Yes we saw Luke Jones nude in Below Deck Down Under, but it's not what you might expect. Here's the story behind the year's most controversial television nude scene. One of the biggest to-dos in reality television went down this week on the Australian iteration of the hit Bravo series Below Deck. Below Deck Down Under follows a bunch of sexy Australian crewmembers on a luxury yacht called the Northern Sun. In each episode, the crew caters to a new wealthy client while hashing out their own personal dramas.
This drama reached a boiling point seven episodes into the second season. Luke Jones, the ship's former bonus - a position as senior as the captain and in charge of the crew and day-to-day operations - stripped fully nude after a night of partying and slinked into a female costar's cabin without her permission. She was drunk as well, and Jones' unyielding advances prompted the crew - not the crew of the ship, but the crew of the series itself - to intervene. It's an incredibly dramatic moment of reality television that harkens back to the medium's wilder times in the aughts. If you want, you can see the full scene unravel here:

In a big move, the producers kicked Luke Jones off the ship permanently following this episode. Reality television shows invite drama up to a certain point, but there's a line that all reality television stars must not pass... however raucous their surrounding environment might be.
Interestingly enough, earlier this month SAG-AFTRA opened themselves up to the possibility of unionizing reality television contestants. Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel has been spearheading this initiative, and this episode of Below Deck Down Under underscores just how unregulated working conditions can be for reality television contestants.
