**St. Tropez, France:** Tension is brewing on the yacht *The Wellington* as second stew Elena “Ellie” Dubaich faces potential removal from the *Below Deck Mediterranean* season 9 cast. While her ambition to become a Chief Stew is apparent, her lack of professionalism and jealousy are causing major problems for the interior team.

Ellie’s arrival on the *Below Deck Med* set during season 7 was brief, but she returned for season 9, quickly becoming Chief Stew Aesha Scott’s second in command. However, instead of focusing on her duties, Ellie has spent much of the season embroiled in drama with third stew Bri Muller over their mutual interest in lead deckhand Joe Bradley.

This feud has spilled over into the workplace, with Ellie using her position to undermine Bri and create a hostile work environment. Aesha, despite her efforts to guide Ellie, has expressed frustration with her behavior, especially after the arrival of a new stew, Carrie O’Neill.

Carrie’s impressive experience and efficiency have thrown Ellie off balance, sparking further jealousy and resentment. Ellie feels threatened by Carrie’s presence and actively sabotages her efforts, demonstrating a blatant disregard for Aesha’s authority and the overall team dynamic.

The drama between Ellie, Bri, and Joe has consumed the season, creating an atmosphere of tension and animosity. While Joe has played both women, ultimately failing to commit to either, the stews’ behavior has been unprofessional and disrespectful to both their colleagues and Captain Sandy Yawn.

While Ellie has yet to formally quit the show, a mid-season trailer hinted at her potential departure. A heated confrontation with Aesha and a stern warning from Captain Sandy suggest that Ellie may face consequences for her actions.

With the season still ongoing, it remains to be seen whether Ellie will be able to overcome her jealousy and prioritize the team’s success. If she continues down this path, it’s likely that her *Below Deck Mediterranean* journey may come to an abrupt end.
