Faye gets upset with Lewis on Below Deck Adventure
This week's episode of Below Deck Adventure began with the crew arranging some fun games for their charter guests during their picnic outside. At first, Faye was upset with Kasie, Lewis and the deckhands for leaving the picnic spot and going back to the boat as they had to be with the guests to play games.
Once the teammates returned, the guests and the crew engaged in a fun tug-of-war and baseball game. After they returned to the boat, the teams competed in an obstacle course from which the crew earned $800.
Tensions began to rise as the guests sat down for dinner. Chef Jess forgot that Captain Kerry was supposed to join the guests when the latter had previously informed her.
In the past few weeks on Below Deck Adventure, the heads of the interior and exterior deck, Faye and Lewis, have not been on the best terms work-wise. While the former kept asking for help from the deckhands, the latter's mismanagement of his team didn't sit well with viewers and Faye.
In this week's episode, the dekhhands were busy deflating the iceberg balloon which was part of the obstacle course, while the interior deck was serving dinner and cleaning up the rooms. Faye needed some help with cleaning and arranging the boat for the guests when she called the bosun for help.
However, Lewis and his deckhands Nathan and Michael were having a hard time with the iceberg.
Faye was frustrated as she felt the Below Deck Adventure bosun wasn't doing a good job. However, it took over 2 hours for Lewis and deckhands to deflate the iceberg and arrange it properly. The following morning, the team was able to bid farewell to the guests successfully. Captain Kerry then gathered the crew to reflect on the charter.
Faye took the opportunity to address the fact that there weren't enough deckhands during the picnic, criticizing Lewis for the same. This frustrated the latter as he felt it wasn't the right time to air out concerns.
Fans slam chief stew Faye for her behavior on Below Deck Adventure
Fans weren't impressed with Faye's behavior. They felt that deflating the iceberg wasn't an easy job and the chief stew shouldn't keep asking the dekhands for help. Check out what they have to say.
Season 1 of Below Deck Adventure is already halfway through and there are still a lot of dynamics left to be explored. As the season progresses, more issues are set to crop up between the cast members, creating more drama this season. Viewers will have to wait and see what's in store for them.
