'Below Deck': Malia doesn't respond to radio but Sandy says 'it's no big deal', fans question her favoritism
Captain Sandy Yawn has always favored Malia White and it was evident in this week's episode of 'Below Deck Mediterranean'. Malia didn't respond to her radio call but Sandy said "it's no big deal". It's surprising because Sandy is very particular about such things. And that explains why this incident had fans questioning Sandy's captaincy and whether she was being fair to her crew.
Earlier, when Sandy announced Christine 'Bugsy' Drake will be replacing Lara Flumiani despite knowing that she and Hannah Ferrier never get along, there was an outrage on social media. Most of the fans thought it was a deliberate attempt to harass Hannah and to have her voluntarily quit the team so that Bugsy can take her place as the chief stewardess of The Wellington.
But up until now, everything seems to be working smoothly. Hannah and Bugsy have found a way to work together without getting in each other's way. This wise move will not only help them keep their sanity intact but also benefit the crew and the way it functions during every charter — efficiently and peacefully.
Meanwhile, here's what fans have been saying about Sandy and her favoritism on the show. "Did Sandy say it was okay that Malia wasn’t answering her radio??? She would’ve gone bananas if that was Hannah #BelowDeckMed," a viewer commented.
"Please note that Sandy just said it was 'no big deal' that Malia didn't answer her radio and that Hannah had to organize cars to transport the majority of guests. #BelowDeckMed," a fan expressed, to which another responded: "I noticed that. As long as you worship Capt Sandy, you’re good." Another posted in the same thread, "You caught that too. Capt seems to have favorites for sure."
"Yup I tweeted that earlier and was like how is that no big deal?? Sandy couldn't be any more clear her agenda with bringing bugsy back," a fan expressed. Another wrote: "Captain Sandy loves Malia. Any other crew member who doesn't answer their radio is always in trouble. #BelowDeckMed."
