It's getting spicy in here!
Bravoholics everywhere are rejoicing as the 12th season of Below Deck is premiering just as Pride Month begins!
Fraser Olender returns as the fan-favorite Chief Stew and he's letting loose more than ever before. With steamy make out sessions and gay adult entertainers coming onto the yacht, there's plenty of shenanigans in store for the new season.
"Life is too short! What's the point in doing your job if you cannot have fun along the way? Yes, we get a bit saucy. I feel like everyone shares a piece of everyone's pie, but sharing is caring! There's lots of kissing going on. I don't regret any of it," Olender tells PRIDE.
This season is particularly extra wild as notable gay adult performers such as Cade Maddox, Jkab Ethan Dale, Tony Genius, and others crash a charter and bring all of the chaos fans would expect.
"I was excited to meet them all, but I grew very fondly of Cade Maddox. We got along really well! He was a massive flirt and that's always nice to have on a charter. I do sometimes have a soft spot for my guests, but I didn't cross any boundaries this year. I just applaud them and I love them!"
The sexy moments aren't just limited to the guests this season. Fans will also get to see the crew loving on each other more than any season prior.
"The fact that our crew this year is so LGBTQ+ friendly and it's watched by so many people, I think, is going to be fantastic. Sure, there's going to be people that come for us, but we've got to fight the good fight and we always will."
Olender also had no problem letting his hair down more than ever before as he's now a recently single man and looking to find the right partner.
"I need someone who's nothing like me! I just really love authenticity. I find it really refreshing when I meet a normal guy with good values. I'm ready for love! I feel like I really am. I think this is my summer of love!"
Below Deck premieres Monday, June 2 on Bravo. To see the full interview with Fraser Olender, check out the video at the top of the page.
