Under Deck Down Below’s Daisy Kelliher on Joao, RHOSLC & Season 4

After virtually two years away from Bravo, Daisy Kelliher is again. However this time, as a substitute of managing visitor complaints, incompetent stews, and steamy boatmances because the chief stewardess of Parsifal III on Under Deck Crusing Yacht, Daisy has jumped ship (actually) as the brand new chief stew on Under Deck Down Below. “I’m not fussy about boats. I simply go the place the cash takes me,” Daisy tells StyleCaster. 

Daisy joined Under Deck Crusing Yacht in Season 2 and remained the chief stew till the sequence was seemingly placed on pause after Season 5. Within the time between her final season of Under Deck Crusing Yacht and the supply to star on Under Deck Down Below, the thought that Daisy’s Bravo profession was over positively crossed her thoughts, although she had hope that she would have the chance to cross over to a different sequence like many different Under Deck alums have achieved. 

“Clearly, I used to be a staple on Crusing, and I didn’t know what the longer term was with Bravo. However there was part of me that hoped perhaps there was a possibility to affix one other franchise,” she says. “However I’m not included in these conversations. It’s about timing and luck. In any business, it’s the identical factor. It occurs within the yachting business as properly. Generally boats promote. You may lose your job. I positively did assume that that was the top of my profession on Under Deck. Fortunately, this chance arose, and it labored out.”

Daisy joins Under Deck Down Below Season 4, which premieres on Bravo on February 2, with Captain Jason Chambers, who has starred on the present since Season 1, Ben Robinson, who has served as a chef on each Under Deck and Under Deck Mediterranean, and João Franco, who has been a deckhand and bosun on Under Deck Mediterranean and Down Below. Different solid members embrace sous chef Alesia Harris, who returned from Season 3, stews Jenna Woudberg and Joe Caron, deckhands Eddy Hounsell and Betul Yazici, and deck/stew Mike Durrant. 

Forward, Daisy sat down with StyleCaster to interrupt down The Actual Housewives of Salt Lake Metropolis crossover, her boatmance with João, and the Bravolebrities she wouldn’t need on a constitution.

Did you discuss to Glen Shepherd, your captain from Under Deck Crusing Yacht, about your supply to affix Under Deck Down Below earlier than you agreed to do it? 

I really didn’t, and it wasn’t any shade with Glen. You’re targeted on your self selfishly. At that time, I used to be simply making an attempt to determine what my trajectory for the 12 months was going to be like. That is my main job, so there have been a number of transferring elements that it occurred fairly rapidly. So I didn’t get an opportunity to achieve out to Glen. I do know he and Jason had a dialog, and he messaged me once I joined Down Below, and stated how supportive he was of me becoming a member of the franchise and wishing me good luck. Glen’s tremendous candy, and I do know he desires the perfect for me.

The primary constitution of the season was The Actual Housewives of Salt Lake Metropolis crossover. Did you’ve gotten any concept that the RHOSLC solid could be visitors this season?

No, I discovered in actual time. I had an intuition that the primary constitution was going to be troublesome, and to be mentally ready. I’ve a relationship with the producers. They set us up for achievement and don’t need to see us fail. I’ve labored with them many occasions, so by means of conversations, they have been mentally getting ready me. It was rather a lot for me. I’m happening to a brand new franchise. I haven’t filmed in a 12 months. They have been simply type of warning me to get my head within the recreation. However I had no concept what that meant. I actually didn’t give it some thought an excessive amount of. I may go down a rabbit gap making an attempt to guess who the visitors have been going to be, however [the RHOSLC cast] by no means crossed my thoughts. 

Do you know it was going to be a crossover episode? 

Not likely. They type of stated it to me, however it didn’t imply rather a lot to me on the time.  I’m very targeted on what I’m doing. At that stage, I’m not occupied with, you recognize, as a result of it airs 9 to 10 months later. Clearly, I noticed that they had a movie manufacturing, and so they’re speaking to me, however I’m making an attempt to focus on what’s happening in me. It’s an enormous quantity of knowledge you’re making an attempt to course of directly, studying an entire new boat, studying all of the crew, studying the dynamics, making an attempt to coach crew—all inside this 48-hour interval. These two days. I used to be averaging 19/20-hour days and not using a break. So I’m not occupied with 10 months down the road, or the way it’s going to be produced. They stated it’s a crossover, and which means nothing proper now to me. It wasn’t actually till later, after we’d completed filming, that I may begin processing being like, “Oh, it’s gonna be like a crossover.”

