The teaser for Below Deck Down Under Episode 2 recently dropped. It’s something, thanks to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City gals. As expected, these chaos carriers are driving the yachties crazy with their incessant arguments and needy antics. And whatever they’re up to next week, it’s enough to make one cast member label them as “unhinged.”

The RHOSLC ladies are causing trouble on BDDU Season 4 Episode 2

During their first night on charter, the girls of RHOSLC started fighting. In the trailer for Episode 2, we see Daisy Kelliher, sighing, dodging glass shards “all over the floor.” She then radios the galley, letting them know their dinner might take a bit longer than usual to clear.

As Daisy does her best to explain to the galley what she’s observing, their guests’ voices grow all the louder. In her confessional, Daisy calls them out. “This is insane, she begins, because “Trying to do this dinner service and communicate with Ben [Robinson] right now is annoying. We’re having to interrupt World War III, being like, ‘excuse me, can I take your plates?'”

But most importantly, Daisy knew better than to “piss these Housewives off. That doesn’t sound like my idea of fun,” she hysterically clocked. Finally, the trailer shows Daisy finding her in, finally clearing every plate off their table. But as she clears, the cast of RHOSLC continues arguing, making Daisy utter “Unf*ckinghinged” as she walks away.

When Daisy returns, their fighting continues. It only stops once Daisy speaks, explaining what they’re about to eat. Thankfully, the ladies of RHOSLC can all agree on at least one aspect: Chef Ben is a “10/10.” Good luck, yachties of BDDU Season 4.

Below Deck Down Under continues on Monday at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the following day.

Chef Ben Robinson is “BACK BABY.” Fans never really know what Ben might say next. But Captain Jason Chambers, his new boss on Below Deck Down Under, can confirm one of Ben’s latest statements. It was cheeky, yes, but as Captain Jason recently explained, Ben’s claim was also true.

Chef Ben really did take Captain Jason out for food before BDDU Season 4

In Episode 1, Ben hysterically reintroduced himself to the cameras. “It’s been about six years since I’ve worked on a yacht. But you know what? The stars have aligned, my little darlings, and I am here, and I am back,” he said.

After touching on his failed engagement, Ben explained that he crossed paths with Captain Jason. To celebrate their encounter, Ben took Captain Jason out to “lunch at the Outback Steakhouse, because he’s Australian. It’s the only Australian place I know,” Ben joked. During their lunch, Ben learned that Captain Jason’s chef had just backed out of filming, so Ben came out of retirement, eager to help.

The outcome of this story is real, but what about the other details? Well, according to Captain Jason, who recently spoke with Decider, Ben wasn’t lying. “He definitely took me to the Outback Steakhouse for lunch,” Captain Jason stressed. He further admitted that he “had a good steak,” and he “might [even] go back there someday,” and “Maybe,” just maybe, “that’ll be my and Ben’s anniversary thing,” he laughed.

But on a serious note, “[Ben] had just gone through a breakup. So this also was a chance for him to get away,” Captain Jason noted. After all, “Ben’s a total professional and a business owner, so he really doesn’t need to do a charter season anymore.” So, “It was a blessing for him to pack up his bags and get to Canouan as quickly as he did.”

Below Deck Down Under continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

You know how it goes. On any of the Below Deck franchises, crew members are crammed into close quarters with each other for weeks. They work together, they party together, they sleep together. And as it is with attractive young people, sometimes they fall in love.

But it usually doesn’t last, as after just a few weeks, couples go their separate ways. They go home, they go to other jobs on other boats. In the end, they move on to other boats and other relationships, as this couple from Below Deck Down Under did.

Brianna Duffield has definitely moved on from Harry Van Vliet

When BDDU alums Harry Van Vliet and Brianna Duffield first met in Season 3, she wasn’t so sure she wanted to tie herself down to one guy. But Harry was persistent, so they gave it a try.

But like so many other yachting couples, their relationship didn’t last much past the end of the charter season, and they’ve both moved on to other people. In Brianna’s case, she’s engaged! After she reconnected with previous boyfriend Davino, he proposed in Aruba, which is where they first met.

On January 2, Brianna posted a photo carousel announcing their engagement. “From where we began, to where we are now — a true full circle moment, a forever kind of love, and the greatest ‘yes’ of my life,” she wrote in the caption of the post.

