She quit but also left abudding boatmancewith Brunton on simmer.

“So I get this was probably the intent not to tell me about Natalya.

But I’m not ready to face her tonight.”

Indeed, Kyle is acting like more nervous than shocked when Natalya rocks up to the party.

“Oh my God!”

The rest of the crew also looks stunned, and less than thrilled to see their former stew.

TheBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 8 finale airs on Monday, Jan. 22, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
