Below Deck - Hayu pace - Yes, Mike you are a HOD, please come to dinner.

[Mumdiva99]

A new thread as the old one is on page 20..... And i'm frustrated that I am getting an app error when I try to watch the after show!! I want to see Ben and Eddy together watching Jenna enter Ben's room..... I'm going to have to search YouTube for clips instead.
And Mike with his HoD sign was just the funniest. I think they are right British sense of humour. I was laughing.

Thanks for the new thread

Just checking in!

I think it’s an over reaction to Mike’s joke but I’d imagine he was fairly relentless with it and we’ve not seen much of it. He is looking for airtime and getting it.

Ben I am wondering how much he is putting stuff on although in concerned that his food isn’t going down well sometimes. He used to be excellent and over cooking fish seems like an error he shouldn’t be making. Maybe that since he was last on it, guests are more food savvy? I was thinking he could be setting up some plots like being late for the meeting and Jason’s response as he has his own income stream away from boats but if his food isn’t getting a bad rep then that would have a knock on effect which he wouldn’t want.

Daisy definitely shouldn't have lost it, night out/off or not, why can't she just sit them down and say right if you don't get on one of you is leaving, I don't care which so you have 24 hours to sort your shit out. And then in the meantime get on the hunt for new crew, we all know there's always someone out there looking for a job and more exposure for the 'gram!

Ben has the attitude that he’s there as a favour to production. I wonder if it was true that the chef backed out last minute and he replaced them as a favour

So, this weeks episode watched earlier and lots to digest.

Mikey fired - he dug his own grave to be fair.
Ellie - becomes an even bigger bitch and if Daisy has her way, she’ll be fired too.
New stew incoming so Daisy has moved crew cabins round, possibly throwing a grenade or two in with them too.
Eddy is yet to realise he’s better off without Jenna
Ben is 45 years old, he needs to grow up (I’d still love to eat his food though)
Joao is a changed man

Good riddance to Mike and his utter shitlid of a hair do!

Why did Ellie and Eddie assume jenna and Joao were getting it on in the tub, nothing of the sort! Just judging people by their own shit standards. Nice to see Ellie is even doing Ben's head in now, I cant see her winning the war with Daisy though!

And all the while Betul is just 🤣

Nooooo poor Mike!!! The only comedian has gone. Who is going to entertain and keep the spirits up now!!
What reality show do you think he'll pop up in next? Love Island? Come Dine with Me? He'd do well in Shipwrecked if that was still going.

It’s rumoured the new stew is Barbie. Oh lord please not. Although makes sense her and Ellie would be friends

Oh gawd… Barbie. Maybe she’s changed?

Mike is really not good looking enough or actually witty enough to be any sort of love interest on a dating show.

I’m also glad Ben is getting bored Ellie. He really can tell her to stop and just work.

Betul is brilliant and sweet.

I am disappointed in the after show that Ben and Kate didn’t talk about him calling Daisy his favourite chief stew. But I did appreciate the extra context of the prawns that Ben was running late.

I don't get why he was fired! For saying he was HOD 😂 They need to find a sense of humour. People have done much worse and not been fired. I feel like it was deliberate to bring in an ally for Ellie. I've not watched the after show yet

Well it was probably more that he was shit at his job and the final straw was saying he wasn’t going to do what Daisy said.

Shall we talk about the prawns? Where was the thousand island dressing? An 80's prawn cocktail should have had prawns in sauce.....that looked like lettuce with 4 prawns hooked over the glass. I'm a big Ben fan until that!!!! I would have sent it back until it was oiled high with prawns in sauce in the middle!!

Barbie hasn't stuck with me....had to go look up who she was.....there is what one charter left? No point in bringing in someone inexperienced, but it could just be for the drama.

I love Betul - best on the boat

US shrimp cocktail is different to uk prawn cocktail. The sauce is more tomatoey if I recall and spicy. And they like the big prawns hanging out but we have a lot more prawns and thousand island.

Just watched the BDM trailer. Did we not just finish BDM? Starts US on 8th so ours on the 9th.
Aesha, obvs but then Nathan and Joe…
Cameo from Hannah and it looks like a lot happens.

I am so pissed that Joe is back, I don't get how the women fall for him!

Judging from the fact he had already done that naked dating on an island show (no, can't remember it's name!) I'd say he'll take whatever comes along.

I saw a pic on social media of him with Joe (see post above..just ugh)and looked like he had shaved all his hair and possibly had some hair transplanting done...which explains that ridic brushed forward hair do.

I’ve just binged all this series in a few days. As a north eastern lass I’m embarrassed that Mike has been our ambassador in the BD universe 🤦🏼‍♀️

He's been very open about his hair. Yes, that's why he spent time on it and yes he's now had the transplant. (That was one of the things I like about him, his openess. And he said if him being open helps some other people talk about it then it's a good thing.)

From last night's show I enjoyed Barbie being there. I thought she was a breath of fresh air! I am interested to see how that goes......

I agree....Last one just finished. She wasn't even PG then now 2 months later there is a baby..... I thought after last series Ayesha was getting married....now they fitted in a whole other season before the wedding.
It does look packed with drama. I'm suprised Joe came back after last season. Still the lure of money and fame must have been too great for him.

I’m not surprised he came back more disappointed he keeps getting a casting call.

Not seen the trailer, who has had a baby? Ayesha?

I really dislike Joe, I hope he has changed but can't see it. Hoping Nathan keeps him in his place
