Below Deck has been a beloved Bravo series since 2013 . Like many other series on the network, spin-offs were necessary. Say hello to Below Deck Down Under . The series took the skeleton of the flagship series and brought it to the beautiful locale of the Great Barrier Reef. For some series, the first season can have some growing pains. Not Below Deck Down Under ! Season 1 was one of the best yet.

Below Deck Down Under is the third spin-off in the Below Deck Cinematic Universe. Following the lives of the yachties working on a stunning mega yacht in Australia, the series took the best of the original series and made it even better. With a stunning backdrop, the first season of Below Deck Down Under set the tone for the series forever.

Below Deck Down Under

Not available

10 "The Plunger from Down Under"

The third episode of the season was one that truly set up many of the storylines of the first season. Benny Crawley had a roller-coaster journey while aboard the motoryacht Thalassa. Like many new crews, the first charter often has some bumps in the road, and there are some learning curves as you're working as a new team. For the deckhand, he and Boson Jamie Sayed started their rocky road off with some tension. Jamie is a very militant leader and Benny is much more lackadaisical. Of course, there would be some personality clashing. Benny needs positive reinforcement and Jamie is not going to be the one to provide that; and by the end of the episode, Benny is ready to quit after feeling picked on. Speaking of learning curves in working conditions, it's only charter two and the super sweet Chief Stew Aesha Scott is continuing to be tested by Chef Ryan McKeown . If the guests aren't ready to eat, don't put out the feed! Time for one of Chef Ryan's signature temper tantrums.

Now to the fun and games. After a crew night out, Jamie and 3rd Stew Magda Ziomek get a little hot and heavy in the hot tub. But spoiler, Magda isn't really available. She's off the market as 2nd Stew Tumi Mhlongo reveals she has a boyfriend in Poland. Oops! Well, leave it to Jamie, who is going to clash with Tumi and deckhand Brittini Burton , who are available, as he's ticked off that the only girl he's attracted to isn't available. It's going to be a long charter season for Jamie! After trashing the yacht, the crew only has a few hours to clean up and Captain Jason Chambers is none too pleased. But leave it to Magda to begin her arc of not caring as she engages in a yoga session among the trash.

9 "Squid Games"

For the most part, the crew stuck to their archetypes. When it came to Benny Crawley , he felt like the leftout deckhand and Chef Ryan McKeown was the official villain of Thalassa. But the two were able to find a common bond over the loss of their parents, showing a new vulnerable side of both men. Through tragedy and trauma, an unlikely friendship is formed. This chat was a precursor to the crew night out. The crew just can't have a peaceful and fun night out, but leave it to some unruly patrons at the club to cause a commotion. Chef Ryan comes to the rescue, even if it means he made a scene in the process. To be fair, he was called a loser and that bottle just so happened to fly through the air. Feeling like he's the stand-up guy who came to the rescue of the women onboard, when he doesn't receive the parade and fanfare, he begins to pout.

It's time for Magda watch! Viewers were keeping a closer eye on Magda Ziomek and her constant contact with her boyfriend back home. Having spent hours talking to him the night before, Magda was not only unprepared for the day, again, she was exhausted. So a little nap leads to a five-hour sleep. Already having the ire of Chef Ryan, Chief Stew Aesha Scott now has Magda on her bad side. Aesha is forced to punish her by keeping her on service, meaning no phone for you! But when it's time to go back to laundry, Magnda makes a massive blunder by washing a dry-clean only cashmere.

This is a very special charter for Captain Jason Chambers , as the charter guest is an old friend gearing up for a bachelor party. With all eyes on perfection, the crew is put to the test, but the festivities allow for the crew to let loose a bit. Well almost everyone. Aesha and Chef Ryan are still not seeing eye to eye. And Captain Jason sees that Chef Ryan is not up to snuff either. Sadly, he's stuck with him as there's no backup available. To make matters even worse, Captain Jason takes the guests out fishing where they want to eat their catch. Only Chef Ryan wants nothing to do with that. Even stepping up his game, his refusal to cater to the guests continued to strain his placement on board. Bonding over their distaste for Chef Ryan really brought Aesha and Captain Jason together.

