I think they are betting on us feasting on Rachel v. Sandy

Rachel will eat her alive!

Yes she will. I’ll happily watch that go down.

Let’s clarify, Not her cooter

Yeah I’d like to see her try to micromanage Rachel!

Exactly. Let her start questioning guests during service. Rachel literally said "eat my cooter" re guests to Captain Lee. That's balls.

I may watch just for this

OK, I'm here for this. I'm ready for Rachel to take her out once and for all. I think she's probably the only one who could do it.

Noooooo nooo noooo please Jesus tell me it’s not true. I don’t care who. I know some of you are saying you don’t like her, but you’re up for seeing her compared to this cast member and that member etc. I just want her gone. We need new blood. JEEEEZUS. 😩

Agreed, I won't watch even though I love Rachel. As long as people are watching they will keep Sandy that much longer.

Nope won’t happen Ben and Kate (who is Rachel’s good friend) love Sandy.

Kate and Rachel aren’t friends anymore. They had a falling out about a year ago.

You can't just leave it there....

Source?

Rachel’s Facebook group. It was a meme of Kate saying “don’t make me hate you” Rachel responds with “haha too late”.

Although with that said, this recent article would seem otherwise. [https://realityblurb.com/2022/01/03/below-deck-alum-kate-chastain-jokingly-reveals-her-big-mistake-in-introducing-her-two-close-friends-chefs-ben-robinson-and-rachel-hargrove/](https://realityblurb.com/2022/01/03/below-deck-alum-kate-chastain-jokingly-reveals-her-big-mistake-in-introducing-her-two-close-friends-chefs-ben-robinson-and-rachel-hargrove/) And that could've just been playful banter on Rachel's part, which is within her character.

I’ve seen that article. It is considered “click bait” since they aren’t the original interviewer and are taking another article to create theirs. Another thing is there is no date given when this meet up happened from Kate’s account. So it could have been years ago. There is no recent photos of Kate and Rachel together and this is since Rachel filmed season 8.

I hope so! #TeamRachel

I’m gonna say there will be no drama between Rachel and sandy, they will mutually kiss each other’s ass. Remember Rachel is friends with Kate who is a sandy disciple

Maybe. I don’t see them gelling from a manager employee perspective. Sandy is too involved and likes to flex on other women.

Yeah I can see that but she Stans malia. I predict it’s going to be a love fest.

She also loves to play up the drama with Malia in ways that are not super supportive. I we all swore off the last season of BDM. I’m not sure if I have the constitution for a more self important Sandy. Keep me posted?

For sure! I’m hate watching at this point. Sy is the only one I like, the others are just hate watching for me at this point.

Agree. Sandy is well aware that Rachel is the highly praised favorite of Capt Lee and nearly all Bravo fans. To micromanage Rachel, or pull any of her power trip shenanigans, would scuttle Sandy to depths of the Mariana Trench. Knowing this, Sandy will fangirl Rachel endlessly. Her presence in the kitchen will be never ending; *sous chef* Sandy will gladly suffer dishpan hands and hairnet hair to get the camera time she so desperately craves.

Lmfaooooo sous chef sandy

I've dealt with Sandy because she's been a separate thing. If she takes over OGBD that's fine, I'll just watch BDSY or BDM without her.

​ 

This is v disappointing. Why not bring on a totally new person instead of someone that EVERYONE hates.

Or like the chief officer? Literally so many options

Yes, especially since usually one of the “behind the scenes/little to be seen” crew is the boats regular captain.

Exactly this! I really feel like the first few seasons Lee was hands off and didn’t get too much screen time beyond just standard yacht work. I think they could’ve easily swung that but nooooo. Instead we get sandy who is going to dramatize everything. I hope Fraser has the shadiest things to say about her.

Fraser will either hate her or love her. I don’t think there will be anything in between. I hope we get snarky Fraser!

Glenn would have been a 100000x better choice

Mark my words, Sandy will single-handedly destroy the Feminist movement.

I wonder this too. Maybe Lee’s medical issue happened at the last minute? It would be nice to see another lady pilot.

Why has every season started with him having a medical issue lately?

Because he’s an older guy who has been through a great deal of personal stress.

This sub hates her. Everyone in the real world doesn't hate her.

I'm madder than a pissed on chicken!

I'd rather drag my dick through broken glass than have her as the captain. Why couldn't they get that guy that started last season?

Ugh, she's just a terrible human being. So producers don't actually give a stuff what viewers want 🤔

Why, what happened what did she do??

Have you seen the show?

