Beloved star Aesha Scott has made her return to “Below Deck Med,” and fans are absolutely thrilled. This has sparked discussions about whether her comeback was a strategic move to boost ratings. The overwhelming consensus? Viewers adore Aesha, and her presence is a win regardless.
Below Deck: Aesha Scott, The Ratings QUEEN?
The question on one fan’s mind: “Does anyone else think Aesha was brought onto BDMed to raise ratings?” Many viewers agree that, well, “all casting is done for ratings.” However, Aesha is widely seen as a special case. “I think everybody else is cast in the hopes they find another gem like Aesha to boost ratings, service and general good vibes,” one commenter declared. Another fan succinctly put it, “regardless she’s a fan favorite because she’s AMMMAAAAZZZIIING” – a loving nod to Aesha’s enthusiastic way of speaking.
Below Deck What Makes Aesha a “Gem”?
Aesha’s appeal is undeniable. Fans can’t get enough of her personality. “She’s a freaking hoot, she handled the guests/job and cameras with ease, loved her,” a viewer praised.
Her ability to be “both no drama AND incredibly fun and interesting to watch is tricky,” another noted, calling her “the perfect mix of funny, personable, super capable, disarming, and kind.” Many describe her as a “girls girl, hard worker.”
Even her wonderfully unfiltered nature is a plus: “Girl can be rude, crude, lewd and totally socially unacceptable and that is why we love her!”
Below Deck: Aesha’s Unforgettable Moments!
Aesha’s authenticity shines through, creating memorable and hilarious moments. One fan shared a delightful encounter at Bravocon. “She was checking herself for a nipslip and asked us ‘is my tit out?! Oh god’ tucked it back in and and proceeded to give us the most joyful hug I’ve ever had 😆🥰,” the fan recounted.
It’s this realness, combined with her Kiwi charm (not Aussie, as some initially thought!), that endears her to so many.
Below Deck: The “Aesha Effect”
Her positive impact is so significant that her absence is felt. One viewer lamented that the current season of “Below Deck Down Under” without Aesha is “kind of a dud.” It was also mentioned that Aesha “couldn’t film DU S3, so it makes sense to try and include her elsewhere in the franchise.” Producers clearly recognize her value. As one fan stated, “they really struck gold when they got Aesha.”
Below Deck: Ride or Die for Aesha
The loyalty Aesha commands is fierce. “I’m a big Aesha Scott STAN….I’ll even fight Captain Sandy to defend her honor,” one devoted fan proclaimed. Others quickly chimed in with “I will fight that fight with you” and “We ride at dawn!”
