Why Below Deck's Kate Chastain Is Skipping Aesha Scott's Wedding
Kate Chastain will not be watching longtime friend Aesha Scott walk down the aisle.
The former Below Deck star recently revealed she isn't planning on attending the current Below Deck Mediterranean season nine Chief Stew's upcoming nuptials to fiancé Scott Dobson.
"I do not think I'll be making it to Aesha's wedding," Kate told Bravo's The Daily Dish. "I'm sure it'll be in New Zealand and that's just a bit of a far trip."
Of course, traveling halfway around the world would certainly be difficult now that Kate is mom to 17-month-old son Sullivan Cay. But despite skipping the ceremony—set to take place next year in Aesha's homeland—the Traitors alum has nothing but love for the bride and groom to-be.
"I'm sure she'll be the most stunning bride," Kate added. "I have a feeling it'll probably be super down-to-earth and organic and beautiful, just like Aesha is. They love nature and the outdoors."
However, Aesha will certainly have many other members of her Below Deck family in attendance when she says "I do."
"Oh gosh, there's too many to name," the yachtie revealed on Watch What Happens Live July 29 while addressing which costars she'll invite. "Captain Sandy [Yawn] definitely."
Aesha also said that she wants Below Deck Down Under Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph there on her special day, as well as current Below Deck Med season nine Deckhands Joe Bradley and Nathan Gallagher.
But there's one Below Deck Med alum who most certainly won't be on the guest list.
"Who would definitely not be coming? Probably Mila," Aesha added, referencing Below Deck Med's controversial season four Chef Mila Kolomeitseva. "I'll get her to do the catering."
Speaking of guests, keep reading to look back at the wildest vacationers in Below Deck history.
Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
The Bravo franchise has had plenty of dramatic and crazy moments thanks to some unruly and demanding guests, including Georgia, who was a little too flirty with no-nonsense leader Captain Lee Rosbach.
Sometimes, you just want a foam party—at least, that's what this demanding guest asked for. Was it eyebrow-raising to see him drunkenly partying in what ended up being about four inches of foam? Yes. Was it still epic because of how excited he was? Also yes.
Where do we start with Delores? The season eight Below Deck charter guest made a splash, literally and figuratively, after she drunkenly jumped into the ocean late at night. To make matters worse, this swimming session was in direct defiance to Captain Lee's order to stay on the boat. In a first for his career, Captain Lee ended Delores' charter early and sent her packing.
However, while being escorted away on the tender, Delores jumped into the ocean. Bold move, lady.
Barrie boarded the Parsifal III with his blended family, including his current fiancé and his ex-husband, in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. With such a large guest list, the crew was certainly put to work, especially chef Natasha. Not only did Barrie have no problem sending his breakfast back, but he also refused to have his family served buffet-style.
The first charter of Below Deck season eight was certainly a memorable one. We're, of course, talking about when the charter guests found themselves bickering over deckhand James Hough. Specifically, charter guest Shay called dibs on the British yachtie. However, her boatmance hopes were derailed when pal Lexi flirtatiously rode a jet ski with James. Thus, a fight broke out over dinner, which shocked the Below Deck crew.
It was ladies night on the high seas in this episode of Below Deck Mediterranean, but as the drinks flowed, some of the women started to get a little handsy with deckhand Jack Stirrup. Thankfully, Captain Sandy swooped in to save the day.
The crew aboard this ship got a show they didn't ask for when two of the guests hooked up in the crow's nest, a part of the ship that everyone could see on camera.
In the same episode that the crew witnessed the on-deck hookup of two of their guests, they also discovered that their passengers also had never heard of cleaning up after themselves when they stumbled upon a used condom on the nightstand.
For the most part, the charter guest is always right. However, in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, charter guest Erica requested that Captain Glenn Shephard do something to make the ship stop rocking. Unfortunately for Erica, they were in the middle of a thunderstorm and Captain Glenn didn't have the power to control the weather.
Other highlights from this charter group include a woman with hours worth of stories, bullying accusations among the ladies and so much more.
While many guests on Below Deck have been demanding, this may be the most ridiculous request because of how random it was. On one of the episodes, guests demanded gumballs, but not just any gumballs. They had to be colored gumballs and they even threatened to require they be delivered by helicopter if there were none on board.
Not every guest has found their trip to be a five-star experience, but usually they stick around to give feedback as to why. On this episode of Below Deck, we learn that a few of the guests straight-up ghosted upon arrival and fled the ship before even saying goodbye to the crew.
