Favorite Captain Lee moment? 🤔

[@BrendaMoore-ff6jm]

Not bringing cap Lee back is a huge mistake.the other shows are not as fun to watch.if capt Lee is gone,then I will no longer watch below deck in any version.shame on decision makers

[@Karma-yd1fl]

Captain Lee is the ONLY reason I kept watching. ALL his moments are my favorite

[@rmes6]

When he gave up his captain's quarters for that poor young lady who didn't have a room because some other "snit" wouldn't share Pure class! What a gentlemen❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ReadsCreations]

I can’t believe that Captain Lee hasn’t been asked back. I really don’t like Captain Sandy - Captain Lee is a of a totally higher calibre to her so please bring him back. An absolute gentleman.

[@rmes6]

@Karma-yd1fl Big mistake Andy Sometimes age doesn't matter but seems andy only cares about the almighty dollar and Ratings

[@tarasilverman5143]

I LOVE Captain Lee!!! Don’t let him go!!!!

[@katheywhearley7953]

I don’t want to watch without him!

[@SipWatchTravel]

I will…but I’ll miss him a lot.

[@miiaroitto8830]

His getting old..

[@marshalevin671]

Poor form on Captain Sandy’s part. Such a disappointment

[@rmes6]

​@marshalevin671 so agree disappointed in sandy maybe no respect on her part She could never be a captain lee😮

[@purepoison618]

Oh my gawwwd, I can’t quite believe what I am hearing - Captain Lee IS Below Deck. He Captained the entire Below Deck franchise and to think he won’t be there Captaining his series, is like taking the butter off popcorn to me - you can still eat the popcorn but it’s just not as enjoyable as when it has that warm butter drizzled over it. For myself, Below Deck May still be filmed and some may enjoy watching the episodes, but now it will always be missing the ‘butter’.... Capt Lee has always been and will always be my favorite Capt.

[@pennybowers8001]

Captain Lee is the man , well new direction my ass he is great

[@GramMooakaRed]

Bring the man back !!!!!

[@rad1248]

Please bring Captain Lee back!! Below Deck isn’t the same without him! He is the heart of the show!!

[@coloradoken3159]

Captain Lee was, is and will always be the best on this series.

[@Kltina00000]

There is no better Captain than Captain Lee! Have not watched since he left!

[@vickibock-ledbetter1965]

We need to let Andy / Bravo know how we feel just because he had to take time off to recoup is no reason to get rid of him, he can run circles around most of these young men !!!

[@peggyjackson3710]

Captain Lee was the only one I watched... I hope Bravo knows what they are doing.... Only show I watched on bravo

[@EtVoilaBrigitte]

What? I didn't know - BD without Captain Lee? I can't imagine it at all :-(

[@jayoleary8655]

What No Captain Lee !! I’m done with Below Deck !!!

[@davidgilbert8614]

Sorry to see Captain Lee go. So far the best captain ever on this show or any of its spin offs.

[@daniellekaminski3105]

His series was the first one I watched and the reason why I watched the other ones… I’m shocked and kinda pissed

[@ifkatatar9225]

One Of My Favorite Shows,💙 Ya Captain

[@annfisher3316]

He was level headed, not enough drama for their reality show.

[@mariefox111]

Bring captain lee back I loved watching him won't be watching if he's not back on our TV....

[@CS-pi5oc]

As far as Capt Sandy’s firings..u sometimes need to act swiftly in the moment. Yes, u would want to get that call on the topic, but it wasn’t the first mate she was letting go. Capt Lee is right that a call was the best route, but it was no big deal. We would love him back.

[@pamelaperry3507]

I don't watch b/c of Captain Sandy

[@jennipeach2565]

Captain Lee...the best Captain...ever!!!

[@fuzzykyrra]

They should have at very least had the decency to let Captain Lee have an official final season so that he would be in the loop from the start of the season that it would be his last with the show. Bravo - Bravo - for being tacky and messy as always 👎

[@ElizabethPelser-f2z]

Oh no! as an an old" yottie" absolutely love him...

[@redlilwitchy6088]

I live Captain Lee!!

[@mtwolf13a]

Captain Lee and Captain Glen are my favorite captains. I refuse to watch the show when Sandy is the captain. Absolutely can't stand that woman. Overbearing pain in the butt.

