Gael & Nathan *Finally* Reveal What “Strawberry” Really Means: “Nobody’s Gonna Believe…”
Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher are telling all about “strawberry” and that fourth-wall breaking moment.
One of Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher’s first conversations on Season 9 of Below Deck Mediterranean was about strawberries, and ever since then, the yachties have continued to talk about the fruit — or have they? Both Gael and Nathan weighed in on the true meaning of “strawberry” during a recent episode of the Below Deck Mediterranean After Show.
Gael, for her part, said, “Strawberry — it’s a damn fruit, man!” before quickly admitting, “I get how it looked.”
Nathan, on the other hand, stated, “Strawberry wasn’t necessarily a strawberry, all right?”
From there, Gael launched into the backstory of the word.
“What had happened is we brought the provisions in, and I was like, ‘Holy sh-t, this is the freakin’ best strawberry I’ve ever had,'” Gael began. “[Nathan] goes, ‘Oh, are you gonna steal me one?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ll steal you one!'”
Actually stealing another proved to be a big challenge, but Gael was determined. As she put it, “I’m a woman of my word. If I tell you I’m gonna jump that fence, let me tell you, it might take me 3 hours, but I will f-cking jump that fence.”
Fast-forward to the crew’s first night out, during which Gael was caught telling Nathan, “I haven’t given you a strawberry yet. Can I do it tonight?”
Despite what it may sound like like, Gael insisted on the After Show that she was speaking literally at the time. So, when everyone returned to the boat, she snuck out of her cabin and attempted to grab a strawberry one last time — until she was caught by Below Deck Med producers.
