Below Deck’s Barbie Pascual Puts Fraser Olender On Blast As She Considers Quitting

Summary Barbie is frustrated with Fraser's treatment, leading to a showdown in the upcoming episode of Below Deck season 11.

Ben and Sunny are facing relationship issues, with tensions rising over conflicting emotions and lack of clarity.

As drama heats up between crew members, relationships are tested and tensions reach an all-time high on St. David.

Below Deck season 11’s Barbie Pascual has struggled throughout the charter season, but she’s putting Chief Stew Fraser Olender on blast for the way he’s been treating her throughout the season. While Barbie may have been struggling to keep her cool during the last episode of Below Deck season 11, she’s working hard to turn things around moving forward. While Barbie has been able to work through the issues she had with Cat Baugh earlier in the season, the tension between her and Fraser has been consistently growing as the St. David has continued its rocky, unpredictable charter season.

“I just want to apologize for all the **** that happened today"

During a preview clip from the next episode of Bravo’s Below Deck season 11, their tension finally comes to a boil as Barbie puts Fraser on blast in front of the rest of the crew. Fraser first shared that he feels, “Every time I’ve spoken to her and I’ve tried to reason with her, she’s said no. She’s said, ‘no, but you’re the problem,’” Fraser explained. Both Xandi and Fraser shared examples of Barbie’s drama, though neither was exactly impactful. “If you don’t want to be here, no one’s forcing you to,” Xandi said.

Elsewhere, Barbie and Kylie Stillie were talking about the idea of her quitting, but she decided not to. After some rest, the crew got ready to go out to dinner and during a toast, Barbie spoke up. “I just want to apologize for all the **** that happened today,” Barbie shared. “Everybody here knows that there’s **** going on between me and Fraser…we have to figure this out, and I’m really sorry it’s affected everyone.” Everyone took Barbie’s toast as a passive-aggressive knock against Fraser, who felt it was offensive and got even more irritated.

Elsewhere, Ben Willoughby and Marie “Sunny” Marquis were dealing with some conflicting emotions. While Sunny was struggling seeing Ben being handsy with the new stew Paris Field, Ben didn’t understand what was happening between them. “It doesn’t have to be titled that we’re an item for you to respect the fact that we’re sleeping with each other and we’re something,” Sunny explained. The pair admitted they liked each other, but Ben refused to say they were dating which left Sunny angry. Sunny wasn’t happy with the resolution, as she wound up crying in Barbie’s bunk later on that night.

While Barbie and Fraser’s problems were coming to a boil, Ben and Sunny’s issues seemed to be just beginning to brew. In the preview for the upcoming episode, the two conflicts will likely begin to converge, as Sunny and Barbie have a supportive, sweet friendship. For Barbie, dealing with Fraser will be difficult, but if the pair can have an honest discussion about the way they work together, they could make strides in their relationship. For Sunny, her relationship with Ben has been consistently rocky, but being open and honest with her feelings could push Ben to do the same.

With Below Deck season 11’s drama finally beginning to heat up, the storylines moving into the last stretch of episodes are already fascinating. While Ben and Sunny will have to navigate their boatmance and try to see if they can make things work, the tension on the interior team has been reaching an all-time high. With Fraser and Xandi on one side and Barbie on the other, Paris may find herself in the middle of an all-out Below Deck war.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo, then streams the following day on Peacock.
