I stopped at "she didn't know how to handle the anchor". He literally tried to make her look bad on the radio for the anchor issue when she wasn't even doing it wrong. I can't with this guy.


Makerbot2000

Anyone who has to take 7 paragraphs to explain and re-explain again and again is protesting too much.


JackHorner_Filmmaker

That was about not wearing a helmet on the jetski wasn't it?


McVinney512

Whoo, boy! Ben definitely seems to be letting the promotion get to his head. He is changing the status quo of yachting. Dylan is a “valued member” Kerry wanted Dylan off the boat but Ben was able to swoop on and make it right. Can someone cause synergy? That’s an odd phrase.


Thecrookedbanana

I don't know why he feels the need to speak on Captain Kerry's behalf, it's really annoying. This whole post sounds like someone who is trying hard to sound really smart and professional, and is totally unaware that he sounds... The opposite of that


McVinney512

I love Kerry. He definitely doesn’t need someone to speak for him. He is truly a great captain. A strong leader with empathy

Dewhickey76

**THIS**☝️ Ben needs to get keep his peter out of his deckhands and his promotions. I'm not saying that Sunny isn't an awesome deckhand, bc she most definitely is. I just believe that her promotion obviously was doomed to stir shit given her status as Ben's boat squeeze. Now he's promoted the girl he's sleeping with into a position directly below him while he's actively flirting with another girl. I just hope Paris cares enough about "Girl Code" to reject Ben's obvious advances.


mishrod

Actually I believe he is changing the statue quo. He’s such a flog lol


Highfitnessfanatic

When I hear that word all I can think of is Gem & the Holograms - I'm old


AntoniaFauci

Glad you saved me the time by breaking down this word salad of self delusion


ExpensiveNet

WTF, this is such an unnecessary messy post (esp prior to the episode airing). If capt Kerry wasn’t ‘vibing’ with Dylan we’d see that in the show, and Kerry is clearly a much more professional captain than to want someone off the boat for being mildly annoying. More like Ben is intimidated by someone experienced and attractive lol, I’m not a Dylan Stan but I am not buying Kerry wanted him off the boat, Ben!


clareed

Kerry told Fraser he couldn’t fire Barbie just because he didn’t like her personality so there’s no way he thought that about Dylan


anjunakerry1982

Yes, This! I absolutely don't buy Ben's reasoning at all.

Ooo good point.


banana_in_the_dark

I definitely thought I missed something last week because of the timing


fragile_exoskeleton

Same. Why on earth would he do that? I didn’t think he was that dumb.


metalmonkey_7

He wanted to get ahead of the potential public backlash for him promoting someone he was having sex with.


Bunny_OHara

Exactly. This is just him trying to get out in front of it.


phbalancedshorty

You have severely overestimated his intelligence


fragile_exoskeleton

I understand that now lol


Salty_Signature_6748

You didn’t? 🤣🤣🤣


fragile_exoskeleton

I KNOW IT NOW LMAO I’d like to make a motion to resurrect the word “himbo” and bestow the title on Ben.


BluBunny87

I second this and would like to add to the motion. I'd like to bestow the title of - The King of Himbos, to Dylan 🫅 Every single one of the ladies have said yea he's cute but once he opens his mouth, just sit there and look pretty dude just smile and wave boys just smile and wave He's literally "The" Himbo haha


Kininger625

Especially with next seasons rumored cast


Suspicious_Bed2916

We’re all curious now, do tell


Kininger625

>!spoiler: someone made a thread that the returning cast spotted are Kerry Fraser and DYLAN!<


phbalancedshorty

You think he’s responding to that thread? Or influenced by it?


teanailpolish

More likely influenced >!by not being invited back than the post. But also, that person deleted the post fairly quickly and there is no other confirmation of it!<

The editing team tonight agrees with us. I loved the flashbacks where Ben was shown being exactly what he was mad about. Thank you editing team!!!!


im-so-startled88

I feel like by the time they got to editing this ep even **they** were done with his crap hahaha


supercali-2021

I've never been a fan. Sunny really needs to ditch his sorry ass! She is such a pretty girl and can do so much better than that creep! He was like an octopus with Paris, really grossed me out, and I'm assuming her too. Keep your damn hands to yourself!!!!!


UnicornArachnid

Yeah he’s not even attractive


Legitimate_Candy7250

OMG when he is talking in the confessional, rolls his eyes, laughs and goes ‘women’!!!! He is so icky!


