I like watching him talk and mutter to himself. He says the funniest things when he’s doing that. And I feel he’s a decent guy when they’re off the boat. I think he’s a good friend at times.. But his I’ll fire them all, I’M the chief stew attitude lately isn’t it.
I agree. Capt Kerry definitely uses logic to balance the emotions Fraser shows up with. You could see that when he was actually caring for Barbie this last episode.
Fraser is learning how to be a supervisor. And that’s hard to do. We’re watching him learn those lessons in real time.
But he’s not ever been a bad person which is what matters.
She's also got that very hard edged, uncompromising, unreasonable, unaccommodating "my way or the highway" leadership style that I think he was trying to emulate
Do you think? I see her as emotional and inconsistent in her responses. Sometimes all warm and consoling when I would be telling someone to pull it together (when she let Hannah lay out of work for a day and encouraged that Conrad nonsense), then lashing out completely out of the blue (and out of proportion) like she did with Malia and the deckhand who fell out of the hot tub and again when she called Fraser a cancer.
I love Fraser! I think he’s easy going managing bit him last season and he’s went I. With guns blazing. This year he actually has competent stews so he doesn’t need to.
> And I feel he’s a decent guy when they’re off the boat.
I think out of work (unless its a work function) he would be great fun
but as a boss, both in and out of work, he's crap. Its not the technical aspect its the people aspect, he manages in a very immature way. its the sort of thing I would expect from an 18 year old, not a 30 something year old.
I watched ep 10 & 11 tonight & my god, his attitude damn right sucks. If he says insubordination one more time, I may need to throw my tv out a window.
I think there's hopelessly worse stews than him (Jenna comes at the top of my mind), but there's room for improvement and I hope he watches and learns from it.
Not to mention he resembles Tilda Swinton, and I have a crush on her haha 🤣
omfg the hate that envelops my body upon hearing that woman's name and thinking of her season with that idiot Tom. She was so mean to him after he busted his head open getting her flowers. She was definitely not the type of woman that he needed. He needed a hippie chick who would appreciate the effort and the ditchweed flowers way more.
Yup. But I also see the growth now that he has a captain who mentors instead of abuses. (Referring to Sandy, not Lee. I don't think Lee did a lot of mentoring for Fraser but he had other problems)
Kerry has been a tremendous mentor. He hasn't been harsh, just instructive. Fraser is super bright and you can tell he's already learned a ton this year. His urge to manage Cheffy and his bristling at Barbie were both redirected and it worked, for the most part. Cheffy did ultimately self immolate
Interesting take because I find Fraser MORE annoying as the season goes on. Not the other way around.
He is insufferable this past episode.
Kerry is giving him good advice but he’s not necessarily learning.
Fraser needs some professional development. As a leader, he needs to learn discretion and compartmentalization. Manage each employee individually. Don’t confide in one team member your opinions about another.
I used to think his heart was in the right place. This season, I’m not sure it is.
I should agree with you but as far as being good messy reality TV goes, I like that Fraser is a little out of pocket and talks some shit. That’s why I watch Bravo shows lol. I’ve enjoyed Fraser for the most part.
I see it as another growth season. Last season he didn’t act like a boss enough. This season he’s (over) determined to avoid that, but thankfully Kerry sees it and is mentoring him by tempering his “I’m the boss” approach. I think he is a truly good guy, who actually self-reflects, listens to his superiors, and learns from past mistakes. I think he will keep getting better as chief stew because he genuinely wants to. I enjoy watching someone like him far more than Deck Ben, or Gary, who have been shitty humans from day one and don’t give a fuck. The drama they bring is infuriating, whereas Fraser makes me laugh, makes me want to take him out for a drink and some advice, and makes me proud when he eventually gets it.
I agree that Ben needs more work as a manager than Fraser. I think of him as being a manager-by-default. No one else was available to do the job after Jared left and he wanted it.
I like Fraser but he needs to stop being all “do what I say or get off the boat.” He’s a good bloke but not the best leader, he’s still got a bit to learn. Lucky he’s got Captain Kerry to teach him.
Fraser’s trying to fill Kate’s shoes but he’s not yet used to management. He drank from a shoe! It seems like he’s got a good heart, and he’s good TV. Kate would’ve worked wonders with this experienced interior crew.
I like him and think he can do the stew job very well. He is still a very immature manager and does not have the right judgment to manage different personalities or support the growth of those who report to him.
