Category: Below Deck: Mediterranean

Each installment of Bravo’s Below Deck franchise has a literal boatload of drama. The biggest sources of drama are, of course, the cast and the charter guests. The other consistent source of drama (and stress) throughout all the Below Deck shows is docking the boats. So, why is docking a yacht or super yacht so difficult?

Below Deck chef Ben Robinson is most known for his iconic laugh and his delicious-looking food, but he’s also earned a bit of a reputation for hooking up with his colleagues (like many Below Deck alums.) On the original Below Deck, Ben had a friends-with-benefits relationship with stew Kat Held, and also had a between seasons romance with Chief Stew Kate Chastain. When Ben helped kick off Below Deck: Mediterranean, he engaged in flirtations with Hannah and Tiffany Copeland. Did he ever hook up or date Hannah or Tiffany?
