The Below Deck Mediterranean crew is experienced in handling some demanding and dramatic guests. However, are they ready for a cast member from the VH1 classic series, Mob Wives? The show, which centered on women with ties to the mob, was as crazy and chaotic as you would imagine.
One of the main storylines involved the feud between Drita D’Avanzo and Karen Gravano. Karen returned to Staten Island after being in Arizona for 10 years, only to be on the outs with the other ladies. Drita was less welcoming than most. The show was … dramatic.
Karen Gravano will appear on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 Episode 17
In a preview for BDM, Captain Sandy Yawn was concerned because a storm was rolling in just before the final charter. So, the group gathered for the preference meeting. Captain Sandy read Karen’s bio aloud during the meeting. “Karen is a New York Times best-selling author who has written about being a daughter of mob boss Sammy “The Bull” Gravano,” Sandy stated. She added, “We better behave ourselves.”
During the first night, the group wants a pajama party dinner, and the next day, lunch on the beach. However, that could be problematic with the weather. After greeting the guests, the BDM crew brought out their best New York accents in their confessionals. It was hilarious!
While waiting for lunch, Karen revealed why she has a different accent from some of her friends. “My family sent me to prep school. I was like the mafia kid they send away to school,” she explained. “But if you piss me off, I’d be like, ‘Who the f*ck do you think you are?’” If the boat isn’t able to leave the dock the next day, the cast might see that side of Karen. Meanwhile, Mob Wives fans will be happy to see Karen on our screens after the divisive series finale.
Below Deck Mediterranean continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the next day.
