WARNING! POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT!
As Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans get ready to say goodbye to Tom Pearson, many feel they know who his replacement will be.

The big question in viewers' minds is who will be replacing the former deckhand.

After an anchor watch that left most of the crew scared, Captain Glenn was forced to fire Tom for his lack of accountability.

It also didn't help that he got sick in Captain Glenn's room on the very first night. While fans say goodbye to Tom, many already think they know who his replacement will be.
