Should Aesha Scott Return To Below Deck Down Under?

While Aesha’s time onBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9is just getting started, her presence onBelow Deck Down Underwill be sorely missed. Throughout the charter season captured onBelow Deck Down Underseason 2,Aesha was an integral part of things running smoothly. Captain Jason relied on Aesha to keep him up to date on what was happening with the interior crew, and when Aesha spotted trouble, she was able to quickly manage it with Captain Jason’s help. The troubling situation between stew Margot Sisson and deckhand Luke Jones, for example, would’ve been far worse without Aesha’s help.

Aesha may be a necessary part of the crew onBelow Deck Down Under,but her services will be just as helpful aboard Mustique with Captain Sandy. The only issue may be that the pair could clash. WhileAesha and Captain Sandy work well together, her time as Chief Stew on Mustique is something that neither yachtie is familiar with. While she was great as one of the stews aboard Captain Sandy’s vessel, it may be possible that the two don’t mesh as well. Even with the possibility of the two butting heads,Aesha should remain onBelow Deck Med.

While Aesha has shared that the drama onBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9 is unlike anything she’s ever faced in her management career, it feels easy to predict that she’ll have a successful season aboard the superyacht regardless of the extenuating circumstances that could arise.
