Below Deck Down Under<\/em><\/a>\u2018s Ellie Dubaich<\/strong> and Jenna Woudberg<\/strong> were not on the same page about who had a higher rank on the boat.<\/p>\n

During the Monday, April 6, episode of the hit Bravo series, Daisy Kelliher<\/strong> asked Ellie to switch places with Jenna while greeting guests based on their different positions. Jenna thought her role as a second stew made her more senior than Ellie, who was a galley hand.<\/p>\n

Ellie, however, later referred to herself<\/a> as a \u201csous chef.\u201d Chef Ben Robinson<\/strong> explained in a confessional that sous chef isn\u2019t an accurate description of Ellie\u2019s role, adding that he previously gave her the unofficial title of \u201cchef assistant\u201d \u2014 but the title of galley hand made the most sense.<\/p>\n

While the issue wasn\u2019t resolved, Below Deck<\/em> fans know that the drama continued once filming wrapped. Ellie and Jenna went back and forth about where they fit in on the boat before the galley hand broke her silence on the offscreen feud.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tViewers have had a front row seat to some of the biggest reality TV feuds since the Below Deck franchise debuted. The show\u2019s spinoff series Below Deck Mediterranean shocked viewers when Hannah Ferrier and Captain Sandy Yawn\u2018s inability to see eye to eye turned into the most memorable firing to date. Since the captain joined [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI was surprised because I didn\u2019t mean to offend anybody. I was simply sharing what happened when I got the call after [stew] Joe [Caron] left,\u201d Ellie exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> in March.<\/p>\n

Ellie joined season 4 of Below Deck Down Under<\/em> after some reconfiguration<\/a> led to a stew position no longer being available but a spot in the kitchen opening up. After coming aboard the boat, Ellie agreed to make the move to the galley instead of interior, which caused backlash when Daisy and Jenna defended the assumption that someone\u2019s job would have been at risk if Ellie hadn\u2019t agreed to the swap.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was on my way to being a second stew because Captain Jason [Chambers] wanted to have the most experienced leadership team. I started working at sea when Jenna was in third grade in 2016. That\u2019s not a dig. That\u2019s a simple fact,\u201d Ellie told Us<\/em>. \u201cIt did make sense that Captain Jason would want me to be in a leadership position. [When he] asked me to change, I was happy to change. That\u2019s all I was saying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Below Deck franchise has had its fair share of chaos over the years, but there were some moments that stood out more. During season 7 of the Bravo show, chief stew Kate Chastain and bosun Ashton Pienaar had a scary confrontation when the latter was drunk after a night out. Ashton ended up punching [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She continued, \u201cI was happy that things worked out the way they did. But the way Jenna and Daisy responded was mean-spirited. It was unnecessary, and I was taken aback. So I think it\u2019s going to be a little bit indicative of how the two of them approached me this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellie called Daisy\u2019s reaction a \u201cone-sided\u201d issue.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt started this season, and we\u2019ll see that evolve,\u201d she teased. \u201cBut I don\u2019t really have an issue with Daisy. She doesn\u2019t like me. She doesn\u2019t seem to like me for whatever reason. We\u2019ll see how that happens. But I don\u2019t really have an issue with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
