Below Deck Mediterranean fans are used to large fancy vessels, but thanks to Natasha Webb and David White, the yacht now has the excitement of a secret private relationship on board. The new chief stew and chef have been sneaking around behind their co-worker's backs in an attempt to hide their romance. Finally, one of them cracked and let their feelings spill out.
For season 7, Bravo decided to give the franchise a total makeover which has included a hybrid boat named Home and plenty of new faces. Captain Sandy Yawn and Below Deck Med season 6 deckhand Mzi Dempers are the only familiar faces returning. The new chief stew is Natasha, and she has quite the resume. Natasha owns her own yacht recruitment agency, Indie-Pearl, and has been working hard to further her career. However, the rumors surrounding her and Dave are risking derailing her success.
The most recent episode of Below Deck Mediterranean revealed that Dave and Natasha have hooked up in the past. The bunkmates recently got off a six-week stint on another yacht where Natasha claims her hook up with Dave was a fling since she was still in a relationship with her boyfriend of four years at the time. However, Natasha confirmed that the two were in a bad place. Dave fell for her instantly, telling the cameras, "It was immediate. It was a flame. It was firing." On the first crew night out, Below Deck Med season 7 Chef Dave let it slip to the cameras and the crew that the two had been an item, which left Natasha visibly upset as she didn't want to be judged. However, the flirting was already apparent to the rest of the crew.
During this week's Below Deck Med episode, Natasha felt she was starting to look like the bad guy since they got together while she was in a relationship. As Dave explains, he was told that she didn't want to be with her boyfriend anymore since she was unhappy. Natasha went on to reveal in her confessional that Dave would pay her loads of compliments throughout the day and that they did have fun together. According to Dave, he and new Chief Stew Natasha made an agreement upon joining the hybrid vessel that they "were going to give it a week then tell everyone" about their relationship.
Naturally, the night descends into shots and dancing. Natasha tries to get her co-workers off their trail by going overboard and flirting with deckhand Jason Gaskell. The chief stew was climbing all over Jason while chef Dave is in the corner, visibly uncomfortable. Even though Below Deck Med fans understand why she wants to keep their relationship a secret, she shouldn't hurt Dave in the process.
Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
