Below Deck Loses 2 Crewmembers After a Firing and a Dramatic Season 11 Departure

Below deck 's capt. kerry titheradge fired the first season 11 yachtie during the bravo series' march 18 episode, but that wasn't the only shocking departure. find out who else left the yacht..

The  St. David  is down not one, but two crewmembers.

During Below Deck 's March 18 episode, Captain Kerry Titheradge  fired the first season 11 yachtie when he let Bosun Jared Woodin go for unprofessional behavior, the last straw being an inebriated Jared barging into Stew Barbie Pascual 's cabin the night prior and yelling at Deckhand Kyle Stillie for leaving a mess of loose tobacco on the deck after a night of partying. 

"This is the second time you've gone on the piss and you've had bad behavior," Kerry told his subordinate. "You're in a leadership role. You can't be acting like that. You gotta be above the fray. The way that you're treating these guy is not acceptable."

But it wasn't just the alcohol that was the problem, as Kerry noted Jared's mental state wasn't where it needed to be. "You've got s--t going on, man," he shared. "You're your own worst enemy right now. You need to depart the vessel."

However, Jared agreed his head wasn't in the right place and accepted his termination graciously.

"This ain't the right place for me at the right time," Jared replied, to which Kerry responded, "I don't blame you for that. Take this time and work on yourself. Me keeping you here is a disservice to you."

Before departing the super-yacht, Jared reflected in a confessional, "I thought I was in a good headspace coming into this. I'm really not. And as much as I'd like to be I'm just lying to myself."

But Jared wasn't the only teammate to set sail during the latest episode. Stew Cat Baugh willingly left the ship after admittedly struggling with the job all season long.

"I really wanna push through for you guys," Cat, in tears, told Chief Stew Fraser Olender after receiving a very distressing call from a friend back home in America. "I'm just losing my mind right now."

And Fraser totally understood his crewmember's needs.

"If you're in a very unhappy place," he told her, "I'd rather you put your health and your mental health before that and we get you the help you need as soon as we can."

In a confessional, Fraser elaborated, "I don't know what is going on, but you can look into someone's eyes sometimes and see that there is no more that they can give. They are going through enough to be incapable and I need to do what's right for her. "

See how the crew copes with the unexpected departures when Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo. And keep reading to look back at the most shocking Below Deck firings ever.

If there's one thing to learn from Camille Lamb 's Below Deck firing, it's to not slack off on the job. That's exactly why the season 10 stew was let go by substitute Captain Sandy Yawn , as Chief Stew Fraser Olender continued to criticize Camille's behavior on board.

From being caught drinking while preparing for a new charter to partying at late hours and more, Fraser informed Captain Sandy that he had reached his "last straw."

"She's the common denominator in all of this," said Captain Sandy. "Great girl, great personality, but at the same time, we have to do what's best for the boat."

Below Deck Adventure 's Kyle Dickard was let go just three episodes into the reality franchise's latest series—which premiered in November 2022. After picking fights with his fellow deckhand Nathan Morley —as well as kissing crew mates in front of guests—Kyle was offered by Captain Kerry Titheradge the opportunity to resign so that his firing would not end up on his personal record.

Kyle took the Captain up on his offer and left the boat after just one charter.

Captain Sandy let bosun Raygan Tyler go during season seven of Below Deck Mediterranean ,  not only for causing the boat to  take a small hit while docking, but also for not stepping up to the plate as a leader.

But Captain Sandy didn't want her firing to discourage the bosun, as she told Raygan, "If I had the time and I wasn't running a boat this size, I would train you. I would teach you."

In addition to onboard romances and failing to follow directions , one of the biggest reasons behind stew Elizabeth Frankini 's Below Deck firing was her infamous laundry room accident , during which made a toxic mess when combining bleach and laundry soap.

"Unfortunately, I didn't know that was so toxic and I feel so bad about it," she told E! News of the incident in December 2020 . "You know, I do feel really bad, especially 'cause Francesca [ Rubi ] did say, 'Take it outside.'"

The bosun and stew were both fired by Captain Jason Chambers for inappropriate behavior after a night of partying with their fellow yachties.

