We are back with Craig getting fake fired from his fake job. I really don’t care about Craig. He’s from Delaware for fucksake. Who the hell lives in Delaware? Anyway, Craig is almost concerned that he just lost a six figure imaginary job. What will he do? I’m guessing party.
Landon and Shep go to a flea market. Landon wants to open a vintage shop. I would die to go to a Charleston flea market. Why haven’t I done that before? Oh yeah, mornings. Oh Landon wants to take everyone to Jekyll Island. DAMN you Landon. No cameras on Jekyll! Can’t you just take them to SSI or Sea?
Meanwhile, Kathryn and Danni sit outside by the pool at the downtown house. God I love these houses. Kathryn says that she is not happy with her life and ready to make a change. I think I could put up with (ignore) that Ravenel creature for her life. We get a montage of all of his assholery. Kathryn says she is sick of putting up with him. He thinks she won’t leave him but she will. He needs to be a partner or she needs to go her own way.
Whitney calls Craig and Craig says he didn’t get fired, they just mutually decided to part ways. Craig is drinking glass from a tumbler and about to watch some Lifetime movies. All that is missing is the pint of Ciao Bella Pistachio sorbet. Not that I have any experience in the area.
Oh! Whitney’s beard girlfriend is in town. Patti tells the butler to prepare some cocktails as the cocktail hour is nigh. She will have her usual and the girls will have rosé. Whitney and Larissa get together on a park bench on the battery. Whitney wants Larissa to move in with him. She hesitates. This may be taking the whole “double blind beard” thing too far. Patti is trying to get Larissa to move to Charleston. Which is silly fake storyline because Whitney lives in LA. I do recall telling you guys you did not want me to recap this show. It’s all such a farse. But, I do it for you! /heavy sigh. Well, Also the scenery. And Shep. And Cameran who I have loved since her Real World days.
The thing I hate most about this show is they preview the big story line ten times in an episode. Last week it was, so Thomas, are you taking Kathryn to the ball? Are you going to the ball with Kathryn? Really, so you are going to show up with Kathryn? And then of course he doesn’t. This week it is going to be… Do Craig’s parents know he got fired? Now Patti is telling her baby boy who parents want to know when their kids get fired. Which is the first of I predict many “blatant foreshadows” that ruin the actually absurdity of the fake moment.
Cameran, why the hell are you beeping your horn like a hoodlum picking up a prom date? Don’t young people today just text, “I’m outside?” Anyway. Cameran tries to talk sense into Craig and it gets nowhere.
So Shep, Whitney and Craig apparently hitchhike at the airport and find three seats on a prop plane or something and end up in Delaware. Where? Wait, that was a commercial prop plane? I wondered why there were strangers on the plane. They flew commercial? On a prop plane? Seriously? Whitney is not happy. So there is that. Shep is already pointing out the uncouth behaviors of the yankees. Because Shep is perfect in every way. As they go into the house, Craig mentions the things they can’t talk about. Especially his job. He hasn’t told them “he is not working” yet. Craig’s childhood bedroom is exactly how he left it. Lots of frat stuff.
Craig has a great family. Whitney is meeting them for the first time and is less than completely positive with his first comment to Craig’s mother. Shep is charming and since the girl from the ball dumped him for being a manwhore the night before, he is wasting no time in calling in some chick he knows in Delaware. Wait, he knows someone in Delaware? He invite her to dinner at Craig’s parents. Who does that?
Whitney keeps making horrible comments about Craig to his parents. It’s time for dinner. Craig’s mom asks how work is going. Craig says he doesn’t want to talk about work while he is at home. So she asks how he is doing getting ready for the bar. He says that is fine. He got his application in. Whitney asks when it is, which he knows. Craig says February. Whitney tells Craig’s father that Craig has no work ethic. Then he says that Craig parties all night and asks Craig’s mother who he has never met how they can give him a kick to get his life in order. Whitney would back been punched in the face and out of my parents house before dinner at the first crappy comment.
Whitney says he needs to go away somewhere, not to an institution but somewhere away from temptation. Why hasn’t the Dad asked him to leave by now? Why? Because this is all fake bullshit and they are in on it. What is next? Fake rehab? Clearly, Whitney missed the memo of what is and what is not polite and acceptable dinner conversation when studying to be a fake Charlestonian. And the chapter about how to behave as an invited dinner guest in someone’s home. And how to respect the parents of your friends even if the parents are the same age as you are. I’m beginning to wonder if he studied anything at all.
OOOOHHHHH Delaware is pretty!
The next morning the guys wake up at the beach house hung over and ready to play some golf. Except for Craig. It’s noon and none of them can really motivate. Especially, Craig. On the golf course Shep and Whitney gang up on Craig and force him to admit he needs to make some changes and be honest with his parents. Craig is embarrassed.
Later that night, the boys go to eat some crabs with the parents before leaving. Shep and Whitney leave early so Craig can talk to his parents. His parents tell him that drinking problems run in both of their families. Craig admits he lost his job. They have a sweet talk. Was that fake too?
Next week: The gang goes to Jekyll Island. Whitney attacks Kathryn again in defense of Thomas.
“…and the girls will have rosé.” HAR!!!! You kill me!
That was my favorite!
Yes, indeed, lol!
Does Whitney KNOW he’s coming off as an ass in this show or does he think that his “s**t don’t stink?” Bleh.
Since he put this show together and cast it and is an exec producer on it, I think Whitney thinks he’s making a great show. Either he’s fine with looking like an ass for the good of the show, or he’s so deluded that he thinks he’s coming off well. It’s hard to tell with him.
Whitney thought he did a fantastic documentary too 🙂
Whitney is above criticism and manners it seems. He just met these folks and he is criticizing their son to them? Friend of my son or not, he would have been on his ass on the front porch. Or even better send him to the swamp with his ilk (gators, possums and vermin)
The only one worth watching is Kathryn, and her beautiful baby!
Whitney’s behavior was abhorrent and I’m disappointed Shep didn’t straighten it out by changing the subject or something. Horrible. Not only was he a bad guest, he was a terrible friend. I think TT is right and it was all a setup. Also, did anyone else think Craig’s “boss” Akim was drunk? He was slurring all over himself.
Next week Kathryn supposedly spends the night on the beach with Craig. And why not? He’s the only one in that crowd she hasn’t slept with yet…it’s his turn with her. (And no, I don’t think anything happened.) Kathryn is the poster child for “Be careful what you wish for…”. She wanted T-Rav (yuck) and so she tried to trap him by getting pregnant. She is a beautiful girl, but he’s an overgrown frat boy. I give him some credit for taking time to think about their age difference. Just too bad neither of them took the time to think about it before they had a child together, precious as little Kensington is.
I thought she hooked up with Craig last year. She has a thing for him clearly.
No. She slept with Whitney, Shep, and Thomas. I think the fact she wouldn’t or didn’t sleep with Craig is the reason why, I think, that he embarrassed her at that dinner last season by bringing up the fact that she slept with 3 guys at the table where they were eating.
I think they have chemistry and that she’s interested in him, too. At least their ages and interests are similar.
Something happened to Craig this year. He’s way too skinny for all the drinking he’s been doing. I guess he’s not eating. He looks pretty emaciated and unattractive to me.
It’s the same thing that is happening to my darling Shep. Let us not speak about it. /sniffle

