Chief Steward Fraser Olender had a tough time with love his first two seasons on Below Deck. Lead Deckhand Jake Foulger led him on and kissed Fraser on Below Deck season 9, before making it clear he was more into deckhand Rayna Lindsey. Then on Below Deck season 10, while leading the interior team on superyacht St. David, fans thought maybe something could happen with gay replacement stew Tyler Walker, but he already had a boyfriend. But on Below Deck season 11, Fraser hit it off with realtor and charter guest Steven Raucci. But are Fraser and Steven still together

Below Deck said goodbye to Chef Anthony Iracane this week after Captain Kerry Titheradge fired him.
The chef was on a downward spiral for the past couple of charters, and things finally came to a head.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Below Deck fans were not happy about Anthony leaving the St. David yacht.
Despite how Below Deck fans feel, the charter season must continue, which means a new chef joins the crew.
In the next episode, we will meet the chef taking over for Anthony.
The new guy arrives in time for the upcoming charter, but the crew may have their hands full with him.
Who is the new chef on Below Deck?
Nick Tatlock takes over for Anthony in the galley beginning Monday, April 29, when he makes his Below Deck Season 11 debut. The newbie has been a chef for over 22 years, but via his confessional, we learn he’s lost his mind.

Fraser has been under fire lately for his treatment of Stew Barbie Pascual.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported this week, Fraser was blasted for how he spoke to Barbie on Below Deck.

Johnny Knoxville always seems to display an aching vulnerability, and it’s not just because he’s voluntarily endured years of intense bodily suffering as a result of his Jackass movies. So he seems the perfect choice to play the central character in Lije Sarki’s raucous black comedy that plays like a Bad News Bears featuring recovering addicts rather than precocious children.
Knoxville plays Morris, whose sad state of affairs is made immediately apparent in the opening scene: He’s shown waking up nearly naked and bloody on a park bench, having clearly been on one hell of a bender the night before. Even worse, he had apparently left his eight-year-old daughter home alone, making him realize he’s a danger to others as well as himself.
To try to get his life back on track, Morris signs up for a 90-day stint at Sweet Dreams, a rehab center...

Below Deck Season 11 has hit the halfway point with new crew members coming aboard and new rumors heating up.
Ben Willoughby was promoted to bosun after Jared Woodin was fired.
The move was something Below Deck fans saw coming from day one when it was clear Jared wouldn’t last the whole season.
It turns out though, that Ben wasn’t Captain Kerry Titheradge’s first choice to take on the bosun role.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Ben has admitted that trouble arose between him and Captain Kerry this season and greatly impacted their relationship.
All this, plus the midseason trailer, has the rumor mill going crazy that Ben gets a plane ticket home.

Cat Baugh left Below Deck on the most recent episode of the hit yachting show.
While Below Deck fans expected her departure from pretty much day one, how it went down was a bit of a surprise.
There’s no question that the stew has been struggling with the job and bonding with the St. David crew.
In fact, as Monsters and Critics reported, it was anticipated after the most recent crew night out that Cat would probably opt to leave as opposed to get fired.
That’s exactly what happened after Cat got a distress call from home and another lecture from Stew Xandi Olivier about Cat not doing her job properly.
Cat’s sudden and quick departure has raised some questions, like what finally caused her to leave.

Sure, Barbie Pascual may have an attitude problem that needs to be addressed, but there’s no question that the stew knows her stuff. It’s why the Captain tells Fraser that he should take a deep breath and try to make things work with Barbie, as her skills can be a great asset to the ship.
“One thing I’ve noticed with my conversation with Fraser is that there’s a lot of emotion involved,” Captain Kerry says in a confessional after the exchange. “If she’s good at what she does, you can utilize that. You don’t have to like her. Let’s find a way for her to shine.”

The side marks and pushback from Barbie had Fraser running to Captain Kerry Titheradge sharing he’s had enough.

But that’s where the show left things this week, with chief stew Fraser Olender informing Captain Kerry at the end of the episode that he’s already had quite enough of Barbie Pascual’s attitude. This came after Barbie spent much of the episode arguing with Fraser and being rude to fellow stew Cat Baugh because she felt she was being treated unfairly.

Below Deck stew Xandi Oliver has given fans something to talk about, and this time, that’s not a bad thing.
Xandi certainly isn’t the typical Below Deck stew, which honestly makes her enjoyable to watch.
For one, Xandi will happily do cabins or laundry instead of being on service because she’s just not that into human contact.
The Below Deck Season 11 stew also considers herself a “vampire” because she comes alive at night and hates the sun.
However, there’s more to Xandi than her yachting skills and vampire claims.
Let’s look at everything else we know about the new stew.
Who is Xandi on Below Deck?
According to her Bravo bio, Xandi hails from Pretoria, South Africa, with over six years of yachting experience. Xandi is a bona fide Bravo junkie, even joking the network raised her.

