- Tonight on the "Below Deck: Mediterranean"
season seven reunion...
- When the boat goes rocking, don't come knocking.
- ...we're covering the boat-mances that rocked the yacht.
- There's a lot of things I'm-I'm ashamed of.
- I think Dave was done dirty. - She was so closed off about it
and, like, lying. - I've been called a bully,
a psychopath, a stalker. - He was batsh-- insane.
- Did it end with the cuddling? - No one caught us.
- She was down in the bosun's locker a lot.
- We're going through the drama from bow to stern.
- I think Raygan knows how fresh Raygan was that night.
- Maybe that joke, obviously, was a bit too much.
- Kyle, was Courtney a narcissist?
The crew mess is on full display.
How hurt were you when Storm chose Courtney over you?
- I made a mistake. - It kind of all was like
a downward spiral. - Please do not find
an excuse for this. And the audacity.
Hon, I was on the bloody beach.
- It saddens my heart to see them like this.
- The "Below Deck: Mediterranean" season 7 reunion
starts now.
Hey, everybody, welcome to the "Below Deck: Med"
season 7 reunion.
I'm your host, Andy Cohen, reuniting the crew
from motor yacht "Home" who came ready to spill the tea
from the Mediterranean Sea.
So without further ado, here they are, fresh from Malta.
Say hi to our fearless leader, Captain Sandy Yawn.
Hi, Captain Sandy. - Hi, Andy.
So great to be here. - Great to see you.
Up next, it's our bosun,
and the most iconic 'stache to hit the high seas,
Storm Smith. Hi, Storm.
- Hey, how's it going. - Say hi to the man
who cooked up 5-star meals and quite a bit of drama.
Hey, Chef Dave White. - Hi, Andy.
Thanks for havin' me. Good to be here.
- Any chance, uh, you're gonna go shirtless tonight
like your surprise appearance at BravoCon?
[cheering]
- I don't want to make that a normal, uh, a normal thing.
- Please welcome our second stew Natalya Scudder.
- Hi, Andy. Thank you for having me.
- We are now joined by self-proclaimed service queen
Kyle Viljoen. - [laughing]
I'm excited to be here. Thanks so much.
- You know what? That's the enthusiasm I love
on a reunion night. Now for some familiar faces.
Say hi to deckhands Courtney Veale.
- Hey, Andy. Hi. Good to be back.
- And he thought working for Captain Sandy was so nice
that he decided to do it twice. Hi, Zee Dempers.
How you doin'? - Hey, Andy.
Good. Thanks. - Great to see you.
We invited Jason to join us today,
but he declined to participate.
We are gonna be hearing from Raygan and Reid
later in the show.
Natasha also decided not to join us tonight.
She sent a long a message that we'll be seeing
later in the show.
Kyle, do you know why Tash decided not to come today?
- Natasha is, obviously, working in South Arabia now
on another vessel.
Um, but moreso, she said she just wanted
to avoid the criticism at her
that's been going on through the season.
I think she chose, like,
her mental and emotional stability over anything else.
I hope in her message to us later,
she gets to kind of tell her side.
I hope that for her. - You know,
it's sad that she's not here to defend herself
or-or give her side of the story.
But maybe she just can't, you know?
Some people emotionally can't do it.
- Dave, what's your reaction
to the way viewers have responded to Tash?
Do you think it's unfair?
- Look, I don't feel like anyone should be, uh, abused, uh,
like-- how what's happening to Tash.
I mean, I've also had it.
I've been called a-a bully, a psychopath, a stalker.
Look, I do feel for her.
I still think she's a great person.
It would be great if she was here today
so she-she could defend herself.
- I hate it when people don't show up,
because they let other people, you know,
speak on their behalf,
and I would have loved to have heard from her tonight.
Well, we have a lot to discuss.
When we first met Chef Dave and chief stew Natasha,
their relationship started as a sexy secret
but quickly became as rocky as a yacht with no stabilizers.
Watch.
- Just did a month's charter with Natasha.
We're good friends, and that smile is unreal, so--
- Really? - We're roomies.
- I don't like being single. I get really lonely.
- How long have you and Chef been seeing each other?
- No, we're not seeing each other.
- Really? - On our last boat,
me and Tash, we got together.
Tash asked me to keep it secret,
but I'm struggling with keeping it a secret.
- [scoffs] - I feel like
Tash is going out of her way to push me away.
Hoping to have more. - No!
- He's ----ing psycho. - If you do it again,
you're fired.
- What the (BLEEP) are you doing?
You, like, broke my heart, so.
- I'm sorry, Davey. - Give me a hug.
- Natalya, did you believe her
when Tash denied her relationship to Dave?
- I knew it, and I was like,
"Hey, do you want to share a cabin with me, my twin?"
