Inside Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s Crash, and the Dramatic Aftermath

By Julie Miller

Below Deck viewers have survived kitchen fires, nightmare charter guests , dramatic dismissals, drug scandals , and soured romantic relationships. But Monday’s episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, “Total Ship Show,” is unprecedented in franchise history, in terms of its sheer disaster quotient. Within the first five minutes of the episode, the Parsifal yacht crashes into a stone dock in high winds, destroying the end of the vessel and totaling Captain Glenn Shephard ’s already-dented ego. (Last week, Parsifal suffered a less serious collision. We hope the sailing yacht is not cursed.) The rest of the episode unravels like a high-paced thriller set aboard an out-of-control luxury yacht.

The villains: the shrill, gluten-free charter guests, who are too self-involved to notice the Parsifal ’s jacked transom door. The dramatic B-plot: the chef screwing up a five-course meal by serving steak after dessert. As if this were not enough action for a single episode, there is also an STD scare that forces an otherwise respectable woman to reckon with an indiscretion.

“It was almost like an embarrassment of riches,” said Below Deck executive producer Courtland Cox, of the chart-topping chaos in Croatia. “It’s amazing that this was all happening, but it’s also difficult to tell all of these stories in an interesting way within a limited amount of time per episode.” Some viewers complained that the season was starting off too smoothly, but Cox trusted the process and knew that such interesting cast members would yield climactic story lines. “With any great narrative structure, you want to have peaks and valleys that eventually crescendo into something interesting…. The yacht crashing, guests being crazy, and Jean-Luc [Cerza Lanaux] being worried about getting an STD, all that stuff is the seasoning.”

Ahead, Cox and Parsifal chief stew Daisy Kelliher take us behind the scenes of Monday’s bombshell episode to answer all of our burning questions—about everything from the crash to the onboard romances, including Dani’s pregnancy announcement.

Executive producer Cox was tucked away in a tiny control room on the Parsifal during both accidents, where he was able to watch what was happening from three different camera vantage points, and hear what was happening from the walkie-talkie dialogue on deck. Cox said that he knew that the Parsifal was going to hit the dock about five seconds before it happened—when first mate Gary King began calling out the shrinking measurements between the yacht and the dock, but the boat, because of the intense wind and swell, kept hurtling toward the dock at full speed. Because of a mechanical error that short-circuited the thrusters, Captain Glenn was not able to propel the vessel in the reverse direction.

As the ship sped toward the dock, the Below Deck producer juggled a contradictory range of concerns: the fear of a captive passenger aboard an out-of-control vessel; worry for his fellow shipmates; heartbreak for Captain Glenn, who was about to bite it in front of multiple cameras; and, conversely, the shark-like instincts of a reality-TV producer keen to capture the chaotic melee in all of its gruesome glory.

“The human part of me, my heart aches for Glenn,” Cox told Vanity Fair. Still, he continued, “My job is to capture what’s actually happening—so we told our camera operators, ‘Stay on Glenn.’ We don’t push right up in his face or get in his way, but the story in the moment was that Glenn hit the dock. How was he going to rectify the situation?”

In addition to seeing the crash, viewers also witness Captain Glenn’s spirit breaking close up—as the sweet Parsifal pilot realizes, in devastatingly real time, that he has not only incurred thousands of dollars in yacht damages, but has done so with a camera trained on him.

“I probably watched this episode 15 times in various incarnations, and every time I see Glenn’s face in the immediate aftermath of hitting that dock, I still get very emotional,” said Cox. “It’s a catastrophic moment for any yacht captain when you do damage to a boat. It’s the worst possible thing. And I also know that that’s compounded by a factor of a million because there are TV cameras on you.”

Cox has produced 16 seasons’ worth of Below Deck, and called the crash “the second-most intense moment ever on the series.” (The first-most intense was a near-death accident in 2018 during which deckhand Ashton Pienaar was pulled overboard after his ankle was caught in ropes.) “As a producer, it’s amazingly compelling. But as a person onboard, it’s terrifying…. But Glenn is a consummate professional. He didn’t try to deflect or make excuses or try to tap dance his way out of it. He went quickly into crisis mode, damage mode.”

Parsifal chief stew Daisy Kelliher said that watching the crash in the episode was worse than living it, “because I was downstairs when it happened. I have never seen a boat that crashed the dock or been in a boat that crashed the dock.”