"Bones" and "Breaking Bad" represented opposing ends of the television spectrum when they aired simultaneously from 2008 to 2013 (a mere fraction of the former's 12-season run from 2005 to 2017). The consistently sizable viewership for "Bones" affirmed that for all the critical accolades showered on "Breaking Bad" and other Peak TV shows, network programming was still the undisputed champion when it came to ratings. Meanwhile, "Breaking Bad" was proof of the untapped potential of the medium when it came to unfurling a complex long-form narrative across several seasons of episodic storytelling.
Of course, those are matters for us nerds to fixate on. The stars of "Breaking Bad" were more than happy to take their share of network TV gigs in the years leading up to Vince Gilligan's watershed crime drama. For more than a decade before he started cooking meth with Walter White as Jesse Pinkman, Aaron Paul got by with one-off parts on "Beverly Hills, 90210,...

Indie producer Harry Cohn, brother Jack and their associate Joe Brandt created the CBC Film Sales Company in 1918. And on Jan. 10, 1924, the trio formed the Poverty Row studio, Columbia Pictures. According to Enclyclopedia.com, by the mid-20s “Cohn had gained reputation as one of the industry’s toughest businessmen.” That’s putting it mildly.
Though “B” movies and series such as The Three Stooges, “Blondie” and “The Lone Wolf” were the bread and butter of the studio, Cohn slowly attracted top talent and directors and turned such newcomers as Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, William Holden and Kim Novak into stars.
Frank Capra changed the fortunes of the studio. Signing with Columbia in 1928, he made 25 films for Columbia. His optimistic, common man movies attracted critics and audiences alike during the Depression. His 1934 screwball comedy “It Happened One Night,” penned by Robert Riskin and starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, swept the Oscars winning five.

Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino has committed the platform to “combat antisemitism,” insisting “there’s absolutely no place for it anywhere in the world.” But this supposed crackdown on hate is being undermined by the conspiracy theorist and far-right broadcaster Stew Peters, who was reinstated to the platform late last year. Peters is taking the Israel-Hamas war as license to promote animus toward Jews — and using Elon Musk’s platform to spread his bile.

Below Deck Mediterranean chief stew Tumi Mhlongo is seriously over some of the racist and aggressive comments she’s received on social media.
As the first Black chief stew, Mhlongo is a trailblazer for the series. But she shared being in the public eye on a predominately white show has had its drawbacks. She dragged trolls who attacked her online and recently said she has no regrets about putting them on blast.
“I think I’m also just tired of the narrative. I’ve just had it. You know, when you work so hard to be where you are and then that get discredited because of your race …it’s just offensive,” she said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Cohen referred to the comments as being made by “a**holes.” Mhlongo said the remarks were truly “disgusting.”

So it came as no surprise when second stew Natalya Scudder shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet that Brunton is the “biggest playboy” in yachting.

Captain Lee Rosbach has his Cheerios on Below Deck, but Captain Sandy Yawn has her own breakfast “must have” on Below Deck Mediterranean.
Below Deck Med Season 8 temporary chief stew Natalya Scudder, who worked for Yawn last season as a second stew, said the one thing the captain demands is freshly squeezed orange juice.
“As long as Captain Sandy has fresh orange juice in the morning she’s quite happy,” Scudder told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “Every single morning it’s fresh orange juice. If it’s not in the bridge before she wakes up, she’s not happy.”

Tumi Mhlongo Made a ‘Big Move Up’ to ‘Below Deck Med’ Chief Stew, Captain Jason Explains [Exclusive]
Captain Jason Chambers from Below Deck Down Under is eager to see how Tumi Mhlongo embraces her new role of chief stew on Below Deck Mediterranean.
Mhlongo was a second stew on Below Deck Down Under Season 1 and quickly became chief stew Aesha Scott’s right-hand person. Despite being relatively new to yachting at the time, Mhlongo was a natural leader and created gorgeous tablescapes.

Even though Mhlongo was a valued crew member, Chambers said transitioning from second to chief stew is not always an easy process.
“The season starts now, doesn’t it? I’ll have to catch up and see how she goes,” Chambers told Showbiz Cheat Sheet during an interview about Invisalign.
“I’m interested to see,” he added. “It’s a big move up to be a chief stewardess and have that responsibility. And especially on a TV show,...

Below Deck Mediterranean bosun Ruan Irving wins for the shortest amount of time as bosun on the show. Irving boarded the vessel without his original certifications and later Captain Sandy Yawn realized the photo on the paperwork was not Irving.
“You have got to be freaking kidding me. This is someone else’s picture on Ruan’s certificate. This is major,” Yawn said in a confessional. She confirmed with the Port Authority that if a crew member has fraudulent or false paperwork, the vessel could be arrested.
Irving also skirted around where he obtained the certification and as a result Yawn had to leave him on the dock.
Not having that original paperwork, in the beginning, was a huge red flag, temporary chief stew Natalya Scudder told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. All yachties should carry their original certifications on them at all times.

