Watch Below Deck Down Under Streaming Now on Peacock. New episodes every Thursday: pck.tv/3HaQCCc
The crew starts to fall apart when difficult guests make demands for dinner. They are displeased that raw fish is on the menu, so Chef Ryan McKeown gets defensive and thinks Aesha Scott needs to handle these guests more appropriately. (Season 1 Episode 5).
Synopsis: Set against the stunning backdrop of the tropical Whitsunday Islands and world-famous Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Australia, the Peacock Original series Below Deck Down Under explores the complex, often explosive dynamics of the crew and a rotating group of demanding charter guests on M/Y Thalassa.

Some of these yacht charters cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per week. If a person wants scrambled eggs, then make them eggs for crying out loud. Some of these egos are incredible.

[@FilmSureelist97]

Funny about their egos, where I live the yacht crews have a reputation for being loud and self-indulgent. They think that because their workplaces are yacht's worth millions, that they are superior.

This is the first chef who has no clue what lane he is in . He consistently is put in a defensive position and also of catching up when all he has to do is WAKE UP , look around and know where he is working , look to enjoy making food for the charter guests ….. the food is literally the main focus of these yachting experiences! It also puts more work on the rest of the crew with his awful attitude. This chef has no business being on a boat !

This is the worst chef on below deck. All the rest of them, actually, make food that the guests enjoy. And all stews tell the guests what they're having. And the other chefs come up and speak with the guests. He didn't even want to, until the captain told him to.

[@kimkim845]

What on earth is Ryan’s problem? While yes, a lot of chefs have an ego I’m not arguing that! They also know that if you’re preparing food for a set group of people who have given their preferences pre-boarding AND previously voiced they do not want fish you simply do not serve them fish. Does he not understand this is not his restaurant where he can set the menu and refuse to do substitutions? It’s a freaking charter, guests make the decisions. Actual chefs on these shows while they do get heated they also rise to the occasion and deliver beautiful food in a timely manner.
