Ashton is having a hard time finding a place in people's hearts this season and it looks like today's episode is of no help to him either. In today's episode, Ashton was asked to model with Justine and Molly, two guests on the boat, and without thinking about it, Ashton decided to jump on board. 

While he seemed nervous at first, he felt happy to be taking pictures with two beautiful women. In the previous episode, Ashton had hinted that he had some feelings for Molly as he felt attracted to her but decided to draw a line because of his status on the boat. However, the photoshoot just got him closer to her. 

While Ashton seemed to enjoy the modeling time that he was offered, fans were not happy to see how he was behaving. Many thought that it was unprofessional of him to agree to model because he was one of the leaders on the boat. Many took to social media to express their disappointment in his behavior. 

"Ashton's comment on how models are the type of woman he could 'actually see himself with' tells us exactly what kind of person he is," wrote one user.

Another added, "I love how Ashton thinks the models are the type of girl that he would be within real life, yet he’s still going out after every charter & still hasn't found one person who will even make out with him — even when he tried to force it like he did with Kate. Twice."

In the past, Ashton was slammed for hooking up with another guest on the board. People were unhappy to see that he had crossed his professional boundary and hooked up with a model.

Looking at how Ashton has behaved in the past, some fans were not surprised by how he jumped in when the idea of modeling with two women was put forward to him. 

Despite this, many people are hoping that Ashton is checked by Captain Lee but only time will tell what is in store for him. 

'Below Deck' airs on Mondays at 9 pm ET on Bravo.