8 "Unchained and Untamed"

The second episode of the season watched the crew find their sea legs with the first charter guests aboard motoryacht Thalassa. The TikTok-loving millennials are pretty easy charter guests, but when morning comes, Chef Ryan McKeown 's true colors begin to shine through. There are very few chefs who love preparing breakfast on a motoryacht, but Chef Ryan made his stance known. There is one thing on the menu and one thing only: Eggs Benny. No other options. Unfortunately, this puts Chief Stew Aesha Scott in a predicament. And she's only learning that this is the beginning of Chef Ryan's reign of terror. He'll continue his petulant attitude when he plates a lunch for a crew who is not ready to eat quite yet. Bad move Chef! Even worse move? Telling fan-favorite Aesha Scott how to do her job. While it is the viewers' first chance to see her in the management position, she is exceptional at her job.

This episode gives more of an insight into 2nd Stew Tumi Mhlongo , who would eventually go on to become Chief Stew on Below Deck Mediterranean . Known for her impeccable tablescapes, Tumi begins to shine as the star on Aesha's interior team. To be fair, it's easy to shine when your other team member is Magda Ziomek . As a major set up episode, Captain Jason Chambers earns the moniker of "Captain Cutie" as well as revealing his past in the infamous 2019 dock crash. As tradition on Below Deck , it's time for a tip meeting! And they did decent. To add his own tradition into the show, Captain Jason reveals that after each charter, he will "award" the crew member who needs the most improvement with a hilariously tacky disco ball helmet. And the award goes to... Benny Crawley ! He's bestowed this honor thanks to his freak-out during docking.

7 "Benny and the Jet Skis"

It's nearing the last straw for Chief Stew Aesha Scott over Chef Ryan McKeown and 2nd Stew Magda Ziomek . Between Chef Ryan's terrible attitude and Magda talking smack about Aesha, she was brought to tears. Having her first season as Chief Stew, Aesha is trying her best to prove her worth , but these obstacles are making it difficult. As Chef Ryan learns that it has been Tumi Mhlongo sharing "gossip" about him to Aesha, he goes on a tirade against her. Guilty much? When it comes to Magda, Aesha really wants to make it work. They have a chat where Magda admits to her words, but won't take responsibility.

Captain Jason Chamber 's biggest pet peeve is a messy ship. And what does his crew do? Leave a messy ship. So, it was time for an impromptu all-crew meeting to set them in their place. Especially when he finds bags of garbage filled with "maggots and lobster juice." With no one fessing up for not taking out the trash, Boson Jamie Sayed learns as the leader, you have to take one for the team. Even if it was Culver Bradbury 's massive oversight. Meanwhile, the tension between Jamie and Benny Crawley continues to rise. Perhaps the tension he's felt is being projected onto Benny. These two are simply not meant to get along.

6 "Nice Girls Finish Last"

Chef Ryan McKeown and Magda Ziomek out. Chef Nate Post and Taylor Dennison in. Following the firings of the problematic chef and stew, there is new blood aboard Thalassa. Yet again, trying to mesh with the new chef is a problem for Chief Stew Aesha Scott . Their inability to get on the same page causes some immediate problems for the food service. Even if the dinner service isn't going well, Benny Crawley has arrived to save the day. It's the reawakening of his alter ego, DJ Lazy Susan. But he's no match for the resident chief entertainment officer, Culver Bradbury . The two will have a morning tiff when Culver, who takes a break before Benny, who started working before him. This moment will allow for Boson Jamie Sayed to finally side with Benny over Culver for once. Jamie warns Culver he could receive the same fate as Chef Ryan and Magda, but truly, can Thalassa handle another firing before the charter season's over? Things aren't going to help his cause as the primary will share her social media with the CEO.

As far as new stew Taylor goes, she begins to bond with deckhand Brittini Burton , until Brittini learns that she might have a little crush on her man, Culver Bradbury. That's certainly not going to fly! Despite revealing that she may have a thing for Jamie Sayed as well, she reveals that she's no stranger to hooking up with multule crew members in a single charter season. Anyway, the two will have a moment to bond the next charter night as they watch the primary in the hot tub topless...with her brother. Not uncomfortable at all. So, remember how Brittini had a thing for Culver, and she was worried about the new stew Taylor? Really, her competition was the primary charter guest , who Culver just so happened to invite out to the club. That was a bad move on the CEO's part, and Culver truly did deserve that disco helmet this episode.