Luke Jones was let go after getting into Stew Margot Sisson 's bed naked while she was drunk and unconscious. Laura Bileskaine also made unwanted advances on Deckhand Adam Kodra despite him telling her he was not interested in hooking up.

Jason made it known that consent was a must, and sent both crewmembers packing.

Tensions between stew Lexi Wilson and Chef Mathew Shea came to a head during an explosive dinner fight on season six of Below Deck Mediterranean , during which Lexi told Matt that his parents "should've aborted you." That was the last straw for Captain Sandy, who fired her not long after the incident.

Deckhand Tom Pearson said "bon voyage" to Below Deck Sailing Yacht after getting let go by Captain Glenn Shephard . Tom hit his last strike with the Captain after failing to report that the boat's anchor was dragging during heavy winds one night, causing a potential safety risk for everyone on board.

"It had to be done. It was such a grievous thing that he dropped the ball there, he had to go, and we had to just be man down and live with it, you know?" Captain Glenn said of the decision  on Watch What Happens Live. "So, obviously, you don't want to do that, but yeah, it had to happen."

Some people are picky eaters, but Below Deck Down Under' s Ryan McKeown was quite the picky chef, as he would judge guests'  food requests  and fail to take  criticism from Captain Jason Chambers , as well.

Perhaps Ryan's Below Deck exit is one of the franchise's most memorable, as he mooned Jason and viewers on his way off the boat.

Below Deck Down Under stew Magda Ziomek 's firing was another case of slacking on the job. After constantly being on her phone texting or video chatting with her boyfriend, Chief Stew Aesha Scott decided to replace Magda before the end of the charter season.

Below Deck Mediterranean 's Peter Hunziker was fired from the series in June 2020 after he shared an offensive post on social media.

"Peter Hunziker of Below Deck Mediterranean has been terminated for his racist post," Bravo wrote in a statement at the time. "Bravo and 51 Minds are editing the show to minimize his appearance for subsequent episodes."

Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier was let go by Captain Sandy on Below Deck Mediterranean after boson Malia White discovered her co-star possessed undeclared Valium and a vape pen, the former of which Hannah claimed was for her anxiety.

"If I could do it all over again, I would've just declared them as soon as I came on board," Hannah stated in an August 2020 interview with E! News. "It was definitely not something that was intentional. I wasn't trying to hide anything.

Below Deck Mediterranean 's Delaney Evans left just as quickly as she arrived. After initially being brought on during season six to help out Chief Stew Katie Flood , Katie determined that Delaney was doing more harm than good, choosing to let her go after just one charter.

"I think she was overwhelmed with the situation, and I think that, you know, in her mind, the best solution to the situation was just to go back to what they had before," Delaney told Bravo Insider of Katie's decision. "I think she was just overwhelmed with everything that was going on and all the feedback she was getting."

Deckhand Shane Coopersmith was a bit in over his head on season eight of Below Deck , as he was let go for failing to know basic skills, reporting late for duty and taking naps on the job.

Chaos in the kitchen led to Captain Lee Rosbach letting Chef Leon Walker go on season three of Below Deck . After an oven fire broke out , Lee placed the blame on Chief Stew Kate Chastain but was ultimately the one sent home.

Like several of the franchise's stars, Below Deck 's Chris Brown  was fired  during season five for failing to fully perform his duties. After being let go by Captain Lee, Chris shared some parting words as he left the boat, stating , "Who gives a s--t?"

Chef Mila Kolomeitseva was fired by Captain Sandy on season four of Below Deck Mediterranean after failing to use her cooking skills to produce top-quality food for guests—including some not-so-nice nachos .

"Of course it makes me feel awful," Mila said of her departure . "People like me who have big egos sometimes have to be put down to earth a little bit. But it makes me feel like I want to work even harder."

Sometimes people just don't work well together. That's exactly why Captain Lee fired Chandler Brooks during season six of Below Deck , telling the boson, "I don't think it's a good fit."

Screen Rant

8 ways jake gyllenhaal's road house remake is better than the 1989 original movie.