How and why did Kathryn sleep with Whitney? Did he scream out Thomas in the throes of climax? I thought it was shitty of Craig to say that on air at the dinner even if she slept with 20 men at the table.
When asked about Kathryn Thomas said on WWHL that in the South no one cares who you sleep with but you are not supposed to talk about it. Is that true?
Of course people care who you slept with in the South. But no, you never talk about it publicly. You save that for gossiping behind their back.
In the first season, Craig had a thing for Katherine. And he got pissed at Shep for sleeping with her (i.e.: “stealing” his girl). Calling her out at that dinner & flirting with her now is all pay-back. You know what they say about a woman scorned…
Slut shaming is a big deal in the South. Saying it to her face isn’t that shocking at all, many times even if you just go out to dinner or just kiss each other word will get around that much more intimate things transpired. Eligible women no matter age need to portray themselves as virginal as possible.
BUT…
Luckily, Craig did watch enough Neked & Afraid to know what to do!
Lmmfao!
“I give him some credit for taking time to think about their age difference”…
How much time did he take to think about it? Maybe about as long as it takes to drop his zipper!
AKim was drunk to the point of slurring. I noticed that, too.
Also, what was up with that house? It looked like a vacant rental with a white piano.
Why is it that when a woman gets pregnant by a man with money, everyone says “she trapped him”. Yet the 50-ish rich guy who knocks her up gets no criticism & is viewed as a hapless”victim”?
Meep I live in Delaware. No sales tax
I’m 30 seconds from Delaware – I never pay sales tax either!
Me too:-)
I also am from Delaware and please don’t shade on us, we actually are a nice little state
I know. It was “fun shade” directed at one person. Who knew so many people lived in Delaware? 🙂
Y’all elected Joe Biden so I have no beef with Delaware. He makes me giggle
Love that Shep. He is the kind of guy you are friends with, always kind, up for anything-just don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re the exception! Still enjoy watching Patricia and her cocktails. It’s the only time I really wish I had staff. Scripted or not, I will be watching next week, as I know it is a slim chance I will make it (ever) to the islands off of Georgia. From where I sit, the destination is safe for those of you who know it.
I wish Shep & Danni would get back together. They are cute together! I love her.
She’s obnoxious and ill mannered like her son.
Was it just me or did anyone else notice Cameran’s office. There was no room between her desk and a couch on one side and the wall on the other so she either scoots underneath or climbs over the couch.
TT I have been to a Charleston flea market (spent my summers there growing up and still go back to visit family every couple of years) and there is no other experience like it.
So jealous. I just never want to sleep in Charleston so morning activities are missed. I really need to go back. Soon.

