Below Deck season 10 is scheduled to return to Bravo this week with a brand new show featuring the introduction of a new stew and the return of Captain Lee Rosbach. Commander Sandy Yawn dismissed cook Alissa Humber in the prior show. Leigh-Ann Smith, her substitute, will join the boat before Captain Lee arrives in the forthcoming show. Leigh will recognize a familiar figure on the yacht, as deckhand Ben Willoughby and the visitor have dated in the past. According to the mid-season teaser for the show, the two will share some private moments in the forthcoming segments.

Leigh-Ann Smith is a Cape Town native.
Although Bravo has yet to share Leigh-Ann Smith’s formal description, her Instagram name reveals enough about her demeanor. Leigh, who was born in Cape Town, South Africa, is an experience seeker. She defines herself as a “Motorsport Fanatic, Ice-Cream Addict, and Career Visionary” in her Instagram profile. The majority of her web pictures show her competing in dirt bike events, as well as off-road motorbike and automobile rallies.
She has worked in the yachting business for over five years and has extensive knowledge of it. She has worked on several superyachts, including “Q,” and was the head cook on her prior boat. Leigh is extremely devoted to her family, which consists of her father and two brothers. In 2018, she lost her mother. Captain Colin Smith, her father, is a race car driver. Wayne Smith (Africa Cinema Academy Award candidate) and Guy Smith are her two brothers.
This week, Leigh will make her television premiere on Season 10 of Below Deck. She will serve as a cook under the direction of head chef Fraser Olender.
Date, location, and storyline of Below Deck season ten episode 14
Below Deck season ten episode 14 will broadcast on Bravo on Monday, February 27, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET. Leigh-Ann Smith, a new character member, will appear in the forthcoming show. Alissa Humber, who was dismissed by Commander Sandy in episode 13, has been replaced by her. In a teaser, the skipper informed the staff that the yacht’s original commander, Lee Rosbach, is poised to return.
For those who are uninformed, Captain Lee took a mid-season hiatus due to health issues. Sandy stepped in for Lee for a while, but she’ll be leaving in the next show. Below Deck season 10 episode 14, dubbed “Big Deck Energy,” has the following published synopsis:
“Cook Rachel prepares a memorable meal; the crew holds a 1980s party for the beauty queen guests; visitor LaQuish continues to irritate the interior team; Tony has a disagreement with Katie; and Ross is compelled to chastise his boat infatuation.”
The new show will feature both new and familiar characters, as well as the founding celebrity action. A party of guests aboard the boat in the prior show, and one of the guests, LaQuisha, irritated the staff members. In the forthcoming show, she will be seen continuing her irritating behavior. Meanwhile, Below Deck supporters are anxiously awaiting Captain Lee’s entrance because they dislike Sandy. Two workers, Alissa Humber, and Camille Lamb were dismissed while she was captain.
Commander Lee, cook Rachel Hargrove, and head simmers Fraser Olender is among the new staff members. They are also comprised of stew Hayley De Sola Pinto, stew Leigh-Ann Smith, deck stew Tyler Walker, bosun Ross McHarg, and three deckhands: Luis Antonio “Tony” Duarte, Katie Glaser, and Ben Willoughby.