And she was like, "Oh, no, me and Dave
"have got to stay together." [laughter]
- So, Courtney, do you think Natasha should have been
transparent about her relationship with Dave?
- Yeah, you know, I mean, obviously,
I've been in a few situations where, like, we try--
people try and keep things, uh, like, private and stuff,
and I completely understand that,
but I think when it- when it gets to a point
where it's actually affecting, like, work,
and it's affecting other crew,
because nobody knows what the (BLEEP) is going on,
like, I was so confused when I came on the boat,
and then Dave kind of told me some stuff, and then--
but then Tash would completely deny it,
and she was so closed off about it, and, like, lying.
It wasn't wrong what happened.
You know, like, I think if she had just kind of told us
and explained what had happened
and the situation,
then we would have all been, like, pretty understanding.
- Zee, do you agree with her assessment?
- I don't find it too normal if you can go, like a whole season
and sort of lie about certain things.
That, to me, is a little bit odd,
not that she's a strange person.
She is lovely, but I just think that
the behavior that she had towards
dealing with the Dave situation wasn't-wasn't that great, so.
- Kyle, what were your thoughts about Chef Dave, uh,
admitting on "Watch What Happens Live"
that he and Tash did hook up on charter
even though they said at the time
that it never happened?
- Thank God. We need someone to speak the truth
and try and make us understanders, too,
because, I mean, I was around you two all the time,
and I never got to see all the sneaky, sneaky links,
so I was like, "Okay, this is what I needed to hear,"
so I'm proud of him that he spoke his truth.
- Dave, what actually happened, uh, in the bathroom
between the two of you?
You were in there for a long time.
[laughter]
- I'm just pissed that Dave and Natasha used all the hot water.
20 ----ing minutes? Uh, like, come on.
- When the boat goes rocking, don't come knocking.
- To be honest,
I actually walked in the shower fully clothed.
I don't know why. Um, I think I was--
I think I was trying to, um, trying to be a gentleman,
in a sense. I went in there thinking,
you know, if I have my clothes on,
it wouldn't be, um, like, too--
"Hi, I'm naked!" Um--
- You had your shirt off at BravoCon,
but then you wear your clothes in the shower.
[laughter] - Yeah.
- So did you get naked in the shower?
- Oh, yeah, I was fully-- Oh, yeah. I got fully starkers.
Yeah. Yeah. - So, Dave, why do you think
Natasha assigned herself to room with you
and then immediately broke up with you?
- Um, I guess 'cause I was, uh, a dick.
Um, I mean, I-- Let's face it.
There's a lot of things I'm ashamed of,
what I did on the show.
Um, when we saw each other before I joined,
we spoke about, um, us becoming official, if you like.
She just didn't want, uh, her family or, obviously,
her boyfriend to think that she'd immediately moved on.
- Dave, as a viewer,
it was hard seeing you sending those kind of toxic,
awful text messages to her.
Where was your head?
Welcome back. I'm Andy,
reuniting the "Below Deck: Med" crew from motor yacht "Home."
You know, Dave, it was hard
seeing you send those kind of toxic, awful text messages.
- Look I'm-I'm-- I-I'm definitely not making
excuses for myself here whatsoever.
I'm taking full responsibility for it,
but I-I never-- I never had a chance.
I just wanted to talk to her,
and, um, she-she never would let me talk to her.
Um, I-- Like I said, that's not an excuse.
Sending the messages kind of was a release for me.
It-it made me kind of get stuff off of my mind
and kind of clear my head a bit,
'cause I just never had that chance
to-to actually physically talk to her.
She wouldn't allow me.
- When you look and you see how intense you were,
do you regret it? - Yeah, I totally regret it.
I don't want to say this, but I'm gonna say it.
I was obviously-- I became obsessed, um,
and it's not a good look on anyone.
- Sandy, what's your feeling about the situation
now that you've seen things that you weren't privy to?
- I never knew there were text messages sent.
Natasha never told me,
and like I said to Dave,
you send her another text message, you're fired.
I didn't know the other side of the story.
There are two individuals in this,
and there's a lot of emotion.
Um, when you're on a boat, it's tenfold.
It's, like, insane, because you're in these tight quarters.
You're working 24/7. He worked nonstop.
Dave's the best chef we've ever had, ever,
on "Below Deck." - Wow.
- He allows people in.
Natasha, she's very closed, and she wasn't transparent.
She wasn't honest.
And I love how he is atoning
and that he is owning what he did wrong.
That's character. - Sam G. said,
"Who here thinks Natasha did Dave dirty,
"and who here thinks Dave had a toxic hold on Tash?"
- I think Dave got done dirty. - Me, too.
- Um, yeah. - Me, too.
- Me, too. - Really?
Kyle, I'm assuming that you don't.
