Below Deck Down Under star Captain Jason chimes on Aesha Scott's absence from season 3
In his interview with E! News, Captain Jason discussed Aesha Scott's absence from the newly released season 3. As viewers know, Scott appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean alongside Captain Sandy.
Bravo fans have been missing Aesha this season. Captain Jason commented that Aesha had "something to finish off," which might be why she didn't return for season 3.
"I would say Aesha had a story to tell, she had something to finish off. Her and Sandy get on really well. They work well together. Crew leave and she had to go and do that, which is fine. She's always welcome back," he said.
Despite not staying in touch, Jason said he knew what Aesha was up to. He revealed that the Below Deck Mediterranean cast member was "busy" with her entrepreneurial venture and engagement. The Below Deck Down Under captain said he hoped to reunite with Aesha soon.
"Our paths will cross soon. We're in total different directions. We used to look forward to working together and we will connect again soon, I'm sure, especially hopefully before BravoCon. But looking forward to seeing her."
Replacing Aesha Scott on Below Deck Down Under season 3 is a new chief stew, Lara Rigby. Apart from Aesha Scott, Jason praised Lara, mentioning that she was experienced and had "high standards." He said that although Lara was unaware of the show format, she "beats that with her happiness and her vibrance."
"Lara brings in a hell of a lot of experience, but look, when things aren't going your way, we're going to see some drama," he explained.
Towards the end of his interview, Jason hinted that fans can expect a lot of drama in this season.
Episode 2 of Below Deck Down Under season 3 will be released exclusively on Bravo TV on Monday at 8/7c and the next day on Peacock TV.
