We don’t watch much reality TV, but I always thought Below Deck would be up our alley if we did watch reality TV. We like boats, beaches, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. Last year we went to Co

Below Deck charter guest Charley Walters revealed that he was told to be demanding on the show, responding affirmatively to a tweet he was told to “to act like a piece of sh*t to the crew.”

All this shit is fake. Just keep that in mind. cough Hannah cough

This. Holy shit guys with fishing boats my size have crews that are ten times more professional than these idiots. Y’all really think owners of mega million dollar yachts would put up with this kind of bullshit?

That stew (Amy) was pretty great too, despite the whole aggy thing.  

Agreed. She was North Texas / South Oklahoma chick. I immediately clicked with her personality (and body). Think I read she just married some rich guy, which is likely the goal of working where they work.

Waiting for Captain Lee to fire everyone and handle the rest of the charters by himself with broken ribs, like a boss. 

 Does Lee ever fire anyone?  He seems like all bark and no bite.

He did say last season was the first season he hadn't fired anyone. 

Remember Chef Leon?

I haven’t seen all the episodes so only working from what I’ve seen so far and he’s not fired anyone especially one female stew that left the boat at night defying his direct orders.

The problem with the bosun and chief stew is that, while they are great at working the deck and interiors respectively, they are terrible leaders.  It's the same problem you see in every business. Great doers are promoted into leadership positions and their skillsets don't mean shit for being a good manager.

Checking out this week's episode. The crew is really awful. I guess the owners of the yacht allow such an unprofessional crew because of TV.

The closest I ever came to being on something like that is when we rented an 87-foot boat for the day while in France. The boat came with two crew and a Captain. They were extremely professional, the opposite of these chuckleheads.

Even if much of it was staged that first guest group was terrible.

That's because the crews are selected to make good TV, not be good at being crew.  A professional crew would have one tenth of the drama and be ten times more proficient at their jobs.  But that would not make for good TV, would it?

The crew is shit, but Capt Lee said during the aftershow that changes were coming fast. I predict 2 new deck hands and 1 new (old familiar) stew.

Bring back Rocky for the lulz. 

"Meet your new deckhand, Eddie. And by the way, there's cameras in the laundry, now."

Terrible episode this week. Captain Lee needs to open up a can on these incompetents. 

Looking forward to see it.  I don’t think you even try to give someone that sleeps on the job a second chance because he’s just a soft snow flake.  This crew has the most lame asses that I have seen so far.

Exactly. But we still have people on this thread thinking this is real.

So one of the kids that ate sushi on the chick plays qb for UNLV. The social justice crew caught him and he had to apologize for eating sushi on a model 

 

If I'm partying (big time) on mom and dad's dime, UNLV would be a pretty damn good place to go.

I looked him up the minute they said his name and said he was QB at UNLV. Surprised it took this long for it to come out.

Oh well, looks like Sunshine is about to be sent packing. Man, he and the second stew are the millennialest of millennials -- though I guess they're probably technically part of the generation that comes after millennials.

"While it was not my idea nor any of my friends [sic] ideas to eat sushi off a model, I should have exercised better judgement and declined the idea immediately when it was brought up by the producers."
