‘Below Deck’s Chef Rachel Talks Issues With Eddie and New Antics in Season 9 (Exclusive)

Chef Rachel Hargrove returns for season 9 of ‘Below Deck,’ and isn’t holding back while previewing the season to ET! Rachel explains her problem with Bosun turned First Officer Eddie Lucas and teases their tense conversation about the things he said behind her back in season 8. Plus, she reacts to Captain Lee Rosbach being (temporarily) replaced by Captain Sean Meagher and shares her feelings about the rest of the new crew -- including why she thinks Chief Stewardess Heather Chase is better than fan-favorite Kate Chastain! Rachel also reveals if she heard from Tyra Banks after her ‘America’s Next Top Model’ audition resurfaced online while ‘Below Deck’ season 8 was airing. ‘Below Deck’ airs Mondays on Bravo.