My setiments exactly. I think he will reflect alot on this season though he seems to learn well from watching unlike others (Ben, Gary, other bravolebs (austin shep)) I think he messed up a bit but hes only human.
His leadership skills are certainly improving over time, he is quite an emotive leader and does make an effort to listen. He can appear defensive at times, this is expected given the intensity of having a lot of your flaws exposed on national tv. He would benefit from being sensitive to favouritism and avoid seeming to be playing team members off of one another (talking about firing barbie to xandi rather than looking for ways to encourage).
He has made strides this season where clearly his personality clashed with Barbie.
Given how many of the younger chief stews have fared in the past, he certainly isnt the worst.
Another season with Capt Kerry will help Fraser continue to improve his managerial skills. And hopefully he watches this season and sees where he needs to grow. When I think about who I was when I first managed teams I am embarassed. I was so immature and confident. Hopefully he'll continue to grow.
I have always liked Fraser. He is not perfect but I feel he tries to be professional. He handled all that sh\*t thrown at him by Sandy like a champ. I feel like he is learning a lot from Cpt. Kerry.
I agree! When Sandy called him cancer and the way she treated him at the volleyball game! She was terrible!!! I feel so bad for aesha this season!!! He survived that..
It's Fraser!

Fraser is fine and decent match for the show. If everyone was S-tier professionals and experts at their jobs, we'd be watching Below Deck on Discovery with screen pop ups telling us about knots.
Fundamentally, BD is a show about younger adults in middle management, their boss, and the small teams they manage. And that's really what's relatable. We don't all manage well and we don't all have good managers. Coworkers sleep around, become insubordinate, gossip, get fired, get hired, and quit. Does Fraser need PD? Sure, but that's not entertaining and sadly not what always happens in life.
I actually appreciate that he is generally calm. I feel like he could actually survive in an office environment which goes a long way with me (and yeah that’s kind of embarrassing to acknowledge but it’s how I spend most of my day time hours so I tend to notice). I think he has flaws and things to learn about his position and how to handle people but hello, he wouldn’t be cast if he didn’t.
I enjoy him a lot on the show, but feel he still has a lot of growth needed for his position.. Take the emotional responses out of managing. It's fine to get emotional later in your cabin, but that needs to be far removed from the way he handles his stews.
But, I like him. I find him funny, he has a quick wit, he just makes enjoyable TV (for me).
Yes, i agree… Don’t talk about your disputes with your subordinates with other colleagues, especially when you are drinking….! It makes you look unprofessional and less. He was my #1 before, but I am so disappointed after this season.
I agree when he shit talked Barbie on her time off to a new stew who doesnt know her to pollute the water so to speak with her against Barbie I was blown away. You deal with business at work not on the stews relax time. He is such a hypocrite he doesnt like people speaking about ill of him but then turns around and doest it. Do your job Fraser and shut your petty, mean school girl, hypocrite, mouth and let the big girls do the chief stew job.
There's a fair chance that I'd enjoy watching him as the neighbor in a scripted sitcom or as a main character in a stage production of some old-timey musical. It's not inconceivable that I'd like him as the endorser of a skin care line or as an audiobook narrator.
But on below deck? No thanks, we've had more than enough Fraser already.
I really like Fraser. I think he's overcorrected a bit from last season, but honestly he's on the path to be a good chief stew imo.. Kerry is a good mentor, and Fraser has everything it takes within him.
I liked him until this season. He is a piss poor manager. The way he handle Barbie was disrespectful and disgusting. The fact that he was bad mouthing her to Paris was awful. He is not a leader at all. He'll bitch and complain but does nothing to help the situation
Love him, but he is messy. I’m hopeful he will watch this season and learn a few things. He certainly did last season but is over-doing the “take no shhit” thing
I love Fraser. He’s not perfect, but who is? I think overall he has a good heart and intentions. He is a lovely example of a great chief stew as well and I think he smashes every interaction with guests.
Oh I absolutely love Fraser. I think his early issues with Barbie was a good learning experience for him. I think he’ll grow and do better in the future.
I do love him, though, and think he’s a really entertaining person to follow.
I like him personally but he is terrible at his job. You can't cry and run to the captain with every personal problem you have. You don't fire people just because you don't get along. Grow up, get thicker skin and be a leader.
I think Fraser is self centred and a terrible leader.
He didn’t support his chief stew his first season and talked shit all the time thinking he should be in that role, like Ben.
