"I thought Wihan and I were vibing"— Tzarina chimes in on male cast member going on a date with Marina in Below Deck Down Under season 3 episode 5
In Below Deck Down Under season 3 episode 5 titled Submergency, Marina and Wihan went on a date, and Tzarina was upset over the same, considering she and Wihan had kissed recently. The cameras switched between featuring the date and showcasing the chef in bed as she processed what was happening.
"It's annoying because I thought Wihan and I were vibing and feel like I misread the situation again," she told the cameras as footage of her and Culver's connection from the previous season was played on screen.
The Below Deck Down Under season 3 star said that she didn't know why the same kind of thing always happened to her. Later in the episode, she joined Lara and Brianna for a pajama party and the three of them sat around the crew table when Wihan and Marina returned.
The cast asked Marina about the date while Wihan was in another room. She responded that she had "such a nice night." She told the Below Deck Down Under season 3 cast members that Wihan was "such a nice guy" and "so interesting." Marina also said she liked him.
"Oh my God, it's amazing. Nowadays, it's so freaking hard to find a gentleman," Marina told the cameras.
In the middle of the conversation, while talking about Wihan, Marina asked if Tzarina was trying on a new hairstyle. The latter said she didn't even know who she was and walked away.
Fans of Below Deck Down Under season 3 commented on the conversation online and criticized Marina's behavior online.
