Of Course Rocky Had to Make The ‘Below Deck’ Reunion Awkward AF – Decider

The Below Deck 100th episode celebration on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen was fun and cheerful and exciting for the majority of the hour-long episode. Everybody from Seasons 1-6 looked great and happy and kept things positive in their memories of the show and current life updates. In fact, the only time things got a little rocky was when, well, Rocky showed up.

Season 3s polarizing third stew Rocky Dakota looked great and seemed nice and refreshed after her flight in from Hawaii where shes currently a yoga teacher. She even offered her former chief stew a fist bump at one point! But after Kate Chastain dropped one minor comment (really, a fact), Rockys face and energy changed and she demanded answers.

When Andy asked if Rocky has a favorite and least favorite moment from her season of the show, Kate offered, Jumping off the boat was iconic. Youre a legend. And while the two infamously did not get along so great on the show, this seemed like a nice bridge, a hopeful sign for the future.

But Kate continued, Youre not the best yachtie but you are so entertaining and so talented. I could never dive like you, I could never swim like you, youre so talented. Now, to anyone unfamiliar with this particular season of the show, this seems like a lovely compliment and it is. But to those that watched, well, we know Rocky and we know better.

And so instead of taking the compliment and letting the first part of the statement (again, a fact) go, Rocky suddenly got serious and replied, And how come you say Im not the best yachtie? Well Rocky, perhaps its because Kate lived through it, tried her best to work with you, and then watched it all over again on TV as a double confirmation that you werent so great at the job. Maybe thats why?

But instead, Kate answered, Because you jumped off the boat in your underwear. Do you like it? Are you still doing it? You could be, I dont know. At the time you didnt seem to love it, she said of Rockys relationship with yachting.

But as Rocky explained, Well I went to culinary school and I thought I was gonna be the sous chef, and then I was the third-ranking stew, the lowest ranking cleaning lady. I never cleaned a yacht in my life.

I just think youre really talented, Kate repeated, doing her best to put a civil end to a nonsense discussion.

You just said I was really talented but then you just said that I was not a good yachtie, Rocky continued, because of course she did.

At this point, Captain Lee leaned over to Andy and said, Its like deja vu all over again.

This really took a turn I did not expect, Kate stated.

Well when you say something negative then I just want to know where its coming from, Rocky pushed.

From when you jumped off the boat in your underwear, Kate replied calmly, letting her unimpressed facial expressions reveal how she truly felt.

Well, my underwears bigger than my bikini! And I thought I was gonna quit, was Rockys response to it all.

Ever the professional in the situation, Kate gave her a Thats a very valid point, and Andy moved the conversation along. Now Kate can now go back to the regularly scheduled programming of defending herself against the misogynistic d-bags on the current season of the Bravo series.

Below Deck airs Monday at 9pm ET/PT on Bravo.
