‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’: Who Is Chef Ileisha Dell?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans met Chef Ileisha Dell on the Season 4 premiere . The show returned on Monday, April 10. It showed the return of fan favorites and plenty of fresh faces. There’s also a new chef on the sailing yacht. For the first time in BDSY’s history, there’s a female chef on board. Fans will get to know her in the new season. Keep reading to learn more.

Who is Chef Ileisha Dell?

Season 4 introduced fans to new crew members. One of those new faces aboard the Parsifal III is Chef Ileisha Dell. She has experience in the culinary industry. In the Season 4 trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Ileisha shares that she’s a “perfectionist when it comes to cooking.” She might be a little hard on herself when it comes to pulling out a five-star cuisine for the charter guests.

While she’s cooked for years, this is her first time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Ileisha hails from Byron Bay, Australia. She knows her way around the galley and has cooked her way around the world. According to her BravoTV bio , Ileisha’s lengthy resume shows off her 17 years of culinary experience. She prides herself as being “Sydney’s most prestigious kitchens as a pastry chef.”

Ileisha also cooked with chef Matt Moran on his television series. She also moved to Los Angeles, where she currently resides. In 2014, she decided to become a yacht chef. From there, Bravo approached her with an opportunity to appear on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . When she’s not working on yachts, Ileisha loves to spend time near the ocean.

Debut on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4

Ileisha’s Instagram feed documents her travels from across the globe. She loves to “stay in tune with her creativity.” Some of her interests include “photography, film, interior design, yoga, and scouting for vintage glassware.” Ileisha is working in the perfect industry where she can hook up with anyone she wants. Most fans already know the hookups that take place thanks to first officer Gary King .

She’s not in a relationship at this time. Ileisha spends most of her time with her friends or family members. It’s unclear whether she hooks up with one of the crew members this season. Plenty of hooking up will take place on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4.

New episodes of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 air on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. You can watch new episodes the following day on Peacock.

Ileisha Dell, Below Deck Sailing Yacht chef, showcased her culinary creativity, interview

By cristine struble | jul 10, 2023.

While the crew drama might have Bravo fans hungry for more, Ileisha Dell, Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 chef, never succumbed to the occasional rough patches. From the multi-course meals to making fresh pasta, the celebrated chef took each wave of new charter guests in stride. During a recent interview, Chef Ileisha shared why she felt home in the galley and whether she would step back into another charter season.

Fans of any Bravo Below Deck show appreciate that the crew is one of the reasons why people watch every week. For food lovers, the show’s chefs have impressed viewers with their ability to create 5-star meals in somewhat limited conditions. On Below Deck Sailing Yacht, the combination of the tight galley space and the “heeling” require the chefs to continually react.

Recently, FoodSided spoke with Ileisha Dell, the chef on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4. While Ileisha has been a professional chef for almost two decades and has worked on many yachts, stepping into the Bravo world is a different experience. Although it was her first time to be “on a screen,” she said that she was “super excited to be part of it after being in the yachting world for so long.”

Given her vast experience, Ileisha appreciated that she wanted to give the guests the best possible experience. Even though she might have been more tied to the yacht on the show than in her previous experiences, there were certain concepts that she knew how to execute well. As seen throughout the season, the guests raved about her food.

Chef Ileisha impressed with two particular items from Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4. One, she made fresh pasta. As a trained pastry chef, she enjoys making the dish from scratch.

Specifically, Chef Ileisha said, “I love making fresh pasta and I made an effort to make fresh pasta on every charter. Mediterranean inspired dishes, with fresh tomatoes and olive oil is favorite.”

Although that dish might sound simple, it is her choice to celebrate fresh, local ingredients that make the meals memorable. Having traveled the world, the chef understands that the best dishes are ones that are sourced from the local markets.

Even though the guests’ preferences might feel over the top, Chef Ileisha was up to every challenge, including a 10-course tasting menu. Although it appeared daunting, she took it in stride and somehow kept smiling.

Sometimes she questioned “how am I going to get this done on only four hours of sleep,” but somehow she always pulled it off. Speaking to how she persevered, Chef Ileisha said, “burn out is real but you have to have that inner strength when nothing is left. You have to make the guests’ time amazing, and that idea pushes me through.”

Looking at the plethora of food that Chef Ileisha made throughout the season, it was extremely impressive. Since she never shied away from baking, especially given her pastry background, she believes that knowledge helped her in her career. As she mentioned, “you can’t just toss something in when it comes to pastry. All that training has helped me. Even though I do not have a sweet tooth, I love making pastries. It might be one of the reasons why I make pasta so often.”

Even though she has worked on yachts before, Chef said that these small, three-day charters allowed her to push her creativity. She mentioned that it allowed her to try new food options throughout the season. It was different than her previous experience where she cooked for the same family time and again.

While the guests are always the focus, the personal dynamics between the crew is the drama fills each episode. For Chef Ileisha, she said that she was “super grateful for the crew.” Although the stories would filter through the galley, she mentioned that she was often too busy to let it all overcome her. Saying, “honestly, it was like in one ear and out the other. If it wasn’t for the cooking, maybe I would have been in the drama more, but I was too busy.”

With Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 over, Chef Ileisha said that she would be willing to step back into that galley for another go, especially if the other ladies of Parsifall III would be part of the crew.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs on Bravo Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET and can be streamed on Peacock. Chef Ileisha Dell was Season 4’s chef.

