Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Emma Crouch was just fired, and now she seems to be implying the producers of the Bravo spin-off gave her a bad edit. Emma only lasted eight episodes duringBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 5before her poor performance as a deckhand finally ended her Bravo career. Throughout her short run on the reality show,Emma had come under fire from Gary Kingafter he had to repeatedly teach her basic tasks that deckhands should know. In recent episodes,the First Officer relayed his concerns to Captain Glenn Shephard, who finally had enough.
Emma Crouch’s recent Instagram activity made it clear she thinksBelow Deck Sailing Yachtgave her a bad edit.
The day after her finalBelow Deck Sailing Yachtepisode aired, which saw her go missing during an emergency,Emmatook to Instagram to reflect on her wild reality TV ride. At one point,she admitted that her “full outburst” at Gary wasn’t shown on air. However, the comments section of her post is where the real tea was served.
A fan named@Walpodwrote a very long message accusing Bravo of “unfairly” editing her storyline and went as far as claiming “the producers had this story line before it even played out!” The social media user noticed that Emma felt the tension, “but maybe producers don’t let you or direct you how to act.” While Emma did not respond to the fan’s comment,she did like the message, insinuating that she agreed with the sentiment that the producers gave her a bad edit.

After all,there were numerous scenes throughoutSailing Yachtseason 5 in which Gary and other cast members kept having to instruct Emma on how to do her job. The fan that left the Instagram comment claimed her co-workers weren’t communicating with her and weren’t talking to her about the issues she caused. However, that’s just not true.

Our Take On Emma Crouch’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht Performance
Emma Isn’t Cut Out To Be A Deckhand
The issues surrounding Emma weren’t a matter of the otherSailing Yachtcast members refusing to talk to her or letting the drama escalate. Even after Gary and others kept repeating their instructions,Emma still could not grasp the basics. To be fair, that’s not necessarily her fault.
