Kyle Viljoen in Season 7 of Below Deck Mediterranean
Below Deck Mediterranean fans have a love-hate connection with Kyle Viljoen. They despise him because of his association with Natasha Webb, but they admire him because of his lovable personality. Kyle nearly discovered his soul partner in one of Season 7’s episodes.
A charter visitor wooed Kyle called Frank Fay in episode 8. The guy was on the point of violating guidelines that may have resulted in his dismissal. Fans were heartbroken by Frank and Kyle’s departure since their love looked real at the time. However, the plot was abandoned when they said their goodbyes.
Meanwhile, the last episode of Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 will be broadcast next week, with Kyle returning to the boat. In the previous episode, he departed after injuring his ankle.

As a result, he was shown reuniting with his team in a teaser of the future episode. Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 premieres on Bravo on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
