A tense and alarming incident involving a guest on the latest episode of ‘Below Deck: Down Under’ has left both the crew members on the reality show and the viewers at home in a state of suspense.
The popular Bravo reality series follows the adventures of the captain and crew of a private yacht, alongside the guests who charter the vessel. In this particular episode, the spotlight was on Tom Shelton, the primary guest described as a “highly successful property developer” in Eastern Australia. Accompanied by his close group of friends, often referred to by the crew as “seven big Australian blokes,” Shelton embarked on the yacht journey.
Shortly after boarding the yacht, the group gathered for an elaborate multi-course dinner crafted by the boat’s chef, Tzarina Mace-Ralph. However, tension arose when one of the guests, nicknamed “Joshy” by his companions, suddenly began experiencing convulsions and distressing sounds. The scene depicted possible foaming at the mouth before the individual was carefully placed on their side.
Chief Steward Aesah Scott promptly contacted the yacht’s captain, Jason Chambers, who swiftly intervened by providing medical assistance. Meanwhile, Scott initiated communication with the nearest onshore doctor. Cameras captured the escalating confusion among the crew members as they grappled with understanding the situation.
The episode concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger, displaying the phrase “to be continued…” on the screen, leaving the audience anxiously awaiting the next episode to gain clarity on the guest’s condition.
While speculations of an allergic reaction arose among viewers, the show’s standard “preference sheet meeting,” which typically reveals guest preferences and allergies, did not mention any allergies on air. Consequently, the episode concluded without providing any clear hints about the cause of the medical emergency. As a result, concerned viewers will have to remain patient until the next installment to learn more about the incident’s resolution.
The ongoing season has been marked by its fair share of drama, including the firing of two cast members due to instances of inappropriate behavior. The most recent episode also featured an early dismissal of deckhand Adam Kodra following a significant anchor-related mishap.