Speaking about Glenn, Kelliher said, “He was pretty upset at the time, but you quickly calm down. It was an accident, and the main thing is nobody got hurt. It’s like banging your car. You get the insurance sorted. You learn from it. And you move on.”

How quickly did the episode’s events happen in real life?

The unfolded over the course of about 72 hours, according to Cox. “The boat hits the dock, it looks terrible, and Glenn’s like, ‘Well, the guests are getting here in four hours.’… The crew did a great job at kind of compartmentalizing, and putting the dock behind us as these charter guests come on. And the story becomes about J.L.’ s anxiety about the STD, and [chef] Natasha’s anxiety about these guests having crazy demands that are emotionally taxing on the heels of a traumatic event…. It’s exhausting for them.”

What did producers make of another unprecedented plot twist: J.L.’s on-camera concerns about a potential sexually transmitted disease?

This twist surprised even Cox. “I’m a fossil who grew up in the ’70s and ’80s,” said Cox. “What was going through my head was, ‘There’s a very easy way he could have prevented this—by using some kind of protection. If you roll the dice, you kinda gotta accept what happens to you. I’m not a heartless monster TV producer. I don’t want anyone to ever suffer or go through something they have an existential crisis over. In that moment, you’re hoping that it’s at least one of the lesser STDs that is easily treated.”

When did producers discover that Dani was pregnant? (The cast member revealed her pregnancy on Instagram last month.)

“Dani brought it to our attention when we were pretty far into the postproduction process,” said Cox. “Even once Dani found out, I think she kind of wanted to sit with [the news] herself. Then she let us know and said, ‘Hey, just so you know, I’m pregnant.’ We said, ‘Okay, great.’ I left that up to her and how much information she wanted to give us. My first reaction was, ‘That’s fantastic. Congratulations.’ Because she made it clear throughout the season that she wanted a family. The rest of that is for Dani to figure out.”

“I really don’t ask Dani much about it,” added Kelliher in a separate phone call. “I’m very aware that that she probably feels like she’s explaining herself to a lot of people. So I try and respect her privacy. We’ve spoken a little about it, but I figure the less I know the better.”

Do Daisy and Natasha eventually get to a place of mutual understanding and respect?

“I didn’t mind her,” said Kelliher. “On the show it looks like we hated each other. We were very civil with each other, and would laugh and sit with each other. It wasn’t constant arguing—that only came when it was time to serve meals…. At that stage, I had kind of given up, because I had tried everything. She didn’t want my help. She didn’t want to communicate with me…. I’m asking you if you’re serving five courses, you’re telling me no. I could stand here and keep arguing, but I wasn’t going to win in this.… We have a good relationship now. I have respect for her. But that [tension] never changes.”

What is Daisy’s read on the love triangle tensions between Gary, Sydney, and Alli?

“I wish I had been there for some of the conversations [between the three of them], because I don’t think they would have escalated as much,” said Kelliher. “I do think Sydney was pretty intense. I knew she was upset and understood why she was upset. If you’re a girl, it’s embarrassing if somebody chooses someone over you…. But some of the things she said were quite mean to Ali, and I didn’t really like that. If I had been there, that wouldn’t have happened because I wouldn’t have allowed it.”

“I’ve definitely seen love triangles. I’ve been involved in love triangles. This was intense because it escalated so quickly. I didn’t really get it. I guess maybe we’re all intense people—maybe that’s why you do a TV show about yachting. But I did find the whole thing a bit weird from all sides. I was like, ‘We’ve known each other [for] like three weeks…and don’t even know each others’ last names.’ Settle down.”

Did Chris Miller's Back Injury End His Yachting Career on 'Below Deck Sailing'?

Jun. 5 2020, Updated 1:07 p.m. ET

While some were initially tempted to watch Bravo's Below Deck franchise for the epic scenery, many continued the reality series due to the antics of the guests and the employee drama.

From showmances to entitled guests to near-death experiences on the ocean, the show has become a top hit on Bravo. It's no surprise then that it's since spurred two spinoffs: Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Sailing Yacht .

The first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht concludes on May 18, and the crew on Parsifal has experienced a lot of turmoil while sailing around Corfu, Greece. Deckhand Parker McCowan quit the boat after experiencing issues communicating with his superiors, and Chris Miller replaced him by joining mid-season. 

While his friendly demeanor won the praise of both bosun Paget Berry and captain Glenn Shepard , a back injury on the May 11 episode has threatened to derail his entire yachting career.