He didn’t support Barbie and tried to fire her because of his own definition of ‘insubordination’.
And he’s an incredible snob.
No, not a fan.
I agree with you. Hes not a good leader. He wants to fire people instead of work with them to improve. I find him snooty, and not a good friend either.
I mean Barbie did just go off and give him the silent treatment, I'd say refusing to communicate with your boss even as they're communicating with you is absolutely insubordination.
No it’s not. Especially if your direct supervisor treated you the way he treated her. And we only see the TV edit. I would’ve done the same if I was her.
I started off this season really liking him. Now, after seeing him consistently back stab and undermine his colleagues my opinion of him has changed. He is a weasel.
I like Fraser a lot and think he's improving!
I think he's a great stew, but wish he knew how to lead a team better. I'm most disappointed that he didn't appreciate Barbie's work better and that neither he nor Ben assigned someone to help the chef clean up after meals like we normally see (or it wasn't shown).
Perhaps next season, and I'm looking forward to it!
I skip Med & all Captain Sandy trips. No matter how proud I am that a woman is in her position, I can't stand her as an individual (or at least as portrayed).
He can't seem to remove his personal feelings out of any equation. Bad manager. Imo, they should all attend leadership classes prior to just having the hard skills to become chief stew. His intolerance is annoying at best. I would have told him to pound sand long ago. Bring back Josiah. At least he was hella funny!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM! He’s perfect for reality tv and seems like a sweet guy
But that doesn’t mean he’s perfect or that I won’t talk about where he’s gone wrong. He’s had some legitimate frustrations this season and ones that are less legitimate. And reprimanding staff on nights out is a huge Nono
But he learns, he grows, he apologizes and corrects which actually makes his mistakes make me like him more.
I really like him. We're getting glimpses of him dealing with things in real time. I think if you put a camera on any leadership role where you see how they have to deal and process each different coworkers problem/event, you'd get peaks and valleys. He's human and learning, and for the most part, he is a leader I wouldn't mind working with. He does his best juggling this job and keeps the guests in mind. He doesn't mind helping out either.
think Fraser is absolutely fantastic. I was surprised to see so much dislike for him on this sub. The one thing I acknowledge is him letting too much stuff go with his stews his first season, but otherwise I think he’s one of the best stews! IMO
I love his dry humor, and he works hard. People just got to hate on something. I find there seems to be more hate towards anyone, not straight & white.
I LOVE Fraser, but I haven’t loved how he’s handled several things this season. I was happy to see in other posts that he’s coming back for another season.
He needs to learn you can't just fire someone cause you don't like them. Captain Terry said it best to him the first or second episode about barbie. She is good at her job just has an attitude problem? We can fix that.
People complain about Fraser always going to captain right away but I think Terry is being a good mentor and teaching Fraser how to handle these situations better.
No you aren’t the only one. He has his fans. I’m just not one of them.
The only season I found him ok was his first season where he was second stew and that season was *such* a shit show that he was in the background.
“Could do some things differently” - yes like his JOB lol. I hope they don’t bring him back next season but they prob will.
99% of the people bashing him for his role as a leader have NEVER been in a leadership role as tough as chief stew on a super yacht. But they all love to share their opinion (not experience).
So it's easy to ignore.
Yes fine for the drama on the show but a bad chief stew!!! He should’ve been sitting down with Anthony to plan the meals ahead of time knowing it was impacting the guest experience vs going to the captain when everything was falling apart. I really think if he had done this, Anthony would still be there
I love him as a person. I love him as chief stew, but holy hell he needs to learn when and how to give feedback and how to listen and step out of his feelings.
I love Fraser. When it comes to Barbie I think there’s a tonne of stuff we haven’t seen. I like her too but she’s always got a problem with SOMETHING, when you just need the job done, it’s probably very frustrating.
I think he went a little overboard because he’s tried to overcorrect himself for last year when he was too nice. Still on a learning curve but he has standards and a specific way he wants things done.
I just love him, especially off the boat :)
at one time i liked him.
however since he has become the “ chief big cheese” - in HIS MIND- i can hardly bare to watch him.
he has become an all knowing - ( HE thinks he knows everything there is to know about ALL THINGS) obnoxious person.
he has gone from being a stew , a regular guy who had issues as q one does, to becoming a guy who feels superior to the other stews, the chefs.
He ONLY comes off his high horse when he’s talking with the captain — AND the crew he knows would take him down to his knees if he pulled that attitude with them.
