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.

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.

The post Captain Jason Chambers on Below Deck Down Under Struggles With RHOSLC Cast 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.

The post Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 1 Recap: ‘Next Level Delulu’ appeared first on Reality Tea.

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.”

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.

The post Below Deck Down Under’s Captain Jason Reveals How Chef Ben Robinson Almost Wasn’t Hired appeared first on Reality Tea.

Below Deck Down Under is returning on February 2 for Season 4. How ironic is it that the new season premieres on Groundhog Day with the inclusion of so many faces from Below Deck’s past?

Even more ironic is that Captain Jason Chambers and his crew won’t actually be “down under” this season. For some reason, the crew is in the Caribbean, specifically Canouan. Though they’re not really “down under,”, as Captain Jason says, “Down under is a state of mind.”

Not only will the Season 4 crew welcome the full cast from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but the crew list includes multiple familiar faces.

BDDU Season 4 features some iconic Below Deck stars

First to arrive Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, Chef Ben Robinson and Bosun João Franco. As they exclaim over the size of the boat, Chef Ben says, “Well, it’s probably got quite a big galley if it’s that beamy.”

Not missing a beat, João snaps back, “Love a boat with a big girth.”

It’s been six years since Ben’s worked on a boat. Serendipitously, he “bumped into” Captain Jason a week earlier. Jason had just lost his Season 4 chef, so he immediately offered Ben the job.

For her part, Daisy explains, “My last four seasons on Parsifal had so many ups and downs. I am so ready for a clean slate.” We all remember Gary King…

“I am looking forward to a new phase of my life,” she says. “I’ve got new hair, [and] I’m looking forward to a new crew.”

Meanwhile, João has grown up a lot in the past few years and is ready to prove himself. “I’m a captain,” he says. “I’ve got a license to drive any vessel under 3,000 gross ton, and I do. But Jason, he’s like a big brother to me and a mentor. I trust him, and I believe that I can learn more from him.”

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

TELL US – ARE YOU EXCITED TO SEE SOME OLD FRIENDS ON BDDU SEASON 4? WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE?

The post Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 1 Preview: Captain Jason Welcomes Familiar Faces appeared first on Reality Tea.

Aesha Scott is a seasoned Bravolebrity and a favorite cast member on Below Deck. She served as chief stew to Captain Jason Chambers on the first two seasons of Below Deck Down Under. The New Zealand native got on well with her boss, and always spoke highly of his management style.

Her tenure on Below Deck Mediterranean is longer, with four seasons under her belt. Aesha was a second stew in Seasons 4 and 5. Then returned as chief for Seasons 9 and 10. Captain Sandy Yawn has been at the healm all the while. So Aesha is well suited to give her opinion on working with both of the captains. And she’s previously said how similar they are.

Can Aesha name one thing Captain Jason does better than Captain Sandy?

Aesha was put on the spot during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live. Given all the crossover casting though, it’s a fair enough question.

“Name one way you prefer Captain Jason’s management style over Captain Sandy,” Aesha was asked.

The reality TV star paused to reflect before answering, “Oh, I don’t know. I guess I liked that he was such a bro.”

“Ok, you like a bro,” host Andy Cohen clarified.

Jason is certainly well-liked as a boss. And he is always willing to jump into the fray and help with any menial task. He’s fair but tough. The same can be said about Sandy. However, her decision to fire former chief stew Hannah Ferrier is still a controversial one.

As for Aesha, everyone loves to work with her. She’s been praised for her empathy and strong work ethic. To her credit as well, the Drop coconut water founder has spoken positively of both Jason and Sandy.

Jason may be the preferred boss, but when it comes to her big day, Sandy scored an invite. In a previous episode of WWHL, Aesha revealed that she did not invite Jason to her March 2026 wedding to Scott Dobson.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED BY AESHA’S ANSWER? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JASON AND SANDY AS BOSSES?

The post Below Deck Med’s Aesha Scott Asked Shady Question About Captain Jason and Captain Sandy appeared first on Reality Tea.

