The relationship between Below Deck season 10 stars Katie Glaser and Ross McHarg has been one of the season’s talking points. Despite their public romance, Ross continually disrespects Katie by openly flirting and kissing stew Alissa Humber. Although the two didn’t define their relationship for a long time, everyone knew about their boatmance since the beginning of the season. Still, many viewers have found it hard to watch Katie’s forced love triangle with Ross and Alissa.
Although Katie has threatened to leave the relationship many times, she still finds herself giving Ross another chance. Even after Ross and Alissa flirted with each other in front of Katie, she still took him back. Katie’s pitiful decisions made some fans call on her to gain self-respect and leave the relationship. However, she did the opposite by agreeing to make their romance official. The decision came after the two finally got some time to talk alone after their St Lucia charter ended. Later, during a confessional, Ross confirmed they had made their romance official. He said:
“I’ve made an active decision with Katie, that she and I are going to be just her and I. With all this love in the air, there’s a good chance I might be getting laid tonight.”
Most of the show’s fans are still unconvinced about Ross’ motives for being in a relationship with Katie and would like her to reconsider her decision. Below Deck, fans feel Ross’ only focus is sex and believes getting into a relationship with Katie is only to guarantee him as much sex as he wants. The fans believe there were red flags in the relationship from the start, and Katie could have saved herself some embarrassment.
Below Deck Fans Believe Katie Can Do Better Than Ross
With Ross and Katie making their relationship official, fans started talking about the two again. One of the show’s viewers took the conversation to Reddit and started a thread tagged “Katie looks stupid.” Most fans didn’t hold back as they ruthlessly tore into Ross, describing him as a “fuck boy who paws at every woman he sees.” The users also slammed him for his drinking behavior and claimed he was repulsive. One Redditor u/Lilacpenny said:
“He’s seriously repulsive. Like I don’t see a single redeeming quality in him. He looks like he just reeks of day-old beer, cigarettes, and Doritos.”
Many fans felt Katie deserves better than Ross but agreed she lacks the self-awareness to know that herself. They revealed she might need therapy to help her discover her self-worth. While many fans continued to express their disdain for Ross, another section saw Katie as a problem to herself. The fans noted how she always says she has learned from previous heartbreaks, yet she still puts herself in the same unhealthy situations.
Viewers feel she desperately tries to force a positive outcome from her romance with Ross. However, many Redditors feel nothing good can come out of the affair because Ross is only in it to get laid. Fans are trying so hard to “save” Katie from herself. Unfortunately, she seems blinded by her feelings for Ross and might need a rude awakening to see what everybody else sees.