- Personally speaking, I think it was from both ends,
but what is different is that
if people think Dave was "so mean" and "so bully-ish,"
they didn't get a glimpse into Natasha's ex
and how threatening he was to her, uh,
because of the Dave situation.
- My boyfriend's having issues with me continuing
to work with Dave.
- He was batsh-- insane.
- And I'm assuming that she's no longer with this guy.
- No, not at all, thankfully. Oh my gosh.
Natasha is dating a songwriter/singer.
I've met him. Such a fantastic guy.
They are overjoyed with love.
- Dave, you are currently single?
- Yeah, I'm, uh, currently very single.
- Did you meet anyone at BravoCon
that you had your eye on? [laughing]
- Yes, Dave, tell us. [laughing]
- I met-- I met some incredible fans
from all over the place, and they were wonderful people.
- You're not really giving me a name, are you?
- Probably not. [laughing]
- Stabeemer raises an interesting point.
Were you ever attracted to Natalya,
given that she looks so similar to Natasha?
[laughing]
- Do we tell them now, Dave? Shall we tell them now?
Or shall we tell them later. - You know what?
Out in Miami, we were just in opposite rooms.
- Oh! Careful, Storm might get angry.
[laughing]
- Well, there's one person we haven't heard from yet,
and that is Natasha, who sent us a video statement.
Let's see.
- Hi, everyone! I'm sorry I can't be at the reunion,
but I have to work, and can't manage to break away,
unfortunately. However, I am there in spirit with you all
and sending across all my positive energies.
This year's been such a journey,
and I'm so grateful for all that it's taught me,
and so thankful for everything that it's brought into my life.
If I didn't go through those struggles in the season,
then it wouldn't have led me onto the path where I am now.
I'm super happy, and I'm fortunate enough
to have met my lifelong soulmate and partner this year,
and I just wanna say that I feel so blessed
for the opportunity and experience
this has all given me, and I wish everyone there
the best for the future to come.
- Dave, what's-- what's your reaction to that?
- Um, yeah, I mean, she looks great,
seems pretty positive, she-she's moved on,
she's doing well. I mean, I'm working, too.
I'm still here. Um, but, yeah.
[laughing] - Good point.
[laughing]
- That's great, honest-- honestly, I'm--
I'm really happy for them.
I just hope they can keep it together.
- Well, Tash, uh, sent along this statement,
which I will read now.
She says, "For those wondering why I didn't speak my truth,
"my mum always told me if you have something bad
"to say about someone, don't say it at all.
"For those that know me know that I focus
"on positive energies and kind souls.
"I avoid negativity." Running emoji.
"Sometimes a little too much.
"I like to live my life as happy and bright as possible."
Sunflower emoji, heart emoji.
"I recognize where my energy is appreciated,
"and will always carry my strengths with me,
"not let anyone drag me down,
"and keep strong to be the very best I can be.
"We continue to live and learn." Heart emoji.
Dave, any reaction to that statement?
Question mark emoji.
[laughing]
- Blech, blech!
Um, I mean, no comment. [laughing]
- I think she's sincere.
We have talked. She-she really regrets
what happened. She has regrets.
- I think she's-- she is super kind.
When I joined the vessel, she welcomed me
with this massive smile, her bubbly energy,
me and Kyle her got on like a house on fire.
But I think...
what was going on with her personal life,
like, really affected her, which then affected other people
such as, you know, I mean, have her fallouts.
Um, Dave and her fallouts, like, but, I think
it just comes to where her head was at at the moment,
and it wasn't in a good place.
- I don't think she means any harm.
I think, um, on the work side of things,
I think if you're gonna be in a manager's position,
then you do need to be-- you can't always run away
from negativity. If you're gonna be a manager
or a chief stew, then you need to be able
to put people in their place. You need to be able to, like,
manage a situation, and I think that's, um,
sometimes where other people got frustrated.
She's really not a horrible person.
She's a lovely girl. I hope that she is happy
right now, and carries on, doing what she does.
- And that's why you would make a great bosun.
[laughing] 'Cause you're thinking.
- Oh god. [chuckling]
Thank you Captain Sandy.
- Coming up, Reid, I wanna talk about
your calling Courtney narcissistic.
We are back with the "Below Deck Med"
season seven reunion. We are now joined by
this season's original bosun, Raygan Tyler.
Hi, Raygan! - Hi there.
Thank you for having me. - Thanks for coming!
Well, between not hitting it off with the guests,
and getting Captain Sandy to hit a dolphin,
Home's bosun Raygan seemed to have her head
in the clouds, which ultimately gave way
to a Storm. Watch.
- Hi, I'm Raygan. - Welcome aboard.
We have two crew members that are still in quarantine.
It's gonna be challenging.
Thanks for working so hard. - That's what we're here for.
- Yeah, it's complete chaos. We need to get--
I don't wanna hear you complain, I want you to do your job.
- Yeah-yeah.