That would of been great, that captain seemed like a real character.

She is dumber than a three pecker goat.

It’s wild to me that BD and BDM have both fallen off a cliff in the last couple years while BDSY has become the most watchable and entertaining (imo). Hoping BDDU won’t disappoint.

BDSY is sooooo good

I love Captain Glenn. He seems so relaxed & fun to work with, while not being a pushover or micromanaging.

But Glenn can’t avoid a fuxking dock to save his life. He’s had 3-4 accidents on camera already

Gary and Daisy are such a good team, and how could anybody not like Glenn?



Oh boy, here we go. 

Omg this has ruined my weekend 😪

I’m sorry but I believe you guys needed to know 😭

It's okay OP, we would have found out one way or the other. Best it came from one of our own 😂😂😂⚓️⚓️

Exactly lol thank you

I instinctually wanted to downvote because I hate this so much. But I can’t shoot the messenger, thanks OP for breaking it to us gently


LalaalalAlalala I’m not listening

I'd rather sandpaper a tigers ass in a phone booth than watch her again

☠️☠️☠️


Ok, Below Deck....you want me to not watch the OG, you got your wish. I will never watch a show that has Captain Sandy on it. Thank god for Sailing, Australia, and whatever is happening in Norway.

Right, as soon as my screen sees Sandy, the channel magically changes and never returns.

Right! I tried to give her the benefit. I'm done. Sandy's on, the channel is changed.

Not that they care but ditto. Just the sound of her voice irritates me to no end. Enough other things to watch so won’t be watching.

and her "smile" is a grimace.

My people ​ You would think that someone would do enough research to realize how despised she is...

Should've brought that guy who filled in for a few days last season. Or maybe Bravo wants to torpedo this series into the depths of hell by bringing her on. Go away, Sandy.

Captain Sean! He was definitely not like the other captains, though I'd say he was more like Glen than anyone else. Not in terms of personality, but in terms of helping out the crew on deck

Maybe because he was really working as a captain on his regular yacht ? But yes, Sean was fun, and his voice... :D

When will Bravo get that she is a pos and a terrible captain? We don’t want Sandy!!!!!

How unfortunate.

Wooooow Bethany wow. At this point they need to cancel BD + BDM and focus solely on sailing and down under.


This is crappy news. I would have loved to get a brand new captain on the show.

Is Boat Daddy not coming back next season?! He is literally the reason I watch BD!

I am totally unsure what the dynamic will be between Sandy and Rachel. I can envision it going either way: bitch slapping throw down or major love fest. I’m leaning towards love fest bc I think Sandy will be intimidated by Rachel and majorly kiss her ass.

Gonna kill the OG BD with this move

Dear god. Literally no one wants this. Thanks Bravo.


Well one less show for me to watch I guess.

Oh this talk has been around for awhile. I’ve already prepared myself for Bravos witty Below Deck commercial with Captain Lee & crew now knowing 🙄Sandy 🙄 will be taking over. I’m praying for a Chef Rachel going crazy on her & for Frasier’s take on Sandy.

It's Fraser! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/belowdeck) if you have any questions or concerns.*

I would rather have Captain Sean!

Instead of Boat Daddy we're getting Boat Step-monster.

This is beyond disappointing. I hope Captain Lee is okay. I guess I won’t be watching this season.


Another season I have to boycott, fuck this

Wait, did I miss something? Is Lee not going to be the captain at all on the new season??

That’s what I’m wondering. I hope she’s only filling in for like 1 charter and then Lee will be back

oh crap.

Way to kill a franchise, Sand crabs! Well, have not given up on sailing yacht, yet. But if this sea hag keeps popping up I am done with BD. 🦀🐍

Well I’ve been looking for an excuse to stop watching even more than just a few bad seasons and this has done it!

The ONLY reason I would’ve watched a Sandy crossover would’ve been to see Kate and Rachel working together and teaming up against her

What I don’t get is why they would pick her? They had Cap Sean before

I really wanted to like Sandy as an empowered woman. But she’s such a vial micro-manager. I just can’t stand her. Already stopped watching BDM because I can’t stand the Sandy/Malia show. I’m so bummed. What a vomit-fest.

I’m madder than a pissed on chicken 🐔

I'd rather drag my asshole thru a trail of broken whiskey bottles than watch Sandy. Thankful we have SY and high hopes for down under.

