Below Deck Chef Ben Robinson Has A New Girlfriend

Below Deck Mediterranean Chef Ben Robinson Debuts New Girlfriend

We’ve met a lot of chefs on Below Deck.  The turnaround is not as high as the deck or interior crew positions, but most of them have left after one season.  Sometimes, as in the case of Mila Kolomeitseva and Leon Walker, they don’t even the last the season.  In both cases, Ben Robinson stepped in to finish the job.

Ben is the OG chef of the franchise.  He was cast in season 1 of Below Deck, back in the days of Adrienne Gang.  When Adrienne left, the glorious Kate Chastain filled the Chief Stew position and the rest was divine reality TV history.  Kate and Ben had a fun, flirty rapport that also included a lot of dry wit and sarcasm.  Ben also has my approval for turning down Below Deck Mediterranean chief stew Hannah Ferrier.  Ben decided to leave yachting for a while after finding love on board with Emily Warburton-Adams.  He has been quiet about his love life since they broke up in 2017.  Now, Ben is sharing a new romance.

Kate Chastain Says She Never Trusted Simone Mashile And Her Talking Behind Kate’s Back Confirmed Her Suspicions

Kate Chastain Says She Never Trusted Simone Mashile

This season of Below Deck started out so calm and cool in scorching hot Thailand. For a change, chief stew Kate Chastain was not letting anything ruffle her feathers for long. Kate’s inevitable ruffling initially came in the form of chef Kevin Dobson, who seemed to take an almost instant dislike to her. Kevin even called out her service in front of Captain Lee Rosbach during a tip meeting. Shockingly, Kate did not exact immediate revenge on Kevin.

Kate’s other source of consternation has been second stew Simone Mashile, who has expressed that she wants more responsibility. Kate has made it clear she doesn’t think Simone is a very good second stew, as she did not even know how to open a bottle of wine. Things went from bad to worse this week when a shady Kate gave second stew stripes to Courtney Skippon–in front of Simone! Kate said it was “both a reward for Courtney and a punishment for Simone.” So, where does all this leave Simone and Kate?

Below Deck Star Kate Chastain Explains Why She’d Rather Work With Chef Leon Walker Over Kevin Dobson

Below Deck Star Kate Chastain Explains Why She’d Rather Work With Chef Leon Walker Over Kevin Dobson

Kate Chastain has been on Below Deck so long now, that she can comment on the ghosts of seasons past.  It’s been a bumpy road for sure between some of the stews she’s had to deal with, not to mention chefs.  Adrian Martin was a gem and though Ben Robinson flustered in the galley on a regular basis, he and Kate had a rapport for sure.

This season, Kevin Dobson has been making life hell for not only Kate, but her interior team as well as deck hand Rhylee Gerber.  There’s plenty of snark to go around.  And unlike the incident where he was a plate short and couldn’t serve Captain Lee Rosbach, there are enough helpings for everyone.

Below Deck Star Kate Chastain Talks Storming Off The Boat & Disappointing Captain Lee Rosbach

Kate & Captain Lee

So happy Kate Chastain is back in our lives. If nothing else, Chief Stew Kate is also Chief Stew of Snark. I applaud her continued efforts on behalf of snarkers everywhere. Thankfully Kate has returned for the new season of Below Deck, we’re in Thailand where it is hot and sticky, but the local food is worth multiple bug bites from questionable insects.

The show is making another voyage on the high seas and we are already one episode down. Thanks to #editingbybravo the foreshadowing is on the wall for future troubles the crew will face. When the highly anticipated trailer for the new season was released, viewers saw Kate storming off the vessel whilst advising abdmonimally challenged chef Kevin Dobson to find a new chief stew. Now Kate explains why she peaced out on the chef, and the disappointment she inflicted on Captain Lee Rosbach.

Expect A Ben Robinson Return, Hookups, & Tears On The Rest Of Below Deck Mediterranean This Season

Below Deck Mediterranean Mid-Season Trailer Released

The Below Deck Mediterranean season thus-far has given us unprecedented reality TV moments. Mila Kolomeitseva served Taco Bell-style food on a luxury  Jack Stirrup spit into Aesha Scott’s belly button.  He’ll soon be sucking her toes too, as evidenced by the footage in the mid-season trailer.

Whatever your thoughts about the quirky courtship of Jack and Aesha, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.  The trailer is a great teaser of hookups, tears, and drunken antics.  But the most exciting moment comes at the very end when a very familiar voice is says, “hello lovelies.”

Say It Ain’t So! Chef Ben Robinson Will Not Return To Below Deck!

Below Deck Season 4

It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you: Ben Robinson, cheeky chef and low-key Lothario of the high seas, will not be returning to Below Deck next season. Oh the humanity! One season of crankiness and now he’s OUT?! The Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean star reportedly had contract negotiation issues with Bravo, though details are vague.

With Kate Chastain facing legal fallout from the domestic battery charge brought against her last year, and now Ben’s abrupt departure from the franchise, one has to wonder: Will there be a whole cast shakeup? I’ve just got one request for Bravo – people, we beg you, no more Chef Beefcheeks! Leon Walker is no beuno, no matter how hard up casting might be.

Catching Up With The Below Deck Crew: Where Are They Now?

Ben-Robinson-Kate-Chastain-Captain-Lee-Fundraiser-Below-Deck

Since we were royally shafted out of a Below Deck reunion this year, Bravo is throwing us a (very tiny) bone by way of a catch-up blog, highlighting what the crew has been up to since cameras stopped rolling and regrets they have from their days aboard Valor.

A few juicy details are revealed, but maddeningly, Kyle Dixon spills absolutely no beans about his shady shenanigans of late. Thus, we must continue to stalk him on social media for answers. Sigh. #TheTruthIsOutThere

Kate Chastain left the season on a low note with former friend and sometime-lover, Ben Robinson. Since then, though, she admits that she’s seen Ben from time to time – and that he’s had more than one lady friend by his side over the past months! What? Bemily is OVER? Say it ain’t so!
