Episode 9 Recap: Tensions Rise in Below Deck Down Under Season 3
The latest installment of *Below Deck Down Under*, Season 3, Episode 9, titled “Foam Sick,”aired on March 31, 2025, on Bravo. This episode escalated tensions amongst the crew, particularly between deckhand Wihan and department lead Lara, following a chaotic foam party.
Conflict Over Cleanliness Before Breakfast
As the crew prepared for breakfast service, Lara expressed her frustration regarding the lack of cleanliness in the dining area. She confronted Wihan, insisting that the deck should have been cleaned prior to the guests’ arrival. Instead of addressing her concerns constructively, Wihan voiced his dissatisfaction to Captain Jason, shifting blame onto fellow crew member Harry.
Fans Rally Against Wihan’s Behavior
The online fan community didn’t hold back in their criticism of Wihan’s actions. Many were quick to take to social media, highlighting his immature handling of the situation. One viewer articulated their disapproval on X:
“Wihan’s such a little child. He’s pulling the classic – get your story to Daddy Jason first. Lara was exactly correct. Don’t be up there cleaning the deck while the guests are sitting down to breakfast.”
Another fan passionately chimed in, stressing the importance of teamwork:
“It would’ve been nice if Johnny had help cleaning up all of that foam. Do not blame Harry or Johnny, Wihan. He needs to go home.”
Blame Game: Wihan Targets Harry
As viewers continued to observe the unfolding drama, Wihan’s tendency to deflect responsibility became a focal point of criticism. Fans were particularly upset that Wihan would shift blame onto Harry:
“WHY THE F*CK IS WIHAN THROWING HARRY UNDER THE BUS!”
Comments flooded in reflecting on Wihan’s insecurity:
“Wihan is threatened by Harry. He knows he’s f*cking up and Harry has his number AND could do a better job – but instead of fixing himself, he wants to claim Harry is a ‘wimp.’ Grow the f*ck up Wihan and do your f*cking job!”
Wihan’s Frustration and Talk with Captain Jason
The pressure mounted as the episode unfolded. The morning after the foam party, Johnny confessed to Wihan that he had forgotten to inform the team about the necessary clean-up duties. Although Harry promptly began tackling the mess, the breakfast area remained unprepared, leading to rising tensions among the crew.
Lara stepped in to greet the guests and expressed her dismay over the ongoing cleaning efforts, questioning Wihan’s leadership. In a heated exchange, she urged Wihan to take care of the situation promptly, while he blamed Johnny for leaving the deck unattended.
“I’m going to go to the captain right now about this,”Wihan declared.
Wihan approached Captain Jason to discuss the situation, indicating that he felt the need to manage the issue before it escalated further. In his report, he cited Harry as a primary reason for the oversight, insisting that the responsibilities should have been handled differently.
Fans Continue to Express Discontent
As social media buzzed with reactions, viewers remained critical of Wihan’s strategy of undermining his colleagues while seeking affirmation from Captain Jason. One fan raised eyebrows at his attitude:
“Wihan you’re a punk, so now you wanna tell her Harry isn’t right for her bc you’re hurt he told the truth about you to Captain Jason stop it.”
The drama continued to unfold as fans rallied behind Harry, expressing their disappointment in Wihan’s leadership style:
“Oh hellllll no! What we will not do is be the biggest DOUCHE and then talk sh*t about the sweetest human, Harry! Wihan is the worst!”