5 "The Pirate's Booty"

As the crew gets settled under Captain Jason Chambers , he starts to assert his authority aboard Thalassa. Some may consider it an overreach , but It's nothing compared to Captain Sandy Yawn over on Below Deck Mediterranean . This episode is pretty iconic as deckhand Culver Bradbury establishes himself as the unofficial chief entertainment officer. And after watching Culver, who wouldn't want him to be a part of your charter? Chef Ryan McKeown, meanwhile, establishes himself as the official "dgaf" officer. Following a meager breakfast and a botched beachside lunch, Chef Ryan ruffles Chief Stew Aesha Scott 's feathers. Despite his attitude, the rest of the crew is able to make up for his mistakes with a wacky tacky pirate-themed dinner.

The entire crew gets in costume to truly give the guests the full experience. Leave it to CEO Culver Bradbury to truly embody the pirate life. His ability to go all out provides top-tier enjoyment that sets the bar for the rest of his journey this charter season. Unfortunately, Culver's dip in the hot tub with the guests crosses the line of fraternizing with the guests. As much fun as everyone had on the final night, the deck crew flounders in the morning as they are unprepared for docking. Thanks to Captain Jason's desire for perfection, the deck team gets a lashing away from the rest of the crew to put his foot down. Will they heed his advice the rest of the charter season? Mostly!

4 "The Tipping Point"

If you couldn't tell, the theme of Below Deck Down Under is all about Chef Ryan McKeown and Chief Stew Aesha Scott butting heads. After doing his own thing, Aesha tried to get him back on course. It doesn't work. So who has to go have a word with the chef? The primary. If the primary comes into the galley, expect a hangry lashing. But he's still completely unphased. What will phase him is his complete disregard for the charter guests' wishes. One guest doesn't eat any fish, which is the entirety of the meal. Another guest wants eggs. Knowing his distaste for making breakfast, surely you know how that ended. Due to Chef Ryan's misfire at dinner, 3rd stew Magda Ziomek is ready to save the night by performing as the ghost of Marilyn Monroe . It was completely uncomfortable. But shockingly, it secured a bigger tip! When it comes to the nautical-themed dinner, Chef Ryan does the bare minimum and almost gets away with it. Until he gets annoyed when one of the lobsters is sent back as the guest doesn't want to tear the crustacean apart themselves.

There is a lot to do as Chief Stew, and one thing that Aesha didn't have on her resume was a barista. When she tries to show the charter guest her process of making the almond milk latte, he is mortified. But because Aehsa is exceptional at her job, she gets a frother onboard. Meanwhile, on deck, it's a race to the yacht as Benny Crawley , on the smaller tender, and Boson Jamie Sayed , on the larger tender, nearly crash the tenders. A major no-no. Captain Jason Chambers places the blame on Jamie , which adds to the already rising animosity against Benny.

The reason this episode ranks so high is that the infamous back-and-forth between Chef Ryan and Aesha in the galley. Finally getting to the point where she's found confidence to speak to Ryan about his lack of care, Aesha will ask how many yachts Chef Ryan has worked on. His retort, "I don't know, how many vaccums have you pushed, how many f--king frying pans did you flip? You stick to vacuums, I'll stick to cooking." The tension is rising, and it's never going to simmer. Oh, and the charter guests decided to give some of the crew a personal tip. With deckhand Brittini Burton and 2nd Stew Tumi Mhlongo being left out, it causes some raw emotions to arise. Thankfully, Captain Jason and the crew rally and pool their tips as they are a team.

