Is anyone watching this? The first two episodes are free through Amazon Instant Video (not only for Prime members), so I checked it out last night. Don't think I will continue to watch...the only somewhat likeable one in the bunch that I could find was the gay porn star, David. I really don't care about the drunken hookups and brawls to come between the other crew members. Aren't tv viewers tired of that stuff yet? The second episode was ok only because the passengers were a group of amusing gay fashion photographers - now they would be worth watching a show about, imo, but they got kicked off the yacht because someone in their party left drugs lying around, so I doubt Bravo's going to offer them a deal any time soon!

It was on last night while I was doing other stuff but what I caught of it I don't know that I can get into it unless nothing else on but infomericals.

oh, I thought I caught the very first eppy and it was the one with the gay photographers.
I had thought I would watch a couple more times before giving up on it.

The first episode was only half an hour and it basically just introduced everyone. You didn't miss much.

I am still not completely sure how I feel about this show. I have watch both episodes and am torn how I feel. It certainly isn't riveting. If there was something better on at that time I would probably watch that instead of this.

I didnt realize a boat that size need that large of a crew. If someone has diagram of its inside Im really curious on the space, I cant imagine that kitchen bigger than a closet.
That another thing on size of the boats the camera crew, I wonder how many filming.

I kinda like the show but I can see it could get old and will seem repetitive as same crew, same ship and they all hang out together off work. I guess with the tips they get its not a bad life.
I guess the only changing factor is type of guests, then I wonder if they are true guests or do not mind cameras.

I have last night episode DVR but I think Dave porn star boyfriend proposed to him from a posting today. Dave Bradberry, 'Below Deck' Crew Member, Gets Engaged To Gay Porn Actor Trevor Knight (VIDEO)
IMO would suck if your out of town maybe months?

Yeah, he did propose. David told the crew about his past and that of his BF. I really like David.

maybe,not sure but maybe the show would be more interesting if (A) we saw a different ship and/or crew weekly OR if this crew were more likeable. I can't stand any of the women.

I would like to get a more clear idea as to the way their shifts work. It appears they work about 18 out of 24 hours

My ex brother in law worked on a yacht and had some interesting stories to tell about their adventures. The guests were all pretty demanding and some portion of the crew had to be available 24 hours until the charter was done.

I was scheduling some new series starting next Monday (28th) and I saw my DVR has this series programmed so looks like Below Deck is coming back. I noticed on Bravo site, looks like the same cast unfortunately as you know each character dynamic is. I would prefer a new crew or multiple crews each week.
