'Below Deck' fans dub guests "gross"
Fans were extremely disappointed after watching the charter guests on Below Deck Season 9 Episode 2, namely Michael Durham and Justin Richards. Their impolite drunk behavior came across as gross and threatening.
Some viewers also believe that Justin was the worst guest in the show's history.
Below are a few fan reactions:
What really happened on the yacht in 'Below Deck'?
A group of real estate friends visited My Seanna for a private party. The charter guests included Michael and Justin, who asked for Irish coffee and bourbon pairings with dinner, with a constant flow of whiskey at all other hours.
While entering the yacht, one of the guests remarked:
“The crew has no idea what’s in store for them.”
Chaos began with Justin asking for a thermos for his bourbon. The guests spent the entire afternoon hitting golf balls off the boat and drinking uncontrollably, which resulted in a sloshed group for dinner.
On being asked if they'd like to drink sparkling water, Michael said:
“I would like more bourbon.”
Justin's behavior got worse as the evening went on and his friends showed their disappointment in him. As Richards was in no mood for a classy dinner, he left the table with his thermos of bourbon.
“Fancy f***ing dinner can kiss my a**.” Justin declared.
The crew served Justin his dinner on the swim platform to keep him happy. Although the guests were difficult, the crew had fun witnessing the mess.
The night got wilder when the group started arguing with Justin, especially his co-worker Terri. However, Heather and Eddie managed to control the situation.
In the next episode, fans will find out if Captain Lee will kick a guest off the show for the second season in a row.
