I am addicted to the "Below Deck" shows on Bravo. You know the format, right? Some rich douche rents a super Yacht to sail for a couple of days with a crew of drunks, morons and sexual predators. It's sort of a Gilligan's Island for retards. Each week the guests gets worse and worse with their demands for specialty parties and weird menu items. The crew fight and fuck and mess everything up.
It's a meataphor for life!
Now there is the original recipe Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Sailing Yacht. However, the newest one "Below Deck Down Under" is far and away the best one so far.
Set in Australia the photography is just superb. Especially the underwater shots as all they do is go scuba diving and snorkeling. I mean there are no great castles like in the Med which does has some great shots of Croatia or the beauty of Spain that you see on Sailing Yacht.
The best part of the show is the crew. You have the best Captain of them all on this show. The dude is hands on and is not afraid to get his hands dirty. He is always jumping in and helping. Plus he will bust the balls of his crew in a good natured way. He was hazing this one hapless deckhand but when the guys toilet overflowed and he woke him up at 3 in the morning to quit he got up and helped him clean up the shit. The dude is awesome.
The stews are just alright. The foul mouthed Aussie slut who had been on Med previously is the chief stew and she really doesn't know what she is doing. She wants to be their friend and that doesn't work. I mean the relationship between the girls isn't toxic which is unusual for these shows because she has one problem child. This polish model type is the third stew. Her grasp of English is not that good and she doesn't know how to make most drinks or be able to carry stuff with out dropping them. She was a yoga instructor on her last ship so she was really hired for scenery purposes and to fuck up on camera. Which she does.
Still she does brighten up the scenery.
The show is on the Peacock network which I did not buy. I get it on the Cinema App which allows you to stream just about everything for free. Check if out if you can. If you are going to watch a Below Deck Franchise this is the one to see.

I take it the girl in the masthead is not a regular.
Yes she is the stew I was talking about.
She prances around and is relatively good natured but she is always on her phone with her boyfriend instead of doing her work.
Not good.
