ALICANTE, SPAIN: Joe Bradley, a deckhand from Alicante, Spain, will be making heads turn on Bravo's ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ Season 9. Born under the Pisces sign on March 18, Joe will navigate the complexities of a love triangle during his time on the show.

In a recent sneak peek of 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 9, Joe is portrayed as a charismatic individual. A mysterious woman's voice is heard praising Joe's vibes, leading into a scene where he shares a passionate kiss with Elena Dubaich in the back of a taxi. It appears that Joe may be depicted as someone with a reputation as a bit of a player on the show. 

After the brief public display of affection, Joe quipped that his actions shouldn't be dubbed as "hoe-ing," but rather as "Joe-ing." He chuckled at his clever remark before getting back to his tasks on deck.

In a later clip, Joe reappeared and casually brushed off someone off-camera, advising them to ignore any mention of a boyfriend. The scene then shifted to Joe and Elena, both sporting perfectly coordinated 80's outfits, showcasing an impressive level of synchronicity and unity.

During a night off for the crew, Joe and Elena can be seen dancing when Joe asks Elena if he is her Ken. Elena confirms that he is, but the scene quickly shifts to the next moment where their romance begins to fall apart.

Lena confided in Bri Muller, another stewardess, asserting Joe as her own. Cameras then captured a steamy hot tub scene between Bri and Joe. Joe later approached Elena, apologizing and acknowledging his misbehavior. However, Elena wasn't ready to forgive him just yet.

Joe recalled a memorable incident when he received an unusually small tip from a passenger who happened to own a nut packaging company. Instead of the typical monetary compensation, the guest handed Joe a packet of unsalted nuts as a token of appreciation.