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 4: Get the Details on the Cast, Premiere Date, Location and More

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Setting sail once again! Below Deck Sailing Yacht is back for a fourth season. Keep reading for details on the Bravo hit's premiere date, cast, location and more .

When Does 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 4 Premiere?

The new season kicks off on Monday, April 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes stream the following day on Peacock. It comes after Below Deck wraps up season 10 and has its reunion episode on Monday, March 27.

What Cast Members Are Returning to 'Below Deck Sailing' Yacht Season 4?

Captain Glenn Shephard  will once again skipper Parsifal III and he will have his dream team back when it comes to the head of departments. Chief Stew  Daily Kelliher  returns for her third season overseeing the interior, while  Gary King  is back for his third season in charge of the deck crew. He was promoted from bosun to first mate in season 3, after going to work for Glenn full-time aboard  Parsifal III  even when the show isn't filming.

Daisy and Gary together again will give fans a chance to see if they finally decide to pursue a romance. The pair had a passionate albeit drunken make out session in a hot tub in season 3, and notorious ladies' man Gary kept trying to kindle something more with Daisy, who rebuffed a boatmance and wanted to remain good friends.

Colin MacRae  returns once again as the boat's chief engineer and Gary's best pal. The only department head to feature a new cast member will be in the galley. Which leads us to....

Who Are the New Cast Members on 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 4?

Since season 3's beloved chef  Marco Spaziani  is now on dry land after opening his own restaurant in Los Angeles, new chef  Ileisha Dell  will be whipping up the 5-star cuisine that is expected by guests aboard the super-yacht. The Byron Bay, Australia-based cook says she's a "perfectionist when it comes to food," in the season's teaser trailer. 

But things don't go so smoothly for the new galley chief. While her "cooking impresses the guests, her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct," according to Bravo's press release.

Daisy's new stews include  Lucy Edmunds  and  Mads Herrera , while Gary also has a new team, with deckhands  Chase Lemacks  and  Alex Propson  coming aboard. Alex should prove to be an experienced addition as he's a licensed small boat captain .

Hunky, long-haired Alex has already impressed one Bravolebrity before Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's premiere. He has been seen in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and rumored to be part of the current cast filming Winter House . When a Bravo fan page shared several photos of gorgeous Alex, including a shirtless snap, Vanderpump Rules star Katie Maloney drooled, "Excuse me?!?!” in the comments. In a fun twist, the new season of Winter House features Katie's ex-husband and VPR costar, Tom Schwartz . 

Where Is Season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Set?

Guests will be treated to one of the best locations in the Mediterranean , as the season will take place in Sardinia, the largest island off the coast of Italy.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Recap: Yes, Chef!

Below deck sailing yacht.

Ileisha’s ten-course dinner goes on for so long that we pick up right in the middle of it, so I’ll take it as another opportunity to shower her with praise. Not only does she absolutely kill it with this massive meal, but Ileisha has literally been our proxy throughout this season, reacting to all the drama as if she were one of us viewers, and for that I’m grateful. This episode seals the deal for her being one of the franchise’s best chefs.

While the guests have their minds blown by the food, Gary is reeling from Mads’s comment about her making out with Alex because, as Colin says, the “truth hurts.” When asked by a producer why Gary was offended by her joke, Mads says it’s because of his ego, which is probably true. It’s why he’s been acting the way he has with Daisy since finding out she kissed Alex before his arrival on the boat.

The next morning and throughout the rest of the day, Gary is so desperate for attention that he constantly hugs and flirts with Daisy, and she tells us that she doesn’t want to put any boundaries between them so that it doesn’t put their friendship at risk, which is frankly stupid. This behavior has been going on for far too long, and some boundaries are necessary for Gary and his advances. The fact that Daisy’s only attempt at shutting things down has been telling Gary that Colin will be upset about their flirting before ultimately disregarding her statement and being affectionate with him again is also pretty pathetic.

Daisy then asks Gary and Chase to wear the Speedos she bought for them while the guests head out for water sports because they’ll appreciate the eye candy. In a confessional, Chase says that even though he’s not the type of guy who can “rock some nut huggers,” he’ll wear them if it means keeping the guests happy. Watching Captain Glenn give Gary a wedgie afterward makes it all worth it.

Later in the laz, Gary tells Alex that he doesn’t think he and Mads were ever a couple, which, yeah! Congrats on finally figuring that out! Mads has made it clear that she didn’t want a relationship since day freaking one. In a confessional, Alex says that seeing the “dysfunctional” dynamic between Gary and Mads makes him wonder why it has gone on for this long and that he wishes he could help Mads escape. Mads is a grown-up, so I don’t necessarily think she needs saving from Gary. If Mads wanted things with Gary to ultimately end, she would have shut it down a while ago, but she wants to get laid, so she goes to Gary to get her needs met since there aren’t other options on the boat that will do that for her. Once the season is over, they’ll never look back. Then Alex tells a producer he’s better than Gary, a no-brainer. At this point, literally any man is better than the guy who seems to only own one pair of underwear.

This evening is the unicorn-themed pride party — which includes a “fan dance” performance by underwear-clad Chase and Gary — and dinner. The décor is so festive and vibrant in a way that most of the parties haven’t looked this season. I’m proud of the interior for getting their shit together in this area; it’s what these lovely guests deserve. For dinner, Ileisha does a six-course meal, with each course representing a color of the rainbow (side note: There are seven colors in the rainbow, sorry, chef!) and Daisy decides to have the crew members wear the color that matches the course they’re serving, which is such a thoughtful and creative idea. Not only did Ileisha impress everyone with her ten-course meal, but she once again raised the bar with this beautiful and memorable dinner showcasing her creativity.

