Welcome back! This week on Below Deck Season 12 Episode 6, relationships are taking several turns, creating tensions amongst the exterior and interior teams alike. Speaking of the deck team, last week, Captain Kerry sent Caio home. But when a new bosun arrives, Fraser has zero time to celebrate, as he is up to his neck in party planning for his current, rude charter guests. Here is everything that happened in Below Deck Season 12 Episode 6, “Yacht-Chella.”
What happened in Below Deck Season 12 Episode 6?
Rainbeau continues trying to fit in. However, Bárbara and Solène remain wary. But Solène has other problems to deal with, as her relationship with Kyle is now taking an unexpected love triangle-sized turn. However, their main issues lie with their new charter guests, who are now in the running for the title of the absolute worst in this franchise. Now, Captain Kerry has his eyes on them, as he desires to protect his crew from their demeaning affronts.
Solène chooses Jess over Kyle
Caio graciously accepts his firing. All is well. Their new bosun is on their way, informs Captain Kerry.
Solène admits that she is not as into Kyle as he is into her. She will need to talk to him soon, she says. The crew heads off to dinner, ready to let loose. In her van, Solène confesses her lesser feelings to the girls.
Following dinner, Solène and Jess head to the bathroom, where they make out. They continue kissing on the dance floor, which everyone celebrates, minus Kyle. Back on the yacht, Jess crawls into bed with Solène as Kyle laments about his poor picker, both last season and now.
The crew awakens to a day off. Solène tells Bárbara that she did not sleep with Kyle, so he is likely jealous of her interactions with Jess. But Solène does “not care,” she admits.
The crew turns over the yacht. While working, Jess tells Damo that she only cuddled with Solène. The camera pans to show Kyle nursing his broken heart in his cabin.
A new bosun arrives while a love triangle forms
The new bosun arrives. I was wrong. Jess did not receive a promotion. Instead, an American named Hugo Ortega arrives, thankfully leaving Jess in the lead deckhand position.
Strip club owners are coming on board tomorrow. They love the 90s and live music, so the crew must deliver a concert, complete with a VIP area, DJ, and dancing on the dock. Fraser is excited, albeit nervous, due to his small timeframe.
That night, Solène and Jess once again go to sleep in the same bunk. In the morning, Fraser learns that his budget is $20k for this deck party. Thrilled, Fraser assigns all bar duties to Solène and then finds a local event planner eager to help. He then heads to see Anthony to check on menus, as Anthony quips in his talking head that a storm is coming for him and Fraser.
Speaking of rough waters, Solène hugs Kyle, biting him during their embrace. This interaction makes her nipples happy, she tells Bárbara. In her interview, Solène admits that she feels torn between Kyle and Jess.
The charter guests arrive, and they are awful
The event planner arrives. He and Fraser sort out their plans. Several beats later, the guests arrive, immediately complaining about the lack of a red carpet and Solène, who rushed out late to the dock to greet them. Fraser sighs, labeling them as “rude, classless,” and “obnoxious” in his talking head.
“Why are you guys still standing there? Get on the boat,” Jason, a friend of the primary, yells. He then asks where their welcome drinks are, as Captain Kerry finds his voice first, stressing that the fun is all on board. Sure enough, a tray of rum punches surfaces.
Kyle and Solène randomly kiss as Hugo nails his first assignment, easily calling out orders as the yacht gets underway and through the bridge of hell. The deck team finally feels confident, thanks to Hugo.
Fraser readies the table for lunch as Jason once again chides him. “Jason is so pleasant,” Fraser jokes back, making the guests laugh. Fraser leaves and finds Captain Kerry, who notes that if the guests are rude, he will handle it.
While serving lunch, Rainbeau nudges Bárbara with her foot, seemingly trying to get Bárbara to move. Bárbara tells Solène about this, and they agree that they are not fans of Rainbeau.
The first Below Deck Carnivale Party might fail
Anthony comes out to check on how the guests felt about his lunch. Jason has another mean answer in return. Anthony smiles, flicking Jason off in his interview.
Seeing the red flags forming, Captain Kerry meets with the interior team. If they feel uncomfortable, they are to let him know.
The guests take to the water as Fraser texts his event planner, reminding him he wants a live band, Carnivale dancers, and a DJ. “Sounds good,” the planner replies. Happy, Fraser starts prepping for that night’s 1995-themed dinner service.
Rainbeau provides shots of tequila at dinner, which charter guest Dawn ribs her for. Dawn tells Rainbeau she is on her “sh*t list,” so she needs to bring her a better shot. On their preference sheet, Fraser draws devil horns on Dawn and Jason.
The next morning, Captain Kerry gives Fraser a lift back to the dock, where zero party prep has taken place. The event planner tells them everything will be ready, but Fraser remains stressed, as these guests are not the ones to piss off.
Below Deck continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
