Captain Sandy Yawn returns for another season of Below Deck Med with a fan favorite by her side.
Aesha Scott reunites with Captain Sandy as the latest chief stew on the show.
However, after a serious cast shake-up following Season 8 of Below Deck Med, the rest of the crew are all newbies.
Season 8 was not a hit with Below Deck Med fans, largely due to certain crew members.
While fans are definitely looking forward to a new crew and Aesha being back, the captain doesn’t necessarily share the same thoughts.
It turns out Captain Sandy will miss some former crew members that Below Deck Med fans will not miss at all.

Time does not heal all wounds for Tumi Mhlongo when it comes to her Below Deck Med costar Kyle Vilojen.
Tumi and Kyle have been feuding since Below Deck Med Season 8 ended filming.
Despite Season 8 of Below Deck Med making it appear like they are friends that is so not the case.
Last year Tumi slammed Kyle more than once for his actions and behavior on the show.
Now Tumi has done it again by taking to X (formerly Twitter) and threatening to spill all the tea about him.
“lol Kyle apparently says I’m a mean girl ?? Oh I have kept my mouth shut for so long!!!!! Took all the online bullying for months!!! you don’t want me to say the truth about what Really happened...

There’s no question that Captain Kerry Titheradge has faced his fair share of crew drama on Below Deck Season 11.
Captain Kerry had plenty to deal with after stepping in to take over for Captain Lee Rosbach on the Og show.
This week, Below Deck fans saw Captain Kerry prove his crew and their safety always come first when Fraser Olendr revealed charter guest Steven requested a New Year’s Eve kiss from the chief stew.
However, after Fraser admitted he was all about it, the captain gave him the go-ahead to honor the request.
Captain Kerry has opened up about the situation, explaining his view on crew and charet guests.
After all, it is generally a big no-no for crew and guests to hook up, even though it has happened before, like with Kyle Viljoen on Below Deck Med Season 8.

It was a shock to learn that Below Deck Med was returning for Season 9 so quickly after Season 8 had just ended.

The new season brings back fan favorite Aesha Scott to the Med after she helped launch Below Deck Down Under Season 2.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Aesha broke her silence and went back to where it all began for her.
There is one other familiar face on the crew that’s mainly filled with new yachties.

Bravo has just pulled a fast one on Below Deck fans by revealing Below Deck Med Season 9 will air before Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5.

However, the trailer was dropped, revealing that Aesha Scott has returned to Below Deck Med to work with her friend, Captain Sandy Yawn.
Another familiar face is in the trailer – Elena Dubaich from Season 7 of Below Deck Med.
Elena was only on for a hot second to replace Kyle Viljoen after his epic fall toward the end of the season.
The upcoming season is historic for Below Deck Med, filming for the first time in Athens, Greece.

Ben came in hot for his second stint on the hit yachting show after not being given the bosun role.
Instead, he returned as a lead deckhand, immediately taking issue with Bosun Jared Woodin.
Ben isn’t necessarily wrong for his treatment of Jared, who doesn’t seem to be able to hack it as bosun.
What he is wrong for, though, is stirring the pot between stews Cat Baugh and Barbie Pascual.
Ben’s actions have Below Deck fans coming for him, just like Fraser Olender did in the most recent episode.

However, having Below Deck without Captain Lee Rosbach was also cause for concern.
We are only one episode into the new season, and Below Deck fans already have much to say.
Redditt was buzzing with so many fans who are just grateful not to watch Kyle Viljoen or Tumi Mhlongo on their screens anymore.
“I don’t remember anything about this episode except how happy I was not to watch Kyle and Tumi anymore” read one remark.

Below Deck Med alum Hannah Ferrier has spilled some tea about her friendship with Below Deck’s Captain Lee Rosbach.
It turns out that during the height of Hannah’s feud with Captain Sandy Yawn on Below Deck Med, she sought some advice from the stud of the sea.
Hannah and Captain Sandy had a turbulent relationship, to say the least, during the almost four seasons they worked together on the hit-yachting show.
Things came to a head when Malia White turned Hannah in for having Valium and a CBD pen during Season 5, and Captain Sandy fired the chief stew.
Although that happened nearly five years ago, Hannah still gets asked about her time on Below Deck Med and her feud with the captain.

