Did I mention reunions are the WORST things in the world to recap. I am not going to try to do a blow by blow because I am hungry and mentally exhausted. I’m going to try to paint this picture in broad strokes. I have always thought that carpet that Andy is so protective of looks like a close up of a giant vagina. (Just me?). Moving on .
Wait! Is that a new Murano glass lamp behind Andrew? I want it! but he can keep the fugly shade. What’s up with the giant shade? Oh wait…maybe I get it now. Also, I love Andy’s attempt to dress “southern! “The seersucker jacket and the tie are hits. The oxford shoes, not so much.
Andy starts by pointing out that the town of Charleston thinks they make the Holy City look like a joke. He says they do have a lot of celebrity fans. Whitney explains that Patricia is not there because the forum is to undignified for her. Spoken like a true Yankee.
We start with Cameran. They play on montage of her drunken silliness on election night. She smacked Whitney right in the face. Why do I not have a gif of that glorious moment? Cameran says that her husband loves the show but wants no part of it. Everyone who watches seems to think Cameran and Shep belong together. I love me some Shep but he looks like shit tonight. Sadly, I hear that he and Craig may both have some similar bad habits.
Andy loves Shep. Shep turned 35 this year. Andy asks Shep and Whitney what it is about southern boys and their mamas. Whitney answers that it is probably a southern thing. Um, no. First of all you are not southerner. so shut your pie hole. And secondly it is a gay thing, and you are gay so perhaps we should use a different name for the hole on your face. Come out of the closet, Whitney. Shep has brought a “Craig’s List” a list of all of Craig’s transgressions. Shep calls Craig a high maintenance acquaintance. Andy talks about the rivalry between Shep and Craig. Craig says he has better game than Shep. He says there are two kinds of guys, snipers and crushers. Craig is a sniper and choses the one he wants. Craig is a crusher and will go home with whoever is willing.
Thomas brings up that a lot of people thing Craig and Whitney are gay. Craig says he has a large African-American gay following on social media. Andy does not bring up Whitney. I suppose out of respect for the closet. People want to know why Whitney drives a Mercedes station wagon. The answer is, because it is his mothers. He started spewing car facts. Andy asks when his girlfriend is going to move in with him. He says she is actually going to move in with him in LA. And by LA he means West Hollywood where he lives. I doubt they are taking the double blind beard that far. But if he is, I hope he has plenty of closet space for her.
Katherine points out the beard is younger than she is. Andy says, “Wow you really gave it to Thomas for being with someone so young!” Whitney says, “It’s not about age. I don’t care who he sticks it in. (Waits for Old Testament God to SMITE his lying ass with a bolt of lightning) If you are going to run for office, age difference might have a bearing in public view (shit like this comes out of his mouth all the time when he attempts to use big words. and by big words I mean words most 8th graders can use appropriately in a sentence.) But otherwise, I could give a shit about the age difference.” Andy is like but… he wasn’t running for office in season one! Damn Andrew, why don’t you ask questions like this on the HW reunions? Whitney tries to say Thomas was thinking about running in the first season. Kathryn says she thinks that is a lie. Craig says he thinks it is more personal than political. Kathryn agrees. Kathryn says she thinks Whitney wants to control Thomas because they are both the only two bachelors in Charleston pushing 50. I think they need each other. You can just see Whitney boiling over during that comment trying to think of his next attack on Kathryn.
Andy plays the stupid political ad. Thomas acts like he had no idea of the concept of the ad. He says, ” I didn’t know anything about it. There was these girls there.” Kathryn says what a typical and repeats his stupid comment mockingly. I wonder how many times she has heard that one. Craig is to totally backing up Kathryn at ever turn. Andy asked Ravenel why he didn’t want Kathryn and his baby in the ads instead of the hootchie girls. Thomas blathers some polical BS. Kathryn cuts to the chase. He didn’t want to commit to his family on a public basis. Thomas says “Um because of why….” insinuating it was because of Kathryn’s transgressions. Thomas says he wanted Kinsey to have one parent with her at all times. Kathryn said “No! You said you didn’t want me in the campaign because it would hurt you.” Thomas denies saying that. Kathryn quotes him ” You can have kids out of wedlock but they don’t want to see you on their front porches.” Whitney is rolling his eyes and looking at the ceiling physically showing his jealousy that Thomas and Kathryn are even talking to each other.
