FOR THE CREW MEMBER WHO RANKLED SOME OF HIS TEAMMAT DURG HIS FIRST SEASON ON BELOW DECK FOR MUTTERG SNI, THOUGH WHOLLY ACCURATE (AND VERY FUNNY) GRIEVANC UNR HIS BREATH WHEN THEY WERE OUT OF EARSHOT, THAT ALL TRACKED. BUT NOW THAT HE’S BEEN PROMOTED TO CHIEF STEW FOR THE NEW SEASON, A POSN THAT HAS SEEN PAST BELOW DECK STARS EHER SHE OR PLETELY IMPLO, HE’S EXCED—AND TERMED—TO PROVE HE’S MORE THAN THE OPN YOU MIGHT HAVE OF HIM.WELL, MOSTLY…“I’M EXCED FOR PEOPLE TO SEE MORE OF ME THIS SEASON,” HE SAYS. “I THK I WORKED TOO HARD LAST SEASON. IT’S NOT THAT I DIDN’T WORK AS HARD THIS SEASON. BUT THERE’S FELY GOG TO BE A B MORE OF MY W—AND MY STERN SI.”THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW SEASON OF BELOW DECK PROMIS A CHECKLIST OF EVERYTHG VIEWERS WANT OM A NEW SEASON’S VOYAGE BEFORE SETS SAIL: LOTS OF BOOZS. LOTS OF SEX. LOTS OF MELTDOWNS. LOTS OF CHARTER GUTS BEG SUFFERABLE. IT ALSO PROMIS SOME MORE DRAMATIC MOMENTS. AT ONE POT, CAPTA LEE ROSBACH IS HEARD ON THE LOUDSPEAKER SAYG “ABANDON SHIP!” AS SMOKE FILLS THE YACHT AND FIREFIGHTERS N ON BOARD. THERE’S ALSO A POIGNANT HT THAT THIS MAY BE CAPTA LEE’S LAST SEASON AT THE HELM. “AS A BELOW DECK FAN MYSELF, THIS SEASON HAS SO MUCH MORE, FAR MORE THAN YOU SEE THAT,” OLENR SAYS. “IT’S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT YOU SEE THE TRAILER. I’VE NEVER BEEN PART OF OR EVEN SEEN A SEASON THAT RPORAT AS MUCH AS WE DO SEASON 10.”WHILE MULTIPLE CREW MEMBERS ARE SEEN AT THE POT OF HYSTERICS A MONTAGE THAT ULD BE DUBBED “ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE,” OLENR SEEMS TO BE KEEPG HIS OL, NTENT TO SHOOT OFF HIS POISON-DART REMARKS AS THE CHAOS UNFOLDS. “YOU WORK WH YACHTI. THEY LERALLY HAVE NO BRA CELLS,” HE TELLS ONE WORKER. ANOTHER TARGET: A FLOWER, TO WHICH HE CHIS, “CAN YOU BE MORE ERECT PLEASE?”ABOUT HIS FIRST SEASON AS CHIEF STEW, HE SAYS, “I FELY WASN’T AS PREPARED AS I WANTED TO BE, BEG THROWN THE EP END OF NOT BEG EXPERIENCED BEG A CHIEF AND ALG WH A NEW VSEL AND A NEW CREW ALL ONE GO.” HIS GUIDG PRCIPLE WAS TO “TAKE A STEP BACK AND THK WHAT A CHIEF STEW THAT I’D RPECT WOULD DO.”WHEN HE WAS PREPARG FOR HIS NEW POSN, HE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT HOW KATE CHASTA, OFTEN THOUGHT ABOUT BY BRAVO FANS AS THE BT CHIEF STEW THE ANCHISE’S N, ASSERTED HERSELF ON THE SHOW. “THERE IS NOTHG LS ATTRACTIVE OR MOTIVATNAL THAN HAVG A CHIEF THAT DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT OR HOW TO GET ANYWHERE. SO NFINCE IS KEY FOR SURE.” THERE’S NO TALKG TO A ST MEMBER OF BELOW DECK WHOUT DISCSG WHAT’S BEE AN EXTREME FASCATN AMONG THE SHOW’S FANBASE: HOW DO PEOPLE DRK THIS MUCH AND SURVIVE, LET ALONE WORK THE NEXT DAY? IT N SEEM TO VIEWERS THAT THE CREW MEMBERS ARRIVE FOR FILMG WH A BACKUP LIVER. OR, AT LEAST, SOME MIRACLE CURE SO THAT A HANER, IF NOT GONE PLETELY, N AT LEAST BE D ENOUGH TO SURVIVE SERVG MANDG GUTS ON A YACHT THAT IS ROCKG BACK AND FORTH WH THE WAV.