Captain Kerry is Replacing Captain Lee

 

According to Us Weekly, Captain Lee Rosbach's time as the commander of the Below Deck franchise has come to an end. Bravo hasn’t officially confirmed the news, but multiple sources claim that Captain Lee will not return for Below Deck Season 11.  Instead, Below Deck Adventure star Captain Kerry Titheradge will take his place.

 

Rumors surrounding Captain Lee’s departure from Below Deck shouldn’t be too surprising for fans. The "Stud of the Sea" has been candid about his ongoing health issues. During Season 10, he had to step away from the St. David due to nerve pain.  He explained on the show, “The pain’s getting worse, not better. I owe it to my crew to do right by them. They expect that out of me.”  Don't you love how these reality TV pleasure boat captains love to make out like they're Navy Admirals fight wars on battle ships?

 

During an all-hands meeting, Captain Lee shared with his crew that he would be leaving the charter season early due to his health complications, and in a confessional told the viewers that he was paralyzed from the neck down.  Talk about being a drama queen. The news left the crew stunned and captainless. Captain Sandy Yawn then came onboard to fill in. Her addition left the crew and some viewers stunned and with mixed feelings.  I'm one of those viewers and have been over Cap't Sandy for years, ever since she conspired with Milaria and did Hannah so dirty.

 

While filling in, Captain Sandy has shown off her signature micromanagement evesdropping and buttinski style for on-screen drama, and almost immediately fired slutty stew Camille Lamb, then referred to chief stew Frasier as a cancer, and is now apparently on the verge of firing 2nd stew Alissa Hummer for subordination.

 

Before Kerry made his Bravo debut, Lee gave him some solid advice over a round of golf. “‘Be yourself. Be that same guy I was playing golf with,’” Kerry recalled of his conversation with Lee. “And then I asked him about social media and how to do that. I said, ‘I heard I should get someone to do it, so I don’t get caught up in it.’ He goes, ‘No, do your own social media. Don’t let anyone do that.’”
