Below Deck Down Under

I really enjoyed BDDU! Captain Jason and Aesha are such great leaders! Aesha inspires by being very capable and a lot of fun! This is so important in a job!

Captain Jason leads by example. No arrogance, he is "friends" with the crew and at the same time highly respected (by most of the crew;)). Moreover he has always good advice and constructive feedback.

The rest of the team is also fabolous, of course with some special individuals who bring the irritation and entertainment this kind of show needs.

Can't wait for season 2, hopefully with Jason and Aesha! So keep up the great attitude and just be yourselves!

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...

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'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.

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!