“YOU WORK SO TENSELY FOR A SHORT PERD OF TIME, AND YOU DON’T GET ANY RELAXATN ON A CHARTER,” HE SAYS. “SLEEP ISN’T AN OPTN. SO THE MOMENT WE HAVE A SEND TO CLOCK OFF, YOU WANT TO LET GO. MOST YACHTI CHOOSE TO DO THAT WH A DRK THEIR HAND, AND I’M CERTALY ONE OF THOSE.” IT MAK FOR AN TERTG, PERHAPS NFG PERSONAL/PROFSNAL WORK DYNAMIC. “I’VE WORKED WH MANY PEOPLE BEFORE WHO I SPISE WORK BUT ADORE OUT OF . YOU’LL SEE SOME OF THAT THIS SEASON.”DRKG TOO MUCH, OR, AS HE PUTS , “HAVG TOO MUCH FUN OUT OF WORK,” WAS THE THG THAT MA HIM WCE MOST WHEN WATCHG HIS TIME BACK ON SEASON 9. HE DON’T REGRET , BUT THKS MAYBE WASN’T A GOOD IA TO IMBIBE SO MUCH, NSIRG “I END UP BEG A LTLE B HERENT AND GET EXTREME MCLE RELAXATN, WHERE I MAKE NO SENSE AND LOOK A B BIZARRE.” (THAT MAKEOUT SSN WH ST MATE AND GOOD IEND JAKE FOULGER, OTHER WORDS: NOT A REGRET.)OLENR SAYS HE’S EXCED TO WATCH THE NEW SEASON BEE, “WHETHER ’S TRMA OR NOT, I’VE ERASED A LOT OF OM MY MEMORY.” AND HE’S AWARE OF THE SIGNIFINCE OF HIS POSN THIS SEASON, NOT JT HIS REER, BUT WHAT MEANS FOR HIS DTRY AND FOR VIEWERS AT HOME. BRAVO “IT WAS HARD WHEN I JOED THE DTRY AND DIDN’T ONLY NOT HAVE THE NFINCE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOG, BUT THEN ALSO BEG SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TO THE MAJORY OF YACHTI OUT THERE,” HE SAYS. “IT MAK YOU WORK HARR. IT MAK YOU IMPROVE YOURSELF MORE. BUT I WANT TO STRIVE TOWARDS A WORLD WHERE THE ISSU AREN'T ISSU.”“I DON’T TEND TO TALK ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE OR WHO I WANT TO BE A RELATNSHIP OR DATE OR GO HOME,” HE NTU. “IT REALLY HAS NOTHG TO DO WH HOW HARD I WORK AND AND AND HOW MUCH I RE ABOUT THE JOB. AND I THK WE SHOULD PUT LS PRSURE ON THAT.”STILL, THE FACT THAT THIS IS SUCH A MAJOR MOMENT FOR LGBT REPRENTATN IS POWERFUL. STRANGELY ENOUGH, GIVEN THE MOGRAPHIC THAT MAK UP A LARGE SWATH OF THE BRAVO FANBASE, HE BE ONE OF THE MORE VISIBLE GAY FIGUR ON-SCREEN ON THE WORK.“I’M VERY, VERY PROUD AND VERY HONORED, AND I’M GOG TO DO MY BT TO REPRENT THE MUNI AS BT I N,” HE SAYS. “WE’RE MAKG HUGE STRIS FORWARD. AND I THK IF I N DO THIS, THEN ANYONE N DO .” KEV FALLON

Strangely enough, given the mographic that mak up a large swath of the Bravo fanbase, he be one of the more visible gay figur on-screen on the work.
