Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6 could be a success in the future even after the current season’s been a major flop if the show makes some major changes as it continues. While Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 was one of the most highly anticipated premieres of Bravo’s fall lineup, it’s been disappointing for viewers who were ready to see more drama. Despite knowing that things would likely be a bit different for the series after Gary King’s drama derailed the show for nearly a year, viewers were hopeful that the new season would bring back the same energy.
Instead, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has been a disappointment thus far. Rather than removing Gary from the show after his major sexual misconduct allegations, Gary has been edited out of the show as much as possible but remains a major part of the series. This limitation has made it difficult for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 to tell a full story and pushed them to put their drama into other departments instead of just sharing what was going on on the sailing yacht. If Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6 is picked up, things have to change.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Is Struggling
The Season Doesn’t Have Big Drama
Although Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 was one of the most highly anticipated shows of the season, it hasn’t been making the type of splash that viewers had hoped. While there are still devoted viewers of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, many have struggled with the current season’s lack of drama, especially knowing what was going on with Gary throughout the show’s filming schedule. While there’s meant to be more happening in the rest of the season, it’s been tough to watch.
While there has been a lot going on between Daisy Kelliher and Gary, who exchanged some heated words during the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 reunion, their energy has been overwhelming to deal with. Daisy, who tried to clear the air with Gary before they started filming for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, has been hurt that her old friend spoke to her in a difficult way and then refused to apologize, but otherwise, the crew drama has been sparse. Viewers are simply looking for something with more drama.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 Needs A Crew Overhaul
Gary & Daisy Need To Take A Break
If Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6 is to become a reality, the season will need a total crew overhaul. While Captian Glenn Shephard can likely stay on as the sailing yacht’s leader, the rest of the crew needs to be revamped from top to bottom. Though Daisy is a good leader, her time on the series feels like it’s run out as she’s moved through her drama with her former boatmance, Colin MacRae, and her potentially problematic pal Gary. As for Gary himself, if he’s going to be edited out of the show so gratuitously, he shouldn’t take part.
Will Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 Become A Reality?
The Show Hasn’t Been Confirmed For Another Season
While Bravo rarely announces its shows being renewed, it’s possible that Below Deck Sailing Yacht will be announced as a renewal or a cancelation for the network. Though many enjoy the series, it’s been a problem for the last year and may be causing the network more pain than its worth. It’s possible that the show may not come back, but if it does, there are some steps that can be taken in order to ensure that things are more on track during the next season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
