"Deserves a reward" — Below Deck Down Under fans appreciate Johnny for saving a guest

In Below Deck Down Under Season 3 Episode 6, Johnny showed himself to be a real hero, winning viewers over with his fast thinking and composed manner in the face of stress. Johnny quickly stepped in to help after a jet ski accident left a visitor, India, in trouble in the water. Johnny took charge right away as Wihan hesitated, making sure India was secure and reassured during the trauma.

His decisive moves didn't go unnoticed by the viewers, and his actions were praised on social media. Numerous people believed that Johnny went above and beyond, particularly in contrast to Wihan, whose lack of readiness exacerbated the issue. Johnny's commitment to his work was further demonstrated when he was left to handle the sinking jet ski alone, even though Wihan eventually assisted in getting India back to the yacht.

Johnny's reputation as a trustworthy leader was strengthened when the crew and Captain Jason acknowledged his efforts during the turmoil on deck. However, the viewers didn't settle well when, instead of real appreciation, he received a helmet. Fans of the show buzzed all over the internet, sharing their praise for their star and disappointment with the gift.

An admirer of Below Deck Down Under posted on Reddit,

"Johnny deserves a reward for saving that guest and not letting that jet ski sink, not that stupid helmet."

Another fan commented,

"I like Johnny the Swarthy Mediterranean man. I don't think he deserved the disco ball helmet, that's for Wihan the Flop Bosun, again. Appreciated Johnny saying he doesn't do boat relationships. Then ate his words trying to mack on the new sous chef, only to get stiff armed. Haha stick to your policies, Johnny!"

"I gotta say Johnny is growing on me. The first episode I was like he has an ego. But, with this episode I feel like on safety regarding the jetski he was safer and more concerned than Wihan was," read a fan's opinion.

More fans talked about Johnny receiving a helmet for saving a guest on the Below Deck Down Under episode.

A netizen wrote, "Johnny shouldn't get the helmet. He handled an emergency situation calmly and as Jason noted, it was Wihan's fault. Not just technically. It was Wihan's fault full stop."

Another person replied, "I was trying to figure out why Johnny got the helmet. The capt even talked to Wuhan about what happened and told him to stop trying to cover it up, that he made a mistake. So Johnny = helmet? I'm confused."
