About this episode
With Below Deck Mediterranean back on the air, it is definitely time to check in with the one and only Anastasia Surmava. Connecting all the way from Sri Lanka, Anastasia took time off from running her Yoga Studio & Cafe to chat with the Rope. We last saw Anastasia on the high seas, doing double duty as Third Stew and Chef. For all of those wondering, she has been putting her chef skills to good use during quarantine with her fabulous IG videos. That and spending time with her boyfriend. Anastasia opens up about the on line bullying she received after her time on Below Deck Med and the double standard of being a strong female presence as a Below Deck “Chef“. Of course, no below deck convo would be complete without a full on discussion of Kate Chastain, The Captains Lee and Sandy and the newest franchise, Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
