Fans were astonished to see a grown man crying on national television over a woman he's only known for about 12 hours

With Lara Flumiani leaving after a showdown with Hannah Ferrier, the course on 'Below Deck Mediterranean' has changed. She quit an hour before the second group of charter guests was scheduled to arrive. Captain Sandy Yawn made an effort to bring them to work together in harmony, but taking orders from Hannah probably got too much for her. 

While all of this went down, deckhands Pete Hunziker and Alex Radcliffe were having a tough time trying to figure out what Lara's name was. For the first few days, they had thought she was Lana. Sure, it's easy to get emotional for people when they are yachting non-stop. But, in this case, fans thought it was more like a fleeting rush of emotions that stemmed from a need to get physically close with someone. Pete tried to forge a friendship with Lara but his efforts were thwarted by her sudden decision to quit the crew. Lara was in such a hurry to leave that she didn't pack most of her things, which the rest of the team members did for her on Sandy's instructions. And while at it, Pete quietly slipped his card in her suitcase. 

Minutes later, they hugged each other and left. Since then, Pete was seen sobbing and sniffing around the deck, which Alex found hilarious because it had been 12 hours since he knew her, or at least her name. Meanwhile, fans think he only wanted to hook-up with her and implied that there were no real emotions involved.

"Pete crying is so pathetic.... he was calling lara lana like boy come the f**k on #BelowDeckMed," a fan commented, while another shared: "Pete Hunziker crying over the most horrible rude person in #BelowDeckMed history = Lara Flumiani... after barely knowing her for 12 hours is. Save your tears & get your hormones checked, Pete." Another said, "LMFAO right now watching Pete moping around sniffling and sobbing into a pillow because useless Lara left. Get a grip... you're on national tv acting like a child. Step up and do the job Malia trusted you with... jeez #BelowDeckMed." One more tweeted, "Pete isn’t crying because he’s going to miss Lara, he’s crying because he doesn’t get to bang her."