Thomas admits he knew he could not win the election. Andy brings up the assault charges. Thomas says that the girl was there filming him and he closed the door behind him. Her hand was in the door. So he did slam the door on her hand. He says he didn’t even kick her out. Kathryn’s eyes are like saucers and Andy is cringing in disbelief at this story. This is so NOT southern charm. Kathryn says that she did not know Lauren was going to file charges and she was pissed at her for dragging her family business into the public view. Landon. She’s the broke one from Georgia who lives on the boat. Still don’t remember. Well she’s on the show. She asks why Kathryn still hangs out with Lauren. Kathryn say she doesn’t. She recently colored her hair. She is a hairdresser. Um, Landon? You don’t break up with your hairdresser. Like ever. They can fuck your husband and you still go to get your hair done.
They show Kathryn backstage during the break talking to someone saying she can’t stand how Thomas is lying about everything. Deny, deny, deny, that is his strategy. Oh sweet girl, Thomas did not invent that strategy, it comes straight from the factory in the Y chromosome. Also, you are too young to pull off bright red lipstick. Leave that to the brunettes who are a bit older.
Insert a little Landon stuff. A little Craig stuff. I am going to eat some chicken salad on saltines during this.
Shep is sort of a little shit on this reunion. He can’t stop trashing Craig. And I’m not overly fond of Craig. The ugliness of Whitney seems to be oozing over and coating Shep. It’s awful. Andy brings up that Craig is studying for the bar. Craig said on Twitter or somewhere that he is taking it in July.
Andy wants to talk about the night on the beach with Kathryn. They are both lying about sleeping in a hole on the beach. So ridiculous. Don’t both of these people live on the beach? Did they not think about tides blowing up their “hole” story? Nothing these people are saying is true.
Time for Whitney versus Kathryn. Whitney is asked if he has ever been the victim of a gold digger. Whitney spews ridiculous lies about his “Svetlanas.” I can’t imagine how he really believes that anyone would believe that he is straight. Richard Simmons is straighter than Whitney. He pretends to be straight. He pretends to be wealthy. He pretends to be southern. He pretends he lives with his mother. That most be such a miserable existence. Channel your inner Caitlyn Jenner, Whitney and just come clean.
Whitney says what he finds most detestable about Kathryn is that she got pregnant to secure her place on a reality TV show. Shep points out that in the first season they both decided to have a baby together. Craig says he had a conversation with Thomas about where babies come from. Cameran said Thomas told her he wanted a baby. It was a planned thing. Thomas says, “I’ll take a mea culpa on that. I guess…” So where all the idiots saying Kathryn tricked poor ole Thomas into having a baby? You still hear? You listening?
Some discussion about child support came up. Thomas is not providing at all for the baby with regard to child support. Kathryn says he doesn’t want to pay it. Thomas said he offered her the maximum allowed in South Carolina. Oh Thomas. You are such a jackhole. The state doesn’t forbid people from paying the appropriate child support for their child. Andy gets Thomas to admit that he is offer to pay $2,500 a month. Um, noe. She cannot keep a similar lifestyle for the baby on that. You put her on Charlotte Street and then give her $2,500 on top of the row house and the utilities and that would be modest, but sufficient. Somebody let me negotiate this deal. With a nanny.
