Below Deck's Rhylee Gerber is over the so-called "boys' club" on deck. As the only female deckhand this season, she says she hasfelt left out and ostracized by her fellow deck team members. Captain Lee Rosbach agrees and has also called out the men in the crew for the way they've been acting all season on Twitter.

Rhylee spoke more about this "boys' club" in an interview with The Daily Dish podcast.

"I agree wholeheartedly that coming into this position, it is very reminiscent of last year,in the fact that it feels like a boys club," she said."I dont have any problem working with males or females. And I dont have a problem with authority. What I have a problem with is people that... to me its not about rank. OK, I understand there is rank. But just because youre above me doesnt mean you can speak down to me. It doesnt mean you can treat me disrespectfully... And so with this boys club feeling, I mean, last year I was left out of deck meetings, I was made to take my breaks separately [from]the boys so they all bonded. They, you know, they had their own thing going on.And I was mocked and laughed at behind my back. Thats not something that you dont pick up on. Im not creating these feelings out of nowhere. Its a boys club because thats how they have made it."

Rhylee's not done calling out these crew members, however;in fact, she wants to add another name to that list.

"With Captain Lee addressing that, I just hope he realizeshes a part of that boys club," she said.

Woah! The deckhand explained, "Hes very much a fan of people over others... that vibe is shared very plainly on board,with favoritism and all that. He makes the comment a lot that Im just a third deckhand. Well, Im also your third deckhand. And just because Im a third deckhand here, dont forget my credentials. I have credentials. And I had more credentials than any of these guys last year. You know, its just a difference of what vessel Im working on."

As for who she thinks Captain Lee favors, Rhylee claimed, "It goes without saying, you know,Kate [Chastain] is definitely a favorite of Captain Lee.I dont say that in a derogatory sense. I know they have a working relationship for several years. That just comes with working together so long. I understand why Lee feels that way about certain people. But just dont make others feel less than or inferior. Thats just something that to me is, is disrespectful. Its inconsiderate."

To be fair, Captain Lee has never said that he doesn't show favoritismto Kate."Kate deserves preferential treatment because she's earned it. It's simple,"Captain Lee said in theBelow Deck Season 7 After Show. "You don't get preferential treatment from me unless you earn it."
