‘Below Deck’: Kate Chastain Reveals That Eddie Lucas Was the Real Reason She Joined the Show (Exclusive) – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

In front of a packed audience, Kate Chastain from Below Deck revealed the real reason she wanted to become chief stew on the show.

Chastain and Captain Lee Rosbach had a candid discussion in front of a Columbus, Ohio audience, sharing never-before-revealed details. The event, produced by Stars Marketing Group, was hosted by Colin Macy-OToole from Below Deck Mediterranean and the team didnt hold back spilling secrets.

Chastain previously shared she wanted to join the show because she didnt like how original chief stew Adrienne Gang was doing her job. She told podcast host, Taylor Strecker, she thought she could do a better job. It was embarrassing to my friends and family members, Chastain told Strecker. I dont want them to see this girl doing the job this way and think thats what I do. Because shes not displaying it great.

Although Chastain had her eye on the job, she also had an eye on bosun Eddie Lucas. Lucas was one of the original cast members and remained on the show for three solid seasons. Fun fact, Eddie was the reason I wanted to get on the show, Chastain said as the crowd went wild. He looked like a Kennedy.

Hes like a New England Kennedy, Chastain recalls. But then I got there, and hes shorter than me! But then, on Watch What Happens [Live] he had a beard and hes looking real good.

Chastain turns to Rosbach and says, Can you hire him back, please? I think Eddied be a great bosun! Rosbach agrees. I think hed be a really great bosun. When Rosbach and the crew appeared on WWHL for the 100th Below Deck episode, he also shared hed hire Lucas back.

The good news for fans is Lucas would return to the show. He even identified a new crew member hed love to work with too. I would love to work withJosiah [Carter], Lucas told Bravos The Daily Dish. I think he would be great to work with. I connected with him a little bit last night, and he was a really nice guy. I feel like he would work really well [in] the group.

Although Lucas would return, he is concerned about the darkness haunting season 7. When it comes to deck crew and everything, I dont know. I dont know who Id really like to work with I havent met yet, he said. I dont know if any of them, to be honest. Ive watched this current season, and it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth at times, so I cant really put my finger on any of them right now.

Its been rough to watch, he continued. For me, my standards, I wouldnt really think its going too well for them. But Lucas gave props to Rosbach and Chastain. Im so proud ofCaptain Lee [Rosbach]andKate [Chastain]and everyone else who has turned this show into this amazing hit that is now today, and its just really amazing, he said. Its really exciting, and Im proud of the whole crew.