An argument ensues over all the money Thomas spent on Kathryn ($67K to hear him tell it) in the past year. Kathryn says, me going with you on trips pretending to be your girlfriend is not spending money on me. She says apparently she was never his girlfriend and he was flying in all sorts of women to hotels. The word hotel seems to trigger something in Thomas about “all the times they have been kicked out of hotels because of her screaming.” She jumps up and says he is lying and Andy is all like sit your ass back down. Kathryn says, “No this is going to get Legal.” Kathryn starts spouting off that he was fucking a lesbian wrestler at the hotel and that got them thrown out. Or something. Thomas replies, you mean the girl that you were sleeping with? This pleases Whitney immensely. Kathryn starts ranting about some girl on the Daily Mail that Thomas was fucking when they were together. Andy asks Thomas if he fucked a lesbian. Before Kathryn can answer she says, “You did fuck a lesbian.” Shep puts his face in his hands and starts calling out for God. Thomas and Kathryn have an argument about who will look worse in court.
If I were in charge of determining custody of Kensey, I’d give her to Fredrik and Derrick. She would live the high life in NYC. And it’s not like her Daddies would be yankees. They’re European! They’d probably take Kathryn as a package deal and give her an apartment in their building. She could see the baby all the time. Problem solved. You’re welcome. Thomas admits he has been having her followed. Kathryn says he planted a GPS on her car and the PIs follow her everywhere. Her phone has been tapped and computer cached. At the end of that huge fight Andy says he has a sneaking suspicion they will spend the night together tonight. Craig says he would bet money on it. I myself think it is pretty obvious they will. Is this when baby #2 was made?
Andy comes back from the break asking for final words from Thomas. He says, “despite all of their fights, (he is speaking to Kathryn) you are the mother of my child (I didn’t want you to think Andy had Thomas’ baby ) and I care about you and I apologize. I didn’t handle things as a true gentleman should have.” I paused the screen to type that and it is frozen on Whitney’s face and he looks like he is swallowing shit. Production has done a great job capturing Whitney’s misery whenever Thomas pays Kathryn any attention at all positive or negative. Kathryn is crying a bit and says “Thank you I appreciate that and I think I made a lot of irrational decisions based on a lot of emotion given what was going on at the time. And you know I wish we would have had a chance, like with a normal atmosphere, to see what could have happened and we didn’t. And we just have to accept that and I am sorry that, you know, I feel like I focused on the bad times… (sidenote: Andy is eating this up with a SPOON y’all. He lives for this shit.) and not the good times.”
Andy asks if she still loves him, ” She says yeah, absolutely.” Thomas still loves her too. Andy asks if Kathryn if she wants him back. She says she can’t answer that. Thomas says he just wants to be friends. He is skeptical if it could work. Lauren (is that the right name?) Landon. Landon is emotional and is very supportive of the two of them. I have no idea what she did to deserve the wrath of the redhead but it clearly didn’t happen on the reunion. Kathryn doesn’t think Thomas has not been honest with himself about how strong his feelings are.
They end the show with mint juleps in mason jars for everyone. Andy LOVES the mint julep.
Thanks TT Andy should have had part two with this team, I could not stop laughing.
Best recap ever!! Was Whitney wearing a full (very bad) wig? He is such a disgusting person and Thomas looked small…literally…small. Why don’t I like Cameron and Landon? I totally agree that “Sheppie” looked bad…too many mint julips before the show? This was such an amazing recap and you had EVERYTHING right. Thank you!!
I kind of like Landon, Cameran is responsible for a lot of the problems between Craig and Shep. Poor Craig took all that shit from Shep because Cameron had Shep thinking he needed to be more vocal about setting Craig on the right path. It’s like every time the camera turned around someone was in Craig’s face this season. But I gotta admit him thinking he could go into work at a law firm at 3PM is complete bullshit. It’s pretty clear he doesn’t like the profession. I almost hope for his own sake that kid fails the bar. If he passes he’ll most likely be miserable at whatever job he takes as a lawyer.
I think Whitney finally washed his hair. We’re just used to seeing if flat and oily.
Hilarious description of Whitney. This snickering homo makes Liberace look like the Marlboro Man. His mother is a gin soaked phony who has too much money on her hands. It is funny to see her bug Whitney about grandchildren, although that is not possible with his orientation. Ravenel is as deep as a puddle, a cartoon politician who cannot form a complete thought. Maybe too much coke. The citizens of Charleston should be embarrassed of this example for their city, which is not unusual for Bravo reality TV.
