Fans of Below Deck believe the series’ producers should give season 10 stew Hayley De Sola Pinto more airtime. Below Deck is an American reality TV series that first premiered on Bravo on July 1, 2013. The show follows the lives of the crew members who live and work aboard a superyacht during charter season. Over the years, the show has gained a massive fan base and expanded into other equally successful spin-offs, including Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
Although the show kicked off with OGs like Captain Lee Rosbach, chief stew Kate Chastain, and chef Ben Robinson — the series has regularly introduced several new chief stews and chefs. Ahead of current season 10, which premiered on November 21, 2022, one of the new faces that joined the “Below Deck” crew as a stew was Hayley De Sola Pinto. Two other stews — Alissa Humber and Camille Lamb — were introduced to the show alongside Hayley.
Despite not having a vast yachting experience, Haley hit the ground running and even struck a strong connection with fellow crew member Fraser Olender. Additionally, she quickly became a fan-favorite due to her goofy personality. Still, fans feel that the 25-year-old reality TV star is not getting enough airtime on the show. Many of the show’s viewers discern that she has much more to bring to the series if she is featured more often.
