I was getting married soon, but it honestly ended up being my favorite season ever!\u201d<\/p>\nDeckhand Joe is also back after a rough season 10<\/a>, which ended on a sour note with his former best mate Nathan. (The two and Gael all met as crew members during season 9.)<\/p>\nJoe tells Us<\/em> he was determined to redeem himself after a disastrous season 10 love triangle with stewardesses Victoria SanJuan<\/strong> and Kizzi Kitchener<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\u201cI understand it\u2019s not a comfortable position \u2014 even as a viewer \u2014 so watching myself back, I have learned from the situation,\u201d Joe says. \u201cI\u2019m really focused on my job right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The relationship drama will instead<\/a> come courtesy of the newbies, including chef Joy Lefaucheur<\/strong>, stews Genevieve Lillie, Katrina Johnston<\/strong> and Kayley Smith<\/strong> and deckhands Cooper Dawson<\/strong> and Luke Brumer<\/strong>.<\/p>\nKeep scrolling to see what Captain Sandy, Aesha and Joe teased about what is to come in season 11 of Below Deck Med<\/em>:\n<\/p>\nNathan and Joe Crossing Paths After Their Falling Out<\/h2>\n\n![\"Why](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Why-Below-Deck-Meds-Joe-and-Nathan-Havent-Stayed-in-Touch-Since-Season-12.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

\n Joe Bradley, Nathan Gallagher<\/span> Fred Jagueneau\/Bravo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile Below Deck Med<\/em> viewers had a front row seat to the rift between Joe and Nathan, Sandy is still in the dark, telling Us<\/em>, \u201cI still don\u2019t know what happened. You see how many times I\u2019ve asked. \u2026 I know about the dynamics between Joe and Nathan, but I don\u2019t know why. I have not heard a reason why and I\u2019ve gotten no answer.\u201d<\/p>\nSandy found it \u201cweird\u201d to see Nathan and Joe\u2019s new normal. \u201cThey had a bromance and now they don\u2019t,\u201d she noted. \u201cIt\u2019s so odd.\u201d<\/p>\n
While speaking to Us, Aesha was just as stumped, adding, \u201cIt just felt like a long time coming and I wasn\u2019t surprised, so I just tried to ignore it and let them handle it, until I couldn\u2019t ignore it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aesha never expected them to reconcile.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cNot for one second, they fell out a while ago and I could tell it was for good,\u201d she added. \u201cThere is no repairing that. Nathan is stubborn as hell and Joe wants Nathan\u2019s job. so that mix will never end well.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for whether Joe redeemed himself in season 11? For Aesha, it was in some ways \u201cyes, very much,\u201d and in other ways, \u201cnot at all.\u201d Joe, for his part, offered his perspective on taking responsibility<\/a> in an effort to do better this time around.<\/p>\n\u201cI know how to work Nathan, I know how to deal with him. All you got to do is keep your mouth shut and don\u2019t laugh,\u201d Joe told Us. \u201cThat\u2019s how you deal with Nathan. I just knew how to play along.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cNathan does say things and he wants you to blow up. But if you just keep your mouth shut, head down, tail between your legs, that\u2019s what he likes. He\u2019s an aggressive man.\u201d<\/p>\n
After returning to Below Deck Med, Joe was determined to do things differently, but he admitted he partook in some \u201ckissing in the nightclub.\u201d He teased, \u201cDoes it happen with anyone else? We\u2019re gonna have to see the show, but I am really focused on what my job entails.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>Fred Jagueneau\/Bravo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile tensions were rocky on deck, it couldn\u2019t have been more different in the interior. Aesha previewed what to expect, telling Us, \u201cThe interior team this season was fire! For the first time ever, I finally got three stews! And all of them were very capable, so we had the hands to make the guest experience even more elevated. Their dynamic starts OK like always, but things never stay OK for very long in yachting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aesha also teased her biggest challenge<\/a> this time around.<\/p>\n\u201cWith three stews I was just on Cloud 9 all season, so it felt less challenging even though it is still relentlessly hard work. My biggest challenge was probably managing a certain stewardess, and trying to understand what the hell Gen Z is talking about half the time,\u201d she added. \u201cWe get one of the biggest tips in Below Deck history and have a love triangle that hits every department.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite adjusting to include Nathan in the charter season, there were still challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid it help or hurt? In my opinion, every time I saw Nathan, he seemed very excited to see his family, but when he would come back \u2026 he was excited, but he was very tired,\u201d she added. \u201cI think when the baby\u2019s up all night, it\u2019s hard.
