'Below Deck Med's First Guest Earned A Vacation

by Caroline Gerdes

Like Below Deck before it, when Below Deck Mediterranean premieres on Tuesday, May 3 it will follow the lives of a crew on an elite yacht. Though the spinoff will take place off the coast of Greece, one thing that's sure to carry over from the original Bravo series is the way the charter guests can sometimes steal the spotlight from the crew with their own TV-ready personalities. So before you check out the new series' premiere, you should get to know the first Below Deck Mediterranean charter guest, Christine Bullock, since she could stand out just as much as the yacht's crew.

You actually might have seen Christine on your TV before, as she's a pretty well-known fitness and lifestyle expert. In fact, she’s so renowned for so many different fitness and nutrition projects, it is amazing she even had time for a Mediterranean vacation — though she certainly deserved one. I’m curious to see what Christine is like on a vacation and until we find out in the Below Deck premiere, here are nine things to know about her active life before you see her relax with a trip on the Ionian Princess.
