‘Below Deck Med’ Season 6 Less Drinking – What About The Lazy Susan?!

Below Deck Med Season 6 might have fewer drunken antics. However, it didn’t look that way in the trailer. Most of the crew members have a drunken good time. Most of them fall down, twerk, grind and ride a Lazy Susan.

According to a former castmate, that seems to be the case. Deckhand Alex Radcliffe drank too much during Season 5. He got so drunk during his crew interview that production had to stop filming and set drinking limits from there on. Alex talked about his experience on the Alternate Reality podcast.

Alex Radcliffe: Producers stopped me from drinking!

The former Below Deck Med star told Anastasia Surmava that he drank three bottles of wine during his crew interview. He drank so much that he couldn’t speak. Producers stopped filming. Then they set drinking limits for Alex and his crewmates.

However, Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 star Colin Macrae claims a different story. He said that he was encouraged to drink so he could gossip about the crew. They wanted him to share more information. The 10 beers he had made him extremely chatty.

Alex said that the first time he was drunk was when he joined Christine “Bugsy” Drake in the hot tub. He was nervous around her, so he drank. She also had too much to drink and randomly blurted, “It’s so cold in here.” Alex called it a “funny moment on national television.”

Below Deck Med Season 6 features the infamous Lazy Susan

Despite Alex’s claims, drunken antics will ensue on Below Deck Med Season 6. Courtney Veale talked about downing tequila, twerking, and the Lazy Susan. In one scene during the trailer, she teaches Captain Sandy Yawn how to twerk. In an interview with Decider, she joked that she’s not ready to see herself twerk on national TV.

At another point in the trailer, fans see the crew members taking the Lazy Susan for a ride. Courtney admitted that it was her idea. She then added that she felt bad for the Lazy Susan. The bubbly stew has a feeling that everyone is going to want one after watching this scene unfold.

“I honestly think Lazy Susans are gonna go off the shelves when this comes out,” she joked. “Men everywhere are gonna be buying them for bachelor parties. It went from 0 to 100 very quickly as you’ll see. Things get flown everywhere, there’s water involved, there are drinks, and we were trying to keep it PG.”

Of course, that’s hard when everyone’s drunk. Courtney also opened up about Mzi “Zee” Dempers’ crush on her. Courtney revealed their boatmance developed after too much tequila got involved. She claims she didn’t know about his crush on her until she saw the clips online. The yachtie assumed he was only joking, but everyone will see the drama unfold this season.

Below Deck Med airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