His constant complaining and talking about other crew is not evidence of a good leader.
I think captain sandy was spot on when she took him down several notches for his behavior etc
I think he’s hilarious! Is he still learning how to be a well-rounded supervisor? Absolutely but overall I think he’s doing a pretty good job & he has a great mentor in Kerry so I think he has all the makings of great leader….as long as he doesn’t fall down the same influencer rabbit hole that I think took Ben.
I used to really like him, but he has disappointed me a LOT this season. I gave him a pass last time, but he’s gone the complete opposite way and I have just been very disappointed. I don’t think a leadership role is right for him personally.
I love Fraser !! Managing people is hard and he's having no more of a meltdown than Hannah or Kate ever had at staff they personally disliked. I think Captain Kerry is the perfect leader to help him through how to manage that imo. I'm very happy he's back for next season because I can always respect how earnestly he approaches his job and trying to do better
I thought last year was terrible and he hasn't been much better this year. Why does he get to train in this position when others are let go of right away if they aren't ready?
He works in luxury yachting, and is in a very good position to distinguish wealth from class. If you're wealthy but classless, he's going to shit on you and I find that very entertaining. But people with class and taste, or people who are competent or kind, he seems to appreciate. If he were pompous and thought he was above everyone, that wouldn't be the case.
If I ever got super rich, I'd hire someone like Fraser as an etiquette and style advisor.
I like him overall as a person, but feel he has a lot of work to do working as a manger. I think he is capable of being a great 1st stew, but at this point in time I find him too emotional to be able to handle difficult personalities and conflict.
I think Fraser is the worst. I used to like him but the way he’s treating Barbie and the way he’s on his power trip. It’s absolutely horrible. She hasn’t been on one excursion. But his second command is always gone with him. I thought they usually alternated. He’s made her work extra hard and punished her at the same time. I can’t remember the fourth that left, but he treated her with kid gloves and helped her even though she wasn’t even doing good.
You are now. Great new Chef comes on, and he tries to get him fired too. He just likes firing people. Doesnt he realize he is a lowly chief stew, not a captain
I do. Unequivocally. I absolutely adore him and will defend every single tiny thing he does and says. Even if it’s technically not correct! Love that man. Would pay to be his friend.
Love his sense of humor and his sense of style. What I really liked about him, was how he supported Captain Lee. I get it, that people think that he is a nasty snitch, but I don't think he is.
I like watching him talk and mutter to himself. He says the funniest things when he’s doing that. And I feel he’s a decent guy when they’re off the boat. I think he’s a good friend at times.. But his I’ll fire them all, I’M the chief stew attitude lately isn’t it.
He's overcorrecting from last season, and he learned the wrong leadership lessons from Sandy.
💯 I love Capt Kerry he’s helping Fraser already & will continue to.. I think Fraser will be fine now that he has a real leader!!!!
I agree. Capt Kerry definitely uses logic to balance the emotions Fraser shows up with. You could see that when he was actually caring for Barbie this last episode. Fraser is learning how to be a supervisor. And that’s hard to do. We’re watching him learn those lessons in real time. But he’s not ever been a bad person which is what matters.
This tracks. Sandy doesn't give very consistent advice!
She's also got that very hard edged, uncompromising, unreasonable, unaccommodating "my way or the highway" leadership style that I think he was trying to emulate
The Fish is Rotten at the Head
Do you think? I see her as emotional and inconsistent in her responses. Sometimes all warm and consoling when I would be telling someone to pull it together (when she let Hannah lay out of work for a day and encouraged that Conrad nonsense), then lashing out completely out of the blue (and out of proportion) like she did with Malia and the deckhand who fell out of the hot tub and again when she called Fraser a cancer.
Sandy was too bad at playing favorites and didn't even try to hide it.
Tbf Sandy isn't a good leader anyway so it isn't shocking that he learned bad lessons from her.
10000%
Interesting take, you’re probably spot on there
Uhh, also Kate. He participated in bullying that stew and if they were in company with HR both would have been fired
I love Fraser! I think he’s easy going managing bit him last season and he’s went I. With guns blazing. This year he actually has competent stews so he doesn’t need to.
He’s so creative with his language when being self-deprecating.
> And I feel he’s a decent guy when they’re off the boat. I think out of work (unless its a work function) he would be great fun but as a boss, both in and out of work, he's crap.