It’s not a proper office. Cameran is using a room in her mother’s office suite until she makes enough money to get her own office, probably with the other realtors.
This is kind of OT, but my daughter is around Craig’s age and I was a bit surprised guys nowadays want to wait until their mid to late 30’s to marry. Women too, as Cameran waited until she was 30 and Landon said her Dad told her to wait until she was 30. I was engaged at 25 and married at 26. Times have certainly changed a lot !
(I sound like a granny! LOL)
I large number of people are choosing not to get married at all, and those who do marry much later. I think because the life expectancy is increasing, people feel like they can wait a bit later.

I had my first child at 31 perfectly healthy. My second at 33. Hush your mouth. I can have babies till 40 if I choose. We were just responsible about family planning instead of making banies when we were too young to afford them expecting tax payers to foot the bill. Your comment is ignorant. Sorry TT for being harsh on a fellow commentor.
I agree with TT. I have plenty of girlfriends and guy friends that are great people in no rush to settle. I waited till just about 30 and my husband was 40. Its not that unusual now. There are many factors into this for a lot of people.
Damn….
No. Women don’t have to.be married to have babies and *gasp* we can also vote these days too.
I’m 29. Got engaged at 28 and will turn 30 before my wedding. If I conceive on my wedding night (fingers crossed – didn’t wait til marriage but I don’t want to be preg at my wedding), I will have my first baby at 31.
Someone needs to validate me now. Thx.
Jelley its a great age to have kids. Congrats on the wedding.
One of my best friends had her baby at 38. She is a fantastic mother and has more energy than I do! Jelley start taking prenatal vitamins now and good luck!
I’m 72, my mother was 40 when she had me, which was practically unheard of “back in the day”.
Married at 32, hubby was 38. Had my first kids at 36, 2nd at 38. Wouldn’t change a thing. Personally, I think these days no one should get married under 30.
Nice name.
I love Jekyll Island and Tybee, Plus Savannah has always been a fav destination of mine. I havent been in many years but Id take Ga Islands over Fla anyday. Thanks TT for the recaps. I like this show
I LOVE Tybee too!!! My inlays have a house in Sea Pines (HHI), and my husband and I leave the kids with them and escape to Tybee!!
I just caught up on this show (Bravo ran them all yesterday). I had a great laugh when Whitney mentioned “no fat chicks” at his beach party.
I guess there was no problem with “pretentious, old, beat, ugly white guys who still hang on their mother’s teet” being in attendance.
argh… Spell check! INLAWS!!!!
Hey Dj did Shep call you a d**kweed on Twitter last week ?
Hi Kate62,
How are you?!!!
LOL! Thats funny, but…Nope, not me. I don’t do twitter or even Facebook.
Only been to Savanah once but I loved it and can’t wait to go back!!
Who lives in Delaware? The DuPont family. Mega-wealthy and fans of the low profile – as people with real money and taste typically are.
pishtosh. 🙂
Craig is very, very poor.
hush you. I have set a trap and you are springing it too early.

