Joe Bradley teases love triangle and boatmances on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10
Joe wasted no time introducing himself to his new crew in the Oct. 27 episode, and no time admitting he was interested in not one, but two stews: Kizzi Kitchener and Victoria “V” SanJuan. It was eerily reminiscent of his Season 9 woes: a love triangle with stews Elena “Ellie” Dubaich and Bri Muller.
“Am I worried about going into another love triangle like last season? Yeah. Have you seen these girls on this boat? I’m totally f—ked. You do know that, don’t ya?” he asked producers.
Although Joe told The Daily Dish, “I’m not going to say too much” about another love triangle, he teased, “You’ve definitely got to watch the season.”
Aesha Scott reveals which Below Deck Med stew is “into” Joe Bradley
Although Joe found himself continuing to flirt with both Kizzi and Victoria in Episode 6, he insisted he wanted to be different this charter season.
“I know that the crew think that I’m a bit of a player or whatever. I do honestly believe that I’m a good guy,” he said in his confessional interview in the Nov. 3 episode. “But, I just always end up in mad situations. I’ve unintentionally hurt people in the past. I don’t know what I want to do just yet.”
He admitted he was held up on two things—the fact that Kizzi had a boyfriend, and that Victoria’s last boyfriend had passed away.
“With Kizzi and Victoria, I’m either doomed if I don’t or doomed if I do,” he added. “Because I’d either be a homewrecker or a heartbreaker.”
But Aesha believed that despite Kizzi’s “taken” relationship status, she was interested in Joe.
“I actually can tell that Kizzi is into you. But I think because she knows she’s got a boyfriend, she’s like, ‘Well I don’t have a right to be into him over V.’ But I can tell that she is,” Aesha explained to Joe on the crew night out.
Joe Bradley opens up about attraction to Victoria SanJuan
During the crew night out, after dancing with V, Joe decided to pull her aside for a more “serious” conversation.
“What’s happened in the past, about like your boyfriend, like, I am so sorry,” he told her on the Nov. 3 episode, and later explained, “I don’t want to like intrude [on] your personal space.”
V shared that Joe’s reservations about her were typical of many men. “I appreciate what Joe is saying. One of the really hard things since Bon died is that some guys are like, ‘I don’t know what to do,’” she explained in her confessional, and added, “They treat me like I’m f—king damaged. I don’t want that to be me.”
But V reassured Joe that she was “fine,” and told him, “I’m not broken.”
As the two cuddled together in the back seat on the way back to the yacht, Joe admitted deeper feelings for V than for Kizzi. “I’m actually scared of you. I like it with her, but it’s only for fun. But, you have a soul.”
He later added, “And I haven’t felt that since my ex.”
Although they came close to kissing, V stopped Joe, and told him a kiss was “not gonna be in the back of a van.”
Further complicating matters, Kizzi broke things off with her boyfriend at the end of the Nov. 4 episode. After some flirting in the Season 10 preview, don’t miss an update on where she stands with Nathan now.
