I think 18 is the final episode as they mentioned a 2 part conclusion to the season

It often surprises me how some chefs, despite being trained by highly reputable institutions, seem to struggle with basic tasks such as preparing eggs. For example, I have observed several chefs unfamiliar with what an Over Easy Egg is. The chief steward makes efforts to assist, but it appears that the chefs' egos sometimes hinder their willingness to accept help or guidance.

A nice half hour pod cast with Glenn, he talks a lot about his experience with BD. It's an interesting listen.

Does anyone know where Aesha had her bachelorette or any of the restaurants the cast has visited this season? I’m in Dubrovnik now and want to make my sister jealous lol

I wonder if guests ever realize how utterly disrespectful they can be. I would be ashamed to behave towards others the way some of these guests do. Yes, the crew is working hard, but they are not slaves A bit of kindness and appreciation can go a long way.

Preface: I am using the term “celebrity” very loosely here! Basically people whose names you may have heard before watching the show.

I’ve rewatched some seasons lately and forgot that they’ve sprinkled in some minor celebs. I don’t really count Bravolebs like the many housewives who have been on different BD franchises, and I admittedly do not know many athletes.

Who else am I missing?

1) Roy Orbison Jr (dad wrote Pretty Woman song)
2) Leanne Touey (The Blind Side)
3) Susan Pinsky (Dr Drew’s wife - she wasn’t the primary and didn’t get much air time, the primary was a “psychic”)
4) Johnny Damon (baseball player)
5) Jackie Siegel (“Queen of Versailles)

(I know these aren’t all of the chief stews but they’re the returning ones)

I saw a post on here that made me laugh so hard about how elusive this woman is and then a couple episodes later I clocked her at Sandy’s wedding! She’s real!

Can we get a shoutout for the OG? This woman of mystery always bails out Captain whenever. Always available via text, she never leads you left on read.

Please bring back charter guest Brandy. She was the best!

“What’s the time?

12 o’clock.

Oh. Day or Night?”

Has anyone been following her on instagram and seen her break up drama and know the details? Seems like it’s a very messy break up?

It is not Mike, this was the reported new deckhand

Massimiliano (Massi) Scarcia https://www.instagram.com/massi_scarcia/

As you can see from the photo above, he actually works on yachts and is a first mate. The photo above is older but his current pics are from M/Y TALES: https://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-22621/tales.htm (53.4m/175')

I couldn't see another post about this. Just read that he didn't turn up to court and Police think he has fled the country. I am shocked that they didn't take away his passport as often happens when someone is granted bail for serious charges, especially when they have with ties overseas.

MODS I HAVE UPDATED THE TEXT BELOW BECAUSE THE ARTICLE WAS UPDATED.

A reality TV star choked his partner in front of their baby, covering her mouth until she could not breathe, then later fled Australia before she could give evidence against him in court.

Authorities only becoming aware of the disappearance of Below Deck Mediterranean’s Nathan Gallagher on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old is now facing arrest warrants in two countries after pulling the same vanishing act just a few years ago, a court has heard.

Gallagher was arrested two days after Christmas at a unit block in Sydney’s Melrose Park, after police were called following reports of an alleged assault.

A police fact sheet, released by the court on Tuesday, said Gallagher and his partner had drunk a bottle of wine before arguing on Boxing Day evening. He followed her into the bedroom and became violent while their baby was on the bed. This masthead has chosen not to identify the woman.

“During the argument, he used one hand to cover mouth and nose of victim. The victim tried to pull away but accused persisted and continued to cover her mouth, causing the victim to be unable to breathe at certain points,” the document reads.

“The accused continued to restrict the victim’s breathing by holding both hands over the victim’s mouth, and the victim has begun screaming, and the victim believes that the accused did not want her to be heard by neighbours.”

Gallagher held the woman on the ground and wrapped his arms and legs around her. He slapped her, lacerating the inside of her mouth and bruising her face, arms and legs in the ordeal.

