Once again, it feels a lot longer than a week since I did my last Below Deck Sailing Yacht recap. Time seems to be moving so slowly. I am going into this episode as a Gabby fan. I hope they all ease up on her a bit. This episode is some down time from charter guests which means some fool is going to hook up with Gary, AKA the Austen of the sea, and he could care less who it is. I this point I don’t care either. Stupid is as stupid does.
He Might Accidentally Sleep With Everyone On This Boat
We begin with everyone finishing up their cleaning for the next charter. Gabby is already in a sad place. She feels defeated. š Everyone take a water taxi to their restaurant. They are thrilled about their tip and ready to spend some money. Gary just wants to have sex. As everyone else goes on a restroom break Colin and Gabby are able to have a sweet conversation. Side note: OMG cars, motorcycles and ATVs race up and down my street all the time. And the police do nothing. A group of fancy motorcycles and the Popo was right behind them. But now, the cop has left and they are right back to racing. WTF? Sorry. There is a lot going on in the hood tonight. Anyway, Colin is very sweet to Gabby. Now another cop car is out there. Gabby admits that she can be hypersensitive at times

Captain Glenn watching some documentary about eels mating is hysterical. Back at the boat Ashley is giving Gary a massage and then straddles him and they start making out. They head to a cabin to finish the deed. Colin tells Gabby that Gary will regret this tomorrow. Side note: I just bit the fuck out of my tongue and it is bleeding. Also the motorcycles are racing again. I think they might be one short. OH WOW Kelsie either fainted or black out and fell out trying to get to bed. Apparently, she was okay. The next morning Gary is regretful about smashing Ashley AGAIN. He doesn’t even remember getting back on the boat. Ashley tries to play down the events of the night to Gary.
Duel By Chicken Fight
The entire crew gets to go stay in a stunning villa on the water for the night. I love how production is interspersing clips of Captain Glenn having a quiet relaxing day in between all the mayhem. Somehow it is decided that Gabby and Ashley will work out their issues by having a chicken fight. Ashley wins but not before the girls were literally drowning Colin and Marcos. Ashley continues to come on to Gary. Daisy is hanging with Ashley. Gabby tries to be nice to Marcos and Gary. But Marcos seems to think Gabby picks on him. I don’t see that. He keeps talking about it to Gary after Gabby has left them. Marcos whining about Gabby “picking on him” makes me lose all of my feelings about him. What a baby.

Meanwhile, Everyone is wasted and it is still the middle of the day. This will not end well. Gabby in Ashley get in a play fight knocking each other off of their floats. Gabby says she needs a lifeguard. Marcos, who is wearing a lifeguard shirt says “Nah, I’d like to see her drown a little bit.” What is his problem? Then he gets in the water and pushes Gabriella all the way off her raft and sending one of the other girls underwater as well. Gabby says that wasn’t funny. Then he tells her she is “a problem.” Dude, she’s been minding her own business! Fuck off of her! Gabriella says he is forty and still acting like a “stupid ass dickhead.” Daisy says that was too far. Really, Daisy? Daisy tries to mediate the situation. But it doesn’t go well.
How Not To Win Friends And Influence People
Gabriella goes to bed to sleep it off. It’s 5:20. I think that is a good plan. Marcos keeps bitching about her to anyone who will listen. Later that night, Marcus hugs it out with Gabby. He thinks that makes him some sort of saint who is making a sacrifice for the sake of the crew. But, in my opinion he is the bully in this situation. Then Gabby gets weird. She keeps pretending that the villa is her house. At dinner she thanks them all for coming and asks them all to leave now. Oh, Gabby. This is not endearing you to anyone, girl! Stop making things worse for yourself! Actually, it’s time for them to head back to the boat.

Colin, Marcos Gary and Daisy go in one van and everyone else is in the other. Colin says that Gabby is the problem. Gary says that Daisy needs to address that with her tonight. Colin says she should wait until tomorrow. Gabby and Captain Glenn are on WWHL tonight. I’ll check that out after I watch American Idol. Gabby has an attitude with Colin. COLIN!!! GIRL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? She walks up on the deck and plops down with Colin and Ashley and asked him to go fetch them beers. She just walked past the bar to get to where they were! Gabby storms off. I’m finding it hard to root for her at this point. She keeps self-sabotaging.
Adios Amigos!
The next day, it’s time to get back to work and prepare for the guests. Daisy needs to talk to Gabby about he behavior. She talks to Captain Glenn about Gabby first. Then, they have a preference sheet meaning. The primary is a dermatologist who has requested to be called Dr. Nichols at all times. Also, that name rings a bell and it sound like this is going to be a tough charter. Gabby calls her friend and talks about her issues fitting in with the crew. She is disappointed in herself and embarrassed. Her friend gives good advice. Gabby goes to talk to Captain Glenn. She says the environment is not good for her mental health but she loves her job. He tells her she is very good at what she does. THANK YOU CAPTAIN GLENN! What will Ashley do without Gabby pulling half of her weight?