3 "New Kids on the Block"

At the end of episode 13, Captain Jason Chambers was eager to get Thalassa back to normal. With immense turmoil all over the ship, changes had to be made. The first major change was to fire Magda Ziomek . After her poor attitude, usage of the cellular service, and constant bickering with her boyfriend, it was the end of the line for Chief Stew Aesha Scott . The next change was the fate of Chef Ryan McKeown . With the cliffhanging leading to whether Captain Jason would fire him, the chef got the chop. And to say that he didn't take it well is an understatement. He did not leave on a high, calling Captain Jason an assortment of names on his way out. The hilarity of the situation might have been watching Magda shockingly react to his firing. Perhaps they both had a few too many sips of delusion-aide.

With two positions needing to be filled, thankfully, Captain Jason was able to bring in Chef Nate Post and 3rd stew Taylor Dennison . When it comes to Chef Nate, he was left a mess. Literally. With a disaster in the galley, he had little time to get acclimated with his new crew. Oh, and with the dishwasher down, not a great time to come onboard! With so much trouble below deck, the exterior team continues to have their own set of problems. Boson Jamie Sayed is still unsatisfied with Benny Crawley . And then it moves over to Brittini Burton, who he gives the silent treatment to. All because of the "B" word. Perhaps this team is not the best to work under his working style.

2 "Drink While No One's Watching"

It's the end of the first season of Below Deck Down Under , and it certainly goes out on a high. Between the beautiful vow renewal ceremony and Culver Bradbury 's near blackout night on charter, the season finale was certainly eventful. Despite the drama during the season, the final crew ended up having a strong dynamic. Many of the season's starts had some strong story arcs that proved that individuals can grow. Like Benny Crawley , who took on the title of Zen Ben. His turnaround from start to finish was one of the best of the season. For 2nd Stew Tumi Mhlongo , Chief Stew Aesha Scott shared that she was so much more than a second. She knew! Tumi would go on to be a Chief Stew for the franchise in the Med! Captain Jason Chambers, telling Brittini Burton, the next female captain, was one of the most touching compliments he gave to the crew.

Captain Jason wasn't too sure of Jamie Sayed and Culver Bradbury's future in yachting, though Culver would come to the rescue for season 2. The season proved that this franchise had legs. While there's always some hold over season after season, the first season truly made stars out of Captain Jason Chambers and Chief Stew Aesha Scott. Thankfully, they would return together for Season 2. Their bond is easily the best friendship in all of Below Deck .

1 "G'Day Mate!"

Below Deck Down Under had some big shoes to fill when it became the new kid on the Below Deck dock. Viewers were greeted with a familiar face: Chief Stew Aesha Scott from Below Deck Mediterranean . At the helm was the new stud of the sea, Captain Jason Chambers . The two Australian yachties instantly became the stars of the series. The megayacht that viewers would be watching this season was Thalassa , a stunning 50-meter white boat. As tradition, the season welcomed a brand-new crew. On deck were Boson Jamie Sayed, joined by deckhand Culver Bradbury, Brittini Burton , and Benny Crawley . In the galley was Chef Ryan McKeown . And the interior was led by Chief Stew Aesha Scott with 2nd Stew Tumi Mhlongo and 3rd Stew Magda Ziomek .

Captain Jason revealed that, unlike Captain Lee Rosbach , he's going to make things a little more fun and light-hearted. He wants his crew to have fun when the guests are not on board. When the crew meets with their respective teams and coworkers, tension already arises between Chef Ryan and Aesha. We should have seen the outcome from day one! She wasn't going to be besties with Cheffy, but she was more than willing to try with her interior team. Then the first charter of the season was an American expat with a group of young millennials who happened to be foodies. But this season couldn't start out without a disaster. The hydraulics began smoking. But nothing compares to Captain Jason's pre-show crash. Even with a stuck yacht, here comes Aesha to the rescue to entertain! When night strikes, Captain Jason alerts the team that low tide could destroy their season if the boat doesn't leave the dock. Will they make it? The answer is revealed on episode 2, but if you made it this far, you know the result!

Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: Goldilocks Joe

Below deck mediterranean.

Was anyone else shocked to realize there’s only one charter (and two more episodes) left in this season? This week was more of the same squabbles, so I don’t have much hope for anything exciting to come. Sandy’s proposal to her girlfriend Leah has been brought up so many times it feels like the big prom at the end of a high school movie. Hopefully, Sandy gets a nice private moment, and it doesn’t become an all-crew event milked for the last drops of drama at the end of a dry season.

