Bravo is diving headfirst into winter chaos with the return of “Below Deck Down Under.”
The new season stars Captain Jason Chambers alongside Chef Ben Robinson, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, Second Officer João Franco, Sous Chef Alesia Harris, stews Joe Caron and Jenna Woudberg, deckhand/stew Mike Durrant, deckhand Eddy Hounsell, and deckhand Betul Yazici. And just to keep things spicy, the ladies from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City also climb aboard.
Viewers already saw the Housewives’ side of the trip. Now, Bravo is handing us the crew’s POV — including every scream, side-eye, and dinner service meltdown.
‘Below Deck Down Under’ Season 4 Brings RHOSLC On Board
Bravo teased this crossover back in April with a photo of Captain Jason Chambers, Ben, Daisy, plus RHOSLC stars Angie Katsanevas and Mary Cosby. Fans were instantly locked in.
Now, Season 4 finally shows how that chaotic charter really played out from the yacht crew’s perspective.
Jason returns as captain, but this time he’s working with three familiar department heads. Daisy jumps over from “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” to lead interior, João takes charge on deck, and Ben comes out of yacht retirement to run the galley after Jason needed a last-minute replacement.
Ben hasn’t worked on a yacht in years, but timing worked in Jason’s favor. With three veterans back on board, fans are already calling this an all-star season.
BDDU OGs Tease Tension and Slow-Burn Romance
At BravoCon, Daisy didn’t exactly sugarcoat her experience working with Ben.
“He challenged me in every way possible,” she said. “At first, he was great. But then I learned he couldn’t tell time, so that was a big problem when it came to dinner service.”
Ben fired back with a laugh, saying, “I’m English. Different timezone.”
Daisy wasn’t done.
She added that their dynamic this season was “interesting,” explaining that Ben sometimes acted “like a guest,” joking that she was shocked he wasn’t wearing one of the charter robes during their panel.
Ben, meanwhile, looked genuinely confused.
“Nothing really, to be honest,” he said. “Actually, I thought we had a great relationship. I’m completely blindsided.”
The group burst out laughing, suggesting there’s more to that story once cameras roll.
Daisy also opened up about her bond with João. When asked if it was love or lust at first sight, she admitted her “adrenaline [was] going so fast” before calling it “a slow build.”
“Below Deck Down Under” season 4 premieres Monday, February 2, at 8 p.m. ET/PT with a supersized 75-minute episode, and yes — the yacht is about to get loud.
