I am a big fan of the Below Decks series, but I am having trouble liking the sailing version. It has nothing to do with sailing because I find that interesting. It's the crew I am having trouble with. I am not a fan of Adam, the chef, ever since he acted like a bratty child with the onions on the other show. I also don't like that he was knocking Hannah on this show. I can't seem to "bond" with the rest of the crew, although I do like Captain Glen. Watching the whole crew sit in a small hot tub and sing songs just turned me off. I know it is probably just me, but it's going to take a lot more then beautiful scenery to make me like this show.

I have not watched this new series, but my guilty pleasure the last few weeks has been watching the Below Deck marathons. Before that, I flipped past them.
Cannot imagine it would translate to sailing unless it is a very luxurious ship. That was what originally drew me in. I wanted to see the yacht. Then, of course, you have all the crazies on board acting like fools (most of the time).
I got started having it on in the background while I was sewing, but I likely will not be keeping up with this new version.
Mostly, these shows are a waste of time and a reason for commercials

@daisy4 I feel the same way. There's just so much good on bravo right now I don't know if this one will be in my regular rotation. I was listening to Amy Phillips show yesterday and she said that Sailing is a "slow-burn" for her.
I've watched bravo and the housewives for many years, but really only watched Below Deck as of last last year. I really didn't know what I was missing. Below Deck Med was my first one, and because of that it is my favorite.

@daisy4 I'm on the fence with this one also. I've watched Below Deck since the beginning so its only natural that I woud watch this one as well.
The boat is nice enough, but I agree about the cast. I'm not really liking them or finding them interesting. I don't mind Adam, but he's already hooked up w/this chief stew and they seem to make such an odd couple.
Not sure how I feel about the couple of deckhands that were supposed to be preparing the ship for charter who fell in love and are now a couple. Do you see them lasting? I think not. Seem kinda boring. The other 2 female stews are OK but just seems like this cast is totally mismatched.
I am liking this Captain. Seems nice and is not stand offish and stuck on himself like Captain Lee. I'll probably watch another episode or two, but if I find myself not looking forward to it, I'll stop and find something else.

I watched it and I liked the Captain. He is willing to get his hands dirty. I think we have to give it some time because 2 episodes is not enough time to say I like these people. I do like Adam.

Below Deck (both) is my favorite show. I've watched BD Sailing and while it doesn't have the level of interest (so far anyway) as the other two, I will continue to watch it. So far, I like the Captain and Jenna, the chief stew. I've never cared for Adam and the rest (except for the annoying blonde second stew) are just a blur of people that I don't remember. I was surprised they got $20,000 for their first tip.

I'm also a big fan of the other 2 Below Deck shows and since we are a sailing family, I thought we'd love this one too.
After 10 minutes we changed the channel and won't be watching this one.

I watched the first episode and didn't bother with the one on Monday. It didn't interest me. It seemed way too far fetched and fake.
