"Get over yourself"— Below Deck Mediterranean fans react to Ellie's comments about Joe not paying her any attention

Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 aired episode 15, titled, Fourth Stew's a Charm. The episode saw the season's infamous love triangle between Joe, Bri, and Ellie turn into a square when Joe expressed interest in Carrie.

The cast went out for drinks at Che, and while Joe was initially dancing with Ellie, he later started dancing with Carrie. This offended Ellie, who said that Joe was only paying attention to women who gave him the "most attention." She added that no man in his "right mind" would turn down an "incredible night" with her.

Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 fans commented on the situation online and were unhappy with Ellie's statements. They felt she was "delusional" if she thought Joe was still interested in her. One person wrote on X:

"Ellie is delusional if she thinks Joe has a thing for her. He flirts with all the stews. Get over yourself you're not that special honey."

"Ellie clearly suffers from low esteem with how she keeps throwing herself at Joe and how she is treating the new stew," a fan commented.

"Ellie: Joe is choosing women not based on how attracted he is to them but on how much attention they pay to him’ But it’s him paying attention to Carrie, sweetheart…," a tweet read.

Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 fans called her statements "catty."

"Annnnnnddd there it is. Ellie has convinced herself she is the most attractive woman on the planet. Yes, Joe craves attention but to assume that there’s no way a man would be more attracted to any other woman besides you? Yuck! Catty b*tch," a person wrote.

"I can’t believe what Ellie just said- how about Joe being attracted to personality as well? She is so stuck on herself. I’m embarrassed for her," a fan commented.

"Does Ellie not realize that Joe is really overall annoyed with her, which is the fact as to why he has in fact turned down a night with her? Also, Ellie must be SUPREMELY embarrassed by this edit," a tweet read.

Some Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 fans criticized Joe for his behavior towards the female cast members:

"Joe needs to be getting roasted way more than he is. Absolutely disgusting the way he speaks to Gael, and about Ellie and Bri. All women are disposable to him," a person wrote.

"Ellie and Bri are too beautiful for Joe and his shenanigans!!" a fan commented.

Ellie criticizes Joe in Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 15

In Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 15, the cast went out for drinks where Joe was initially dancing with Ellie but since he was sweating so much, had to go buy another shirt.

After returning to the scene with a new shirt, he approached the new cast member, Carrie, and started dancing with her. Joe's actions offended Ellie, who went on to call them "disrespectful." She told Bri that Joe just went to talk to Carrie. In a confessional, she elaborated on how she felt and criticized Joe.

"I've had it with Joe, because he's not even choosing women based on whom he's attracted to. He just chooses the person that gives him the most attention. Because no man in his right mind would turn down an incredible night with me," she said.
