After starting off the charter season two stews down and following some drama with the Bosun, Below Deck Mediterranean Season 8 is only going to get more intense — according to stew Natalya Scudder, that is.

The interim chief stew, who will be replaced by Tumi Mhlongo once her visa issues are resolved, dished about the season on the September 25 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

During WWHL, Natalya opened up about all-things Below Deck Med-related — from her friendships with Home alums from Season 7, to her status with the Season 8 cast members, to the other Below Deck yachties she's looking forward to meeting.

Along with Captain Sandy Yawn and fellow stew Kyle Viljoen, Natalya is one of the three returning Below Deck Med yachties from Season 7 who is also appearing on Season 8. After clashing with chief stew Natasha Webb on Season 7 (who had a pre-show boatmance with Chef Dave White), Natalya revealed where she stands with the two today.

"I do not have any relationship with Natasha, but I do have a good friendship with Dave, but they're not — I don't think they are on good terms," she said on WWHL about the exes.

Natalya was also asked about whether there's anyone from the Below Deck universe she would be interested in working alongside. She picked Below Deck Med alum and Below Deck Down Under chief stew Aesha Scott.

"Aesha, for sure," she said, because "I hear very good things about her, so."

Though Natalya has yet to officially meet the interior team crew member in person, she noted that they "have spoken back and forth online" before. She also shared that they "should be meeting up in the next couple of months."

Natalya would love to work with Aesha, and she's also looking forward to meeting two other Below Deck alums.

"She's great and so is Hayley [De Sola Pinto]. I'm excited to meet Fraser [Olender]," Natalya added about the two, who most recently appeared on Below Deck Season 10. "We're like a community as well on Instagram, so we're like a family. But there's a lot of us that don't like each other as well."