But don’t worry about Harry. He’s also happy in a new relationship with his girlfriend Kristen Cornlenson. They went Instagram official in August, and on New Year’s Eve, he posted a photo of them on a boat in the British Virgin Islands.

“Very grateful to have spent the majority of the year with my darling Kristen,” he wrote in the caption. “[We have] some amazing memories together to reflect on … Life can only get better, so here is to 2026 and more amazing memories to share.”

Below Deck Down Under airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the following day.

Captain Jason Chambers’ first guests on Below Deck Down Under Season 4 are exhausting. As soon as these Real Housewives of Salt Lake City stars boarded, they got right to work, putting this season’s new crew through the wringer for their future tips. Now that filming is over, Captain Jason is sharing what it was like to have these chaos carriers aboard. Here’s what he said.

Who did the RHOSLC cast make struggle on Below Deck Down Under Season 4?

Imagine the crew’s shock in learning that their very first charter guests were the ladies of RHOSLC. Those who knew immediately raised their eyebrows, sighing over the “nastiness” that was heading their way. And those who didn’t, well, they quickly learned, since these women put the word extra into everything they do. Sure enough, between their poured-out waters, broken glasses, and loud arguments, which seemed to happen every time they sat down to eat, Captain Jason’s team was exhausted by the end of their very first night on charter.

After the airing of Episode 1, Captain Jason headed over to Watch What Happens Live. While here, Andy Cohen engaged him in a game of “Deck Heads.” And among Andy’s asks, of course, was a rather pointed question about the ladies of RHOSLC.

“Who had the hardest time with the Salt Lake City Housewives?” Andy asked. “Um, me,” Captain Jason joked. He wasn’t wrong, though. Heather Gay was all over this man, bless her heart.

But as for their future charter guests, well, they thankfully left him alone. Instead, João Franco captured the bulk of their undivided attentions this season, Captain Jason revealed.

Below Deck Down Under continues every Tuesday at 8/7c on Bravo. Meanwhile, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is streaming on Peacock.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK THE BDDU CREW IS HANDLING THE CAST OF RHOSLC WELL? ARE YOU ENJOYING SEEING THE ACTION FROM THE BDDU POINT OF VIEW?

The post Captain Jason Chambers on Below Deck Down Under Struggles With RHOSLC Cast appeared first on Reality Tea.

Last night, Season 4 of Below Deck Down Under premiered. We’re only one episode in. Yet, we already have some predictions for this season.

In the galley, tensions are quickly mounting. Poor Alesia Harris. She has “a passion” for cooking. But as Ben Robinson’s already noted, her “passion” isn’t translating well.

Meanwhile, the interior department is already down one stew. In Episode 1, Joe Caron received a phone call from home. Her grandfather was in the hospital, and things weren’t looking great. So, Joe decided to leave filming, right as the first chaotic group of charter guests came aboard.

With one less hand in the interior department, demanding charter guests who thrive on rumors, nastiness, and Diet Coke, and bubbling tensions, both good and bad, arising out of every corner, BDDU Season 4 is off to the races. Regarding the rest of this season, these are now our top storyline predictions.

Alesia Harris will be fired or quit on Below Deck Down Under Season 4

Alesia made her debut as a BDDU sous-chef in Season 3. Her interactions with that season’s chef didn’t exactly land well. Unfortunately, history seems to be repeating itself for Alesia in Season 4. Her new chef, Ben, demands perfection, but perfection isn’t exactly Alesia’s middle name.

Alesia knows that she’s green. She’s never attended culinary school. However, she does have something to prove to her mother, who doubts her career path as a chef. But in her very first scene with Ben this season, he made sure to note that her cutting skills were lacking, making Alesia’s face visibly fall.

Then, Alesia used the wrong pan and burnt some eggs. Next, she burnt her hand, only to later overspill one of her pans while helping Ben make a cheesecake. Now, Ben is a blunt man. Therefore, his reactions to several of Alesia’s blunders have already come across as harsh, as evidenced by Alesia’s dejected responses.

On one hand, we already have a chef crashing out in the galley, making me cheer, BDDU IS BACK! But on the other hand, Alesia won’t last long if things continue as they are. And when we saw the trailer at the end of Episode 1, showing Alesia crying in the wheelhouse, admitting that this gig might be crushing her soul, the first prediction formed. Basically, Alesia is either going to quit, get fired, or learn how to adapt to Ben’s cheeky ways as this season progresses.