Below Deck loves a good cast crossover, but the show has its fair share of yachties who won’t likely return to the show ever again.
Some crew members were fired from the show for dangerous or unacceptable behavior. While others have said they won’t ever return to Below Deck. So who are the yachties the least likely to return to Below Deck?
These ‘Below Deck’ yachties will never return to the series
Some crew members behaved so badly, Below Deck producers won’t ever hire them again. Most recently, Below Deck Down Under bosun Luke Jones, who was fired for almost sexually assaulting another crew member, makes the short list of banned yachties.
Another crew member who won’t return is deckhand Pete Hunziker from Below Deck Med Season 5. During his season, Hunziker shared a racist and sexist meme on Instagram. When fans called him out, he doubled down.

Another crew member who won’t return is deckhand Pete Hunziker from Below Deck Med Season 5. During his season, Hunziker shared a racist and sexist meme on Instagram. When fans called him out, he doubled down.

Below Deck Down Under second officer João Franco has an alter ego, Jezabob, and Jezabob can cause chaos. During his first Below Deck appearance, Franco would get drunk and make extremely spicy comments to the crew.
He alienated some of the crew members, especially chief stew Hannah Ferrier and Jezabob mainly emerged during drunken nights with the crew. When he returned as bosun in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4, he muted Jezabob but still managed to offend some crew members, especially Aesha Scott. She blocked him on social media after he said her outfit resembled something a prostitute would wear.
Franco is back on Below Deck Down Under as the second officer and claimed that Jezabob won’t return. But how bad was he and what steps did he take to kick his alter ego to the curb?

Brittini Burton, a Below Deck Down Under Season 1 deckhand, said it is important to emphasize how the women came together on the boat following the sexual assault filmed during season 2.
Chief stew Aesha Scott became extremely protective of stew Margot Sisson after bosun Luke Jones came to her cabin naked while she was unconscious. He climbed into her bunk, which is when producers intervened. Horrified, Scott ended up staying with Sisson for some time while she slept to protect her. She then told Captain Jason Chambers who swiftly removed Jones from the boat. Jones was fired the next day.
Burton, who currently runs a female empowerment business, applauded how both Scott and chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph nurtured and supported Sisson after the incident. She said the display of support and protection was extremely important and should be applauded.

Two cast members of Bravo‘s Below Deck Down Under were fired during a shocking episode aired Monday, August 7. The show’s producers and Captain Jason Chambers acted swiftly following an allegation of sexual misconduct. Bosun Luke Jones was fired after climbing into Margot Sisson‘s bed naked without her consent while she was passed out drunk. Second stew Laura Bileskalne was later fired for her inappropriate behavior toward deckhand Adam Kodra the same night and her insensitive reaction to Luke and Margot’s incident. The initial incident began after many shots of alcohol were consumed while the crew was out in Cairns, Australia. Margot let it be known how drunk she was at dinner, and as they all made their way back to the boat via taxis, chief stew Aesha Scott told deckhand Culver Bradbury she’d “watch” Margot. “You should come and cuddle with me,” Luke told Margot.

Below Deck Down Under bosun João Franco may be new to the series, but not the franchise. Franco made his first appearance on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 3 as a deckhand. He returned for Below Deck Med Season 4 as bosun and has been working on racking up certifications while off the show.
Franco has been a controversial figure on Below Deck. He majorly clashed with chief stew Hannah Ferrier and bosun Conrad Empson during his first season of the series. Franco also dated one stew while flirting with another stew and got extremely messy when he would get drunk.
And while Below Deck Med Season 3 was tough and he received backlash, he returned for Below Deck Med Season 4 as bosun and as a redemption season. He patched up any conflicts he had with Ferrier and curbed his drinking. And while he definitely bickered less with the crew, he still ended up making waves.

New Below Deck Down Under bosun João Franco got a less than thrilling welcome from chief stew Aesha Scott because they majorly clashed the last time they worked together.
Franco will replace fired bosun Luke Jones and while he and Scott don’t totally hate each other, she blocked him on social media after they worked together on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4, especially after Franco referred to Scott as looking like a “Russian prostitute” during the season.
Aesha Scott said João Franco used to flirt with her ‘all the time’
Scott wanted to confront Franco at the Below Deck Med Season 4 reunion, but they didn’t film a reunion that season. At one point Franco made a derogatory comment about Scott’s outfit when the crew was out on the town.

The chief entertainment officer is in the house! Deckhand Culver Bradbury returned for another season of Below Deck Down Under, but before he could make himself at home, Captain Jason Chambers delivered a warning about drinking on charter and slacking.
Bradbury was a strong deckhand last season until he seemed to lose steam during the final Below Deck Down Under charters. However, the biggest issue was that he got drunk with the charter guests during their final night on board the boat. Chambers told Bradbury that he would have fired him if it hadn’t been the last charter.
Now that he’s back, Chambers wants to make sure he follows the rules.