But we’re not at a finale yet. This episode starts with Aesha sitting down for a meal for the first time all season, thanks to Carrie’s capability to cover the bar. The new stew also quickly steams the guests’ clothes for dinner; I’m so impressed by someone merely doing their job well and fast that it puts into perspective how low the bar has been for Ellie and Bri. Ellie remains on her power trip as she instructs Carrie and Bri on where to put up birthday decorations. She’s coming off as the person in a group project who appoints themself the leader so they can tell everyone else what to do and not have to do as much work themselves.

Hard at work in an attempt to redeem himself is Jono, whose stuffed tomatoes look great. The guests love them and the lamb entree. Compared to other chefs in the franchise, Jono still ranks at the bottom in cooking skills consistency, but it’s worth noting that he ranks high in getting along with the interior so well and having food ready on time. I wouldn’t go to his restaurant, but I’d happily go to a restaurant with him.

Who would I not go to a restaurant with? Joe. Gael tries to clear the air between them, and he apologizes, agreeing not to call her a princess again. Joe then tells Nathan that he thinks Gael hates him and asks his buddy to sort it out. Nathan’s never had a friend and girlfriend who didn’t like each other, so he’s not sure what to do. Joe has made similar comments about Bri and Ellie hating him, never seeming bothered by it. I’m sick of him not digging even a millimeter into why his female coworkers might dislike him. He’s too busy repeating the pattern with Carrie: he teases her by closing the laundry room door and running away while she’s working inside. The man has the flirting maturity of a ding-dong ditch.

After dinner, Aesha puts Carrie on drinks while Ellie cleans the table. Ellie asks Carrie for help, but Aesha overrides her. When Carrie returns to get more drinks, Ellie asks if she’d mind doing dishes so Ellie can do service instead. Why do you care, Ellie?! These married Ohioans aren’t going to be your sugar daddy. Ellie delusionally thought she was carrying the team and thinks Carrie is now taking the spotlight from her. The next day, that spotlight is serving lunch. She should be grateful to get a break. Maybe she doesn’t want to stop working because that would mean too much free time for self-reflection. Carrie tells Aesha how Ellie likes to do everything by herself and insists she doesn’t want to cause any issues, but their tone is gossipy, so I don’t fully buy that. Please cause issues, Carrie!

The guests requested watersports games and a relay race, for which the deck team picked up more inflatables. Joe comes up with an obstacle course/swimming relay with the guests, something that was definitely Iain’s job to prepare ahead of time. We’ve seen so little of Iain lately he’s practically a non-cast member engineer. I almost respect the guy for collecting his paycheck and giving us absolutely nothing.

The Mustique returns to the port for the night because of high winds. I support this decision because I now know what a waterspout is and am terrified of it. Docking in the dark goes smoothly while the guests eat dinner. They do synchronized service, well, semi-synchronized because they place down half the plates at once, then the next half. Call me when you can put down all eight plates at once. Aesha’s happy, though; she feels like things are finally up to her high standards now that they have a fourth stew. The color beads system to identify crew laundry seems to be working for Bri, who explains that she used color in her notes for studying at school too. Overall, it’s a successful charter.  They receive a $20,000 tip, and perhaps more importantly, Sandy has only positive feedback for the crew.

A major negative in my book is that Ellie gets sucked back into Joe’s orbit. Apparently, she’s forgotten about all those NFL players in her DMs. As she and Carrie clean the cabins, she fills the newbie in on Joe’s past make-outs and how he led them on. However, Ellie says it’s hard to be mad at him because he’s a sweetie, and she does care about him. I think the caring about him line is her trying to tell Carrie she’s still interested, but she’s too opaque. (Kind of like her self-tanner, which accidentally gets on Carrie’s clothes when they bump into each other getting ready for a night out.) Carrie may be easygoing because she knows their time together will be short, but the two are like a pair of betta fish in the same tank. Carrie knows not to fight directly with Ellie and reports her behavior to Aesha instead. She tells the chief stew about Ellie telling her to do less work, and Aesha says she’ll tell Ellie only to give Carrie assignments when Aesha is on break. Sadly, we don’t get to see this yet, but I look forward to Ellie’s reaction.