Furthering firing speculations, in the end trailer, Daisy Kelliher is seemingly telling Alesia that she can get off the boat. But edits are meant to be tricky. So, who knows? But either way, something has to give for Alesia.

A love triangle approaches BDDU for Jenna Woudberg, Ben Robinson, and Eddy Hounsell

What even is this franchise without a love triangle or two, no? Typically, these messy scenarios consist of one male and two females. But this season, Jenna Woudberg might be turning things on their heads. Like the “still to come” trailer teased, this stew is about to rock both Ben and Eddy Hounsell’s yachts.

Ben is newly single, as he and his fiancée recently called off their engagement. He is now $50k poorer, because weddings require all the things. So, as he said, “the best way to get over someone” is to get underneath another. But he was talking about the motor yacht Katina here, joking, “I think Katina could be my new girl.”

Meanwhile, Eddy is one of the new deckhands this season. He had an awkward childhood, but once he learned how to lean into his smaller frame, Eddy grew “a lot more confident.” During his first episode, he noted that Alesia was his type. But in the trailer, we heard Jenna admitting, “Eddy is on my mind.”

“But it’s nice, getting to know Ben,” she added. The frame then shows Jenna and Ben walking hand in hand. “I like you, okay?” Ben admits. But then we see Eddy, angrily walking away.

“If you want my advice, stay the f*ck away from the two of them,” Daisy advised, as the screen went dark on our first predicated love triangle of the season.

João Franco and Daisy Kelliher’s boatmance will hurt her relationship with Chef Ben

João Franco and Daisy have never worked together before. But here they are, leading their department heads on BDDU. However, as the trailer teases, they will soon be more than just colleagues. In an upcoming episode, these two will breezily inquire about each other’s statuses, which kicks off a love story of sorts for these staple yachties.

As Daisy joked, she typically goes for “d*ckheads,” which, YEP, and no comment. Then, we see clip after clip of Daisy and João kissing, both on and off the yacht. But are they in love, someone unseen asks? “I don’t know,” we heard Daisy answering.

But as we also saw, Daisy will struggle with Ben this season. Their heated interactions may or may not be why we also saw João struggling with Ben in the trailer. During Episode 1, Ben and João got along just fine. But later this season, João will seemingly approach Ben on Daisy’s behalf, causing Ben to (verbally) revolt.

Before this season aired, Daisy noted that Ben liked to act like a guest during filming. And sure enough, in João’s heated scene with Ben, Ben is in a guest cabin, seemingly living his best spread-out life without guests on board. Viewers can’t hear what João said to Ben, but Ben is yelling, “f*cking wanker” at João. Whatever happened here, I predict that Daisy and João’s boatmance will further sink her working relationship with Ben.

TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR PREDICTIONS FOR BDDU SEASON 4?

The post Our Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Predictions After Episode 1 appeared first on Reality Tea.

Welcome back, land dwellers! Finally, Below Deck Down Under Season 4, Episode 1 is here, led once again by Captain Jason. At his side are several returning yachties, including Chef Ben, Chief Stew Daisy, Second Officer João, and Sous Chef Alesia. Several new characters are also coming aboard to work alongside this “A team.” So, let’s dive right into this first, supersized episode, shall we? Here’s what went down in BDDU Season 4, Episode 1.

What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 1?

After the originally hired chef backs out, Ben exits his years-long Bravo hibernation to save Season 4. But can he survive his first charter group, featuring the ever-messy and always iconic cast of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City? Not really, as his cast is already facing a boatload of troubles with these women. So basically, we’re “BACK BABY!”

The cast of BDDU Season 4 boards the motor yacht Katina

Captain Jason “can’t have” another season with his “heads of departments at each other.” So this season, he’s bringing on four well-seasoned yachties, Ben, Daisy, João, and Alesia. As he notes, Canouan is their new setting. And no, that’s not in Australia, but he’s Australian, so “Down Under is wherever” he decides to be.

Daisy, Ben, and João board first. Ben hasn’t worked on a yacht in “six years,” but a week before Season 4’s cameras picked up, he ran into Captain Jason. Ben “took him to lunch at the Outback Steakhouse, because he’s Australian.” And when Captain Jason revealed that his chef had dropped out, Ben decided to return, mostly because “he needed an escape” from his failed engagement.

Deck/stew Mike arrives next. Thankfully, Daisy and João are already working well together. They plan to use Mike on deck in the morning, and in the evening, he’ll work in the interior. João’s “grown up,” he states, and even though he’s a captain, he’s happy to put his ego aside and work as the second officer for Captain Jason.