As the guests eat, Daisy checks in on Colin in the engine room to discover that he’s annoyed again because of Gary’s behavior. Colin tells her that he thinks if Daisy directly told Gary she has feelings for Colin, then it would make him finally take a step back from being flirtatious toward her. Daisy makes it seem like it’s not a big deal by saying that Gary is aware that she’s with Colin, as if that will make him stop his weird and disrespectful behavior.

Once everyone heads to bed, Colin tells Gary about the three-way kiss between Alex, Lucy, and Mads during the last night out, which knocks the wind out of him. Especially since Mads just cracked a joke about making out with Alex, I’m sure Gary’s ego is as bruised as ever. Colin, meanwhile, is fully taking pleasure in the karma Gary is experiencing, and I relate. It’s quite thrilling to see a man who treats women like objects he can toss around get a taste of his own medicine. And since when was a little peck on the lips a full-blown make out? Gary needs to stop overreacting about every single thing.

The guests depart the next morning, and I’m genuinely sad to see them go. This charter felt far too short, probably because of the back-to-back episodes, but I wish we got to spend more time with them. Bryan expresses his gratitude for the crew, sharing that he never expected them to embrace him and the guests as warmly as they did, which honestly brought me to tears. In a sea of downright villainous charter guests, it’s nice to know that a few kindhearted ones still exist. Here’s hoping this wonderful group will return in a future season. To make things even better, Bryan and Co. left a whopping $30,000 tip, which marks  Sailing Yacht ’s biggest tip ever. Ileisha deserves at least 50 percent of this tip because her food made this charter stand out.

Since the final charter of the season begins the next day, the department heads meet for a preference sheet shortly after, where they learn that the primary’s friends are a throuple. Gary suggests that the third person in the relationship is a “garnish on top,” and Daisy asks if he’s the garnish on top of her relationship with Colin, which is so unnecessary. At this point, Daisy is also playing a role in Gary’s continued flirting with her, and it seems like she might even enjoy it a little. In addition to a “glamazon” party and a beach workout, the primary, Todd, also requests that the crew take part in an ABC party, which Captain Glenn surprisingly informs us stands for Anything But Clothes. (The fact that Captain Glenn knows what an ABC party is but not a throuple is hilarious.) Also, guests demanding that the crew take part in stupid activities for their entertainment needs to be banned. Not only is it dumb, but it keeps them from completing the tasks that their job asks of them.

While the crew doesn’t get a night out, they’re treated to a private dinner by a chef from a local restaurant cooking for them on the boat. During the evening, Alex asks Mads why she’s so bloated (which is an extremely out-of-pocket question) and Mads says it’s because she’s on her period before adding that she’s joking. Even though it’s technically a “school night,” everyone still manages to get shitfaced and leave the boat looking like a disaster, which makes Captain Glenn annoyed the following morning.

When Alex checks in with the boys and recalls walking in on Gary going down on Mads the previous night, he says that he’s surprised because Mads told him she was on her period, which shocks Chase and Colin. When Gary finds out, he’s pissed and rushes down to the saloon to confront Mads, yelling at her for not having the “common decency” to tell him not to go down on her if she was on her period. First of all, Alex, Chase, and Colin all don’t have the right to spread information like that. Plus, she literally said it was a joke, but I get the feeling that Alex mostly wanted to piss Gary off. Second, the fact that Gary thought it was remotely okay to address this in front of Lucy and the cameras is disgusting and feels very similar to when he revealed that he and Daisy had sex. The deed was already done, so there’s no point in getting overly angry about it.

Gary is absolutely immature and vile to the point of extreme discomfort, and just when you think he reached the lowest point possible, his actions manage to unlock another level. The women of  Sailing Yacht  need to unionize against him.

Meet 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht's' New Chef, Ileisha Dell

Apr. 10 2023, Published 6:20 p.m. ET

Spinoffs keep many network franchises going, and Bravo ’s Below Deck is no exception. Within the decade the cruise-centered show has been on the network, it has shipped out five spinoffs, including Below Deck Sailing Yacht , which first aired in February 2020.

In April 2023, the spinoff returns with Captain Glenn Shephard , and department heads Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher , first mate Gary King , and engineer Colin MacRae .

The new season also introduces us to several new yacht team members , including a new chef named Ileisha Dell. Ileisha has tons of experience and, as she explained in the Season 4 trailer , is a “perfectionist when it comes to cooking.” See what else we found out about Ileisha from Below Deck Sailing Yacht .

Ileisha Dell had over a decade of culinary experience before ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht.’

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is Ileisha’s first time on reality TV. However, the Byron Bay, Australia, native, knows what she’s doing in the kitchen. Before joining Below Deck , Ileisha had 17 years of culinary experience behind her, as her show bio states she has worked in “Sydney’s most prestigious kitchens as a pastry chef.”

Ileisha also collaborated with famous Australian chef Matt Moran to cook on one of his many TV shows.

Eventually, Ileisha moved to Los Angeles, her current home base. In 2014, after years of being in kitchens on land, she moved into her dream position as a yacht chef, which she told Bravo gave her a chance to merge “her passion of cooking, traveling the world and working and living on the water.”