After dinner, Jono and Iain go back to the boat while everyone else dances. The lack of a unified dress code is hilarious. Bri’s t-shirt and jeans are fully casual, while Ellie’s bedazzled dress is dressy cocktail circus attire. It’s not loud enough to draw Joe’s attention. She tries to rekindle things by reminding him that this club is where they made out, but he’s focused on Carrie. Joe talks about her like he’s Goldilocks: he says Ellie was too stuck up, Bri was too sensitive, and Carrie seems just right. His sweater is too hot, and I guess going shirtless would be too cold, so he buys a shirt from a random man. I have a lot of questions about this, but the relevant plot point is that he doesn’t return to Ellie, who he was dancing with, and beelines to Carrie. In an interview, an insulted Ellie says, “No man in his right mind would turn down an incredible night with me.” I let out an involuntary groan. Bri tries to give Ellie a pep talk outside, but Ellie’s ready to be done with the season and go home. Carrie tells Joe she’s heard about him hooking up with the other girls, and he writes them off as drunken kisses.

Joe continues to make drunken decisions in the car back to the yacht. He books a flight to Ireland to visit Nathan because it’s only 16 quid. Is this Ryanair product placement? Gael’s hurt because Nathan didn’t check with her about their post-season travel plans. Joe beat her to booking flights so she feels like she can’t expect anything from Nathan anymore. This brings up feelings about how her ex didn’t prioritize her. That breakup is still fresh, too, and Aesha consoles her as she cries. Ellie tells Joe to fuck off as he walks by her and Bri in the crew mess with Carrie. Either unaware of the turmoil they’re causing or deliberately ignoring it, Joe and Nathan happily hang off their top bunk with Carrie. It’s giving Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed . They may not fall off and hit their heads, but there will be consequences.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Below deck's gary king reveals bombshell claim against accuser as sailing yacht season 5 status remains unclear, 90 day fiancé’s natalie mordovtseva announces major career update after mike youngquist & josh weinstein splits.

Below Deck has been facing criticism regarding alleged producer manipulation , and now beloved Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher from Below Deck Sailing Yacht wants to set the record straight. The Below Deck franchise is a series of television shows on Bravo that covers the lives of those who work on major luxury yachts around the world. The cramped and stressful conditions that the men and women aboard the yachts must work in have led to many entertaining seasons. However, Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 , which is currently airing, has come under fire for allegedly faking poor performances.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Daisy Kelliher set the record straight on rumors that the Below Deck shows are scripted.

After rumors began circulating that the " real " portion of " reality " was missing from the Below Deck franchise due to alleged producer manipulation, Daisy felt it was time to correct the narrative. She recently spoke to the Daily Express to discuss the recent rumors. She admitted that fans come up to her and ask her if the Below Deck shows are scripted , which she adamantly denied. Check out what Daisy had to say below:

"The most important thing is people always think it's scripted. They think it's directed…It's not. It certainly isn't. And, you know, I often get asked, ‘How do you ignore the cameras? And that's something where every single cast member comes on and wonders how they're going to do that. But when you're in such a high-pressure, fast-paced environment, it is quite incredible… Like, how the human psyche will just concentrate on what you're doing and not on your peripheral. What they've created is quite amazing. And it doesn't need a script, it doesn't need direction. Because of that, it shows what we do when we're in a high-pressure environment: we are just thinking about that one thing. It's very real; it's very organic. And, yeah, a few bits of entertainment. And I hope most people take it lightheartedly. Some people take it very seriously.”

What Daisy Kelliher’s Revelation Means For Below Deck Storylines

Below deck's drama is organic & not scripted for maximum drama.

In Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 , rumors began to circulate that the drama unfolding on the screen was not real but manipulated by the cast members throughout production . For example, Chef Johnathan "Jono" Shillingford has been trained for many years in the art of being a chef. However, when it was time to serve the charter guests, Chef Jono made more than one mistake that a professional chef should not have been able to make. These mistakes included serving cold eggs, improperly cooked meat, and even serving one guest a dish of raw fish that could have killed her.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

While it appears that the drama on the screen could be staged, Daisy's illustration of how production works behind the scenes suggests another explanation for Chef Jono's poor performance: pressure can play a significant part in the crew's behavior . The high-stress environment of working on a yacht can lead to ordinary people having reactions that are not unusual on yachts, but it also makes television great for viewers. When Bosun Iain Maclean failed to ensure the safety of the charter guests as they were paddleboarding, this was an actual oversight on his part, not the product of producer manipulation.

Our Take On Daisy Kelliher’s Claim That Below Deck Isn’t Scripted

Below deck is accurately portrayed.

In many instances, it can be hard to imagine that what is being shown on television is actually real and not scripted, and this is even more true when the drama is outrageous. Below Deck has filled many seasons showing the behavior of ordinary yachties, including their crewmates' messups, hookups, and reactions to these events. These actions can make it more believable that the producers guided them along , but the truth is that they are the genuine reactions of the people on screen. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht star's interview assures us that what we see is what we get.

Below Deck Season 1: Where Are The Cast Members Now?

Sailing through the oceanic blues, Bravo’s ‘Below Deck’ chronicles the lives of crew members aboard a mega yacht as they reside and work on the vessel during the charter season. The reality television show was launched in 2013 and has juxtaposed the thrill of sailing with the drama of its crew. As the Chief Stew, Captain, Deckhands, and Chef try to navigate the interpersonal conflicts of their workplace, several chaotic themes follow. Years since the debut season came on air, fans have been curious to find out the whereabouts of the original cast members. So, if you also want to know the whereabouts of the reality stars, look no further because we’ve got all the answers right here!

Lee Rosbach is Navigating Life Beyond Reality TV

At 73, Captain Lee Rosbach has led his crew on sails for more than three decades. The television personality was once a Wendy’s manager. His first encounter with the ocean came in his mid-30s when he and his wife, Mary Anne, moved to Turks & Caicos to run a restaurant. At 35, Lee obtained his Captain’s license and has since never looked back. Commonly referred to as the “Stud of the Sea,” he has been in the business for more than four decades. However, after leading his crew for ten seasons, Captain Lee bid his final farewell to the Bravo reality show.

During season 10 of ‘Below Deck,’ fans witnessed Lee’s worsening health conditions, leading to him temporarily sitting out. The reality TV star has been facing mobility issues that have led to high pain levels. Ultimately, the network didn’t invite the boat captain back for season 11. Many have speculated that Lee’s exit from the show came after he conflicted with Captain Sandy Yawn in season 10. Yet, these rumors stand unconfirmed. Nevertheless, Lee Rosbach has now teamed up with Kate Chastain, hosting Bravo’s new series, ‘Couch Talk with Captain Lee and Kate.’

The revered Captain and former chief stew break down the biggest Bravo TV moments of the week on their new show. On the personal front, Lee continues to enjoy life with his family and loved ones. After losing his son , Joshua, at 42, to an opioid addiction in 2019, he has become extensively vocal about rehabilitation for people struggling with addiction. Despite sustaining such an incredible loss, the family continues to honor Joshua’s memory through donations and giving testimony in front of Congress.

Aleks Taldykin is Leading in Yacht Management

Originally picked up by the production house to enact the role of Captain on the yacht, Aleks was ultimately replaced by Captain Lee Rosbach after the yacht owner expressed his discomfort with him taking over the reins. Eventually, he became the Captain’s next-in-command but didn’t return to the series after season 1.

Since his exit from the show, Aleks has maintained his love for the ocean and is currently the CEO of Elite Yacht Management, a company servicing yachts from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

In 2016, Aleks had also appeared on ‘Vanderpump Rules.’ At 33, the television personality enjoys life with his wife and family.

However, both have time and again denounced trolls for such rumors.

When Ben isn’t enjoying his time with friends and family, he’s engaged in several other commitments. Furthermore, he is a TikTok and Cameo creator who sells his personal merchandise brand and offers several services through online channels.

