‘Below Deck’ Rayna Lindsey SLAMS Boring Reunion Special

Below Deck Season 9 crew member Rayna Lindsay slammed the upcoming reunion special. Fans want to know if the crew members will gather together to discuss the events of the current season. The show usually includes a reunion special. It’s been common since the show’s inception.

The final charter is underway on the My Seanna for Season 9. This season was filled with difficult charter guests, love triangles, dramatic nights out, and tension among the crew members. Most of them will look forward to leaving the superyacht and never looking back.

Will there be a reunion for Below Deck Season 9?

There have been some cases where a reunion didn’t take place on Below Deck. However, there will be a crew member gathering for Season 9. Per Distractify, deckhand Rayna Lindsay took to Instagram to confirm that the crew filmed a reunion special on Sunday, January 16. It’s unclear whether all of the crew members showed up.

For example, third stew Jessica Albert quit mid-season. She abruptly left before the next charter happened. It would be awkward for her to film the reunion since she left on a bad note. On the other hand, this could give her a chance to share her side of the story.

Her replacement, Kaylee Milligan, was only part of the crew for one-and-a-half charters. So, she won’t have much to contribute to the reunion. Still, there’s a lot to talk about in regards to the drama that took place. For instance, chief stew Heather Chase said the n-word several times during the crew night.

Fans are dying to know what she’s going to say during the reunion special. Will they answer the hard questions? For example, would Captain Lee Rosbach fire Heather on the spot? Will she come back to the show? Why didn’t they take the issue seriously enough the first time around?

Rayna Lindsay throws shade after filming the reunion

Rayna has been open about her experience on Below Deck. She recently took to her Instagram Stories to share her thoughts on the reunion. She also promised fans that she would answer “every Below Deck question” in an upcoming tell-all interview. It’s not clear whether this interview will take place on Bravo or another platform.

She also slammed the boring reunion. Rayna wrote it was “nothing and only lasted like an hour.” It sounds like the drama regarding Heather wasn’t addressed enough. So, she plans to share everything that wasn’t mentioned on the show.

“They didn’t want nothing to be really exposed on the reunion so I’ll talk about how they want [Eddie Lucas] to do a take over for Captain [Lee Rosbach],” Rayna teased. “I’ll talk about everything they don’t want us to talk about.”

She also outed executive producer Lauren Simms for lying to her about Eddie taking over for Captain Lee at some point. She claims that Lauren tried to “save” him to “ensure the Passover happens.” Rayna promises to expose the Below Deck producers “to help and warn other minorities to not come on the show.” She has nothing to lose since she wants nothing to do with the reality series.

“I know if I die today I know my stance with God,” she concluded. “I know my soul and who I am and I’m proud of that. I don’t even know how these Mf’s sleep peacefully. That’s crazy and scary to be real.”

What are your thoughts on what Rayna said about the reunion special? Do you plan to tune in anyway? Sound off below in the comment section. The Below Deck Season 9 finale airs Monday, January 31 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