Victoria SanJuan walked onto Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 with a broken, yet hopeful heart. Cue Joe Bradley, falling fast, but maybe not as hard as he claimed on air.

Regardless, V also came aboard with enough experience to work solidly in both the interior and exterior departments. Following the passing of her late boyfriend, V shied away from exterior positions. But when two openings arose, V knew she could readily stand in one of these gaps. Watching V take steps to rise above her anxieties and traumas has already created meaningful scenes.

So, Reality Tea got V on the line to chat about her experiences, past, present, and future. And while we had her on the line, we also discussed the Joe of it all, who, as V notes, resembles a “boy” who needs “to grow up.”

How did V end up on Below Deck Med?

V is a girl’s girl, through and through. At the start of our call, she shared her stunning view of the Empire State Building, which she knew I’d dig. So, how did such a considerate human being get cast on Below Deck Med?

“After my boyfriend passed, I was so sucked into that world of grief. And I came to realize that life is really short. So, I said, ‘Well, if I’m going to live this life, I want to really honor him and be as spontaneous as possible.'”

“I always said, if I were ever single, I’d get into yachting, which I guess now I am technically, unfortunately, single.” So, when one of her friends sent her a post for Below Deck Med, V decided, ” I bet I can do it, and then I won that bet.”

But as V jokingly recalled, her next feeling was, “Oh no. Now I have to film it.” Before boarding, however, V grew “nervous.” So, she “paid around $400 for a crash course” on tasks like “paper folding” and knives, “Because I was like, I don’t want to look dumb on TV.”

Further stressors and strains lie ahead for the deck team

During Episode 5, V moved over to the deck team. She now works under Nathan Gallagher, a first-time bosun. As this season progresses, how will V and her team fare under his leadership?

“When someone’s stressed, they can either manage things or take it out on the people around them.” Unfortunately, Nathan might fall into the latter camp, as V confessed, “There is kind of a continuous theme of him cussing us out,” though.

Boo. Nevertheless, which yachtie struggled the most with Nathan’s leadership?

“I think maybe Max [Salvador], because Max was all over the place, and perhaps he’s not used to so much direction.” Additionally, Max likes to have fun, but “we’re not always allowed to run free” with the guests and their demands.

So, will this team finish in a friendly spot? Some will, V teases. Yet, others might not.

“Nathan will eventually see Joe in a different light from where they started. But Max and I are super cool.” However, “Joe and I have an interesting way of parting,” V quipped.

V gets raw about her grief while noting where she currently stands with Joe Bradley

Currently, V and Joe are crushing on each other. V has got Joe in his feelings, to the point where he is ready to commit, or so he says. So, where do V and Joe stand today?

“I would say that Joe and I are cordial, but I definitely don’t trust that man at all. I wish him all the best, but I really hope that he matures. And I hope one day he doesn’t just brush over his own mistakes, that he takes accountability for what he does. Because that’s just the biggest difference between a boy and a man, and right now he’s still a boy.”

Oop.

But as for V, the only direction she desires to move is up. On Instagram, V rawly shared an intimate moment from her healing journey. Bon had locs, and when he passed, V attached a strand to her hair. But one week ago, V emotionally cut his loc out.

Overall, V has “experienced a lot since Bon left. But I think I’ve really honored him in the ways that he would have wanted me to. Because I didn’t let grief control my life.”

V offers an update on Kizzi Kitchener while detailing her Below Deck Med Season 10 highs and lows

Speaking of love, Kizzi Kitchener is engaged. Does V think she might score an invite to her wedding?

Laughing, V admits that Kizzi is “one of those people that I won’t ever trust again.” However, unlike Joe, Kizzi holds herself accountable. “Like, she’s watching the episodes” and apologizing.

“I can accept people who are conscious enough to hold themselves accountable. She’s actually the person I talk to the most. I’m really excited for her. I wish her and Tom [Whiteley] the best.”

Does V have any Season 10 regrets?

“Yes, I do. My biggest regret is that I didn’t call people out on their bullsh*t, and I wasn’t more assertive. If I filmed again, I would tell people how it is.”