My aunt & uncle also live in Delaware. On an estate that belongs to the DuPont family. Lots of old money around Delaware and of course, my aunt didn’t like her Southern upbringing and found herself an old money, Duke educated Yankee. She works part time at Columbia University and has a small loft in Chelsea she spends the night in once a week…. Delaware is rich with American history and I love going to visit.
I forgot Delaware existed until last night.
whitney is an ass, he was trying to throw craig under the bus and he wasn’t subtle about it either. i can’t see what his “girlfriend” finds attractive about him. i thought i liked him last year, now… nope. shep is sweet, he is peter pan for crying out loud, he will never grow up. i know they care about craig, and craig is a mess right now but it is hard to keep up with this crowd that has a little money. katherine needs to kick t-rav to the curb. i think she trapped him, but who cares, he went in eyes open and she does have a pedigree. whitney is bottom of the barrel compared to her and he knows it, yes she is young, but she has time to learn and grow, whitney is gettin a little old as is thomas.
careran is sharing an office space with her mother in her mother’s home i think. i think i love her and shep the best. i would love to chill with them.
I cannot STAND Craig. Whitney and T-Rav have their creep factors but they are entertaining. Craig’s just creepy. Ugh.
But Craig is “really good at partying.” He’s really proud of that.
LOL!
He needs to stick with it, then and stop wasting everyone’s time with this lawyer crap.
I sensed ZERO chemistry between Whitney and his toddler. Funny but wasn’t he the most vocal about Thomas and Kathryn? The “girlfriend” looked like she was so uncomfortable when he was near. Can’t blame her.

Your husband should be an attorney at the competing office and have a chat with the lesser firm than his.
She might out-Patricia Patricia. I love it.
I have never liked Whitney. I think Whitney is gay and has a crush on T-Rav. IMO, none of the main guys on this show are truly men…yet. They all behave like long in the tooth Frat Boys for all of their money and pedigrees.
And, regards Craig and losing his job. In “real” life, he would have lost that position prior to that airing of the 1st episode of Season 1 with his total lack of work ethic. I don’t think Craig wants to be a Lawyer at all; he hasn’t figured out who he wants to be when he grows up.
I don’t feel sorry for Kathryn. While she is very young, she knew exactly what she was doing when she got pregnant by T-Rav. The sad thing is: things haven’t worked out the way she thought. And, for all her pedigree, she is now relegated to being T-Rav ‘ s “baby mama”.
The only people I like on this show are Cameran and that one Lawyer who has a family and owns a Restaurant?
misst1217 – that is JD. Yeah, I like him too. I do really like Shep, though. I like that he is so unapologetic about his Peter Pan syndrome. He also seems sensitive and caring. I’d wait around for him to grow up.
The difference is, my imaginary husband is a real person who knows he is my imaginary husband. And he is tall and kind and tall and smart and tall and funny and tall and rich and very good looking. And tall. Did I say tall? Because he is very tall. But mostly filthy rich. Like if Patricia knew he existed… lol… she would not stand a chance. Because he is…tall.
you are leaps and bounds ahead of me! Mine are all imaginary, but they all have different skill sets. A girl needs various men in her life. 🙂 Good OLD Patti reads this you know, so she’s probably dying to figure out who your Yank is and how she can steal him away!
That will never happen. He only likes authentic drunken crazy southern women.

