Leigh Ann Smith on 'Below Deck' Season 10

Smith will have to prove herself a lot on 'Below Deck' before she gets accepted by all the crew members. Even though Alissa was not liked by Captain Sandy but she surely was liked by Fraser. Therefore, in order to be worthy in Fraser's eyes, Smith will have to work hard to match her productivity of Alissa. Will Smith be caught up in the drama and fights? Well, dramas are inevitable in the show. Whatever happens, one thing is sure Captain Lee will be in full support of Smith.
