Hoist the popcorn and batten down the sofa, Below Deck hits Channel 4 with ocean-deep drama – here are 5 top moments
IT'S THE reality series that's got us all wondering – should we just ditch the day job and set sail on a luxury charter yacht? Below Deck takes us behind the scenes of the glamorous yet chaotic world of yacht charters, where outrageous guests with extravagant demands meet an even more unpredictable crew. 3 Below Deck rules the TV waves with boozy guests, crew tantrums and love triangles From the sparkling waters of the Caribbean to the stunning landscapes of Australia, this franchise (including Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Down Under and Below Deck Sailing Yacht) truly sails across the globe in style. Over the years, this series has delivered countless jaw-dropping dramas and unforgettable moments. To celebrate the new season of Below Deck streaming on E4, we're taking a look back at some all-time favourite moments from the Below Deck family. 1. Drunk dive disaster If there's one thing Below Deck has taught us over the years, it's that you don't mess with the legendary captain Lee. So when notorious charter guest Delores Flora decided to ignore his orders and take a drunken dive into the sea during Season 8, Episode 11, it's safe to say things didn't go smoothly. Concerned for her safety, the enraged captain demanded she return to the yacht immediately. By morning, with a sore head and no sympathy, Delores' antics led to the charter being cut short as she was swiftly sent packing back to shore. 2. Taco-gate Trained chef or convenience connoisseur? Enter chef Mila Kolomeitseva, who found herself in water hotter than the Med during Season 4 of Below Deck Mediterranean. Mila shocked everyone when she served tacos made from a boxed Old El Paso kit to her high-paying charter guests. From soggy nachos to undercooked steaks, it didn't take long for the crew to realise Mila wasn't exactly Michelin material. Things hit rock bottom when captain Sandy Yawn confronted her about her sloppy standards and Mila bizarrely responded by licking a raw steak. Needless to say, she was swiftly fired, paving the way for the return of fan favourite chef Ben Robinson. 3 Captain Sandy forked out punishment to chef Mila after bizarre steak licking stunt 3. Cake kick-off After tirelessly crafting a stunning birthday cake for a friend of primary guest Charley Walters, chef Kevin Dobson was expecting some appreciation. But during the final group dinner in Season 7, Episode 17, chief steward Kate Chastain left Kevin out of her thank-you toast and he was fuming. Feeling completely disrespected, Kevin snapped and dramatically kicked the cake across the deck before storming off in a huff, leaving the crew stunned. As for the guests? Totally unbothered – they even tucked into the smashed cake without a second thought and the altercation didn't affect their tip. 4. Love triangle ahoy What do you get when you mix a yacht full of young, attractive crew? A juicy love triangle, of course! Enter Malia White on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 2, the green deckhand with a secret fling – chef Adam Glick. But she quickly fell for bosun Wes Walton. Cue drama! As the season unfolded, the triangle fuelled a season of jealousy, squabbling and petty sabotage. In the finale (spoiler alert!), Malia chose the ever-calm Wes, and the pair even holidayed together after the season wrapped, proving it was worth the aggro. 5. Foam party fiasco The aim of the game in the yachting world is to please the guests to get a bigger tip at the end of the charter – but sometimes guest demands are a little crazy. For example, on Below Deck Mediterranean, a guest demanded a foam party, which led to a slippery deck and an injured crew member. Meanwhile on Below Deck Down Under, Season 1, one guest demanded a 24/7 buffet despite it being a meals only table service. The crew improvised to create a snack station, but the guests were horrified it wasn't up to Las Vegas standards. 3 Discover more drunken guests, galley meltdowns and captain one-liners from the Below Deck universe, available to stream free on Channel 4 – and right now.
