Below Deck’s captain Kerry threatens Ben and Kyle in the middle of an argument

The Below decks the franchise is known for the drama of the cast and now From Captain Kerry Titheradge Below decks season 11 threatens Ben Willoughby and Kyle Stillie. Below decks season 11 has been filled with many different feuds between the cast, and some actors even decided to leave the boat alone (Cat Baugh) or fired (like Anthony Iracane). While many crew members have had issues with their captain, it’s rare that it turns into a full-blown feud like the one that’s now developing between Captain Kerry, Ben, and Kyle.

“This is complete disrespect and does not follow the chain of command.”

Ben and Kyle miserably fail their recent cabin inspection, infuriating Captain Kerry, seen in the preview for the next episode. Below decks season 11, with permission Bravoangrily threatening them with unknown consequences.

In the previous episode, Captain Kerry announced that cabin checks would be done on all crew members. Everyone else passed, but Ben and Kyle didn’t. The clip continues Captain Kerry sends Kyle and Ben to clean their cabin.

Is Captain Kerry too hard on Ben and Kyle?

Captain Kerry’s patience with Ben is running out

“Go downstairs and tidy up your room. And if you don’t, there are consequences,” he tells the two outside crew members. Captain Kerry is usually a fun, laid-back captain who tries to help his crew wherever he can, so his angry words to Kyle and Ben are unknown. “I have done everything I can to help you on this journey. I have shown respect to both of you. I’ve been here, and I’ve cut a** to help you guys,” he adds.

Although it may seem harsh to hear it so blatantly, Captain Kerry’s words are not inconsistent when it comes to Ben’s recent behavior. Ben started his time Saint David as deckhand, but when Bosun Jared Woodin left the boat, Captain Kerry promoted Ben to the position. Ben seemed to be on a promising rise to the top, but his recent actions gave Captain Kerry more and more reasons to fire Ben. His decision to willfully ignore Captain Kerry’s orders to clean their cabin because he didn’t want it was the last straw.

Earlier in the season, before Ben was promoted to Bosun, he took part in a “boat trip” with another deckhand, Sunny Marquis. The controversy arose when Ben decided to promote Sunny to Lead Deckhand, which seemed like a conflict of interest because he didn’t end his relationship with Sunny.. Another deckhand, Dylan Pierre De Villiers, believed at the time that he was the most qualified to lead. Dylan mentioned that he thought Sunny only got the job because she had an affair with Ben, and Dylan then spread rumors about Sunny.

Although Ben’s recent messes have been very disrespectful to Captain Kerry, Ben hasn’t been terrible all season, although he does tend to be a bit full of himself. He understands how to work on a boat and what needs to be done to make things run smoothly, but Ben’s attitude towards other people and his superiors could use a lot of work if he wants to continue climbing the leadership ladder in sailing. Captain Kerry’s angry conversation with Ben and Kyle about their blatant disrespect for him hopefully shakes Ben up.
