Aesha Scott is opening up about her Below Deck Mediterranean return. The new second stew calls herself the luckiest girl alive.

Nothing but excitement and positivity for the new second stew
In an Instagram post announcing her return to Below Deck Med, Aesha admitted she felt lucky to be on the show for a second time. Her message also revealed that Aesha is feeling the love from past cast members and fans.
The reaction of Aesha joining Season 5 has been extremely positive. Hannah, Bugsy Drake, Julia d’Albert Pusey, Anastasia Surmava, and others shared their love and support for Aesha as her first episode aired.
Aesha is feeling the love too. She spoke to Decider on how all the positivity has made her feel.
“I just got so many comments and messages of people being like, ‘Oh, yay! So happy you’re coming back!’ It’s just really nice,” she said.”
“I think that a lot of people that do reality TV experience a lot of negative stuff. For me, it’s shown me how much love people have. People don’t have to take the time out of their day to write such lovely things. So when they do, it really means a lot to me,” Aesha told Decider.
Different crew, different vibe but the same old Aesha

Johnny and Michelle Damon were the first charter guests for Aesha. Their familiar faces helped her adjust to working with a new crew that she met hours before the charter began. The couple gave Aesha a sense of comfort.