The Road House remake improves upon the original in a few key ways, but it still delivers the same adrenaline-fueled action and crowd-pleasing humor.

• Beautiful locations set the 2024 Road House remake apart from the original, but they also add to the story's depth.
• Elwood Dalton's backstory as a former UFC fighter improves his character, making him a more tragic hero in the remake.
• Conor McGregor shines as a compelling villain in the film, bringing a magnetic presence and chaotic glee to the character Knox.

The 2024 remake of Road House is now available on Amazon Prime, and the comparisons to the 1989 remake have already begun. Road House is earning largely positive reviews , with many critics praising the action scenes and Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as Elwood Dalton. Based on the character originally played by Patrick Swayze in 1989, Dalton is a former UFC fighter who takes a job as a bouncer in a bar in Florida, only to find that the local biker gang aren't just looking to cause trouble for their own amusement.

Despite Road House 's controversies behind-the-scenes , the remake has earned a higher score on Rotten Tomatoes than the original. Action movie remakes are notoriously hit-and-miss, but Road House manages to deliver the same adrenaline-pumping thrills as the original, but with a few touches which elevate the story. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance and an entertaining film debut from UFC star Conor McGregor are two of the main factors that make Road House a crowd-pleasing remake that improves upon the original.

Road House Review: Doug Liman's Remake Is Bigger, Louder & Slightly Dumber Than The Original

8 the remake has beautiful locations, 2024's road house is set in the florida keys.

The Double Deuce bar in the original Road House is located in a small town in Missouri. It makes more sense for this bar to attract a rowdy clientele, but it isn't the picturesque location that the remake has. The Road House bar in the remake isn't really a roadhouse at all. It's a scenic bar with ocean views. As Frankie tells Dalton, it would be a nice place to get married. The bar isn't the only beautiful location in the movie. Even the evil scheming of the villain takes place on a luxurious yacht.

The scenery isn't just good to look at. It also adds weight to the story of an idyllic town beset by violent gangsters and a corrupt sheriff's department. The villains in Glass Key live in an unspoiled paradise, but they want more. The location also represents the change in Dalton's mental state. Before crossing the bridge to the Keys, he almost lets himself get hit by a train, but the town and its people give him something worth fighting for. The gorgeous scenery is a clever way of representing that.

7 Dalton's Backstory Is More Sympathetic

Elwood dalton was a famous ufc fighter.

Elwood Dalton's past as a UFC fighter means that people know who he is. He would prefer to escape his past, but that isn't easy when the whole world saw him kill a man on YouTube.

In the original Road House, James Dalton is a professional bouncer in New York before he starts working at the Double Deuce in Missouri. The ghost from his past is that he once went too far and killed a man by ripping out his throat. The remake improves upon this same framework, making Dalton's past even more tragic. Elwood Dalton is a former UFC fighter who pummeled an opponent to death in the ring. Before he moves to the Florida Keys, he is using his reputation to pick up easy money at underground MMA events.

Road House 's characters are mostly new creations for the remake. Dalton is a pre-existing character, but Gyllenhaal's version is different to Swayze's. Elwood Dalton's past as a UFC fighter means that people know who he is. He would prefer to escape his past, but that isn't easy when the whole world saw him kill a man on YouTube. His new enemies in Glass Key, and even some of his friends, constantly remind him of the worst moment of his life. This makes him a more tragic hero than James Dalton from the original Road House, although they have a lot in common.

6 Conor McGregor Plays A Compelling Villain

The former ufc champion mixes fighting pedigree with humor.

Conor McGregor isn't the only real-life UFC fighter in Road House , but he certainly has the biggest role. In his feature film acting debut, McGregor plays Knox, the volatile and unpredictable mercenary who is brought in by Brandt's father to clean up his mess and shut down the Road House once and for all. McGregor isn't the greatest actor, but he still has a magnetic presence as a flamboyant villain, and his real-life reputation infuses his fights with even more jeopardy.

