Aesha Scott is closing out season 11 of Below Deck Mediterranean on a high note. The chief stew calls it her happiest and most fun season yet, and she’s giving credit where it’s due: her crew. She named Kayley Smith, Kat Johnston, Kizzi Kitchener, and chef Joy Lefaucheur as her dream interior team, and she says her leadership style comes down to emotional intelligence. Read your people, adapt your approach, earn their respect. It’s a philosophy that’s carried her through five seasons with Captain Sandy Yawn and two with Captain Jason Chambers.
Looking ahead, Aesha’s got a wish list. She wants to move into hosting. She wants to appear on The Traitors, and her pitch is already legendary: making her a traitor would be the funniest thing ever because she’d be terrible at it. She’s also thinking about starting a family with husband Scott Dobson, who she married in March 2026, though she knows yachting and pregnancy don’t exactly go together.
And then there’s the Summer House crossover fans have been waiting for. Aesha says the cast’s work ethic and respect made the whole experience feel like hanging out with friends rather than filming. If that’s the vibe, we’re already seated. Which crossover would you rather see: Aesha on The Traitors, or the Summer House crew back on a yacht?