The creep factor is too real with Whitney. Every time I see him I think troll or goblin. I think he would fit in well in The Lord of the Ring world. I can hear him saying to Larissa, I’m a Hollywood producer. I can put you on American TV. All you have to do is pretend to be my girlfriend.
Where’s Whitney’s charm? Could you be more uncouth when trying to apply your mother’s advice regarding Craig’s situation? Are we sure Whitney is Patti’s child? Did she find him under a cabbage leaf in her garden? I guess Patti was not a hands on mother or else some of her charisma would of rubbed off on him.
Someone should tell Whitney that the Don Johnson-Miami Vice beard shadow went out at the end of the 80’s. He (Whitney not Don Johhnson) looks like he should be swanning around LA in a leisure suit, swilling tequila sunrises and yelling out “Baby!” every so often. Ugh.
Ha! Loved the Lord of the Ring’s comment – he does look like Frodo’s distant in-bred second cousin. On a good day.

OH THANK YOU EVERSOMUCH!! I really didn’t realize that or anything.
On the previews for next week, when Whitney and Catherine fight, Whitney say something like, “you should be staying home with your “husband”. Catherine says something like, “leave my family out of this dude.” Anyway, I was wondering if they secretly are married, this just doesn’t seem like a mistake Whitney would make because he loves to put Catherine down so much.
Maybe it was a dig?
OK – I may be coming late to the party…but do you think that Whitney hates Katherine because she wasn’t part of the original casting by Whitney? She was only one of many pretty girls at the parties, until she and Thomas got together and then had a baby….so it’s not like Whitney had a choice. I love that. I can’t stand Whitney. His documentary was a piece of garbage and I loved the article you pointed your readers to with it’s scathing review. Not only do I not like Whitney, I find him creepy. Like, I sleep in my mothers bed with her creepy.
Oooooo I am no TT, but I am good with spoiled brat behavior (i was a nanny for the rich and unparented for years and years) and you may have nailed it. She backdoored herself in and he couldn’t do much
Couldn’t have been total back door she did get pregnant.
Oops. Tackless joke. I love Katherine btw
I just died laughing 🙂
She may not have been a cast member, but Kathryn was on a ton last season. She was definitely on more than that chick with the spiky black hair….can’t remember her name.
I think his issue was l, after sampling all the “goods”, Kathryn chose T Rav. He’s got a hurt ego.
I think he’s in love with Thomas and that’s why he hates Kathryn.
I am eternally grateful for your recaps of this show, TT. Thank you! I do so love this show. The scenery and trips are eye candy for me. I recently just visited Savannah for the first time and fell in love with it. My bf’s elderly parents have a condo in Savannah and it’s just a charming,historical location. I went on a haunted history trolley tour one night and loved it. During the trip we went to eat at a restaurant in low country on Tybee Island and it was wonderful. It was a bit chilly still when we were there but we do have plans to go back and include a stopover in Charleston while down there.
Whitney is acting like a first-class douchebag again which I find interesting due to the fact that he is an Exec Producer. I guess he’s okay with coming off like that? Or perhaps he is poking fun at himself? I dunno. I can’t figure it out.
Being that I live in Damn Yankee Territory, I have been to Delaware countless times and actually it is quite beautiful. Especially during the summer. The beaches are gorgeous and there is the Cape May/Lewes Ferry that is fun to take if if you have the time. Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach are nice day trips or even a weekend getaway. And Delaware has no sales tax. And let us not forget Dover Air Force Base which is enormous and seems to take up the whole state.
Time to get to the tomato patch now that it seems the time fear of near freezing nightly temps are over.
Eye candy…love that! Somehow I’m back in time. I love Southern Charm, beautiful! Thank you Tamara, you’re the best!
Have Thomas and Whitney ever thought about hanging out with people closer to their ages? They look silly trying to run with all of those young ones.
Thomas may have stood a shot during the election if he had put a ring on it BEFORE running. I think that the drug/prison issue and the really, really young baby mama were just a little to close together on the timeline for the voters to look the other way just yet. Look at Mark Sanford. Sanford is now a US Congressman after resigning in disgrace from being the SC governor because of his dalliance with his Argentinian side piece.
Kathryn acts like she still wants to be a party girl and enjoy her youth. She should never have set her sights on T-Rav and gotten pregnant. He is too old for her, and she is too immature for him. He’s a businessman and politico from a distinguished Southern family, and she comes off as too flighty and uncouth to fit into Charleston society. A smart woman with the right amount of sass, like Cameran, would have been an ideal wife for T-Rav.
Apparently Kathryn comes from a very distinguished family in Charleston society.
I won’t hash about who is the immature one between Thomas & K but, REALLY? Her excuse is she is 21-22 (a kid) he is how old?? I will say, she even knew his political ad’s were a joke. Age does not always bring wisdom. 😉
I’m so bummed. Since you have pointed out that this entire show is fake and full of storylines, I am having a hard time watching it. I’m now closely watching each scene for fakery.
The dinner scene seemed clearly set-up. Even Whitney can not be that uncouth. If that was real and Whitney is actually that much of a shit, then he is a way bigger loser than we originally thought.
Fake!
Fake!
Fake!