Stews Jenna and Joe arrive next, followed by deckhands Eddy and Betul, and finally, Alesia. The galley will “have a great vibe” this season, Captain Jason tells Alesia. Is this … false foreshadowing?

The crew heads to their first preference sheet meeting. The ladies of RHOSLC are their first charter guests, Captain Jason reveals, as his OG’s faces immediately register a solid mix of excitement and horror. Then, Daisy designates Jenna as her second stew.

One crew member exits, while the cast of RHOSLC enters

The next morning, Ben and Alesia prepare brunch for the crew, but Alesia uses the wrong pan and burns the eggs. Ben shows her an easier route, but as he’s talking, Alesia burns her hand. Feeling big emotions, she excuses herself for a cathartic cry. Her mom convinced her to pass on culinary school, so now, all Alesia wants to do is prove her wrong.

Next door, a cell phone rings insistently. And nearby, a private plane lands, depositing Lisa Barlow, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay (the primary), Angie Katsanevas, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, and Britani Bateman in Canouan. Later, Bronwyn Newport will also join them.

While changing into her whites, Joe finally answers that phone. It’s her dad. Her grandfather is in the hospital, and things aren’t looking good. Joe falls to the ground, and when Daisy enters, Joe admits that she’s leaving.

“We’re f*cked,” Daisy states. Captain Jason calls his crew together, urging everyone to “pitch in” for this likely demanding charter.

Speaking of these devils, the Housewives have arrived. As they start drinking and touring the yacht, Captain Jason sneaks Joe off, reminding her that she is “doing the right thing.” Finally, the first charter of Season 4 leaves the dock, right after the Housewives argue over the cabins.

Typical.

Tensions rise across the yacht

Ben cheekily critiques Alesia’s cutting techniques. I don’t think his wit lands well, though, so this might be a long season for the pair. Likewise, this might be a long charter for the men, because Britani is on a “thirty-day break” from her on-again, off-again, frustrating man, Jared Osmond, and her eyes are already set on Captain Jason.

At the table, Whitney warns Britani that if she says her man’s name, she’ll get splashed. She accepts Whitney’s challenge and immediately gets doused by Heather, Meredith, and Whitney. “These are the friends I need,” Jenna jokes. Right after, Meredith dumps an entire pitcher of water over Britani for referencing “a certain someone.”

Bronwyn finally arrives via a water taxi, wearing a ridiculously-her outfit. In the galley, Alesia’s salad isn’t up to Ben’s standards. But neither is Britani’s stuffed unicorn, which Bronwyn jokes about “throwing overboard.” Additionally, Angie’s seasick, certain women want help unpacking, one’s lost a nipple-cover, and the others need another drink, leaving Daisy exhausted with these “unhinged” women.

In the galley, Ben and Alesia misunderstand each other. Back at the table, Bronwyn suggests that someone is leaking stories. “Nobody would do that here,” Lisa responds. Down below, Jenna finds a cucumber in Whitney’s luggage while poor Mike works solo with these “f*cking nutjob” women.

The Housewives spiral into chaos

The ladies head down to the water toys. Captain Jason joins them, riding tandem with Heather on a Seabob. Whitney jokes, “You’re riding him, finally!”

Ben and Alesa start prepping a cheesecake. In the ocean, Angie serves the fish a nice serving of vomit. Poor Angie.

Poor Alesia as well. Her pan is overflowing, making Ben sigh. Her “passion for cooking” isn’t translating well, he notes.

Angie is still down for the count. Mary’s concerned for her friend, so she eats her dinner by Angie’s side. Back at the table, Britani breaks a rule by talking “sh*t” about Mary in her absence. But once Britani accuses Meredith of faking seizures, all hell breaks loose.

As the ladies argue, Ben radios for Daisy, who’s in over her head with these guests. Right on cue, Meredith stands, once again dousing Britani with water. Britani repays her non-kindness, breaking her glass in turn. Daisy calls for Mike to clean up the shards, as Ben grows angrier by the second in the galley, waiting to plate his dishes for timely service.

“These b*tches are next level delulu,” Daisy states, adding, “I’m over this.”

Below Deck Down Under continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

Below Deck Down Under Season 4 premieres tonight on Bravo. Fans are looking forward to getting acquainted with the new crew, as well seeing as some old friends.