- Raygan's not really demonstrating leadership.
- I'm clear? - Three meters, holding.
- That's not three meters.
One meter, she's gonna hit it, man.
- We're gonna hit. - Oh sh--.
- I can tell you haven't run a deck crew.
I'm letting you go.
- I need some busy charters to actually learn more.
- Yeah, don't give up. - No, I won't give up.
- I'm gonna need a provisional bosun.
I'd love to offer you that.
- That's my-- that's been my goal.
- So Raygan, Scout S., uh, said, "We saw you taking
"a lot of smoke breaks and leaving Jason
"to do a lot of the work on that first charter.
"Was that how you remember it going down?"
- I don't actually remember me doing that many.
Yeah, I should have just quit in the first place.
- Sandy, Lara N. wants to know "Watching the episodes back,
if you were surprised to see, um, how seemingly lazy
"Raygan was, considering she was a bosun?"
- I don't know if I'd call it lazy,
or lack of experience. However, I think
when you're in over your head,
and you don't know what to do,
maybe smoking a cigarette and deciding?
I mean, I don't know. I agree, Raygan.
Quit smoking.
It's the best thing.
- Sandy, I have to assume based on her CV
that you thought Raygan was gonna do a better job.
- Yes, you know, um, a lot of people
put a lot of things on their CV,
and then when it comes to a larger vessel,
they're like, "Oh my god, there's more--" you know,
more responsibilities. Which I'm sure could
have been overwhelming. It's a very different
level of yachting on a vessel that size.
- So Kyle, how trashed was Raygan, uh,
on the night out?
- We're gonna drink or dance!
[overlapping chatter]
Woo!
[laughing]
- I think Raygan knows how trashed Raygan was that night.
That's a party animal spirit. If you come into a club,
you're getting dressed, you're looking at--
you're gonna shut it down, and do your best. Enjoy it.
So I'm proud of you. I loved every moment.
- Raygan, did you really think that Sandy was gonna buy
your food poisoning line?
[laughing]
- Oh...
[vomiting]
- So where have you been? - I was sick.
- That's called a hangover.
- Food poisoning as well. - No.
- Well, that day, my head was a bit overall,
like, I was really out of it.
I've never seen myself be out of it that much, really,
so, yeah.
- Um, Sandy, Andrew K. emailed "Those dolphins were tight!"
- This marina, basically it's a wind tunnel.
Plus you have dolphins placed really close together,
which makes it more difficult to dock.
- Have you ever hit anything before.
- I've never hit anything before.
I believe, um, if we would have had
the tenders, pulled them apart, I would have never hit it.
- I have to assume that hitting something
is a really big deal. - It's a big deal for me.
That was a-- a mistake, and Raygan made a mistake.
I would love to bring Raygan back as a deckhand
and teach her.
- All right, well we're gonna leave it there, Raygan.
Thank you for joining us.
- Oh, thank you. It was amazing.
It was an amazing time. It was a good journey.
[chuckling] - Thanks, Raygan.
Well, the deckhands are responsible
for throwing all the toys in the water, but when
it came to work and drama this season,
they definitely weren't playing.
Watch.
- I am making...
Storm... bosun. - Yeah!
[cheering]
- My eye's on Courtney to be my lead.
Problem is, Zee's a personal friend of mine,
and he's gonna be so ----ing bummed.
- We're gonna have this conversation tonight.
- What convo? - (BLEEP) it, though.
Just do it. - What's wrong?
- What's happening, boys? - Right now is not
the time or place. - Yeah, Zee's a good deckhand.
- I'd like to make you my lead deckhand.
Okay?
I'd like to go with you. - Oh sh--.
- Like, what is going on? He's a bit drunk,
so I'm like, I don't-- I'm scared to believe it.
- It's a little bit-- a little bit soul-destroying.
But at the same time, Courtney's happiness here,
overrides my sadness.
- There's a lot of tension between you and I,
and between you and the crew.
- I don't wanna leave anyone high and dry.
But, replace me. - No, I'm--
- I'm telling you right now, bring someone else in.
- I found someone. Welcome aboard.
- Reid Jenkins.
- Well, just like you did during the charter season,
deckhand Reid Jenkins is joining us
fashionably late.
Hi, Reid!
- Hey Andy! I'm glad to be here.
- Roll tide! - [indistinct]
- Roll tide!
- So Sandy, once you fired Raygan,
you put Storm in place as provisional bosun.
Um, what did you see in Storm that made you think
that he was up to the task?
- He actually took command a few times,
and I witnessed that, and I'm like, "Oh my gosh,
"he would be a great bosun."
So I wanted to give him that opportunity.
- Sandy, any hesitations about bringing Courtney in
as a deckhand this season, since you only knew her
as a stew? - No, not for a second.
It was a pleasure having Courtney onboard.
