Below Deck addicts ahoy!

[Wrongdissection]

Anyone other than me and a couple of others on the Selling Sunset thread discovered this awesome reality series? The charter clients are insane, the crew is so bitchy (towards each other and the guests) and it’s just the most excellent escapism.

I feel like Ben should be on his own tv show. Like a new Jamie Oliver

About to start season 7. Thanks for the heads up about Kevin.

[Wrongdissection]

@GinWithASplashOfTonic keep an eye out for Tanner’s Mom. She’s obsessed with him impregnating someone 😂

[Wrongdissection]

Season 7 reunion was ace.

[totallyyesno]

Aaargh. Damn this thread. I'm hooked but there are only 2 seasons available. Whyyy?

[Wrongdissection]

You need Hayu in your life @totallyyesno, you can get a months free trial but outside of that it’s only 3.99 if you get it through amazon prime or Now TV I think. 4.99 outside of that. I don’t wish to be an enabler or anything but Rocky in season 3 is quite something 😂

[totallyyesno]

Thanks! Just looked it up though and sadly not available in my country!

[Wrongdissection]

Oh no!!

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Right I'm almost half way through season 7. I started at 10 am this morning... how I've managed to walk a dog as well is quite something. Anyway here are my thoughts which I scribbled on an envelope.

1. bodily functions I don't need to know let alone hear Kevin having the shits. Or Tanner vomiting
   
   
2. Ashton has mellowed although not sure that's the case as much now that Rylee is back. I think he benefited from the fact that Chandler was a shit Bosun. Therefore, he knows not what to do.
   
   
3. The rule of don't screw the crew clearly doesn't apply to this season
   
   
4. I understand Abbi's point r.e the uniform, now she mentions it the amount of changing they do is excessive. And I don't get why Simone has to iron Whites all the time. They literally wear them for 40 minutes per charter.
   
   Now I feel that Abbi wouldn't have left if Sandy was the Captain. Like she realises when people aren't happy and she reaches out to them before they get to the point of leaving. Captain Lee is very hands off in that respect.
   
   I know it's probably because it's at the forefront of everyone's minds right now. But is Simone being treated as the ironing skivvy and the inappropriate advances from clients because she is black.
   
   
5. Courtney is a right annoying moaning minnie.
   
   
6. what's going to happen to the next year of various seasons of the show, due to COVID and travel is more limited?

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

The Kevin / Kate angst I can see both sides of this one. I mean he's ok but he ain't no Ben

[Wrongdissection]

@GinWithASplashOfTonic can’t wait to hear your thoughts at the end. Because I was similar to you at that point in the season. By about episode 15 I’d done an about turn.

[Wrongdissection]

Those who have watched BD Med, were you able to watch S1 E3? It just says it’s unavailable on amazon prime.

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Wrongdirection Yeah I was able to couple of weeks ago! But just checked and now I can't! It's quite an important episode, as it is referred to in other episodes and I think seasons

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Sorry I meant Wrongdissection not wrongdirection

[Wrongdissection]

That’s so strange! I get the gist of it but would be good to see it.

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Basically Danny and and sort of Bobby - Danny eggs him on, brings a bunch of women back to the boat breaking numero uno.
It's the first time you realise Danny is a dick.

Sorry can't remember who the charter was for, where they went or what food Ben served

[Wrongdissection]

It’s the beginning of the kilt bar charter as the next episode starts with Danny hooking up with one of the models at the beach. Danny is a massive knob. That shit with the poem. Capt Lee would have kicked his ass for that.

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Oh god that poem he's like a love sick puppy

[Honeyroar]

I’ve watched most of both med below deck and the normal one while in the States over the last couple of years. I love it! Although the crews aware clearly hired to be volatile in the later series. The chief stews are bonkers!

What’s Hayu? I’ve never heard of that. I’m about to lose my job so won’t be going to the States anymore, need another source!

[FizzyPink]

Has anyone worked out what the time frame is between the 3 series. I’m on season 3 of the med but can’t work out if this is Adam pre or post Jenna

[Peterbishopssarcasticsmile]

I think sailing yacht is after med

[MiddleClassProblem]

Med is pre Jenna. His last series was with Jenna/the most recent series before Med season 5 starting a few weeks ago.

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Who's Jenna?

Ben plugged the first ever med season during the season 3 reunion show.

Then the original version and the med version alternated for a while. Then after season 7 of the original version the yachting version started.

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Oh so Adam was in the 2nd &3rd seasons of the med show then moved over to the yachting version

[MiddleClassProblem]

It goes:
1 (2013)
2 (2014
3 (2015)
Med 1 (2016)
4 (2016)
Med 2 (2017)
5 (2017)
Med 3 (2018)
6 (2018)
Med 4 (2019)
7 (2019)
Sailing 1 (2020)
Med 5 (2020 airing now)
Then 8 is a bit fucked due to lockdown...

[MiddleClassProblem]

Although I should say 8 is still likely to air as they did do a lot of it apparently but it was cut short
