Also Captain Lee hasn't been made completely aware of what Ashton has been doing. If he knew about the kissing with Kate or punching the car window I believe Capt Lee would have fired him immediately. He also didn't know the extent of the "boys club" issues. He has said numerous times on twitter that if he knew more he would have done more about it.

That's why I said that I don't trust Bravo editing - I hope you are both right. I would LOVE it if he did what Kate suggested in her interview and just move her to the interior crew. Give her the joy of watching the deck crew struggle. Heck, if they want some great TV, they should switch Rhylee and Symone - give Symone some time reporting to Ashton so she can truly appreciate leadership! We'll see. The glimmer of hope for me is that in he scenes for the season at the beginning, there was a scene shown where Capt Lee says everyone needs to sit down and stay there until they work it out, and we have not seen that yet. So maybe that is how he deals with the Rhylee thing?

Oh it would be glorious to have Rhylee stay on in the interior crew. She has lashed out on Captain Lee a bit on twitter so that does sort of make me think he lets her go. But I'm really crossing my fingers for a better outcome. Like I've said Rhylee isn't my favorite...and she hasn't been the majorities favorite. But twitter seems to be Team Rhylee....which says a lot about Ashton

He has said numerous times on twitter that if he knew more he would have done more about it. Totally agree with you on that. He's been very vocal about what he did not know. But ... is there a place for him to push for more information? I mean for everything Kate will do, it's very out of character for her to abandon the boat and not give him an explanation. Granted, we saw an edited version of the conversation, and more could have been said. But it seems odd to me that in a situation like that, he would not have asked more questions and pushed for more information. I think that if he did, Kate would have told him. Is this a result of producer interference, where they wanted the drama, so Capt Lee had to be kept in the dark? Who knows. On the 100th episode celebration on WWHL last night, Capt Lee did explain why so many of his favorite crew members were from early seasons by saying they were just experienced yachties who came on to do yacht work. He didn't say it, but did kind of imply that there's more TV production interference now - which is no surprise at all.

I don't think Rhylee will get fired. Though I am kind of surprised that she was brought back this season. Cause with the previous season that she was on, Captain Lee had said that he would have fired her right away if he had known more details at the time about how she was treating Ross.

I thought there was a clip earlier in the season of Capt Lee saying he had to let someone go. ? Maybe it was the way it was edited, or it could have been another season I’m thinking of. lol
That said, and I hope I’m totally wrong, I think he does fire Rhylee. :/

I saw a short clip from Watch what happens live where they had around 15 or so of the Below Deck cast from over the years on it. Did anyone see that episode?

Rocky shows no growth.
Who is Ben dating in Florida that everyone laughed? Captain Lee's wife is so cute.
I've forgotten a lot of these people and their drama (s).

So you were right and Capt Lee did the right thing! I do have to disagree with him on the hands off approach to Ashton now. It’s not micromanaging to tell him that giving Rhylee menial tasks to see how long she can take it is not making an effort! I am liking the way that Kate and Rhylee have bonded in their shared isolation.

Yes...I have been enjoying Kate and Rhylee's friendship as well. Also liking Courtney a lot more. Anyone who isn't a part of the boys club is a friend of mine They are all just fumbling idiots. I can't believe Brian thought sending Courtney that kind of text was a good idea?!? And what is wrong with her going to Kate to vent about it? They are so immature. Captain Lee has said he will never work with Ashton again. And Rhylee also thanked him for giving her another chance. And can we talk about Alexis? Omg. Keep your tongue in your mouth! Talk about thirsty. She said I love you two times to that guy and he didn't reply.

I actually would like to see them bring Ashton back for one more season, but make him a deckhand again. Put him under a somewhat controlling Bosun and anytime he complains, just have Capt Lee smile and say that he needs to learn the actual job of a Bosun. Not really ... I don't want to make Capt Lee suffer for my entertainment.
I think the boys rules for gossiping on the boat are quite clear. They can do it all they want and it's necessary to share notes. The girls are absolutely prohibited from doing it at any time as it risks that they may figure out all the lies and double crossing the guys are doing.
The scenes from last week made it look like the bond between Kate and Rhylee may be over soon. But again ... we can't trust the previews!

Alexis was pathetic!
Having watched her on RHoOC, last night she was totally showing off to her EX!
I cannot believe how obnoxious she was carrying on with her BF!
😡🤮🤮🤮

It actually made me sad for her. When a person has to work that hard to make the world think life is great, it leaves me thinking life really isn't. It's like she was trying to convince herself instead of the audience. She and Jim were married long enough that she should know - kissing at some point will fade ... they should talk from time to time to make sure they'll enjoy being around each other when it does.

