Olympian Gigi Fernandez returned for another charter on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 after appearing on Below Deck Season 10, but fans say her experience was a ‘disaster.’
TheBelow Deckfranchise has welcomed back many charter guests over the years, such as Dean Slover and Timothy Sykes.
Olympic tennis player Gigi Fernandez also came back on the show as a primary charter guest on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9, Episode 3, which aired on June 17.
The gold medalist was previously on Below Deck Season 10, and became friends with Captain Sandy Yawn after her time on the St. David.
When Gigi first appeared on Below Deck, fans onRedditthought her behavior was “cringe” because she brought her Olympic gold medals onto the boat and asked the crew if they wanted to see them.
However, viewers felt differently about Gigi on Below Deck Med when they saw shewasn’t pleased with the food on boardand supported her.
During breakfast service, she sent her huevos rancheros back to Chef Johnathan Shillingford after complaining that it was cold, and fans reacted to the situation on social media after she informed Captain Sandy about the situation.
“This ‘chef’ should be ashamed to be serving the crap he is to Gigi Fernandez! She is an icon and deserves real high quality food!” one fan wrote onX.
Another person onXdisagreed with the chef serving guests eggs that had been sitting out for an hour and a half. They were glad that Gigi complained to Captain Sandy about it.
Aside from eating food that was too cold and low quality, Gigi and her friends had other issues during their Below Deck Med charter.
