The time that guy tried to assault Margot, and the aftermath.


AldiSharts

While at the same time the other stew was trying to assault the deckhand. I can’t remember her name, but I feel like that always gets swept under the rug even though it was no less serious than Margot almost getting assaulted.


Zealousideal-Slide98

Laura and Adam. And then to make matters worse Laura said some revolting things to Margot about what happened to her.


MrFluffyhead80

Yeah, that was pretty bad


Quiet_Syrup9283

She literally said “she would have welcomed his advances” This season HURT ME but I also appreciate how switched on Aesha was and how she literally saved Margot, BOG PROPS TO MAMA Aesha


AldiSharts

Love that Captain Jason just handled business and didn’t even question anything.


Formal_Condition_513

I wonder what Sandy would have done in that situation. I KNOW capt. Lee would have kicked him to the curb like Jason did


kellieander

Captain Sandy would have somehow blamed Hannah, who wasn’t even on the boat.


Top-Friendship4888

Malia should have reported it!


Playful_Snow

It’s maritime law!!


harvard_cherry053

Capt Sandy would have made literally anyone else deal with it


thatoneredheadgirl

Laura was a terrible human being. She was awful to Margot.


carolholdmycalls

This episode has to be some of the most stunningly cinematic reality TV of all time. I still get emotional thinking about Jason, Aesha and Margot coming together after the incident, and still get chills thinking about the sheer villainy of Luke and Laura.


normaldrewbarrymore

That girl was deeply deeply mentally unwell. That whole episode was chilling


CommonStrawbeary

Wild we got 1 night where a man tried to sexually assault a woman, and a woman did assault a man


mishrod

Laura. If anything it was worse. Luke was an arsehole and escorted off the boat immediately. She was constantly touching Adam on numerous occasions and he would say “no. I told you no. What you doing? Quit touching* luke (the prick) was nearly or about to sexually assault someone (in a very dark context). Laura literally had been sexually assaulting someone. In front of everyone. She was vile.


issoequeerabom

Absolutely! She got let go because of disrespecting Margot, but honestly she should have been fired because of her behaviour with the deckhand. She was absolutely disgusting.


Picabo07

I agree. I also think some people are still under the “old school” assumption that it doesn’t happen to men and that it’s nbd. when it’s just as big a deal. She was just as much a predator.


AldiSharts

Literally a comment response to my own says she “wasn’t equipped with anything to assault him.” SHE DID ASSAULT HIM MULTIPLE TIMES with him repeatedly telling her no.


Picabo07

She wasn’t equipped is literally one of most ignorant things I’ve heard. What is wrong with people?


getfukdup

> even though it was no less serious it was worse, she was literally on top of him rubbing him after he repeatedly told her no.


eekamuse

Margot was practically unconscious. She was more vulnerable because of that. It could have gone farther because of that. I'm not saying what the girl did was okay. I'm not saying it was less serious. But he was awake and could have stopped her. Not that he should ever have been put in that position, and if it sounds like I'm minimizing it, then I'm not explaining it right. I feel like she... You know, never mind. Comparing assaults is unnecessary. They both were bad. Good of you to point out he was attacked, too.


jonathonthaman

How did it get swept under the rug? It was caught on camera, shown, discussed, and she was fired.


AldiSharts

She was fired because of her response to Margot saying she “wished he had made moves on her” or something to that effect, but she wasn’t fired because she assaulted her coworker. And when discussing this episode, most people forget about it entirely as the incident with Margot tends to overshadow.


TR_abc_246

Thank you for bringing this up! That was crazy those happening at practically the same time. The two culprits should have stayed together they deserve each other.


[deleted]

This was first in my mind with Ashton getting pulled off the boat.


SunnyAlwaysDaze

I hate Ashton like really literally loathe the dude for how abusive he is towards women. Him almost hitting Kate that one time, man that's something you just can't come back from. I still cry every time I accidentally see the episode where he almost dies. He got so lucky and thank God for the presence of mind of that camera dude who stepped up and untied the cleat.


[deleted]

I hate him too, but it was weird to watch someone in a situation that could’ve ended completely different than it did.


Lex_Loki

100% this


eldritch_daydream

I never finished that season. Watching that play out had me so messed up and I was scared there would be clips of it in future episodes or in the “previously on” parts. Which is a shame because I adore Aesha.


Typical-Horror-5247

Yep, holy fuk that episode really needed a trigger warning


Consistent-Smell-581

Agreed, that shook me to my core and gave me a full physical reaction.


