'Below Deck Down Under' Drama Erupts as Mike Durrant Clashes With Daisy Kelliher (Exclusive)

Deck/Stew Mike Durrant is pushing his luck on Below Deck Down Under when he tries to stir the pot, determined to throw stew Alesia Harris under the bus.

In a clip from tonight's episode, shared exclusively with Parade, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher calls out the "selfishness" among some of the crew members who claim they work harder than others. "I've seen people bickering in front of other crew," Daisy says. "It's been actually relentless, and the crux of it's been quite a lot of selfish behavior." Daisy adds that the crew should be leaning on teamwork and that the behavior has to stop.

Second Officer João Franco suggests the crew respect one another, with the heads of department thinking their remarks were enough to squash the squabbling. Unfortunately, their talk may have sparked new negative comments, as Mike snarks that Alesia has "really stepped up a lot."

Daisy immediately intervenes, telling Mike his comment isn't funny, while Alesia quietly tells Daisy she doesn't think she works harder than anyone. When Daisy tells Alesia she doesn't think Mike's comment was directed at her, Mike can't help but add, "Nice to presume, though. I think some people just need to relax."

At this point, Daisy has had enough. "Do that again, Mike, and I swear there will be a consequence." Now Alesia is tense, saying she needs to stay away from Mike.

"Is this real life?" Daisy wonders, exasperated in a confessional. "I'm talking to you about respect, and you're disrespecting me in the conversation of respect! Sorry... no...not how it works."

But now Mike claims he's "being attacked," adding, "So I'm going to react to it, do you know what I mean?"

Daisy asks Mike what he thinks the solution is, but he snipes, "I don't know, I'm not the boss."

"So you're going to put this back on me?" Daisy challenges him. "You're going to tell me I have to sort-" But Mike interrupts her, insisting he doesn't want to bicker with other people.

Now Daisy is getting even more irritated that Mike has put dealing with his behavior back on her. João steps in, telling Mike, "Please, don't get defensive-" Again, Mike interrupts his superior, saying, "It's my duty to tell you about a problem...it's for you to deal with it."

Clearly, Captain Jason Chambers ends up dealing with a crew issue because in the mid-season trailer, he sends one yachtie packing. Will it be Mike after he continues to push back against his chiefs? Stay tuned.

Below Deck Down Under airs Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
