Below Deck's Ben Jokes Why His 1st Dock Departure as Bosun Might Have Been 'Illegal'

Transcript

00:00 So, Captain Kerry, he teased to us that this season might have the record for the most amount of firings in a season.

00:06 So, would you agree and what was it like kind of losing two people at once when you were on Charter?

00:12 Yeah, so this is something that you would...

00:14 This is the longest Charter we've got all season.

00:16 Four days long and, you know, we're already a man down.

00:19 But it's nothing that I think we can't handle.

00:21 So, we've got... Like, it's unheard of first coming off the dock.

00:24 You've got two deck members while Sonny's in the TempDown were coming off.

00:27 So, that's just unheard of. You wouldn't do that.

00:30 I don't even know if it's legal to be honest.

00:32 So, anyway, that's how it works.

00:35 But, you know, and then to find out that Kat's got to leave very abruptly as well.

00:39 It's just kind of like, well, Interior were going to support us, you know, with whatever we needed.

00:45 You know, maybe cleaning up the crew mess and all that kind of stuff.

00:47 Take some duties back from the deck team because we're a man down.

00:49 But now, they've got to take those duties again and now it's just a level playing field again

00:53 because we've got two crew members down.

00:55 Biggest charter we've had.

00:57 I mean, yeah, what can go wrong? Emotions are running high.

01:00 It's definitely an experience to say the least and I wouldn't want to do that again.

01:05 And so, two positions opened up and I was curious, in that moment,

01:08 was there anyone from Season 10 or in general from the Below Deck universe

01:11 who you kind of like wanted to see fill in those roles?

01:15 Yeah, you know what? It definitely wasn't Camille.

01:17 I would say that not Camille and not Leanne.

01:21 I'd be very much happy if that happened.

01:23 I did cross, I was like, "This would make great TV."

01:25 But it was, I actually thought maybe Hayley or Tyler from Season 10 would be fantastic in the role

01:30 just because they're familiar with the boat and it would really help and boost Fraser's team.

01:34 For the deck side of things, I don't really have anyone from last season that I would have bought on.

01:40 Maybe Tony, but I know he's not really interested in yachting anymore

01:43 so I wouldn't want to do that to him again in that kind of sense.

01:45 But yeah, at the moment, we're just, you know, trying to get this charter going through

01:50 with two deck, two members down. So, I mean, it is what it is and we just move on.

01:55 The Season of the Cast has shared some interesting details about themselves.

01:59 Kat has talked about being in a religious cult

02:01 and then the Chef has talked about how his wife left him for his uncle.

02:05 I didn't know that.

02:06 I, like, I'm just watching these things. They're so interesting.

02:10 Why aren't we talking about that?
