The interior crew has been dealing with a dramatic love triangle, causing their performances to decline, not to mention the nearly deadly mistake that will soon be made by Chef Johnathan "Jono" Shillingford.
Chef Johnathan Shillingford was questioned over whether he gets fired during Below Deck Med season 9.
After several mistakes made by Chef Jono, there has been a lot of speculation over how he has been able to maintain his employment on the yacht. In a recent post on Chef Jono's Instagram, a follower of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9, @samuel_blachon, commented, "I want the tea if you're fired from below deck med or not," and included a crying emoji.
In a reply to this comment, Chef Jono posted an emoji of a dancing woman. This response is frustratingly vague and has done little to answer the question about whether or not Chef Jono is going to keep his job.
Has Chef Johnathan Improved Enough To Survive Rest Of Charter Season?
Chef Jono's Poor Performance On Below Deck Med Explained
From the very first episode of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9, Chef Jono has made it very clear how he feels about his work and being a team member with his crewmates. During their first charter, the guests asked stew Elena Dubaich for late-night snacks, which they had put on their preference sheet. Chef Jono had already gone to bed, and because Elena was unsure what to do, she woke up Chef Jono, which turned out to be a huge mistake. Not only did Chef Jono refuse to wake up and prepare snacks, but Captain Sandy also reprimanded Elena.

As Below Deck Med season 9 progressed, Chef Jono continued to make mistakes that were shocking for someone who was supposed to be a professionally trained chef. For one charter, Chef Jono served guests eggs that were cold due to the fact that they had sat out for nearly two hours before being served to the guests. He also served Captain Sandy's friends meals that were so disappointing the captain had no choice but to reprimand him. The constant mistakes kept adding up, leading to many questions about why Chef Jono has been allowed to keep his job.
Chef Jono has started to improve in order to keep his job as the sole chef on the yacht. In a recent Below Deck Med season 9 episode, the charter guests made sure to praise Chef Jono's skills in the kitchen, which was a nice change from the disappointing comments from previous guests. Chef Jono has been accused of faking his poor performance in order to create a storyline for producers. This accusation has gained more traction since Chef Jono brags about his current happy charter guests.
Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 has been fraught with mistakes, leading to a lot of drama. There is concern surrounding a reality TV show that allegedly allows its producers to heavily interfere with cast in order to create storylines. It's common knowledge that producers poke and prod here and there to get a reaction from the cast or to have them explain something further than they would like to, but they hold on to the fact that this show is supposed to be a real depiction of life for employees of a charter yacht.
Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo and is available to stream the following day on Peacock.
