Below Deck has one of the most interesting formats on reality TV, as it can be open to any type of reality TV star to come aboard a superyacht for a charter, but some stars would be more interesting than others. Over the years, the Below Deck format has been praised for its ease and familiarity, while also finding ways to be different from episode to episode. While charter guests are the focus of the crew, the crew itself is the typical focus of the show, giving viewers a backstage to one of the most luxurious, difficult career paths.

With Below Deck sharing network airspace with some of the most iconic reality TV shows of all time, it's not surprising to find some Bravo stars on the show from time to time, and some NBCUniversal stars ing their own charters as well. While the majority of the charter guests featured on Below Deck aren't reality TV stars, when they do come to visit during the charter season, it's always a memorable time. Despite some of the most difficult charters happening while reality TV stars are aboard, Below Deck crews can usually handle whatever these big personalities throw at them.

8 Nick Viall

The Bachelor

Although it's been a long time since Nick was on reality TV in his own right, he's still one of the most memorable figures The Bachelor franchise has ever seen. Appearing on The Bachelorette season 10 and season 11, Nick had his heart broken on the show despite becoming a franchise villain quickly on his first season. While Nick wasn't someone the other guys liked on the show, he was clear that he'd come to the experience looking for love and wasn't going to let petty drama get in his way. Becoming the next Bachelor, Nick took center stage.

Despite not finding lasting love on The Bachelor, Nick quickly became a popular figure in the media when he started his own reality TV podcast, Viall Files. Co-hosting with his wife Natalie Joy, Nick is one of the premiere reality TV podcasts in the industry. With so much intel and personal experience, Nick would know how to make an episode of Below Deck iconic.

7 Samantha Riehl

Farmer Wants A Wife

Farmer Wants A Wife season 3's Samantha Riehl would be a fantastic addition to Below Deck as a charter guest, bringing the perfect blend of glamour and drama. While she's a newer addition to the reality TV community, Samantha's already made an impact. Known for her confident on-screen presence and unapologetic nature, Samantha's short time on Farmer Wants A Wife made it clear she's a great entertainer. Samantha proved isn’t afraid to speak her mind or stir the pot on the show, which would make for an interesting charter guest.

It's clear from her social media persona that Samantha also appreciates luxury and knows how to enjoy herself, which aligns perfectly with the high-end, indulgent atmosphere of Below Deck. While she's become more of a villain for Farmer Wants A Wife fans after choosing to leave the series, she would be fun to watch on a new show where she can show off a different side of her personality. Samantha could be an iconic future charter guest.

6 Gabby Windey

The Bachelorette, DWTS, & The Traitors

Although Gabby Windey's time in The Bachelor franchise wasn't successful at finding her lasting love, everything in her life has changed after being part of the show. After The Bachelor, Gabby went on to co-lead when she met Robby Hoffman.

Gabby's sharp wit and dry sense of humor quickly became something that resonated with viewers, and when she introduced her new partner Robby to the world, she solidified her status as an icon. After appearing on the most recent season of The Traitors, where she won alongside Dylan Efron, Gabby found even more fame and attention. With her sense of humor and attitude always making waves, Gabby would be fun to see on a Below Deck charter.

5 Jasmine Pineda

90 Day Fiancé

As a standout star from the 90 Day Fiancé universe, Jasmine Pineda has captivated viewers with her spicy personality and emotional vulnerability, making for some unforgettable moments that would translate well to Below Deck. Jasmine's journey within the franchise has been interesting, as she was introduced alongside her partner Gino Palazzolo. The couple's relationship hasn't been easy, and her evolution from being more suspicious and high maintenance to a more emotionally open and stable partner has been fulfilling for viewers. Seeing her get everything she's ever wanted, Jasmine getting to relax on a Below Deck charter would be iconic.

While Jasmine's time on 90 Day Fiancé has sometimes discouraged her from being a more high maintenance and bold person, appearing on Below Deck would allow her to lean into those parts of her personality. Jasmine thrives in luxury and enjoys being pampered, so seeing her on a show that indulges in those things could be a lot of fun. Jasmine's flair for the dramatic combined with her ability to open up could lead to reality TV gold.

4 Paige DeSorbo

Summer House

As a Bravo star, Summer House's Paige DeSorbo is probably the most likely person to show up on a Below Deck superyacht. While Paige, who's going through a transformational time after her breakup with Craig Conover, has been a fixture on Summer House for years, but she's often far busier than the typical Below Deck superyacht guest. First appearing on Summer House season 3, Paige made a name for herself by being unabashedly authentic, allowing her personality to shine through no matter the situation.

As a potential Below Deck superyacht guest, Paige seems like she'd be an exciting piece of the puzzle. With a podcast, a business, and appearances on the show, Paige likely doesn't have the opportunity to relax as frequently as she wants, which could be great for Below Deck. While some may not be interested in seeing more Paige, she's someone I'd love to see as a part of a charter season.

3 Joey Graziadei

The Bachelor & Dancing With The Stars

Star of Dancing With The Stars season 33, and his reality TV career is just beginning.

As Joey and his fiancé Kelsey work through their wedding plans, finding themselves part of the Below Deck franchise could be a fun way to release the pressure. While Joey and Kelsey have done well to mitigate the backlash against their relationship, showing up for a fun charter on Below Deck could be an exciting way to show off their relationship in a new light. Joey himself would be a fun guest no matter the circumstances.

2 Janelle Brown

Sister Wives

As one of Kody Brown's original wives on Sister Wives, Janelle Brown has become one of the more fascinating of the family in recent years. While Janelle, who was married to Kody for roughly 30 years before splitting from the family in 2022, has been in the spotlight in recent months, it hasn't been for the best of reasons. Unfortunately, after leaving her long-term relationship and finding independence on her own, Janelle and Kody's son Garrison Brown ed at the age of 25. Dealing with grief, Janelle deserves some pampering.

While Below Deck may not be the typical scene for Janelle, seeing her aboard one of the show's superyachts would be exciting for viewers and the Sister Wives star, alike. Janelle would be grateful for the experience, and being somewhere so luxurious would be fun to watch. While Janelle may not be the traditional Below Deck pick, she'd be a fun addition to the season.

1 Mark Anderson

The Golden Bachelorette

As another member of Bachelor Nation, Mark Anderson had an interesting story coming into the franchise. As Kelsey's father, Mark appeared on The Bachelor season 28 and Bachelor Nation quickly realized he was a catch. With The Golden Bachelorette season 1 on the horizon, Mark was cast as one of the contestants hoping to win Joan Vassos' heart. While things didn't work out between Mark and Joan, viewers got to know the widower and learn more about his life outside of being a father.

After The Golden Bachelorette season 1 ended for Mark, he seemed like he would be the next person to take the lead on The Golden Bachelor, but things changed when he met his current partner, Barbara Alyn Woods. While Mark may not be the next Golden Bachelor, he seems like he'd be a lot of fun to see on Below Deck. He'd surely enjoy the luxurious energy, and would give viewers a whole new look at his life.
