Is Daisy the Next Bachelorette? The One Thing That Could Stop Her

Is Daisy the next Bachelorette for 2024?

Is Daisy the next Bachelorette for 2024? As of writing this, ABC hasn’t confirmed whether who the lead is for The Bachelorette Season 21, however, Reality Steve confirmed in March 2024 that the role of the next Bachelorette is between Daisy and Maria Georgas, a 29-year-old Executive Assistant from Kleinburg, Ontario, who came in fourth place on The Bachelor Season 28 with Joey Graziadei.

“This is probably a situation where it’s between Maria and Daisy,” Steve said in an episode of his podcat at the time. “I think the show is very well aware that they are deciding between Maria and Daisy, I do not think they have made a decision yet.”

He continued, “ABC can do whatever they want because they’ve got us all over a barrel just dissecting everything. They’ve told people in the past they are the lead, and all of a sudden they weren’t. Because they changed their mind at the last minute… It’s a 50/50 shot, it’s not like, oh my gosh, someone’s gonna come out of left field,” Steve said. “No, it’s more than likely, based on everything I’ve heard, going to be between Daisy or Maria.”

A source also told DeuxMoi in March 2024 that Daisy was in talks to become the next Bachelorette for 2024 after she was seen at dinner with two producers from The Bachelor franchise. “Hi Deux! Back again- and at Baltaire again too lol. Spotted daisy from The Bachelor CLEARLY in chats with 2 producers at dinner. Wining and dining her SO hard. Definitely chatting about next Bachelorette status- just wait for the announcement,” the source claimed.

Fans also believed that Daisy would be the next Bachelorette for 2024 because she was the “safe” option out of all of Joey’s contestants. “If the producers want to go the traditional route; Daisy for bachelorette,” a Reddit user wrote in March 2024. Another user commented, “Daisy is a very blank canvas with a good story and has been the second most popular contestant this season in terms of social media growth.” One more user wrote, “She is a very safe pick that the producers can mold whatever storylines they want to with her.”

If Daisy was the next Bachelorette, she would follow Season 13 Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay, who also received the First Impression Rose on The Bachelor Season 21 with Nick Viall and became the Bachelorette. Daisy would also be the first Bachelorette with hearing loss. Daisy revealed on The Bachelor Season 28 that she received a cochlear implant in 2023 after losing her hearing from Lyme disease and Meniere’s disease, an inner ear condition that causes poor fluid balance in the ear and can destroy that cochlea, a hearing organ. “For me, walking into a big room and there’s a lot of voices and a lot of noises bouncing off the wall no matter where I am, it can be a little bit overwhelming because there’s so much sound coming in from different areas,” Daisy said in a TikTok video at the time of The Bachelor Season 28’s premiere.

Daisy was the second contestant on The Bachelor with hearing loss after Abigail Heringer on The Bachelor Season 25 with Matt James, who was born profoundly deaf and also had a cochlear implant at two years old.

SPOILER: What happened to Daisy on The Bachelor?

Warning: The Bachelor Season 28 spoilers ahead. What happened to Daisy on The Bachelor Season 28?

Daisy Kent, a 25-year-old Account Executive from Becker, Minnesota, was the runner-up of The Bachelor Season 28 with Joey Graziadei. Joey and Daisy broke up at the Final Rose Ceremony in The Bachelor Season 28 finale after Joey realized his feelings were stronger for his winner, Kelsey Anderson.

After his breakup with Daisy, Joey picked Kelsey A., a 25-year-old Junior Project Manager from Leesville, as his Bachelor winner at the Final Rose Ceremony and gave her his finalrose. He also proposed to Kelsey A., which she accepted and the two got engaged. Joey and Kelsey A. are still together after The Bachelor Season 28 finale, according to Reality Steve.

For Joey’s engagement, it’s almost certain the ring was designed by Neil Lane, a celebrity jeweler, who has created engagement rings for The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise since 2008. In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Weekly, former host Chris Harrison revealed that Bachelor Nation couples have to stay together for a certain amount of time, otherwise they have to return the free engagement ring to Neil Lane. “There’s some rule, after a certain number of years, you get to keep it anyway,” he said. “But after months… it goes back.”

Lane told StyleCaster in 2016 that he doesn’t know where the rings go, but that he designs them with the hope that the couple stays together. “I make rings hoping that people stay together forever, but after they get the ring, I don’t have a say in it, and what happens after that, I don’t know,” he said. “Where the ring goes, I have to say, I don’t really know. I just say it goes to ring heaven.”

Reality Steve confirmed that Joey picked Kelsey A. as his winner in February 2024. He originally reported that Daisy was Joey’s winner in January 2024, however, he later corrected himself when fans discovered that Joey and Kelsey A. were at what looked like the same house for what was believed to be a “Safe House Visit,” a term also known as a “Happy Couple Weekend” to describe a secret date set up by producers between the Bachelor and his winner before the finale airs. According to a Reddit thread by user @sandbetweenhertoes, TikToks that Joey and Kelsey A. posted showed them in houses with the exact same microwave, cabinets, and backyard, which fans believed was confirmation that they were on a “Happy Couple Weekend.”

In The Bachelor Season 28 finale, Daisy realizes that she wasn’t Joey’s winner during their last date and goes to Kelsey’s room to tell her essentially, “It’s not me, it’s you. I’m gonna tell him that tomorrow,” which was a first for Bachelor Nation, according to Reality Steve. “Once the final 3 rose ceremony happens and it’s down to two people, those two never interact with each other, whether it’s Bachelor or Bachelorette season. They don’t want them chatting each other up and what not. So Daisy must’ve made a plea to producers (or producers thought it’d be a ‘first’ for a storyline) to let a girl who thinks she’s not getting picked to go talk to the other girl,” Reality Steve wrote. “And that’s what they did.”

Reality Steve described Daisy and Kelsey A.’s conversation as “supportive” and “straightforward.” At the Final Rose Ceremony, Daisy arrives first and tells Joey what she told Kelsey A. and they had a positive breakup. The scene after his breakup with Daisy was shown in the first two minutes of The Bachelor Season 28 premiere, which showed Joey taking off his jacket and talking to producers before Kelsey A. arrives to decompress what Daisy told him.

The Bachelor Season 28 airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC. Here’s how to watch it for free.