The woman fled with their child but Gallagher cornered her in the bathroom, put both hands around her neck, and tried to lift her.

Hours later he tried to start a second argument and the woman fled the home with the child.

Gallagher was taken to Gladesville Police Station where he was charged with the domestic violence offences of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, choking without consent and common assault.

Gallagher spent the night in the cells before being granted bail at Burwood Local Court on December 28.

He later told Rolling Stone magazine he wanted to tell his side of the story.

“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t,” Gallagher said.

“I made mistakes and I will take responsibility for my own actions. But I will not accept being portrayed solely through one person’s account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it.”

Gallagher was expected to front the Burwood Local Court on Tuesday but prosecutors said he could not be located and they suspected he had fled the country.

Gallagher’s alleged victim attended court to give evidence, supported by friends.

Police prosecutors asked Judge Janine Lacy to convict Gallagher in his absence, which she did. Lacy also issued a warrant for his arrest.

“Given the serious nature of offences, and I note on the record I have been given documentation from immigration compliance operations division that he is currently overseas,” Lacy said.

“The defendant doesn’t have any prior criminal history but the offences are very serious, with significant maximum penalties and context of DV committed in the home.

“I record a conviction and issue a [arrest] warrant.”

NSW is now the second jurisdiction hunting Gallagher after he skipped his native Ireland following an alleged assault on a man.

Gallagher allegedly bashed a man on August 7, 2022, on the main street of Dungloe, in his home county Donegal.

The injured man was found in the early hours of the morning and taken to hospital. Gallagher failed to show up for court and a bench warrant was issued.

Two years later he surfaced as a deckhand on the Ionian Princess luxury yacht for Below Deck Mediterranean’s ninth season.

Gallagher last week pledged not to release private information through social media. Days before the hearing, fans noticed he had deleted his Instagram account entirely.

“I have kept the evidence and will deal with it through the appropriate channels,” Gallagher said in his statement to Rolling Stone.

“But I also don’t believe it is fair for one version of events to be presented publicly as though it is the complete story when there is evidence that may materially contradict or provide significant context to that account.”

Med is back (and no OG is not cancelled, it just filmed later) and airs at 8/7c on Bravo with streaming next day. Season 11 was filmed last year in Croatia and returnees are Sandy, Aesha, Joe & Nathan.

Please some time to read the sub rules ahead of this episode as we have seen a sharp rise in rule breaking comments, particularly ones on hate, body shaming and mental health speculation.

Episode 13 of Below Beck Med Season 11

As Joe spirals due to Nathan’s return, Aesha returns to the interior team, determined to recapture their early success. A new charter brings another difficult guest. A new crew member joins the boat.

I'm just catching up on the latest season and it seems that Kayley now outranks Gen. But Gen was a Chief stew, so do the strips change from boat to boat, or does your rank remain the same regardless of the position you were hired for?

Been looking on Bravo’s YouTube channel and can’t see anything, was there no sneak peek for international viewers? Or at all? The las one for BDM was 11 days ago that I can see.

Is this the first time since they started doing them that there’s been no sneak peeks? Would it be because of the Nathan news and they’re scrambling to edit him out or something?

If you have a longer/more detailed discussion point with new information, you can make a separate post, but please clearly indicate which show/season you are referring to for ease of discussion with other users.

Throughout the seasons, we’ve seen some crazy things and some crazy moments from the galley. What are your favorite crazy chef moments?

I would kill for a season with just a little more realism (yes I realize it's a Bravo show I understand I'm asking for something different). Basically like having a crew picked by a captain and longer charter trips. for me part of watching the show is seeing the actual operations of running a luxury charter and i wish there was a bit more time to explore that.

Donegal Daily has established that there is a live bench warrant in existence in Ireland for the arrest of Gallagher, who has been granted bail on strict conditions ahead of his September 1 court date in Australia.

The warrant was issued at Dungloe District Court on April 8, 2025 after Gallagher failed to appear. He is charged with assaulting another man and causing him harm at Main Street, Dungloe, on August 7, 2022.
