10x18 - Reunion

[bunniefuu]

We are here for
a 'Below Deck' celebration

with a man who's a boat daddy
to the entire nation.

It's 'Watch What Happens Live'
with Captain Lee, now.

on Bravo TV ♪

All right,
hey everybody.

Welcome to
'Watch What Happens Live.'

I'm your host Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse.

Tonight, I have chartered
a trip down memory lane

to celebrate ten seasons
of 'Below Deck.'

So let's welcome
the guest of honor.

He's been a yacht captain
for almost 40 years,

and we've had the joy
of watching ten seasons

of 'Below Deck' with him
at the helm.

Give it up for the stud
of the sea,

Captain Lee Rosbach!
[cheering and applause]

Hey, Captain Lee.

Does it feel like


- Not at all.
- Not at all?

- No, it...
- It went by like this?

It really doesn't.
It went by in a heartbeat.

And I bet when you first
signed on for 'Below Deck,'

you'd never thought
it would go ten years.

I never thought
it'd go past two weeks.

Yes.

Over at the bar, we have
one of Captain Lee's

former charter guests
who also happens to be

a former 'Real Housewife
of Atlanta.'

Say hi to Claudia Jordan.
Hey, Claudia.

[cheering and applause]

Uh, Claudia, during your
charter with Cynthia Bailey,

a stew dressed up
as a cat for you

and you were hand fed
strawberries by the deckhand.

So now the tables are turned.
You gotta...

you have to, um,
you have to cater

to all of Captain Lee's
whims tonight.

Wow, what am I getting
myself into?

I know, right?

Um, what was your favorite
memory of Captain Lee

when you chartered Eros
with Cynthia

to celebrate her birthday?
- I had a fantastic time.

I... you were amazing
and we just love you.

Aw, that is so nice.

By the way, you look like
a million dollar bill.

- Thank you, Andy.
- Yes, you look really good.

- I'm about to be 50.
- All right.

Well, it looks good on you.
Drinking game alert.

My guests won't know it.

Anytime you hear
anyone say this word,

if you're 21 or over,
drink until your bartender

channels Captain Lee
and starts handing out

plane tickets home.

You know, I wanna point out.

We have Captain Lee's wife,
Mary Anne,

in the audience
with us tonight.

Great to see you.

Uh, well tonight,
we're celebrating

a decade of 'Below Deck.'

It premiered all the way
back in July, 2013.

It spawned 'Below Deck Med,'
'Sailing Yacht,'

'Down Under,' and 'Adventure.'

Uh, Captain Lee,
it's just amazing

to think that
it's been 10 years.

And I have to say
through those ten years

when you whip out
a one-liner,

uh, you may not
understand the meaning,

but it probably means
you've messed up.

So let's take a look back
at some of our favorite

Captain Lee-isms
from over the years.

I am madder than
a pissed-on chicken.

I'm gonna eat somebody's ass
for dinner.

Jesus Christ, I could
[BLEEP] up a two-car funeral.

Right now, the pucker effect
is so strong

you couldn't drive
a straight pin up my ass

with a ten pound sledgehammer.

They don't deliver.

They can give their
soul to Jesus

'cause their ass
belongs to me.

I'll just come apart
like a cheap suit

all over somebody for
not having their radio.

Christ, I feel like
a one legged man

in an ass-kicking contest.

I hope she doesn't let
her dumptruck mouth

overload her wheelbarrow ass.

Christ, I look like
a pork sandwich

at a church picnic.

I'd rather sandpaper
a tiger's ass

in a phone booth
than miss the charter.

[chuckling]

This charter... wow.

I think I would
rather have somebody

pull me through a knot hole
in the fence by my d*ck.

[laughing]

I think that one
was my favorite.

I was gonna ask...
- Was it?

Yeah.

I think that one
was my favorite.

- The-the visual on that just...
- Yeah.

- Kills me everytime.
- Yes, me too.

Uh, by the way, I do have
one question for you

about the current season.

Uh, Lola Z. and-and
so many more asked,

after watching the season back,
who should've left first,

Camille or Alissa?

I'd have fired them both
on the spot.

All right, uh,
well good segue.

