The latest episode of Below Deck Mediterranean left fans shocked as it appeared to reveal the root of Joe Bradley and Nathan Gallagher’s unexpected falling out. The tension between the two friends came to a head when Nathan expressed his frustration with Joe’s behavior towards Kizzi Kitchener, particularly in front of their mutual friend Victoria SanJuan.
During a conversation before the season finale, Nathan advised Joe to consider Victoria’s feelings and to tone down his flirtatious interactions with Kizzi. In a confessional, Nathan opened up about his growing concerns with Joe’s behavior, stating that he felt Joe lacked consideration for others and it might be time to reassess their friendship.
The preview for the next episode hinted at a dramatic confrontation between Nathan and Joe, with Nathan warning Joe not to act arrogantly or face the consequences. The tension between the two friends escalated as Joe and Kizzi’s romantic involvement became more public, leading to a boiling point between Nathan and Joe.
Nathan and Joe had previously worked together on a previous season and had formed a strong bond, but their relationship seemed to have deteriorated since then. Joe mentioned in a recent interview that he had tried to reach out to Nathan and Gael Cameron after the birth of their baby, but they had not been in touch. Despite the distance in their friendship, Joe expressed admiration for Nathan’s new role as a father.
Reflecting on their working relationship, Joe emphasized the importance of respecting Nathan’s position as his boss on the show. He acknowledged the changes he had observed in Nathan and highlighted the need for organization to ensure a smooth working dynamic. Despite any differences, Joe remained committed to supporting Nathan and maintaining a professional attitude on set.
