Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Signs Cloyse Martin Is A Producer Plant

Chef and star of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Cloyse Martin, has already proven an intriguing addition to the season’s cast, which means he may be a producer plant. Although Cloyse is only 22, his extensive culinary and reality TV experience indicates a driven and adaptable disposition. Unfortunately, not all cast members agree regarding his culinary and television personality prowess, with several stars questioning why he was brought onto Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5.

Cloyse was first featured in Man vs. Child: Chef Showdown, a culinary competition pitting seasoned chefs against child prodigies. Cloyse was then brought back for another season. Subsequently, Rachel Ray fans found him competing in Cook Your Way to Culinary School, a show Rachel hosted in which the victorious chef was rewarded with a $25,000 scholarship. With Cloyse's seemingly impeccable track record, some wonder if he's a producer plant, brought on for entertainment purposes and not for the sake of the charter season.

Cloyse Might Get Fired

He Is Already Making Mistakes

Cloyse had a rocky start. By the first episode of the season, he had made several mistakes during the dinner service. Cloyse told the chief stewardess, Daisy Kelliher that he was capable of preparing individual orders, but his inability to handle the guest’s specific requests proved otherwise. With Cloyse seemingly overwhelmed with the task, he had prepared the wrong number of lobster dishes and overcooked a guest’s steak. As a chef with years of culinary experience, both on and off-screen, this shocked the crew.

Cloyse’s ultimate dismissal would not surprise fans as it would somewhat prove he is a producer plant.

Daisy, having initially doubted him due to his youth, expressed her frustration, leading to a blowout fight. Captain Glenn Shephard shared this sentiment by stating “If tonight is any indication of Cloyce and Daisy's inter-departmental relationship, what I'm seeing now has got me worried." With Captain Glenn Shephard disappointed with the dinner and weary of the dynamics between the coworkers, Cloyse’s ultimate dismissal would not be a surprise.

Cloyse and Daisy Fought The First Night

Following the dinner fiasco, fans watched Cloyse and Daisy engage in a heated argument. Daisy, who had reservations regarding Cloyse before his mistakes, took the opportunity to chastise the newest chef. Cloyse, confident of his abilities, stood up for himself. While his early errors were detrimental to the charter, he may have had an off night. Daisy’s harsh criticisms feel unwarranted since the chef requested Daisy “not take specific orders.”

Daisy commented on this oversight, with the stewardess admitting she “felt really bad.” During the premiere, fans watched as Cloyse shared his only request, which was to not let guests order their own meals. With Daisy forgetting the request, and Cloyse claiming he could handle it, the mistakes were seemingly collaborative. Daisy, while regretful of her actions, does not believe this excuses his blunders. Cloyse already starting drama with one of the crew members is a hint he could be a secret producer plant.

As the altercation proves, Cloyse is confident and willing to stand up for himself. By acknowledging his years of experience and maturity, he won’t let the chief stew tarnish his reputation. While this personality trait makes for an assertive and entertaining reality TV star, more disputes seem inevitable. Based on his performance, and interactions with his costar, Cloyse may do more harm than good this season.

Cloyse seems like a talented and diligent chef. While his mistakes don’t define him, they have driven a wedge between him and his coworkers. With Cloyse’s pension for drama emerging early in the series, it seems likely producersadded him to the season to cause a stir. Only time will tell if Cloyse can establish himself as an integral crew member on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