After watching the RHOSLC perspective of the constitution, was there something that shocked you that you just didn’t learn about? 

It’s at all times a extremely enjoyable factor for us to have the ability to watch our personal present, as a result of there’s a lot we don’t see. I knew they have been arguing, however once more, my mind was concentrating on what I needed to do and the duties I had at hand. I wasn’t capable of course of what their arguments have been about. Clearly, they have been midseason, so getting to observe their season, every thing began to make sense and have context. There was a lot I didn’t see. I didn’t even know Angie was throwing up on the paddleboard. I didn’t know that type of iconic scene with Lisa up on the swim platform. I used to be actually solely having snippets with the women.

Within the RHOSLC episode, we see you give Britani the stuffed unicorn that Meredith and Bronwyn threw into the ocean. However we don’t see how you bought it. What occurred there?

You’re gonna see it within the season. It was João who went, acquired it, and saved the unicorn. That was one other occasion the place this meant nothing to us. I didn’t know why this unicorn was such an enormous deal. I used to be like, “It’s only a teddy.” However clearly, having been capable of watch their present, now we all know how iconic this unicorn is and what the context is behind it. You do get to see the savior of the unicorn on our present.

One other large matter this season is whether or not Heather and Jason really attached. What do you consider? 

No, I don’t assume they did. I very a lot took Heather’s assertion with a pinch of salt. I very a lot learn it as they have been joking round. It was humorous how folks ran with it. However I’ve been in that state of affairs the place I stated one thing lightheartedly, and folks have ran with it. You bought to watch out with what you say on TV. They’re each single. In the event that they attached, I’m all right here for it. However Jason’s saying they didn’t, I consider it. 

What are you able to tease concerning the RHOSLC solid’s tip?

I don’t need to give an excessive amount of away, however the girls made us work, which you’ll see, and we’re nonetheless associates with them, so take what you’ll. 

Are there some other Bravolebrities you need to host on a constitution?

I feel the Summer season Home folks. They’re at all times a vibe. They’re at all times up for partying. I feel they’d be actually enjoyable, and would positively make me work onerous. I might like to get the OG RHONY solid. I might invite any of the Bravo folks. They’re all very nice. They’re welcome to return on our boat anytime. 

Are there any Bravolebrities you wouldn’t need on a constitution?

Oh, gosh, that’s a tricky one. I like Beverly Hills, and since I’ve watched their present, I feel it could be cool to have them on, however I feel they is perhaps troublesome. So perhaps them.

Let’s discuss concerning the João of all of it. Do you know who he was earlier than filming began?

I’d seen his seasons, and I did know his title and his status. I used to be positively nervous. I used to be fairly anxious. I do know he had excessive battle along with his earlier chief stews, and I actually wished to have a very good relationship with my bosun on this 12 months. I used to be anxious we have been going to return into battle, which was positively not what I wished. We had a reasonably good working relationship. He was actually supportive of my division. I don’t assume we actually had any battle.

Within the season trailer, you stated that you just didn’t need any extra boatmances, which clearly didn’t occur with João. What drew you to him?

The actual fact we didn’t have any battle. He was good. I don’t actually love to do the boatmances. It’s a little bit awkward having the world to see that, however t the top of the day, it’s enjoyable. You do work actually onerous. It’s very busy and taxing. It’s very mentally taxing, and having somebody who’s good with you, it’s enjoyable to flirt, and have somebody who’s supportive and in your nook. That feels good on this actually intense setting. It feels good when you’ve gotten somebody who’s taking care of you and being candy to you.

The place’s your and João’s relationship now?

We’re pleasant however are clearly very busy with our personal initiatives. He’s working, and I’m concentrating on my podcast “Yacht Mess.” We have now a quick little boatmance. I don’t need to give an excessive amount of, away however we had enjoyable hanging out!
