I'm also showing a new WWHL episode each night, Monday and Tuesday that says Reunion. So 4 parts of reunion?

Useful

I would delete it from my DVR but the sensible thing would be to just let it record & see what it is just in case.

LOL

It's almost amusing to see the crew throw each other under the bus.  Or yacht.

Daisy can't take criticism and nothing is her fault.

Gary is still the ultimate narcissist who thinks he's the most important crew member.  He's still in mega-competition with Colin, even though the season ended weeks ago.

The engine fiasco is revisited, but like I said from Day One, the crew just didn't pay proper attention to general engineering procedures before the show started.  To add insult to injury, sound problems interrupted the reunion show when they were talking about it!

Hard to believe the reunion show would try to have a go at Ileisha, who was the shining jewel of the season.  She never put a foot wrong and never got a complaint.  Also sorry that Chase didn't get anywhere with Ileisha, even after she ended things with her boyfriend.  Sounds like they circled the waters with each other, but nothing came of it, alas.

Gary complains about Chase's personality?  Pull the other one.  

Alex does a fantastic impression of Gary!

And we have to relive the whole Gary/Mads/Alex drama?  Hopefully there's more to Part 2....

I hope they get to the bottom of the Daisy/Colin break up.  She is rolling her eyes at everything he says.

Quote I can't seem to get rid of this quote box!

I've enjoyed the pointed questions at Gary.  He has a lot to answer to this season and I'm glad he is being put on the spot.

Applause

Why wear a fancy dress to a zoom call? Sitting down in front of a webcam, the dresses aren't flattering. 

Ooh, Daisy is angry. Colin is coming across like a dick, and Gary's trying (but failing) to keep everything light & surface-y.

Really enjoying Alex & his facial expressions. He seemed almost stunned when Andy finally let him speak. 

I was a little shocked to hear that Ileisha & Chase gave it a go. I didn't see that one coming.

I think Daisy and Gary were in the same hotel room in Spain. Why else would Daisy be filming in the bathroom?

Daisy is really angry with Colin, I didn't think that Colin was being a dick, I think he is pissed as well. Daisy has been super passive aggressive on SM and I think he is tired of it and ready to get his side out there.

Love

You might be on to something - they did do that once before for a reunion if I remember correctly.  

I like the show for Colin and Daisy and they were both irritating last night.  So, good job show!  I don't know if I can take whatever petty arguments ensue  next week tonight.  It is odd they are running through the shows so quickly, and it looks like they are going to double up Down Under eps weekly too.

iMonrey

Man, whatever happened between Daisy and Colin after the show ended, they are obviously saving for Part 2. Daisy made a stink face every time Colin's name was even mentioned, and clearly Colin had a falling out with Gary too.

To be fair, Andy spent much of the first fifteen minutes going after Daisy, so I'm not surprised how defensive she was. And yeah, it's highly suspicious she and Gary are both in Spain.

Gary is a self-involved twit. I cannot believe he never watched any of the seasons. He was black-out drunk for half of it, he might find it enlightening. I think he probably got dragged on social media early on and has been in denial of his behavior ever since. Refusing to actually watch the shows is an easy way of staying in denial. He gets to have his own version of it in his head.

Just judging by what we saw here, I'd say it's a safe bet Sailing Yacht has seen the last of both Daisy and Colin. I can't imagine either coming back after this.

I get a kick out of Glenn trying to play the diplomat.

2 hours ago, Arynm said: I think Daisy and Gary were in the same hotel room in Spain. Why else would Daisy be filming in the bathroom?

The door over Daisy's left shoulder had a floor map on it, which would have exited to the hallway.  I've been in hotels where the "bathroom" was just a glassed-in area of the room (saving space and making the "bedroom" area larger, was not a fan of that kind of layout).  I think Daisy and Gary were in separate hotel rooms but I did think it was odd that they were both in "Spain" while everyone else had their city identified.

I could watch a whole hour of this, not a Daisy fan.

