Below Deck‘s Rainbeau de Roos didn’t expect to be accused of being “over flirty” with the men on board.
In Us‘ exclusive clip from the Monday, November 9, episode, Rainbeau asks Rosa Simms-Preston about rumors of “tension” between them.
“Sometimes you’re overly flirty with guys,” Rosa tells the second stew. “I think we were just a bit shocked because you said you had a boyfriend.”
Rainbeau, however, didn’t see any issue with her behavior.
“OK, fair. That’s my entertainment throughout the day,” she explains. “I flirt with everyone.”
Rosa, however, claims Rainbeau isn’t flirty “with everyone,” adding, “You flirt with people it’s not appropriate to be doing it with.”
Rainbeau didn’t agree that she only spoke with men who had other women interested in them already. “Do I now have to walk around with a trash bag over my head because you’re insecure?” she wonders in a confessional. “Like, I’m sorry you don’t feel like you can compete with me.”
Captain Kerry Titheradge and Fraser Olender return with Rainbeau on season 13, alongside new crew members including chef Moe Vilomar, bosun Alex Wright, deckhands James Bishop, Matthew Fitzpatrick-Buck and Jessenia Stidger and stews Kaylee Brown and Rosa.
Before the season premiered in October, Kerry spoke to Us about how some surprise changes would be introduced.
“This season, we’re going to have some changes that I don’t think we’ve ever seen on Below Deck before,” Kerry exclusively revealed. “There’s definitely some changes. There’s gonna be some decisions made that maybe I may have to rethink — if I could rethink again — which way I went with.”
The captain was looking forward to seeing how the shakeups would play out on screen.
“I’m excited to look back on myself and see how I manage the boat with hindsight in mind,” he noted. “I’m already seeing things in the first episode that I had no idea about. So off the bat, there’s already things that I’m excited to see myself.”
Kerry continued: “This season, for me, it was such a different and unique part of the world. The Caribbean is lovely. I also did Norway, which was very exciting. But going into Thailand, it was a totally different experience. I really wanted to feel the place and they call it ‘the country of smiles,’ and the energy that you get from that country, it just reverberates for everybody. Everything comes from the top, right? So if I’m stressed and wound up and micromanaging and just not happy to be around, it kind of filters through the whole crew.”
Below Deck airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
