One newbie joined the show to heal
Calling all Bravo stans, Below Deck Mediterranean season 10 has welcomed not one but two fresh faces, and they’re already causing ripples aboard the Bravado!
While the charter guests are busy demanding midnight nachos and impromptu sea-swims, the interior team is navigating friendships, flirtations and life-changing backstories.
Let’s get acquainted with the newest stews making waves, one bringing British theatre-school sass and latte-art finesse, the other arriving with a heartfelt story and a whole lot of interior ambition.

Kizzi Kitchener isn’t your typical reality TV recruit, she’s a British interior pro with a flair for performance.
Hailing from Ipswich, England, Kizzi trained in musical theatre before pivoting to yachting, where she’s now worked for about three years.
Her Bravo bio pegs her as a Taurus born on May 8, with a love for spicy margaritas and fun girls’ nights.
According to Decider, Kizzi calls season 10 an “emotional roller-coaster,” revealing that while she knew how to juggle demanding guests, she didn’t anticipate the pressure of nonstop filming or the quick-fire pace of yacht life.
With her theatre background, she’s quick on her feet and always camera-ready, whether she’s coordinating themed nights or diffusing onboard tension with sharp British wit.
She’s also candid about her personal life. Kizzi told Decider she was dating someone back home during filming and wanted to stay honest about that, even while being naturally flirty and sociable.
Onboard, Kizzi’s dynamic with Aesha Scott and fellow stew V has been a highlight. She brings confidence without arrogance and keeps morale high even when things go off-script (which, on a Bravo yacht, is practically every day). Between her quick banter, creative service skills and upbeat attitude, Kizzi is shaping up to be one of the standout newcomers this season.
Meet Victoria ‘V’ SanJuan

Victoria ‘V’ SanJuan is bringing fresh-faced charm and emotional depth to Below Deck Med.
Born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, V is a Virgo (September 5) who joined the Bravado crew with four years of yachting experience and a long list of creative talents, including painting, scuba diving, and making what she proudly calls “divine guacamole,” per Bravo.
Unlike her British crewmate, this is V’s first superyacht job, a fact she shared in an early episode while chatting with Chief Stew Aesha Scott.
But her story goes far deeper than work experience. Before joining the show, V endured the devastating loss of her boyfriend in a diving accident, a tragedy she opened up about during filming.
According to Entertainment Now, she saw joining Below Deck Med as a way to heal and rediscover purpose, saying she wanted to “channel grief into growth.”
Her openness has made her instantly relatable. V doesn’t hide her emotions, but she also shows grit, throwing herself into long shifts, tricky service requests, and the occasional deck flirtation.
