'Tzarina Mace-Ralph is fake': 'Below Deck Down Under' chef slammed for sabotaging romance with Joao Franco
CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA: 'Below Deck Down Under' Season 2 chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph was seen igniting romance with Joao Franco. But, it looks like their relationship was short-lived which ended after the filming of Season 2.
Tzarina Mace-Ralph and Joao Franco did not work out after the filming of 'Below Deck Down Under' Season 2 wrapped up in Cairns, Australia, according to Show Star News.
Moreover, from their social media activity, it seems that they have moved on in their life.
The most recent episode of 'Below Deck Down Under' Season 2 was a complete mess, and for the first time, Tzarina received a lot of backlash from viewers for allegedly manipulating Joao's emotions.
For the unversed, Joao is Tzarina's friend's ex-flame. Therefore, the chef was concerned about taking anything forward with him.
However, fans believe she should have made that clear before leading him on and making out with him.

In Episode 17, Tzarina went on a date with Joao. However, she blew their date off with "harsh criticism," claiming that they shouldn't take their relationship forward.
Fans believe Joao has been "nice and respectful" with Tzarina throughout the show. And she was pushing the relationship along until it was virtually the last person on deck before she made the decision to end it.
Seeing this a fan called out the chef, "Joao has been nice and respectful towards Tzarina. She blew it with harsh criticism. He is right. Why sleep with him and go to dinner if you feel that way? Whatever he does next she earned."
