CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA: Bravo's 'Below Deck Down Under' is back on the screens for another thrilling season. A new primary charter guest has arrived to stir up the expectations of the other crew members.

In Season 2, friends of the first primary charter guest, Carmen Felder, are expected to become the attention grabbers in the second episode. As they demand more alcohol, viewers can expect drama ensuing among the crew members, giving them a tough time.

Who is Carmen Felder?

Born in 1987, Carmen Felder is from Richmond, Virginia, and calls herself an entrepreneur and public figure. She is a US veteran, having worked in the US Air Force after joining the Army in 1999 and serving in Operation Enduring Freedom. She is also a single mother to a 12-year-old son.

'Below Deck Down Under' wouldn't be Carmen's first tryst with reality TV, as she previously tried finding love on the dating show 'Ready To Love'. As per her LinkedIn profile, she is the CEO/Founder/Owner of Authentic Connections, a networking, consultation, and business management firm in Leesburg, Virginia. Carmen also co-initiated the 89 Ways to Give Foundation and is on the Smashing Walnut donation committee board, donating time to her local fire and police departments and retired houses.

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.
