Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5: A Controversial Return
Mixed Reactions to the New Trailer
The eagerly anticipated trailer for Season 5 of “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” has finally arrived, but not all fans are thrilled. While viewers have been waiting over a year for updates, the trailer’s release has sparked concern. Although familiar faces like Captain Glenn Shephard and First Officer Gary King make an appearance, the storylines hinted at in the trailer have left some feeling uneasy. Gary’s involvement, especially in light of past allegations, seems to overshadow the season’s excitement.
A Glimpse of Chaos in Ibiza
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Ibiza, the trailer showcases the crew’s latest sailing escapades. Early on, Gary’s presence is made known, following closely after Daisy Kelliher’s dramatic entrance. The tension is palpable as Daisy confronts Gary, shouting, “That’s right, we have a f job and I’m not carrying this f season on my own you f prick.” The trailer teases a season brimming with chaos, much to the surprise and concern of loyal viewers.
The Implications of Gary’s Continued Presence
More Prominent Than Ever
Throughout the trailer, Gary emerges as a central figure in the exterior team’s narrative. He is seen pushing Deckhands to their limits and critiquing their performance. Although he appears to have a working relationship with Daisy, the dynamic might shift by season’s end. Despite his prominent role in the trailer, it’s uncertain if this focus will persist throughout the season.

Gary has been a staple on “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” since its early days, but his continued presence following allegations of misconduct is unsettling for some fans.

Our Perspective on the Upcoming Season
Potential for Drama Overshadowed by Controversy
The trailer hints at a season filled with excitement and drama, but Gary’s involvement casts a shadow. By seemingly dismissing the allegations against him and allowing him to remain on the show without addressing the issue, Bravo risks sending the wrong message. While the allegations remain unproven, the network’s inaction could mar the entire season for viewers who were once eager for its premiere.
“Below Deck Sailing Yacht” is set to premiere on Monday, October 7 at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