Even when Ileisha isn’t working in the water, those who stumble across the chef’s Instagram will see the 30-something artist has a strong affinity for the water . In addition to swimming or frolicking in the ocean, Ileisha enjoys stimulating activities that help her “stay in tune with her creativity,” like “photography, film, interior design, yoga, and scouting for vintage glassware.”

Is ‘Below Deck’ newbie Ileisha Dell dating anyone?

While Ileisha undoubtedly takes her work seriously, she does have some personal time when she can. However, does the Below Deck Sailing Yacht newcomer’s adventures include a special someone?

Based on her Instagram page, it looks like Ileisha isn't in a relationship.

The reality star’s social media mainly includes pictures of her alone or with her family, co-workers, and friends.

She has a 2018 photo of her and a potential romantic partner posing together in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. But it's unclear who the mystery man actually is, or if they were or are still together.

If Ileisha is single, Parsifal III is the place to be. The yacht has had several love triangles and hookups, and it looks like Season 4 will have more of the same!

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 premieres on Monday, April 10, 2023, at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.

Captain Glenn Shepherd returns to helm the Parsifal III. This is his fourth season on the series, but he's no stranger to the ship. He's been helming the Parsifal III for over a decade. 

Captain Glenn will be joined once again by Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, first mate Gary King and engineer Colin MacRae. 

New to the series are chef Ileisha Dell, stews Lucy Edmunds and Mads Herrera and deckhands Chase Lemacks and Alex Propson. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 plot

Bravo offered this synopsis of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 and it gives you a good sense of what's coming in the new season: 

"Capt. Glenn and his comeback team Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin MacRae resume their responsibilities aboard Parsifal III, along with new, dynamic crew members, as they set sail in Sardinia, Italy. Capt. Glenn realizes that his laid-back leadership style has allowed his crew to become too comfortable and starts taking charge of quality control in the interior department, much to Daisy's dismay. 

"In the galley, Chef Ileisha’s cooking impresses the guests, but her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct. On deck, strong personalities collide, and a power struggle results in a near mutiny, as Gary clashes with his new overconfident deckhand, Chase. 

"Two overlapping love triangles further complicate the dynamics on-board, and a shocking hookup puts Colin, Daisy and Gary’s friendship in jeopardy. With a near collision, fire, crew rebellion, gruesome guest injury and two different potentially season-ending engine failures, this is the most captivating and unpredictable season yet of Below Deck Sailing Yacht ."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 cast: Meet the new yachties joining Captain Glenn Shephard

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 details have finally dropped, including the yachties working with the beloved Captain Glenn Shephard.

Monsters and Critics reported on Wednesday that Bravo dropped the first look teaser, revealing it will be another jaw-dropping season of the sailing show.

Despite speculation that he was sitting out of Season 4, Colin MacRae has also returned, rounding out Below Deck Sailing Yacht dream team fans have come to love with Colin, Gary, and Daisy.

Those three need no introduction, having appeared in Seasons 2 and 3.

However, a few newbies are being thrown into the mix, so let’s meet them.

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 interior team

Chef Ileisha Dell takes over the galley and has some big shoes to fill. Season 3 chef Marcos Spaziani was a fan favorite and considered one of the most beloved chefs in the Below Deck family.

That being said, Ileisha has plenty of experience with over 17 years of cooking. In 2014 the Australian native combined her love of culinary and traveling to the role of yacht chef. According to her Bravo bio, she also enjoys photography, yoga, and looking for vintage treasures.

Daisy has two stews working for her again this season. One of them, Lucy Edmunds, looks like Scarlett Bentley from Season 3.

Lucy has a lot of hospitality experience but has only been yachting since the pandemic. The British beauty’s bubbly personality matches her love of a chill lifestyle.

It’s all about the blondes for the interior team this season. Mads Herrera rounds out the team. Her Bravo bio reveals Mads grew up on the water in South Florida. The blonde beauty has been yachting for two years, working primarily on day charters.

Gary is joined on deck by at least one guy who intends to give him a run for his money in the womanizer department.

Deckhand Alex Propson declares in the trailer he’s ready for a “hot European summer.” According to his Bravo bio, Alex has his captain’s license but works as a deckhand.

Last but not least is deckhand Chase Lemacks, a good ole southern boy from South Carolina. Chase has been primarily working on motor yachts, so a sailing yacht was quite challenging for him.

Those are just little bits of information about the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 newbies. Fans will have to tune in to learn more about these yachties and see what goes down between Gary, Daisy, and Colin.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' 's Gary Accuses Daisy of 'Spitefully Hooking Up' with Newly Single Colin in Season 4

"Everything is my fault. The guests aren't happy, it's my fault. I can't win. I'm constantly losing," Daisy Kelliher says in PEOPLE's exclusive trailer premiere for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae are making waves in season 4!

PEOPLE can exclusively premiere the trailer for the Bravo show 's latest season as Parsifal III 's Chief Stew and Chief Engineer return to navigate the waters near Sardinia, Italy, alongside Captain Glenn Shephard, First Mate Gary King and fresh batch of yachties.

"I've been with Parsifal for 13 years," Captain Glenn says at the start of the preview. "She had a lot of problems, but she's never let me down."

That is, until the yacht starts heeling — hard .

Sailing Yacht has been known for clanging pots and sliding utensils in its galley over the years, but season 4's tilt-fest takes things to a new level, with falling crew members, portholes that look like they're in a whirlpool swirl and one guest exclaiming, "Who needs a roller coaster? Holy cow!"