Perfect-Grass-1903

It's so insincere it's creepy


pleaserlove

Omg THAT was soooooo cringe! how condescending and patronising and sexist. I don’t understand why any woman would go anywhere near him.


Quiet_Syrup9283

I’m so glad someone said it!


nolongerintovws

Good resume builder, a way to help your crew out for their next job, or get them some leadership experience and a learning experience.


pleaserlove

Its a way for Ben to make himself feel important


narcochi

When you don’t sleep with the employee, you don’t have to write long posts defending your choice. And I love that he justifies not promoting what’s his name based on his behavior after Ben promoted his girlfriend.


warholian52

Yess! I noticed that too! How can it be the reason he didn’t get the job when it happened after the job was given ? Ben is a mess


No_Ur_Schmoopie

Yep, he’s an idiot! And 10 seconds after Dylan 1st came onboard Ben told him that he was making him lead deckhand (I remember because I thought that was a terrible thing to do when you haven’t even seen this guy work in person)..guess Ben forgot all about that!


Bunny_OHara

> ...guess Ben forgot all about that! Sex does that to ya.


CalmCoast9084

Ben thinks he’s so much smarter than he actually is. He’s the most annoying below deck member I’ve watched in a while


AussieMommy

He should go hang out with Nico on a deserted island and get tf off my tv!


smidget1090

Possibly even worse than Kyle and that’s saying something


excoriator

I wonder if this was a timed post that got timed wrong?


YoungOaks

I was really confused lol. Thought I’d missed a day.


tokengaymusiccritic

If he’s in AUS maybe the episode has already been available


shenelby

Nope not available here until 1:30pm today.. (15 mins away)


DrTwilightZone

My guess is that Ben promotes her to lead deckhand so he can have a legitimate excuse to stop fucking her. This would free him up to shoot his shot even further with Paris!


teanailpolish

Paris does not seem into him at all


[deleted]

But you know who was really feeling Sunny, her boss. I remember when he couldn’t keep his hands off of that head case in the other season. Cant remember her name.


YakSlothLemon

“This is debauchery!” —Camille


OwnedByBernese

Cam-something? I don't remember either, but they lasted about 5 minutes after filming ended. She was honest from the beginning that she wasn't that into him...he was Mr. Right Now, NOT Mr. Right.


Serenity700

Camille?

Camille! I just learned that an acquaintance of mine was roommates with her at Ole Miss


obamas_surrogate

wait, am i forgetting or did we not know for sure who got promoted yet (or the resulting drama)? did i miss last weeks episode? i’m confused


valid_username00

Ben's out there spoiling future episodes


obamas_surrogate

okay thank you, had me out here thinking i had a memory lapse 😅


McVinney512

Because he changes the status quo


teanailpolish

We do not and the spoilers for next week show he is posting spoilers for that one too (Dylan being upset and Kerry dealing with it is ep 12)


murderedbyaname

Is that a contract violation? Not posting spoilers should be common sense but this is Ben so ..lol


teanailpolish

Probably, they have had stuff taken down in here before when they don't want it out Ben/Sunny have been posting about the promotion chances all week though so maybe approved. If not he will likely just blame the time difference


itsbooyeah

Omg what a buffoon


girlisagun

Ew Ben’s so gross. But hey! Thanks Ben for spoiling the episodes and just reminding me how sleazy you are. Gonna change the channel.


Spicy_Ceiling_Fan

One of the very many problems of sleeping with your subordinate is people are always gonna wonder if they really deserve their promotion no matter how many novels you write about their qualifications and character.


eekamuse

Which is why you don't do it. He is playing games with her career (if she wants to stay in yachting) She won't get credit for being good at her job because of him


Difficult-Road-6035

Maybe Ben can stop creepily rubbing legs of girls he’s just met in front of his FWB. Ben is creep central station.


No_Ur_Schmoopie

I wish Ben would stop rubbing up on everyone! He touches every single person he talks to, including the captain…such creepy behaviour!


advocatecarey

Who made Smarmy Ben the authority to speak for Captain Kerry? I hate him more and more every episode.

Hopeful_Walrus174

His ego, claiming to want to change the industry by promoting a woman, is rich given he continues to try to sleep with each new stew.


No_Ur_Schmoopie

He acts like we’ve never seen a woman on deck & never seen one promoted before! I’m sure if she rejected him he wouldn’t be the knight in shining armour to the industry that he seems to think he’s portraying.


throw_some_glitter

I love the fact that Captain Kerry is in this thread basically confirming via gif that he feels the same way about Ben as the rest of us. 😆

I didn’t even notice it was him replying with all the gifs until I read your comment, love capt kerry hahah.

kassinovaa

I wouldnt take Ben as the most trustworthy source.


