After completing his first full season as aBelow Deckchief stew, Fraser is looking to change things up in his leadership style on Season 11."I didn't realize that becoming a chief stew meant that I had to become a therapist," Fraser says on the premiere, as he's seen comforting a fellow stew on deck. "But, I'm coming back with an iron fist."
His new lease on leadership may cause some conflicts with new stew, Barbie. The two can be seen having an intense exchange one moment, and in another, Barbie opens up about her charmed upbringing.
"I grew up with three nannies. One would cook, one would clean, [and] one would do my hair," she explains to the other crew members during a dinner out. "I'm a huge daddy's girl, for sure," she adds in an interview, before saying that she's also "real as f-ck."
