On the Below Deck Down Under yacht, tensions have been rising, and Brianna Duffield is sharing her thoughts on the conflict between Chief Stew Lara and Chef Tzarina regarding new deckhand Alesia. Viewers are divided about the tension, which has been steadily building over previous episodes, and even crew members are uncertain about how to address it.

According to Brianna, who has been closely observing the exchanges, both women have valid points, but they are allowing their personal grievances to exacerbate the situation.

"At the end of the day, they are both adults. I think Tzarina is great, and I think Lara is great. They have their differences. I think their differences are getting the best of them," Brianna said in a recent interview.

Jealousy and unclear boundaries around Alesia's presence on board appear to be the main causes of the conflict. Even while Lara has made an effort to remain composed, there have been a few awkward interactions and subtly expressed discomfort. Conversely, Tzarina hasn't held back from sharing her thoughts. It's evident that this triangle is having an effect on more than just the three of them since the dynamic keeps changing, and if it isn't resolved, it may affect the remainder of the season.


Brianna Duffield shares her take on the tension between Tzarina, Lara, and Alesia on Below Deck Down Under

In an interview, Below Deck Down Under star Brianna Duffield commented on the complex relationship between Tzarina, Lara, and newcomer Alesia as tensions simmer. Though the show has alluded to silent envy and subtle rivalry, Brianna believes the problem is more about personality conflicts than love rivalry. She thinks that although Tzarina and Lara contribute to the team, their disagreements are preventing them from acting professionally.

"Everyone needs time to vent in such a tough environment and when you’re so stressed. I don’t think there is too much overstepping with Alesia. I just think there is some misunderstanding and some confusion," Brianna said.

Alesia's visit on Below Deck Down Under may have exacerbated the issue, but it wasn't the only reason for the stress, she noted. This triangle may continue to be a source of drama in the next episodes due to egos flaring and communication breakdowns.


Below Deck Down Under's Brianna gives an update on her relationship with Harry

The developing relationship between Brianna and Harry has been one of the Below Deck Down Under season's more subdued plotlines. Following the conclusion of filming, people conjectured about the status of their relationship, but Brianna clarified the situation in a recent interview. Although she stated that their relationship didn't progress much after the charter season concluded, she called each other "great friends." Brianna claims that although she and Harry are still on good terms, their relationship never developed into a committed relationship.

"I love that everyone was cheering for Harry and I as much as we were. Watching back, I’m even like, “Go Harry! You got this.” It’s really sweet. I do love that the fans are loving watching this relationship blossoming," Below Deck Down Under star said.

She underlined that even though their romance ended, she cherishes the time they spent getting to know one another on board and has no regrets about the encounter. For now, it seems like Brianna is focusing on herself and steering clear of any more boatmances.
