Bravo hasn’t formally confirmed the information. But a number of sources declare that Captain Lee won’t 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 shocking for followers. The Stud of the Sea has been candid about his ongoing well being points. During Season 10, he needed to step away from the yacht as a consequence of nerve ache. He defined on the present, “The pain’s getting worse, not better. I owe it to my crew to do right by them. They expect that out of me.”
During an all-hands assembly, Captain Lee shared with the St. David crew that he could be leaving the constitution season early as a consequence of his well being issues. The information left the crew shocked and captainless. Captain Sandy Yawn got here onboard to fill in. Her addition left viewers and the yacht crew with blended emotions.
While filling in on the helm of St. David, Captain Sandy has proven off her signature micromanagement fashion and propensity for on-screen drama. She fired stew Camille Lamb. For the chief stew Fraser Olender, he admitted that Sandy took some getting used to —particularly as a fill-in for Lee.
“I think they have, overall, very different management styles. I knew Captain Lee, and I knew how he worked,” Fraser stated. “I knew how he liked things to be run. He also trusted me, and he gave me the confidence to be creative and enjoy my take on [it].”
Although Captain Lee was initially grateful for Captain Sandy’s willingness to fill in, the 2 have been feuding on-line over their completely different administration kinds and Sandy’s choice to fireplace Camille. On the opposite hand, Captain Kerry and Captain Lee appear to be on wonderful phrases. Before Kerry made his Bravo debut, he says that Lee gave him some stable recommendation over a spherical of golf.
“‘Be yourself. Be that same guy I was playing golf with,’” Kerry recalled of his dialog 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.’”
Before Below Deck Adventure premiered, the 2 captains bumped into one another at BravoCon. Kerry stated the Stud of the Sea shared much more phrases of knowledge for navigating his new actuality TV profession.
“The show hadn’t been out yet, but we got a chat, and he’s like, ‘Man, you’re gonna do great. You’re gonna do really good. I can see it.’ He says, ‘You’re gonna do fantastic in this franchise.’ And then he chatted with my daughter. It was cool,” Captain Kerry stated.
So, it appears like there’s nothing however good power between Captain Kerry and Captain Lee. It must be a clean transition of energy between the 2.
