On this week's episode of Below Deck Adventure, new deckhand Seth went to Captain Kerry to convince the latter to let him be the bosun instead of Lewis. Seth felt he could do a better job at managing the team.

Seth talks to the Captain about being the bosun on Below Deck Adventure

This week's episode of Below Deck Adventure began with the cast members playing fun games with their charter guests. Faye was initially upset about Kasie and the deckhands not joining her as they had decided to team up against the guests as per their request. It all worked out when they joined in a played a fun game of tug of war and baseball.

After they returned to the boat, they played on an obstacle course in two teams of guests and crew, following which the latter earned $800. Throughout all of this, new deckhand Seth Jacobson was nowhere to be seen.

He was resting up and preparing for his night shift. As the rest of the crew members handled dinner and cleaned up for the night, it was time for Seth to take charge.

By the time they were done, the new Below Deck Adventure dekhand was already up. Fellow deckhand Mike talked to him about the hectic day that the crew had and asked Seth if he could fold the towels based on how the rest of the team did it. That was when the latter replied that he could "probably roll them better." He even felt it was terrible management to have the most experienced person on the night shift.

In a confessional, Seth said:

"Is Lewis threatened by me? Is he putting me here on purpose because my experience towers over Lewis."

Throughout the night, the new deckhand was seen folding towels and managing the deck. The following morning, Seth found it difficult to follow orders from Captain Kerry, which frustrated the latter. The Below Deck Adventure captain realized that there were a few unknowns with Seth and decided to guide him.

By the end of the episode, Seth came to the captain to enquire about what he thought of Lewis as a bosun. The new deckhand then explained that he could run the boat better than the current bosun. Seth further said:

"I bring a lot to the table. I just feel like I could definitely run us to the finish line at a way higher level."

The Captain, however, mentioned that he was happy to maintain the current situation and would consider it if and when he thought it was appropriate to do so. In a confessional, Captain Kerry asked Seth to first complete the work he was hired to do before making any advances in designation.
