Monday’s episode of Below Deck Down Under was a slow buildup to explosive drama. At the beginning of the episode, a scene shows deckhand Johnny Arvanitis punching a wall, and then it counts down to when it happened.
Dramatic Turn Of Events
The crew had a drunken night out after saying goodbye to the latest charter guests. (The Bachelor alum Corinne Olympios was part of that charter group.) Their night out wasn’t as fun as it seemed. It got more dramatic as the night went on. Tensions were already high with bosun Wihan du Toit.
/Alesia Harris stumbled around drunk, looking for Johnny. According to Us Weekly, she accidentally ended up in Wihan’s top bunk. She called out his name several times. Even though Wihan knew that it was Alesia, he didn’t tell her that he wasn’t Johnny. Instead, he allowed her to get into bed with him.
Thinking that he was Johnny, Alesia talked about the drama involving Wihan. Meanwhile, Wihan acted as if Alesia was his girlfriend. He knew that she was involved with Johnny. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck. That was when Johnny entered the cabin and saw what was happening.
Why Johnny Was Angry
Johnny assumed Alesia was cheating on him with Wihan. He immediately left the room. Once she realized who was in bed with her, Alesia jumped out and left. She explained to Johnny that she thought Wihan was him, but he refused to hear it. He was already on the outs with Wihan. Johnny took this bad night as a sign that he shouldn’t be on the boat anymore.
He returned to the cabin and threatened to quit his job. Wihan told him to stop talking. This only instigated the situation. At the end of Monday’s episode, Johnny punched the wall. He rubbed his face as he looked straight into the camera, thinking about his next move. He covered up the camera as a “To Be Continued” message flashed on the screen.
This incident comes one season after former bosun Luke Jones got into bed naked with stewardess Margot Sisson, who was passed out after a drunken night out. The camera crew intervened and got Luke after the boat. Chief stew Aesha Scott notified Captain Jason Chambers, who immediately fired Luke. Fans are curious to see how this situation is handled and if Wihan will face similar consequences.
