I’m Certain Below Deck Sailing Yacht Will Be Canceled After Season 5 Following Gary King’s Misconduct Allegations

Gary King’s scandalous behavior ruined the show.
Future cast members may not want to work with him.
Viewers don’t want to support Gary anymore.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has finally been confirmed, but after Gary King’s scandalous sexual misconduct allegations surfaced last year and halted the series, I think the show should be canceled after this season. Gary, the First Officer aboard Parsifal III, has been doing his best to downplay the serious allegations against him that he’d allegedly been sexually inappropriate with a makeup artist on the Below Deck production team. After years on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, the behavior sadly wasn’t surprising to viewers who have watched Gary’s playboy actions and seen him be derogatory toward women in the past.

Gary’s behavior has been difficult to watch throughout the years, but now that Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is moving forward and coming to Bravo, things have come to a surprising head. With Gary returning to the show, which was filmed over a year ago prior to the sexual misconduct allegations coming out, things could be tense between the First Officer and the rest of the crew should the news have broken while he was aboard Parsifal III. While it’s unlikely it’ll be covered in the series, I believe Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 could be its last.

Hes Been A Nightmare Since The Beginning

Gary’s time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been difficult for some viewers to reckon with, especially after his behavior in the last year. While Gary has always been a polarizing figure in the series, many have found that watching him makes them uncomfortable after the allegations came out about his behavior, but were also uneasy about the First Officer before. Throughout Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s run, Gary has been known as the playboy type, flirting endlessly with women both on the sailing yacht’s crew and within the groups of guests aboard. Gary’s behavior hasn’t always been suspicious, but noticeable.

Gary has long been cast as the playboy of the series, but his time aboard Parsifal III hasn’t led to many romances that viewers have seen, which is why his time in the love triangle of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 was surprising. While Gary and Daisy had joked about being flirty throughout the previous seasons they’d worked together when Daisy and Colin Macrae decided to pursue a relationship aboard the sailing yacht last season, Gary quickly got jealous. Gary’s behavior was irritating, destructive, and made it clear that he wasn’t taking their genuine feelings for each other seriously.

Future Cast Members Likely Won’t Want To Work With Him

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Is Going To Struggle With Casting

While Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is already filmed and ready to go, Bravo may struggle filling spots on the series in the future. The cast of the series is, as with other Below Deck franchises, a rotating cast of yachties who work from season to season on the sailing yacht. While some stick around, like Captain Glenn Shephard, Gary, and Daisy Kelliher, others are rotating members who participate in some seasons, but not others. With a rotating cast of yachties, Below Deck Sailing Yacht needs to stay appealing to yachties who want to start working with the franchise.

While Gary has been a longtime part of the show, his behavior on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 was difficult for others to deal with. From his jealousy of Daisy and Colin to the way he treated stew Mads Herrera, who he had a flirty connection with, Gary wasn’t the ideal yachtie to work with. While his behavior could’ve been blown out of proportion for the show, the allegations against him were a far different brand of problem. With Gary accused of sexual misconduct while working aboard a Below Deck yacht, new yachties will likely want to steer clear.
