Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 4 (“The Chef’s Assistant”) might go down as one of the most cursed charters in franchise history. Primaries Christian and Annette Perry, along with their group (including poor Liz), arrived expecting polo vibes, luxury service, and zero drama.

Instead, they got a nonstop parade of mishaps that had them looking more confused and frustrated than relaxed. Here’s the full cringey, hilarious breakdown of why these guests couldn’t catch a single break.

1. Disastrous First Impression
   The crew was still inside changing into whites while the guests stood awkwardly on the pier, staring at an empty yacht. Captain Jason was livid—first impressions set the tone, and this one screamed “we’re already behind.”
2. Starving While the Galley Flirted
   Guests sat down hungry, but food took forever. Daisy radioed the galley multiple times—no response. Ben and Ellie were too busy giggling to notice. When the first dish finally arrived 20 minutes late, Annette rejected it outright (“not my cup of tea”) and demanded a full ingredient list for her Bloody Mary—still missing a straw.
3. Polos-and-Pearls Theme Fail
   The upstairs dinner decor was unfinished and wrong: country horses instead of polo horses. Christian spotted it instantly and ordered, “Let’s get rid of it before anybody sees it.” The team yanked everything in a frantic scramble—embarrassing and chaotic.
4. Snorkeling Turned Terrifying
   Strong currents swept the group away during their excursion. João heroically rescued Liz after tense moments of her being missing (thankfully she had her life jacket). Liz admitted she’d have panicked without it. The guests barely recovered from the scare.
5. Beach Picnic Meltdown
   Annette overheated on the beach but had left her swimsuit on the yacht. Daisy sent Eddy to grab it—he took 45 minutes to return (and didn’t even remember the task clearly). Food still hadn’t arrived either. Annette waited in the sun, miserable.

Add in language barriers causing docking blunders, Betul feeling “stupid,” and general service lag, and it’s clear: nothing went right. Christian’s half-joking “Don’t let it happen again” to Ben summed up the vibe—they had standards, and the crew kept missing the mark.

These guests spent the entire charter in catch-up mode, forcing the team to “make up for” every slip-up. Fans are calling it nightmare-level bad luck: hilarious for viewers, brutal for the paying party. Will they tip generously out of pity, or roast the crew online later?

Below Deck Down Under Season 4 airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo, streaming next day on Peacock. Worst charter guests ever? Or just the unluckiest? Drop your verdict below—we’re still cringing!
