Below Deck - How Accurate is it Really?

It started slowly at first. The messages started pinging through: “OMG so addicted to Below Deck, is your life really like that?!”; “Can’t wait to see you…been watching Below Deck, I HAVE QUESTIONS” and perhaps most worryingly (from someone I barely know) “I’m addicted to Below Deck and want to dip my toe into yachting, what do you think?” 

Then I flew to the UK and turned on Breakfast TV just in time to hear Lorraine telling viewers she was staying in, enjoying lockdown and binge-watching Below Deck. Hell, even my Dad WhatsApped the family chat to say he and Mum were watching with interest.

Below Deck Fever is now in full swing. Every time I see friends they want the lowdown on whether it’s an accurate depiction of crew life.  I wonder if this is what it was like for people from Essex once TOWIE got underway?  Did they feel they had to prove to everyone they met that they weren’t just an oversized set of veneers and a spray tan before cracking on with the conversation?