Gabby is very honest with Captain Glenn. She says she has some work to do regarding her interpersonal relationships while working on a boat. She quits and Captain Glenn is very supportive. I love how he is handling this. He says he would love to work with her in the future. They hug. Kelsie goes to check on Ashley. Apparently, they are close. Ashley on the other hand is celebrating getting the bottom bunk And having a bigger tip. She might actually have to work for her tip on this charter. I hope they bring in another second stew who will school her. I’m sad to see her go.
Later on the season, we get a new deckhand and a new stew. And some rough waters. Gabby left at just the right time.
I blame the whole Gabby/Ashley thing on Daisy. When she made Gabby her second and Ashley refused to respect it Daisy should have stepped in instead of letting it fester for weeks. If Ashley can’t respect the line of command she is in the wrong profession. Gabby was hypersensitive and bravo to her for figuring out that the best thing was to remove herself from the situation.
I agree with this. Ashley was out of line so many times. I wish Gabby would have revealed to Daisy the comment Ashley made when Gabby tried to have a one on one a few episodes ago. Ashley pretty much told Gabby she was not going to respect her position as 2nd stew. She told her rankings were obsolete. Bitch needs to be put in her place. However, Daisy had picked up on the tension enough that she shouldāve had a cone to Jesus meeting and explained rankings to little Miss Attitude.
I think instead of gabby go looking for friends on a ship she went to work on she should have do her work and stop drinking so much. I think when gabby drink to much she becomes the rudest person out. I think she was very rude to Marco. The only time I think she was treated unfairly was when Marco throw her under the bus, because she did not say fire, because she did let him know the guests were sitting at the table for dinner. Gabby was good at her job but she needed to focus on her job and stop looking for friends and stop the drinking. I wish one black person can go on those cruise and behaved themselve. Be a representation of black.
It was really hard to like Gabby this episode. I didn’t even recognize Captain Glenn on WWHL
If I ever decide to crew on Below Deck, remind me to bring a stack of books. While everyone else makes fools of themselves and gets in stupid fights, I’m going to relax on deck and enjoy the sights. I’ll go out for a nice dinner, a shot or two of Baileys and then see ya suckers.
I love that on WWHL, Captain Glenn froze in his perfect default smiling expression. At work we always freeze with the worst faces. š
Ha! That would be a great plan! I do not understand how the crew hets that wasted – repeatedly- and can still get up and work the next day?! I would be hanging over the railing for the next several days getting sick after just one night out. The crew, on every season, seem to (mostly) bounce back so easily.
Itās called youth! Once you hit 30, Hangover City!
Ashley and Kelsie are the only ones under 30.
Then it must be the SALT AIR!
You would get as much camera time as Kelsie š¤£
I really thought Gabby was great at first. Wtf happened,?
I do not feel sorry for a single one of these people ā for the jobs they have to do and being away from Mommy and Daddy. Go work at Taco Bell and go home every night.
Certain people (cough cough) should not drink.
Kelsieās habit of flossing with her hair is so white trash. Iāve never even seen amethyst head do it ā¦ oh, right, TEETH. First, you donāt floss at a table. Second, you donāt floss with your hair. Ever. Maybe on Survivor. Or not.
I REALLY REALLY hope the new stew is imminently more qualified than Ashley and she gets stuck as third. š¤šš¼
Iāve seen people pull out floss and use it after eating. Not washing their hands after. Itās just wrong w/floss and wrong AF with hair. GO to a bathroom to floss. Then, wash your damn hands.
I wish Gabby had stuck to her promise that she wasnāt going to get drunk anymore. Alcohol is not kind to her.
I appreciated that in her meeting with Captain Glenn she put herself on the line and said she wasnāt mixing well with the others. Obviously that is what is being shown to us viewers, but I still think the real why is being edited out. And Glenn, he is just lovely.
Did anyone see that Gabby is now dating Wes from last season of Below Deck? That is one hot couple!
Had not seen the news about Wes and Gabby, but YES, they would definitely make a gorgeous couple. Heās š„!!!
Gabby and Glenn were both virtual on WWHL. Gabby is working on a 53 foot sailboat and Wes is the captain. Captain Glenn was on his on boat on the Med.
Oh I didnāt watch WWHL. I will watch it On Demand.
Why did I think of the Wes that Malia dated on the Below Deck Med season!? I just saw which Wes it was and that makes more sense! I think they’ll be good for each other. He seems like he would be patient with someone who may struggle sometimes with social situations.
Captain Glenn is a star!
He was so kind to Gabriele and respectful of the crew.
