Ellie Dubaich, Joe Bradley.
Bravo(2)Below deck Mediterranean‘S Ellie Dubaich is still involved in a love triangle Joe Bradley when she has more high-profile suitors in her DMs.
During the monday, august 5 episode of the hit bravo show, ellie heard joe poke fun at their love triangle with Bri Müller. Joe sang a song about how he “already had” Bri and then he would have Ellie.
“I heard Joe was playing the piano,” Bri told Ellie after catching wind of the drama. “I’m very sorry.”
Ellie made it clear she wasn’t blaming Bri, saying, “No, he was pissing on both of us.” I didn’t want to say anything to you. I didn’t want to upset you.”
After Bri asked who Joe “thinks” could act this way, Ellie let slip an interesting detail about her personal life.
“Exactly. I was like, ‘Bitch, I’m getting NFL players in my DMs!'” Ellie fired back about having options outside of Joe.
Ellie’s insight into her dating history comes from being in a love triangle with Bri over Joe. Season 9 started with Joe and Ellie showing interest in each other. The lead sailor also found himself flirting – and later making out – with Bri.
“There was some miscommunication at first because Bri was attracted to him – but she never really said that to me,” Ellie shared exclusively. We weekly in June. “I felt like I made it a little clearer to her in some of the conversations we had.”
As the drama played out on screen, Ellie blamed Joe for most of the problems.
“Yes, 100 percent [he is at fault]she claimed. “After a while I realized that maybe it was Joe playing both sides. Because even just watching episode 2 where he was kind of going back and forth, I didn’t really realize the extent to which he was leading her.
The cast of Below Deck and its spinoff series will do pretty much anything for the love… or at least to have a fun crew hookup.

The second stew added, “Because all the stories that came back to me were more like, ‘Oh, Bri is interested in Joe. He’s not really interested in her. He wants you.’ It was more like, “Oh, she threw herself at him.” But then I realized that it might also have been him who had initiated the initiative.’
However, Joe wasn’t about to take all the blame Us a month later: “I could have played it a little differently. But obviously I didn’t mean to be disrespectful in any way. And I don’t think I was disrespectful.”
According to Joe, he communicated as best he could.
‘I’m just exploring. Goods [in the] very early,” he noted. ‘I need to know who you are. I’m just having a conversation. It’s flirting. And where I come from [in] Liverpool, the flirt game is here. Maybe [Ellie] is not used to an intense environment, but I don’t agree with that.”
Joe apologized during Monday’s episode for making fun of the love triangle through song. He told Ellie his behavior made him “a dick” before she accepted his apology.

“I can forgive Joe because he seems remorseful. He’s a little immature and maybe his ego got a little carried away,” she said in a confessional. “But I don’t think it came from a malicious source, so I’m glad I can forget this whole situation.”
The episode ended with the midseason trailer – that one Us debuted exclusively earlier on Monday – promising even more excitement with the arrival of new stew Carrie O’Neill. Based on the first look at the rest of the season, Joe will make a move on Carrie, which doesn’t sit well with Bri.
“I’ve already had two [stews]. I don’t have one anymore,” Joe told his fellow sailor and friend Nathan Gallager. Meanwhile, Bri expressed her frustration with Joe, adding: “I was the starter, Ellie was the main course and now she’s the dessert.”