Still, Captain Glenn remains optimistic: "It looks like we got a good group of people here. I'm looking forward to a really good season."

Beyond the technical troubles (including a dud engine echoing season 2's bow thruster debacle ), it would seem the choppier waters will come in the form of the crew's personal entanglements and partying ways.

Like every year, Gary returns with a renewed promise to stay out of the drama and drunken carousing. "My intention is not to come in and hook up with a chick," he says. "I'm here to make money and have a good time and give guests good experiences."

But as sure as the tides ebb and flow, Gary — whose last season saw him hooking up with every available woman on the crew, including one surprisingly steamy hot tub makeout session with Daisy — is soon enough taking shots and preserving his reputation as Parsifal 's resident kissing bandit.

The carousing spirit is shared by many on on board, with new deckhand Alex Propson proclaiming this will be his "hot boy European summer," and steward Madison "Mads" Herrera saying, "I wouldn't be opposed to screwing the crew provided they know how to screw."

Most unexpectedly, though, Gary's longtime wingman Colin is finally stretching his own wings this season in his first filmed charter season without a girlfriend back on land.

"Who do you have your eye on, Colin? You're a single man," Gary asks innocently before the trailer cuts a sizzling shot of the Daisy and Colin kissing on one of the boat's staircases, then later in a crew bunk (hot tubs are so 2022).

As Colin and Daisy grow closer than ever, Gary becomes jealous and seems to miss the chase of being in a will-they-won't-they relationship with Daisy.

Though he assures Colin he likes Daisy "as a friend," he doesn't miss the opportunity to pour cold water on her connection with Colin.

"You know you like me deep down," he says, "and I feel you're hooking up to get back at me — spitefully hooking up."

As the drama and pressure escalate, Daisy says through tears: "Everything is my fault. The guests aren't happy, it's my fault. I can't win. I'm constantly losing."

She'd said earlier in the trailer that she needed to "to work on my stress levels," but it doesn't seem like that's on the horizon for this Sailing Yacht .

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

I'm convinced below deck sailing yacht season 5 will include gary king in the cast (was it filmed before the scandal), 8 troubling facts america’s sweethearts: dallas cowboys cheerleaders exposes.

• Lucy Edmunds healed from a back injury on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 and formed close friendships with her co-stars.
• Lucy is now in a relationship and expressed interest in returning to the franchise for another season as a second stew.
• Lucy's positive showing on the show earned her praise, as she stayed out of drama and focused on her role as a stew.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 stew Lucy Edmunds has healed from her infamous back injury. She joined the season as a stew under Captain Glenn Shephard and Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher. Like most of Daisy’s interior team, Lucy had an outgoing personality that meshed well with the Parsifal III’s crew. She was young, eager, and excited to work as a stew and be featured on the reality show. Contrary to her peers, Lucy didn’t get involved in drama or boatmances during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 . Instead, she focused on balancing work and play.

Lucky suffered a back injury at the start of the charter season. The incident became her most hectic moment, compared to more serious drama like Daisy’s love triangle with Gary King and Colin Macrae . She brought a lighthearted vibe to her work with her infectious personality. Lucy offered comedic relief in her confessional interviews with hilarious commentary on her fellow crew members and difficult charter guests. She was a great stew for Daisy, whom she grew close to. Since Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 has ended, Lucy has been busy.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Lucy Is In A Relationship

Lucy has a boyfriend.

Lucy is now in a relationship. She shared a picture with her partner on Instagram, and they smiled for a mirror selfie while dressed in formal attire in Spain. Lucy called him her “ Bestie ” in the caption of the Instagram post, where she looked strikingly stunning with her boyfriend. Notably, she was single but didn’t form boatmances on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4.

Lucy Is Still Close With Her Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 Costars

Lucy formed friendships with the cast.

Even though they aren’t sailing on the Parsifal III anymore, the stew has stayed close with her Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 co-stars. Lucy posted a series of pictures with her Below Deck yachties on Instagram, captioning the post, “ I miss them .” She posed for selfies with Daisy, Ileisha Josephine Dell, and Mads Herrera, and they were all dressed up. The Chief Stew reiterated her caption in the comments, writing, “ Miss you too gorgeous .”

Lucy's Journey On Below Sailing Yacht

Has lucy healed from her back injury.

Lucy had a positive showing on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4. She joined the crew as Daisy’s stew and worked hard in her role. However, after the first charter trip of the season, she suffered a back injury after the crew celebrated a night out. Lucy fell off a top bunk on the sailing yacht and hit something as she tumbled down. While she didn’t get hurt, she did receive two massive parallel slashes on her back due to the drop. Even though she was okay to continue working, she still has scars from the incident.

After her stumble, Lucy’s time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht was smooth sailing. She was not at the center of any conflict throughout the charter season. Instead, she channeled her energy into her work as a stew. Lucy was hilarious in her confessional interviews , where she ranted about the stressors of cleaning up after charter guests. During a clip of her cleaning a cabin, she said, “ I am disgusted. There is blood on the carpet, clothes everywhere. It stank of fish. I’m not your ****ing maid ,” but quickly rebutted her statement, saying, “ Well, I am.”

Will Lucy Ever Return To Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

Lucy is open to returning to the franchise.