Where is Chris Miller from Below Deck Sailing now? Find out if the British deckhand was able to continue working on boats, or if his back issues have finally caught up with him for good. 

Where is Chris Miller from 'Below Deck Sailing' now?

Because of the physical nature of working on a yacht, any sort of injury to a deckhand can be career-ending. In the May 13 episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Chris hurt himself while moving the Seaboob from the water to the boat. He later explained that he had been dealing with back issues for years as a result of working and playing rugby.

In the teaser for the May 18 episode, Chris' back injury is potentially far more serious than either he or Captain Glenn ever anticipated. Following his admission that his back pain had become extreme, Captain Glenn enlisted the help of a Corfu doctor to take a look at the deckhand. 

"We have a problem with the nerve that comes out either out of the fifth lumbar or the first sacral vertebrae is getting squashed and that's a bad sign. That needs a MRI scan as soon as possible," the doctor told Chris on the show. "Therefore, until we see the report, he cannot work. I want complete rest from him."

While some would take the opportunity to rest in the midst of a season as a welcome break, Chris explained to the doctor and to Captain Glenn that he wants to finish out the season. 

"Let's get the ball rolling on this MRI. If there's a potential that I can work, I want to work," Chris told Captain Glenn.

While viewers will learn if Chris' injury will cost him his job on Parsifal on the May 18 episode, the deckhand has continued traveling and spending time on boats in the months since the series filmed. He has posted photos from trips to Australia and Los Angeles on his Instagram feed. He also chronicles his photography career on a separate account, @TheBeardedManTravels . 

It's unclear if Chris has continued his yachting career, and he has not discussed any issues resulting from his back injury online. Based on some of his travel shots, he's still living a very active life. He resides in Wiltshire, a county in Southwest England. 

Are Chris and Georgia from 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' dating?

Though Chris joined the cast more than halfway through the charter season, he quickly developed feelings for third stewardess Georgia Grobler. He took the South African singer on a date to get fish pedicures, and he made his intentions clear that their outing was a date.

While Georgia later admitted that she actually had feelings for Paget (whose girlfriend, Ciara Duggan is also on the show), things appear to still be amicable between her and Chris.

On May 5, Chris posted a slideshow of solo pictures of Georgia, which he captioned "That smile." He also put up a video of her singing with Paget, and a still from one of her performances.

The only showmance of the season may have been between Jenna McGillivray and Adam Glick, but at least Georgia and Chris appear to still be good friends. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs on Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Chef Marcos Spaziani shares update on head injury

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s chef Marcos Spaziani has shared an update on the head injury that he sustained while filming Season 3 of the show.

Marcos literally chopped off part of his scalp on the most recent episode of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Captain Glenn Shephard immediately sought out medical attention for the chef. The crew wondered if the injury would send chef Marcos home.

Thankfully the wound was only superficial. The doctor told him to keep the injury bandaged and frequently change the dressing.

Although his head injury wasn’t severe, Marcos was in a serious amount of pain. The talented chef didn’t let it prevent him from pulling out all his cooking skills to please Erica Rose and her husband, Charles Sanders.

Chef Marcos Spaziani shares an update on the head injury he sustained on Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Twitter was abuzz after Marcos hurt himself. One fan asked Marcos how he was doing while revealing the injury moment was stressful to watch play out.

The chef replied, “I’m better than ever.”

Another Twitter user wanted to know how long it took for Marcos’ hair to grow back after the injury. Marcos spilled it took a “few weeks.”

A different user gushed over how Marcos handled the situation, sharing other chefs would have been “whining and crying.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht chef Marcos thanks fans for their love and support

The chef used the social media platform to thank Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans for their love and support.

“Thanks everyone for show a huge support big love from me #BelowDeckSailing,” he Tweeted.

Thanks everyone for show a huge support big love from me #BelowDeckSailing pic.twitter.com/5kLtTbz5zx — MARCOS SPAZIANI (@marcos_spaziani) March 15, 2022

Charles put chef Marcos through the wringer. The chef’s tweet earned him even more love and praise from fans.

There’s no question Marcos has quickly become a Below Deck Sailing Yacht fan favorite. The new season’s only a handful of episodes in, and it’s clear, he’s beloved.

Chef Marcos from Below Deck Sailing Yacht has given fans an update on how his head healed after he cut off part of his scalp. The trailer for Season 3 featured the accident, so viewers weren’t completely surprised.

