'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 2 was shot completely on Parsifal III. Usually, the crew gets time off after a charter ends. They get off the yacht and travel to places nearby. This year it was different because the entire season was shot amid the pandemic and that meant the crew couldn't move an inch from where they were. Naturally, there was a lot of energy that had to be expended, and what better way than do it than by throwing a hot tub party, which got wild quickly.

In a preview clip, we see the team get down and dirty, alcohol overflowing and people getting wasted like there's no tomorrow. A happy picture of hardworking people having fun but the end will probably not serve well for anyone. Apparently, Gary King and Sydney Zaruba hooked up after they got drunk. You could tell everyone was a little happy woozy from all the drinking and smoking.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 2: Alli Dore, Gary King, and Dani Soares's three-way relationship to go South?



 

Sex was not surprising given the circumstances but why would they downplay it the next morning? Let's leave it to Gary and Sydney to explain their sides of the story because it's bound to get wild and out of control if the trailer for the season is anything to go by. Gary apparently adds Alli Dore to the mix and things get out of hand. From what we have seen so far, Sydney catches Gary and Alli kissing each other. But there's very little clarity on the timeline of events. Looks like we have to wait till some of the episodes play out before concluding who came on to whom.



 

But boatmances are tricky, very few of them work. Last season, chief stewardess Jenna MacGillivray and chef Adam Glick got into a relationship that only got sour with each passing day. First, they began to skip work to spend time with each other and when that didn't work things went South. The future of this three-way relationship looks pretty much the same but let's wait till the end. Hopefully, something will work out for them.