22 minutes ago, TazDevil said: I think Daisy and Gary were in separate hotel rooms but I did think it was odd that they were both in "Spain" while everyone else had their city identified.

Yes! We know they are filming the next season, so my guess is they are trying to keep it under wraps.

There are so many questions about Gary and Daisy being together on this reunion, I posted a spoiler on the media thread. DON'T go there unless you want to be heartbroken...

xhoipolloix

Seems highly suspect that Gary didn't watch the season. It's a convenient way for him to deflect criticism and avoid rehashing his mistakes.

I agree!  Gary seems very narcissistic - no way would he miss an opportunity to see himself on TV.  Why do a TV show if you have no intention of watching yourself when the show airs?  

That was a bullshit excuse for him to not take accountability for his shitty behavior.  

4 hours ago, Mr. Miner said: I could watch a whole hour of this, not a Daisy fan.

I’m not really either, and I really don’t understand her appeal. I asked my husband what it was and he said “She’s fun”. I said, “Daisy, the Irish lady seems like fun to you?” And he said “Yes”.  My husband is under her spell too!

OMG!!!!! Chase and his doggie are awesome!!! I have a wienie dog as well!!!!

I've always liked Daisy's fun attitude with male and female staff. She always appears supportive and unlike some yacht chiefs stews. Other than that, this is the first time I've seen anyone openly pursuing her from the crew (aside from Gary's flirtations). She probably thought, I'm 36 and not in this career much longer, so I'm lletting my hair down. But now they're lambasting her? 

Iknow she gets defensive when she's initially confronted or criticized, but she always reflects on it and then comes around. And she usually brings it up or goes to the person directly. I don't understand what's going on with this reunion. Judging by some reactions and quips, I think there's a lot of emotional residue, more so than anyone's letting on.

12 hours ago, TexasGal said: I like the show for Colin and Daisy and they were both irritating last night.  So, good job show!   

Same, this is a disappointment for me as I really enjoyed Colin and Daisy. But, they always advise not to sleep with co-workers, or crudely put ... Don't sh** where you eat.

I watched this one and then immediately followed up with part 2. Add me to the tin foil hat wearers who think Daisy and Gary were in the same hotel.  Not just that they were both in "Spain," but because Daisy was doing her Zoom reunion in the bathroom?  WTH?   Even if the lighting was phenomenal in there, just why?  

I've watched both reunion shows so I'm going to be very careful about posting the right thing in the right thread.

Daisy was really sucking down that wine, wasn't she?  I watched as the level in the glass got lower and lower, and it seemed like the editors showed every time she took a sip.

I figured something out with the recent death of Jane Birkin.  Stick with me here.  She famously recorded a version of Je t'aime... moi non plus (the sex song) with Serge Gainsbourgh, her lover.  That made me think of Brigitte Bardot recording the same song with Gainsbourgh.  And THAT made me think of this: Mads was totally channeling Brigitte Bardot with her Reunion outfit, hair, makeup, etc.

Brigitte Bardot / Serge Gainsbourgh - See 0:24 and 0:44

If it wasn't intentional, it was still true.

Absolutely!  And I think she pulled it off!

When is the below deck sailing yacht season 4 reunion.

Bravo TV finally confirmed the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 reunion and revealed a teaser along with the day and date of the two-part reunion.

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 reunion is just around the corner, and here’s everything to know about when and where to watch it. Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been all about a new crew and new demanding charter guests as Captain Glenn Shephard set sail with them in a new luxury sailing yacht to explore the extraordinary Sardinia, Italy. The Parsifal III visiting a new location did not mean that the seas were going to be calmer or free of controversy.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht returned with a brand-new season, with the Parsifal III facing new challenges. Captain Glenn, who has been at the helm of the ship for over a decade, was joined once again by Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, First Mate Gary King, and Chief Engineer Colin MacRae . One love triangle stole the show, while an off-screen fallout between cast members kept viewers talking. However, now that the reunion episodes are confirmed, fans will get to see the cast's thoughts and reactions to the season.