However, nothing still prepared fans for watching the horrible moment and aftermath up close. The rest of the season will document Marcos’ recovery or at least part of it. So, stay tuned for more on this hot topic.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Here’s What the Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Is Currently Up to Now

Are Jenna and Adam still together?

From a spontaneous proposal failing spectacularly to a joke about being breastfed as an adult, Sailing Yacht was as much a dramatic success as the other franchises. It also left fans wondering about what's happening to the crew since the show wrapped. Did chief stew Jenna and chef Adam stay together? What's going on with Georgia's music? And most important—is Captain Glenn really as cool as we think he is?

Here's what the cast of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is up to now:

Jenna MacGillivray

When the Canadian stepped onto the Parsifal III, fans got exactly what they hoped for in a chief stew—a no-nonsense leader who also had a romantic spot in her heart for the chef in the galley. Though her relationship with Adam Glick proved to be tumultuous, the two dated for some time after the season wrapped, even taking some time to road-trip together.

These days, Jenna is enjoying some time off from yachting, but given her recent IG pics, she's excited to come back to another charter season.

Madison Stalker

Wherever Madison went, drama always seemed to follow the second stew during season one of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht . In between epic meltdowns (including a major one between her and Jenna over her lack of enthusiasm for her job), she left the boat a better person and leaving fans ready to see more from their new favorite cast member.

Judging by her Instagram account, she's taken a break from yachting (perhaps until next season of the show).

Georgia Grobler

As good of a third stew Georgia was on deck, fans were more invested in her budding music career and growing feelings for a very taken Paget. She proved she was great at her job and could make a career out of yachting.

While it's unclear whether she stayed in the yachting industry post- Sailing Yacht , Georgia's working on music, premiering new music videos on IGTV during the quarantine.

Below Deck Med fans were so excited when Adam joined the crew as the chef for Sailing Yacht . While he abided by the preference sheets this time around, he also began a rocky romance with chief stew Jenna, making most of the crew members wonder if he was there for his job or the girl.

Since the show wrapped, Adam's busy onshore, cooking, and traveling with his adorable puppy. Oh, and Adam has a web series, Stoked , where he travels across the country to meet with local chefs and learn about their regions... all while over a campfire.

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan

If there was any couple to root for from the entire Below Deck franchise, it's Paget and Ciara. The duo made a great team on deck, and mostly kept their relationship to a minimum on cameras—a first for Bravo! As they were the most familiar with the Parsifal III, the couple was the most reliable, and fans loved seeing their relationship continue blossoming post-filming.

These days, the couple has a lot to be excited about—they're now engaged. While they're soaking up their romantic bliss, they're also still working in yachting, although it's sadly on separate boats.

Byron Hissey

As the chief engineer of Parsifal III, Byron was clearly there to just do his job. But, given how he was the only cast member to have a wife and child back home, he also became the dad of the group, taking care of the other crew members.

Since filming wrapped, it looks like Byron is back on a boat doing exactly what he does best—fixing and making sure the engines run smoothly.

Parker McCown

Relatively new to the yachting industry, fans are more likely to remember the deckhand for his enraged rant about being breastfed by his mother. While he didn't necessarily have all the skills to make it as a deckhand, he definitely had a soft spot for his ex-girlfriend Kaiti, whom he eventually left Parsifal III to go back to at home.

It looks like the decision to leave the show worked out for Parker, as he's now engaged to Kaiti and writing some tunes while onshore.

Chris Miller

As Parker's replacement for the latter half of the season, Chris proved a great deckhand and an asset to the team, all while battling an injury.

These days, Chris seems to be taking some time off from yachting to travel across Europe.

Captain Glenn Sheppard

Captain Glenn was tough, fair, and not afraid to have a good time, which both crew and guests very much appreciated.

Thankfully, his reality TV experience hasn't turned him off yachting forever. Glenn is still the captain for Parsifal III and traveling through the Mediterranean.

Below Deck Season 11, Episode 15 Recap: Kilt Bowling

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Welcome back to  Below Deck  Season 11, Episode 15. In this week’s episode, titled “We’ll Always Have Paris,” Dylan flirts with all the pretty young things on board while realizing that hooking up with a guest would get him fired. The interior department continues to butt heads with the chef , and Barbie is annoyed by Kyle’s literally “cheeky” behavior. Here are some of the highlights from Below Deck Season 11, Episode 15.

