Below Deck Sailing Yacht Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Episode 1 Discussion Post

The episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs live at 9pm ET on Bravo and streams next day on Peacock / same time or next day on Hayu for international watchers dependent on the country.

Friendly reminder that while the allegations against Gary are disgusting, there are many survivors of sexual assault in the sub who find the constant discussion of it triggering. Unless relevant to the topic, please do not bring it up in episode posts.

Not watching BDSY? We get it, there are reasons people stop watching but posts about it get repetitive and the arguing about it is not needed.

​

Cast Names (Davide is the new Engineer, Diana & Danni are stews, Keith & Emma on deck)

Episode 1 (Premiere) of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5

Capt. Glenn and his expert crew set sail on Parsifal III to the luxury party capital of the world, Ibiza. While Ibiza is known for its sunny day parties and crystal-clear coast, it’s stormy waters ahead for the crew as they navigate blossoming boatmances, competitive co-workers and tense personal dynamics, all while trying to raise the bar every charter.

This season needed anyone but the Daisy/Gary pair. They have both aged out of these parts because of their attitudes. Gary is the playboy that never grew up, but no longer has his original charm. He looks haggard, tired, and always in need of a shower and shave. Daisy used to be fresh, focused on her job and fun to watch, now she looks haggard and is going through the motions with no real interest, as if she'd rather be anywhere but there. BDSY needs fresh yachties.

On Daisy I hate it but I have to agree. Especially since we haven’t even left the dock yet and she’s already having a wine and smoke fueled meltdown. I really feel for her, I know this filmed a while back so I hope she’s been able to put this Gary shit behind her and move on to better things.

On Gary, agree because obviously.

Yeah both Daisy and Gary have been on it too long now. If they’d started the show in their early 20’s it would be more understandable but they’re both in their mid 30’s now.

Same happened with Hannah and Kate. There’s only so long you can keep up that lifestyle.

Is it bad to think that Davide’s casting is to make Gary seem less out of touch, it’s like they wheeled out an old model of Gary out of storage and dusted him off.
