It appears that things are becoming far more complicated than originally anticipated.

Bravo's Below Deck franchise, which is still going strong after more than a decade on the air, owes its success to fans' fascination with the crew's lives aboard a luxurious superyacht.

The contestants feel genuine and never shy away from stirring up drama as they go about trying to anticipate their guests' every need. However, Sailing Yacht's Season 4 may be facing a romantic entanglement too convoluted and complex for producers to steer towards a happy ending.

Over the past two seasons, a rather weird relationship has emerged between First Officer Gary King and Chief Stewardess Daisy Kelliher. The two have been constantly flirting with each other without either doing anything to take the relationship to the next level and become a couple. The two have forever remained friends taking perverse pleasure in crushing on each other. Fans expected Gary and Daisy to finally get together in Season 4, but the arrival of the new stewardess Mads Herrera changed everything in an instant.

Gary and Mads have been flirting since the season's very first episode, so when they kissed in the bathtub, fans were not surprised at all. However, Gary chose not to talk about the incident with Daisy, fearing she might take it too seriously and flip out. Meanwhile, Daisy had something else entirely on her mind, something Gary had no idea about.

When Gary and Mads decided to spend time together in a guest cabin in episode 8, Daisy and Colin MacRae figured they would prank them. As they were getting ready to surprise the love birds, Colin instead surprised Daisy by kissing her and thus revealing he had feelings for her. The episode ended with Daisy and Colin going into the guest cabin themselves, which sent fans into a frenzy of speculation about how Gary might react to this new development.

So it looks like it’s official now: we've now got a love triangle comprising Gary, Daisy and Colin, and fans are increasingly worried that the situation may spiral out of control and result in some major unpleasantness for everyone.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 Episode 9 will air on Bravo on 29 May 2023.