- Thank you. - Courtney, how are you
enjoying the switch? - Um, yeah, I definitely
prefer being a deckhand, I think it just, uh,
suited me better, and like, I mean,
I was obviously nervous to come on.
I didn't wanna let anyone down,
and, uh, especially Captain Sandy.
It was a good challenge for me.
- Storm, did you get the impression that
Courtney and Zee were just friends,
or did you catch any romantic vibes there?
- No, no.
Courtney put her foot down pretty fast.
I think Zee will forever be in love with her
for the rest of her life.
Even if she has a husband, Zee will still play that card.
[laughing]
- Uh, Courtney, CallieNY, uh, wants to know,
what did you think about Storm deciding to pick you
as lead deckhand on a night out when he'd been drinking?
What did you think?
- I don't really judge him for it.
I think he was honestly really nervous to do it.
It was a, you know, he was scared about how either of us
were gonna react and I think he just wanted
to make it more like a casual, uh, situation.
- Sandy, what was your reaction when you saw it?
- It's hard for yacht crew because they go out,
they work hard together, they party hard together,
and there's this line but I would prefer
that it happened on board.
- Natalya, you were vocal about your displeasure
with where it happened.
Um, any regrets about scolding Storm
in public about that?
- Uh, I think scolding's a bit of a harsh word.
It came down to as a little bit of liquid courage,
and I think after a drink he felt more comfortable
being able to say it then.
And I stand by what I said, but I'm sorry if it hurt
Storm's feelings, how I said it.
- Storm, why did you decide to do it on a night out?
- I just decided to do it.
And sure, I take, uh, you know, I apologize
for doing it on a night out.
I thought that either of them wouldn't have
had a huge issue about it, but unfortunately
I made a mistake, um, and I apologize.
- Zee, um, how hurt were you really when Storm chose
Courtney over you and did it affect your friendship?
- No, no it really hasn't, uh, affected my friendship
with Storm at all. Like--
I think for-for him it must've been
a really difficult decision to make,
but either way I'm super-super stoked to see, like,
Courtney progress.
Maybe it's just not my-- wasn't my time then.
I think she did great.
Courtney-Courtney knows how to be very bossy, um...
[laughing]
- It's true. It's true.
- So Reid, I want to talk about your calling
Courtney narcissistic.
- Do you fancy anybody on board other than me?
I'm joking.
- You have an undiagnosed case of narcissism.
- I'm literally the last person that loves myself.
Reid has no idea of who I am or, like,
what I think of myself.
- And I feel so bad.
- Did you mean it? Were you joking?
What was that?
- What it was was a joke
and I realized it landed wrong.
I still am sorry.
There really has not been a day that has gone by
that I don't think about it and it is not what
I think of you.
I think you're beautiful, fantastic,
and sure of yourself and I'm sorry that
that came across that way.
- Honestly, I love you Reid.
Um, you know, we've hung out
and, um, I think you're a great guy.
I just think like that-- maybe that joke was
obviously was a bit too much.
Um, you know, maybe with somebody else who is
totally sure of themselves then, you know, then maybe-maybe
it would gone down a joke, but unfortunately for you
I think it triggered something and then obviously it gave--
it kinda was like a downward spiral
and, uh, it was just a-- just a hard episode to watch,
um, but yeah.
- Kyle, is Courtney a narcissist?
- No way is-- listen.
Courtney makes a target effort for everyone, trust me.
Also even after a few drinks she's even more open.
She welcomes everybody and she is the party
and bar of every place. No one else.
[laughing]
- Coming up, Natalya and Storm--
we saw a lot of cuddling this season.
Did it end with the cuddling?
- No one caught us.
- No one caught you?
- Yes! Let's go.
- Welcome back to the "Below Deck Med Reunion."
Storm and Natalya shared a budding boat-mance
which lead to sharing a tiny bunk bed.
But when Storm gifted Nat a watch,
their crewmates clocked some tension.
Watch.
- Storm's got this rugged, homeless,
hot look to him. I'm into it.
- Natalya's really gorgeous. Aussies are my kryptonite.
- There's nothing happening, look.
We got pants on.
With Storm, we're a little bit romantic.
- Beautiful to meet you and I'm stoked to see
where this goes.
Cheers. - Oh, my God. Okay.
I think it's getting intense too soon.
I am, like, freaking out.
- He-he-he's a very emotional person.
- Yeah, and that's what's freaking me out,
- [Indistinct] - What?
- [Indistinct] - That's too much.
- I think moderation is for cowards
and everything worth doing is worth over-doing.
- I'm having such a good time on this boat
and I'm like, [indistinct] until I see you again.
As soon as we get out there and there's drinking involved
and stuff, it's just too much.
Today's not my day, I think.
- Well, I'm gonna run up, so you can tell me
later if you want.
- Yeah, to run it in good time.