Her fate with the franchise is uncertain, but Lucy should return for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. Unlike her co-workers, the stew kept out of all conflict and didn’t pursue romances with anyone on the sailing yacht. Lucy had to prove herself as one of Daisy’s stews and excelled in her role. There have been many one-and-done Below Deck yachties on the show, but she should be asked back for another season . Lucy was an asset to her crew and would make a great addition to the interior team on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5.

After the season wrapped, Lucy answered a fan question on her Instagram stories wondering if she’d return to the show. “ 100% defo ,” she wrote. “ Would love to make it to second stew .” With Lucy onboard for another season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , there’s no reason why the show shouldn’t ask her back. It will be interesting to see if she returns to Sailing Yacht or switches to another show from the franchise, such as Below Deck Mediterranean or Below Deck Down Under .

Lucy has been busy living her life since Below Deck Sailing Yacht . She’s healed from her infamous back injury and started a new relationship. Lucy said she would return to the franchise for another season, but it’s uncertain if she’s part of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 cast.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is now streaming on Peacock.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

*Availability in US

Not available

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is a spin-off of the Below Deck reality television series. Premiering on Bravo, the show follows the life of a Yacht crew as they attempt to navigate a busy Charter season in which many customers make use of a 177-foot sailing yacht. Over the first three seasons, the yacht has been to Greece, Croatia, and Spain.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht stars reflect on series as show's future remains uncertain

Below Deck Sailing Yacht stars are looking back on their time on the show as Season 5 remains up in the air.

The hit sailing show became the second spin-off in the Below Deck franchise.

Although Season 1 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht was blah at best, Captain Glenn Shephard returned for Season 2 with a new crew.

Captain Glenn, Daisy Kelliher, Colin MacRae, and Gary King turned the hit sailing show into a mega-hit, especially after Season 4, which saw a rift in the dream team.

Now, as Gary’s scandal seems to have plagued Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, some of the stars are reflecting on their experience on the show.

It’s easy to see some cast members are missing the sailing show as much as the fans do.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht stars reflect on the series as the show’s future remains uncertain

Alli Dore from Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 started the trip down memory lane with an Instagram post featuring several pictures of her castmates.

“How has it been three years since we filmed Below Deck Sailing Yacht? The funniest part is we spent half the season making out with each other and now we all hate each other 😂 Ok maybe not all, just most of us 🤭 Still one of the most fun experiences of my life and I wouldn’t change it for anything!,” she captioned the post that kicked off with a photo of her, Daisy and Dani Soares.

The comments section of Alli’s post had Daisy and Captain Glenn Shephard show up to respond to the epic season.

Alli, for her part, also added that Gary King wasn’t in any of the pictures, and that was simply an accident to set the record straight before the trolls started coming at her.

Meanwhile Below Deck Med Sailing Yacht Season 3 star Scarlett Bentley used IG Stories to share a cast photo reveal it was 2 years ago the finale aired.

“2 YEARS AGO TODAY SEASON FINALE HOW,” she wrote tagging Daisy, Colin, Gary, Captain Glenn, Barnaby Birkbeck, and Kelsie Goglia. Even though Ashley Marti was in the photo she was not tagged.

Gary and Colin both reshared the picture and messaged it to their Instagram Stories.

Has Below Deck Sailing Yacht been canceled?

The future of Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been all the buzz since Below Deck Med Season 9 hit Bravo airwaves before Season 5 of the sailing show.

Last summer, Gary was accused of sexual misconduct by a production team member. This came after photos of Gary filming Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht were leaked.

There’s speculation that the scandal has caused a delay in the sailing show airing.

Bravo confirmed that Below Deck Season 12 was coming but has been radio silent about Below Deck Sailing Yacht and Below Deck Down Under.

These trips down memory lane fan us wondering if the former stars of Below Deck Sailing Yacht know something we don’t. Hopefully, that is not the case because it’s seriously so freaking good.

In another Below Deck Sailing Yacht, news, as Monsters and Critics previously reported, Daisy revealed her sister Bonnie was nearly killed in a moped accident as she issued a serious warning to fans.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is currently on hiatus on Bravo. Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Peacock.

‘The Bear’ Season 3’s Romantic Implications: Which Ships Sunk And Set Sail Ahead Of Season 4?

Where to Stream:

‘the bear’ backlash was inevitable — but calling it a “bad show” is disingenuous, ‘the bear’ season 3 episode 4 recap: “violet”, ‘the bear’ season 3’s “ice chips” is a soul-stirring stunner that lets abby elliott and jamie lee curtis shine.

To ship, or not to ship, that is the question for fans of The Bear .

Since Season 1 of FX’s Emmy-winning comedy premiered back in June 2022, a host of viewers have been craving a side of romance to go with their hefty helpings of culinary chaos. But a hunger for romantic relationships on the critically-acclaimed cooking show isn’t universal. Other fans, who hope the show opts to celebrate and deepen platonic friendships in the kitchen, see romance between the Chicago chefs as a big, fat, non-negotiable no. So what’s the status of The Bear ships after Season 3? Glad you asked!

Going into The Bear ‘s third season, a number of viewers were convinced there were “romantic implications” between Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) . Others hoped that Sydney and Marcus (Lionel Boyce) would eventually hit it off, especially after he asked her out in Season 2. Another giddy group started boldly shipping Sydney and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). And some who felt all the above chefs should stay single thought the go-to ship in Season 3 should be The Bear and Success. (They weren’t wrong!)

