Below Deck fans excited after Mediterranean Season 8 trailer

The new trailer showed some surprises for fans – like the return of Tumi, Kyle and Nat working together again and more.

Fans were most excited about the return of Tumi, “I’m happy to see Tumi is back on the BD shows!!” Others were even happier about Tumi being back on the Reality show, “I’m here for all of the Tumi content Bravo can give me”

But for some, there were faces returning who they did not rave about. Some examples are the duo Kyle and Nat.

Kyle Viljoen and Natalya Scudder were notorious during Season 7 of Below Deck Down Under for their tumultuous relationship, at one point blocking each other on Instagram. Fans were confused as to why the two had been reunited even after their social media fallout. “Why put Kyle and Nat together again? They were a toxic combo last time. Both are head stews too working under a head stew who has not done it before…recipe for disaster.”

Sandy’s appearance in the trailer was also a source of ire for fans. Below Deck veteran Sandy Yawn originally made an appearance in Season 2. Fans complained, “I knew that was Luka again! And TUMI as Chief! Can’t wait! Unfortunately, we’ll have to put up with Sandy for another season.”