Captain Lee runs
a tight ship,

so if you screw the pooch
and he gets stern,

you better bow your head
and say 'Aye aye, Captain,'

or else there's
gonna be hell to pay.

Watch.
- Go downstairs and tell me

that salt is on
the.....ing inside.

- No-no, that's...-
- That's right.

And it's been there
for two.....ing days.

Everybody happy?

So happy.

Good.

Because I'm not.

This is not your personal
- ing party palace.

I'm.....ing pissed.

So when I walk through
this boat at 11:00,

I better not see
a swinging d*ck anywhere.

What I'd like to do is
rip your.....ing head off.

Excuses are just silly
ass.....ing reasons

for people not doing
their g*dd*mn jobs.

If I have to solve
your problems with your crew,

then what do I need you for?
I need to get this line here.

Cap, no-no-no-no.

Captain.

- I got this. Jesus Christ.
- Let someone else do that.

Captain Lee is like
Tarzan-ing it over the gunnels.

A little bit crazy,
but also, like, so badass.

You can't have anything.

You need to get
your g*dd*mn ass

back to this boat now!

You stepped over the line.

I'm not gonna tolerate
this behavior much longer.

Your charter just ended.

Wanna come back
to the boat, Kat?

- Not really.
- You're drunk, really?

I'm just trying
to have a nice time.

I know that I am in hell

and that Captain Lee
is the devil.

And today, someone
did the towel

in the form of a penis.

That's...

Different.

It's career su1c1de.

I know you did it.

I made a rocketship
on the bed.

That's not a rocketship.

We both know it's not,
so let's drop the semantics.

This hour tonight, I don't
need to hear slamming doors

or loud voices.

If anybody has
an issue with that,

I'll be in my quarters.

And y'all come see me
all or collectively,

one at a time,
I don't give a [BLEEP].

They're acting like assholes.

I've had enough.

There'll be hell to pay
in the morning

and I'm mad at those
mother.....ers.

I swear to God...
- Captain Lee!

I thought I broke
the windows on that.

You thought you broke
the windows when you did that?

- I swear to God I did.
- Oh, my gosh. Uh, okay.

Captain Lee, I'm being told
there's a virtual fan

who wants to say hi.

Let's see who it is.

Oh, it's Kate Chastain!

Wow, your former chief stew
for six seasons.

Kate, first of all, uh,
how's the pregnancy going?

You-you due soon?

I'm due soon.
I can't wait!

[laughing]

Kate, um, if you had
to pinpoint

your favorite moment
working for Lee,

what would it be?

I really love all the times
that Lee would dress up

in costumes, uh,
that I chose.

He was such a good sport
about it,

and the charter guests
loved it.

Um, who do you think
is Captain Lee's

least favorite crew member
of all time?

Ooh, I think,

mm, uh, oh, probably...

there was one guy.
He didn't last long, obviously.

Uh, his name was Dane.
He didn't do much work.

He drank a lot.
He didn't have a lot of respect.

- Yeah.
- I-I know.

Not a lot of redeeming
qualities there.

Okay, it looks like
you hit the...

Dane woke me up, like,
three times

between 2:00 in the morning
and 4:00 in the morning.

Oh, that never goes well.

What would you say

Captain Lee's biggest
pet peeve is, Kate?

Captain Lee's biggest pet
peeve is losing your radio.

- Right. There you...
- That would be true.

- Is that true?
- Yeah.

[laughs]
That's your lifeline.

Um, Kate, by the way, uh,

switching gears
to 'The Traitors,'

who have you been in touch with
since the reunion?

Uh, Brandi has sent me such
cute and generous baby gifts.

So has Cirie, so I talk
to both of them pretty often,

and also Kyle.

I-I love it.
Um, okay.

Well, who will we
feast our eyes on next?

There's Chef Ben!
[cheers and applause]

Hey, Chef Ben!
The OG 'Below Deck' chef.

Chef Ben, wait.

Do you live in the same building
as Kate Chastain?

Like, are you two
one floor apart right now?

- Yes.
- Yes.

[laughter]
- I love it.

Uh, Ben, do you have
a favorite memory...

Do you have a favorite memory
of Captain Lee, Ben?

Yeah, I have
many fond memories.

I-I think Captain Lee
and I just, um,

had a wonderful time just
chatting at each other

and getting to know each other.

