Wihan's love antics upsets Lara and other crewmates

In Below Deck Down Under season 3 episode 7, Wihan Du Toit finally decides to express his feelings to Adair. He admitted that while he had been involved with Tzarina and Marina in the past few weeks, she was the only one for him.

Lara was not a fan of Wihan's antics. In a previous episode, he had hooked up with both Tzarina and Marina but still kissed Tzarina before bed. Frustrated by his behavior, Lara warned him not to "mess with her girls."

Later in the episode, Wihan sneaked off the yacht to write a love letter to Adair. When he returned, he stood idly by as provisions arrived, letting the others handle all the heavy lifting. When Lara asked for his help with dinner prep, he flat-out refused, saying it wasn’t his job. His unwillingness to contribute frustrated Lara and the rest of the crew, as they expected him to be a team player.

Wihan later delivered his love letter to Adair, sliding it under her door. While Adair found her Below Deck Down Under crew mate's letter sweet she was still uninterested in him.

Wihan’s oversight almost ruins the charter

Since Wihan was focusing his time on Adair, Harry wasn't sure if the Below Deck Down Under Bosun still had feelings for Bri. Regardless, Harry wanted to rekindle his romance with Bri.

Lara warned Harry that Bri was confused about their situation. So to smooth things over, he sent a reassuring text to Bri and was touched when the stew gave a positive response which momentarily eased their relationship tension.

Near the end of Below Deck Down Under season 3 episode 7, the crew prepared for their much-anticipated beach picnic. However, everything almost came to a ruin when the bike rides took longer than expected and it tried out the guests.

All the fingers pointed at Wihan as he failed to account for travel time putting their whole schedule at risk.
