GRENADA, CARIBBEAN: Dylan Pierre De Villiers, the latest addition to the deckhand crew in Season 11 of the beloved reality TV show 'Below Deck,' recently surprised viewers by making a noteworthy cameo appearance on another hit series, 'Vanderpump Rules.'

In the latest episode of 'Vanderpump Rules,' which aired on Monday, March 26, an intense confrontation erupted between Brock Davies and Katie Maloney. The heated exchange was ignited by the revelation that Katie had been involved in a physical relationship with none other than Max Boyens, a close confidant of her husband Tom Schwartz.

The atmosphere became increasingly uncomfortable as this awkward confrontation unfolded, with Katie finding herself seated adjacent to Dylan Pierre De Villiers, the newest deckhand on Bravo's popular reality show 'Below Deck.' It's worth noting that Dylan had just made his highly anticipated debut on the show the previous evening, on Monday, March 25.

However, it seems that fans of the show were not particularly fond of his appearance on Bravo's television program, as they took to various social media platforms to voice their discontent and share their opinions regarding the matter.

A Reddit user said, "I just wanna know why he was on VPR lol." Another user added, "Paid extra." Followed by a user who wrote, "I'm more disturbed by him being in this week's Vanderpump Rules. Is he in a pool of actors Bravo look to place in "reality" shows?

A user went on to say, "It’s becoming clearer and clearer how orchestrated and constructed Bravo has become. As soon as Dylan came on the screen I knew he was an actor, the energy was way too ~summer camp drama classes~ VPR and Below Deck are the worst perps for it - this seasons paid actors on VPR being the “nanny” who’s gonna have a “love triangle” with schwartz and Katie, and clearly Ann the assistant." One comment read, "I liked Dylan until he opened his mouth."
