Below Deck Down Under

Benny has got to be the most Irritating person I have ever seen, and it's so sad the captain can't see how he behaves. Benny is there for a good time, not to work! Sorry he lost his parents, but that's no reason to be so incompetent. His defiance is outright disrespectful! Should have been gone a long time ago.

Magda is terrible, She should have stayed at home with her boyfriend. Aesha is delightful, but that long drawl drives me insane. Tumi is a pleasant surprise. There aren't many people of color in this industry, and I really think she handles her self well. She works hard, and I like the fact she has her chief stews back.

Ryan is just terrible! He is the worst chef I have seen. He's worst than Chef Leon!

BD Down Under is far and away the best one! We've watched all the BD versions. Sure it's silly, but the purpose of entertainment is having that great escape! While we enjoy all the versions, the others seem to be sinking lower and lower into just being mean to people. Too much of that in this world already. Loved how positive this one is! Captain Jason is such a good guy, and it was great seeing how much he truly cared about his crew. Last episode good-byes were the best! So nice to see a Chief stew who gets that you get the most out of people by treating them well. Well done!

I love this show and the connections (and, disconnections!) of all the crew under Captain Jason's regime; however, I would like to comment that viewers (like me) who are into fashions of the rich and/or famous would love to get more of a birdseye view of the outfits the guests on the yacht are choosing to wear! In the latest season, they barely shoot "whole outfits", instead just "portrait" shots, or shots while all guest are seated at the table, and we can't fully appreciate the beautiful fashions the women are wearing! Can you work on that??

I realize it's a reality show and everything can't be seen, but it would help to slooooooooow down the shots and changes in camera angles a tad...thanks!

I'll keep this brief; from micromanaging members of the crew to belittling deckhands, to "testing" the crew when angry, Captain Jason strips Below Deck of being able to enjoy the typical struggles other crews have experienced in the Below Deck franchise.

If you've seen other below deck shows you may experience some déjà vu but variations in characters locations and scenery give it some life.

I've particularly enjoyed Seeing Australian sites and the scuba diving. There is a couple people on the boat who look for destined for upset and failure, but I hope the show can find some positive drama or twists...
