The turquoise waters of Australia might seem tranquil, but the currents on “Below Deck Down Under” are anything but calm. This Monday’s episode, “Smoochies,” finds the crew grappling with relationship woes, simmering resentments, and the usual dose of yacht-life shenanigans.
Bri finds herself questioning the strength of her relationship back home. The allure of life at sea, combined with the close quarters and inevitable interpersonal drama, tests her commitment. Meanwhile, Alesia develops a sudden and intense aversion to baby talk, which could make for some awkward moments with certain guests.