- Interesting-interesting tactic for a breakup.
Jumps to bed again.
- Zee, have you ever seen Storm fall for a girl
as hard as he fell for Nat?
- Um, yeah. Storm-- when Storm loves--
he loves hard and he loves deep.
- Nice.
Natalya and Storm,
uh, we saw a lot of cuddling this season,
but inquiring minds want to know.
Did it end with the cuddling?
- We all wanna know. - We don't--
there was-- I was--
thankfully no one caught us.
- No one caught you?
[laughing]
- Okay, there you go. Then you answered my question.
- Yes, let's go!
I asked Storm and he wouldn't tell me.
- It was a long save then.
You know, we had to do what we had to do,
but I'm very surprised at how secretive we are.
- Okay, lemme ask you this.
You're in a boat with cameras everywhere.
It used to be, in my mind, that people went
into the laundry room to...
do their business.
How did you do it?
- I can tell you Natalya would never have it
had done in the laundry because that's the one place
she took pride in the most.
And wouldn't allow anybody to go in there
unless it were seamless.
So no mess sh-- in the laundry.
So yeah, she has got some secret places.
- Oh she was down in the bosun's locker a lot,
and there's-- - Yeah, I think
it's the bosun's locker.
- The camera's only there if the bosun's locker--
I-I nailed it, didn't I? It was the bosun's locker.
- Okay, so most-- - I think it was!
- Let's just say we're very creative people.
- Wow. - There you go.
- Bosun's locker. - Better.
- Natalya, did you have feelings for Storm
during that time or were you just passing the time?
- Um, I definitely had feelings for Storm
and I still have love for Storm.
Like, he's a great guy and I think if we were--
worked on a yacht together still I think we would
have a relationship, but he was going back
to I think South Africa.
I was going back to Australia,
and for me in my head I kinda already made a decision
that it most likely wasn't gonna work due to time
and places we were gonna be.
- So Storm, do you regret giving her the watch?
Was it too much too soon?
- Why did you buy me a present?
[laughing]
- I don't regret giving it to her.
It made her feel loved.
We had a great time and, uh, yeah.
Everything's just good vibes.
- Look what this is.
- Oh, you still-- [laughing]
- Aw. - Nice.
- At least you got it though.
- I'm saving it for the day I see you again, Storm,
and you can actually give it to your sister.
- Aw.
- Storm, did you ever wind up getting that tattoo
of Natalya's name?
- Uh, unfortunately I did not actually.
- Or fortunately.
- Or yeah, depends on who's looking at it.
- Right. - But yeah Storm, show them
what you got tattooed on yourself.
- Oh, I got Big Zee of course. Big Daddy, 100%.
- Aw-- oh look at this! - There's Zee!
- Yeah! - Hey!
- Oh.
- I got one from-- for him too.
It's a-a little-- - Yes!
- Oh, my God! [laughing]
- I think the two of you should get together.
- Yeah!
- Don't tempt me with a good time.
- Oh! [laughing]
- So, Olivia G. says, Natalya, why tell Storm
this is too much and seemingly end things one day
then invite him back in your bunk the next?
- Um, he was a part of my routine at that point.
We'd wake up. We'd go to work.
We'd have a cup of tea. I'd bring my vegemite toast.
And then we would always hop into bed together.
So, like, it was a comfort thing for me and it was
just a part of my routine and I've realized after,
like, our conversation I still love that comfort
and I still love being around him.
He was my release at the end of the day.
- He was part of your routine?
- Yeah, for me not to go
and sleep with him in that bed
was-was just weird for me.
It didn't feel right.
- Storm, did you think that it was gonna be
a long term relationship that would survive
the charter season?
- Uh, Natalya provided me an escape
to all the difficulties and the pressures
and the anxiety that I had for the season,
uh, and for that I was very, very grateful for her.
- And where do you two stand today?
- Where we stand today?
Um, Storm's got a new partner and she's gorgeous,
so I'm happy for him and I-I think
you guys work on the same yacht?
- Is her name tattooed on your body, Storm?
[laughing]
- Nice, well Storm we're gonna let you-you go.
You're on a boat and you-- it's time for your shift.
- Thanks Storm. - All right, thanks guys.
- Bye. - Good luck.
- We're gonna take a break.
We're gonna be right back after this. Coming up...
- Please do not find an excuse for this.
- Um-- - The audacity.
Hun, I was on the bloody beach.
- Welcome back to the "Below Deck Med Reunion."
Well, at the start of the season,
all three interior crew members had identical
positive attitudes.
But a messy pantry led to an even bigger mess
between the stews.
Take a look.
- I don't think there's any need for a rank.
I think we just rotate duties.
- I vacuumed the bridge,
the captain's cabin,
the main saloon.
My God, (BLEEP) me. Pantry's a mess.
