Below Deck has involved producer plants over the years, most recently Below Deck Mediterranean, but should the franchise continue the practice? Chef Johnathan “Jono” Shillingford and Bri Muller are the latest cast members to be accused of being producer plants on Below Deck Mediterranean because of their continued incompetency. However, they’re not the only producer plants to appear in the show. For example, Raquel “Rocky” Dakota was a wildly unpredictable stew on Below Deck season 3, and Ashton Pienaar nearly got himself killed on Below Deck season 7.
