Fraser Olender is not afraid to rock the boat.
That's something that's very clear in this sneak peek at Below Deck's Feb. 13 episode, which picks up after the Chief Stew's heated confrontation with Captain Sandy Yawn. The stern talking-to included Sandy accusing the interior crew of slacking on the job and telling Fraser to "stop talking" when he attempted to defend his team, including Stew Alissa Humber.
"I don't know what's worse, her telling me to stop speaking or to tell me that my crew aren't doing any work," he says in the preview. "I know we're doing work."
The Bravo star adds, "I'm in actual shock."
Meanwhile, Sandy has no regrets about laying down the law aboard the , while filling in for Captain Lee Rosbach.
"I have a lot of experience, I've been doing this for over 30 years. I expect my crew to respect the positions and their leaders," Sandy explains in a confessional. "You must respect the chain of command. It's important to be there for Captain Lee, but Alissa and Fraser having absolutely no regard for authority is very frustrating."
Later, while venting to Alissa, Fraser states, "I'm not going to be silenced by someone who's not seeing the picture. I don't care. Fire me."
As for Alissa's take on the situation, she says in a confessional, "Fraser is extremely upset because we work so f--king hard. We get off later than the deck team every single f--king day. I honestly think she's delusional."
Once they've calmed down and their latest charter guests have left the yacht, Sandy sits the entire crew down to share a warning.
"It's been stressful and these walls are thin," she says. "I can hear everything. Everything, and so can the guests. If you got a complaint about someone take it down in your cabin."
See how the tensions play out when Below Deck airs Monday at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
