Below Deck fans know that there is always a point in the season when all hell breaks loose…and it looks like, predictably, the yachties of Season 11 are about to experience some of that pure chaos. In the gripping mid-season trailer for Bravo’s flagship Below Deck series, the crew of the motor yacht St. David is straight-up losing it as it appears that everything is going wrong. Captain Kerry Titheradge encourages his crew to embrace the “ups and downs” of the charters so far, and he reminds his team that they “don’t do [yachting] because it’s easy.” Titheradge’s wise words seem to fall on deaf ears, however. Chef Anthony Iracane breaks down in the very next scene. “I’m so tired,” he says weakly. Next, we see the distraught chef in his cabin. “I’m not good enough to be on this boat,” he cries as he rubs his head with his hands in despair.
Next to break down is Stew Barbie Pascual, who bemoans the state of her strained working relationship with Chief Stew Fraser Olender. “Everybody here knows there’s shit going between me and Fraser,” Pascual confides as scenes of her stressed-out, crying and scowling at Olender play out. When Olender glares at her during an excursion, Pascual asks him point-blank, “Do you want me to go?” The camera than cuts to Olender’s confessional as he states, “I’d rather have no sleep than have to look at your face every morning.” Way harsh!
After Titheradge is shown raging at Bosun Ben Willoughby for his “blatant disrespect” and Stew Xandi Oliver is seen throwing a fit in the back of a van during a late night out, fans are treated to a montage of the yachties falling down as dramatic music plays. Suddenly, a familiar face appears: the notoriously picky Real Housewives of New York alum Jill Zarin. When Zarin critiques the service (“This is a buffet meal. This shouldn’t be a 3-hour meal”) and urges the staff to “make it better,” the yachties continue scrambling. The trailer also teases the arrival of a mysterious new Stew who catches the eye of both Willoughby and Deckhand Kyle Stillie. “Bloody hell, I’m in trouble,” Willoughby says to the camera as his “shipuationship,” Sunny Marquis, watches his every move.
To add to the mayhem, Pascual’s and Stillie’s relationship seems to be heating up as the two are shown flirting and making out. The trailer ends with a stern looking Titheradge addressing an unseen crew member. “The issue is you’re not thriving,” says Titheradge. “If you’re not all encompassing and adding value to the rest of the crew, I can’t have you here.” So, who is Titheradge addressing? Tune in to the rest of Below Deck Season 11 to find out!
