Tonight, we say goodbye to the yachties of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10. But within this cast, we spotted four crew members who truly understood their assignments.
For some, Season 10 was a period of growth, which they accepted head-on. For others, it meant broken friendships and new challenges, which they didn’t always master. And, for one of these yachties, Season 10 marked one final chance to let her hair down, which she definitely did by kissing as many frogs as possible. But, all things considered, Fans truly enjoyed everyone on this cast.
Even those who made viewers cringe this season, they all still managed to work hard amidst their messiness. And thanks to their collective efforts, Season 10 was a solid step in the right direction for this franchise.
These Below Deck Mediterranean cast members stole the show during Season 10
In recent years, toxic narratives consumed Below Deck Med. Love triangles, warring cast members, and lazy, combative crew members alike overshadowed the original point of this franchise. But thankfully, Season 10 marked a turnaround for this series.
Within Season 10, the storylines were plentiful and inspiring, with a touch of messiness, unlike prior seasons, which, again, mostly focused on the latter. For this, we can easily thank four of these yachties, who consistently showed up and showed out, doing their best to make Season 10 shine.
Aesha Scott
Aesha Scott is a gem of a human. Further helping her case, for the first time in a long time, Aesha started and ended this season with a capable team. We can finally thank the casting department for this win, which Aesha also celebrated during the first couple of episodes.
But it wasn’t just Lady Luck that brought out the best in Aesha. Instead, it was simply Aesha being herself, per usual. For example, when Kizzi Kitchener made waves for flirting with everyone, Aesha consistently encouraged her to think things through. While Kizzi didn’t take her advice, Aesha continued to call her out in a firm, albeit loving manner throughout this season.
Likewise, when her other girls faced life-changing narratives, Aesha was always nearby, offering words of life and even a tender ceremony for one of their late exes during Episode 14. So, for her abilities to lead without showing favoritism, alongside her massive Kiwi heart, Aesha was one of the top yachties in Season 10.
Victoria SanJuan
Victoria SanJuan, best known as V, started Season 10 in the interior department. However, as she explained, she preferred working on deck. But after losing her boyfriend to a drowning accident, V felt safer, both emotionally and physically, working indoors. Regardless, after a handful of charters came and went, everything quickly changed for V.
Unlike Aesha, Nathan Gallagher received the short end of the stick with his initial deck team. So, a double-firing went down, which created two openings on his crew. After careful consideration, V rose to this occasion, pushing past her traumas to fill one of these voids. And from Episode 5 on, V did nothing but grow and learn on deck, making her one of Nathan’s most valuable crew members this season.
V clocked Nathan’s initial urges to yell at his team. However, V seemed to understand his frustrations, so she never spoke back or treated Nathan poorly. Instead, she kept her head down, gaining new skills with each passing episode, even when things grew tense with Joe Bradley. For her work ethic and grit, V was a solid Season 10 yachtie.
Cathy Skinner
V’s new gig on deck left an opening in the interior, which Cathy Skinner expertly slid into. Equal parts “Mary Poppins” and Aubrey Plaza, this stew made waves in all the right ways, from the jump.
Cathy is “absolutely stunning,” said Joe. Max Salvador agreed. Max ended up winning Cathy’s heart in Season 10, and their care for each other was sweet. But when not cuddling Max in one of their bunks, or dodging chicken nuggets on deck, Cathy was working her arse off in the interior, never settling for anything less than perfection in her position.
Even when Cathy learned that her stepfather had died, she cried and rested, then, she exited her cabin, fully dressed and ready to return to her job. Many people couldn’t move like this, which is beyond understandable. But Cathy is a different breed. Cathy won fans over greatly in Season 10.
Josh Bingham
Josh Bingham also worked extremely hard this season. But when this chef wasn’t fretting over plated versus family-styled dinner services, he was making viewers laugh. I mean, what’s a guy to do when everyone’s hooking up, but no one is smart enough to go for him? Well, Josh chose to smile in real time, but in his confessionals, this man grabbed his guitar and knocked out several original bangers, narrating the various absurdities he encountered.
Likewise, Josh befriended everyone on this cast. He had beef with no one, minus one stressful moment in the galley with Cathy. Additionally, his guests loved everything he prepared, minus the New Yorkers during his final charter. As seen in Episode 17, these guests wanted what they wanted, even if their desires were out of season.
Regardless, Josh still managed to provide his final guests with everything they asked for, because, as seen in Season 10, he is just that great of a chef.
And now, the main question is, did Bravo also adore any of these yachties, at least enough to bring them back for Season 11? Only time will tell.
Below Deck Mediterranean is streaming on Peacock.
