‘Below Deck’ Fans Think Heather Chase Is Sarah Paulson’s Twin

Below Deck fans did a double-take when they saw Heather Chase. The new chief stew is the second to make her debut on the original series. She replaces Francesca Rubi, who left the show after one season. Francesca is now working as a Pilates instructor.

Heather will be the chief stew for Season 9. According to her bio, she wants to make sure that her guests have the best experience. When it comes to getting her stews to work, she admits that she will have to put those people in line. She hasn’t warmed up to fans already, but only time will tell if she will stick it out on the show.

Who is Heather Chase?

Kate Chastain was a fan favorite ever since she made her debut in Season 2. Fans loved her sarcastic sense of humor and her tablescapes. Now, it’s time for Heather Chase to take over during Below Deck Season 9. It’ll be interesting to see how her relationship with Captain Lee Rosbach will play out once he returns.

Heather may be new to the show, but she’s a part of the Below Deck universe. Below Deck Mediterranean alum Alex Radcliffe revealed that she’s a friend of his. Heather hails from Hawaii. She also has a job outside of yachting if this charter season doesn’t go well.

When she’s not serving guests on the high seas, Heather works as a certified yoga instructor. She has her own business under the name Heather Kapiolani Yoga. The new cast member often shares photos of herself doing yoga poses on Instagram. The blonde beauty also expresses gratitude and introspection.

Heather is going to need the positive vibes this season. At the end of the trailer, she looks like she’s crying. She may have a hard time getting along with some of her crew members. Yet, fans think that Heather could be an actress.

Below Deck fans think she looks like AHS star

Fans shared their thoughts on the new chief stew. Some of them are not happy with her work style already. And others think she’s coming down too hard on her stews. Other Below Deck fans couldn’t help but notice that Heather Chase looks like a famous actress.

Most of them think she looks like American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson. They took to Twitter on Monday night to sound-off about her looks. It seems like the overwhelming consensus in the tweets:

• “I think Bravo is trying to hire everyone that vaguely looks like Sarah Paulson.”
• “Sarah Paulson is really in everything.”
• “I didn’t know Sarah Paulson applied to be on #BelowDeck. Busy woman.“
• “Heather totally gives me Sarah Paulson vibes!“
• “I keep seeing Sarah Paulson anytime this chief stew is on the screen.“
