Below Deck Recap: Smash And Burn, Bro!

by Mary McClelland on November 19th, 2019

It was party like it’s 1999 on last night’s Below Deck. 1999 being the year the charter guests graduated from Florida State’s School of Beerlegience. Aaahhh… reliving the glory days. Gross.

I don’t know why one would pay tens of thousands of dollars to charter a yacht in Thailand with the sole purpose of getting trashed, but then not have the decency to learn how to say “Let’s get lit!” in Thai. So gauche. And seriously these people yelled that approximately every 15 seconds. The mating call of over-the-hill frat boys everywhere!

The other problem is Smashton, aka the alter ego of Ashton Pienaar, the idea for which he stole from Joao Franco. And honestly, you never want to take any ideas from Joao. Smashton shoved his tongue down Kate Chastain‘s throat and that make Kate angry. And you won’t like Kate when she’s angry.

A New Deckhand Joins The Crew Of Valor On Tonight’s Below Deck!

by Mary McClelland on November 18th, 2019

If we thought previous Below Deck guests came ready to party we haven’t seen anything until tonight’s Florida State University alums get on board Valor! Drunk and disorderly seem to be putting it nicely.

While Kate Chastain struggles to retain control of an unruly charter, she’s further challenged by Simone Mashile being distracted by a crush on Tanner Sterback. Simone already feels in over her head with service, and then is forced to handle an overly flirtatious attentions from a guest.

Below Deck Star Captain Lee Rosbach Hopes Ashton Pienaar Doesn’t Have A “Repeat Performance” Of His Drunken Antics

by Karolina on November 18th, 2019

Watching Ashton Pienaar partying and flirting last season on Below Deck was significantly more entertaining than it is on Season 7. Mainly because he had some willing participants to his answer his mating call. But, also, Ashton was not in a management position. So if a crew member turned him down, it was still a level playing field.

As Bosun, Ashton made the inappropriate decision to try and hook up with deckhand Abbi Murphy initially. Then Abbi left to marry her, “Greek f–k buddy,” Ashton has moved on to unwilling Second Stew Courtney Skippon mere hours after she went on a date with Brian de Saint Pern. And the result could be described as sloppy at best.

Captain Lee Rosbach Says Abbi Murphy Liked Nothing About Below Deck Except For Tip Day; Wishes Her The Best

by Karolina on November 18th, 2019

Abbi Murphy didn’t fancy herself to be cut out for yachting life on Below Deck. Maybe it was the amount of work required of the job. Clearly, the uniform changes were an issue. She seemed to be doing ok except for a few hiccups, but Abbi really psyched herself out and quit before things deteriorated further within the deck crew.

The truly amusing aspect of her departure, though, was Abbi’s anxiety about being asked to leave the boat. Was she expecting to stay? Where should she go? What should she do? Chief Stew Kate Chastain suggested getting to the airport, which seemed reasonable. But Abbi continued feeling insecure about her literal next moves after Captain Lee Rosbach asked her to leave.

Below Deck Recap: Hounds From The Pound

by Mary McClelland on November 12th, 2019

On last night’s Below Deck hair-brained deckhand Abbi Murphy up and left to sail off into her future. Actually it was more like she got dropped off at a random dock somewhere outside of Phuket with a “good luck” from Captain Lee Rosbach. Don’t double-cross this guy!

Mid-Charter Abbi starts having some sort of breakdown over the slide. Which has destroyed the soul of many a deckhand. At that moment, as if her massive red hair parted to reveal a message of clarity: it was time to leave Valor.

Ashton Pienaar is shocked, but probably also relieved. Babysitting Abbi all day was interfering with his ability to manage the rest of his team, but alas, they’ll be down a deckhand on a massive boat. Captain Lee is about the only one who seems upset, mainly because he envisions himself some sort of high seas professional development coach who can whip anyone and everyone into a yachtie.

Captain Lee Rosbach & Abbi Murphy Have Words On Twitter After She Quits Below Deck

by Reality Tea on November 12th, 2019

It wasn’t exactly shocking when Abbi Murphy left Below Deck. She just got engaged via text message. She wasn’t exactly a quick study when it came to the deckhand tasks. And she probably started to run out of hair ties.

It was rough timing when she quit though. Tanner Sterback was in bed with a stomach bug for days and it was just Ashton Pienaar and Brian de Saint Pern on deck. Abbi offered to stick it out until Tanner was feeling better, but Captain Lee Rosbach wasn’t having it. He gave Abbi her passport and she left the boat. That wasn’t the end of it though. Thank you, Twitter.

Is Abbi Murphy Quitting Below Deck During Tonight’s Episode?!

by Mary McClelland on November 11th, 2019

Last week it appeared that Abbi Murphy was poised to permanently leave Below Deck to marry her Greek sailboat captain boyfriend after an impromptu text proposal.

We know Abbi did in fact get married, but it also appears that she leaves the show over frustrations with the insane amount of work required to make pampered nouveau riche guests believe no demand is too outrageous!

Below Deck Star Captain Lee Rosbach Critiques Ashton Pienaar For Letting Abbi Murphy Sleep Off Her Hangover Instead Of Working

by Karolina on November 11th, 2019

It’s been interesting to watch newly-promoted Bosun Ashton Pienaar on Season 7 of Below Deck. Maybe he really deserved the job. Or perhaps Ashton’s advancement had something to do with him nearly dying on camera last season. It remains to be seen how Ashton will fare as bosun, but he has already made some questionable management decisions, such as trying to hook up with deckhand Abbi Murphy.

Then there are the more subtle things. Ashton seems to be straddling the fence between boss and friend. It’s certainly a harder situation when you live in close quarters with your co-workers.
