Below Deck Adventure season 1 aired yet another dramatic episode on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at 8 pm ET on Bravo. The one-hour episode featured cast members managing a new set of charter guests, who were the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC) cast member Heather Gay and her friends. While the crew tried their best to manage duties, there were also issues that occurred while managing the boat.
On this week's episode of the hit Bravo series, bosun Lewis confronted deckhand Nathan for leaving the boat unattended in the morning and going to sleep without handing over to the next team member. Fans were, however, upset with Lewis as he had the confrontation in front of Captain, who also scolded Nathan for the same.
Fans also felt that Lewis addressed the issue in front of the Captain to get back at Nathan for going to the Captain with the former cast member Kyle's issue. One tweeted:
The official synopsis of the Below Deck Adventure episode, titled (The Real) Yacht-wives of Norway, reads:
"While on anchor watch, Nathan goes to bed before handing the shift over, leaving the boat unattended; in the galley, Oriana struggles to keep up with the pace of breakfast; a misstep leaves the exterior at risk of losing yet another deckhand."
Lewis confronts Nathan on Below Deck Adventure
On tonight's episode of Below Deck Adventure, the cast members were preparing for the arrival of the second set of charter guests. Ahead of their arrival, Captain Kerry sat down with the heads Lewis, chef Jess, and chief stew Faye to discuss the guests and their preferences while they were onboard the charter. During the discussion, Faye sought Lewis' help and asked for one of their exterior crew to lend a hand to the ladies in the interior.
Lewis, however, felt that it was unfair for Faye to ask for his help when she already knew that they are a deckhand down. Former deckhand Kyle Dickard was fired from the show after he threatened fellow castmate Nathan. The latter went to Captain Kerry with the issue, leading to Kyle's eviction from the show. Lewis had mentioned back then that Nathan should have come to him with the issue instead of going directly to the Captain.
The bosun also confessed to Faye that he couldn't make any promises about lending his team members but would try. The two had a brief argument later on in the Below Deck Adventure episode when Lewis reiterated the same. Faye felt that he should take charge as the Head of the Department and manage timelines.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC) cast member Heather Gay was the primary chart guest and was accompanied by her friends on the yacht. They wanted a Viking themed party and the ladies on the interior team dressed accordingly and even painted their faces. Soon, Faye decided to take Nathan's help for the party and dress him as a Viking soldier.
However, fellow Below Deck Adventure deckhand Michael wasn't happy with Faye's decision and went on to confront her about waking Nathan up. The chief stew, however, stated that Nathan was okay with it and that it shouldn't bother Michael. He noted that Lewis had agreed to lend Nathan but only to an extent and not wake him up as he had an early shift.
Nathan was already awake and decided to pitch in to entertain the guests. However, he went to sleep earlier than his shift timings, leaving the deck unattended.
The following morning, Lewis called a meeting for the exterior crew on the Captain's deck and slammed Nathan for his carelessness. This led to the Below Deck Adventure Captain Kerry pitching in, addressing his concerns, and scolding the deckand for not navigating his duties properly.
Nathan was seemingly frustrated at the bosun trying to address the issue in front of the Captain as it was all a misunderstanding. However, the deckhand didn't voice them out in front of Lewis or the Captain.
Fans slam Lewis for addressing Nathan in front of the Captain
Fans took to social media to address their concerns with Lewis slamming Nathan in front of Captain Kerry. They felt that the bosun did this in retaliation to Nathan going to the Captain with Kyle's issue.