Does Kathryn’s family have money? I know they have the blue blood name, but it seems like the cast (and Kathryn herself) insinuates that she is upper middle class at best…
Nope. She is dirt poor and lives in the paw paw patch.
Jesus. What is wrong with you people?

Kathryn is as close to American Royalty as one can get. It is not about the money in Charleston.
Kathryn needs to act like royalty. The image she portrays on the show is closer to a hillbilly. She has a foul mouth and no control over her emotions. That’s why I love to watch her.
Kathryn really should remember where she comes from & behave accordingly, especially since she signed on to be on a reality show. Sweet Jesus, why give Yankee Pat more to smirk & gossip with her gay boy about? Kathryn’s family is so beyond anything Pat & Whit could dream of, so why is she giving them anything to mock?
I’m gonna start drinking every time you post about what someone SHOULD do.

Kathryn is a Calhoun Dennis. She does not care about what anyone outside her social circle thinks. Yankee Pat is just that. She is a carpet bagger with a faux eastern seaboard accent.
Kathryn is not acting like a hillbilly. She is a dumbass 23 year old.any wildness can be explained by an ancestor as in “well her great great grandmother married a —–, you know that family always had a wild streak.” I think of all the dumbass stuff I did at 23 and thank God I lived through it.
When Andy is the butchest man on the panel, you know you’re dealin’ with some heavily bearded menz.
bwahaha even with his cheerleader Oxfords on
OMG So very much yes to this! Craig and Shep are reading boy to me. Whitney is reading weasel, and Thomas is reading sleaze-hole.
Shep seemed hungover or drunk, and Thomas looked like a worn-out old man. I actually felt a bit sorry for Thomas. I thought Craig looked better than he had all season. Maybe less partying agrees with him, though I really don’t see how he will make a good litigator. He opens his mouth & it feels like my ears may bleed!
Whitney makes Richard Simmons look straight! ! Best part of whole review. I was disappointed that the reunion was a tad boring. I don’t feel we got much resolution on anyone other than Kathryn and Thomas. Was the lighting odd or bad makeup? The men all looked horrible.
Overall this was such an incomplete season and an equally incomplete reunion. I would love for this Tom come back for season 3 but with a different production company. Even if that means no Whitney and no miss pat.
So for fun, my girlfriend and I would joke about our goddess Anna Nicole Smith. we want to be gold diggers (in theory). I introduced her to miss patty dey and showed her a truly successful gold digger. We now have an alter to a Yankee in this house 🙂 I had almost immediate success. Went on a date Saturday night with a man who played in 3 super bowls. unfortunately they were 8, 9 and 11. To put it in perspective, the upcoming super bowl is 50th. It would be like landing a Thomas lol. I need to figure out how to swallow some things (pun intended for the dirty birds) to thrive at this gold digging thing.
I admit to stalking the page for this review. I am lame.
.
What does this even mean? I read it 2x.
No shit.
I got it. she’s either joking or maybe not that she and her pal worship at the altar of Whitney’s Mama as a primo gold digger but she doesn’t know if she and her pal can deal with wrinkly old penii.
😀
I gotta agree with TT! Craig & Shep have a certain thing in common (sniff sniff) Shep looks pale and thinner not as cute as he was at first!
The jittery leg had me enthralled. Shep was an off kilter metronome.
That leg pumping twitch had me worried that Shep wasn’t going to be able to control it and might launch off the chair any minute, like when you prime a pump to get well water. He caught himself, or sweet Landon pinched him, because he stopped it before it got any more obnoxious and distracting.
It did look like Shep has been enjoying party favors a bit lately. It was not a good look for him! Craig looked better than he did during the season, but he still comes across like a used car salesman to me.
whitneys looks were the best of all, he hates and i mean hates kathryn with a passion. there is a very fine line between love and hate and kathryn and thomas do love each other, thats why all the hat. poor shep did look like shit, sadly. craig made me giggle about his fan club and cameron just kind of sat there. very glad though that is is out there that thomas and kathryn decided to have a baby and she didn’t trap him.