When Is The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Reunion?

A teaser for the nail-biting reunion episode has been shared by BravoTV , which revealed everything about what to expect at The Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 reunion. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 reunion will air on Monday, July 17 at 9:08 p.m. ET, following the premiere of Below Deck Down Under season 2.

What Time Is The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Reunion?

What To Expect On Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Reunion?

The minute-long teaser for the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 reunion shows the cast reuniting in a virtual format with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live . “ Shocking new revelations ” are in store, along with “ a whole lot more. ” This involves the cast discussing the love triangle between Gary, Daisy, and Colin . Colin is about to reveal something that “ nobody knows ,” while an angry Daisy asks him, “ Why don’t we go back to season 2. ” At one point, Colin appears to make Daisy cry.

“ This is why the relationship turned toxic, you can’t reason with this woman ,” he says. At the same time, the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 reunion will also address the relationship between Gary and Mads Herrera as he calls it “ strange ” and confesses, “ She would come and climb into my bed every night and try to have sex with me. ” Joining the rest of the cast for the reunion are Captain Glenn, Chef Ileisha Dell, Lucy Edmunds, Chase Lemacks, and Alex Propson. The teaser promises there’s not a minute of the reunion that should be missed.

A Great Chief Stew Keeps 'Below Deck' Afloat

We love our 'Below Deck' Chief Stews!

The Big Picture

  • Chief Stews like Kate Chastain keeps Below Deck exciting with vibrant personalities and skills.
  • Fans have seen stews rise to become chief stews, like Aesha Scott and Fraser Olender.
  • The chief stew is essential to the success of the franchise, serving as the lifeline of the charter season.

While the captain may be steering the boat, it's the chief stew that keeps the yacht going! On Below Deck and its various spin-offs, fans have always taken a liking to Chief Stew. Whether it's figuring out how to make the impossible possible or handling the worst of the worst guests, the chief stew keeps Below Deck exciting . Some of the best in the reality show franchise have included Kate Chastain , Aesha Scott , and Fraser Olender . Their vibrancy and skills have kept viewers coming back for more , and dreaming of a chance to attend one of their amazing yacht parties!

Since the flagship series debuted on Bravo in 2013, Below Deck has been a fans' chance to get an inside glimpse of work life on the high seas. Spawning four spin-off series, Below Deck has been sailing strong as one of the top franchises on the network. Each series follows a crew of yachties as they spend a season chartering the highfalutin through exotic and picturesque locales. Displaying the on and off the super yacht antics, fans have fallen in love with the various cast members who have brought their work to the screen. Each charter features a captain who leads the crew. The exterior team comprises a bosun, sometimes a first officer, and a handful of deckhands. In the interior, the team comprises a series of stewardesses or stewards, led by the chief stewardess, lovably known as the chief stew. Throughout the various series of Below Deck , fans often have found their closest bond to the chief stew as they tend to be the most hands-on with the charter guests, handling their wild and outlandish requests. As proven season after season, a good chief stew keeps the ship's sanity and the program sailing. And it seems the c hief stews with the longest tenures have stood the test of time thanks to their rapport with both the crew and the guests , all while maintaining a confident and professional demeanor.

Kate Chastain Is the Gold Standard of Chief Stews Across 'Below Deck'

Even though Captain Lee Rosbach has been the longest-lasting cast member in the Below Deck cinematic universe, it is Kate Chastain who has seemingly been the face of the franchise. And for good reason! Joining the crew during Below Deck Season 2, Kate didn't necessarily have big shoes to fill. Like any great reality television program, the first season of the franchise had some major growing pains to overcome. As viewers had to learn just how life on a super yacht works, they were introduced to a cast of characters that were tasked to balance work and filming a reality show. In Season 1, fans saw the interior led by Adrienne Gang , who spent the season struggling to cement power among her team and bond with the rest of the yachties. She was super serious and often lacked a personal connection. In the real world, she would likely be a top tier hire, but she just didn't click for the program. For Season 2, she was replaced with Kate, and while it took some time for her to grow a working relationship with Captain Lee and Chef Ben Robinson , fans were taken by her snark and her ability to keep things exciting. Maybe she didn't always do things appropriately. Just look back at the "rocket ship" blanket. What she did was keep things entertaining for the guests and the fans.