But if you thought there was sexual chemistry in the last season of Below Deck, wait until the girls see the new deck/stew. He obviously spends a lot of time in the gym keeping fit and has the muscles to show for it.

And this is not his first time on TV. He’s so fit he wasn’t shy about taking off his clothes for a UK dating show. The new kid previously competed in the UK version of Dating Naked.

Mike Durrant joins the cast of Below Deck Down Under Season 4

He may look like just an ordinary guy, but under his Katina uniform Mike Durrant is hiding several tattoos and a ripped torso. According to the Daily Mail, the Aussie hunk was previously an event planner. He’s also a former male stripper, which may come in handy for entertaining the guests. Additionally, he has five years’ experience in the yachting industry, so chief stew Daisy Kelliher shouldn’t have to do much training.

While he’s apparently guarded about his personal life, his bio for Dating Naked described Mike as being a “party playboy,” as well as “a serial dater.” On his Instagram page, he shares pics of his gym workouts, in between adventures around the world. He also reportedly has a blue belt in jiu jitsu.

Though he told producers on Dating Naked that he was ready to “settle down and find love,” he still appears to be single. I have a feeling Mike is going to be very sought after by the female crew on BDDU.

Below Deck Down Under Season 4 premieres February 2 at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the following day.

Tonight, Below Deck Down Under Season 4 premieres. And when it does, several familiar faces will be at the helm. This season, Captain Jason Chambers clearly scored a major win with the casting department. But even though he’s getting the cream of this franchise’s crop, problems will still arise onboard.

This season, Captain Jason’s right-hand lady is none other than Daisy Kelliher, who jumped ship from Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Since the fate of BDSY remains unknown, this opportunity is a great one for Daisy. That is, as long as her interior team can also rise to the occasion.

Meanwhile, João Franco is walking onboard as the exterior department head. Now, João has appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean and BDDU. And thankfully, he and Daisy seemingly get along this season, based on everything we’ve read so far.

Finally, in the galley, Ben Robsinson is making his way out of retirement. Ben hasn’t worked on a yacht in years. But this season, Captain Jason needed a last-minute replacement, and luckily for him, Ben just so happened to be free.

Clearly, with three returning department heads, consider fans ready for BDDU Season 4. But what have these OGs teased about this all-star season?

Daisy Kelliher says Chef Ben Robinson “challenged” her on Below Deck Down Under Season 4

As seen in the trailer, Daisy and Ben have never worked together before. And after this season, they may never work together again. Unless, that is, you take Ben’s words over Daisy’s.

To explain, when asked at BravoCon how Season 4 went, Daisy made sure to note that Ben “challenged [her] in every way possible.” However, “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,” she explained. At her side, Ben rolled his eyes in good humor, and then he challenged Daisy’s stance.

“I’m English. Different timezone,” Ben quipped. Daisy laughed, but then she further explained that their relationship this season was “interesting.” Because in addition to his failed “timekeeping,” Ben also behaves “like a guest” this season, Daisy revealed, noting her shock that Ben wasn’t wearing one of their guests’ robes while sitting on this panel.

So, what rubbed Ben the wrong way about Daisy? “Nothing really, to be honest,” Ben answered. “Actually, I thought we had a great relationship. I’m completely blindsided.”

But the way João, Daisy, and even Ben immediately started laughing teases otherwise. Whatever happens here, at least they can all laugh about it now. However, the verdict is still out on Alesia Harris’s take. As of now, her statements about BDDU Season 4 are limited.

Daisy and João Franco have a strong connection

On this same BravoCon panel, the moderator noted that Daisy seemed to share a strong bond with João, at least according to the trailer. When pressed about whether it was “love or lust at first sight” with João, Daisy stammered. After admitting that her “adrenaline [was] going so fast,” Daisy finally acknowledged that their bond was more of “a slow build.”

“I’m a slow builder, so I don’t wanna give too many spoilers away,” Daisy continued. “But João and I had a great relationship, we’re friends,” she stressed. Yet, when saying the word “friends,” Daisy did so flirtatiously, making João laugh on their shared stage. Apart from his laughter, João didn’t add anything extra to Daisy’s statement, but we do know that, whatever happens, João is already back with his ex, whose name is not Daisy.

Regardless, after their cameras went down, Daisy appeared on Watch What Happens Live. While here, she reiterated that she and João “worked well as a team.” And, as far as João goes, last October, he teased, “THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE CRAZY RIDE!!”

