💘 Boatmance · Below Deck Down Under Season 2
From Frosty to Flirty: Chef and Second Officer
What went down
Tzarina arrived wary of João because of his history with her friend, but they bonded from ep 9 and grew flirty through eps 10-14. She kissed him in ep 15 and they hooked up. Their ep 17 date soured when she called him 'fake' and he raised his voice, and a drunken João picked fights and kissed Margot on the final night (ep 18).
How it landed
Ended on the show with a hug as friends; they briefly reconnected after filming before Tzarina said it ended badly.