Other than her disgusting hair flossing, Kelsie is pretty stellar too!
Oh FUCK! I just saw the previews. It looks like Gary bones the new stew. Sorry Ashley! Not! Bwahahahaha! šš¤®šor maybe ā¦š¤
Is that the eggplant emoji? You are giving Gary too much credit.
Yes THANK YOU! Marcos is a pu$$y and Asheley is a jealous two faced b1tch
Sorry to see Gabby go. Ashley is pathetic-it breaks my heart as a women to see Ashley desperately chase and beg Gary to bone her. Ashley must have really low self esteem. I donāt think Ashley can be embarrassed or has any self awareness. Everything is ā¦.I want, what I want, when I want it. Itās desperate
Remember when she told Colin (I think) that her sister slept with all her boyfriends? I feel like she thinks sheās got something to prove. She apparently has an Only Fans type account. She seems very competitive around boys/men and getting their attention.
Ashley….just yuck! She took advantage of Gary while he was drunk and was saying he didn’t want to have sex with her. He ran out of the room and went back to his bunk to get away from her. She still somehow thinks she won because she took advantage of a black-out drunk guy. I hope she learns something from watching herself on tv and seeing what the guys really thought of her and said about her behind her back. I can’t wait to see how the new stew upsets her fragile little ego. Colin is a gem. I just love him more every show. Can we get a show with just Colin on his own boat with his dog?
Yes, it was horrible to watch. It was basically rape. If it had been the other way round, Gary’s feet wouldn’t have touched the ground on the way out. Ashley needs to learn that No means No.
Exactly. Seems like in this industry things like reverse shame game happen alnd. Everyone is screaming about Gary being loose and he is, but so is every girl on that boat too. So game on!
I love this show so much & appreciate that you were able to do such a good recap with all the crap going on in your neighborhood. I loved Gabby at the beginning of the season but she seemed to regress more and more as the season went on. All of them drink way, way too much and it affects some of them in a really bad way — Gabby is one of those people. I hated to see her quit but I think it was the best thing she could do for herself. I was confused by how Marcos was behaving toward her but I think that production edited out some things that may have happened and that’s why he was so mean to her. I’m glad I didn’t see Kelsie floss her teeth with her hair or I might have lost my dinner. I don’t even like looking at myself when I’m flossing let alone having to watch someone else do it. Captain Glenn is such a sweetheart. He seems to find a kind way to handle just about everyone. If you Google Dr. Kim Nichols you can see her bio & that she’s appeared on some talk shows. I can see where she’s probably going to be really full of herself.
She calls herself a “celebrity dermatologist”. Does that mean she considers herself a celebrity or she treats celebrities? š¤
Thanks for the great recap! Iām glad Gabby was able to recognize she wasnāt in a healthy headspace and needed to leave and kudos to Glenn for handling it so well. The problem people have with talking about mental health issues is other people make it about themselves when itās not. Glad to see she is in a better space. As for the Ashley/Gary situation, I hope Iām not violating comment rules but I have to think about how differently we would be talking about it if Ashley was blackout drunk and Gary was leading her downstairs for āa massageā. She was very much the predator in that situation and she should be called out for what she did.
I forgot to mention that I am so happy Gabby didnāt leave for anything racially charged being said towards her by Daisy like the rumors that have been going around.
Gabriele has nothing but good things to say about Daisy on her IG. It was that site with a name that must not be mentioned (beloved by TRav), which was disparaged by the RHOP on air last season that helped spread that rumor.
Good points on the Ashley/Gary situation. I hope itās addressed at the reunion.
Omg this 1000%. I just watched. It was very unsettling to watch and even the words of the conversation btwn them on the bottom of the screenā¦no means no.
Marco made a comment about Gabby reminding him of an ex I think. That may explain why her mere presence made him act bat crap nuts. Get help dude, you seem quite reasonable until you went bonkers with Gabby.
As for Ashley…….I pray for karma to pay her a visit.
I just cannot stand Ashley at all and it almost has nothing to do with Gabby (whom I still love) . Ashley is just such an egotistical maniac about everything. She can’t believe that everyone is not “obsessed” with her. She is a spoiled brat and that is all there is too it.
Daisy is great , I do like her, but she needs to be more on top of things.
Gary is a f boy…,but there are plenty of f girls on that boat.
I finally watched WWHL with Gabby and Glenn. I think she and Wes seem like they would make a great couple. Good for her, she LOVES her current boat family (no vicious Ashley). Now that Malia has left BD, Ashley can wear the āmost hated BD woman crew memberā tiara! (Yawn not included because ā¦ crew)
Wes and Gabby dating seems like a perfect pairing! They are both so mellow.
Mixed anxiety insecurities and alcohol and you have the perfect storm ā¦which is what I think happened to Gabby. She was obviously a doll Sans alcohol