It turns out that during the height of Hannah’s feud with Captain Sandy Yawn on Below Deck Med, she sought some advice from the stud of the sea.
Hannah and Captain Sandy had a turbulent relationship, to say the least, during the almost four seasons they worked together on the hit-yachting show.
Things came to a head when Malia White turned Hannah in for having Valium and a CBD pen during Season 5, and Captain Sandy fired the chief stew.
Although that happened nearly five years ago, Hannah still gets asked about her time on Below Deck Med and her feud with the captain.
This week, she revealed one way she got through the drama with Captain Sandy and teased what would bring her back to the franchise.

Jessika Asai has addressed her Below Deck Med Season 8 finale behavior after enduring much backlash from fans.
This season of Below Deck Med ended with Jessika making a fool of herself because of Luka Brunton.
To be quite honest, it was a theme for Jessika once Luka turned his attention to her following Natalya Scudder’s exit.
In the finale, Jessika goes on a drinking bender because she is mad at Luka, only to hook up with him at the end of the crew night out.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Below Deck Med fans blasted Jessika for not having self-esteem or self-worth.
Now, she’s speaking out on the subject and reflecting on her Below Deck Med journey.

Below Deck Med Season 8 has just ended, but the show will be back on Bravo airwaves sooner than fans might think or, quite frankly, want.
Season 8 of Below Deck Med was one for the books and not in a good way at all.
There were many times Below Deck Med fans called out the show for being toxic and unwatchable.
However, despite the fan reaction to the current season, Below Deck Med and Captain Sandy Yawn aren’t going anywhere.
In fact, Bravo revealed at BravoCon that there would be another season of the Below Deck spin-off, and it will premiere this year.
Let’s take a look at what we know about Below Deck Med Season 9.

Below Deck Med star Captain Sandy Yawn got real about Kyle Viljoen and Hannah Ferrier as Season 8 of the hit show ended.
Captain Sandy stopped by Watch What Happens Live last night to talk all things Below Deck Med with Tumi Mhlongo.
In true Andy Cohen fashion, he didn’t hold back from getting the captain to dish some dirt on her current and former co-workers.
Two people who have caused problems for Captain Sandy over the years are Hannah and Kyle.
While Captain Sandy fired Hannah during Season 5, she gave pot stirrer Kyle a second chance during Season 8. Something Below Deck Med fans disagreed with after his pot-stirring ways caused so many problems between Natalya Scudder and Tumi.
Captain Sandy had thoughts on Hannah and Kyle; her words might surprise some people.

Chef Jack Luby revealed that the Below Deck Mediterranean drama between Natalia Scudder and Tumi Mhlongo only gets worse this season. And he said it gets to the point where it isn’t juicy, but instead painful to watch.
“It gets worse,” he teased with Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “It gets better too.”
“I couldn’t believe what was going on,” he said, referring to the drama between Scudder, Mhlongo, and likely Kyle Viljoen. “Like, I couldn’t believe how much fighting was happening, it was ridiculous. Fights happen on yachts, drama happens, but this was a whole other level. It was just so intense. A yacht fight, I’m not gonna lie, it’s enjoyable to watch. Like, give me a box of popcorn. But this wasn’t even enjoyable. This was just pure tension.”

Below Deck Mediterranean bosun Luka Brunton’s reputation as a ladies’ man was pretty obvious when he appeared on Below Deck Down Under. He kissed stew Jaimee Neale, even though she was deckhand Culver Bradbury’s girlfriend. Plus, he had previously dated Below Deck Down Under stew Magda Ziomek.
So it came as no surprise when second stew Natalya Scudder shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet that Brunton is the “biggest playboy” in yachting.
“I find it so interesting watching that first commercial that comes out. I forget a lot about what happens, and then I’m watching it with my parents and here’s me,” she said looking embarrassed. “You can see me kissing a man that’s always awkward to watch back. But yes, I do have the hots for Luka. We’ll see where that goes. But Luka also has the hots for everyone. He’s a playboy,...

Below Deck star Kyle Viljoen shared on social media that he has been diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a “rare, serious disorder of the skin and mucous membranes.” Describing the ordeal as the “most painful and traumatic bodily experience,” of his life, he initially noticed things were ary when he began to feel “throat pain like none other” before it “spread to my mouth, lips, hands, and feet.” After a misdiagnosis of hand-foot-mouth disease, his condition began to worsen. “I suffered from worsening blisters, inability to tolerate swallowing, tongue swelling, and change in vision,” Viljoen wrote in an Instagram post on October 1, which caused his fiancé to take him to the emergency room, where he was diagnosed accordingly. He was taken there on September 29 and is expected to fully recover thanks to the “impeccable medical staff, a loving fiancé, and support of friends and family.” He added that he had just...

