Below Deck fans “confused” by Captain Kerry’s unexpected Season 11 interrogation

During the last charter on Below Deck Season 11, Captain Kerry Titheradge’s stricter behavior towards the crew left fans feeling confused.

Despite being praised by the crew for his hands-on leadership on Below Deck Season 11, Captain Kerry Titheradge is now demonstrating a tougher management approach as the season comes to a close.

During the May 20 episode, Captain Kerry conducted a walkthrough of the boat and reprimanded Bosun Ben Willoughby for his failure to thoroughly clean the jetskis and maintain the outer appearance of the boat.

He additionally made the decision to conduct spontaneous checks of the crew cabins while the guests were on board. He was disappointed to find that Ben and deckhand Kyle Stillie did not treat it with importance and had left their room in a disheveled state.

Fans of Below Deck were then curious about the unexpected shift in Captain Kerry’s demeanor towards the St. David crew, as seen in a discussion on Reddit.

One viewer expressed their confusion about the cabin check that took place during the last charter, saying they were happy to see Ben get yelled at but wondering if it was a first for any of the BD shows or seasons. They acknowledged the importance of cabin checks, but questioned the timing and potential involvement of production.

A different fan also concurred that production may have requested the cabin check, theorizing that it was a deliberate attempt to stir up drama since there were no major conflicts with the guests or crew during the season.

A different individual recalled that cabin checks are a common practice in the industry and on the show, and specifically recalled a captain discussing it on a previous season of Below Deck.

Captain Kerry is managing the crew on Below Deck Season 11

During the end of the charter season, Captain Kerry surprised the crew with an interrogation to ensure that they were still fulfilling their duties and not becoming lax in their work.

As time passes, the crew’s exhaustion on the boat is increasing. Ben was reprimanded for disregarding the captain’s instructions, while stew Barbie Pascual returned from her break half an hour behind schedule due to falling asleep.

Captain Kerry’s main goal is to ensure that the team stays focused and avoids errors in order to end the season on a positive note.
