Carmen Felder in 'Below Deck Down Under' Season 2

Carmen features on 'Below Deck Down Under' Season 2 with her best friend Brandon McLaughlin, and she informed her Instagram followers about being on the reality show through a post with the caption, "Black Barbie & Ken aka me and my bestie Brandon McLaughlin. All I’m going to say is there will be someone going night swimming and I’m getting fed by the captain. Lord help us." Fellow charter guests accompanying Carmen and Brandon are Brad Driver, Rhoda Rahn, and Ashleigh Demi, among others. The one who is expected to steal the show is Kristyl Nelson, wittily described as a "sober" charter guest, implying that she might hold some other quality that can easily stir up drama.

Two new episodes of 'Below Deck Down Under' Season 2 release back-to-back every week on Monday at 8 pm ET on Bravo.