Below Deck Mediterranean bosun Ruan Irving wins for the shortest amount of time as bosun on the show. Irving boarded the vessel without his original certifications and later Captain Sandy Yawn realized the photo on the paperwork was not Irving.
“You have got to be freaking kidding me. This is someone else’s picture on Ruan’s certificate. This is major,” Yawn said in a confessional. She confirmed with the Port Authority that if a crew member has fraudulent or false paperwork, the vessel could be arrested.
Irving also skirted around where he obtained the certification and as a result Yawn had to leave him on the dock.
Not having that original paperwork, in the beginning, was a huge red flag, temporary chief stew Natalya Scudder told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. All yachties should carry their original certifications on them at all times.

Below Deck Mediterranean chief stew Tumi Mhlongo wasn’t exaggerating when she told fans to buckle up for the wildest ride yet. Mhlongo, who was the direct but amiable second stew on Below Deck Down Under Season 1, may have met her match in temporary chief stew Natalya Scudder.
Because Mhlongo was held up in immigration, Scudder temporarily stepped into the chief role. She was excited to meet Mhlongo because she enjoyed her on Below Deck Down Under.
“Her coming on board, I’m actually very excited. I saw a lot of her work from the Australian Down Under season. I saw her table decorations. I’m very positive about her coming. And I couldn’t wait to see what she does. I’m actually very excited for her to arrive,” Scudder told Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
She was hopeful this season would be less drama coming from the chief stew. Last season,...

Embattled chief stew Natasha Webb said that a previous work commitment prevented her from attending the Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7 reunion and she wishes she was there to tell her side of the story.
Webb started the season strong, but a messy boatmance with chef Dave White, combined with being preoccupied with her ex-boyfriend on land didn’t exactly endear her to viewers. She also ended the season on a bad note with stew Natalya Scudder too.
Some Below Deck Med viewers thought Webb was trying to avoid backlash when she didn’t show up for the reunion. Webb insisted that definitely wasn’t the case.
Natasha Webb was on charter during the ‘Below Deck Med’ Season 7 reunion
“It would have been nice to have been at the reunion. Like, I was really sad, but I couldn’t make that. Because that was actually the first day at my job that I’m on now.

Former Below Deck Mediterranean star Hannah Ferrier has weighed in on the newest chief stew on the series, Natasha Webb.
Hannah was the Og chief stew on Below Deck Med, even helping launch the Below Deck spin-off.
During Season 5 of the show, Captain Sandy Yawn fired Hannah with a little help from Malia White. Hannah getting the axe earned a slew of backlash for Malia, Captain Sandy and the show.
Since then, the show has struggled to find a chief stew that could fill Hannah’s shoes for more than one season.
Katie Flood did a good job in Season 6 but didn’t return for the current season, with Natasha taking on the role.

Below Deck Mediterranean star chef Dave White shaded Natasha Webb over their bathroom hookup and claims she likes to be in toxic relationships.
Season 7 of Below Deck Med has heavily focused on the relationship between the chief stew and chef, which started before the cameras began rolling.
They shared a cabin at the beginning of the season, but things went south when she wanted to keep the romance quiet, and Dave’s drinking caused him to be a jerk to Natasha.
Dave spoke out after his drinking got out of control to take full responsibility for his actions.
Natasha then shared her side of the story regarding their romance when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Last night Dave was on the show, and it was his turn to speak his truth.

Kyle and Frank remain friends after Below Deck Mediterranean. Pic credit: Bravo
Below Deck Mediterranean star Kyle Viljoen has revealed what happened with charter guest Frank Fay after the show wrapped.
Kyle was smitten with Frank from the moment he spotted the charter guest walking up the dock to the Home luxury yacht.
They did some heavy flirting with Frank while Frank and his friends were on charter, which is a big no-no and could have cost Kyle his job.
However, the connection was something Kyle had never felt before, and he wasn’t going to let it go.
Once Frank and his group left the yacht, the crew met up with them for a night out in Malta. Their goodbye was rom-com worthy, with Kyle and Frank’s first kiss ending the episode.
It’s been over a year since Below Deck Med Season 7 was filmed and Frank and Kyle are not a couple.
