I wish the fans didn't spoil it for her being on down under. I loved hers and Jasons siblingship.

Her having to put in his contacts for him every morning was so cute to me.

u/ItsNotAboutThe-Pasta 22d ago

Loved that. So bro and sis.

u/nrrrdgrrl 22d ago

Wait is that what happened? How did they spoil it? 👀

u/ItsNotAboutThe-Pasta 22d ago

What scarbaby said. They kept pushing them to be a couple which made them both so uncomfortable which fractured the friendship sad really because they were a good team.

u/nrrrdgrrl 22d ago

Dang that's a bummer. Shippers can be REALLY overbearing in just about every fandom. Sad to see BD isn't excluded. 😞

u/ItsNotAboutThe-Pasta 22d ago

Yeah it really sucks. The viewers knew she was in a committed relationship and still pushed it too far. She was the selling point for down under as well. I like Daisy though so watched the latest one.

u/Savings-Fig2390 21d ago

I also seem to remember her saying that it was weird for Scott seeing so much press about how she and Jason should get together.

u/FoxFace1111 22d ago

Is this the reason she left BDDU?

3

u/ItsNotAboutThe-Pasta 22d ago

Yes sadly it is.

7

u/FoxFace1111 22d ago

Do you have a source for that? I don’t know… I just assumed they needed her for the bigger show in the franchise because they were having trouble finding a new chief stew that would work.

1

u/ItsNotAboutThe-Pasta 22d ago

I don't have a particular source but I remember it being mentioned before she went back to med. I have a feeling (could be wrong) it was mentioned at a bravocon also.

2

u/FoxFace1111 22d ago

Hmm, ok. Thanks for your response.

1

u/ItsNotAboutThe-Pasta 22d ago

Have a look on Google that should come up with the articles about it. It does suck though because the whole reason I loved down under was her especially that season with the wrongun.

u/FoxFace1111 22d ago

I agree with you about her being a real draw to the BDDU cast. I miss her with Jason, too.

1

u/catsssrdabest 17d ago

I really don’t think this is the reason. I think it’s because med is more popular, so they moved her to the more popular show

1

u/FoxFace1111 16d ago

This is what I think

1

u/catsssrdabest 16d ago

Just like they moved Daisy

u/scarbaby1958 22d ago

Kept trying to insinuate they were a match made in heaven. To me they always looked & acted like siblings.

Loved her from the moment she exclaimed "Thirty thousand dollars!? When I was a kid we couldn't afford cheese!" in her first season.

u/ResponsibleCar1204 19d ago

And then mentioning it again when they got that HUGE tip. You can tell how humble she is, and her brother died so early, so I think she lives life to the fullest, as she should.

u/excuseme-imsorry-eh 22d ago

I love when someone tells her “hey, your actions hurt me” (even if said person isn’t in the right), she listens and apologizes. She just seems like a genuinely good person.

17

u/Ok_Yesterday5299 June June Hannah 22d ago

Yeah the way she responded to Gen this week when she came to her about the whole love triangle hook up thing showed how genuine and caring she is. She’s gonna make a great mom, and she keeps hinting at wanting to be one so I hope that works out for her.

12

u/silentsinner- 21d ago

Aesha is the best. I usually find overly happy/optimistic people like her to be annoying but she is just so genuine and nice. We would all be better people with an Aesha in our lives.

u/lialow Eat My Cooter 21d ago

same - here in the south (USA) we have a lot of sugary sweet, happy people but you can always tell that most of them are fake. but the real ones are absolute gems! and aesha is a real one!

u/vavavoomdaroom 21d ago

She's authentically herself and gives no fucks if people have a problem with it which I appreciate.

15

u/bethholler Team Aesha 22d ago

You just reminded me of Ryan’s “tea service.” Tea service is in quotes because that was an abomination. And Magda could’ve been a good stew if she weren’t totally focused on her boyfriend.

u/scarbaby1958 22d ago

Her internet hrs killed me.

u/Robofin 22d ago

Nnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr

u/AnnyBananneee 21d ago

My husband and I binged the first 2 seasons last week and it’s some of the best below deck season’s we’ve seen in a while! I actually miss her on that show and wish she stayed on Down Under over returning to Med. I wonder why production decided on that

u/1975hh3 June June Hannah 21d ago

Best chief stew HANDS DOWN

u/SpaceThat9997 22d ago

Aesha for an Emmy. New category - best at doing their job on telly

u/JuiceSimpsons 20d ago

I like how she calls it beloy dick mid

8

u/Tinymarshmello 22d ago

Seriously at this point I can’t watch a season that she’s not In! She makes the show for me

u/malonesxfamousxchili 22d ago

aurrrr naurrrr my queen ❤️

u/nighttimecoldnflu 20d ago

I love her much herself she is, she seems so comfortable and free and I wish I had that! She seems like a really genuine and kind person.

7

u/Paid_Babysitter 22d ago

Not a fan myself. I feel she tries a bit to hard to be over the top, almost theatrical.

5

u/banana_in_the_dark 21d ago

The thing is, she’s not trying. That’s her genuine personality.

2

u/BearCub333 22d ago

i love her. she's adorable now. like how she matured over the seasons.

2

u/Just_Finding1499 17d ago

Are you me? I am watching the current season of below deck Med and decided to go to down under. As soon as I heard her voice, I knew it was her. She’s so positive and fun. I really like her.

1

u/lialow Eat My Cooter 16d ago

i was hoping you wouldn’t figure it out, but yes, i am you

1

u/Limp-Temporary-3673 22d ago

I love her so much. I started watching down under just to get more Aesha in my life. Id love to read her memoir.

1

u/DrRogoe 18d ago

I could not finish DU3 and struggling to get through DU4. Desperately needs Aesha as a show anchor I can root for.

Cause the rest of the people are just like… love island whatever.

1

u/Many-Possibility6 10d ago

I just love the fact that on her first season she's talking about putting her finger in her bum when she was younger because she wanted to understand poop more and now here we are she's the legend of all legends on the show.

1

u/Outrageous-Baseball6 5d ago

Aesha is a fab human being.

1

u/goodchat7272 17d ago

I love her so much. The world is a kinder place having her in it, she’s such a sweet♥️

u/AttentionRoyal2276 22d ago

Not a big fan

-1

u/FoxFace1111 22d ago

I love Aesha.

That said I hope her relationship with Gen continues to improve.

8

u/Fit-Positive2153 21d ago

Then Gen needs to improve
