No, the Below Deck Mediterranean love triangle drama isn't over yet. During Season 9, Episode 12 of the show, Joe Bradley shocked fans when he once again switched stew loyalties, turning down Elena "Ellie" Dubaich for a date before hooking up with Bri Muller in the bathroom during a crew's night out.
In case you missed it, the three yachties have been engaged in a love triangle all season long ... so maybe these new updates actually aren't all that surprising? In any case! Both Bri and Joe had some thoughts about their most recent hookup, which they were happy enough to share during the Below Deck Mediterranean After Show in the video above.
"I went to the bathroom and then Joe happened to be the one standing outside when I opened the door. And then I low-key didn't want the cameras to see us, so I was like 'Come, come, come,' thinking that the cameras weren't there, but they're f-cking everywhere all the time," Bri explained while giggling with chef Johnathan Shillingford.
In his own interview, Joe noted that his intentions heading Bri's way were pure; he only wanted to use the bathroom. Still, he "ended up getting slightly more."
What happened between Bri Muller and Joe Bradley in the bathroom?
Thankfully, Jono asked the question on everyone's mind. What actually happened between Joe and Bri behind closed doors?
"I don't know, we were talking sh-t. You know when you look deeply in someone's eyes? I feel like that moment just happened with us," said Bri.
Joe co-signed her story. "I'm just drawn in," he said. "And then that's it, the door shuts."
Even with the door closed, cameras could pick up on a little conversation that made it seem as though the two possibly did more than kiss.
While Bri declared in the video above it was only kissing, Jono said that she told him after production wrapped that they did more than smooch. However, Bri explained in the video above, that wasn't the case.
Joe confirmed that as well, noting that even though the two had shared some steamy makeouts, it never went further.
"I mean listen, what can I say? In the jacuzzi, it may have escalated a tiny bit. Hands do flow," said Joe. Nevertheless, he joked, "I'm a virgin. I'm God's angel."
"It was a rollercoaster of emotions with Bri... It was up and down," he continued. "[But] I respect this woman, I really do. We had a rough ride. It was rough because I know what I want."
"How rough was the ride?" asked Nathan Gallagher mischievously.
"Very rough," his friend replied. "But yeah, I'm a virgin."
Why Bri Muller Stopped Her Makeout with Joe Bradley
Because she and Ellie had finally come to an understanding, Bri decided it was in her best interest to kick Joe out of the stall.
"So then that happened ... right after Ellie and I had like an apology conversation," noted Bri in the After Show. "My guilt was boiling up a little bit because I was like 'What the f-ck am I doing?' and then at a point when Joe and I were kissing I was like, 'This needs to stop.'"
In the episode, cameras recorded her telling Joe that "If you can't be a man, I will be. Get out."
And no, Joe never got to use the bathroom after all.