[@tommydecastro2047]

Below deck staring capt Eddie

[@soundrabertarelli7017]

Captain Lee is definitely Below Deck! His show is absolutely the best. I always look forward to the new season with him!!! 😢 I won’t be watching without him.

[@annbenthall4205]

LOVED CAPTAIN LEE

[@irenetsomidis2167]

Everyone needs to retire at some point in their life! His time has come to enjoy his retirement!

[@purepoison618]

@irenetsomidis2167 Yeah, tell Betty White that.... ☺️

[@kbanghart]

​@@purepoison618how? She's passed.

[@kbanghart]

I just finished S1 of the original below deck, and Lee comes off as too hands off and afraid to fire someone. I definitely prefer Capts Sandy and Jason.

[@laceybanter5937]

He probably is a insurance liability. He could barely walk! It was not entertaining to watch.

[@BH19780]

Best Captain of all. Brutality honest. I hope he enjoys his retirement from the sho. But they will need him back ! He made the show.

[@jennieleemaskolunas4321]

We Need You back Captain Lee 💗 You are an Inspiration and You are the Man !!! They Can’t Replace You ! How can they Deny the Stud of the Sea ! So much Love and Respect 💞🙏

[@nancydoo7749]

Wow I had no idea he was pushed out. He 100% is the heart of the show and I would say worst case scenario would be to have him host a weekly recap.

[@a.a.p3254]

Wow,so disappointed Captain Lee is the Best he started the whole thing. The whole series is all ready starting to look stale all same little kids whining about nothing and getting drunk on tequila. The whole Bravo franchise is sponsored by Tequila company. Nasty shit. Very disappointed Bravo!

[@LandandHomesHawaii]

I want Capt Lee back asap--I wont watch without him on the series

[@frankwatts3374]

I wish there was a way to start a petition that the fans of Capt. Lee be brought back and $$ talks that if there were a big drop in the ratings that its known by the producers the reason why that until Captain Lee Rosbach is brought back they'll be a boycott of not only his Below Deck show but all the Below Deck shows! It'd be hard but ratings that are down sends a message and $$$ talks and that's the bottom line! He was and is Top Shelf when it comes to the Below Deck Series!

[@kbanghart]

​@@frankwatts3374nope. I love Sandy and Jason. Plus Lee has physical condition he cannot continue

[@dianakidd4219]

@@frankwatts3374 He says GD too much. So offensive. I’m glad he’s going.

[@OCTOBERBABY7901]

​@@dianakidd4219me too! I believe captain crunch and Kate were playing around w each other. Hence thr reason he always put up w her toxic behavior.

[@sheilasilvola6196]

If Bravo dumped Captain Lee, they dumped me! He is why I started watching this show!!! He is the father figure the crew desperately needs. Great morals and great sayings! COME BACK CAPTAIN LEE!

[@michellewarren6658]

Yes indeed!

[@robbiet8583]

I want to hear Capt Lee tell us again how this entire show started with him so many years ago. It is a GREAT story!!! I miss you Capt Lee!!!

[@kelabell6505]

A Big mistake he's the only reason why I started watching the show he's real smart and speaks the truth I love him

[@dolly2106]

Totally agree would not have watched only for Lee. Let them kiss your ass your not done Handsome hunk 😢😢😊

[@dianakidd4219]

I’m glad he’s gone. Cusses way too much. GD is so offensive.

[@user-cl6ct5hq9o]

Big mistake, big mistake. In my Julia Roberts voice.😂

[@Modern_Homegirl]

Captain Lee MADE Below Deck! Captain Sandy is so awful and disgusting. I haven’t watched since she violated Hannah’s privacy, and I won’t watch a season that Clyde’s her!

[@PriscillaLange]

Sandy is the worst. Terrible manager who thinks she’s a legend.

[@paulmansfield2019]

I’ve worked with a lot of celebrities over the last 20 years and Captain Lee has to be one of my favorites. Stand up guy, no ego and very down to earth. Really enjoyed my time working with him. Sad to see they let him go the way they did.

[@takeiteasy7062]

No ego??? 😮 really???

[@dianakidd4219]

I’m glad he’s gone.

[@RealMcCoy0205]

Captain Lee is all ego. Captain Lee had to walk off stage during a reunion show due to his ego was being challenged.

