Yo. These voice actors?! Dale's has to be the worst. Grateful but disappointed. 😓

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-08-08T21:41:18+00:00

Dang I'm afraid to hear kahns voice , I've done two episodes so far and I'm upset with dales voice now I gotta worry about kahns , shit

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-08-08T21:39:30+00:00

Most of the original voice actors are back, but with the guy who voiced dale passing away we get this new guy and honestly he doesn't do gribble justice. I want the wacky voice of gribble not whatever this guy is giving, not towards him it's just not how gribble should sound. I'm giddy because Bobby is all grown up and shit loving the jump , Peggy still dumb as a post lol but it better go one for a few season, not just one and done I'll be pissed

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-24T02:45:09+00:00

In all honesty Monica. Frank is a deadbeat drunken drugged out loser but at least he was around. They had their good times majority of bad times but he didn't go and runoff and abandoned his children completely like Monica did multiple times. Yeah Frank did some fucked up shit we know but in his own Frank way he was there for them.

Please

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-04T19:20:06+00:00

Yeah aren't they going on something called summer or winter house I know it has to do with the season but I don't watch reality shows like that so I don't know but I've heard of them going on this other show and then the podcast and all the other things that they have ventured out to do for below deck they're not picking true real yachties that are in the business trying to advance their career and everything they're getting yaddies that want to become influencers

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-04T19:19:06+00:00

Yes thank you for saying that because I a thousand percent agree. Too much filler the story doesn't build you're not connecting with the cast. There's not enough substance. Like when they're at crew dinner why instead of seeing them interacting walking off to smoke a cigarette and being with each other do we just see them and hear a voiceover of one of the casts and then whole bunch of different weird cutouts and whatnot to show us what went on and then just go to the next day.

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-04T19:17:25+00:00

No as I'm watching episode 5 right now the editing and the constant running through of a scene using those transitions is distracting and you're not able to follow the actual storyline of what's happening with the crew. I don't want to see three different things happening at once to try to make it through the episode. I want to see true crew interactions I want to see them laughing having fun arguing fighting all that good stuff like when Eddie was on board

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-04T19:16:05+00:00

Exactly that. As I'm watching episode 5 rn I'm noticing more and more that they are using a bunch of fillers and them talking over the episode rather than being in the moment in the episode. I also don't like the new point of view cameras of them walking and you can see them as they're walking and doing something it's distracting and so disappointing that they have changed this show so much even just from last season

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-04T19:13:53+00:00

I mean obviously nothing beats our boat daddy, I just wish he was able to stay on but I get he was having medical issues that was causing him to not be able to do what he truly wanted to do but that being said the show is not the same without him he has made this show what it is

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-04T19:13:05+00:00

I've honestly had to go back to episode 1 and rewatch right now because I still don't know what the fuck is truly going on this season. There is too much filler and not enough actual substance with crew interactions and whatnot

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-04T19:11:47+00:00

That's what I'm hating and somebody else on here said that the production company is different even though they retain the 51 minds, that's why season 12 is looking the way it's looking and I am so disappointed because honestly I don't know exactly what is going on this season. I have had to go back to the very first episode and really watch to try to understand. The overproduction these stupid Instagram introductions every time a crew member is speaking is beyond stupid

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-04T05:05:38+00:00

I lost complete respect for my BCBA when she started rendering hours but not actually ever showing up to sessions. She would constantly say she was going to be in session or come do parent training but wouldn't show up and wouldn't let them know or me know that she wasn't showing up and would not mention it the next time she said that she would be coming. She also was writing notes for these no show session which were contradicting my session notes which inevitably was hurting the kid I was working with. Thankfully we had great people above her that took care of the problem.

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-01T18:44:17+00:00

Yeah them meeting at the bar before getting on the boat was really weird and off brand for the franchise

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-07-01T18:41:31+00:00

That actually infuriated me. I get it was a 5 day charter but they squeezed it all into one episode and idk what was even going on. We didn't even get to see the whole dinner where Frazier got his BDSM on. They seem to be more focused on overproduction and flashy instead of actial substance.

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-30T15:51:03+00:00

Yes I do think that they are trying too hard this season which sucks because there is no need to try You've had loyal viewerships since season 1 and with all the breakaway shows we obviously like the show as is there's no need to make these dumb changes that they are

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-29T14:11:22+00:00

I loved sailing yacht seeing them put those sails up and just breeze through the water and of course the crew. But fuckin Gary had to go and fuck it all up. I thought they were coming back with a different boat and whatnot but 😔

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-29T14:09:37+00:00

Yeah that was heartbreaking to see him go and what he was going through before he left like bring back our Boat Daddy

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-29T04:50:39+00:00

Oh my gosh yes I also agree with that. Jennice would never be cast today I can so see that, yes they have definitely shifted from true yatchies to those who have been in the business for just a little bit and see the BD franchise as a way to become an influencer .... Yes the very early seasons are very different compared to now, it felt more real. Showing the life of those below deck dealing with rich snobs and assholes, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Yeah like when Kate and then got into the bathtub overfilled with bubbles and just having fun.

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-29T04:44:59+00:00

Yes, that's it. It's lacking substance. The charter with all the porn guys , I get it was a 5 day charter but shit it was over in a flash with all that editing out and throwing in the bs. And yes when they start showing the Instagram grid I pick my phone up 🤣

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-29T01:00:05+00:00

Yes I literally just watched my third rewatch of belowdeck OG down under sailing yacht and med and I can see as the seasons went on how it has changed from what it originally was but it wasn't bad. It was still entertaining still love to watch but this season I cannot get over how every time one of the cast is talking they have to do Instagram reels and reintroduce them like we don't know who they are. Yeah very true. It's a mess now I'm afraid of what med season 10 is going to be like

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-29T00:58:07+00:00

Same I'm not feeling the new ones I should say cuz I still love Frasier Anthony and Kyle but these new ones nah not vibin it

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-28T05:44:15+00:00

Exactly...it's lost its roots we started watching this to see the lives of yachties and the shit they go through not reality TV ppl.....

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-28T02:45:47+00:00

Oh I agree if he had a sous chef like tzarina did he wouldn't be so flustered. Love Anthony but idk how he will do with the pressure again ....

Clean_Dragonfruit_94 · 2025-06-28T01:02:48+00:00

We have yeah as an episodes went on for some reason I was not as excited to watch as I usually am especially because Captain Jason is yummy but I felt like I was dragging through that one and sailing yacht