I first read this thinking whitney’s looks as in handsomeness and thought you were drunk lol. Alas, he rolled his eyes so hard they almost fell out Of his head
not drunk, multitasking… i see how it reads that way. so sorry..
We all have our own taste in men lol. It’s just my randomness thinking someone thought Whitney was hit
Oh yea the lesbian accusation Kathyrn accusing Thomas and Thomas saying oh the girl you were with! I’d love to get the real ice tea on that
Fake. The entire thing.

Absolutely brilliant & hilarious recap, Tamara! As always! I thought the reunion was sorta funny, but gawdamn, this is hilarious. I was laid off recently & I’m a little bit unemployed right now, but as soon as I have a few pennies, I’m putting them in your tip jar. Thanks for the laughs!
Why are they only having 1 hour re-union, instead of 3 hours? And why is it in NYC at Andy’s studio instead of in Charleston?
I, too, wished it had a little bit longer. This is and to only cover Craig’s & Kathryn & Thomas shenanigans.
They were all lying their asses off about everything. Kathryn and Thomas were together at that time. Shep and Craig are not fighting. Whitney is gay. Patricia was not invited. Etc. I don’t need any more of that.

I’m a gullible fool when I watch this mindless crap. I fall for the production then come here and “get it”. Someone above posted that they wished reality TV was really real. That’s me. I assume nobody would seriously humiliate themselves like this. As a huge intovert, I cannot understand craving fame that much.
Damn it! I keep falling for the shit these shows are throwing at me.
Sali, I don’t think you’re alone in thinking that people wouldn’t humiliate themselves if it wasn’t real. Sadly, I think lots are out there foaming at the bit to sign on to any show that will have them just for the possible fame & $$ they might see.
Tamara – your recaps and reviews are THE BEST!
I was expecting some show down between Andy & Thomas. For months Thomas has implied that Andy & WWHL producers manipulated him into announcing his candidacy live on the air before he was ready to do so; something that Andy denies.
I’ve always thought Thomas was sexy, but not anymore. Tonight he was wearing that garish red blazer, and it made him look like an old man who is a greeter at Wal-Mart that is missing his Shriner’s hat.
Craig’s red knit tie was hideous too. I do have to say Craig’s skin is looking much better than when he was on the show. Maybe it was the HD make-up, or maybe he stopped all his alleged recreational drugs. #Allegedly.
And wow Thomas & Kathryn prove that having money does not mean you have class. Their dirty laundry, arguments & low blows could have been lifted off any Jerry Springer show.
Thomas is straight up trash to tell the mother of his child that he will “destroy her” in her court. I don’t care anything about Kathyrn’s motives because he is the father of a baby daughter and he SHOULD support Kensie at least 3 times over whatever the maximum is in his state. What a fucking piece of shit he is. I want to kick him in his testicles.
And what’s this shit about Miss Yankee Patty being too much of an elitist cunt to visit the WWHL set? For weeks I have seen this stuck up bitch tweet vile misogynistic comments about Kathryn, a single mother. If I still see them on my twitter timeline tomorrow, I’m gonna tweet her and tell her she’s a fucking lunatic. We all know it’s Whitney who is hijacking his mother’s account. Why are they attacking Kathryn, but kissing Thomas’ ass? Oh yeah something about birds of a feather?
Great comment! You described Thomas perfectly.
I never realized how short Thomas is until this reunion. He looks a little aged. He looked much better during season one.
Thomas is stupid. To say on national TV that you are “going to destroy” the mother of your child, after admitting this was a planned pregnancy, before going to court is plain stupid. Start writing the checks now Thomas because you just lost your case. I’m with TT on her point about Kathryn. She is the brightest person (along with Cameron) on this show.
How much you want to bet that Miss Patricia was at her home in NYC during the taping of the reunion?
I think Thomas knows all too well the audience sides with Kathryn, so he was cringing in self protection.
