysla , to walk away and say under her breath, "I'm, like, over this conversation."

However, Sandy noted how amazing her season nine crew is, adding, "I'm happy to have them."

In a confessional, the Captain explained why she felt the need to intervene after receiving complaints from her crew, namely beloved Chief Stew Aesha Scott .

"How you treat others is really important," she noted. "From what Aesha and the other crew are saying to me, these clients are difficult. Did I get my point across?"

And Sandy's words worked like a charm. Later that day, Aesha even admitted how shocked she was by how polite the group had become.

"All of a sudden, the guests seem to have this base level of decency," the Chief Stew recounted in a confessional. "Maybe they reflected and realized how horrible they were and this is their way of saying their sorry."

And when the charter was over, Mahisha gave the crew a glowing evaluation.

"Thank you guys so much, this was amazing," she said as her party disembarked. "I don't think we had any issues, did we?"

Aesha's reaction? "Were we on the same charter?!" she hilariously remarked in a confessional. "I mean, I'll take it for sure, but this is so confusing."

Keep reading to look back at some more of the wildest guests in Below Deck history. Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

The Bravo franchise has had plenty of dramatic and crazy moments thanks to some unruly and demanding guests, including Georgia , who was a little too flirty with no-nonsense leader Captain Lee Rosbach .

Sometimes, you just want a foam party—at least, that's what this demanding guest asked for. Was it eyebrow-raising to see him drunkenly partying in what ended up being about four inches of foam? Yes. Was it still epic because of how excited he was? Also yes.

Where do we start with Delores ? The season eight Below Deck charter guest made a splash, literally and figuratively, after she drunkenly jumped into the ocean late at night. To make matters worse, this swimming session was in direct defiance to Captain Lee's order to stay on the boat. In a first for his career, Captain Lee ended Delores' charter early and sent her packing.

However, while being escorted away on the tender, Delores jumped into the ocean. Bold move, lady.

Barrie boarded the Parsifal III with his blended family, including his current fiancé and his ex-husband, in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . With such a large guest list, the crew was certainly put to work, especially chef Natasha . Not only did Barrie have no problem sending his breakfast back, but he also refused to have his family served buffet-style.

The first charter of Below Deck season eight was certainly a memorable one. We're, of course, talking about when the charter guests found themselves bickering over deckhand  James Hough . Specifically, charter guest Shay called dibs on the British yachtie. However, her boatmance hopes were derailed when pal Lexi flirtatiously rode a jet ski with James. Thus, a fight broke out over dinner, which shocked the Below Deck crew.

It was ladies night on the high seas in this episode of  Below Deck Mediterranean , but as the drinks flowed, some of the women started to get a little handsy  with deckhand  Jack Stirrup . Thankfully,  Captain Sandy swooped in to save the day.

The crew aboard this ship got a show they didn't ask for when two of the guests hooked up in the crow's nest, a part of the ship that everyone could see on camera.

In the same episode that the crew witnessed the on-deck hookup of two of their guests, they also discovered that their passengers also had never heard of cleaning up after themselves when they stumbled upon a used condom on the nightstand.

For the most part, the charter guest is always right. However, in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , charter guest Erica requested that Captain Glenn Shephard do something to make the ship stop rocking. Unfortunately for Erica, they were in the middle of a thunderstorm and Captain Glenn didn't have the power to control the weather.

Other highlights from this charter group include a woman with hours worth of stories, bullying accusations among the ladies and so much more.

While many guests on  Below Deck have been demanding, this may be the most ridiculous request because of how random it was. On one of the episodes, guests demanded gumballs, but not just any gumballs. They had to be colored gumballs and they even threatened to require they be delivered by helicopter if there were none on board.

Not every guest has found their trip to be a five-star experience, but usually they stick around to give feedback as to why. On this episode of  Below Deck , we learn that a few of the guests straight-up ghosted upon arrival and fled the ship before even saying goodbye to the crew.

‘Below Deck’ Sailing Yacht Shares Chilling Link To Sunken Morgan Stanley Billionaire’s Boat ‘Bayesian’

The plot thickens...

Much has been made of the tragic events that unfolded earlier this week off the Sicilian coast, with the Morgan Stanley international chairman initially missing before being found dead alongside tech founder Mike Lynch. Adding more intrigue to the tale, a strange link between the sunk Bayesian yacht and hit show Below Deck has been uncovered…

The Italian shipyard Perini Navi, which built the PARSIFAL III — the yacht featured in the popular reality show Below Deck that rammed a pier due to an engine malfunction — is also the maker of the Bayesian , which tragically sank on August 19.

PARSIFAL III Misadventure

Below Deck is an American reality TV series that made its debut in 2013 on Bravo TV . The show, to date, is running on season 11, with a new cast of crews on every luxury superyacht during its chartering season. Their challenges while catering to wealthy guests are depicted on the show. The PARSIFAL III , a 177-foot yacht, suffered a big mishap during an episode of the show’s second Sailing Yacht season which first aired on May 17, 2021.

While trying to maneuver in bad weather, the yacht hit a dock because its engine broke down. In an explanation, Yacht’s Captain Glenn Shephard said:

“I was using a different maneuver mode. And there’s a computer in between the throttles and the propeller that adjusts the load on the engine. Maybe my inputs were too much for the computer and it kind of, I don’t know, froze or didn’t react in the right way. I’m not really 100 percent sure. But I was pushing ahead and it was still moving backwards, which is not normal.”

Some of the wreckage was visible floating in the sea after the accident. Luckily, no serious damage was caused in this crash. Launched in 2005, PARSIFAL III can accommodate up to 12 charter guests in a master suite, two double cabins, and two twin cabins. The yacht also has a Jacuzzi and two Open Bic sailboats for guests to play with.

Not So Lucky

The Bayesian , also created by Perini Navi, was not as lucky. Sailing in a sudden and strong squall that created too much wind and conditions for the yacht to handle, the vessel sank after its mast broke in half off the coast of Sicily near the fishing village of Porticello   in the early hours of Monday.

Of the 22 people on board at the time of the tragedy, 15 were rescued, while six others lost their lives, among them being the chairman of Morgan Stanley International, Jonathan Bloomer, and tech tycoon Mike Lynch.

His daughter Hannah Lynch, 18, is still missing, and rescuers are frantically searching for her. Lynch was a British technology entrepreneur who achieved fame through his software company, Autonomy Corporation, which Hewlett-Packard bought for over $11 billion USD in 2011.

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.

“looool Joe is such a clown. A date is up here for him. He prefers to get drunk and score with women whose standards are hindered by liquor.  He’s just gross and weak. #belowdeckmed,” read an X.

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.

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?

Below Deck Med airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo. Seasons 1-9 are streaming on Peacock.