All of decor from the night is still out
and I'm just getting overwhelmed.
- That's not okay.
The one that's always in the laundry
is the one that's always cleaning up.
- The dream team has gone downhill.
- Apologies for the delay.
- Between the two of you, someone could've
done that cabin. - No, no.
- Time management, make it better.
Do not go and try to blame me.
Tell me-- - No one's-- no one blamed you.
- No, because you just said the head of housekeeping
was not here.
- If you think you're gonna come for me
like you come for everyone else
you're hardly ----ing mistaken.
I'll put you right in your place.
She's saying you and I need to manage our time properly.
So I said, you know what? - Whoa, wait.
Wait-wait-wait-wait. - Don't be such a child.
Don't talk about a crew member in front of me.
Where'd the love go?
- I've got nothing else more to explain to you than what I did.
Face your ----ing facts, bitch.
- You haven't stood up for me and said
when he called me a bitch-- You are the chief stew.
You've not addressed my colleague.
- Guys, you're adults. I'm not sticking up for anybody.
- Period. Yeah. - You are the chief stew.
- I'm genuinely apologetic. I have no excuse
but complete exhaustion. - Okay, new rule.
No one talks sh-- about each other.
- So, Natalya, Christine P. said,
"Natasha said she really cares about her job.
"Did you feel any sort of guilt for how upset she was
"about the pantry mess after you snitched?"
- We're not in prison. There's no snitching.
I went to my hierarchy, who was Tash.
She didn't listen. Then I went
to the higher hierarchy, which is Captain Sandy,
and, um, in the end, I think I was fair,
but I do feel nothing bad about my comment about the pantry.
- Sandy, how difficult was it for you
to be stuck in the middle of a fight
between the chief stew and her second stew?
- Well, I have eyeballs, and, um,
I witnessed Natasha--
Her drinks were more important than other jobs on the boat.
I saw Natalya working her butt off,
and it bothered me. It really did.
There should have been, you know, your fir--
Your chief, sec-- first and second stew.
You gotta have that.
You can't bring two people in with the same position.
- Sandy, million dollar question.
Now that you know what you know,
would you work with Natasha again?
- You know, if she didn't have all that stuff going on,
and she was more focused, of course.
As she was on board, no.
- Courtney, uh, Stacey D. wants to know how you felt
after watching Kyle throw Natalya under the bus
about not cleaning the VIP room
and the head of housekeeping comment?
- To be honest, I think the whole--
both of them being second stews was--
it was gonna be a really hard situation for both of them
the whole season, because it, like,
usually as a third stew, you do more housekeeping,
and as a second stew, you're in--
you're in service some more. you know?
I did think you guys did have enough time on the boat
to, obviously, just get that one cabin done.
- Kyle, you say what? - Um, you know, it's--
That's the one comment that I think, um,
kind of set Natalya over the edge.
However, that specific guest wasn't off the boat,
and she was in there a lot of times,
and every time I wanted to go into the room,
I was told that the service aspect
comes ahead of the housekeeping.
So I don't know why Natalya-- - The guest-- No, Kyle.
Guests don't live on the yacht. I had them on the beach.
You had once cabin between two people
that had chief stew experience to manage one cabin.
Please do not find an excuse for this.
And the audacity-audacity for you to say
that head of housekeeping couldn't get to your cabin.
Hon, I was on the bloody beach.
You didn't even have to say it.
The guests didn't even inquire about the cabin.
You went out of your way to go up there
and say that to that guest.
Like, do not even make an excuse.
I'm sorry. You can actually say what you want to say,
but I think actions speak louder than words.
- All right. - And that riles me.
It really does, that you're trying
to find an excuse for that,
because I think you should just take accountability for it.
- I apologize for all of that,
but I've never come for your work standards,
never will come for your work standards,
and I will own the VIP next time,
and, yes, I should have spent enough time as second stew
and said, "Natasha, I need you to put you on pause,
"or put the 25 cocktails on pause,
"'cause we need to do the VIP."
I 100% own that. There's no excuse.
- It saddens my heart to see them like this,
because I know they love each other.
- All right, Natalya, Rachel T. wants to know,
"What did you think of Kyle badmouthing you
"in front of Captain Sandy?"
- Um, I just don't think you should be calling
a crew member a bitch.
We're fine now. Like, we--
We're unblocked on Instagram now, and if I'm in New York,
I'm sure we'll catch up. - Wait, you unblocked me?
- I unblocked you on Instagram. [laughter]
Um, I think the good thing about me and Kyle
is that we both get over things really quickly,
and we're able to mend our friendship,
'cause, like, looking back at it,
we had really amazing times,
and I think it came down to stress, exhaustion,
and, you know, maybe Tash not stepping in.
Her being too kind, I think, caused a lot of issues
between me and Kyle, as she didn't take leadership
and sit us down. - No doubt.
