Captain Sandy Yawn Says Ben Robinson And Tom Checketts Are The Best Below Deck Chefs

Below Deck Mediterranean Captain Sandy Yawn Kiko Lorran

Captain Sandy Yawn has been the branded as the most intense of all micromanagers.  The Below Deck Mediterranean captain has a habit of inserting herself into any crew drama, and therefore into more camera time as well.

Maybe Sandy does this because she thinks it makes her a good leader.  Certainly it’s a management style, but Captain Lee Rosbach can run a tight ship without watching over each dinner service or assigning cabins.  So it could just for her own benefit that Sandy waltzes on screen at any opportunity, especially to the galley.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Star Daisy Kelliher Says Chef Natasha De Bourg Is Arrogant And Irritated Her The Most

Friction between chefs and chief stews is not a new phenomenon in the Below Deck franchise.  The chefs prioritize their food and ego above all else, while the interior staff have to manage the entire guest experience.  Sometimes opinions clash, but food really can make or break a charter.

The only exception was the pairing of Adam Glick and Jenna MacGillivray on last season’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht.  Not only did Adam and Jenna get along, they were crazy for each other.  Until they weren’t.  But for most of the season, their was peace in the galley.  And lots of shiny glasses.  Unfortunately, the premiere of Season 2 revealed that the dynamic between galley and interior was going to be very different.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 Premiere Recap: Come Sail Croatia!

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Captain Glenn Shephard

Ahoy yachties! Welcome to Season 2 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht! Just one week after closing out Season 8 of the flagship franchise, we’re headed to Croatia aboard Parsifal III with Captain Glenn Shephard. Who is just nothing but a Canadian sweetheart and probably my favorite of the three Below Deck captains. And I promise that’s not just because of my obvious bias because we share the same name. He really is the best. Croatia, as a location, is also the best. And if the last time we were here is any indication (for Below Deck Mediterranean‘s iconic second season), we’re in for quite a ride.

Personally I’m thrilled to be covering Season 2 because I know a lot of people may have slept on Season 1, or didn’t it a chance. I didn’t watch it at first either. In fact, it was actually my very first binge of quarantine. Which is insane to think about now that it’s officially March and we’ve been doing this for a year now. But needless to say, I fell in love with the show. And it opened the door to me spending more time than I’d like to admit during the last year revisiting past seasons of both Below Deck and Below Deck Med as a way to escape and self-soothe during the pandemic.

Hannah Ferrier Wishes She Got To Work With Chef Rachel Hargrove On Below Deck Mediterranean

Below Deck Mediterranean Hannah Ferrier

Hannah Ferrier may have been fired from Below Deck Mediterranean, but she is still following the franchise.  Case in point are the Tweets that Hannah shared regarding Below Deck’s new chef, Rachel Hargrove.  She seems to be speaking in support of Rachel after an episode in which Chief Stew Francesca Rubi shaded her uncouth sense of humor.

It’s no epiphany that charter chefs are difficult.  Both Hannah and Kate Chastain struggled to deal with challenging personalities in the galley.  No one more so than Hannah.  She got Mila Kolomeitseva, who licked steaks and used box pancake mixes.  Then there was Tom Checketts and his mansplaining tantrums.  Adam Glick cooked decently, but belittled the interior staff.

Below Deck Mediterranean Star Malia White Addresses Rumors That Tom Checketts Cheated On Her

Below Deck Mediterranean Tom Checketts Malia White

Malia White has appeared on two seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean.  During season 2, she was promoted to lead deck hand, and on season 5, Malia joined as bosun.  Malia is undeniably successful, diligent, and competent at her job.

However,Malia’s love life on both seasons overshadowed her professional successes.  First, Malia maneuvered a love triangle with chef Adam Glick and bosun Wes Walton.  Now, Tom Checketts’  short temper is the main event.  Since Tom joined the crew, Malia has spent most of her screen time coaxing him out of the bathroom and diffusing his temper.

Below Deck Sailing Stars Ciara Duggan And Jenna MacGillivray Slam Malia White For Changing Cabin Arrangements To Sleep With Her Boyfriend

Below Deck Sailing Stars Ciara Duggan And Jenna MacGillivray Slam Malia White For Changing Cabin Arrangements To Sleep With Her Boyfriend;

The most recent episode of Below Deck Mediterranean is the episode that just keeps on giving. Every day, there’s more to the story and more people from the Below Deck universe sharing their hot takes.

There is just so much to unpack from that episode, but, among other things, Malia White pushed everyone to switch up their cabin arrangements just so Malia could sleep in the same room as her boyfriend Tom Checketts for two weeks. She had the nerve to call Hannah Ferrier “unprofessional” when all she wanted to do was continue the level of peace she had with Bugsy Drake, which would never last if they had to live together.

Even Bugsy felt the same way, but Malia villainized Hannah and went to Captain Sandy Yawn. Sandy never ran the decision by Hannah or asked for her opinion. Instead, she just announced that the decision was made over the radio. As a result, the Below Deck Med fans were livid and Below Deck alums have opinions as well. Below Deck Sailing Yacht stars Ciara Duggan and Jenna MacGillivray have a lot to say and they are #TeamHannah.

Malia White Defends Telling Captain Sandy Yawn About Hannah Ferrier Taking Valium On Below Deck Mediterranean

Below Deck Mediterranean Hannah Ferrier Malia White

Below Deck Mediterranean has turned into a hotbed of discourse. The season started off on a female-empowering note, with ladies in the lead positions, ready to tackle privileged guests and a crew of television hopefuls. Under the direction of Captain Sandy Yawn, it appears everyone might be micromanaged into despair. Everyone except Malia White. Malia returned with a new title under her belt and as you know, with great power there must also come great responsibility…

As the yacht’s resident bosun and the first woman to hold the title on camera, Malia has a lot on her plate. She takes her new role very seriously and appears to be following the rules, much to the delight of Captain Sandy. But is she dipping her toes into the refreshing micro-managing seas of her leader? Hannah Ferrier might have an opinion.

Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: Around The World In 72 Plates

Below Deck Mediterranean Kiko Lorran-2

Welcome back to another week of Below Deck Mediterranean: Docked Edition. That’s right yachties, we are still stuck on the dock. Which is basically every charter guest, captain and real yachtie’s worst nightmare.

This week, the crew’s third charter remains all tied up with nowhere to go. However, that doesn’t stop the charter season — or the drama — from creating waves aboard The Wellington. From Chef Kiko Lorran being tasked with a nearly insurmountable challenge to Hannah Ferrier and Bugsy Drake finally confronting their lingering tension from charter seasons past, the episode does a decent job of serving up the smoke and mirrors to distract us all from the fact that this boat’s not leaving the harbor.
