Chef Lawrence is one of the Below Deck season 12 cast who is new to reality TV and the St. David yacht. He doesn't have big shoes to fill, but he's already having such a hard time.

Below Deck season 12 is full of electric personalities, but the unexpected star of the premiere episode was Chef Lawrence Snowden. Lawrence became a born-again Christian following past struggles with mental health and addiction. He ed Captain Kerry Titheradge’s crew with fifteen years of culinary experience under his belt, and his penchant for quoting bible verses seemed to steady him during times of stress. However, just moments into his first episode, Lawrence began buckling under the pressure of filming.

Below Deck is already facing a possible producer interference scandal during the scene involving the forgotten luggage. Kerry Titheradge is back in charge of the St. David. Only one episode has aired so far during Below Deck season 12, but already, there's plenty of drama. The most jaw-dropping scenes involved Chef Lawrence Snowden, who couldn't handle the pressures of the job and complained about being filmed for the show--and that was well before the guests arrived. However, once the guests showed up and were taken to the yacht, some sort of miscommunication happened that involved their luggage.

Below Deck is bringing the drama back for its 12th season, and in addition to returning stars Captain Kerry Titheradge, the controversial Chief Stew Fraser Olender, and Deckhand Kyle Stillie, the incoming group of newcomers brings its own chaos. The season 12 trailer teases forbidden romance with a guest, a charter cut short, and perhaps the most inter-crew hookups in franchise history. With a frantic chef breaking the fourth wall only minutes into the new season, it’s obvious that Below Deck season 12 isn’t afraid to venture into uncharted territory.

Below Deck season 12's premiere brought Fraser Olender back for his third season as Chief Stew, and I think his newfound main character energy and some new editing tricks are going to save the show from another boring season. Fraser, who ed the show as a Stew during Below Deck season 9, has been one of the most consistent parts of the crew throughout the last few years. Learning from his mistakes and moving up the ranks quickly, Fraser has been doing a great job establishing himself as a long-term member of the Below Deck franchise, working hard on board.

Below Deck returned for another charter season, and after the premiere episode, viewers are interested in learning more about French Stew Solène Favreau. Throughout the premiere of Below Deck season 12, it was clear Solène was going to make an impact, though whether that's good or bad remains to be seen. Solène, who had roughly three weeks worth of yachting experience before ing Below Deck's charter season, was open about the fact that she wanted to learn, but needed a lot of help. Calling herself a "baby Stew," Solène quickly tucked herself beneath Barbara Kulaif and Rainbeau du Roos' wings.
