Below Deck Down Under season 3, however, Tzarina has struggled to stand out against the drama of the season, and has created drama on her own that's made viewers rethink her.

While Tzarina's reputation was great coming into Below Deck Down Under season 3, things have changed as she's been a more difficult figure on the series. Tzarina's inability to manager her Sous-Chef, Alesia Harris, has been tough to watch throughout the season, as has her feud with Chief Stew Lara Rigby. While both Tzarina and Lara have been in the wrong at different times during the season, Tzarina has handled the feud far worse than Lara, which has made it tough for her to move past it and focus on her work. After the season, Tzarina's reflected on her performance.
