\u201cI feel like Kerry this season, as opposed to Lee, has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,\u201d Olender said in an interview. \u201cWith Kerry, he taught me a lot and sort of forced to me confront issues directly with my team, work them out, as opposed to making executive decisions too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
This shift in management style changes the central conflict \u2014 whereas the drama once focused on the captain swiftly kicking out any unpleasant crew member (as we might have seen with Rosbach), the drama now focuses on the whole crew trying to get along (since Titheradge gives people those second chances).<\/p>\n
Additionally, Olender noted that the captain\u2019s relationship with the crew can also affect the drama on board.<\/p>\n
\u201cCaptains absolutely do get involved, whether they know it or not,\u201d Olender said, adding that for the crew, everything is about \u201ctrying to impress your captain.\u201d<\/p>\n
This phenomenon plays out early in the new season when the lead deckhand, Ben Willoughby, called out a fellow crew member over the radios about not wearing a life vest \u2014 something he easily could have done in private. The drama that followed became an interpersonal conflict between the two of them, both with the ultimate goal of impressing Titheradge. (Of course, the two deckhands had kissed on the previous crew night out, which is more in line with the \u201cBelow Deck\u201d drama viewers are used to.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For \u201cBelow Deck\u201d showrunners, the changeovers in the cast allowed them to rethink what the show would look like.<\/p>\n
From the season premiere, it was immediately apparent that Rosbach\u2019s absence wasn\u2019t the only change this season: The filming is sleeker, the daily, multicourse meals prepared by the chef are given their own glamour shots and the cameras sometimes cut to the perspectives of yachties running around on deck and through the galley.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur showrunner, Lauren Simms, is an avid consumer of all different kinds of media,\u201d Noah Samton, a senior vice president of unscripted current production for NBCUniversal, said in an interview. \u201cShe pitches us different ideas on how to stylistically evoke different feelings and change the mood a little bit of \u2018Below Deck\u2019 without removing what really works.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moving through the rest of the season, and potentially through seasons to come, Olender is aiming to bring a cutthroat management style while also bringing affection for his stews, all with his signature British humor.<\/p>\n
On Bravo\u2019s side, there are changes in the works for the other \u201cBelow Deck\u201d spinoffs \u2014 including \u201cSailing Yacht,\u201d \u201cMediterranean\u201d and \u201cDown Under\u201d \u2014 which collectively, have 26 seasons. Specifically, Samton said that \u201cDown Under\u201d is currently filming and that even though fans should be ready to see new things, the show will stay true to its original concept.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are real yachties doing a real job so you have to stay within those confines because the audience isn\u2019t going to want anything that is too produced or fake,\u201d Samton said. \u201cSo we have to find ways to reinvent while staying true to the original concept of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
And as Olender said: \u201cI\u2019m sure that every year if I were to work with this franchise again, that I\u2019ll be thrown a collection of total chaotic and disastrous stews \u2014 that\u2019s what makes it watchable.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