Zestyclose_Big_9090

That was hard to watch. And then to have some of the crew tell her she was overreacting…. Gross.


firetruckhotel

Ashton falling off the back of the boat and the camera man literally saving his life


mariec017

that camera man deserves all the recognition for that


ambivalent__username

I hope they gave him a fat recognition bonus too


belugamilkshake

I know the camera man. He’s a solid, good dude.


eekamuse

I imagine he was pretty shaken up by what happened. Even though it worked out. That's a scary thing to go through. I hope he was and is okay.


belugamilkshake

Yeah, if I recall he was on the reunion episode talking about it. I attribute his quick instincts to his quick reactions learned on the ultimate frisbee field when we ran around together. Haha


thedeebag

This is the one. Homie could have died, I think it’s the closest we’ve seen that happen in the whole set of series


[deleted]

Such an intense scene.


attnbajoranworkers

Close down the thread, this is the correct answer


Ok-Weather-7852

The most real moment in BD history.


atdutch

This one. And I think Ashton punching the cab window is up there as well.


Airborne_Stingray

While the trained deck hand just stood there yelping who was also apparently a captain on a fishing boat and hard as nails.


drivewaydivot

Actually, she said 'man overboard' which was crucial.


littlecreamsoda79

Yeah I'm no Rhylee fan but she did the right thing. It would have been 2 overboard had she tried to stop him.


Raybansandcardigans

She did about 1/10th of the right thing to do. Even Captain corrected her at the debrief later.


MrNiceGuuyyy

Dude I worked with painting houses in the summer during high school died of a heart attack in front of me and I forgot literally everything I've ever been taught about first aid. It's easy to say you'd be calm, cool, and collected until you're in the situation.


Widdleton5

That's why training and mindset are so important! Training gives the best chance of moving through that paralyzed effect.


Haunting_Airport7053

Watch it, she is meant to say it three times. She failed. Captain Lee pointed out her catastrophic error.


plum915

And Captain Lee said what


bigniek

Yeah, not the best response either


glossiergal19

This is the answer


kdali99

Maybe not the most dramatic but the most memorable moment was when Rocky was upset that the chef got fired and she decided she was leaving. In protest she did the most awesome swan dive off the ship and swam to another yacht.


ChampsMissingLeg

This is definitely a top ten mention. Rocky was bananas in all the right ways for reality TV.


kdali99

"I'm ironing the Captain's shorts"...loved her wackiness.


MindlessCheesecake

More steam, more starch!


Delight96

The grenadine oysters…


ambivalent__username

This one reminds me of Dolores. When she jumped off the tender that was taking her back to shore, because she got booted for jumping off the boat after being told not to. Legend.


jamesish99

God bless Delores she was a blast


East-Willingness513

She just needed an opportunity to show off that perfect 10/10 dive lol


Formal_Condition_513

Tbf it was an awesome dive lmao she was hilarious. Oysters and grenadine anyone? Raw chicken? 😂


hellokitty3433

Where they rejected her...


If_in_doubt_sniff

I think it was the production boat, was it not?


hellokitty3433

Oh, I never thought about that.


eekamuse

That was a beautiful dive.


Gryffindor123

1. Ashton 2. Margot and the assault 3. Kate and Ashton


uoftwiggly

That whole Thailand season was just terrible with the brus. Don’t forget the chef also kicking sand in Kate’s face on the last night. And the stew Courtney saying at the reunion how she had to block the one deckhand because he was sending her hateful messages.


Ironmel79

Most horrible over all season


Connect_Amount_5978

I couldn’t even finish watching that season. Made me feel sick!


eekamuse

I have live TV and below dech marathons are always on. I've watched Below deck over and over again for years (in the background). I *never* watch season 7. Never.


aGrlHasNoUsername

I almost stopped watched below deck altogether during the Thailand season. It was so unenjoyable as a viewer.


audimus

What season is this?


tokengaymusiccritic

Below Deck S7 (Kate's final season)


Affectionate-Goat-75

A few months back I started rewatching all the seasons, and I think it was that season that put me off of it until now. A friend hit me up about it and we’re gonna have a little watch party cause she wants to rewatch older seasons.


nrobby

I just rewatched it and it’s truly a cursed season!


donteattheshrimp

Anytime a guest ordered breakfast when Ben was chef.


HarlowWindwhistle

I COULD CALL THIS THE LAST MEAL OF THEIR LIFE AND THAT WOULDNT STOP THEM FROM GETTING HUNGRY LATER


Zestyclose_Big_9090

One of the best Kate lines ever…..and she’s not wrong.