In the days leading up to Season 3’s June 26 premiere The Ringer dubbed the series “a love story between Sydney and Carmy” and published a comprehensive list of all their most romantically-charged moments. When asked if there was any talk in the room about the online chatter of romantic implications between Syd and Carm’s relationship during FX’s Season 3 press conference, however, Edebiri said “No,” and White confirmed, adding, “No, there was no talk in the rooms about any romantic implications.”

In Season 3, Sydney and Carmy definitely, absolutely, 100% do not start dating, nor do they kiss, nor are they on particularly great terms! If we’re being honest, several ships seem to have sailed in Season 3, while other unexpected pairings may be cropping up. Whether or not you’re thirsty for romantic connections on The Bear , the ship wars rage on. So Decider is here to share our suggested pairings ahead of Season 4, plus some Ships On Deck in case you want to explore other options.

Carmy And Therapy

Bet you didn’t see this one coming, but if we’re being serious, you should have! Before we can even begin to romantically ship The Chairman of the Tortured Chefs Department with anyone, Season 3 proved he has some serious trauma to sort through. The man swore off giving and receiving amusement and enjoyment for goodness sake! If Carmy’s seeing anyone right now, it should be a licensed mental health professional who specializes in anxiety, stress, grief, abuse, family conflict, relentless and extremely gorgeous montages, etc.

Ships On Deck: Carmy and Claire (Clairmy?!), SydCarmy

If Carmy puts in the work and finds himself in a healthy place, by all means, go for it, chef! Season 3 also stressed that this man is in no way, shape, or form over Claire Bear (Molly Gordon). I know everyone thinks she’s a deeply irritating Manic Pixie Dream Girl, but she low-key also seems nice and appears to make him happy! I, for one, would like to see this man have some joy in his life, so if he really thinks Claire is “peace,” fine! That said, I must address the SydCarmy of it all, because I’d be lying if I said at several points in the series I didn’t see it! The table scene ? The flashbacks of her that helped pull him out of a panic attack? Romantic implications were romantic implication-ing. That said, I love Syd too much to ship her with Carm in Season 3 and you should, too. He was NOT showing up for her in Season 3 and she deserves more. If Carm betters himself in Season 4, then we can talk. Otherwise, there’s a new Hot Chef in town…

Sydney And Chef Luca

The Bear fans crowned Will Poulter’s Luca the official Hot Chef of Season 2 after watching him mentor Marcus in Copenhagen and he made his triumphant return in Season 3’s finale to attend Ever’s funeral service. There, Carmy introduced him to Sydney, and when I tell you those two Hit It Off instantly — like, Chris Storer, if you’re reading this play “Enchanted (Taylor’s Version)” immediately. The two made small talk during dinner, but after the party, they headed to Ever’s kitchen for some quality conversation under the “Every Second Counts” sign. Swoon! The two dove deep into discussion about their families, asked thoughtful questions, shared laughs and cheesy grins, and straight-up got their flirt on. The chemistry was electric and effortless, and their intimate scene was set to “We Close Our Eyes” by Susanna Hoffs, which features lyrics like, “And if you come to me and if you touch my hand I might just slip away/ I might just disappear, who am I/And if you think I’m worth it/And if you think it’s not too late/You might start falling/If we don’t try too hard/We might start falling in love.” I’M JUST SAYING. SydLuca danced and laughed at Syd’s afterparty later that night, and the chef is staying in Chicago for a few months, so we’ll see what Season 4 has in store.

Ships On Deck: SydCarmy, SydRichie, SydMarcus, SydNewJob

We already broke down SydCarmy, and honestly, if Carmy doesn’t start treating Sydney better we might be shipping SydNewJob in Season 4. SydRichie made no sense to me at first, but during a recent rewatch I did say “OH!” out loud in response to several of their scenes — but in Season 3, the romantic implications weren’t there. Richie also has several ships of his own, so let’s move on to SydMarcus. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see sweet, genuine potential there. Marcus was (and perhaps still is?) clearly interested, but Sydney essentially changes the subject whenever the topic comes up, so it feels like she’s not? And that’s a huge factor in shipping.

Richie And Chef Jess

Hear me out, people: Richie and Chef Jess (Sarah Ramos) could be a match made in Ever. She played a role in his Season 2 “Forks” epiphany, gave him the opportunity to prove himself in the kitchen, and welcomed him back with forks in hand during the funeral service. As we saw in a Season 3 phone call, the two have been in touch since Richie’s iconic five-day run at the restaurant. And in the Season 3 finale, they share a sweet moment in which Richie asks if there’s a secret to staying “all pumped.” She says she surrounds herself with people who are better than her (outside of work), then later at Sydney’s afterparty we see them laughing and dancing together. Richie clearly respects and admires Jess, and — per her advice — he also wants to surround himself with people like her to continue growing. He’s been working hard to move on from Eva’s mom, Tiff — whose wedding is quickly approaching — so if the exes have no plans to rekindle their romance, I think I might officially be Team Jessie. (I’m not good at couple names, sorry!)

