"Take accountability"— Below Deck Mediterranean fans criticize Bri Muller for getting involved with Joe in Season 9

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 aired a brand new episode this week on Monday, August 19, 2024. During the segment, Ellie and Bri had a conversation about Joe and decided to bury the hatchet and not fight over a man. However, soon after, Bri got involved with him in a public washroom before realizing he was not "good" for her.

In a confessional, she elaborated on getting physically involved with him and said that being with Joe fed into her "impulsiveness" and didn't make her a good "human." Watching the episode back, fans of the show took to social media and commented on the situation.

While they were initially glad to see Ellie and Bri resolve their issues, they criticized the latter for still getting involved with Joe. One person wrote on X:

"See, Ellie you have full permission to get her, drag her aunt Bertha style #belowdeckmed, and Bri don’t try to blame it on the guy. Take accountability. You knew what you wanted. You got it. Don’t try to act cute."

"Wow, an hour after apologizing to Ellie and declaring that Joe is playing both of them., Bri is F’n Joe in a public bathroom.. #BelowDeckMed," a fan commented.

"Bri really sat with Ellie and gave her the phoniest speech about being totally aware that Joe is playing them both, then just like a loser she went and got tangled up with him, in a club bathroom of all places. So believe me when I say, they deserve each other. #BelowDeckMed," a tweet read.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 fans felt both Bri and Ellie could do "better than Joe":

"While I’m not a huge fan of Ellie OR Bri, they can both do better than Joe. #BelowDeckMed," a person wrote.

"Why are Bri and Ellie acting like this douchebag gets to choose????? He's disgusting. Girls have some self-respect! #BelowDeckMed," a fan commented.

"How do Bri & Ellie keep falling Joes sh*t?! He’s not even fine!!! #BelowDeckMed," a tweet read.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 fans further said:

"Bri is so simple. She's developmentally disabled and then she hooks up with Joe after apologizing to Ellie? She's so gross. What do they see in Joe, he's a f boy. #belowdeckmed," a person wrote.

"Bri must think her apology to Ellie meant she got her permission to sh*g Joe. #BelowDeckMed," a fan commented.

"I'm not having this": Below Deck Mediterranean star Bri confronts Joe in the latest episode

In Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 episode 12, Bri and Ellie discussed being interested in the same cast member. Bri told the latter she was sorry about "the whole Joe thing."

Ellie told her that the lead deckhand hurt her feelings by declining to go on a date with her. Bri stated the Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 star was "playing" with them.

"I think he likes chasing," Bri added.

She further criticized the male Bravo star and called him a "f*cking flea" and Ellie thanked her for saying it. Ellie apologized for hurting Bri's feelings as well. She explained that she had a "firm approach" because Bri's defense mechanism was "going into the sensitive mode."

The two hugged it out before Bri said she needed to use the bathroom. Joe also went to the bathroom at the same time where the two crossed paths. The female Below Deck Mediterranean cast member criticized him and called him a "motherf*cker." Joe asked her why her "face dropped" when she saw him.

Bri told him he "picked a side" and Joe clarified he hadn't. The two got intimate in the washroom but Joe asked her to stop soon after. Bri reminded Joe that he "started it," and asked him what he was doing.

"Because I'll make the decision if you don't know. I'm not having this. For real. If you can't be a man, I will be," Bri said.

Watching the segment back, fans of the Bravo show were unhappy with Bri and voiced their opinion online.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 will return next week with a brand new episode on Monday, August 26, 2024, on Bravo.
