Below Deck ratings have been amazing this season, and it seems they finally have achieved big fancy reunion status! The filming happened on Friday and the fighting and snark apparently continues. The reunion was filmed in Miami and Andy also had a book signing there on Friday evening. I’m not really sure if he did the reunion first or if they did it on Saturday, but it appears that they had a very early call on Friday morning based on Tweets.
CHECK OUT ALL BELOW DECK RECAPS HERE!
Fun fact, Kate Chastain has me blocked on Twitter, for obvious reasons. LOL. I don’t have much tea on the actual goings on at the reunion. I do know that despite moving up the money scale from shoving everyone into the shoebox that is the WWHL studio, they apparently chose not to fly Leon in from Australia. Hopefully, they will Skype him in at some point.
Rocky thankfully still has some support from Emile and Dave both of whom really seem to like her. BTW, Emile has the best Instagram ever. It’s part modeling photos (where he looks super hot) and part travelogue showing his vast traveling to pretty much everywhere in the world. He is living life right for sure. I envy his freedom and youthful good looks.
CYNTHIA BAILEY & CLAUDIA JORDAN HAD BEST BELOW DECK EPISODE!
I just went to see how Eddie held up at the reunion, and I am blocked from his Twitter as well. Bear in mind I NEVER tweet these people, except occasionally Amy last season because she is a sweetheart. Oh and Captain Lee, because I lurv him even when he is being ridiculous about Kate. So apparently Eddie is sensitive to being knocked of the pedestal he was on here for his treatment of Rocky on the show. I get that it was scripted, but he agreed to the farce that we were shown, so it is what it is.
Of course Kate is going to be a bitch, and sadly Amy is going to be #TeamKate . There will be a lot of Leon bashing. I’m sure Dane will be bashed as well. But what I want to know is if Eddie’s feet will be held to the fire over the whole Rocky situation. His stock dropped A LOT this season. Will he be able to recover? Or will he just make matters worse?
Are you surprised that Below Deck got a full blown reunion before Vanderpump Rules did?
The reunion must have happened on Friday because Emile was in my husband’s restaurant Saturday about 1ish having lunch.
More than a few are speculating it will be more than a 1 part reunion.
I just am not surprised at all that Kate is acting as immature as to block you. I said all season she was a b###h. She has proven it. I guess she can’t grasp the realization that the fact people are talking about her makes her relavent in show business. I’m assuming that she wants to be on tv why else would she try out for the show. She could have been a stew on many other yachts otherwise. That’s one thing the Kardashians do right is stay on people’s tongues. Publicity is going to get them work. Eddie is just a stain. Couldn’t be more displeased with how he was portrayed. Then for him to also block you on social media just shows he is a stain in real life as well as on the show.
Please, if I were Kate I’d block me too. I don’t have a single nice thing to say about her. Eddie is a bit more surprising but with comments like this, I can see why he wouldn’t want to be reminded of this site either.
You are hilarious T, spilled my Lipton over this comment.
Kate was on the Watch What Crappens podcast last week and said she has a new job as a private jet hostess. The WWC hosts review Bravo shows and go off on wild tangents, creating hilarious fictional scenarios and monologues for a variety of bravolebrities and Below Deck is a favorite of theirs. Kate does not have a fun personality but I have never thought her a bitch- just uptight and extremely service oriented. I wonder if she’ll come back for another season of filming.
You can count on it. She is blackballed in the yachting industry. I don’t believe the waitress in the sky job either.
Why is she blackballed in the yachting industry, Tamara? I think she is an unpleasant soul who finds fault in everyone except herself. That said, she seems to be competent at her job. Just curious why she has been blackballed
Pretty much all of them are except for Adrienne from season one, and Emile. You must not have watched last season when all the crew did was trash talk the guests or this season when they put the guest’s weave in their privates. Last season they also went through the guests clothes and made negative comments about their belongings. Kate has also lied to guests about all manor things. I understand some of you think she is just the bees knees, but the yachting community is not that large and they are not amused by how this show makes them look at all. Much like people from Atlanta are embarrassed by RHOA, and people from NJ are embarrassed by RHONJ, Jersey Shore, Wendy Williams…..etc. Making penis blankets is not a coveted skill in the actual industry.
Don’t they film the reunions at Sur? Lisa probably gets a rental fee for the place….
Not surprised. This season was pretty good. I also think that the #PumpRules kids are going to get a bigger deal this season in regard to the Reunion due to the all drama and the ratings they are bringing.
I luvs me some Captain Lee, warts (Kate) and all! I want him to literally throw me down and have his way with me. I’m a little weirded out with this particular fantasy of mine tho,ugh, because I don’t even like boys. Signed, fucked up and confused as always.
I’m definitely tuning in for the reunion, and I’m curious to see Rocky in a different setting–will she make eye contact with anyone? Or will she resume that bewildering eye rolling…sort of a dazed and confused, muddle-headed ceiling stare-thing. Does she have invisible friends she’s communicating with? Will she appear in her mermaid attire?
Thank you TT for explaining the blackballing. I posted that before about what the guests thought of their antics when they saw the show. I never thought about how the other in the industry would take it. I can see where they wouldn’t like it. I am glad they got a upscale reunion. I actually enjoy these quirky nuts. I know I couldn’t bunk like that. I would lose my mind. Well even faster than I already have.
Everyone’s fallen for the crazy person at least once in their life. So no, I don’t think Eddie’s feet will get held to the fire too long. The only way for him to get out of it is if Bravo / Andy admits to the story manipulation (they won’t) or Eddie to say it was a fabrication (he won’t for job security).
~ Sometimes, I am really attracted to Cap’n Lee…and sometimes that feeling evaporates.
Kate thinks way to highly of herself. She’s a glorified waitress. Eddie is a leech! I liked that Leon didn’t take Kate’s crap! I still have ” ironing the captains shorts” stuck in my head!
Hey Tamara,
You might know me from last season. I always find it hilarious that people think this show is scripted. I’m not under contract from Bravo anymore, and can basically say what I want. What makes you think it’s scripted? What you see is real….more dramatic because of editing but all real. If you would like any questions answered I would be glad to answer them for you.
For the record everyone is having problems finding fill time jobs other than my sister, Eddie who is a tug guy, and myself. Actually Rocky has been working with Aleks on the west coast. The industry views Below Deck very poorly, and it’s understandable.
Have a great day!
Hi Kelley! Glad to hear you are finding work. This season was much more scripted than yours, the rabbit story, the need to get Leon out so that Ben could come back, etc. Trust me. This is not speculation on my part.
Whew! You’re back.
Well from what I know from my sister….this season was not scripted either. I think the term “Scripted” is poorly used. Editing can make things look differently than what actually happened. Like with the whole me a Jennice thing. But NEVER, and I say again NEVER do they have us say lines, or force us to act a certain way. So a scripted show like Hardcore Pawn, is nothing like what happens on Below Deck. I can’t speak for the guests, but I can speak for the crew. Anyways, I have to get to bed! Back to work tomorrow!