Ships On Deck: Richie and Tiffany

Let the record show that after The Bear introduced us to Tiffany in Season 2’s “Fishes” and the two shared the sweetest, goofiest scene in Donna’s bedroom, I was hardcore shipping Richie and Tiff. Honestly, I wanted the two to reconcile even after I learned she was engaged! But then…

Tiffany And Frank

As long last, The Bear Season 3 introduced Tiff’s fiancé Frank. and he’s played by none other than JOSH HARTNETT . ( A known fan of  The Bear !) Not only that, but when Frank opens the door to his house for Richie and Eva, Taylor Swift’s “Long Live (Taylor’s Version)” is playing in the background. He’s handsome! He’s awkward and gentle! He listens to Eva’s favorite artist! He lets her call him Waldo! He also takes time to have a heart-to-heart with Richie, in which he admits he’s “feeling really shitty” for not giving him a heads up before asking Tiff to marry him. “I also know that like, this can be a little weird. And I don’t want to add to the weirdness. I want things to be good. And you and I are probably gonna spend a lot of time together. So just — and I like that,” Frank frantically continues in another show of solid casting from  The Bear . “Whatever. I’m talking way too much.” If Tiff’s fiancé was a bad dude or a bad potential step-dad, he’d be history to me. But if Richie’s giving them the green light, Tiff’s happy, and Josh Hartne— I mean Frank is a standup guy, I think I’m aboard the ship.

Ships On Deck: Tiffany and Richie

That said, if The Bear decides Tiff and Richie are meant to be, you know I’m open to switching teams again.

Sammy Fak And Haunting

You know Neil (Matty Matheson) and Ted Fak (Ricky Staffieri), but Season 3 introduced a long-lost Fak brother, Sammy (John Cena) , who introduced a running “haunting” bit to The Bear that is simply delightful. It’s not clear if Sammy has a significant other, but he’s honestly so good at haunting that we hope to see him to spend more time doing that in the future.

Chefs And Self-Love

Before we go, we do want to say that The Bear is doing just fine without romance. It’s an Emmy-winning series with stellar performances, writing, directing, and execution on all levels, so if the show doesn’t opt for romantic storylines, that’s ultimately fine. What we would like to see, either way, is for these characters to start LOVING THEMSELVES. Give more talented chefs their “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” moments, you cowards! They deserve it.

This Below Deck Sailing Yacht Preference Sheet Might Be the Biggest “Nightmare” of Season 4

Chef Ileisha Dell called this  Below Deck Sailing Yacht  primary guest’s needs “brutal.” 

Over the past few seasons of  Below Deck Sailing Yacht , we’ve seen several interesting demands made from primary guests — both via their preference sheets and made last-minute on board. 

How to Watch

Earlier in Season 4, for example, the crew felt particularly pressed by charter guest John Cerasani and his family , who sent the interior back and forth to the kitchen for grilled cheese sandwiches, espresso martinis, Oreo milkshakes, and more. 

On Episodes 14 and 15 of Season 4, we watched as the crew, led by Captain Glenn Shephard , chief stew Daisy Kelliher , first officer  Gary King , and chef Ileisha Dell took in a slew of demands from primary guest Bryan and his pals, who filled out a multiple-page preference sheet with some interesting requests.

To review the details for an upcoming charter, Glenn sat down with Daisy, Gary, and Ileisha to prepare.

During the sit-down, the crew was surprised to find that the primary guest, North Carolina real estate pro Bryan Guarnieri, had three pages worth of preferences for the vacation with his friends — much to Daisy’s eye-rolling.

While some of these requests felt a bit, should we say, overboard (needing the toilet paper to be folded into “roses one day and sailboats the next”), nothing compared to the 10-course meal that was asked of Ileisha, who later called the request “brutal” (more on that later). 

“This is literally a nightmare,” Ileisha says during a confessional. 

The Primary Guest’s 10-Course Meal 

Outside of some specialty snacks and aesthetic desires, the most demanding of Guarnieri’s requests was definitely the 10-course meal fit for a gourmand of the highest taste. 

Are you ready? 

To start off the evening, Ileisha prepared an almond and grape gazpacho amuse-bouche (French for “it amuses the mouth,” a small, appetizer-like plate served before the main courses). The special touch? Rose petals on top. 

Following the amuse-bouche, Ileisha prepared some delicious-looking beef and pork-stuffed olives that made the guests say, “Wow.” 

Next up: a beautiful squash blossom stuffed with lemon ricotta and served with beetroot ketchup that practically made the guests squeal with delight.

The picturesque dish was followed by a sweet potato and Asiago soufflé that looked almost too delicate to eat.

Course No. 5 was squid, and at that point, Ileisha was really feeling the heat in the kitchen. 

“Doing 10 courses on  Parsifal  is brutal,” she shared. “There’s no space, it’s insane to prep, it takes forever to serve, and it means a late night for everyone.” 

Still, the chef trudged on, serving local baby squid with lime aioli. “That is beyond tender,” Guarnieri gushed about the dish. 

Ileisha followed that course with another piece of seafood, this time preparing a beautiful-looking local sea bream with celeriac puree and fennel slaw. 

More meat made its way to the table, as the crew brought out beef carpaccio with Parmesan and micro greens followed by a “surf ’n’ turf” dish made up of a beef fillet and grilled prawns. 

“F-ck me, I’m tired!” Ileisha exclaimed at that point — but there were two courses left. 

After midnight, finishing off the 10 courses was a sweet lemon sorbet and then a limoncello ricotta cheesecake with raspberry compote, perfect for the Italian locale. 

All in all, the guests were exceptionally pleased with the scrumptious dishes and the service, leaving the crew a $30,000 tip — something Daisy said was “the biggest” they had ever received. 

In addition to their generous tip, the guests were also kind and grateful throughout. The preference sheet may have put the crew on their toes, but everything ultimately concluded with a triumphant splash!
