    Am I the only one watching these two gloriously cheesy slices of reality TV schlock? I discovered them 2 months ago and have been working through the shows assiduously. Glamour, melodrama and nauseating rich people. I enjoy it immensely.

    Below Deck Mediterranean is still on Bravo; Below Deck is currently off recording season 5.

    That's true, but then so are 99% of American reality shows, including my other favourite, Storage Wars. I just like the glitz and hissy fits. It's kinda like Dynasty with sea sickness.

    I get a little confused by the changing of the crews from season to season and Ben The Chef seams to bounce between the two series. I can't really understand the fascination for Malia on this season of BDM; I'd go more for Hannah or Bugs. Sandy The Captain is definitely an upgrade. Not particularly taken with the new chef Adam. Ben's dishes also looked better.

    Only three years later :D I have discovered these and am thoroughly addicted. I've watched most of Below Deck, all of Mediterranean, and am now on to Sailing Yacht. Watching it on Hayu. Anyone else watching?

    Aaahh I'm so jealous you have so many seasons left ahead of you!! I'm on the most recent series and so can only watch one episode a week, as it's released ... I miss being able to binge several new episodes at once!!