Sorry! I tried to tell you, you would not like my recaps! 🙂 But the show is worth watching for the location alone. And for Kathryn, Shep and Cameran. 🙂

I don’t think Larissa is a beard as much as I think she’s Whitney’s Sugarbaby. He pays her to be with him and she does it for the $$$. Her body language spoke that he grossed her out but she had to tolerate it and pretend to enjoy it.
Larissa makes plenty of money in Germany on her own. People on the streets say that she has a close companion…

TT,
Kathryn is a Calhoun, which is a distinguished Southern political family. However, judging by the way she acts and what we saw of her parent’s home last year, it doesn’t seem like they have money or social standing in Charleston. I enjoy the Patricia’s eccentricities. However, it rubs me the wrong way that a woman who got her money and pedigree through successful marriages acts like a grande dame who can sneer at people like Kathryn. Are she and Whitney accepted by Charleston’s old guard?
Are you new? Of course they are not. And Kathryn is 22 year old. Her family has been well respected for generations.

I think Whitney is happy to play the part of the douchebag. They are always the ones most talked about because of people’s disdain for them. As Patricia’s man child he is used to being the center of attention. This character of the ‘bad guy’ he has created lets him be the center of attention on the show as well. His desire to be in front of the camera had to have a storyline and just being a mamas boy want enough.
Shep admits he wants to be the center of attention at all times in every episode. At least he owns it. 🙂

