Below Deck Mediterranean fans are praising this star’s Olympics arrival, even after some of their fellow crew members have been accused of faking poor performance for the sake of drama. While Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 has had some major drama on the interpersonal side of things, the series has faced criticism surrounding the crew drama aboard Mustique. For crew members like Chef Johnathan Shillingford and Bosun Iain MacLean, their overwhelmingly poor performances have been scrutinized to the point that some believe they’ve been faking their performances for the sake of drama, despite Below Deck Med traditionally having some drama.
“Chrissy has been very public about loving below deck”
As revealed in an Instagram post from Chrissy Teigen, Below Deck Mediterranean’s Captain Sandy Yawn attended the Olympic opening ceremony as a part of the NBC Universal family, and viewers were thrilled to see her making an entrance.
According to Reddit user u/lunaraptorface, fans were shocked to see Captain Sandy in a photo with Chrissy and actress Elizabeth Banks, who was also in attendance. “Actually this tracks hard, Chrissy has been very public about loving below deck,” u/AdventrousDay3020 commented, explaining that Chrissy and Elizabeth are both big Below Deck fans who would be excited to get the chance to meet the Below Deck Med Captain.

While Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 continues, the drama has been fun for viewers like Chrissy to get to watch. With Captain Sandy in the middle of the issues, those who attended the Olympics opening ceremony with the Captain likely asked for a sneak peek of what’s to come this season. As the crew continues on their charter season, things are heating up in the boatmance department as Bri Muller and Ellie Dubaich continue to feud over Joe Bradley, while Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher’s budding boatmance may be ready to depart from the port with their recent secret kiss.
Throughout Below Deck Mediterranean season 9, Captain Sandy has been working hard to keep herself a safe distance away from the drama, sharing that her leads Iain and Chief Stew Aesha Scott should be able to handle their teams without her stepping in. With Captain Sandy being a bit more hands-off in terms of the crew drama, she’s been able to focus on keeping the Mustique moving forward, and investing in her relationship with now-wife Leah Shafer. Previewed earlier in the season, Captain Sandy will propose to Leah during Below Deck Med season 9, with help from the crew.
As Below Deck Mediterranean season 9’s episodes hit their midway point, the season has already been through some major ups and downs. Captain Sandy has been doing her best to keep the crew in line as they navigate the waters of the Mediterranean with their charter guests aboard the superyacht. Though Captain Sandy has taken some time away from her vessel to attend the Olympics opening ceremony, she’ll likely be right back to Below Deck Mediterranean once her fun is over.
Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