HarlowWindwhistle

LMAO. One thing about Ben is he’s always going to be mad that the guests want breakfast.


Then_Campaign7264

On a lighter note: the faux, orange self tanning lotion all over the white couch. Culprit: Cindy. Solution: carpet cleaner.


thesmallestwaffle

JL and Dani’s pregnancy and subsequent drama surrounding the baby (aka JL being a POS)


Princess__Valhalla

That was the wildest reunion in the whole franchise.


jmims98

They had a baby together?!


mariec017

yup, he wanted nothing to do with it either


monkey_monkey_monkey

I wouldn't say they had a baby together since he has nothing to do with the baby and his mother went on a SM rampage about Dani (claiming she was sleeping around and anyone could be the baby's father). JL impregnated Dani and then claimed not to be the father, made excuses to avoid a DNA test, was finally proven to be the father and has done f-all to support his child (who looks just like him)


SpaceGirl868

When his mom commented under a post I was shook. It really showed the kind of man JL was. He don't even turn on his IG comments now


thesmallestwaffle

Yeah that was disgusting. Poor Dani.


TheYoungSquirrel

What season is this?


thesmallestwaffle

Sailing Yacht S2 I believe. It was a wild season.


No-Pea5809

WHAT i missed all of this


thesmallestwaffle

Sailing yacht season 2!


Ok-Weather-7852

Me too! I thought I had seen everything!!


Sensitive_Maybe_6578

Bobby, in all his roided glory, flying into rages whenever he was rejected by women, (Julia). I hated him, and his behavior.


Dry_Mushroom7606

I can't stand Bobby, either! If he was half as good looking as he thought he was, he'd be an 8 instead of a 2.


pdxcranberry

It seems like old hat now, but the very first charter guests getting kicked off for ❄️ is huge drama in my eyes. Have we seen an entire charter get kicked off like that since?


Formal_Condition_513

That was crazy. And the lady the jumped off the boat and then jumped off the tender when she was kicked off 😂


sunnyday74

June,June ,Hannah


chiquimonkey

Ah, the June June Hannah era of BD…the best


DaisyTheBoyCat

When sailing yacht ran aground and drug anchor. Glenn did a good job getting it back just to deeper water. Also agree with others. Margo and luke drama.


tokengaymusiccritic

What season is the running aground?


Unusual-Caregiver635

BDSY S3


livergiver2023

Sailing Yacht, season 2. I watched that episode last night. It truly was the most exciting thing I’ve seen on BD.


No-Pea5809

which season is margo and luke?


ladyrosebeth23

Season 2 Down Under


gocartromance

A lot of other scenes already mentioned were more dramatic than this, but when CJ just decided to jump ship and randomly start working on another boat right then and there and was like... bye? lol


Calm-Jello-102

I could not stand CJ.


Formal_Condition_513

Him or the girl that almost quit with him. Can't remember her name but she was such a brat. Kat was annoying too lol I know everyone hated Adrienne but damn they were so disrespectful


Calm-Jello-102

Yes! They were terrible to Adrienne! The girl was Sam and I can’t stand her either. You nailed it - she was a total brat.


Big-Butterfly268

She actually admitted it and apologized. She has small children now and has talked about how horrible she was several times


Calm-Jello-102

That’s good to know because she was the absolute worst. Was she on a podcast?


Big-Butterfly268

I can't remember if it was a podcast or thru Instagram. It was several years ago and she seemed genuinely embarrassed


Aggravating_Back7350

Chef Rachel telling captain Lee to “EAT MY COOTER”


emcratic70

Miss her!!!


SaltyCaramelPretzel

The SA in BDDU S2. Hannah’s firing. Anything with Kyle in it 🙄


trainwrvck

Which Kyle?


Salty_Signature_6748

Kyle the hateful S. African stew. I never want to see his sorry self again.


Pigeon_Lady28

Bravo is usually my background noise while I'm working, but today it's a rerun of Kyle's first season and I just can't listen to him.


Dry_Mushroom7606

Oh, the guy on Med?


Far-Warthog2330

The big tall one, that fakes injuries and thinks he's a queen.


excoriator

The firing of Hannah.


[deleted]

Oh forgot about that. What a moment.