[@robbiet8583]

@@RealMcCoy0205 No. He was reacting to Ashton’s BS excuses, and he didn’t want to lose control. Pilots, Boat Captains and people who must keep their head in emergencies know what that means. Walk away before you say something or do something you would regret. I admire Captain Lee. He started this show, so I do wish Bravo had done right by him. There really is no excuse for the way Bravo handled that. They should have thrown him the greatest party ever!!! ❤Captain Lee.

[@bravoblogbitch9105]

Omg I am shocked!! Captain Lee IS below deck 😢

[@nunyobusiness777]

I think it had to do with Captain Sandy, who I really can't stand anymore after the way she treated his crew. I love Captain Lee. This was so unfair to him.

[@mtwolf13a]

Couldn't agree more. I can't stand Capt Sandy. Overbearing PITA.

[@dolly2106]

Let sandy go Lee gave her the start cheek of her. Think her, 💩 dosent smell. She got too big for her boots bring back captain Lee or I'm done. Just like teresa in housewives 😅

[@RealMcCoy0205]

It has zero to do with Captain Sandy and everything to do with Captain Liars health issues.

[@Speakeasy-den]

I want to see Captain Lee brought back on the show. I love this man!

[@mobaycomama4590]

Why would they let Captain Lee go? He's the heart of the show. That's insanity.

[@hresnick93]

Agree !

[@bonnies4805]

I’d guess his health. He was not in good shape, when he returned to the boat. Possible contract negotiations…$$$$$$$$……

[@jrx2662]

agree 100%

[@jagl8180]

He’s a grumpy old man

[@rmes6]

I love captain lee Captain sandy too overbearing watching over the guests while they were eating So so miss him😢

[@SipWatchTravel]

No. Way!!! I’m going to miss Captain Lee. 😭

[@kellyarthur8246]

I will NEVER watch Below Deck without Captain Lee. We Love Love Love him. ❤❤ He made the show.

[@taryngowder3223]

Same! I'm dome without Captain Lee!

[@ivanmontes2586]

Bring captain Lee back

[@I-md6mq]

He was too unprofessional for my liking

[@cathycadra7259]

Captain Lee IS Below Deck! Can’t imagine it without him😢

[@SimplyLolly]

Hence the comment "Who said I’m retiring?" - come'on Brovo… what’s fresher than watching the STUD of the SEA every week? Capt Lee is the reason Below Deck has the fan base it does ~ HE made the show what it is!! And if they put Kerry in his place… oh heaven help us!! Please NO! Kerry is boring, blah & dry… Jason would be a better fit but NO ONE can replace the OG CAPT LEE!❤️

[@a.a.p3254]

Captain Kerry is so blah blah boring. Captain Lee made the show and brought use all there! It’s getting tired all ready!

[@patriciablazek3706]

The show was getting boring

[@cd4387]

While I’m surprised Captain Lee wasn’t asked back, I’m not sad over it. He wasn’t my favorite. He’s grown into a grumpy old man.

[@Owldwoman61]

Captain Lee , tragically lost his son to an overdose.

[@loristokes6787]

No captain like captain Lee! Not interested in below deck without him, no other captain has ever lived up to him! Show will sink without him, WTF are you thinking Bravo!

[@davidgeorge000]

When they lose money because no one's watching and they realize what a monumental mistake they made. Make them pay you 3 times your salary.

[@ingeliseolsen1450]

I always thought Captain Lee was the best, what happened? I never liked or watched Captain Sandy until I was forced to when Captain Lee got ill and had to go home for a while.

[@summarrodriguez1548]

Huge mistake of Bravo!! We want Capt Lee back!!

[@SandraLargaes]

Of course he wasn’t invited, he could barely move around. We love and respect him but I think he and the rest of the people commenting are in denial about his health

[@janetramirez2695]

Capt Lee and Kate is Deck Below. without them is not the same. The other branches are ok DB just hits different.

[@tammystout8158]

How can you captain a boat when you can't even walk or barely stand up?! It's sad and pathetic that you can't just retire on a good note. A captain needs to be able to assist his crew and passenger's in an emergency. Instead you want to add to the problem having to have someone rescue you too. That's just selfish! Not to mention dangerous. Your doc needs his license yanked for clearing you! And where you taking pain meds out there too? NO SIR, not on a boat I was vacationing on! Besides you're just becoming a mean old man and always playing favorites. Time to go, and take Sandy with you! Ughhhh.... 🙄🥱🫡🚫💊🩼🏝🛳⚓️

[@IaneHowe]

Its because he didn't allow low trash dramawhen it came to guests like the direction TLC is taking all their shows.