You know, I-I really respected
that, and, you know,

we-we had our little...

You know, we enjoyed
each other's company

on a... on a nice level,
you know?

A personal level.
- Do you... Ben, do you have a...

- Right, Lee? Yeah.
- Do you have a dish

that stands out as
your favorite dish

that you ever made
for Captain Lee?

Yeah, so we were kind of
bromancing one evening

in the, uh, the galley,

and, uh, I think we were just
kind of evolving

this wonderful torchon
of foie gras,

and, uh, we were kind of
just playing with it,

and, uh, I think we ended up
putting orange zest on it.

Right, Lee?
- It was.

And Lee got a little excited.

He actually got
a little excited.

It was a...
It was a good time.

- By the way...
- It was, like, that really

interpersonal moment.
- Orange zest does that to me.

Yeah, orange zest.
By the way,

Ben, it looks like your dog
is the blanket.

It looks like you have
a dog blanket.

It's very funny.
- Yeah.

Uh, uh, Ben,
Captain Lee once...

- It's her family tree.
- Yes.

Captain Lee once said that your
meltdown in season two

was the biggest tantrum
he's ever experienced,

uh, from a chef.

Does that still stand?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Wow.
[laughter]

- I-I...
- Epic.

- I hope so.
- You hope so. Absolutely.

- A hall-of-famer.
- You hope so.

Well, I wanna thank
both Ben and Kate

for joining us.
[cheers and applause]

Uh, coming up, we have
more surprise guests,

and here are some special
messages just for Captain Lee.

Don't go anywhere.

[cheers and applause]

Congratulations,
Captain Lee,

on ten years of 'Below Deck.'

You're still
my favorite captain,

and the most
handsome man at sea.

It's been one hell
of a voyage,

and you, sir, are one hell
of a captain.

I say it for all of us

when we say you are
our Yacht Dad.

I know that my time
on the show

wouldn't have been the same
if you weren't my captain,

and I appreciate
all the help and support

you've given me
during the show

as well as after the show.

I want to thank you
for being the only boss

to never fire me,

'cause I'm really looking
forward to some fun adventures

in the future,
so cheers and congrats.

I'm so happy for you,
Captain Lee.

Captain Lee, congratulations.

Uh, I-I can't tell you.
What a legacy.

You deserve another medallion.
- We wanted to wish you

a happy tenth anniversary.
- Wait a minute.

It's our tenth anniversary
this year, too.

- Oh, it is. Wait!
- We're as old as 'Below Deck.'

Oh, my God. What an honor.
That's so incredible.

Captain Lee,
we love you so much.

You're not only
the Sea Daddy,

but you are our daddy.
- You're such an inspiration.

You've brought us
endless entertainment.

You're a leader.

You've taught all of us
how to be a leader.

I'll never forget
our night in Los Angeles

when I picked you up

and I said, 'I'm gonna give you
the royal treatment,'

and you asked me why,
and I said,

'Because tonight,
you are the primary.'

Love you, Captain Lee.

- Yes!
- True story.

- That's amazing.
- Yes.

That's amazing.

The congratulatory messages
continue to roll in

as we celebrate ten seasons
of 'Below Deck.'

Welcome back.

I'm Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse

with the man of the hour,
Captain Lee Rosbach.

[cheers and applause]

You can watch Captain Lee's
one-man show 'NIGHTCAP'

April 6 at the Hard Rock Hotel
in Hollywood, FL.

He's a man of many talents.
Over the bar,

we have another one of Captain
Lee's former charter guests.

Working for tips tonight,

say hi to Jackie 'Queen of
Versailles' Siegel.

Hey, Jackie.
[cheering and applause]

You know, Jackie, um,
you've been a charter guest

on both 'Below Deck'
and 'Below Deck Med.'

Which was the better
experience for you?

We had a blast,
and my husband

actually broke every rule
in the book, I think.

I was nervous he was
gonna get kicked off,

but in hindsight,
they became best friends.

You tried... You tried
to poach Chef Rachel

because you were...
You loved her food so much.

Has she taken you up
on your offer

to be your private chef?
- Who told you?

[laughter]
- I hear things.

Well, um, I-I don't believe
in stealing.

