Season 9 of Below Deck Mediterranean has focused on the power struggle between the second and third stews. Elena “Ellie” Dubaich just can’t help flaunting her two stripes in single-striped Bri Muller’s face. At times, Ellie’s behavior has bordered on outright bullying.
Almost as tedious is the amount of time we’ve spent talking about laundry this season. Bri just can’t seem to get it together when it comes to the crew’s uniforms and personal clothing. To try and give herself a more workable system, she finally requested a set of colored beads to help her. It’s laundry! How hard can it be?
But it didn’t take newcomer Carrie O’Neill long to figure out who was sabotaging the boat’s laundromat. And Bri doesn’t deserve all the blame.
The mixed-up laundry wasn’t entirely Bri’s fault
On the Below Deck Mediterranean After Show, Carrie exposed some previously unknown information about the identity of the saboteurs. Turns out, the mixed-up laundry wasn’t entirely Bri’s fault.
“I did learn quite quickly that the two [deckhands, Joe Bradley and Nathan Gallagher] were a little bit naughty,” Carrie revealed. “They’d bring sh*t down halfway through the day, not in their laundry bag. I’d come back from lunch, and I’d be like, ‘Who the f*ck just brought this in?’ It was in the bins … and I was like, ‘I don’t know who the f*ck’s this is. It’s not in a laundry bag. I’m not a mind reader.'”
“It really should be up to them to make sure it’s labeled before they chuck it in a bin,” the native Scot continued. “If I [get] a medium guy’s shirt, I don’t know which one of those three [deckhands’] it is if it’s not got their initial in it, so … in Bri’s defense, I would say maybe they weren’t helping.”
That previously unknown tidbit was so shocking even the producer doing the interview was stunned. “Wow!” she exclaimed. Mind blown.
“Yup. Cheeky little sausages, all of them!” Carrie went on, feeling sorry for all Bri was subjected to from the boys. The third stew took a lot of heat from Captain Sandy for the mess in the laundry and almost lost her job at one point.
“I felt for her,” Carrie concluded. “I was like, ‘F*cking hell, no wonder she’s struggling to figure this out. This isn’t her fault!”
Mystery solved. I feel like Carrie just gave us a PSA. So now we know!
Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.