A yachting family comes aboard

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Below Deck (@belowdeckbravo)

The charter guests who are coming today have their own yacht. They’re expecting “nothing but the best.”

“We haven’t really been challenged that much so far,” says Captain Kerry. “The team needs to step up a level. No more mistakes.”

When the guests arrive, Fraser shows them around. Their yacht in Newport Beach is “only” 62 feet. The St. David is nearly 197 feet. One of the guests claims to have “boat envy.”

“This is the kind of yachting I’m used to doing,” Fraser interviews. “Working for a family, they’ve been in yachting for a while. They have lots of money. They’re bringing their kids [and their friends] on board to congratulate them for being [shrugs] their own kids. They are not like other guests we’ve had this season. I’m finally happy to have a group on board that really know how to enjoy themselves politely.”

The guys on the boat immediately take note of all the pretty girls coming on board. This could be trouble.

Paris oversteps

The first activity is a beach picnic. Chef Nick is preparing sushi, and Fraser is in his face about the presentation. He wants Nick to use a certain plate and Nick doesn’t want to plate it at all. Let the chef be the chef, Fraser.

Paris is also having trouble with Nick. On the way to the beach picnic, she tells Ben, “He’s just really stubborn.” Nick does seem a little passive-aggressive at times, calling Paris “my third favorite stew.”

At the beach, Paris and Nick get off to a bad start fighting over space. Nick feels like she’s trying to “micromanage” him. “I’ve been doing this for a long time,” he interviews. He’s got “three stripes,” while Paris only has one.

Paris asks Nick if he’s going to plate the sushi or just put it on the table. “I don’t want to have to walk around with a tray for ten minutes, asking over and over again if anyone wants anything,” she says.

“Fraser told me,” Paris interviews, “the whole plan for the beach is that it’s going to be plated. So that’s what we’re f*cking doing.”

When Chef prepares to go back to the boat to work on dinner, Paris stops him. “Hang on, we haven’t even done mains yet,” she tells him. “So I would hold off on doing that.” She’s bossy for a single-striper.

“If Paris wants to take over,” Nick interviews, “I’m not gonna stop her. I’d rather that than have an argument in front of the guests.” He’s right, of course. He needs to get back to the boat to start dinner and has “no time for this f*cking sh*t.”

Conflict in the kitchen

Back on the boat, Captain asks Nick how everything went at the beach. Nick says he had everything set up the way he wanted, and Paris changed it. Kerry’s not pleased.

“When a chef comes to the beach,” Cap says, “he has the three stripes … A single-strip stew on the beach needs to adapt to the chef, not the other way around.”

Paris tells Fraser, “You didn’t come to the beach, bitch!” You talk to your boss that way, Paris?

“That bad?” he asks.

“It was embarrassing,” she says. She tells Fraser that she overrode the way he wanted to serve the sushi and that he left early. He had to get back and cook dinner. It just doesn’t land on the plates like magic, Paris.

Captain Kerry sits in the crew mess with Fraser. “So was there some confusion on the lunch today?” he asks.

Fraser doesn’t want to make trouble. So, after a hesitation, he tells the captain, “No dramas, no tragedies. Everything’s fine. That’s all that matters.”

Kerry knows Fraser’s holding back. He’s a “little concerned,” but he’ll deal with it later.

Chef Nick is plating grilled octopus for dinner. Yum, but octopuses are very intelligent animals. It doesn’t seem right to eat them.

Nick is proud of his plating, but Paris says, “Definitely needs a drizzle.”

“I just don’t have the time or the patience right now for Paris’ sh*t,” Nick interviews. He feels like she’s trying to take over the galley, and it’s not her job. “I don’t tell her how to scrub toilets,” he adds, sarcastically.

After dinner with the guests, Kerry stops by the galley to give an attaboy to the chef. “Guests loved it, I loved it,” he tells Nick.

Dylan flirts with the girls

Up on the sundeck, Dylan is flirting with the girls in the hot tub. They decide to play Truth or Dare and begin by telling the deckhand to take off his shirt and dance for them. He goes them one better and douses himself with water ala Flashdance. It’s not so sexy when he squeals when the cold water hits his chest.

He’s so tempted by them but reminds himself that hooking up with a guest is a fireable offense. He decides to play it safe and just gets their Instagrams instead.

