In the latest episode from Below Deck Mediterranean season 9, Stew Bri Muller slept on the floor of deckhands Joe Bradley and Nathan Gallagher’s room, which many believe is a fire hazard. Bri felt forced to sleep on the floor after she didn’t feel welcomed in her own cabin by her roommate and fellow stew, Ellie Dubaich. The two got into a heated argument after Ellie felt betrayed by Bri for kissing Joe, who Ellie also had a crush on. Bri just felt uncomfortable sharing the same room with Ellie, so she decided to bunk with her hook-up.
According to fans in the Reddit thread started by Desperate-Ad-3705, many users felt that Bri sleeping on Joe and Nathan’s floor wasn’t the safest thing to do.
Isn’t it a fire hazard, to have Bri sleeping on the cabin floor?

The user who started the thread began the conversation by contemplating whether or not Bri sleeping on the floor was a fire hazard. One person in the thread agreed and said, “That was my first thought. Totally unsafe and stupid.” However, fans not only think Bri was creating a fire hazard but that she was acting a little immature.
Bri Was Acting Immaturely
Not only was Bri sleeping on the floor a hazard, but the whole situation started with Bri’s immaturity. One fan said, “I could understand the first night when tensions were high but the next night was just making it a bigger deal than it needed to be.” Bri could have squashed her beef with Ellie by the next morning after her first night sleeping in Joe and Nathan’s cabin, but she didn’t. Another viewer said, “Itโs not a slumber party. Grow up and deal with your room mate.”
However, some fans don’t think Bri is all to blame for her sleeping on the cabin floor following her feud with Ellie. Some say that Ellie needs to grow up as well. One fan wrote, “Ellie started treating Bri worse once the Joe stuff happened […] Ellie started taking everything she did to an extreme, and just came off like a spoiled brat who didn’t get her way.” Bri’s immaturity isn’t the only one to blame for the potential fire hazard; so is Ellie. If Ellie wouldn’t have made Bri feel terrible in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.
Bri’s lack of maturity by sleeping on Joe’s cabin floor could potentially cause a fire hazard onboard, and fans recognize that. However, Ellie’s attitude towards Bri did make her feel unsafe, and she didn’t feel comfortable sharing a cabin with Ellie. While Ellie wasn’t the one directly causing the fire hazard, she did play a part in her Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 cast member creating the potential hazard.
