After a series of difficult charter guests during Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10, stewardess Kizzi Kitchener was pleasantly surprised by the newest group to board M/Y Bravado, particularly an attractive guest named David. Sparks flew immediately between the two to the point where Kizzi even made plans to meet up with David before he departed. But to his disappointment, she ultimately decided not to take it a step further.
“Oh my god, what am I doing?” she asked herself during Episode 12. “It’s taking me getting this close to kissing a charter guest to realize that maybe I’ve taken this a little bit too far.”
It all started when David pulled Kizzi aside for a private chat during Episode 11 and asked her if she was a “thrill seeker.”
“I like to be kept on my toes,” Kizzi replied in the Dec. 8 episode. “Yeah, I’m quite feisty.”
David then asked Kizzi, “You ever break the rules?” to which she alluringly admitted, “Yeah, I’m quite bad for it.” She later added, “I just think as long as I don’t get caught, it’s fine.”
When David suggested, “You have to show me your ways,” Kizzi agreed to a meet-up. “I’ll show you my ways tomorrow night, so then when you leave, no one’s talking about it,” she said.
But when they found each other on deck during the Dec. 15 episode, Kizzi revealed to David that her boss, chief stew Aesha Scott, would likely fire her if she hooked up with a guest, which led to her decision to walk away. “Aesha would flip her s–t if I started snogging David on the deck,” Kizzi added in her confessional interview.

Despite Kizzi’s flirtations with David beginning during the Dec. 8 episode, she admitted straight away that she knew she was taking a risk with her behavior. “I know that hooking up with a guest on charter [is a] big no-no. Not allowed. But, I’ve been known to bend the rules,” she told producers.
During a preference sheet meeting, when David’s photo was first shown, Kizzi commented that he was “fit.”
“He’s a professional fighter who has traveled around the world competing in mixed martial arts,” Aesha read off the sheet, prompting Kizzi to joke, “I’m getting married.”
Kizzi tracked David soon after the guests boarded the yacht, and they both established they were “single” and bantered over their careers.
“He’s eye f—king me right now,” Kizzi commented in her confessional. “Love athletes. My ex-boyfriend’s a professional athlete. So, David, here I come. Watch out.”

David was immediately enamoured as well. “Apparently, I’m supposed to fall in love when I’m out here. Everyone says that for some reason,” he told Kizzi, who agreed, “I think you’re meant to.” The two exchanged numbers and began following each other on social media, and Kizzi flashed a heart with her hands as she left David’s room.
Kizzi, who had already kissed bosun Nathan Gallagher and deckhand Max Salvador during the charter season, joked, “Part of me thinks I should maybe start a kissing BINGO card this season. See how many people I can tick off.”
Why Aesha Scott called Kizzi Kitchener’s flirting “worrisome” on Below Deck Mediterranean
Kizzi continued her flirty banter with David during the charter, even asking to be a “ring girl” during one of his MMA fights.
“There’s something about a boxer that’s quite sexy,” Kizzi admitted to producers, adding that she’d enjoy being coupled with a professional athlete. “I quite fancy the idea of being a WAG that just goes to the games. Have a nice Range Rover and go to pilates. Seems f—king great,” she said. (Post-filming, Kizzi got engaged to rugby player Tom Whiteley.)
Although hooking up with a guest was against the rules, stewardess Cathy Skinner joked there might be a benefit to Kizzi’s charms.
“We all have our skills in this life. I’m great at organizing and polishing cutlery,” Cathy pointed out. “And Kizzi is good at being a flirt. She may as well put it to good use for the sake of the tip.”

Kizzi made a shocking statement to chef Josh Bingham when she shared, “I genuinely think I’m going to try and kiss this guest. I literally just want to get f—ked.” But Aesha overheard Kizzi’s comments and grew concerned.
“As a chief stew, this is kind of worrisome,” Aesha told producers. “But, Kizzi knows that you can have a fun flirt, but you should never let it get to the point where they think they could lean in and kiss you, and it would be okay. I’m just going to trust Kizzi to respect those boundaries.”
Aesha’s chief stew instincts turned out to be spot on when Kizzi ultimately turned down a rendezvous with David.
