Bruno Duarte
📍 Lisbon, Portugal

A former cruise-ship guest-relations officer, Bruno brought hospitality flair (and the occasional skivvies show) to the deck. He doubled as Matt's sous chef and butted heads with Kate, who said she would rather work with Jen again than with him.

Bruno kept climbing in yachting: in 2019 he announced he had been hired as chief stew of the yacht Skyfall while also cooking as its chef, earning a congrats from Captain Sandy. He also announced his engagement to his partner, Joseph.
