Summary
Below Deck Mediterraneanseason 9 is just beginning, butCaptain Sandy is already teasing which crew members she’d like to see return, and who she could fire on the new season. Captain Sandy, who’s been the captain of the series sinceBelow Deck Medseason 2, is one of the only consistent cast members on the show, as istypical in theBelow Deckfranchise. Throughout her time aboardBelow Deck Med’s superyachts, Captain Sandy has met her fair share of yachties, some who have made her life more difficult than others. Which crew members would Captain Sandy ask back?
Captain Sandy may have had to fire some yachties for their behavior in the past, but her answer regarding who she’d like to see back onBelow Deck Mediterraneanin the future is surprising. During an interview withE! Online,the Captain shared,“I always want crew to come back…you spend that time with them, you bond.”Captain Sandy explained that she would even take crew back that she’s fired in the past, hoping they’ve seen how poor their performance was on the show.
AlthoughBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 8was criticized in-depth by fans of the series,Captain Sandy enjoyed the charter season more than most. She shared that she“would have loved to have Tumi [Mhlongo]…I would have loved to have Kyle [Viljoen]. All of them, Natalya [Scudder]. They’re great people.”But can Bravo fans expect Sandy to fire any crewmembers for bad behavior? As she teased,“You just have to stay tuned and find out.”
Which Below Deck Med Crew Members Should Return?
WhileBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9may just be getting started, but Captain Sandy is already teasing the idea that she may need to fire members of the crew during the season. If Captain Sandy has to make the call to let go of someone, there are some viable options of who she should bring back to work the rest of Mustique’s charter season. While she may be able to work with the crew she has, especially Chief Stew Aesha Scott, the Captain herself would love to see Tumi backif she had the opportunity, even though Tumi was controversial.
Viewers would love to see certainBelow Deck Mediterraneancrew members returnto the series, even though it’s more likely that they’ll be staying away from the show. Fans have loved Malia White’s appearances on the series, and though she’s moved into a higher-ranking role on a different superyacht, her work with Captain Sandy was impeccable, so her return would be exciting. A more recent returnee could beBelow Deck Medseason 8’s Haleigh Gorman, who wasn’t heavily featured during the season, but seems like she would be a great part of any superyacht crew.
ThoughBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9’s castseems capable of working beneath Captain Sandy successfully, there are always hiccups in a charter season that some may not expect. ThroughoutBelow Deck Medseason 9, there will surely be issues that the crew will face, and some may not make it through the season entirely. Despite having to adhere to Captain Sandy’s strict nature, the crew ofBelow Deck Mediterraneanwill hopefully have the time of their lives working aboard the superyacht.
Below Deck Mediterraneanairs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo, then streams the following day on Peacock.
