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

I'm glad I found this thread. I thought I should be ashamed for watching it....good to know there is a support group.

This is on the casting team for continually putting these toxic tail-chasing motherfuckers in positions of authority on boats with girls that have a lot of intimacy-related baggage.  Yeah, it provides a ton of must-see drama, but eventually you get a stone cold predator like this piece of shit and some terrible shit happens with real, long term damage to multiple individuals. 

 

There have been plenty of garbage humans of the female variety doing despicable shit as well, with this psycho Laura being right at the top. But I think the showrunners should be held accountable for specifically choosing creepers knowing that they would try to bang the stews which seems to be the type of drama they are attempting to capture on camera. 

That was disturbing to watch, holy shit.

Completely agree.  Something like this has been a long time coming because the film crew encourages the drunken hookups.

Maybe this incident was the final catalyst for the rumored lawsuit against bravo blaming their pushing of heavy drinking of crews. While I’m glad the producer jumped in and pulled him out of her room their were probably some Bravo execs wishing they had let the rape transpire.

Glad to see Jason get Luke off the boat but wondered what maritime law/Australian law would cover this. I was hoping they would have allowed the crew to beat his ass near to death. While I think their is a lot of manipulation of people and situations by producers for the folks that believe these are 100% scripted I don’t think Luke would agree to expose himself as a likely serial rapist.

The next ep had lots of power and showed the various range of emotions and attitudes about sexual assaults. Margot’s guilt, blaming herself for her drinking and flirting, Aesha’s protectiveness and revealing her victimhood, and the Laura’s indifference, cruelty, and twisted views. It reminds me that 90% of the women in our lives will experience some level of sexual predation in their lives.

We also wondered what would have been the response to this by the other captains. I don’t think any others would have fired both.

I think Lee would have fired Luke and maybe whupped his ass but would have tried to avoid firing Laura to not be shorthanded. He would have dogcussed her and told her keep her hands and her comments to herself while looking for a replacement.

Sandy would have pulled out some stupid team building quotes and given Margot a lecture about her own sobriety. Glenn would have been oblivious.

The reactions of other chief stews is interesting to speculate as well. Aesha went up a notch with us.

I've always liked Aesha. Always struck me as a grown up little kid when she get excited. But she went full Mother hen mode and impressed the shit out of me. Broke my heart when she told what happened to her. Hope the guy that attacked her got what he deserved.

I seem to remember her revealing that episode in another season.

Chef pissed at Joao for screwing her friend over. Less than 24 hours later trying to bang Joao.

I don't think that tops the stew who almost got assaulted going on a date 2 days later.

Neither tops the show having 2 episodes with pornstars following 2 episodes of sexual abuse.

After 5 long years of prep, Colin and the crew of Parlay Revival are finally beginning their Pacific crossing. Well, actually they’ve already done it but his YouTube travelogue is just now airing it. Starts with next week’s episode. 

Does he sexually assault anyone? If so, Bravo might want to turn it into a series.
