Below Deck Down Under season 3’s Johnny Arvanitis has been interesting to watch this season, but his reaction to Alesia Harris’s mistaken identity issue with Wihan Du Toit was something he needs to make amends for before he starts coming off like a villain. Throughout Below Deck Down Under season 3, there’s been a lot of tension throughout the exterior team. Johnny, a first time Below Deck yachtie along with Wihan, has been struggling to keep his cool throughout the season, as his reactions to nearly every tough moment have been somewhat larger than other the yachties working aboard Katina.

Johnny, who comes from Greece and is proud of his heritage, has been in the yachting industry for nearly a decade and clearly knows what he’s doing aboard Katina. Though he’s been struggling with the way Wihan has chosen to move through the charter season, he’s been a team player during his time aboard Katina. After building a connection with Alesia, though, Johnny has proven to be slightly possessive with his relationships. Though it’s clear that Johnny’s not malicious in his intentions, it’s possible he’d be seeing some backlash if Below Deck viewers weren’t so focused on Wihan’s villainous behavior.

Johnny Had A Violent Reaction To Alesia Mistaking Wihan For Him

He Punched A Wall

Although Johnny was deeply confused in the moment, his reaction to discovering that sous-chef Alesia had accidentally gotten into bed with Wihan instead of him was overwhelming. Wihan, who normally takes the bottom bunk, got into the top bunk instead during the most recent episode of Below Deck Down Under. When Alesia went to crawl into bed with Johnny, who she’s been seeing during the charter season, she didn’t realize it wasn’t him right away. Though he understood what was happening, Wihan chose not to speak up.

When Johnny walked into the bunk to find Alesia in bed with Wihan, he had a difficult reaction. Angry and overwhelmed, Johnny left the room and wound up punching a wall before he calmed down. While he wasn’t violent toward Alesia or Wihan, both seemed to be deeply confused about the issue and struggled to comprehend what had just happened. Regardless of why Johnny’s reaction was so strong, it felt deeply overwhelming to watch, and was a bit scary because of its intensity in the moment.

Johnny Has Been Relatively Calm This Season

He’s Taken The Blame Unnecessarily

Throughout the season, Johnny has been fairly calm and rational, even in moments of Below Deck turmoil. After working in the yachting industry for nearly a decade, it appears that Johnny has developed an understanding of when things are genuinely problematic or overwhelming, and when he simply needs to work through his emotion. Johnny has been mostly calm this season, and though he’s clearly someone who could have a streak of anger when it comes to things that matter to him, he’s been upfront about the difficulties he’s had on Katina rather than trying to swallow them down.

Johnny Should Apologize For His Angry Outburst

He Overreacted In The Moment

As a Below Deck Down Under crew member, Johnny’s behavior isn’t something that should be tolerated. While Wihan should have his own set of difficulties and punishments, potentially even getting fired for his behavior, Johnny shouldn’t be excused for his actions even though he wasn’t the aggressor in the moment. Johnny shouldn’t have acted in violence while he was angry, and for that he should have to apologize to Alesia for his actions, as well as the rest of the Below Deck Down Under crew. Johnny’s outburst shouldn’t be tolerated, but he also shouldn’t be terminated entirely for it.

Below Deck Down Under airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
