It’s the season finale of “Below Deck” Season 11. Captain Kerry Titheradge is cut snake (Aussie slang for mad) that Ben Willoughby and Kyle Stillie didn’t clean their cabins for inspection.
“You’re the f*cking bosun, mate,” Kerry tells Ben. Kyle tells Kerry that they just never got around to cleaning. Kerry responds that he saw Kyle goofing around with Barbie Pascual. “Fair enough, yeah,” Kyle says.
Kerry tells them to clean their yacht cabins or they’ll get the firing they deserve. Kyle still doesn’t take this seriously and says in a confessional, “In my experience, cabin inspections means hide the narcotics, right?”
Ben, who should lead by example, is no better and jokes about throwing his dirty clothes in the closet. They do a very rudimentary clean-up and surprisingly, they pass cabin inspections.
Beyoncé has boarded the yacht … sort of
It’s Beyoncé night for the charter guests and Fraser Olender wants the crew to do a “Single Ladies” dance. It’s the primary’s 50th birthday and they need to bring it.
The guests do a runway fashion show as their own versions of Queen Bey. Michele the primary is “Homecoming” Beyoncé.
Brandi does the very least and is just in a white tank top and jeans with a light-up headband. She is “XO” Beyoncé.
It’s now time for the “Below Deck” crew to do their dance and the choreography goes out the window. Everyone is just doing some sort of their version of off-rhythm moves but the guests are happy.
Fraser is the happiest he’s been all season because he loves Beyoncé. His happy face turns to sad when he tells Barbie she needs to be up at 11 a.m. the next day. She complains that she needs a nap then because she won’t be getting eight hours of sleep.
The second stew Xandi Olivier laughs that she hasn’t slept eight hours since stepping foot on the boat. She and Fraser roll their eyes at her and she says, “You guys are being mean.” Girl just wants to sleep, is that so much to ask?
Time to say goodbye to the last guests of the season. Kyle and Ben are already chugging out of a bottle before the tip meeting. When they all reconvene, Kerry tells the crew they made $1,538 each.
“I just can’t stop thinking about all of the protein I can buy,” Dylan Piérre De Villiers tells the cameras. I can already feel the pre-workout.” There is seriously no one in the world quite like Dylan.
Fun times off the yacht
The “Below Deck” cast goes to a really cool restaurant with a waterfall. Kyle is already slurring and orders a Long Island Iced Tea. Barbie is already in full wifey mode and tells the waiter, “No, he’ll have a water.”
Fraser predicts that everyone is going to jump in the water later and Kyle is ready to go now. He starts taking off his pants and it’s a full moon tonight. Barbie races after her toddler boyfriend to stop him from embarrassing her. Everyone is egging Kyle on and Barbie tells them to stop. “It’s like, not enjoyable for me,” she says.
Ben pulls Sunny Marquis aside and they have The Talk part two. This time, it goes better and Ben invites Sunny to Miami. She’s all happy and he boops her nose.
Now’s the time for skinny-dipping and Kyle is the first to take off his clothes. Barbie is not having it. “I’m a f*cking class act and I’m not going to date somebody who’s not,” she tells Paris.
Things soon turn not so fun off the yacht
After the restaurant, the group heads over to a club where they drink some more. Probably not a good idea, but the “Below Deck” cast isn’t known for making good decisions.
Barbie chooses literally now when Kyle is sh*t-faced drunk to air her grievances. “I asked you one thing. One thing. What the f*ck am I asking from you that’s so hard than to cover your huge d*ck?” she asks him. Well, that’s one answer to a question we never asked.
“I’m not doing it with the intention of trying to piss you off,” he says. “Well, it pisses me off. You know it pisses me off,” she tells him.
“I’m literally falling in love with you and like, you are worth it for me,” she tells him. “Okay, like, look, and I am in the wrong,” he slurs. “I’m trying my heart out here and I’m sorry that I’m such a like, an idiot.” They kiss and make up and Barbie says, “Stop showing your d*ck.”
You would think that things would have been better from there on but on the car ride back home to the yacht, Xandi tells Barbie that she would have fired her if she’d been chief stew. Barbie is like WTF and Xandi explains, “Yeah, but I’m glad you made it.”
Things turn into a sh*t show. Barbie is spiraling, Kyle can barely open his eyes and Fraser doesn’t have the coordination to make his straws meet his mouth.
Xandi tries to explain how Barbie came from the first week of “Below Deck” but she keeps getting interrupted. Paris Field tells Barbie to shush as well. Xandi starts hyperventilating, Barbie is still yelling, and Kyle makes the ultimate mistake of telling his gf to “shut the f*ck up.” At this point, his huge d*ck won’t save him from the ultimate wrath Barbie is about to unleash.
The Below Deck cast has poked the bear AKA Barbie Pascual
At this point, Barbie is DONE and is raging in her cabin. She starts packing up all her stuff in a furor while yelling, “You guys wanted to drive me bat-sh*t crazy? You win! Everybody wins! I’m going to go straight to a five-star resort. You pieces of sh*t. I don’t f*cking need this.”
“Me and Kyle are freaking done. I’m never going to be with somebody who doesn’t have my back,” she tells the cameras. “And you know, to have this guy that I broke every wall with and to have this guy that I went against my family with and to have this guy sit next to me and let these people attack me … Kyle’s the biggest disappointment of them all.”
Barbie departs the yacht without even looking at Kyle. The next morning, Kyle reveals a text from Barbie that reads, “Change your f*cking flight. I never want to see you again.”
“I’m glad that she’s gone. I’ve never been on such an emotional rollercoaster in my life,” Kyle says in a confessional. “I really do feel like she took me for a ride a bit. I think I felt far stronger about her than she did about me.”
Kerry calls Barbie to check up on her and she vents about feeling attacked. “I feel for her because she tried,” he tells the cameras. Princess Barbie is going to be just fine. She doesn’t like her hotel so she’s trying to book a villa next door.
Everyone says their goodbyes, except for for Sunny and Ben, who are leaving together. TBD how they’ll end up but Ben’s dating history doesn’t bode well for Paris.
As for Fraser, he and Kerry leave on good terms so we’ll likely see them back for the next season. Until then, anchors away maties!
