'Below Deck Mediterranean': Fans miss Kiko as Tom throws temper tantrums in galley after guests demand fruit
Tom Checketts' meltdown at the galley has left fans wanting Hindrigo 'Kiko' Lorran back. It's the last charter of the season and like other times, this time too the team will have to put in more than 100% efforts to ensure the guests' demands are met. Tom was on a 15-minute break when one of the guests wanted chopped cucumbers. It was not a pretty sight watching Tom crumble under pressure and yell at Aesha Scott. The viewers were not one bit pleased with his behavior and called him out on the show's Facebook page, where they even expressed an interest in Kiko's return.
The obvious comparisons came up in the comments. Kiko had no help from the crew and yet was able to serve 72 plates of food whereas Tom gets his teammates to plate his dishes. Malia White, Tom's girlfriend, is often seen assisting him while he puts together meals. Kiko was good at what he did but he messed one of the dinners, after which he was fired by Captain Sandy Yawn.
"Hate a**holes like Tom. Disgusting attitude problem! Taking out his anger on the people he knows who won’t say shit back. Kiko should’ve never been fired! Nice job Sandy! #BelowDeck," a user tweeted, while another added: "So thoughtful of Malia to help Tom, to the point of being basicly the souschef.. But gave zero fucks about even thinking of helping Kiko. Seriously she is the worst team player and the most un interesting human known to man #BelowDeckMed #WWHL #BelowDeck #BelowDeckMediterranean."

"Miss KIKO!!!! No Drama from him except he was hit or miss on his meals!!," a user commented on Facebook, while another pointed out: "The episode description for tonight says ~ 'a guest request sends sleep deprived Tom over the edge' ~ Awww poor baby, always an excuse. No one else has ever been tired or had to stay up until all hours catering to guests usually drunken whims."