‘Below Deck's' David Bradberry Discusses Sexual Exploitation by Abercrombie & Fitch ex-CEO

Kate Chastain has become the gold standard for Chief Stews on Below Deck , no matter which version. Though she has passed her stripes over to new stews, Kate was a part of the flagship program from Season 2 through Season 7. Season after season, Kate has had a revolving door of stews working for her. And not all of them were the best. Kate was determined to be a professional manager, even if her employees could not work at her standards. Kate has had some gold star stews. While she did have a rocky start with Amy Johnson on Below Deck Season 2, they were a formidable pair a season later. Emily Warburton-Adams was a saint for Kate during Season 4. Despite some distractions during Season 5, Brianna Adekeye was the dream 2nd Stew for Kate. But her greatest bond was with a male stew on Season 6, Josiah Carter , who was a professionally trained butler. But for every Amy, Emily, Brianna, or Josiah, Kate suffered with some drama queens. It seems that for every good stew, there was one bad stew on the interior. How Kate was able to keep sane while handling Rocky Dakota in Season 3 is anybody's guess. Had there not been so much drama with the sudden crew turnaround,

Kate Had Run-insWith both Crew and Guests

Rocky would likely have been fired. Instead, Kate bit her tongue as best she could while Rocky stepped in as chef, pouring grenadine on oysters, becoming a boy magnet, toying with ever-so-sweet Emile Kotze , and being a homewrecker to fan favorite Eddie Lucas ' relationship. Season 5 was a season of unfortunate mistakes, as a good portion of the crew lacked experience. And such was the case with Jennifer Howell . Jen, a wonderful mother, was quite lazy and did nothing but irk Kate, who was forced to micromanage everything Jen needed to do. With Josiah being a near-perfect employee for Kate, she had trouble with 3rd Stew Caroline Bedol . Between her bed rest due to her foot injury and giving a two-day notice that turned into a few hours, Caroline was more of a burden and couldn't handle the pressure. Sadly for Kate, Caroline was replaced by Laura Betancourt , who was nothing but a know-it-all and tried to go toe-to-toe with Kate, who immediately put her in her place. Her previous Chief Stew status was nothing on Kate. No matter who Kate had on her team, she managed to succeed, charter after charter. Captain Lee adored Kate, trusting her with everything that needed to be done.

Viewers Should Pay Attention to 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen'

Whether it was the Caribbean or Tahiti, Kate was faced with some of the most incredulous charter guests. And some of those guests came back for more! Part of why these wealthy guests had a desire to return was the experience on board. Their onboard experience can only be credited to the work that Kate and her various teams provided. Oftentimes, she was able to make the impossible possible. One of the most prominent recurring guests was the infamous Dean Slover . Of course, Kate and Mr. Slover came to form their love-hate bond thanks to her phallic-shaped folded blanket on his bed. While Captain Lee was furious and was fearful that it would lead to a reduced tip, Dean Slover was a lover of the joke, and expected an artistic gift on his bed during every charter he was on. He became her charter soulmate as they developed a shorthand.

Unlike Chef Ben who was always receiving a lashing due to the specifically timed meals. Parties are essential on charters. Most of the time they were reasonable, but when the foam wasn't foaming, Kate had to make it up. His appearance in Season 3 was a headache for the crew, so when his name came up during the Season 6 preference sheet meeting, Kate was already prepared. Despite that, his rowdy and demanding behavior resulted in another problematic trip. His flirtatious nature went beyond appropriate, and Kate sadly let her stew stay in the line of fire. No matter what, she's Kate the Great! And Below Deck fans were saying," we told you so," after her two-season star turn on The Traitors .