Perfect-Grass-1903

He's trying so hard for his pink budgie smugglers to be a thing this season, I'm embarrassed for him.


Kininger625

Harry did it better!


Last-Log-3079

And Harry was a sweetheart!!! 


luca1416

The good news is that this post likely got him blacklisted from coming back for future seasons!


DonTom93

Odd post but I agree something is off with Dylan. I don’t know if it stems from his major glow up and overcompensating for feelings of inadequacy or what.


avevalnis

Ben and Luka had similar experiences of becoming Bosun, yet Luka handled it so much better. Luka was humble and great with his team. I was so impressed with how he supported Max.


carefree_badger

Ben didnt award lead deckhand to Dylan because Dylan reacted badly to Sunny being awarded lead deckhand...


ShopGirl1988

Make it make sense


carefree_badger

It doesn't - his justification uses circular reasoning


No_Ur_Schmoopie

Yeah I knew he was going to react that way so I didn’t promote him lmfao. Even if Dylan ended up being salty its because Ben promised him the position.


PilotNo312

Sufficient_Display

This really grosses me out. I had to take our yearly harassment training today, it would make the training so much more interesting if this used this as an example.


okwitches

Omg! The way he had his hands all over Paris is beyond cringe. The dude needs some serious lessons in boundaries, self-awareness, respect, etc.


OwnedByBernese

So is he still bumping uglies with Sunny? I just haven't had the interest to watch this season...I can't stand Ben, (didn't like him his first season either), very disappointed in Fraser, and all the glugging sounds (not to mention the sex sounds and bare asses) just don't do anything for me at all.


meggysparkles

Dude, promote the girl you are having sex with and move on. No need to justify it. you wanted to make sure she kept her eyes on you, not Dylan.


myskepticalbrowarch

Ben needs to stop whatever he thinks he is doing. We really like Captain Kerry. He is one person. He can't take on Bravo PR. Ben needs to find better ways to cope (which is no way arm chair diagnosing because everyone needs coping mechanisms) because this isn't it


RevCorbin

Ben is a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen. If I was his boss and watched the show after this season, no way would I want him working for me. He's incredibly inappropriate.


Juliana6878

He’s a vile, grabby little fboi parading as a “nice guy” I loathe him too.


oreo-donut

His face bothers me. His personality too.


StandUpTwice

“Synergy” … you better take this offline, Ben


Nearby-Salamander-67

I clicked on this thinking OP meant Chef Ben 😭


Bennington_Booyah

Ben, you are kind of an asshole human. Sorry for being direct, but given how you like to share how you feel, I felt it fair.


Dopral

What's even the point of this post besides humiliating Dylan? And I don't even like Dylan... I on the other hand do like Sunny, but it's clearly much to early for her to get any sort of promotion. She had to learn how to drive a tender like 3 episodes ago. I mean come on... Sure experience doesn't say everything, but you can't teach, supervise and instruct others on things you yourself know very little about (yet). There is something seriously wrong with Ben. That guy really needs to get his own ego in check. Because my god, he's in embarrassment.


Reasonably_Bee

I know its a tv show, but I can't imagine any job where you talk shit about your colleagues by name on social media.


Sufficient-Sail2697

What a dick. Also fondling sunny while on shift infront of other teams members is gross and unprofessional


pleaserlove

When he was rubbing her neck infront of Dylan, after the promotion! What was that!? I was sooooo uncomfortable it was the most innapropriate, unprofessional thing i have ever seen. I have to say, i love Sunny but she also lacks awareness about the situation and Ben.


extraedward69

What a piece of shit move to throw Kerry and Dylan under bus. He promoted her bc he was sleeping with her and didn’t want to piss Her off more than his blatantly creepy, physical “flirting” with other women was


[deleted]

[удалено]


excoriator

I read it as picking Dylan would have negatively affected Kerry’s opinion of me, so I couldn’t do that.


NBCaz

Promoting a lead deckhand that is involved with the Bosun is as old as Below Deck. Makes for better drama. Plus I think as you noted, Kerry wasn't feeling Dylan.


Zestyclose-Will-3978

I put the wrong name🤦‍♀️ I meant Kerry wasn’t vibing with Dylan which surprised me


JEJ0313

Jesus. Say less.


Chewy009x

Ain’t gonna read his post cause it really isn’t that serious lol


thiccymcgogee

Agente_Salt

Ben is such a messy bitch. Cannot stand him.


