So I first got introduced to Below Deck with BDSY and I loved every season of it. (Cpt Glenn is hilarious I love him) but in that show they seem to have one engineer that was part of the cast. This current season is the first time I’m watching BDDU (started watching for Daisy) and it seems like they have a whole engineer crew off camera? Where do these guys stay? At the bottom of the boat? Are they locked in there little engine rooms and only let out when it’s feeding time? Are they already hired for the Katina prior to filming or are they hired by production? Im so confused lol