Like, I would never
steal his staff.

- Yes.
- But I did let her know...

we reached out through
an e-mail...

that if she ever retires, um,
from the, um, uh,

chartering, um, yacht chartering
as a chef,

I want her to come
and work at Versailles,

because her... you picked
the best staff ever,

and I've never been
blown away.

Drinking game reminder...
anytime you hear this word,

continue toasting Captain Lee
until you have to take a wee.

Now it's time for
a Clubhouse classic

with a seaworthy twist.

It's Holl-Lee-Wood Squares,
'Below Deck' edition.

Captain Lee, you and I are
gonna go head-to-head.

Here's how it works.

You'll pick a familiar
face on the board,

and then guess whether their
statement is true or false.

If you guess correctly,
you take the square.

Otherwise, it's mine.

Tic-tac-toe. Three in a row
wins the game.

Let's get started.
Hey, everybody!

[overlapping chatter]

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.

Okay, Captain Lee, take your,
uh, take your pick.

- Oh, uh...
- Pick a square.

I'm gonna go
with Adrienne g*ng.

Okay, Adrienne.

Deckhand Connie iconically
made a bikini

out of marshmallow fluff.
- True or false?

- False.
- Let's see.

False. Yes. It was peanut butter
and whipped cream.

Uh, Lee gets the square.

Okay, I'm gonna choose
Jerry O'Connell.

Rocky secretly hooked up
with Eddie on the bunny pad.

No, that is false.

Yes, the laundry room.

Lee, pick a square.

Uh, let's go with Wes.

After a male charter guest
got waxed onboard,

Kate attempted to laminate
their body hair as a gift.

Is that true?

No.

Is it false?
It's true, it is true!

Ooh, I got the square.
- There's a gray area there.

I... there's
a gray area?

I'm gonna take
Cynthia Bailey,

there's no gray area
with Cynthia.

[laughing]

Chef Rachel told Captain Lee
that the demanding guest

could kiss her ass.

That is false.
I believe it was a 'cooter.'

Yes! thank you!
I win the game!

Thank you so much!
[cheering and applause]

That's exciting.
All right,

Captain Lee, we got a lot
of questions from people

wanting to know... thinking
that you should write a book

with all of
your one-liners.

That could be
a good little, uh...

You know, I... I have
thought about that,

maybe a... a coffee table book.
- Yeah, right, exactly!

Or a cocktail table book.
Something you'd pick up,

you know, sit around
having drinks

before you go
out to dinner.

Yes.
[doorbell ringing]

Oh my god, doorbell!
- Doorbell.

Look who's here,
it's Carl from 'Summer House!'

[cheering and applause]

- Carl!
- There he is!

Oh, that's nice.

Good to see ya.
[cheering and applause]

- Andy.
- Good to see you.

- Thanks for havin' me.
- Have a seat.

Thanks for having me.
Hi, guys.

[cheering and applause]

Carl, you know,
people may not realize this,

you and Captain Lee
have a very special bond.

It's-it's quite moving.
Talk to me about it.

Well, I mean, listen,
we are part of a kind of

unique family of...
you know, losing people

we love to addiction,
um, and going through

a really difficult time
very publicly.

Captain Lee reached out to me,
um, which was just unbelievable

at that time, you know.
And I... I'd heard about

what he had been through,
and yeah, it's...

it's very difficult,
what we've had to experience,

but I think in
the Bravo family,

obviously everybody,
you know, cares for each other,

but him especially
to reach out to me

at such a tough moment,
was just unbelievable for me.

What's the best piece
of advice Lee has given you

over the years?
[chuckling]

I mean, he talks
a lot about boundaries,

and just setting a standard,
and, you know, just, I think,

being a man, and trying to be
respectful and responsible.

I've had a lot of
growing up to do,

you guys have watched it
all on TV, but, you know,

he inspires me to
be a better man,

and better human being, and...
I just love how he is

as a man.
- That's nice.

[cheering and applause]

It is...
it's kind of in the ether,

the idea of him
officiating your wedding.

Where are we at with that?
- So, I'm happy to report,

Lindsay's here somewhere,
but we are, um,

we are locked in
with a venue.

It's gonna be Mexico.
- Great!

