Aesha Scott

The lowdown

The Below Deck Med fan favorite earned her first chief stew stripes here, surviving a season-long war with Chef Ryan and a distracted third stew in S1. Back in S2 she vowed to be tougher, ran a tight interior through two mid-season firings and got a surprise on-camera visit from boyfriend Scotty.
