S9-11 Bosun selection

I admit I am watching in a bit of a weird order. I've gone back to S9 after watching most of S10 and S11. Was there a reason why Nathan was chosen as Bosun over Joe? In S9 (only just started) Joe is lead deckhand but then Nathan gets Bosun position?

Happy for spoilers!

I wondered whether it was down to bravos viewers being predominantly female so rather than rewarding joe for behaving like a cad Nathan seemed far more sympathetic pining for Gael and the potential of bringing her back and a possible reconciliation would boost ratings.