I still believe Natalya and I were the brother and sister
of the season. We literally make up,
break up, punch each other. I farted on her.
You know, she'd fall down dead, so we had a great time
as far as our relationship.
You know, one can only hope you can accept the apology
and move on because I want to party with my girl again.
- All right, I want to talk about--
There was an unusual relationship this season
that got a lot of attention, uh,
and that was between Kyle and charter guest Frank.
- Wow, that smile is everything.
- Well, thank you. - We have our limitations.
One of those big limitations
is do not ever get intimate with guests.
- Kyle is such a flirt. - Aw.
- Emily H. said, "Sandy, remember how angry you were
"on season two when you found out
"Hannah was chatting up the primary guest Jason
"on the iPad and also kissing him?"
- Hannah, nice to meet you.
- Jason, you off to bed? - Yeah.
- Oh, my God. - It's the master iPad.
- It is not cool. You cannot cross that line.
Maintain your professionalism. - Yeah.
- "Do you feel the same way about Kyle doing that,
"and even more with charter guest Frank
"once you saw it on TV?"
- Uh, Hannah did it on board.
It's not apples to apples.
I wasn't aware-- I would have pulled Kyle aside
and had the same conversation with him.
It's a no-go zone. We all know that.
But, you know, I didn't know.
I knew about Hannah 'cause everybody made me aware of it.
No one made me aware about Kyle.
- No one told you this. It's amazing.
- No. - Kyle, what do you think
looking back on it? - Um, it could have gotten
tremendously out of hand, but there were times when,
you know, the crew members came up to me,
although they were rooting for me,
'cause they know how difficult it was for me to get love,
and I had the biggest, loudest scream of support
from Courtney from the van. [yelling indistinctly]
And it was like, it was one of those moments
I just jumped in, and I just went for the kiss.
- Say, "I love you, Frank."
- Frank! I love you!
[cheering]
I can't tell you how blessed I am I had that moment.
No regrets.
- Wow, very nice.
Coming up, I have a surprise for all of you.
Back with our final moments
with the crew of "Below Deck: Med" season 7,
and I have a surprise for all of you.
It's one of "Below Deck"'s most short-lived stews,
Elena is joining us. Hey, Elena.
[laughter]
Why were you traveling the med with not one,
but two bunny costumes?
- I actually happen to have a costume on me.
It's a Playboy bunny costume.
I've actually got two costumes. - No way.
- That's amazing!
- Well, first of all, I always travel with a costume,
and one of the bunny costumes didn't fit well,
so I ordered another one.
- Elena, who was the most and least welcoming on Home
when you joined the crew?
- Uh, the guy I had a little crush on
was actually the least welcoming,
and that was Mr. Dangerous Dave.
[laughter]
- Dave! - Although, I mean,
watching the season back, I understand
why Dave was in the state he was in.
Yeah, I would say Dave was almost feral
by the time I got there.
- Elena, did Reid ever stand a chance with you?
- Yeah, Reid is really cute,
but I had my eye on Dave,
and he could have got a little nibble of this biscuit
if he would have made an effort.
[laughter]
- Uh, I appreciate that.
- Well, before we wrap up, uh, the season,
I'm just curious about any regrets you might have.
Zee, anything you would have done differently?
- It obviously would have been, um, amazing
to have been lead deckhand.
But, uh, these things happen, so thank you all
for a really [indistinct] season.
- Reid? - I-I would have been
more careful with my words. That's all I can say.
- Elena, I'm assuming that your only regret is
that you weren't there longer. - Exactly!
Andy, I would have blown up an air mattress
and slept in the damn laundry room if I had a chance, okay?
- Kyle, any regrets? - Yes.
Um, not purchasing three sets of SKIMS,
because if my fat roll falls out one more God damn time
on television, I'm gonna hurt somebody.
- You're being too hard on yourself, Kyle. Dave?
- Yeah, I've got lots of regrets.
My actual biggest regret was, uh, not gettin' that--
that pancake mission right.
[laughter]
- I specifically said "pancakes."
I'm not eating that sh--. - I got the pancakes wrong.
Sorry. - Well, I mean, Dave,
I think the headline you should take out of tonight
is what Captain Sandy said earlier.
I mean, she said that you are the absolute best chef
she's worked with so far, uh, in the run of the series,
and that's-that's a high compliment.
- And, Sandy, uh, I'll let you have the final word.
- The biggest regret I have
is not making those dock masters
take those, uh, dolphins and pull them apart.
You know what I mean?
I would have never hit the dolphin
if that would have happened. - You're still beating
yourself up over that. - You know, that's a tough one.
- Yeah. - That was a tough one.
- Yeah, well, I want to thank the crew from Home
for a dramatic and exciting season
of "Below Deck: Mediterranean."
I'm your host, Andy Cohen. Good night, everybody.
