'Below Deck' Season 10: Fans slam primary guest Gigi Fernandez for showing off her gold medals

'Is it normal for a gold medalist to just carry gold medals around from decades ago?' wonders a fan

RODNEY BAY, SAINT LUCIA: Primary guests on 'Below Deck' Season 10 have always been the center of attention as the entire planning revolve around them. Well, this time it seems the guest on board, Gigi Fernandez, has been catching a lot of attention with her two gold medals. Fans on the internet are slamming Gigi for taking too much Bravo's screen time for explaining all the medals she has won for tennis.

Gigi is a retired Puerto Rican pro tennis player for America. She has her name carved in a doubles player. Gigi is the winner of the 17 major double titles. Therefore, it's normal for her to often explain her winnings story on the deck. But it seems to not be so normal for the viewers. 'Below Deck' fans are taking over the internet to slam the primary guest for talking too much about her job in the storyline. The other thing that seemed to be pretty awkward for the fans is Gigi bringing her medal on the vacation. Moreover, fans wonder if someone does something for a living, do they do the same on the vacation? Gigi does that.

A fan wrote, "Does the primary always travel around the world with her priceless gold medal?" "I think Gigi won a gold medal? Not sure, though," another fan took to the internet to thrash gold medalist Gigi. 

The backlash didn't stop here. It seemed fans have a lot of questions to ask the guest. One wrote, "Does everyone casually travel with their Olympic medals?" Another wondered, "Is it normal for a gold medalist to just carry gold medals around from decades ago?" Furthermore, a fan indirectly slammed Gigi, saying, "If you played for a living, would you do it on vacation? Maybe it's different than a job-job." "Did they really bring their gold medals on vacation? Do they always carry them, bc that's weird," wrote another fan.
