Southern Charm: Whitney Shows His Lack of Upbringing

May 4, 2015 by tamaratattles 143 Comments

Southern Charm Cast

 

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.

      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 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)

    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.

        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.

        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?

        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.

    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.

    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 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 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.

        I saw it – don’t know squat about the toddler and don’t care much about her, but it would make perfect sense. The best imaginary boyfriends live in a different country. She’s not much of an actress tho or she’d have played up his move in with me.

    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?

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

        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?

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

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.

    Thank goodness Whitney changed his hair this season. The part in the middle made him look like Shemp!
