What Happened To Xandi Olivier After Below Deck Season 11?

Summary

• Xandi was a reliable stew on Below Deck Season 11, impressing with her work ethic and professionalism.
• Xandi reconciled with fellow stew Barbie after a tense argument during the finale of the season.
• While it’s uncertain if Xandi will be in Below Deck Season 12, she’s made amends and has traveled to Florida.

Below Deck season 11 stew Xandi Olivier has been busy since the show wrapped. A franchise newbie, Xandi proved to be an incredibly reliable crew member. She worked underneath Captain Kerry Kitheradge and Chief Stew Fraser Olender, with whom the latter grew a close bond. Xandi joined Below Deck with six years of experience in the yachting industry, which showed in her performance as a stew. While she didn’t steer clear of all drama during the charter season, Xandi impressed the St. David crew and made great relationships with most of the cast.

Notably, Xandi feuded with fellow stew Barbie Pascual. Their personalities clashed both professionally and personally. After Cat Baugh left during the beginning episodes of Below Deck season 11, Xandi immediately clicked with her replacement stew, Paris Field. For the majority of the season, Fraser’s interior team worked together successfully, aided by the South African native’s no-nonsense attitude. Instead of complaining about her daily tasks, Xandi completed her work efficiently and positively contributed to the charter trips during Below Deck season 11.

Xandi’s Been In Florida

Xandi’s Social Media Posts Are Tagged To The Sunshine State

Since Below Deck season 11 wrapped filming, Xandi has spent time in Florida. On her Instagram, Xandi posted a scenic shot and geotagged its location to Flordia. The stew has plenty of other pictures on her social media in the Sunshine State. Xandi is originally from South Africa and has six years of yachting experience. Likely, she’s still working in the industry, which might be why she’s spent time in Florida.

Florida is a place where a lot of yachties live.

Xandi & Barbie Seemingly Made Amends

What Happened After Xandi & Barbie’s Fight?

Xandi’s most contentious moment during Below Deck was her fight with Barbie during the finale of season 11. Throughout the charter season, they had different working styles, which led to discord. At times, Xandi felt that Barbie was dramatic. She feuded with Chief Stew Fraser, and Xandi watched from the sidelines. On the final night, they did their usual crew night out, and they had dinner together. When heading back to St. David, they began discussing Barbie’s bumpy relationship with Fraser. Xandi told her she would have fired her if she had been Chief Stew.

After Xandi admitted she would have terminated Barbie’s employment, this upset Barbie. They got into a screaming match in the car, which led to more conflict between the stew and Kyle Stillie. Instead of attempting to work things out, Barbie stormed and left the boat immediately, ending the season on a negative note. However, they’ve since made amends. On Instagram, Barbie posted a video with Xandi and Captain Kerry. “We are here to tell you that we’re all good,” Barbie admitted, with Xandi adding they “made up.”

Xandi’s Journey On Below Deck

Xandi Was A Reliable Stew

Xandi had a great journey on Below Deck. While she hadn’t been on the show before season 11, Xandi naturally fit in with the crew. She got along well with Chief Stew Fraser and became his second stew. She was very receptive to feedback and excelled professionally. Xandi became great friends with the Bosun Ben Willoughby, which stirred drama between herself and Sunny Marquis. After a night out, Sunny thought there was chemistry between Xandi and Ben, whom she was hooking up with.

Xandi was one of the best crew members from Below Deck season 11.

Nonetheless, she reassured Sunny that she wasn’t interested in Ben. Instead, Xandi had a relationship with Ben that was nothing more platonic. Xandi didn’t form any boatmances with the Below Deck season 11 crew members, but she did reveal she had been married. Overall, Xandi didn’t get involved in the drama. Her infamous fight with Barbie during the Below Deck season 11 finale was one of the most heated moments, but they’ve squashed their beef.

Will Xandi Ever Return To Below Deck?

Is Xandi A Part Of The Below Deck Season 12 Crew?

It’s unclear if Xandi will ever return to the Below Deck franchise. She performed well under pressure and as one of Fraser’s favorite stews. Xandi brought a fun energy to the crew and formed genuine friendships with her co-workers. She hasn’t said she wouldn’t be open to returning for another season of Below Deck, so that door is open. Notably, Captain Kerry and Fraser were spotted filming for Below Deck season 12. Among them were allegedly Kyle and Sunny, two Below Deck season 11 crew members.

Xandi was not seen filming the upcoming season, but that doesn’t mean she won’t return in the future. She’s on good terms with Captain Kerry, who could call her in as a potential replacement on Below Deck season 12. The franchise would be silly not to capitalize on Xandi’s potential as a Below Deck personality.

Since Below Deck season 11, Xandi has made amends with Barbie. The stew has continued to travel and has spent a lot of time in Florida. While it’s uncertain if she will be joining the Below Deck season 12 cast, it would be great to see Xandi return to the franchise in the future.