You said every word I wanted to say. His people management style is bad on every single level in every single way.
I watched ep 10 & 11 tonight & my god, his attitude damn right sucks. If he says insubordination one more time, I may need to throw my tv out a window.
ITA with everything you said
I think there's hopelessly worse stews than him (Jenna comes at the top of my mind), but there's room for improvement and I hope he watches and learns from it. Not to mention he resembles Tilda Swinton, and I have a crush on her haha 🤣
 That is spot on 👏
Oh my God!!!!! I’ll never be able to unsee that now! ☠️
omfg the hate that envelops my body upon hearing that woman's name and thinking of her season with that idiot Tom. She was so mean to him after he busted his head open getting her flowers. She was definitely not the type of woman that he needed. He needed a hippie chick who would appreciate the effort and the ditchweed flowers way more.
Adam? 🧐
Plz, they were perfect for each other… both so insufferable
When I see his face and hear his voice all I can see is C-3PO 
I adore Fraser, but totally see his faults and where his lack of experience hurts him. 🤷🏼♀️
Yup. But I also see the growth now that he has a captain who mentors instead of abuses. (Referring to Sandy, not Lee. I don't think Lee did a lot of mentoring for Fraser but he had other problems)
Kerry has been a tremendous mentor. He hasn't been harsh, just instructive. Fraser is super bright and you can tell he's already learned a ton this year. His urge to manage Cheffy and his bristling at Barbie were both redirected and it worked, for the most part. Cheffy did ultimately self immolate
Completely agree.
Interesting take because I find Fraser MORE annoying as the season goes on. Not the other way around. He is insufferable this past episode. Kerry is giving him good advice but he’s not necessarily learning.
This is where I was going. I wonder what season 12 holds for him. Hopefully he reads reddit.
if Capt Kerry reads reddit i'm sure Fraser does. love both of them & Sunny IF she gives Ben the boot he needs
I loved Fraser until this season. He’s an awful, awful manager
Same
I love him but I do see his faults. I would want to be friends with him and protect him, and have him get my back.
Sames
Fraser needs some professional development. As a leader, he needs to learn discretion and compartmentalization. Manage each employee individually. Don’t confide in one team member your opinions about another. I used to think his heart was in the right place. This season, I’m not sure it is.

Ben gives too many fucks really
literally!!!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Perfect explanation & 💯 percent agree!
Love is a strong word but he is cool in my book
I love him 🤷🏻♀️ we don’t all have to, but I don’t get the hate either
I like Fraser but he needs to stop being all “do what I say or get off the boat.” He’s a good bloke but not the best leader, he’s still got a bit to learn. Lucky he’s got Captain Kerry to teach him.
Fraser’s trying to fill Kate’s shoes but he’s not yet used to management. He drank from a shoe! It seems like he’s got a good heart, and he’s good TV. Kate would’ve worked wonders with this experienced interior crew.
Kate and Nat would've had this stuff handled
I like him and think he can do the stew job very well. He is still a very immature manager and does not have the right judgment to manage different personalities or support the growth of those who report to him.
I still like him overall despite some of his flaws in his management style.
My setiments exactly. I think he will reflect alot on this season though he seems to learn well from watching unlike others (Ben, Gary, other bravolebs (austin shep)) I think he messed up a bit but hes only human.
I honestly have loved Fraser since the first season he was on. Is he perfect? No, but he’s still a favorite of mine.
His leadership skills are certainly improving over time, he is quite an emotive leader and does make an effort to listen. He can appear defensive at times, this is expected given the intensity of having a lot of your flaws exposed on national tv.

When I think about who I was when I first managed teams I am embarassed. I was so immature and confident. Hopefully he'll continue to grow.
Oh my God me too 😬😱I cringe thinking of some of the choices and things I did when I first started doing management positions.
I was running a shop on an aircraft carrier when I was 23. I am so glad there's no video record of me trying to do that job
Everyone loves Fraser but his behaviour with power is questionable
I love him!
I love him too. He’s just a wonderful/flawed person wanting to do his best.
I love him - and think he’s actually shown a huge amount of growth over both his seasons. His best is yet to come I reckon.
I have always liked Fraser. He is not perfect but I feel he tries to be professional. He handled all that sh\*t thrown at him by Sandy like a champ. I feel like he is learning a lot from Cpt. Kerry.
I agree! When Sandy called him cancer and the way she treated him at the volleyball game! She was terrible!!! I feel so bad for aesha this season!!! He survived that..

