Below Deck Down Under’s Captain Jason Chambers received his most out-of-the-box gift from guests, which was originally meant to be a sex toy.
During the Monday, April 20, episode of the hit Bravo show, the most recent guests discussed leaving a “c*** ring” behind for Jason, 41, along with the tip. Instead, they put a silicone breastplate from their drag night in his quarters.
Jason was delighted — and shocked — by the surprise. He put it on and even posed for some photos once the charter came to an end. While the guests were at times high maintenance and kept the crew on their toes with their requests, it was a much bigger success compared to past charters.
Season 4, which premiered in February, followed Captain Jason back at the helm of the Katina in the Caribbean alongside Ben Robinson, Daisy Kelliher and João Franco. Alesia, meanwhile, returned as sous chef alongside new crew stews Joe Caron and Jenna Woudberg, deck/stew Mike Durrant and deckhands Eddy Hounsell and Betul Yazici. Alesia later switched to interior while Ellie Dubaich came on as a galley hand.
Jason previously told Us that season 4 was “challenging for everyone” on board.
“Everyone had their own little thing going on. Daisy was joining a new franchise and she had a point to prove. She was coming off a bad season on Sailing Yacht where she wasn’t putting her foot down with some crew. João is coming back as a captain and he had to swallow egos and pride to get back on deck and help me out,” he explained in February. “Then you got Ben, who hasn’t been in this scenario for quite some time. He’s been running his own business.”
Jason continued, “To pick up the knives and pack his bag after a failed relationship and say yes to being down here in 12 hours and change his life upside down. We were all in something. There was so much tension there. Now I’m looking back and I’m just like, ‘Wow, we were all in a personal challenge going into it.'”
While Bravo viewers are used to issues playing out on screen, this season of Below Deck Down Under is different.
“There’s a difference between the fighting that we’ve seen in the previous seasons to this one. This is what the audience is going to love now, which I am really starting to see how it’s going to unfold myself. I only see it with you all. But it is the fact that the things that are going on are true personality and work related issues to get through,” Jason shared. “In working in such close confinement, it’s really raw stuff. It’s not just pointless arguing over silly topics. It’s just the crew — not just the heads of department. There’s more to it than that? but it’s actually [a] challenging drama that is significant or poignant to actually operating a vessel.”
Below Deck Down Under airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
