Culture critic Teri Hart discusses the controversy surrounding a recent episode of Below Deck Down Under and what it might say about where the line between reality show and real life sits in 2023.
: It's so interesting because … it sort of, up until that moment, did track with the usual tone of this series. But suddenly, them breaking that wall just changed everything. I wonder if you think this is an inflection point, and it will change how the show continues?: Well, it's really not normal for us to see producers in this way; producers are very much behind the scenes. These shows are about people behaving badly, essentially; that's what a lot of us watch for.
“I didn’t even know” 💔 This goes beyond the show, i’m glad production stepped in. Captain Jason handled everything with class and respect. But damn. #BelowDeck pic.twitter.com/Y1XnDGtQAY: Part of the producer's job, as you mentioned, is to make sure shows like this are spicy and provocative.… Do you think the show made the right decision airing the episode at all? Because it was very triggering and it may have caused harm in airing this.: I think two things can be true here at once.
Laura did lose her job [because of her reaction to the situation and her own inappropriate behavior towards a male crew member], so I want to mention that in terms of what the show did right. But I don't love how the producers are being hailed as heroes here. I mean, yeah, they stopped a potential crime, but it should have never gone as far as it did. They have cameras on these people all the time. They let this go this far.