And I...
we're still working out

some of the logistics,
but we are gonna have

a conversation
with Captain Lee.

Nice!
[cheering and applause]

All right, after the break,
we have more with these two,

but first, check out some other
well-wishes for Captain Lee.

We'll be right back.

[cheering and applause]

Congratulations on


I just gotta say,
congratulations on 10 years

as the OG stud of the sea,
with Bravo TV's 'Below Deck.'

Captain Lee, congrats!
On my gosh, 10 years?

What a frickin' legacy.

Congratulations on your


Thank you for being
our strong guide,

our leader,
our protector...

throughout the seas
that we journey upon.

Always remember,
never forget,

no matter where you go,
you will always be

everyone's favorite
stud of the sea,

especially mine. Cheers!

Lots of love.

You know, if you're ever
in Northern California,

you and your wife
are more than welcome

to come to my boat
and jump off,

anytime you like.

But seriously,
you have brought so much joy

to so many people, and through
some really crazy times.

So you cannot be commended
enough for that.

We loved being
on 'Below Deck,'

but we loved more
getting to know you

and the entire crew.

We're honored to
call you a friend,

and we're honored to get to...
be able to celebrate this

with you, and we wish you
many, many more years

of success
and incredible voyages.

Congratulations.

Congratulations on


and, uh, I thank you
for inviting me to the studio,

but unfortunately, this is
the only attire I have.

It's too damn cold
in New York.

Thank you for making me
one of the coolest moms

and the coolest
daughters ever.

My mother and my daughter,
Noelle, still talk

about that trip.
So thank you,

God bless you,
and I love you, my friend.

[cheering and applause]
- Ahh...

Amazing! Welcome back to
'Watch What Happens Live.'

I'm Andy, here with
Captain Lee, Carl,

and Jackie at the bar.
[cheering and applause]

Um, Captain Lee,
Captain Lee,

what have these 10 years
meant to you?

- The world.
- The world.

Aw, that's nice.
- They really have,

it's been, uh...

when I started this
whole crazy-ass ride,

it was just...
I'm just a Captain

that gets filmed
doing his job.

- Yeah, right.
- And...

for have it to have morphed
into what it is today,

with the spinoffs,
and-and everything else...

- Yeah.
- It's really been, uh...

humbling.
- Yeah.

[cheering and applause]
Many charter guests

over the years have
acted like an ass,

but quite a few guests
have also wanted a piece of ass,

specifically Captain Lee's!
So check out the stud of the sea

trying to keep
everyone at bay!

Wow.

You know something?

He's Zeus on the water.

Seriously.
Can I call you Captain Zeus?

Can somebody bail my ass
out here, please?

He's such a nice guy.

I've got more fingerprints
on my ass than the FBI.

How do you like me now?

Lookin' GQ! A gentleman
doesn't leave home

without taking his tux.

It's just good taste.

This is the first meal
I've had with our chef,

and my socks and underwear
are sittin' on the floor.

Damn!

I'm lovin' life.

That calls for an 'I do.'

I do.

- Captain Lee!
- Good evening.

Hi, Captain!

How the hell
did I get this lucky?

Is dessert gonna
be you, Captain?

- Oh!
- I think I'm schvitzing.

[laughter]

Amazing!
[cheering and applause]

I love it. What...
what a great trip

down memory lane
tonight has been.

I'm so glad we got
to celebrate 10 seasons

of your time on
'Below Deck' tonight.

- Thank you.
- And since the charter guests

always ask you to
join them for dinner,

I wonder if you might
join me for...

a special Monday
night Shotski?!

[cheering and applause]
Here comes the Gay Shark

with the Shotski.

All right, come on up,
Captain Lee.

[cheering and applause]
Claudia, come here.

Captain Lee,
we gotta do this.

Claudia, come around.

We're gonna do this together.

One, two, three.

[cheering and applause]

All right!
I wanna thank Captain Lee,

Mary Anne, Carl,
Jackie, Claudia, Kate,

Ben, and the Gay Shark
for joining us.

The word of the night
was 'Captain.'

We said it 34 times.

If you were playing
our drinking game, no driving.

We're off the rest of the week,
but we'll see you

back next Monday
after 'Summer House.'

[cheering and applause]
