Ahoy! The second season of Below Deck Mediterranean docks tonight on Bravo at 9pm ET and don’t worry, there is plenty of drama aboard this ship.
We caught up with the two returning cast members, Hannah Ferrier and Bobby Giancola, to get the scoop on what we can expect this season, and it’s clearly going to be a fun one.
First of all, there’s a new captain, and she’s a lady boss. Of Captain Sandy, Hannah explained, “She has a very different management style to [last season’s captain] Mark. She’s a lot more hands on, she’s a bit of a micromanager, and that can sometimes create more work.”
Bobby also noted of the new captain, “She really didn’t care about crew drama,” with Hannah admitting, “It was a bit of an adjustment period, but her intentions were always good.”
So when it comes to hookups, injuries, and late night nachos, we broke down the new season by the numbers.
People who already knew each other before getting on the boat: 4
As you’ll see in tonight’s premiere, two new crew members, Bugs and Wes, already knew each other and were surprised to be reunited on the show. While they maybe did a little making out back in the day, Hannah and Bobby maintain that their previous friendship was a “non-issue.”
However, Bobby and former cheerleader Lauren were already quite familiar with each other before boarding the charter, and yes, their relationship does rock the boat �� and his friendship with Hannah.
As Bobby explained, “It doesn’t matter who it is, if you’re in the same area for a long time, working together 24/7, you’re going to get on each other’s nerves. What was a little weird for me and [Hannah] was that there was a third party involved that was stirring the pot a little bit. So that had some tension on me and [Hannah]. You fight, it happens. Arguments happen, so that happened between me and her a couple times.”
Hannah added, “I think Bobby knowing Lauren probably hindered the relationships. I don’t think that was a healthy environment for anyone involved. The one thing I was a bit disappointed in with Bobby, I felt like after that amount of time, we should have trust within each other, and Bobby kind of took someone else’s word or side over mine when I’d known him a lot longer than her.”
“With knowing other people on the boat, especially when you’ve had relations with that person,” Bobby continued, “it can destroy potential relationships with something else, which can happen. There’s also a twist I believe that will come out with the topic of knowing people prior.” Oooh what a tease! Which brings us to…
Hookups this season: “Upwards of 3,” Hannah estimates.
Bobby also guessed 3 or 4, and something tells us he’s included in that count.
Injuries this season: “5 or 6,” Bobby guessed. “Probably 3 serious ones.”
“There’s one hospital visit,” Hannah recalled, while Bobby remembers 2-3 hospital visits in total. Stay safe out there you guys!
Bitch fits: “Bobby, like 20 plus,” Hannah offered.
“I had my fair share! It gets intense,” he confirmed.
But don’t expect Hannah to lose her cool so much this season. “Do you know what? I think I was a lot calmer than the first season. I think I reacted very differently this season to things that were going on. It’s a difficult situation to be in when you’re running the interior because you have so much pressure on you from the guest and the guest expectations, so someone like Max or Lauren has a little bit more time and mental capacity to be dealing with crew drama, where I have charter after charter. I have to usually do a different theme night and production for each charter and I just have to keep my mental capacity to that, because that’s how we earn our tips, making sure the guests have the most amazing time. So someone would come up and be like, ‘Oh my god have you heard about this,’ and ‘I’d be like, ‘No and I don’t care. Go away! I actually don’t care.’”
4am Kobe beef steaks Hannah’s had to wake up a chef to prepare: 1
“I’ve had to wake up a chef at 4 in the morning to cook a Kobe beef steak for the dog. That’s a bit crazy,” Hannah says of a past expedition. So when you see a group in tonight’s episode ask for 3am nachos? “That is so tame,” Hannah laughs. But to be honest, we’re secretly hoping for some kitchen action this season, because Chef Adam is hotter than a stove!
Shades of uniforms that stain easily: 2
The crew look so sharp in their crisp white shirts when they welcome groups aboard the boat…but there’s no way that lasts for long.
“Yeah, that was stupid this season. I don’t know who orders the uniforms. You get on a yacht, and especially on this one, I was like, ‘Really, we’re giving the boys white shorts to wear on the exterior?’ It’s really the dumbest thing you can do. They’re outside working with the chains, the oil, the dirt. Probably oil is a really frustrating one [to get out]. Once that gets in, you’re messed up.”
Bobby agreed, and from experience: “Even the tan pants, they stain so bad from all the work. You’re on a white boat so you don’t want to touch your dirty hands on the paint, so you end up wiping it on your pants.”
See you on the seas! Below Deck Mediterranean season 2 airs tonight at 9pm ET on Bravo.