He was speaking about their crossover episodes with the cast of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And as João further stressed, “Can’t wait until you all see our side of these episodes.” Fans won’t have to wait very long for this, as these hot messes are the very first charter guests of Season 4.

Captain Jason Chambers promises “dynamics” shifting in the BDDU crew

Between the hot and cold pairings of his department heads, Captain Jason might experience a turbulent season. Or not. Captains never really see the drama until each season airs. Even still, he admits that he’s lucky to have such capable yachties on board.

As Captain Jason explained to TV Insider, this season, Daisy thankfully “blew it right out of the park. Her process, of wanting to perform at her best, is all we can ask for, and she did. First and foremost, she wants to do her job very well. That’s all you can ask from the cruise.”

Regarding Ben and João, these yachties also gained Captain Jason’s trust. But the crew dynamics as a whole will either sink or swim this season, he admits.

“I think the crew dynamic that goes on, I can only imagine what happened off the boat because I hadn’t seen it myself. What I see we put together and what we came out with, I had to understand what was happening. I’m [mostly] worried about what is happening at work, but you could see the dynamics shift so many times with the crew. But at the end of the day, in front of the house, we were spot on with the charter guests,” Captain Jason detailed.

He continued, “You’re going to see João’s character come out, Daisy’s, and all the crew that participated. All of them have a great story to tell. I think we got there in the end.”

Below Deck Down Under is streaming on Peacock.

Captain Jason Chambers knows that Ben Robinson will excel as Katina’s chef on Below Deck Down Under Season 4. In fact, he feels lucky to have hired him, because he wasn’t necessarily his first choice.

In Ben’s first confessional, he explains that he happened to “bump into Captain Jason” just a week before the start of the charter. “I took him for lunch at the Outback Steakhouse,” he said, “because he’s Australian. It’s the only Australian place I know.”

The chance meeting couldn’t have come at a better time. As Jason explains, “My chef dropped out just before the season, and Ben was the first solution that came to mind.”

Chef Ben Robinson will star on Below Deck Down Under Season 4

As a matter of fact, Ben had just ended his engagement, so the job offer couldn’t have come at a better time. “[Jason] needed a chef, and I needed an escape,” Ben tells producers. “I thought, ‘Why not?’ In essence, we saved each other. This could be the perfect little distraction.”

Just over a year ago, Chef Ben hinted that he might be interested in returning to the Below Deck franchise. The witty Brit started in Season 1, but he left to pursue landlocked opportunities after four seasons. But after some time ashore, he suggested that he could be lured back to sea.

In a special Watch What Happens Live After Show called Yachties and Hotties, Ben told Andy Cohen, “As long as there’s a short season, I would definitely consider it. I would. I’m ready. I’ve recovered.”

So in the words of Ben’s official Bravo bio, “I’M BACK BABY!”

Below Deck Down Under Season 4 premieres February 2 at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the following day.

As chef Ben Robinson returns to Below Deck Down Under Season 4, he’s bringing a little extra personal baggage. In a sneak peek of the Season 4 premiere, Ben shares details about his broken engagement with ex-fiancé Kiara Cabral.

Ben has been enjoying his freedom at his successful catering company, though his “personal life has not been quite as successful.” A return to the BDDU galley may be just what the doctor ordered.

“This might come as a shock to everyone, but I am actually single,” he admits in a confessional interview. “Fairly recently, I broke up with my fiancée — having spent $50,000 on a wedding I didn’t attend.”

Chef Ben Robinson returns to Bravo in Below Deck Down Under Season 4

In September 2024, Ben told Bravo’s Daily Dish, “It’s odd when your future’s been solidified, for it all to vanish into thin air. [But] yachting was a big part of my formative life. It’s actually nice to come back to it.”

Meanwhile, as the rest of the Katina crew arrives, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher is giving her new team a tour of the boat. After she introduces her new stews Jenna Woudberg and Joe Caron to the chef and Bosun João Franco, Ben tells João, “Calm down mate.”

After assuring the bosun that he’s “just kidding,” Ben goes on. “They do say that to get over someone, you gotta find someone else,” he laughs. “I think Katina can be my new girl.”

Ben’s better off having a relationship with the boat, since rumor has it, there was tension between him and Daisy. In another sneak peek released in early January, Daisy called the chef “a hothead in the galley.”