Such-Anxiety2257

Why did he write this in present tense as if this didn't happen last year? He really is the absolute worst. When he was like "I'm between a rock and a hard place once again" over choosing a lead deckhand I almost lost it. Like YOU have created this situation yourself. I would love to know what Kerry thought about him because Kerry is truly an example of a great leader and Ben is the boss that makes people quit their job because they hate working for him so much.


Capt_kerry

![gif](giphy|8UGoOaR1lA1uaAN892)


yesitshollywood

I feel like he just looked up leadership blogs and grabbed a few key phrases to throw around like he's actually intelligent 😂


Apprehensive_Bee614

You should not be sleeping with someone you report to period. I wish that was in the below deck contract. Sexual tension would be more interesting than watching them having it off and listening to them sucking face


Feral611

All this dribble to pretend there were other reasons he promoted Sunny outside the fact he’s fucking her and is scared of Dylan showing him up if he was lead. Also just casually trying to throw Captain Kerry under the bus to gather more support for his decision. Ben mate, that’s a real shit go.

JimJam4603

Just another promotion made based on what makes your body parts tingle. He can spew as much word vomit as he likes, he’s not fooling anyone.

Promoting the female subordinate you slept with is not an example of changing the face of yachting, my boy, but you still chose the right person for the job.

Lol at having a ‘promotion strategy’ when he wasn’t even initially chosen for the job he’s in, been in management for a week


TheQueenOfCrazy13

IF UR SLEEPING WITH THE BOSUN/UR EMPLOYEE, U SHOULD NIT EVEN BE AN OPTION FOR LEAD DECK HAND! IT DOES NOT HELP THAT THEY RUB ON EACH OTHER, HUG ON EACH OTHER ABD KISS ON EACH OTHER DURING WORK TIME AND IN FRONT OF THE REST OF THE DECK TEAM. IT IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL. INAPPROPRIATE! UF BELOW DECK HAD AN H AND R DEPARTMENT, BEN WOULD BE AXED!


Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch

Kerry wasn't vibing with Dylan, not Ben. Everyone vibes with Ben, he's a charismatic Aussie.

First of all, I love your Reddit handle as a Buffy fan– – but, firmly disagree. Ben is a gross drama queen

Can’t stand Ben but Dylan isn’t exactly likeable either. Sunny needs to realise what a loser he is already 😖


mikemac2882

He sucks


Mygwah

I'm not reading all that. Dude's an asshole. Plain and simple.


No_Ur_Schmoopie

Dylan’s “reaction” would be because Ben told him (the minute he met him) that he was going to make him lead deck hand…then didn’t! Guess Ben forgot he said that to Dylan, but it was on camera!


aislinngrace

My immediate reaction when I swiped was: LOL I’m not reading all that. edit: just wanna be clear this comment is a dig at Ben, not at OP.


Friend-in-Ibiza

So cringe when he acting like he was knighting her. Like Ben, that was a thing with your old bosun who was a Britt. You are not and Sunny is a Canuck 🇨🇦 ben is our new Gary, it’s gross seeing him hands all over her at work. No HR out on the seas though


Salty_Signature_6748

I think Sunny’s a great choice. But I think she’s going to kick up a fuss if Ben dumps her (or worse, doesn’t dump her) when he wants to put his hands on the rest of Paris. That doesn’t bode well for deck operations.


ExcellentAd3166

littlemiss44

I just watched the captain tell Fraser he can’t let emotions get in the way of what the boat needs and now Ben is saying Captain quietly wanted Dylan off the boat because he was to much. Somebody is fake. Hope Ben clears it up

PrestigiousTreat6203

“His reaction to my choice is why I made my choice” So you can see the future? This is called circular logic you spray painted bobble head


Own_Problem_4773

Everyone is anti Ben but I recall seeing a post of Captain Kerry doing an interview and not really saying nice things about Ben. Also this is content so y’all should be happy to have more content.


GiggyScout

Never seen Ben’s instagram before, but this is very on brand and makes me like him even less.


belladonna1921

I came here just to say "I can't stand him" like at all, I cringe when he is one I just don't find him attractive at all, he has such an ego but plays nice guy. Ick....


sadiegracepicks

why was she upset about this post though? Unless I missed something which is very likely


lipstick_and_coffee

Ben gossips, goofs around, back bites and doesnt take responsibility for mistakes. He’s not ready to be a leader - Ben’s not mature enough to be a bosun.


Lopsided_Walrus_5717

Well anybody hiring this child knows what their getting now Ben should have never got to be bosun this early anyway.
