Controversies
Chief Steward Hannah Ferrier, who had appeared in the first five seasons, was fired during Season 5 after Malia photographed a box of Valium and a THC pen in Ferrier's cabin. Hannah was immediately fired by Captain Sandy and removed from the boat. It later transpired the medication was prescription to help her deal with anxiety.[28]
After 3 episodes of Season 5 had been aired on Bravo, Deckhand Peter Hunziker was fired by the production company for a racist posting on social media. His appearances were minimized in later episodes.[24]