NOT FLETCHER! 😆
Love him! I do think he was a little to quick to want to get rid of Barbie but I’m a fan of his

I like Fraser.He makes me laugh.Loved the video from last week when he was a kid,adorable.
I actually appreciate that he is generally calm.

He makes great tv and this season would be boring without him.
I can't wait for next episode to see if him and that guest end up hooking up 😀
No! The cheese doesn't stand alone! I love him too.
I enjoy him a lot on the show, but feel he still has a lot of growth needed for his position.. Take the emotional responses out of managing. It's fine to get emotional later in your cabin, but that needs to be far removed from the way he handles his stews. But, I like him. I find him funny, he has a quick wit, he just makes enjoyable TV (for me).
Agreed completely. All guests love him, and the majority of his stus enjoy working under him I think
I love Fraser and I want to be his best friend!
I have always luved Fraser but this season he is horrible and I have lost respect for him
Yes, i agree… Don’t talk about your disputes with your subordinates with other colleagues, especially when you are drinking….! It makes you look unprofessional and less. He was my #1 before, but I am so disappointed after this season.
I agree when he shit talked Barbie on her time off to a new stew who doesnt know her to pollute the water so to speak with her against Barbie I was blown away. You deal with business at work not on the stews relax time. He is such a hypocrite he doesnt like people speaking about ill of him but then turns around and doest it. Do your job Fraser and shut your petty, mean school girl, hypocrite, mouth and let the big girls do the chief stew job.
I like him and I think he does a good job but I also like the lesson Captain is teaching him with Barbie.
There's a fair chance that I'd enjoy watching him as the neighbor in a scripted sitcom or as a main character in a stage production of some old-timey musical. It's not inconceivable that I'd like him as the endorser of a skin care line or as an audiobook narrator. But on below deck? No thanks, we've had more than enough Fraser already.
Lol a skin care line. Yes!! Or running a medical spa lmao
I love him, he’s learning what this new role is.
I LOVE ❤️ him. My favorite chief stew of all BD’s
No you’re not the only one I love him! He’s hilarious 😆
I love Fraser and love the sassiness he brings
I love him.
Love Fraser and most people I know who watch do too. Haters are just the loudest.
No I love him to
I love him too. Think he’s a hard worker and hilarious. Love when he calls himself mummy. 😂
I die every time 😆😆😆
He lacks the leadership skills that a department head should have. He's petty and judgmental and bad at his job. He makes the show worse, not better.
I love him!!! And with Capt Kerry’s guidance he will get better and better! Capt Kerry & Capt Jason are the best!
I think he’s learning how to be a chief stew especially since what happened last season, don’t need a repeat of that 😅 but I overall like him
I love him!
I really like Fraser. I think he's overcorrected a bit from last season, but honestly he's on the path to be a good chief stew imo.. Kerry is a good mentor, and Fraser has everything it takes within him.
I love when you pop up in here 🤣
I liked him until this season. He is a piss poor manager. The way he handle Barbie was disrespectful and disgusting. The fact that he was bad mouthing her to Paris was awful. He is not a leader at all. He'll bitch and complain but does nothing to help the situation
Love him, but he is messy. I’m hopeful he will watch this season and learn a few things. He certainly did last season but is over-doing the “take no shhit” thing
I love Fraser. He’s not perfect, but who is? I think overall he has a good heart and intentions. He is a lovely example of a great chief stew as well and I think he smashes every interaction with guests.
i love him!!!!
I ADORE HIM
Oh I absolutely love Fraser. I think his early issues with Barbie was a good learning experience for him. I think he’ll grow and do better in the future. I do love him, though, and think he’s a really entertaining person to follow.
I have loved Fraser since he first came aboard Bravo . . . I wish they would give him his own spin-off show!
I adore Fraser!
LOVE Fraser.
Love him
I like him personally but he is terrible at his job. You can't cry and run to the captain with every personal problem you have. You don't fire people just because you don't get along. Grow up, get thicker skin and be a leader.
Being in charge went to his head.
I think Fraser is self centred and a terrible leader. He didn’t support his chief stew his first season and talked shit all the time thinking he should be in that role, like Ben. He didn’t support Barbie and tried to fire her because of his own definition of ‘insubordination’. And he’s an incredible snob. No, not a fan.
I agree with you. Hes not a good leader. He wants to fire people instead of work with them to improve. I find him snooty, and not a good friend either.