Rising in the ranks is true in any industry. Not every chief stew starts on Below Deck in the top position. Fans have been allowed to watch some of their favorites develop on the show, and turn into stews before their eyes as they are hired as chief stews on future seasons, or even future franchises! One of the absolute fan-favorite cast members in the Below Deck cinematic universe is Aesha Scott . The bubbly and high-energy New Zealander first came to fame in the fourth season of Below Deck Mediterranean . She was a hard worker, dedicated to her craft. However she did find love on the open seas. And when trouble was bubbling under the water in Season 5, Aesha was called in to serve as a replacement. As a fan favorite, Aesha was tapped to lead her own Below Deck spin off, serving as the chief stew for seasons 1 and 2 of Below Deck Down Under .

Now at the top of the Stew food chain, Aesha, once again, proved why she is one of the most beloved yachties in Below Deck history. Aesha was personable with everyone, even if she had a troublemaker in the galley with Chef Ryan McKeown . Her bond with Captain Jason Chambers mirrored the close bond Kate Chastain had with Captain Lee. Fans often speculated a budding romance between Aesha and Captain Jason. It was a relationship they wanted to ship off the ship. Aesha was a team player and encouraged the best from her team. She was so strong at her job, she even brilliantly trained a future chief stew, Tumi Mhlongo , who would journey over to Below Deck Mediterranean for Season 8. Though unlike Aesha, Tumi was much stricter, turning off some Below Deck fans in the process.

Andy Cohen Is Right, Don't Come On 'Housewives' If You Have Something to Hide

Below Deck reflects the real world of yachting, displaying what life aboard a yacht might be like in the real world. In general, gender roles play greatly into the employment of certain positions in the yachting industry. On Below Deck Mediterranean , Captain Sandy Yawn was the ferocious first female captain in the Below Deck franchise. She came in with a purpose, to prove that it doesn't have to be in a male-dominated position. While Below Deck did have male stewards, history was made during Season 10 when Fraser Olender became the first male chief stew. And he has proven that he is the official new face of the flagship franchise. Originally joining the crew as a second stew during Season 9, Fraser proved his worth and his ability, so that Captain Lee invited him to serve as the chief stew on the St. David. As fans remember, Captain Lee had a difficult tenth season as he struggled with some severe nerve issues. He had to temporarily leave the charter season to get better. And who better to serve as his substitute than Captain Sandy?

Even though both Captain Sandy and Fraser were groundbreaking when it came to historic hires for Below Deck , they were at odds often during her tenure. She even broke him down to the point where he seemed like a sad puppy trying to do right. Despite that, Fraser was a seasoned professional and ensured that his guests had the best experiences possible. Fraser has an impeccable work ethic, yet still finds a way to entertain himself and his fellow crew. His bond with Chef Rachel Hargrove and stew Haley De Sola Pinto always found a way to let steam off, enjoying the experience in the process. He may not be as strict as Kate was, but like Kate, he's had some terrible stews under him. He somehow managed to handle the mess that was Camille Lamb and Alissa Humber drama during Season 10. For Below Deck , Season 11 was a major transition season as it marked the first season without Captain Lee fully at the helm. Captain Kerry Titheradge transitioned over from Below Deck Adventure to take over. With a new captain, it made sense that Fraser returned as Chief Stew. Below Deck is in more than capable hands with Fraser Olender. His legacy is just beginning.

Below Deck is a beloved Bravo series. And it's thanks to some of the brilliant characters the fans have met along the way. In the history of the franchise, there have been many more other Chief Stews that have been monumental and could easily be discussed in this article. Good thing that the franchise isn't going anywhere anytime soon! Without a great Chief Stew, the charter season would fail. And with a failed season, comes a bad season on Below Deck . The chief stew is the lifeline of the franchise.

Below Deck airs on Mondays on Bravo. It's available to stream on Peacock the next day.
