Below Deck Down Under’s Ellie Dubaich, feels redeemed. Joe Bradley has a pattern of playing “mind games” with women, she feels, especially after watching Joe move in similar ways during his second season.
Ellie and Joe met on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9, where they got tangled up in a love triangle. But when Joe returned for BDM Season 10, he encountered yet another messy situation which Ellie watched from the comforts of her couch. As for her thoughts, here’s what Ellie just said.
Below Deck Med alum Joe Bradley has come under fire
US Weekly caught up with Ellie and asked her about Joe’s second run on Bravo. As Ellie revealed, she “did watch” Joe’s second season. However, admittedly, “It was a bit of a tough watch.”
Watching Joe lead two women on sucked. “I had been on the receiving end of that,” Ellie explained, so “I know how he is. He does lead women on, which we’ve seen him doing with Victoria [SanJuan].”
As Ellie stressed, “[Joe] is like, ‘I want nothing to do with you, but my mom would love you.'” He also said things like, “I’ve never felt this way before, and you’re special, but why would you think I wanted to have anything to do with you?” As Ellie summarized, Joe plays “a lot of mind games” with women.
Regardless, Ellie does not “wish bad on anybody. But I think [Joe’s second season] did redeem me a little bit, and it did show the fact that it wasn’t all me,” she said. “He was playing with my head, and he was playing with Bri [Muller’s] head as well. But he was doing that in private. We never really heard the conversations [that he had] with the other girl,” she said.
“So then to us, it seemed like, ‘Oh, this girl is trying to come for this guy because I like him.’” But now, Ellie realizes, “It was Joe all along, messing with us both.”
Below Deck Down Under airs on Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
