Below Deck Down Under Recap: Slow and Steady Loses the Race

Ben is being realistic about needing help with the ship’s kitchen and has clearly explained Ellie’s duties: she’ll keep the galley tidy and assist with cooking for the crew. Ellie quickly realizes her main role is to bring order to Ben’s somewhat chaotic approach. Alesia overhears Ben and Ellie laughing and wonders why, thinking Ben is being harsh. Jason cautions Ellie about Ben’s quick temper, but so far, she hasn’t experienced that side of him. In fact, Ben is surprisingly kind – he proudly introduces João to Ellie as a respected captain and a close friend. It seems all it takes to calm Ben down is a fresh start and the company of someone he finds attractive.