The next morning he’s already sending DMs to the Primary’s daughter: “Last night was fun. Sucks charter ends today. Could have seen more dance water bottle moves.”

Ugh. Dylan’s a good-looking guy, but he’s socially awkward. When he opens his mouth, he ruins the whole picture. Like Sunny said a while back, “Shhh!”

The end of the charter

As Chef Nick is cooking breakfast in the kitchen, Paris is standing next to him telling him how to do it. Really?! She’s got a lot of nerve. Stay in your lane, girl. He’s a trained cook. I think he knows what he’s doing.

“She needs to back the f*ck off,” he interviews. I agree.

All too soon, the guests are saying goodbye. It was a short charter. Rob and Noreen, the primaries, are pleased with everything, including the food which was “divine.”

“Anytime you’re in Southern California, we’d love to host you all on our boat,” Rob says. “And we’ll be your crew!” And just like that, they’re gone.

At the tip meeting, Captain says, “Excellent job. We’ve got some areas to work on, like always.” The tip is $25,000, which is a lot for an overnight charter. Nice.

“That’s $1923 each,” Kerry says. “And we’ve got a free place to stay in California.”

Peace in the galley

As everyone goes back to work, Captain calls Paris to the wheelhouse. He’s not okay with a one-stripe telling a three-stripe what to do. He’s got to get to the bottom of it.

“Darling, please don’t get yourself fired,” Fraser says as Paris heads to her meeting.

“I want to talk about beach day,” Kerry says when Paris is seated. He’s got a problem with the way Paris is pushing Nick around. “He’s got three stripes on his shoulder. You’ve got one.” It’s not her place to argue with the chef.

Paris decides to throw Fraser under the bus. “When we’re organizing for the beach,” Paris says, “I’m being told by the Chief Stew, ‘This is how we’re plating.’ I assume that that’s been discussed with the chef.” She says they’ve been “butting heads” with him and it’s “frustrating.”

“He’s the chef,” Kerry says. Any disputes should be settled between the chief stew and him, not the rest of the team.

“You guys are not to be dragged into what’s going on between them two,” Kerry adds. “Stay professional.”

Next Kerry calls Fraser and Nick to the wheelhouse. “This communication breakdown between departments,” Kerry says. “I’m not f*cking having it.”

Fraser and Nick have got to work together. “I don’t need any stews telling [Nick] how to do his job.” He wants them to work together so they both know exactly what’s happening.

“I don’t give a sh*t if you like each other or not,” Kerry says. There’s one charter left. He’s done with the nonsense.

Fraser agrees that they should plan every meal before the charter, and he’ll run all meal services going forward with his staff. He and Nick fist-bump each other and go back to work.

Willies gone wild

Everyone’s getting ready to go out. Kyle’s wearing his kilt, which I think is super hot. And, of course, he’s naked underneath. Scotsmen don’t wear anything under their kilts. That’s why the Scottish lassies love a windy day.

Barbie’s not into it. “Kyle, that’s not hot,” she says. Girl, did you never watch Outlander?! Come ON!

“I love you so much,” she adds. “But I like this part of you,” indicating his waistband up.

“What’s wrong with that?” he asks, gesturing toward his lower half.

She admits in a confessional that she’s “nervous about the kilt.” He’s not wearing anything underneath, and he likes to show his “situation.”

“I actually love that she hates it,” Kyle laughs. “I can just wind her up now with it.”

They’re off for an evening of bowling. Kyle finishes with a spare, and Ben says, “Stillie, get your willy out!” And he flashes both front and back, much to Barbie’s embarrassment.

“Sorry, not sorry,” Kyle says.

“Stop doing that,” Barbie tells him.

“Deal with it,” Kyle responds.

Barbie worries about how her family will respond. Did you know Barbie was raised in Argentina and her family’s really conservative? Enough already, Barbie. Live your life and don’t worry so much about your dad.

Finally, Kyle admits he doesn’t want to make Barbie feel uncomfortable, and he agrees not to flash anyone again.

Barbie’s developed feelings for him. She’s not sure what the future holds. But he’s not Jewish, and he can’t provide the kind of life that she wants. She doesn’t think her family will accept him.

Below Deck , Season 11 continues Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Horrifying video shows us sailing team members jump overboard as boat capsizes during practice session.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

A wild scene unfolded during the third fleet race of a practice day at the Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix this past Friday as members of Team USA went flying out of their boat after it capsized. 

