Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans have sounded off on Gary King’s return for Season 5.
The trailer for the new season revealed Captain Glenn Shephard, Daisy Kelliher, and Gary are back.
Fans of the hit sailing show had a lot of thoughts on the Season 5 trailer, especially Gary being in the mix.
Last summer, Gary was accused of sexual misconduct by a production team member after he had already filmed Season 5.
Many believe the scandal was the reason for Below Deck Sailing Yacht being pushed back from spring to fall.
Now that Gary’s still on the show, fans have taken to the comments section of the official Below Deck Instagram page to speak their minds.

There were so many remarks slamming the fact that Gary was still on the show after all the allegations against him.

A different one was shocked Gary returned, while a separate comment wished to see Daisy without Gary on the show.
Several more comments reiterated the unhappiness that Gary returns, with mentions of his bad behavior and assault allegations.
“I wish Colin was back notGary!!!” wrote a critic.
Others declared they wouldn’t be watching with Gary on-screen, and more were confused about how he could be back considering the scandal.
“So Daisy and Gary will get fired after 2 episodes and then it will be less of a s**t show season?” read a comment with another saying.
There was even a remark that insisted the user will watch other Below Deck shows and the next season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht as long as Gary isn’t on.