On the flip side, what is V the most proud of accomplishing this season?

“One thousand percent, my switch from stew to deck. You see me tear up, but for me, I think for about a day, I was like, wow, I’ve done it. I’ve proven myself. And to me, that’s priceless.”

Up next, V is “planning a move to Australia” to try her hand at “yachting over there as a fresh start.” Typically, Australia is where Below Deck Down Under films. So, would V be interested in a shot at this series with Captain Jason Chambers?

“Absolutely! He’s single and good looking,” V happily answered.

Andy Cohen really knows his Bravo co-stars. But sometimes, these personalities take things to an extreme. So, when Andy took the stages of BravoCon 2025, he went in hard on a few of these messy stars during a special, live taping of Watch What Happens Live, The Bravos. Here’s who he (jokingly) came for.

Andy Cohen threw some fun shade at BravoCon 2025

Andy kicked things off with a cheeky opening bit about the weather. “Did you guys hear that this has been Sin City’s wettest weekend on record?” Cue a pause, followed by “We all know whose fault that is. I’m looking at you, Captain Jason [Chambers].”

But the “most rewarding part about BravoCon is being completely and utterly surrounded by fans. Now I know how Angela Oakley feels,” he gagged.

“Paging Dr. Jackie [Walters] and Dr Simone [Whitmore],” Andy next called. “Doctors, you’re on call tonight for Bravo’s most accident and injury-prone individual.” But who was Andy making this joke about?

Angie Katsanevas. As Andy instructed Angie, should she have any medical issues, she is to see these women, not the “Below Deck crew. They have been through enough.”

After spotting Lisa Hochstein, Andy made a crack about her constant lateness. He was going to praise Lisa for her timeliness at this annual event. However, a voice in his ear said that Lisa was actually just now arriving for BravoCon 2023.

Can Kathy Hilton tell the difference between Tamra Judge and her own sister, Kyle Richards? Andy suspects not. But after noticing Erika Jayne in the audience, Andy switched gears, thanking Erika for helping him answer an age-old question: “What would Jesse Solomon do?”

Ending with Austen Kroll and Craig Conover, Andy noted that Austen is tall. That’s it, he wisecracked. But what about Craig?

For starters, “He is single,” Andy said. Andy then joked that Craig is “hot, a jetsetter,” and that he “hosts a successful podcast.” But oh, wait. “Those are all words to describe Paige [DeSorbo],” he ended.

Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10/9c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.

Here we go! Spilled secrets, long-awaited reunions, and fun hookups are what make BravoCon so much fun. This year is no exception. Many fans were curious who might snag the attention of Bravo’s most eligible bachelor, Captain Jason Chambers of Below Deck Down Under. And it looks like we’ve got a frontrunner in Kiki Barth of The Real Housewives of Miami.

Captain Jason sniffed Kiki Barth’s neck at BravoCon 2025

It shouldn’t be surprising. After all, both Bravo stars did opt to “swipe right” on each other previously. Captain Jason played a game of Sink or Save on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. 

He was asked which Bravo stars he’d save (or swipe right on), and Kiki was the first one he opted to save (along with Porsha Williams, good friend Ashley Darby, and Luann de Lesseps). So we already know he’s open to the idea.

For her part, Kiki played a similar game called Could They Keep Up with Kiki. She also swiped right on Captain Jason. After swiping left on several bachelors, Andy presented Captain Jason, and she responded with “Oh my god, yes.” 

We get it. This “cutie patootie,” as coined by Brynn Whitfield of The Real Housewives of New York, has turned the heads of many Bravo ladies. Heather Gay recently teased some time spent together. Adriana de Moura did the same.

So now that Jason and Kiki are together at BravoCon, the captain is leaning in… literally. In an Instagram story by Bronwyn Newport, Captain Jason is leaning in and smelling Kiki’s neck. The caption reads, “Captain Jason making sure we all smell like him (or his cologne).” She tagged both Jason and Kiki.

So does this mean something for Captain Jason and Kiki? Or is she just one of several Bravo stars he is apparently marking with his cologne? We’ll have to wait and see!
