Captain Jason Chambers has let three crew members go (so far) on Below Deck Down Under Season 3, which he's calling a "reset."
How to Watch
Watch Below Deck Down Under on Mondays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up Bravo.
The Katina captain took to his Instagram page on April 17 to share his thoughts on the season thus far.
"Halfway Time Reset. We definitely had our challenges this first half," he said. "We went out there with all good intentions and we gave everything we had to get this far."
The captain said his intention "was to let department heads learn to manage." His current department heads are Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph, chief stew Lara Rigby, and new Bosun Nate Salmon.
"However, not everything works out the way you want in life," Jason continued. "We now have to reset and finish off the season with a positive attitude and respectful approach to achieving a great working environment."
The dad of one implored fans to be kind when watching.
"One point I will make, this was a year ago in the making and crew will be watching back now and will be affected by what’s written about them, so just enjoy the ride and remember the crew are humans with emotions," he concluded in his post, which you can check out below. "Thanks to all the crew to date on Season 3, it’s harder than people imagine."
Who got fired on Below Deck Down Under Season 3?
After failing to click with Tzarina, sous chef Anthony Bird left the boat on Season 3, Episode 4 at Jason's urging.
Bosun Wihan Du Toit and deckhand Johnny Arvanitis were both fired on Season 3, Episode 11 following an incident in their cabin.
What to expect from the rest of Below Deck Down Under Season 3
The midseason trailer for Below Deck Down Under dropped at the end of Episode 11, which aired on April 14, and it highlights a possible boatmance between sous chef Alesia Harris and the new Bosun, Nate.
"Johnny's gone," Alesia says in an interview about her connection with Nate. "It's like the angel on my shoulder, but I definitely resonate more with the devil."
