Fans are certain they know which cast member will quit or be fired first during the brand-new season of Lawrence Snowden who's replacing Nick Tatlock as the chef.

A Below Deck season 12 cast member is already experiencing a lot of stress, with fan boldly declarin that he will not make it through the entire charter season.

After Bravo released a preview of the Below Deck season 12 premiere showing Chef Lawrence experiencing a lot of stress right off the bat, fans flooded the comments section to boldly declare the chef will not make it through the entire charter season. The video is from the start of the premiere and shows the crew handling the provisions being brought on board the yacht. While discovering the galley, Lawrence its that he's dealt with anger and addictions in his past, and then tells the camera operator to not film him while he's dealing with a certain piece of equipment.

"It's going to be a long six weeks, isn't it?" he asks. Captain Kerry advises him not to try to take on everything if he experiences too much stress and instead ask for help. Later, as the provisions are being delivered, Lawrence calls the situation "carnage." The other cast start noticing the chef's stress, and he leans over the counter as it all becomes overwhelming.

In the comments section, fans expressed their worries over whether Lawrence is going to be able to handle the entire charter season. In fact, most of them went so far as to declare that he won't make it the entire season. @Carlosdgomez_ itted the chef doesn't have the right "energy to start off the first day on the boat." @lrangel2904 observed that Lawrence is already "cracking," even though the charter hasn't actually started yet. Meanwhile, several fans predicted his demise, with @adct80ne81 saying, "That chef isn't making [it] to the end of the season. May as well call Ben now."

What Chef Lawrence’s Stress On Day 1 Means For Below Deck Season 12

Below Deck Season 12 Will Only Get More Stressful

The fans are rightly worried about whether Chef Lawrence can make it through Below Deck season 12. The guests haven't even arrived yet, and he's already extremely overwhelmed by the job. Maybe he's not used to dealing with that many provisions. There's a chance his stress will calm down once he's packed everything away and can see a clean kitchen again. That's the best-case scenario.

Then again, once the guests show up, they'll be making all sorts of demands and force the chef to make last-minute changes or to rush a meal when plans change. None of those hypotheticals will help Lawrence battle his high stress levels. This is Below Deck, and nothing will be calm the entire charter season, especially for the chef, who tends to take the brunt of the criticism.

Our Take On Below Deck Fans Predicting Chef Lawrence Will Quit Or Be Fired

Chef Lawrence Needs To Ask For Help

It's interesting that Captain Kerry went out of his way to tell Chef Lawrence to ask for help if he gets too overwhelmed. Either he already sensed trouble on the horizon or he just wanted to ensure the chef knows that everyone's here to help. The chef always has one of the hardest jobs (if not the hardest job) on the entire yacht.

The guests complain about the food, and the interior team complains about how long it's taking to cook the food. I really hope Chef Lawrence is able to manage his stress because this won't be an enjoyable ride for him if he can't. If things get to be too much, hopefully, he reaches out for help like Captain Kerry suggested.

Below Deck season 12 premieres Monday, June 2 at 8 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
