‘Below Deck’ Kate Chastain & Ben Robinson Get Cozy On The Couch

Below Deck alums Kate Chastain and Ben Robinson are back together. The two are cozying up on the couch and talking about the latest season of Below Deck Mediterranean. They will join other fan favorites from the previous season in the new season of Below Deck Mediterranean Galley Talk.

On Tuesday, July 27, Bravo took to social media to make the surprise announcement. Fans have been wondering if Galley Talk will make a comeback. They’re looking forward to seeing how their favorite crew members will react to the crazy new season. Fans are especially interested in seeing their reaction to some of the drama that’s already playing out.

Kate Chastain, Ben Robinson return to Galley Talk

These Below Deck alumni are making a comeback. Bravo made no secret about it on social media. The network took to Instagram and Twitter to make the surprise announcement. Chef Ben Robinson was on Seasons 1 to 4 of Below Deck and Seasons and 4 of Below Deck Mediterranean. Meanwhile, Kate Chastain appeared on Below Deck Seasons 2 to 7.

In February 2020, she announced her departure from the series. Kate quit the yachting life and has not looked back. Ben prefers cooking on land rather than at sea. He seemed a little frazzled getting back on a yacht on Season 4 of Below Deck Med.

Fans loved seeing the two interact on the show. They noticed the chemistry between them, especially during Season 2 of Below Deck. Ben and Kate are reuniting and getting cozy on the couch, but it’s not what you think. They will react as they watch the craziest moments from Season 6 of Below Deck Med.

The pair will be joined by Colin Macy-O’Toole and Bobby Giancola, friends Anastasia Surmava and Alex Radcliffe, and Josiah Carter and Julia d’Albert Pusey. They all look on in horror as they watch the drama on Season 6 of Below Deck Med. The first episode will focus on Episode 605. Ben will share what he thinks of Chef Mathew Shea, while Alex calls deckhand David Pascoe “a cheeky motherf***er.”

Below Deck fans react to the news

The Below Deck Mediterranean Galley Talk cast will have a lot to talk about. Fans are looking forward to what they think about some of the wildest moments so far. Some of the cast members will also catch up and share an update on their post-Below Deck lives. Fans flocked to Bravo’s Twitter post to share their thoughts on the announcement.

• “Can I request a show where Kate and Ben watch EVERYTHING together? Why waste them on just Below Deck???”
• “I’ll be so happy to have [Kate Chastain] and [Ben Robinson] back on my screen!”
• “Nice!! I just rewound the last 8 min of the last episode about 3 times to watch that all go down. Was wild.”
• “I love [Kate Chastain] so much. Who else would use a Stuard Smiley quote in her commentary.”

Needless to say, fans are excited. Galley Talk saw high ratings during its first season. It also helped give Below Deck Med Season 5 a boost in ratings. Below Deck Med airs Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