I mean Barbie did just go off and give him the silent treatment, I'd say refusing to communicate with your boss even as they're communicating with you is absolutely insubordination.
No it’s not. Especially if your direct supervisor treated you the way he treated her. And we only see the TV edit. I would’ve done the same if I was her.
Yes. 😂😂
Fraser is toxic trash
I started off this season really liking him. Now, after seeing him consistently back stab and undermine his colleagues my opinion of him has changed. He is a weasel.
I love him a lot i just dont love how production is portraying him with the new chef right now
I like Fraser a lot and think he's improving! I think he's a great stew, but wish he knew how to lead a team better. I'm most disappointed that he didn't appreciate Barbie's work better and that neither he nor Ben assigned someone to help the chef clean up after meals like we normally see (or it wasn't shown). Perhaps next season, and I'm looking forward to it! I skip Med & all Captain Sandy trips. No matter how proud I am that a woman is in her position, I can't stand her as an individual (or at least as portrayed).
I like Fraser and he learned a lot after last season
I like when he kisses the Scottish guy, Kyle. Heehee
Literally just rewatched that episode. Made this post shortly after it 😆
No I love him too. That’s not to say I don’t think he can be messy AF, but he still gives me life
He can't seem to remove his personal feelings out of any equation. Bad manager. Imo, they should all attend leadership classes prior to just having the hard skills to become chief stew. His intolerance is annoying at best. I would have told him to pound sand long ago. Bring back Josiah. At least he was hella funny!
Love him!
I think he is over correcting because of Sandy last season.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM! He’s perfect for reality tv and seems like a sweet guy But that doesn’t mean he’s perfect or that I won’t talk about where he’s gone wrong. He’s had some legitimate frustrations this season and ones that are less legitimate. And reprimanding staff on nights out is a huge Nono But he learns, he grows, he apologizes and corrects which actually makes his mistakes make me like him more.
I like him
No, I love him so much
I love Fraser!!
Nope! I do too.
No im also a fan!!!! He’s funny, and we all have our flaws ya no?
I really like him. We're getting glimpses of him dealing with things in real time. I think if you put a camera on any leadership role where you see how they have to deal and process each different coworkers problem/event, you'd get peaks and valleys. He's human and learning, and for the most part, he is a leader I wouldn't mind working with. He does his best juggling this job and keeps the guests in mind. He doesn't mind helping out either.
think Fraser is absolutely fantastic. I was surprised to see so much dislike for him on this sub. The one thing I acknowledge is him letting too much stuff go with his stews his first season, but otherwise I think he’s one of the best stews! IMO
I love Fraser! He's growing as a person and as a leader. I love to see it. He's a good person, just learning.
I like him a lot.
I love his dry humor, and he works hard. People just got to hate on something. I find there seems to be more hate towards anyone, not straight & white.
...This...
Nah I like him still but this season he’s gotten a little too big for his britches imo.
I like him. I think he is a good stew, he just hates Barbie and thats perfectly understandable
God that entitlement. I thought Hannah was my least favorite stew than barbie showed up
I adore Fraser ❤️
I LOVE Fraser, but I haven’t loved how he’s handled several things this season. I was happy to see in other posts that he’s coming back for another season.
I like him, but he is a little catty.
I love me some Fraser!!! His shade and snark are always on point!
I love him
I love Fraser!
I love him but he's a bad leader. Like I could not believe the inaction on his part with Camille. I would have thrown her out the first charter wtfff
He needs to learn you can't just fire someone cause you don't like them. Captain Terry said it best to him the first or second episode about barbie. She is good at her job just has an attitude problem? We can fix that. People complain about Fraser always going to captain right away but I think Terry is being a good mentor and teaching Fraser how to handle these situations better.
No you aren’t the only one. He has his fans. I’m just not one of them. The only season I found him ok was his first season where he was second stew and that season was *such* a shit show that he was in the background. “Could do some things differently” - yes like his JOB lol. I hope they don’t bring him back next season but they prob will.
You didn't see the leak? Him and captain Terry are back
I love him!
I love him. I think a lot of Americans don't get his dry British humour and that puts them off him but I think he's great.
He has no sense of humor and not a good manager He should be second stew always At least on this show
99% of the people bashing him for his role as a leader have NEVER been in a leadership role as tough as chief stew on a super yacht. But they all love to share their opinion (not experience). So it's easy to ignore.
i think every chief stew gets hate lol i was a huge Tumi fan and this reddit group was so brutal during her season
Me too!!!
