Monday’s episode of Below Deck Mediterranean, known as Below Deck Med for short, earned a Season 7 high in the ratings according to just-released numbers.
Episode 5, which saw Captain Sandy Yawn fire bosun Raygan Tyler, earned a strong 0.29 in the P18-49 demo and 1,121,000 live viewers, the largest audience for Season 7 by far, according to Nielsen.

Below Deck Med Season 7 hitting a ratings high will be much-welcomed news for Bravo after the season has got off to a somewhat rocky start.
Once a ratings guarantee for the network, Below Deck Med Season 7 failed to hit over 1 million live viewers until Episode 4, which earned a 0.27 in the demo and 1,076,000 viewers just last week. The demo, however, still hasn’t topped a 0.30 but with numbers like this (and even more drama to come on the season), expect that to change in the coming weeks.
The episode also heavily featured the back-and-forth between Chef Dave White and Natasha Webb, who had their relationship (?) implode as Bravo cameras rolled on a night out with the HOME crew. The two have gotten the rest of the crew involved in their dynamics and the drama looks to continue next week.
Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7 stars Captain Sandy Yawn, Mzi “Zee” Dempers, Natasha Webb, Dave White, Raygan Tyler, Natalya Scudder, Kyle Viljoen, Storm Smith, and Jason Gaskell and airs Mondays on Bravo. Episodes are also available to stream a week early on Peacock.