[@traceejohnson290]

"We want to move in a new direction", Were they saying he is too old🤔

[@dabg623]

He will always be boat daddy!!! You can replace him, but there will always be a giant gaping hole without Capt. Lee. If it’s not broken, why fix it??????

[@PriscillaLange]

I got a gaping hole you could fill

[@marybarry2649]

Captain Lee is awesome 👍! Bring him back. Stud Of The Sea. Come back "big daddy"!!!(Eddie's voice)!!!😅😂

[@bunnyduncan]

@Captain-lee1 You’re not fooling anyone! The real Captain Lee would never make any of the spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors you have.

[@ScoutFinch713]

Wow that is horrible 😢 Captain Lee IS Below Deck

[@yolandamartinez4641]

He was great on the show BUT now he can't move quickly and his health could effect the safety of the boat

[@nunyobusiness777]

You DO realize he's still a captain & the boat sails with or without the show, right?

[@Plantlady70]

There is no Below Deck without the Stud of the Sea.

[@katherineravanello5128]

After what CPtain Sandy did I stopped watching her show. I’m now down to watching below deck yachting

[@narmen6942]

Captain Lee IS the show. We’ll see how this goes. First Kate, now Capt. Lee. 😢😮

[@mommas1276]

So Bravo gets rid of Captain Lee but keeps an ANIMAL like Teresa Giudice???? Captain Lee is the reason I watch!

[@ShimmerClouds-gs2mb]

He was the only crew member that didn't act like a disgraceful horny beast. Basically he is the only likeable person.

[@tiffanimorris7127]

His mind is telling him yes but his body is telling him no!! It's time to listen to your body and not be a liability. I found him very boring, petty, and i think the success of the show went to his head. He's the typical salty cantankerous old sea dog and wasn't a fair leader always playing favorites

[@patriciajones6771]

You have to be the BIGGEST HATER, EVER, my God, What did you call him? AN OLD CANTANKEROUS SEA DOG, I wonder what people think about you, as a person thinks , thats who they are, but maybe we have to wait for you to get old to become THE CANTANKEROUS SHREW.

[@RobinMarlow-u9m]

No Captain Lee. No me

[@katherineravanello5128]

I’ll not watch below deck without Captain Lee

[@donnaclay9611]

Won't watch without him favorite Captain Sandy was wrong 😢

[@mbererm]

He’ll always be the stud of the sea

[@jmenezdesigns2945]

Capt Lee can barely walk, have some class captain move on. Captain Sandy is a better choice, Lee barely did his job and rarely added any daily content. Stayed in the bridge without any insight or management.

[@billydonna5864]

Their viewership is going to drop dramatically. Without lee why watch? His personality made watching the show fun. The antics of the crew always met with the spicy commentary from the salty old sailor. We would watch and say ooh what's Cap'n gonna say about that ?! It just won't be worth watching without him😢

[@robynvandergrift8360]

I can’t stand Sandy. Now w Lee, Kate, Eddie, Ben and Rachel off the show, I’ll only watch Sailing Yacht. Glen, Gary, Colin and Daisy are great.

[@Michael-hq1iq]

gary is a slimeball and next season if he is on sailing I wont watch

[@YvetteFrost]

I love Captain Lee and am very sad that they let him go. I hope they realize their mistake and actually i would not have wanted to talk to Sandy either and she should have reached out to him She is very extra.

[@calireel2067]

I want Captain Lee!!!!!

I may not watch now without captain Lee. You will be missed. Brovo, what are you thinking. You can't help it if you get sick or hurt. He always does his job.

[@LUNA_1111]

Captain Lee was the ONLY reason I watched! Never liked any of the Below Decks w/ Captain Sandy or Malia something not genuine bout them. I do enjoy Captain Glenn & his crew but nothing will ever beat the Original with Captain Lee! 😢Bummed he won’t be back!

He was cool on the show. Bring him back.

[@cremebrulee4759]

NO, NO, NO!!!!! I was just wondering when Below Deck was going to have its turn in the schedule. Captain Lee is the original and also the best. He IS the Stud of the Sea. If Bravo wants to go in a different direction, I will be going in a different direction as well, ending my viewership of the franchise.
