Below Deck Med Season 8 possibly brought the most drama to the Bravo franchise ever. Well, if you love drama, hold onto your hats because things get a lot wilder. In fact, in the new mid-season preview, chaos seems to ensue with the crew and with the clients. Even Captain Sandy Yawn, known for discipline, seems to be losing control.

Below Deck Med Gets Wilder After Mid-Season

Remember when Raun Irving allegedly falsified his Yachtmasters certificate? Captain Sandy Yawn sent him away. At the start of the season, there were issues with visas. And then, no worries to deckhand, Maximilien “Max” Salvador, he just decided to leave. Luka Brunton asked him to stay for one more character. However, it’s Luka who gets slammed by the rest of the crew for acting out in the new preview.

Below Deck Med fans saw that Natalya Scudder and Tumi Mhlongo feuded. Finally, Nat left the vessel, and her absence really reveals how it impacted the crew’s behavior. In fact, Tumi does not seem able to hold any of them in control. Remember how she underestimated Kyle Viljoen’s illness? It seems that she underestimated a lot and she has to shape up in the second half of Season 8 on Bravo.

Crazy Chaos On Below Deck Med – Is Captain Sandy Losing Control?

Bravo revealed a crazy season already, but the mid-season preview reveals that things get a lot worse. ET Online described it as “madnesses” ensuing. In the video which you can watch below, a new party of guests seems almost as chaotic as the crew. They bring some really odd requests, including a giant blow-up phallus. Additionally, they strew clothing and wet towels everywhere.

With the crew in complete disarray, is Below Deck Med‘s Captain Sandy losing control? Chief stew Tumi Mhlongo rages about the bad workplace ethics, saying, “This is chaotic.” Plus, she eventually had to censure Kyle Viljoen for “stepping over boundaries.” However, Luka Brunton’s behavior leaves a lot to be desired as he makes out with the newcomer, Lily Davidson. Lily got a warning from Captain Sandy Yawn. Plus, the senior crew member on the Mustique agreed that her “interior team is definitely hanging by a thread.”

Bravo Fans Comment

On YouTube, some Below Deck Med fans were happy to see that Natalya Scudder returned to the boat for a visit. So, they want her back. They also talked about the rest of the shenanigans.

  • Bring back Natalya, please!!!
  • Oh boy, going to really pump up the drama. Duh, Luka is a player. Why is Natalya back? I’m surprised Kyle is still there, who’s the new stew? Looking like she’s another lazy wants to be on tv stew, wow just wow.
  • Since all this mess with Kyle it’s become such a toxic place to work
    I’ve lost interest in watching especially Tumi!!!!
  • Even with all the drama this is one of the worst seasons ever.

What do you think of the crew in disarray? Are you happy that Kyle Viljoen got told off for lacking boundaries? What about the former stew Natalya Scudder arriving on the scene? Could you work with someone like Luka Brunton who acts like a playboy in the workplace?  Is Captain Sandy losing it?