As the boat reached Mark 1, the top wing of the U.S. boat was inverted, which caused it to suddenly flip over. 

Five of the six crew members on the boat for the U.S. team were sent overboard, though no serious injuries were sustained.  

It was determined that there was “user error” that caused the boat to capsize, according to data from the United States’ F50 boat. Wing trimmer Victor Diaz de Leon had pressed a button, which inverted the wing by accident. 

Diaz de Leon was attempting to flatten the wing, but he simply pushed the wrong button to do so. The button had been pressed a total of seven times, SailGP’s data team found. 

“While operating the wing, I chose the wrong function on my control panel, which caused our boat to flip. It was very scary, and I’m thankful all my teammates are safe,” Diaz de Leon said, per SailGP.com. 

While no serious injuries occurred for the team, the United States was unable to race in Bermuda due to the significant damage their F50 took from the capsizing. 

The team couldn’t repair the boat in time for official racing.

Taylor Canfield’s United States squad currently ranks seventh out of 10 squads in season 4 of SailGP this season. 

They own 49 points, while the leaders, Peter Burling’s New Zealand squad, have 77 points on the year.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Below deck’s barbie pascual reveals current relationship status with kyle stillie (spoilers), below deck's ben willoughby is furious as he makes major accusation against captain kerry.

• Fans spotted a funny editing fail in the latest episode of Below Deck season 11, revealing a "Reserved Courtyard, Film Crew + Cast Only" sign.
• Editing plays a huge role in shaping the crew's reputation on Below Deck, as seen in Chief Stew Fraser's negative portrayal.
• Fans likely understand the challenges of editing Below Deck with huge amounts of footage.

Viewers of Below Deck season 11 recently discovered a cool filming detail. The latest edition of the popular yachting show has been full of chaotic drama , featuring numerous rivalries and unexpected departures. When Below Deck season 11 began, fans saw Stew Barbie Pascual feuding with fellow Stew Cat Baugh. They also witnessed former Bosun Jared Woodin coping with too many family problems that led to his departure. Most recently, Chief Stew Fraser Olender called out Chef Nick Tatlock's culinary skills. Fraser's complaining attitude kept coming across as annoying .

Below Deck season 11, episode 14, featured the crew partying in a courtyard. It seemed like a normal scene, but a Reddit user noticed a little filming detail that the editors didn't cut out.

One of the scenes in the most recent episode of Below Deck season 11 showed Deckhand Dylan Pierre De Villiers and his lead, Marie "Sunny" Marquis, walking together. But Reddit user @Ok_Bear375 noticed something that seemed out of place.

The shot featured the courtyard background alongside a blackboard that said, "Reserved Courtyard, Film Crew + Cast Only." The board only appeared for a brief moment. However, some fans noticed it, and one of them posted a screenshot of it on Reddit.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Below Deck Fans React To Major Onscreen Editing Fail

The editors of below deck rarely make editing mistakes.

While the OP found the board funny, other fans pointed out it was probably an editing fail . Redditor @VotingRightsLawyer commented, "It's honestly surprising stuff like this doesn't slip past them more often," praising the editing crew for their work. Another Redditor, @mostlygroovy , wrote, "This show is losing me," showing disappointment that everything feels so staged in Below Deck season 11. Someone even pointed out a good reason why the crew reserved a filming location. Redditor @glassbath18 said, "They used to go out normally and mingle with everyone at the bar. It led to some messy situations."

Below Deck 's editing has always been a point of discussion. Chief Stew Fraser seemed like a decent guy who could handle his job in the last season. However, Below Deck season 11's editing shows him in a completely different light, making him look like a villain in every instance. Some of Fraser's worst moments showed him feuding with his junior, Barbie, for no particular reason. He also defended Cat's poor performance, which may have caused a big blunder if she hadn't left the show. While Bravo doesn't script Below Deck , editing plays a big role in making or breaking the crew's reputation .

Fans are right about Below Deck 's latest edit fail and understand why such a slip happened. They know that editing isn't easy, especially considering the sheer volume of footage.

Below Deck typically aired around 20 episodes per season, which add up to 900 minutes of footage. However, the total length of a season is nothing compared to how much content the camera crew usually films. Previously, Screen Rant covered Captain Lee's comments from 2022, where he revealed that the crew shot 45,000 hours of film . Talented editors later turned that footage into an entertaining Below Deck season.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