Whitney is the modern day Norman Bates, if Norman Bates were a trust fund baby. His kiss with his “double blind beard” was the most awkward kiss I’ve ever seen. She seemed completely grossed out. It was so transparent that the story line was trying to explain away why Whitney’s purported serious girlfriend can’t be geographically near him even though they are “serious” and even though Whitney wants her to move in with him — but where? beach house? mama’s house? LA house? Gross.
Spot on! Also, I was getting the Eddie Haskell vibe from Whitney, e.g. “That’s a lovely dress, Mrs. Cleaver”. Obsequious to Craig’s parents under the guise of being “supportive”.
I just loved Eddie Haskell, Portlandia!
Haven’t thought of him for a while. and, yup….you have to be a certain age to get it.
Apparently Whitney lives all over the world as he likes to remind us with references to vacations in Ibeza and St. Tropez. He sure thinks he’s special when, in truth, he had the good fortune to be born to a golddigger.
I’m assuming Craig did not take the February bar. Lots of lawyers are alcoholics because it’s a miserable way to make a living. However, starting out that early is a good recipe for getting disbarred (assuming you were ever barred in the first place).
I’m originally from Delaware! Now in Florida, but I do miss my home state
This was the best title for this recap. Whitney continuously talks about manners and the little people lack of them that you would think he schooled Emily Post, he’s old enough. This was epic failure in manners, Surprised Shep didn’t kick him under the table, wish he had and aimed a little higher.
Wouldn’t matter how high he aimed. Shep can’t kick what Whitney aint got.
That Miss Whitney is certainly a piece of work.
Whitney’s hair is just so distracting. And in the scene in front of the cannonballs (is the toner low already?) he had something in the back of his hair that looked like a bug or a leaf or a tree booger. His hair always looks filthy and oddly straight. I guess he uses a lot of product or whatever. But he’s borderline Trumping. You might think he didn’t own a mirror. His skin looks greasy too. Maybe he just doesn’t bathe.
I hope I don’t get served with a mousse and de-louse letter.
Hmmmmmm…his hair doesn’t seem oddly straight to me at all. Whitney is not my fave by any means but what does oddly straight hair mean?
Whenever he attends a formal or semi-formal affair, it looks like old PA spat in her hand and smoothed it down!
Whitney says, “Fustrating.”
Several people have sent me this. Craig says he decided to study and sit in July.
Great Recap!
Whitney executive produces this show with the same cluelessness he executive produced TRav’s ridiculous video. Many things about this show are fake but after that debacle I know for certain that a deaf dumb and blind infant has more self-awareness than Whitney.
TT…I was trying to see if Craig passed the bar (clearly too much time on my hands). His twitter says he didn’t take the bar in February, but will in July. Also….Kathryn Dennis’s twitter feed is very interesting…some chick on there said that Pat Altschul “allegedly” searches twitter hashtags for #southerncharm to see if anyone is making comments about her — then blocks them. Apparently, #blockedbypataltschul is now a group on twitter. Check out Kathryn’s twitter feed! Too funny!
Side note: a commercial for WWHL came on and Candace Burgman (sp) & Helen Hunt have fone so much to their face they are unrecognizable.
Whitney giving life and career advice is quite ironic. He is the biggest loser. He is also a snake. He did not tell his parents things to “help” he did it malicious. Dick
Ps Craig was a cute baby. Why did they dog his pics.
*done not fone
What is with that Landon? First of all, I’m not a big fan of girls with boys’ names. Like Landon or Hunter. That’s just me. Second, this girl has some serious affectation issues. As in, she annunciates and sounds like a Valley Girl from the south. Third, she’s just generally annoying and pointless. However, she is a slight step up from that fake poseur Jenna last year, with the fake house, fake Charlston life, horrid hair and bad 80s style glam sunglasses. Both are tres tres annoying and Landon needs to go the way of Jenna. Get gone, girl.
I like Landon. She’s a Georgia girl who lived in California and some of that accent rubbed off on her. You may hear more of a southern accent next week when she is with her family.

I just watched the most recent episode we have up here in Canada (when she, Cameren and Kathryn are at the jewellery store) and was just thinking she’s not as bad as she seemed at Cooper’s fashion show. Still an improvement over that Jenna. Characters grow on you once you get to know them a bit. For example, I was initially freaked out by Shep’s huge teeth at first, but now hardly notice them now that I see what a smart and loveable guy he is!
I met someone tonight who knew Landon before Southern Charm and he said she auditioned with 200 girls for that show. I told him I hated her and he asked if she was getting the villain edit (he hasn’t watched it). I told him I hated her because she’s so gorgeous.
I didn’t plan on BOTH our cell phones dieing AND the golf cart battery dieing but luckily, I DID watch enough Neked & Afraid to know what to do!?!?!
Bwahahahaha! ☺
He’s got money, he’s in magazines!!!
He’s got more hunies than any honey-bee…
lol
Show is a hoot!
Mmmmmmm hummmm
Thank goodness Whitney changed his hair this season. The part in the middle made him look like Shemp!
Oh is that what it is? He looks so much better.