From his introduction, strolling naked through a bustling market, to Road House 's post-credits scene when he bursts out of a hospital, McGregor is a major highlight. His action figure strut marks him out as a maverick early on, and he is clearly the biggest threat Dalton has faced even before he lifts a finger. McGregor channels a chaotic sort of glee that movie villains often have when they know they are too physically imposing for anyone to touch them. Knox enjoys violence and he has nothing to lose.

Road House 2024 Soundtrack Guide: Every Song & When They Play

5 the mystery plot keeps things moving, dalton must uncover why the road house is being targeted.

Movies like Road House run the risk of becoming too repetitive. Since so much of the movie's appeal is about action, the story can appear to be a secondary concern. However, the Road House remake highlights the original's failure in terms of plotting. It's by no means a masterpiece of storytelling, but the remake uses several tricks which add up to a more compelling plot. The most important of these is the mystery plot, as Dalton has to figure out why Brandt and his goons are so fixated on the bar.

The mystery gives Dalton the opportunity to play the role of detective, which adds another layer to the movie. He's still every bit the action hero, but he also has to out-think his adversaries. Dalton eventually pieces together the jigsaw and figures out that his problems will continue for as long as Brandt still has investors to repay. The introduction of Knox just shows how desperate Brandt's father is to finish the deal.

4 The Remake Has A Funnier Script

Gyllenhaal is underrated as a comedic actor.

Jake Gyllenhaal has played a few comedic characters in his career, like his wacky animal rights activist in Okja, but he also has a knack for making dramatic roles subtly funnier. This makes his characters feel more well-rounded and human. Road House gives him some great punch lines, and he also brings his comedic talents to some of the movie's less funny moments. Whether he's asking if a man has medical insurance before sending him to the hospital or training his deputy bouncers, Elwood Dalton has an infectious charm.

Patrick Swayze also gets the opportunity to deliver some wry comedic lines in the original Road House. He always has a wise crack when someone says he should be bigger, and his on-screen dynamic with Sam Elliott is irresistibly endearing. But the remake has more than one way of making its audience laugh . For example, the smash cut from Gyllenhaal dismantling an entire biker gang to him driving them to hospital. Arturo Castro is also a delight as a weedy gang member. Road House 's humor underlines the movie's fun tone.

3 Doug Liman's Direction Is More Ambitious

Liman has several action movies under his belt.

Liman produces plenty of creative touches which make the action feel even bigger. During Dalton's first fight with Knox at the Road House, Liman uses a POV shot to amplify the impact of Conor McGregor's ferocious blows.

Doug Liman has some serious action pedigree. His movies include The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Edge of Tomorrow. Road House is clearly the work of a confident director, with plenty of bold choices which heighten the intensity of the action. The original Road House, directed by Rowdy Herrington, doesn't stack up in terms of visual flair. Herrington lets the action speak for itself, which is extremely effective, but still pales in comparison to what some action movies are capable of.

Liman produces plenty of creative touches which make the action feel even bigger. During Dalton's first fight with Knox at the Road House, Liman uses a POV shot to amplify the impact of Conor McGregor's ferocious blows. He returns to this shot choice during Road House 's explosive ending , when Dalton once more seems as if he's on the brink of death. Liman also uses techniques which echo David Leitch or Guy Ritchie, as the camera moves in time with the fighters as if it's another participant in the brawl.

Jake Gyllenhaal Remembers Original Road House Star With Touching Tribute

2 the remake has bigger action scenes, road house isn't just about bar fights.

The remake of Road House has a much larger budget than the original, and this is reflected in its biggest action set pieces. The UFC fight and Knox's chaotic introduction to the Road House, with his golf club swinging away, are examples of how the remake takes its fights to the next level. The original is still a viscerally shocking depiction of violence, but the remake is bigger and louder, especially with the scenes that take place outside the bar.

Road House is most famous for its bar fights, but the original movie also features motorcycle chases, explosions and burning buildings. The remake steps things up with even more hard-hitting action. The climactic boat chase ends with Brandt being catapulted onto the roof of the bar, and then Knox rams a truck through the front doors. Aside from this carnage, Road House also features a car tumbling off a bridge and Dalton's car getting sideswiped by a train. All of these scenes contribute to the huge spectacle of the movie.