Adrienne Gang is Expanding Her Culinary Expertise

Despite her short-lived stint on ‘Below Deck,’ Adrienne quickly became a fan-favorite for dealing with a difficult crew. The 39-year-old Chief Stew has found herself busy with other endeavors. Apart from freelancing as a stew on different boats, she has also returned to her job as a Chef. Before taking up the role in reality television, Adrienne had been a professional chef for eight years.

The television personality is now working at the Culinary Vegetable Institute and Chef’s Garden, honing her skills and expanding her work portfolio. On the family front, Adrienne is married to Chiropractor Dr. Andrew Banks. The couple tied the knot in 2018 in a beachfront ceremony and have enjoyed marital bliss ever since. Sadly, they faced a substantial loss in 2021 after they miscarried their baby. Nevertheless, Adrienne and Andrew remain unfazed by these struggles and enjoy their life with their dog, Buddy. In addition, she hosts the ‘Gangplant Report’ podcast.

C.J. LeBeau is Actively Working in Marketing

Disembarking from the yacht just before the crew could take its final charter, C.J. Beau quickly became disinterested in the activities onboard and eventually left the boat behind. Since then, he has not reappeared in the series and has maintained a profile outside the media. Shortly after the season ended, C.J. was taken into police custody in Phoenix, Arizona, for allegedly getting in a physical altercation with his then-fiance.

The television personality was reportedly charged with intentional assault and defacing property. It was also reported that C.J. allegedly broke his fiance’s cell phone during the fight. Later, he became the Sales Director for Direct Source Distributing, a marketing company based in San Diego. On the personal front, C.J. has maintained privacy and doesn’t disclose his private information.

Kat Held is Pursuing Nursing and Bartending

Despite repeatedly knocking heads with the Chief Stew, Kat quickly became a fan-favorite for her famous phrases. However, she ended up leaving the show after season 2. Since then, Kat has been pursuing different opportunities. The 39-year-old worked as a waitress before eventually returning to nursing school in 2017. Kat also worked as a Bartender in Las Vegas and currently likes to keep her personal and professional details under wraps. Moreover, the television personality attended ‘Watch What Happens Live’ with her ‘Below Deck’ costars in 2020.

Samantha Orme is Building a New Life and Career

While Samantha’s time was full of ups and downs on the yacht, the television personality decided she wanted more in life and not just work at a mega yacht. Shortly after exiting the show, she met Bradley Ulmer, a Coast Guard Helicopter Pilot, and the two hit it off. The couple decided to tie the knot a few months into dating.

Subsequently, the duo welcomed their daughters, Blake and Molly. On the professional front, 36-year-old Samantha has accrued equal success. The television personality was the Vice President of a Solar Energy Firm before she returned to study Industrial Engineering. She is currently working as the Enterprise Program Manager for Fidelity National Information Services.

Eddie Lucas is Commanding the Harbor

After appearing as the Deckhand in season 1, Eddie ultimately became a Bosun and the First Officer on the Bravo series. Yet, after eight seasons, he decided to leave the franchise entirely. Eddie is now the Captain of a harbor tug boat in the Baltimore Harbor. The homeowner had revealed in an interview with The New York Post that he gets paid the lowest amount compared to other shows on Bravo.

It is also speculated that Eddie’s arguments with Rayna Lindsey over alleged homophobic comments could have been the reason for his departure from the show. Nevertheless, these speculations have not been entertained by the television personality. Instead, the 38-year-old has left behind the reality television life and now focuses on chartering to the Caribbean and experiencing the best of the ocean life with his dog named Bert, as well as friends and loved ones.

David Bradberry is Pursuing Acting Opportunities

Sailing through the season without any conflict, David’s endearing demeanor won countless viewers during the show. Regardless, the reality TV star ultimately left the series following his appearance in season 1. Since then, David has explored a path in entertainment and starred in works like, ‘Confessions,’ ‘The Last Straight Man,’ ‘Fiendish Things,’ and ‘The Men Next Door.’ On the personal front, the 37-year-old is no longer with his boyfriend featured in ‘Below Deck.’ The television personality has since kept his dating life under wraps and loves to maintain a private profile.
