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.

Gael had a baby. At the end of last series they showed her, Nathan and the Baby. (We knew before the series that it had happened irl).
Just like we know before this series that her and Nathan have now split up - but we are going to see them in this series before that happens.

I didn't know they'd split up!

I didn't know they'd split up either - bit of a spoiler there

Shame as I really liked them together

If you guys don't know maybe I have read some fake news and speculation. There is lots of nonsense out there.

There's a ton of fake BD stuff out there, quite bizarre! So I'm hoping the Gael/Nathan stuff is also fake.

I don’t think they have said anything themselves. He’s not been on her socials recently but could be because he’s away or because they have split. But I don’t think they have made any announcements but also feel why should they?

Looking on Google nothing suggests they have split up. Just seems to be on those Facebook stories which mostly are fake when about others

Fully supportive of Jenna's demotion, although Eddy's self pity is wearing thin - especially as he did the same thing to Alesia as lovely Betul pointed out!

Daisy and Joao's fauxmance is doing nothing for me.

Is anyone else watching the after show? Love seeing Kate and Ben reunited!

New username as I can’t seem to log in with my previous one.

Jenna’s drunken antics were awful and then to go to Ben in the guest cabin, talking of which, how gross did those mattresses look? Eddy telling Ben he’s a massive prick was funny but yeah, Eddy did the same to Alesia early in the season so karma right?

Ben with the fish at dinner, he absolutely should have filleted it before sending it up. Does he really think that the stews only serve food and don’t refresh drinks, fetch anything else the guests require? I can’t believe Ben is championing Ellie in the next episode for her to be sous chef, her hair needs to be tied up in a bun or a hairnet rather than hanging down and getting in the food, she’s a nasty piece of work and clearly has an agenda against Daisy and Joao because he rejected her. Get over it!!

Jenna is a terrible drunk, she slurs very badly & probably needs to have a bit of a look at the amount she drinks

Jenna slurs when she is sober, I'm starting to wonder if it's her lips or her teeth or something?

Ben trying to get Ellie a promotion is hilarious, she has no formal training mate, you give her that title she'll be going to a new job over her head and it will be your fault. Also agree with above comment about tie that fucking hair back princess - I mean surely it's hot as hell in that galley!

I did think with a 24hr turnaround perhaps the crew might have benefitted from a dry night but clearly I'm too sensible! Why would Alesia think she should get 2nd stew now - no-one should get it straight after Jenna was demoted that would be bonkers. Ben was an utter wanker for going to the made up cabin, he knew exactly what he was doing, but also stupid for Joao to get involved - sort it in the morning, send Jason in. They're going to have to remake it anyway because he's had his greasy head on it!

Note we didn't get a 'next time' on this ep but from the pref sheet talk oh look here we go, a primary who almost got kicked off last time and the idiot production are letting him back hoping for the drama.

I don’t think Daisy or Ben came across great but I think Daisy was over taking the high road at this point.

Ellie is just so irritating.

And coming into it with the fish still going, even if Daisy could do it she wouldn’t be able to do all of them table side. Sure in a restaurant they don’t table side but not for a table of 8 and one waiter.

Having said that, I get fish on the bone quite a bit and done really have an issue with it doing it myself even if it’s not neat or professional and just as I go.

Re the filleting of fish, surely Ben has been around long enough to know that during dinner service, the stews have to do cabins, refresh drinks, get anything else that the guests want so how he expects one stew to fillet 8 fish by themself is beyond me.

I really like Daisy but if someone who was clearly not entirely sober was confrontational like that, about work during a night out, I would refuse to discuss it and would be one saved for the morning. That said, Ben was a complete dick when he went to sleep in the guest cabin. Trouble is, he’s been sleeping in one off charter. and it appears he wasn’t told he couldn’t so he expected to be able to continue doing it, maybe the difference this time the beds were already made for the new guests and on previous occasions they weren’t. Still a dick move though.

I hope neither Ellie or Alesia get promoted, they haven’t earned it.

Alesia is lucky to have ANY job on that boat. She is beyond delusional to think she should be considered for second stew!

Personally I hate fish on the bone and it's the last thing I'd expect to be served on a superyacht (too much hard work). However, Daisy has been arrogant and horrible all season. I am tired of her storming around ranting about how shit everyone else is and how they're not working hard enough etc. She is no Kate Chastain! Having a go at Ben on a team night out was completely unprofessional and inappropriate, and triggered the cabin situation.

Is there a link to the previous thread please?

I think Daisy is completely in the right! Ben and Ellie have been goading her all season and she’s reacting now, I’d be fed up as well

So, it was the season finale today, very picky guests who had been on a previous episode, last season I think with Jason. They requested a seafood extravaganza for lunch on their first day then the co primary changed his mind halfway through lunch and requested a burger 🙄. Quite a bit of their charter was whizzed through I guess to show the drama that continued from last weeks episode and how it all finished up. Good to see Ben took some ownership of his part in it all and that he apologised to the stews and Joao and that they were all friends in the end.

New season of Below Deck Med starts next week, I believe set in Croatia with Captain Sandy, Aesha, Nathan and Joe back. I really don’t like Joe so I’m not best pleased that he’s back.

Ok so I am absolutely with Daisy - that Bagel should have been run up by Ellie. Why wouldn't you - even if was shouting at the TV... get it to the primary now!

Bit of a damp squib of a finale. After show Jason agreed with Daisy over the bagel. Didn’t get much else from that ep lol.

Dreading the return of Joe.

Joe can be fun. But not when he's fighting with Nathan. (Maybe he won't last long?)

Him fighting with Nathan is not the issue. He is incredibly misogynistic and tries to cover it with the mummy’s boy schtick.I find him really disingenuous and very hard to watch.

Why didn't Ellie ask if anyone could hear her on the radio? I'm wondering if we didn't see much of the guests because they were boring AF this time round. But...THE TIP!! OMG!

Did anyone watch episode 1 of Below Deck Med today?

It seems Joe and Nathan haven’t spoken since the end of the last charter they were on together so it’s all a bit tense.
Aesha, on the surface seems to have a good set of stews, and she has 3 but there’s already signs of competitive behaviour between two of them (sorry,I can’t remember their names yet), with one walking around muttering the word ‘bitch’ which is clearly directed at another stew.

As for the guests, co primaries who I think are a married couple, who own some sort of girly bar in LA (I’m not exactly sure if that’s where) and they’ve brought on several of the girls on. For dinner on their first night, they wear dresses with their bums exposed, I do hope some sort of covering was placed on each dining chair 😳.

It looks like it’s going to be a pretty explosive season.
