"Grow Up" — Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans react to Gary telling Captain Glenn he needed the "cash"

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Episode 14, titled, Rules o En-Rage-ment, Captain Glenn had laid out ground rules for the crew that went out drinking with the chartered guests. However, Keith, Daisy, and Gary did not follow them which earned them a sitdown with the captain.

While Chase had also accompanied the guests, since he only had one beer, he was off the hook, however, the rest of them broke their superior's 2 drink rule and faced the possible consequences of the same. Captain Glenn told the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 cast members he was thinking about holding their tip as punishment and First Mate Gary King told him he could because he needed the money.

Fans of the Bravo reality show commented on Gary's behavior online and criticized him for speaking to Captain Glenn the way he did. One person wrote on X:

"Gary you’re the worst offender and giving Glenn the most attitude…. Grow. Up. You did this to yourself."

"Gary’s lil hissy fit towards captain G is wILD & I bet going to go nowhere in the end …idk why they love him so much!!! Replace his drunk a** !!! I’m not entertained anymore just like daisy…. grow up dude," a fan commented.

"Gary is immature. Capt Glen should’ve kicked him off a long time ago. Anyone else think Daisy sounds like a drag queen?" a tweet read.

Fans of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 felt Captain Glenn deserved better:

"This! Like aside from YOU f*cked up Gary, now you're gonna make it worse by being disrespectful to not only your superior, but someone you've had a great working relationship w/ & someone who trusted you?? Glenn deserves better!!" a person wrote.

"Ugh, Gary!! Shut up & take the L!! You were well warned about the consequences!! I do kinda wish he'd give Daisy, Chase, & Keith half their tip cause they are being honest & arent throwing a fit like Gary, BUT I get him staying firm," a fan commented.

"Gary told Captain Glenn he clearly needs the cash???" a tweet read.

Fans of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 further said:

"Daisy: “I’m 100% wrong, and I apologize Glen” Gary: “I wasn’t drunk, you told me to drink….blah,blah,blah”. Shocking that Gary didn’t handle this well. He needs to go," a person wrote.

"Gary's going full Diana & Danni mode. Not a good look. I'm back to hating Gary. Getting into a b*tchfight with the most easy-going captain you're gonna find? FRO, Gary," a fan commented.