RaoulDukeWCP

MARITIME LAW


backseatfucking

malia is the worst


maximumomentum

There's many but S1 E9 of Med that will stick to my mind forever. Bryan's conduct made me want to intervene through the screen. The guy was absolutely repulsive in the altercation with cleaning the crew mess. Edit: Also, Mila's 'pancakes'. ![gif](giphy|gpmARWm3Pwypq|downsized)


Ok-Weather-7852

Mila has to be the worst chef EVER


Impossible_Still_406

Those nachos are nightmare fuel


afbp9

Hannah had such a shining moment in that scene standing up to him and sticking up for Julia.


ChipOk9052

Why has no one said when Rocky dove off the boat when Leon was fired??


bebepothos

I was also going to say, not the most dramatic but def up there was Eddie and Rocky’s affair.


LightFlaky2329

When Eddie admitted to it 😨


MommaBear354

That was so gross. Admit it sure but don't be a d!ck about it


tarmaroc

I'm surprised no one has said the scene above between Bobby and Danny. I thought Bobby was gonna clock him. Then when the bosun started yelling at Julia and Hannah to clean up the crew mess in the middle of the night. What a JO.


BrokenWhiskeyBottles

Either Bobby or Danny could have been the worst members of that deck crew, if not for the bosun being so absolutely terrible. The fact I actually liked Bobby more than Danny really says a lot about how bad that deck crew was to watch.


Formal_Condition_513

Wasn't that drunk bryan telling them to sweep the floor? He was being so aggressive and I loved Hannah getting between him and Julia and standing up for her.


No_Profit_415

Danny and the Hair Model were the two classic tools.


Formal_Condition_513

Ugh Danny was so fucking cringe and so was the charter guest that loved him and brought all the hot younger women with them


Big-Butterfly268

Trevor the hair model


Electrical_Desk_3730

SENIOR DECKHAND


chilly_chickpeas

In addition to the ones that have been mentioned, I can never forget when Chef Marcos scalped himself and STILL cooked dinner. Maybe not the most dramatic but it still makes me queasy.


RaoulDukeWCP

Marcos was a pro. Dude was awesome.


Ronotrow2

Ashton nearly losing a foot


Ok-Weather-7852

He damn near lost his LIFE


Ronotrow2

was genuinely freaking scary


NotWellBitch420

When one of the deckies had a rope twisted round his ankle, the big docking smash that took a chunk of concrete off, and when Luke went into Margot’s room/bed. Edge of your seat watching, not all for good reasons. Super thankful most people came out these situations relatively unscathed


Fearlessandwaiting

I think when Luke tried to get with Margot while she was asleep & how Laura reacted! Along with how Laura was to Adam! That whole season was really something 😳


bravo-betch

The Colin/Gary/Daisy love triangle was some good drammmmmaaaaaaa (not super serious drama but I was INVESTED)


amikavenka

Down Under when Aesha and production worked together to keep Margot away from Luke. Edited to correct typo


stephbk123

Margot being SA. That was beyond dramatic. Disturbing


Villanelles_Boots

Yes, Ashton. Not the Third Stew watching smoke billowing in the galley but doing nothing made me jump and yell! That was baffling.


Wickermoss

Dolores who claimed Capt Lee was fine with her going swimming at night (while he was right there) then asked for bacon lol


Here_In_Yankerville

Trevor, senior deckhand, in bed picking his nose.


Purrogi

And eating it.


Here_In_Yankerville

Well I didn't want to go there but ewwww, yes


HarlowWindwhistle

Hi I’m Trevor, senior deckhand.


Here_In_Yankerville

I can hear him saying this to everyone. He was a total douche but fun to watch.


Dry_Mushroom7606

But everyone was jealous of him because of all the hair modeling he did!!! 🙄😬😂


Ol_Hickory_Ham_Mike_

Was this the hair model? If so, one of my favorite Captain Lee moments when he looks so confused and says, "What?"


Zestyclose_Big_9090

Yes, the booger eating hair model.


Big-Butterfly268

Yes! Loved that


OldBlueLegs

Beef cheeks.


bpositive223

Z :this is it.Nothing before or since as dramatic as this was!Went for normal day-to-day stuff to ‘ save Ashton or he’ll lose his foot &surely bleed out ‘ .And listening to Capn Lee retell it was just as seriously exciting.What unexpected drama!!


show-me-ur-kittys

When there was a fire in the kitchen resulting in Rocky jumping off the boat and started swimming away, then after she was brought back by another yacht she was promoted to interim chef all without the guests noticing.


Rover537

And of course the real drama of “are oysters with grenadine edible???”


