Says they met after she finished season 4 of BDM.

So probably after she was thirsty for that one charter guest and whatever flings she had with Adam or one of the other chefs?

Good for her that she's stayed away from BDM but maybe in a couple of years, after her daughter is more grown, will she be tempted to jump back in for that TV money?

Maybe BDDU if that's still going?

Of if finds something else or the husband is a good earner, she can just be content with motherhood and being a house wife.

I'm not sure if this is 100% true but according to this site the cast for season 7 has been revealed.

Hannah won't be back.  She's plenty busy, running a yachting school with Anastasia, hosting a weekly podcast, and as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig.  She & Josh recently bought a new home in Sydney, I believe he's in commercial real estate.

Well crap. I'm glad Malia isn't coming back but I was really hoping Bravo would fire Sandy's ass. I'm not sure I can stomach another season with her.

Of course they cast the chief stew who's going to be involved in some "romance."

Meh why not.  It does make the season more interesting when you've got snogging 😄

Oh and speaking of romance...looks like Chef Matt from last season got married 🤯Check out his IG page

[aghst]

Have there ever been any BD season where there wasn't some kind of showmance or crew hooking up with each other or a charter guest or whatever?

[stcroix]

Why no topic started for Season 7?  I found the crew, passengers and of course Sandy to be very boring on the 1st episode.  Maybe no one cares to discuss it? 

[aghst]

I don't think it's aired yet.  My DVR shows S07.E01 set to record on 7/11, this coming Monday.

But it appears to also be available on demand.

I think Peacock app. will also let you stream a week in advance.

[Sunnykm]

I saw season 7 ep 1 last week, it actually looks like it is going to be a fun season.

Looks like Ben will be a judge on Beachside Brawl on Food Network for the Yacht Living episode.  It should be interesting to watch.

[aghst]

Putting it in here because there isn't a specific forum for Below Deck Adventure.

Here's the trailer.

https://www.bravotv.com/below-deck-adventure/season-1/videos/your-first-look-at-below-deck-adventure

Looks like the same BD formula, lot of partying and fraternization, disputes among the crew.

Except it will be in Norway, a new location for the BD franchise, with paragliding and repelling from the fiords.

Will it be only guests or will the crew also do the extreme sports stuff.

Will start streaming on Peacock on Nov 1, so looks like right around the time BDM's season finishes.

Refresh my memory, Tumi? Did we hate her? Wash she fired or did she quit? What Capt. was she with?

Tumi was on Below Deck Down Under, she was second stew. She was pretty much the best thing about that season. (Or should I say, she was the most sane?)

I agree, I love Tumi.  If it is her, I hope she is the chief stew- very deserved!

Yes, love Tumi. I'd love to see her on additional seasons of any of the Below Decks.

[pasdetrois]

Bravo may be trying for a turnaround on these BD shows. We had one season where all of the deck crew were great guys (Mzi's first season?), and except for the chef I liked the crew on BD Down Under. Now they will upgrade significantly by bringing in Tumi.

Courtney Vaele (S6-7) was on The Challenge UK, available to stream on Paramount+.

[ShowsILoveToHate]

Chef Mathew Shea from Season 6 of Below Deck Med is on the tv show “Chopped” tonight.
 

It’s Season 54, Episode 26, titled “ Too Yacht To Handle”.  

Hopefully he won’t quit twice, in the middle of the show. 🔪⚓🛟

And, more from Matthew -- this little clickbait tidbit came across my news feed this morning: https://www.dexerto.com/reality-tv/below-decks-matthew-takes-shot-at-captain-sandy-with-off-camera-moment-2209495/

I dislike Kyle.

[aghst]

So they had Luka in the can so to speak, because he was going to be on BDM.

And Adam wasn't bringing the drama so they made the call up.

Courtney's been on OnlyFans since May. Says she's earning up to $3,600 per week with no nudity & plans to buy a house. She lives in London, is single & dating.

 

[dleighg]

For no particular reason, I'm curious how that bra shows no nipples. I guess it's not actually sheer.

[SemiCharmedLife]

Kyle is hinting that he is leaving Below Deck Med.  Here's an article about it:

Well it's up to him if he leaves before he's told to fuck off but it's certainly not up to him if he stays.

Wasn't certain where to post this comment so here it is:

I have a message for God. Beware that Captain Sandy is coming for you to replace you as the omnipotent one. But don't worry, she is a complete failure.  She's the devil in white pants.

So, new season has been filmed in Greece and Aesha returns to Med?
They gonna make watch this again? 
AAAAAAH, why Aesha baby? why? Oh well.... it would be interesting to see how much I will be able to cope with!

[jcbrown]

Not sure I'm looking forward to this. https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/below-deck-captain-sandy-married-yacht

Why is Med back so soon?

Last season's final episide aired just months ago. Where's Sailing or Down Under or anything that doesn't include stupid Sandy?

I think they delayed Sailing because of the issues that have been reported about Gary and an associate producer/show runner on the show.

I was wondering about Down Under because Aesha is the chief stew on this season of Med.  I really like Aesha on Down Under with Capt. Jason.

Freakin' Sandy is more annoying than ever, if last night's episode was any indication.

[Baltimore Betty]

I get the provisions were screwed up and Aesha and Sandy called and texted many times but how helpful is it to tell them "this is unacceptable," on every text, it could have been that it was a supply chain issue.

The guests asking for margaritas except one wanting a Moscow Mule or some other cocktail had to be producer driven, asking for food should be anticipated by Aesha and the Chef, youngin's like to drunk eat...they should have known that.

The chef should have woken up and made snacks for two reasons, one it is his job description and two, his food and presentation would be much better than the stew's.  His crab cakes looked dry by the way.

Chef will be a problem if all do not kowtow to him telling him he is wonderful...Ellie will not be doing that.

Aesha's face looked different to me this season.

It hasn't even been 6 months ago ago. It was sometime in January of this year.

Well, I mean they can't just leave all that thrilling footage of Sandflea's engagement just lying around, right?

The Watch What Crappens guys have a pretty good working theory on that which would explain a lot about this episode. Bravo probably had to shelve Sailing Yacht due to the situation with Gary and either re-shoot or re-edit the season. So they probably looked for who was available and grabbed Sandy and Aesha and threw together this impromptu Med season. I think that would explain the whole provisions snafu because they weren't ready for them and it wasn't actually charter season. It would also explain why the boat was such a mess when they got on. 

Is anyone going to start a thread for this episode?

Yeah I wonder if Aisha being on BDM means she won't be on the next BDDU or maybe they're not even doing that show for now.

Same question about BD Adventure, since Kerry is now on the main show.

BDDU and BDA may be harder to cast, including the "guests" getting them to places which aren't as appealing as the Mediterranean or the Caribbean.