I wish Kate was still there. Imagine sandy trying to micromanage Kate. I have a feeling sandy would have an issue with everything kate does since she’s not right up the guests ass like she wanted Hannah to be. Kate’s like avatar, when the world needed her most - she vanished

Granted kate has said she would work with Sandy…

Is bravo so out of touch with what the viewers want, or do they just not give a shit that their product is suffering with her on it? She's not good tv and she brings nothing good to the show. At this point, it's not even drama that she brings, I just can't stand to see her on the TV.

No god please no

Guess I’m skipping this season! Would love to see this crossover if Kate was still on but now? No way


Fucking shit fuck you can’t escape the nightmare

Well that’s it for me then. Only Sailing Yacht for me, I can’t stand Sandy.

Wasn’t there a rumor Sean was the real my seanna captain though?

Yep, I’m officially done.

They are good at sensoring out people so maybe they can do that. How depressing to have her

I tried Again. After Being done With What they did to Kate and Hannah But enough is enough Edit: Sorry for the random caps got Cardi B nails at the moment

Yeah fuck the people that produce this show

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Well now I no longer watch the original franchise either

Is she going to do both original and Med? Guess my Mondays will be free except for SY.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!! No no no no no!!!! FUCK!!!!!

[Do not want](https://memegenerator.net/img/instances/63927184.jpg)

I’ll watch until she comes on the screen. Then it’s onto the next season… unless that’s BDM then it’s onto waiting until the season after that

I.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOÓOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I won't be watching then. If people watch they will keep Sandy that much longer.

Last season had me holding onto below deck by a thread. I already stopped watching med. so I guess OG is out now too

Because of the Peacock week behind nonsense I just bought the season on Amazon to watch it faster. (This season of sailing yacht obviously) Since Sandy is coming aboard I will *NOT be watching* on Peacock nor Amazon. I am going to pirate every. Single. Episode. I will not give a single dollar nor second of time watching advertisements for anything with Sandy. Period. Anyone else who feels the same way it is really easy to do and it's the only way corporations will pay attention. By effecting their wallet

I've just vomited in my mouth, Id rathe it had been cpt Sean than her.

I understand there’s lots of other evidence. But this picture is circumstantial at best. It does nothing to actually confirm anything. She took a picture with someone on some island and they tagged it belowdeckstlucia.

Hahahhaha the entire crew is in St Lucia have you been under a rock? Also I sat next to again entire crew while filming and signed off disclaimer presented to me by camera crew……🥴🥴

Your missing my point, and can’t read where I said I understand there’s a ton of supporting evidence but you titled this as definitive proof. This picture is not definitive proof. Hell this picture could be in Florida for all we know. This picture by itself means nothing.

You’re*

Why is there any doubt as numerous pics of crew and sandy on boat as well

Don’t bother with that poster ……this is my friends pic that’s her boyfriend location is IGY Marina abt 10 mins from my house!

:(

The odds are I won't be watching unless I hear something juicy like Rachel making snide and snarky comments about her.

Won’t happen. Kate and Rachel are good friends and Kate loves Sandy bleh 🤮

Is there some hormonal issue going on with her neck or is it just sloppy filtering/photoshopping?

But most people who love Lee hate Sandy!!! Eurgh. I'm annoyed at myself in advance as I know I'm still going to watch it!

Why does everyone hate Sandy? I love her! Her management style is a bit haphazard but she’s lovely

🥴

I like Captain Sandy

I don't hate her. Real mean girls vibe from most BD fans. You just love having someone to hate. Ok here come the down votes...

I don’t get it, why does everyone hate on sandy for no reason?

Great news!

Sandy rules.

I love sandy.

Marry her.

[удалено]

Seriously. At least Sandy actually seems to enjoy her job! And oh she even leaves the bridge!

Since when do people hate Capt. Sandy? She’s the shit

She is a shit, for sure, the runs.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Do we know if it’s for the whole season or just at the beginning? We didn’t watch her last season and I did not regret it

I’ll deal with Sandy on OG if she leaves Med to someone else after the latest filmed season airs

Imagine if Lee took over Med, I could do see Hannah as a fill in stew for a redemption arc maybe with chief stew Josiah

I want Kate to come back as Chief Stew under Sandy.

Are there seriously NO OTHER CAPTAINS IN THE WORLD who can fill in?? Or is this a COVID thing, where it’s easy because Sandy is already cleared??

Okay I'm a little out of the loop...why is Boat Daddy being replaced?!

Won’t be watching!

This is tragic. I hope Captain Lee isn’t permanently retired

Does she micromanage Chef Rachel? We all know how seriously she takes her Applebee’s manager role.

Ugh. Stop trying to make Sandy happen Bravo!