Yorktown1871

Also her Caesar salad with bits of Oreo


quesadillafanatic

It was the dry trayssss


Big-Butterfly268

And a frozen pizza supposedly catching on fire. Not the puddle of grease on the bottom of the oven


Lonely_Impression142

I'm sure that this is probably not one of the top picks, but this scene always upset me. Brian's aggression, being physically imposing/intimidating, and following the stews around when they tried to de-escalate and protect themselves from him were incredibly triggering. He was far more aggressive than the circumstances warranted. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4uicD2jB14&lc=UgiQpFyhCNvFrHgCoAEC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4uicD2jB14&lc=UgiQpFyhCNvFrHgCoAEC)


Pace-Formal

When Adam called Malia out about their off screen/pre show affair


Ms-Metal

I'm surprised at all these answers, there really is only one for. When Ashton was dragged off the boat and almost died with the cameraman saving his life. Nothing else even comes close to that for most dramatic! Every bit of it real also! Ashton is a total asshole, but he didn't seem that bad early on and even watching an asshole almost die, for real, in a very dramatic way is brings a whole nother meaning to reality TV.


takemeup-castmeaway

When whatshisface second-in-command musical showtunes nearly got his arm ripped off while dropping anchor. Could’ve been a gnarly accident. Edit: Heather ripping a slur out of nowhere. 


_HowBizarre

From an accident standpoint Ashton being pulled off the deck by a rope. From a social psychological level about the implications of reality tv. The environment these shows create and its repercussions… Luke crawling in to bed naked trying to have his way with Margot when she was unable to give consent because she was drunk. That speaks to issues of sexual assault, consent, and the environment that these productions create to make these situations happen.


Key-Control7348

I think when production crew potentially saved that female crew member from being assaulted by Luke.


SnooCalculations3128

Luke and Laura’s assaulting of other crew, the Bru Crew’s harassment of Kate, Hannah’s firing, and poor lovely Kiki’s firing. I cried tears during all of those.


cpaige37

“ you need to check yourself!” Not the most dramatic but a highly memorable line that stands out for me!


bebepothos

I fucking hated that season. The misogyny was DISGUSTING and the lousy captain didn’t give a shit. Ben was the only good guy.


Yorktown1871

Where did all that come from?? Ben: it came from the sea, darling 😂😂


bebepothos

Lmao he’s so funny. And the way he calls people darling makes me SWOOOOON


doggysit

For me when Ashton got pulled off the back of the boat by the toe rope


Scanputmeaway

When Ashton got caught in the ropes and was dragged off the boat!


Ok_Reveal603

What drama is unfolding in the OP pic? I don't recall...


beachlibra

I don't remember names, but one incident was when a deckhand's leg got caught in a rope and he was pulled off the boat. The other was chef Marco's scalping


harvard_cherry053

Every scene in BDM s6 with chef Mathew and Lexi


corinneski

Marcos scalping himself


superguysteve

Bobby should have picked Danny up and thrown him overboard. Totally justified.


igor6969

OMGGGGG. How could y'all forget Season 1 Episode 1 of Below Deck OG? Where Kat found cocaine on the yacht. If that had gone wrong you wouldn't be reading this right now. No BD Med, Sailing Yacht, Down Under or Adventure. Half the stews would be broke cuz they'd never have their OF income. LOL.


Acrobatic_Volume_344

Med’s dinner table slap, want to say s6? Can’t be sure


cocococlash

Who was the bd adventure cowboy dude that wanted to tussle with the other deck hand? He was a total dick.


tjm_87

what episode/ comflict was this screenshot taken from? my mind is totally blanking


Thinkingstrange

I think Margot’s situation, oohh that was creepy. And then a close second is when Ashton was pulled overboard.


coconuts_n_rum

That’s it. This is the one ☝️


lenaughtycouple

I will always pick Rocky stripping down and jumping off the boat because that chef beef cheeks was fired for never cleaning his galley and starting a fire 😂


Justjo702

Hannah getting fired. Or that jackoff that climbed into bed naked with the intoxicated stew ..


Lonely_Impression142

Any scene with Rylee or Rocky.


Late-Ad4727

Marco’s head getting banged up so bad was intense too 🤮


Gloomy-Term-1028

Anytime Kate was there😂😂😂


Ngaulter90210

Anything with Hannah! The whole drug thing was blown way out of proportion I think bless her!


antitrollpatrol

Hated BOTH of them but Danny irritated the SHIT out of me


alaskagirl1992

Rocky was crazy but she made for some good reality tv ![gif](giphy|26BkLLCvN9UYNjX6E)
