‘Below Deck Med’ Season 6: Captain Sandy, Malia White Outrage Continues as Fans React to Bravo Premiere
Captain Sandy and Malia White returned for Below Deck Mediterranean Season 6. However, there’s a dark cloud over the new season of the Bravo reality series. Many fans have expressed their discontent over the two stars returning to the franchise. As the new season premiered on the cable network, it was hard to overlook the latent backlash overshadowing the show.
Why are fans upset at Captain Sandy and Malia White?
Bravo fans are some of the most loyal ones out there right now. Viewers that take time off to invest in the shows from the cable network take the storylines seriously. Below Deck is one of the most successful franchises that are on the level of The Real Housewives. There have been many spinoffs over the course of the years that have been equally a hit with viewers and one of them is called Below Deck Med.
Season 5 of the show proved to be controversial when Captain Sandy made the decision to fire Hannah Ferrier, a stewardess that had been part of the crew since the beginning. Ferrier was a fan favorite and her exit was devastating to the viewers that had been following her from the first season.
Ferrier was let go when co-star White tattled about her having a CBD pen within her belongings. There are strict rules and Captain Sandy believed Ferrier violated them and opted to fire her, which resulted in a backlash from fans.
