I firmly believe Bri Muller is the one in the right behind all the hypocrisy on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9, not Chef Johnathan.

There have been accusations of Chef Johnathan Shillingford being a producer plant, but I think the real Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 producer plant is failed stew, Bri Muller. Chef Jono struggled early in the charter season but later redeemed himself on several well-executed charters. Recently, however, he nearly got fired for a potentially fatal mistake: serving a guest raw seafood that could kill her. While he later served an impressive anniversary dinner, he disappointed the guests by serving cookies and ice cream for dessert. Captain Sandy Yawn called Chef Jono to the bridge, but he escaped unscathed.

Despite Chef Jono’s numerous mistakes, his incompetency pales in comparison to Below Deck Mediterranean season 9’s Bri Muller. I can’t be the only one dumbfounded by her lack of ability to do laundry correctly or behave professionally for a single second. Chief Stew Aesha Scott is practically pulling her hair out trying to wrangle Bri, and her feud with Elena “Ellie” Dubaich has grown stale. All the attention might be on Chef Jono, but I’m convinced Bri is the actual producer plant.

Bri Gets More Special Treatment Compared To Chef Johnathan

Bri gets way more special treatment than Chef Jono. For example, every time she messes up, Captain Sandy or Chief Stew Aesha are stern for a moment but then they brush it off. They don’t force her to be accountable for her mistakes, instead asserting that she’s inexperienced and needs good examples from which to learn.

Additionally, her hatred of Ellie has caused the second stew’s performance to go down. It also makes Ellie look like the villain because she’s forced to stand up for herself, and Bri just cries. It’s nonsensical how much Bri is coddled, leading to my belief she could be a plant.

The Whole Crew Compains About Bri’s Laundry Mistakes

Bri’s laundry mistakes are out of control. Even though she kept a “burn book” to keep laundry straight, she still loses shirts or washes whites and colors together daily. Chief Stew Aesha and Captain Sandy consistently threaten to fire her if the mistakes continue, but she’s yet to make good on her promise. Joe Bradley, Bri’s love interest and the source of her and Ellie’s feud, even tried to protect Bri in a recent episode. He continued to wear a smelly shirt rather than get Bri in trouble for neglecting the laundry. However, it didn’t stop him from complaining to the cameras.

Captain Sandy is already running the yacht with a skeleton crew. Aesha doesn’t have time to sit down because she’s too busy babysitting Ellie and Bri. It’s ridiculous to let Bri continue to serve aboard the Mustique unless she’s a producer plant.

Captain Sandy Has Been Over Nice To Bri Since The Beginning

Captain Sandy has shown favoritism towards Bri since the beginning of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9. While Captain Sandy’s commitment to elevating women in yachting careers is commendable and important, Bri has let the entire crew down one too many times. I think it’s ridiculous that crew members are working in smelly polos and wearing off-white pants while Aesha works over 12 hours a day to accommodate Bri’s learning curve. She has to be a producer plant otherwise Captain Sandy would’ve said goodbye to her a long time ago.
