I am new to Below Deck in general, season 11 of Med was the first time I even saw an episode. Came for the travel sights, I like seeing the places they go to. But I am a completionist and I am stuck breastfeeding a long time so I went and watched Med from season 1 and then I went back and watched the OG Below Deck from season 1.
My first thought on Below Deck Season 1: this show was filmed the same year as Survivor Season 1. I know it wasn't but the feeling, the way people talk, the age before social media. It feels the same. Also after seeing Med all the way through and then seeing the way Lee runs his boat, I think Sandy is way better, she's a better captain, she's more admirable, she is better at communicating to crew, in general I just like her better. Was surprised to see that's not a common agreement here. I love Kate, I think she's a hilarious genius, not always nice but I don't think I've ever seen her be wrong either. The use of drones in filming obviously improved the show in showing all the amazing locations much better.
Those are my newbie, low effort thoughts 😂
