Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 aired its fifth episode on Monday on Bravo. Tension brewing between third stew Ashley Marti and second stew Gabriela Barragan led to a lot of drama.
When chief stew Daisy Kelliher found out about Marti and Barragan’s icy behavior towards each other, she approached Marti for a conversation. Marti complained to Kelliher that Barragan kept giving her work and to-do lists.
She further claimed that she could do a better job than Barragan if she were a second stew. Marti asked:
“Why do I have to do everything?”
She continued:
“I have no problem respecting you all. You lead the way I wanna be led.”
Kelliher, who looked confused, tried to clarify why Marti was annoyed with her second stew. She asked Marti whether the way Barragan asked her to work irked the third stew. In response, Marti said that it was the way Barragan conveyed the orders.
What did fans have to say about Ashley Marti’s complaints?
Daisy Kelliher further tried to make Ashley Marti understand that she’s a third stew and Barragan is a senior to her. Kelliher said that crew members had to follow orders from their superiors even when they were unhappy with the work assigned. After speaking to Marti, Kelliher said in a confessional:
“You know when you have a 12-year-old kid and they think they're 18 and they wanna wear the short dress and they wanna wear the heels, and you're trying to explain, 'You're 12,' and they keep coming back going, 'I'm an adult.’ That's exactly what Ashley reminds me of.”
Viewers slammed Marti for complaining about Barragan to Kelliher. Fans called out the third stew after expressing her desire to do a better job if she was a second stew, like Barragan. Here’s how netizens reacted:
