The end of Season 8 is near and it was a doozy of a season.
Below Deck Med Season 8 has made history several times over – with bombshells on a rather toxic-filled season.
Captain Sandy Yawn and the rest of the Mustique crew have had Below Deck Med fans outraged over things going down on the luxury yacht.
The drama was at an all-time high, especially once Kyle Viljoen joined the yacht, returning for his second season on the show.
While Below Deck Med has served up several shocking, frustrating, and annoying moments, it also made history more than once.
Bosun Ruan Irving started the history-making moments with his forged yachting documents in the premiere episode.
It was clear then that this season would be like no other, and not in a good way.
Below Deck Med makes history with several Season 8 bombshells
Along with Ruan’s forged documents, Kyle and Tumi Mhlongo were stuck in customs dealing with their visas to get to Italy. Crew members arrived late to Below Deck Med in prior seasons, but this was the first time it was two people and a customs issue.
Meanwhile, Below Deck Med had four stews on the interior team, which was also a first for the show, which previously had only three stews. Below Deck Season 10 had four stews and may have started a new trend.
The Mustique crew was dropping like flies this season, with Kyle, Jessika Asai, Haleigh Gorman, and Lara Du Preez all missing charters due to illness. As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Below Deck Med fans sounded off on Kyle taking tip money even though he was MIA with a migraine.
