Below Deck Sailing Yachtseason 5’s Emma Crouch may have been fired in the most recent episode to her dismay, butit’s the best thing that could’ve happened to the stale current season. While many have been waiting forBelow Deck Sailing Yacht’s return for over a year, the drama of the current season hasn’t been living up to the hype. AfterBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 4 was an exciting, drama-filled season that put the crew’s relationships into perspective, the current season hasn’t managed to find its footing after dealing with unfamiliar territory as Gary King’s largely edited out.
While many were ready forBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 5to investigate the poor behavior Gary allegedly displayed between the filming of the last season and the current season, no one anticipated how the show chose to handle his presence. Gary has largely been edited out of the series, outside of his interactions with the exterior team of Parsifal III. Emma, who was working as one of Gary’s deckhands,became one of the main issues he dealt with throughout the early stretch of the season. Though Emma brought Gary back on screen, her departure is better for the show.

While Daisy’s drama with her stews has been interesting, it hasn’t been captivating enough to hold the show together. Emma, who was one of the three deckhands who joined GaryonBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 5, was bringing her own brand of drama to the series in her difficulties fitting in with the team. Despite knowing that she was working hard alongside her fellow yachties,there were issues with Emma’s performance that she was aware of but wasn’t improving on. Gary, Emma’s manager, wasn’t bringing up her issues either, causing major issues in the department.

She Left The Show Unceremoniously
AlthoughEmma’s time onBelow Deck Sailing Yachthas come to an end, her termination wasn’t as surprising as the way she chose to leave the charter. Choosing not to talk to anyone on her way out, Emma left in anger, annoyed at the way everything had gone down. As Gary chose not to speak up about the issues he saw with Emma’s performance and instead terminate her when they became too much, it was clear thatthere was a major communication issue in the exterior department that will still need to be addressedwith Emma gone.

AlthoughEmma’s termination was hard for her, it was likely the best thing forBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 5. The replacement yachtie who will cometake Emma’s spot is no other thanBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 4’s Chase Lemacks, who had some major tension with Gary throughout the last season of the series. Chase, who will bring a whole different style of drama to the series, is going to be able to revitalize the season in the way he stands up to Gary and the way he works with the rest of theBelow Deck Sailing Yachtcrew.