I was thinking that she must have paid him. Who would put up with all of that? Funny, when Alexis was smooching all over that man, I said 'eww' and then, Kate said 'eww'. sigh, I love Kate. I mean, she was so over the top it was embarrassing.
Ugh, so sick of these dumb boys. They gross me out.

I feel bad for Simone. Tanner didn't want to get serious with her and now her own boss wants to sleep with him. It's rather messed up and odd that both Kate and Tanner were even thinking about hooking up. If Kate and Simone were getting along better, I wonder if Kate would have different thoughts about that.

I don't think that anyone else on the yacht ever saw Tanner and Simone as serious enough to be something they could not interfere with. Simone went along with the commentary that they were just hooking up with no feelings - so why would Kate or anyone else think he could not be touched?

Simone tried to deny that she didn't have feelings for Tanner? lol If she got upset that he was dancing with another girl, I don't think she would take it that well that he started sleeping with her boss shortly after being with her. lol

She's gotten upset when he's given attention to other girls, and she's also said she doesn't care and they were just messing around. If she cannot honestly express how she feels, why on earth should any of her co-workers cater to her mixed messages?

Andy confirmed on WWHL last night that there will be a Below Deck reunion for this season airing Feb 10. Thank goodness! Ashton was on the show trying to answer to what he's done this season, and I don't think he did a very good job of redeeming himself. He gave the pat answers about self reflection blah blah blah. Andy asked him at one point if he hurt things with Rhylee by warning the other deckhands about her before she arrived, and he completely dodged the issue. He tried to claim that she has an issue with men because she's worked with 6 different crew members and didn't get along with any of them. I think the truth there is that she has an issue with authority which is why she's challenged Ashton, Chandler, Kate and Capt Lee. But she's also come around on Kate and Capt Lee when they didn't get into the mud with her ... and Capt Lee clearly got past it when he refused to fire her. I would love it if during the reunion, Kate or Capt Lee explained to Ashton how leaders deal with challenges like Rhylee. He seems to have no comprehension at all that he's made the situation worse by taking sides and making it so obvious. It really stood out during the lunch scene last night when Rhylee was one of the last to get her food and no one would make space for her at the table. I get it - when you don't like a person you don't want to eat with them. But as Bosun, Ashton had no business taking sides in that moment. A real leader should stand up for someone who works under him and speak up to make room for her. Instead, it seemed like the others were hesitant to make room for her because they'd be going against Ashton.

Here’s a key thing Kevin will never understand about what got him to the embarrassment of taking a cake out to a primary guest who’d gone to bed ... all season he’s dictated service to Kate. He’s told her who would serve what and how it would be served. She told him it was disrespectful and not his call and he kept doing it, and insulting her along the way. Reality of being a chef is that being in the kitchen you’re often not out there for the glory. Kevin couldn’t deal with that. So Kate gave up. She let him have his way and quit trying to fight back. So when he decided he was presenting the cake and taking the glory she let him. If he’d listened to her all season and let her do her job she would have told him the primary went to bed. But he believed he was above listening to her. Dick ... cake.

I did see that preview Jory's Mom -- kind of unbelievable. I cannot wait for that reunion!!!!! Though I'm sure that a lot of it will be dedicated to the guys explaining that all their bad behavior was caused by other people, and I'm not sure my eyes can handle all that rolling!

So I finally watched Sailing Yacht last night (a day late) and I enjoyed it. It's obviously structured just like the other Below Decks so it's familiar. I was happy to see Adam on board. He's one of my favorite Below Deck chefs. The yacht was a disaster though! I have a feeling I'm not going to like Paget and Ciara much. I already have a bad vibe from them. They seem snooty about being original crew from that yacht and I'm already over their relationship. I don't think they are going to get along with the rest of the crew very well either. I'm liking the interior girls so far and the other deckhand. So far a ....anyone else watch it?

The captain of the sailing yacht is so far my favorite part. The dynamic with the couple is odd, but I think that will subside. Not having the right supplies, including steak knives, felt very staged and I didn't like that part. But overall I like the crew. I wish the chief stew would just get on with telling them what to do and not preamble everything with "i'm tough and people don't like me but I know what I want". She's setting them up not to like her
