Chef Ryan Mckeown
Chef Ryan Mckeown from Below Deck Down Under Season 1 has earned a reputation as one of the most disrespectful chefs in the Below Deck franchise history. His treatment of the stews, including Chief Stew Aesha, was nothing short of demeaning, and he was known for his combative response to any form of constructive criticism, even from Captain Jason Chambers. It's safe to say that Ryan's terrible attitude has likely sealed his fate of not returning to a Below Deck series again.

Leon's bad attitude ultimately led to his dismissal from the show, making room for a replacement by the likes of Chef Ben.