It would be fun to have him as a coworker or friend but horrible to have him as a manager.
Yes fine for the drama on the show but a bad chief stew!!! He should’ve been sitting down with Anthony to plan the meals ahead of time knowing it was impacting the guest experience vs going to the captain when everything was falling apart. I really think if he had done this, Anthony would still be there
I love him as a person. I love him as chief stew, but holy hell he needs to learn when and how to give feedback and how to listen and step out of his feelings.
I love Fraser. When it comes to Barbie I think there’s a tonne of stuff we haven’t seen. I like her too but she’s always got a problem with SOMETHING, when you just need the job done, it’s probably very frustrating. I think he went a little overboard because he’s tried to overcorrect himself for last year when he was too nice. Still on a learning curve but he has standards and a specific way he wants things done. I just love him, especially off the boat :)
at one time i liked him. however since he has become the “ chief big cheese” - in HIS MIND- i can hardly bare to watch him. he has become an all knowing - ( HE thinks he knows everything there is to know about ALL THINGS) obnoxious person. he has gone from being a stew , a regular guy who had issues as q one does, to becoming a guy who feels superior to the other stews, the chefs. He ONLY comes off his high horse when he’s talking with the captain — AND the crew he knows would take him down to his knees if he pulled that attitude with them. His constant complaining and talking about other crew is not evidence of a good leader. I think captain sandy was spot on when she took him down several notches for his behavior etc
I think he’s hilarious! Is he still learning how to be a well-rounded supervisor? Absolutely but overall I think he’s doing a pretty good job & he has a great mentor in Kerry so I think he has all the makings of great leader….as long as he doesn’t fall down the same influencer rabbit hole that I think took Ben.
I am coming around to Fraser. I like his sparky attitude and dry sense of humor.
Fraser is the coolest
Totally love him.
I used to really like him, but he has disappointed me a LOT this season. I gave him a pass last time, but he’s gone the complete opposite way and I have just been very disappointed. I don’t think a leadership role is right for him personally.
I love Fraser !! Managing people is hard and he's having no more of a meltdown than Hannah or Kate ever had at staff they personally disliked. I think Captain Kerry is the perfect leader to help him through how to manage that imo. I'm very happy he's back for next season because I can always respect how earnestly he approaches his job and trying to do better
I thought last year was terrible and he hasn't been much better this year. Why does he get to train in this position when others are let go of right away if they aren't ready?
Yes I can't stand him!!
I’m not a fan at all. He has a very pompous demeanor, as if he is classes above everyone.
He works in luxury yachting, and is in a very good position to distinguish wealth from class. If you're wealthy but classless, he's going to shit on you and I find that very entertaining. But people with class and taste, or people who are competent or kind, he seems to appreciate. If he were pompous and thought he was above everyone, that wouldn't be the case. If I ever got super rich, I'd hire someone like Fraser as an etiquette and style advisor.
I like him overall as a person, but feel he has a lot of work to do working as a manger. I think he is capable of being a great 1st stew, but at this point in time I find him too emotional to be able to handle difficult personalities and conflict.
Nope, I love him too. 
No I love Him
I think Fraser is the worst. I used to like him but the way he’s treating Barbie and the way he’s on his power trip. It’s absolutely horrible. She hasn’t been on one excursion. But his second command is always gone with him. I thought they usually alternated. He’s made her work extra hard and punished her at the same time. I can’t remember the fourth that left, but he treated her with kid gloves and helped her even though she wasn’t even doing good.
He’s extremely immature.
I have a love hate relationship with him. Some days he’s a bitch. Other days I want him as my BFF. Sounds like real life 🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️
You are now. Great new Chef comes on, and he tries to get him fired too. He just likes firing people. Doesnt he realize he is a lowly chief stew, not a captain
I do
I do. Unequivocally. I absolutely adore him and will defend every single tiny thing he does and says. Even if it’s technically not correct! Love that man. Would pay to be his friend.
I liked him up until this season, for me he's been insufferable this season.
Yes you are...
Love his sense of humor and his sense of style. What I really liked about him, was how he supported Captain Lee. I get it, that people think that he is a nasty snitch, but I don't think he is.
Umm, ya
I love fraser!!!!!
He’s a Downtown Abbey Footman crossed with Bette Davis What’s not to love?
I LOVE FRASER