1 Jake Gyllenhaal Delivers A Superb Performance

Gyllenhaal gives the action thriller his total commitment.

Jake Gyllenhaal's remarkable physical transformation highlights how he dives into the role of Elwood Dalton. Gyllenhaal is in superhero shape in Road House, and he doesn't look out of place in a shirtless brawl with Conor McGregor. This may be the most immediately obvious example of Gyllenhaal's commitment to the role, but his entire performance is what helps carry the movie. Road House is primarily about adrenaline-fueled bar fights, sure, but it's also a portrait of a broken man learning to forgive himself.

Jake Gyllenhaal resembles Patrick Swayze's stoic demeanor in the original, but his backstory and the little touches of pathos make his Dalton a character who is easier to root for. Behind Dalton's eyes lies the ongoing tension between his darkest thoughts and his desire to simply help people and relax. Road House is unlikely to reach the same level of critical acclaim as films like Brokeback Mountain and Zodiac, but it could come to be seen as one of Jake Gyllenhaal's best movies , thanks largely to a performance that combines hair-raising action with emotional depth.

Ex-commando Heston Russell cleared of punching man during drunken Sydney pool party

Former elite soldier, who last year won a defamation case against the ABC, said he allowed himself to ‘become too intoxicated’ at 2022 event

Former soldier and Senate candidate Heston Russell has been cleared of punching another man during a drunken rooftop pool party.

Magistrate Margaret Quinn dismissed one charge of common assault against Russell at Sydney’s Downing Centre local court on Monday.

Inconsistencies in the accounts of the alleged victim and others at the party meant it was not possible to find beyond reasonable doubt that the alleged assault occurred, she said.

Russell and others attended the party in Sydney’s inner eastern suburbs on 2 January 2022 following a Yacht Social Club event on Sydney Harbour.

An argument during the party led to some “pushing and shoving” at a time when the ex-commando had already consumed half a bottle of tequila, the court heard previously.

Russell, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, said he had learned from the incident and was looking forward to putting it behind him.

“There’s a lot of personal lessons for me to take away in my own conduct,” he told reporters outside court.

“I allowed myself to become too intoxicated. There was a miscommunication at a party. I’m very sorry it came to this in the court.”

The 38-year-old, who now manages a veteran support charity, reported hearing somebody say “no one cares about you and your veteran mates killing yourself”.

He admitted to telling a group of men at the party words to the effect of, “if you keep coming at me, I’m going to throw you off the balcony”.

Russell denied throwing a punch and said his close proximity to the group would have prevented him from doing so.

His lawyer, Michael Bowe, told the court his client was an “elite individual” who had risen to the rank of major in the special forces and he understood how to control himself in stressful situations.

“I must say these are some of the best attributes of character that I’ve ever seen,” he said. “The man’s just an amazing individual.”

In October, a federal court judge ordered the ABC pay Russell more than $400,000 after finding he was defamed by a series of articles relating to alleged war crimes.

after newsletter promotion

Russell unsuccessfully ran for a Senate seat at the 2022 election for his Australian Values party.

Prosecutor Alex Borg argued Russell was so intoxicated at the party he could not remember what occurred and only found out about the alleged assault by reading about it in the newspaper the next day.

But Bowe said Russell could not remember an assault because none had occurred.

“He doesn’t remember a punch he didn’t throw,” Bowe said. “There was push and shove, there was this movement of arms around, but it wasn’t just from Mr Russell. It was from all of them.”

On the night of the party, Russell kissed a man, Nathan Johnston, whose boyfriend was also at the party, the court previously heard.

Russell told an earlier hearing he met the man at the daytime boat party and kissed him on one of the vessels, although Johnston said they only kissed at the later pool party.

The host, who appeared as a witness, said he vividly recalled Russell complaining that a group of guys were “having a go” at him at the party.

Alleged victim Steven Pate gave evidence that he felt a strike to his face, while Johnston’s boyfriend, Christopher Hicks, was the only witness who reported seeing the punch occur.
