A Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 charter guest took the idea of a “poop deck” all too literally while on board, and second stew Kizzi Kitchener was the one to make the horrifying discovery in Episode 13.
Cameras captured Kizzi walking into a cabin for turndown service while the guests were at dinner on Night 1 of their charter. But as she entered the bathroom, viewers heard her exclaim, “Oh, I’m going to gag.” Kizzi quickly called second stew Cathy Skinner in for backup.
“He’s actually poo’ed in it. There’s a piece of poo there,” Kizzi told Cathy. “He took a s–t in the shower? Are you f–king joking me?”
Kizzi spread the word, announcing on the radio: “All crew, all crew — there’s poo in the shower.” As expected, chaos quickly ensued.

Returning to dinner service, Cathy described the smell as “diabolical” to chef Josh Bingham.
“Pissing in the shower’s questionable, but having a s–t in the shower, bro?” bosun Nathan Gallagher asked lead deckhand Joe Bradley. “On a multimillion-dollar yacht? And you’re here for two nights? And you’re taking a s–t in the shower?”
As chief stew Aesha Scott told everyone to “focus” on serving dinner, Cathy replied, “How am I meant to look them in the eye?”
Josh took a particular distaste to the stinky situation that was upstaging his cooking. “It’s affecting dinner. The meal is now. No need to be worried about post-meal cleanup,” he vented to producers.
Kizzi soon realized it was worse than she had initially thought when she noticed the guest had attempted to “shove it down the drain,” in turn making it that much more difficult to clean up.
“I really can’t even deal with this. I’m gonna get sick,” she said in her confessional. “This is f–king vile. My eyes are burning. Like, worst ever turndowns of my life. Ever.”
As the cameras returned to Kizzi cleaning up the mess, she added, “This is the worst day of my life.”
Despite trying to keep it professional during dinner service, Aesha hilariously unpacked the situation in her confessional: “Who the f—k lets a s—t fall out of their ass, in the shower, at a place where staff have to clean for you?”
She then described step-by-step what she believed to be the guest’s mindset: “Why don’t I lift up this drain cover, scoop it in there with my feet, pat it down and put the cover back on?” She added sarcastically, “No one will know.”

“I’m someone that’s got a high tolerance to rectal issues,” Aesha admitted to producers. “I’ve grown up a little bit. I’m not quite as fascinated with poop as I used to be. So like pick it up your f–king self.”
Back on the boat, Aesha took control of the chaos as she offered to handle the cleanup.
“You need to be strong for me,” she warned Kizzi. “You need to hold this bag open.”
Kizzi told Aesha, “You’re a braver person than I could ever be.”
After the cleaning, as Aesha was frantically washing her hands, she told Joe that she had just pulled out “handfuls of it.”

Understandably, Aesha found it difficult to concentrate following the fiasco. “So we’ve got the 80s-themed party, but all I can think [of] is moments ago I was fingering s–t out of a shower drain. Who the f—k did this?” Aesha said in her confessional.
She was determined to crack the case. “I think I know who it is, but getting to know these guests a bit more, I’m realizing everyone is a suspect,” Aesha said.

“Bethany really doesn’t strike me as the kind of girl who would feel comfortable leaving a giant log of s–t in her shower. Then again, it would be easy to frame Joaquin with such a crime,” Aesha pondered to producers. “Which leads us to our next suspect: Before dinner began, Sayh was frustrated at Joaquin for borrowing too many of the ’80s accessories. Could this fashion faux pas have turned into a messy motive?”
Aesha continued, “Then we’ve got Tallia and Reece. Pretty under the radar, but I’m not willing to rule anybody out. Daniel—he’s either going away to make phone calls, or he’s going away sh–tting in everybody’s showers. Alternatively, Ang—I don’t actually know why I would suspect him, but I don’t want to leave him out.”
Even the primary charter guest was a suspect in Aesha’s book. “And lastly, we have primary Carlyn. Maybe she’s the master behind this all.”
She concluded, “I feel like I’m playing a game of Clue now. Poop Clue.”
ICYMI, the Below Deck Med crew has certainly served their fair share of difficult, wild, and crazy guests in Season 10, but one charter made Nathan declare he’d “never seen anything like this.”