I think Kathryn is the “star” of this show. Also, she is a beautiful woman, and could do much better than Thomas. Their baby is so adorable, she looks like a “Gerber” baby. Thomas old ass is lucky he could even get a woman like Kathryn. Whitney…is he in love with Thomas? Is that why he hates Kathryn so much?
I thought about how she looks like a Gerber baby too. I would have her modeling all ready.
I don’t doubt Patricia is tweeting those herself. She hates Kathryn with the fire of 1,000 suns.
Loved and agree with everything you said.
Greeter at Walmart!! That is hilarious! The recap and comments are so much better than the reunion!!
The only part I have a problem with is the 2500$/month custody offer. That seems like a reasonable amount since it is to support his daughter, not his baby’s mama who can work. If they share custody, 2500$ seems quite reasonable. Nobody is starving, so why keep the petty arguing over money?? Just my opinion, but I’ve never understood greed very much. If you have enough to live comfortably, why fight for more?
I think Thomas promised Kathryn lot$…like a car, home, nanny, in addition to child support. Who knows what sort of pillow-talk promises there were if she had a baby for him…cause he sure wanted one! All he talked about season 1 was impregnatIng someone “right now”!! So I think Thomas squelched on his promises, his love and his resposibility for them and little mama got mad. She kept her end of the deal…precious baby. And Thomas needs to be the man he worked so hard to get people to vote for!
I am sure Thomas is supporting the baby. He spends a lot of time with her. He posts on Instagram. This baby was no accident, no matter how much Kathryn was edited to be a slut. I’m sure they fight a lot but you see the baby on both of their Instagrams looking happy as a clam.
I am
And after they eat some possum stew they can
take a dip in the cement pond. lol
There was nothing charming about this Southern Charm reunion. Period.
Right off the bat, I noted that Shep looks likes he’s been in a cave on a bender. Pasty skin, bleary unfocused eyes and the same godawful haircut. And blah, blah, blah about Craig. Just say it, Shep, you like to pick on him.
Craig – the lies, my God! Kathryn and Craig slept in TWO HOLES on the beach, and yes, they walked around lost until 6 a.m…uh, huh! That’s daybreak, at which time you could have found your way out of the Amazon jungle. I’m glad you spent the last couple of months at your parent’s house studying for the bar. Good luck.
Thomas – another man with nasty, pasty skin, with a ghastly blazer and tie. Any day now he’ll be sporting a Full Cleveland (white belt and white shoes) to go with it. The legal shenanigans about custody are disgusting, do the right thing, asshole.
Landon – yawn…
Cameron – seemed to be in the shadows.
Whitney – same Shit Sandwich, different day.
Yeah I doubt anyone was buying that two holes story, and Andy’s shady ass asking Craig which hole he was in, sending Whitney into animated guffaws was a cheap moment cheapened even more so by the fact he repeats the question. I’d say they probably slept together that night.
Nah. And they were both safely passed out in their hotel rooms.

“Straight from the factory in the Y chromosomes”. Best line ever. I find these people sad. Poor Kathryn, having to fight so hard for the baby he wanted her to have. I hope she really lawyers up if it’s true there is another on the way.
Whitney is so twisted that the Katherine storyline hijacked his “Executive Producer” vision for Southern Charm: Cameron the centerpiece/narrator (yawn – adorable, but puppy shopping just isn’t compelling tv), Patricia and Whitney the socialites, at the center of civilized fundraisers…
Instead, we get a southern version of ratchet baby momma and drunk and disorderly friends. Then TT exposed the Patricia/Whitney Yankee grifters/closeted gay man tea and it’s on. I am enjoying this show with the reality backstory that we get here. Any more lawyer letters from Whitney and momma?
I agree that Whitney is pissed that his creative vision got hijacked when Kathryn arrived to steal the show. Andy knows who the stars are and he has shown Whitney what is up. It’s always all about the seating. And who sits at the end is just as important as who sits first, naturally for entirely different reasons. I got the vibe that Whitney is having a hard time letting go of his preferred storyline. The one about how fabulous it is to be nearly 50 and still hanging out like the 20 somethings…..
Whenever I see Whitney on the show I can’t help but think of the Grima Wormtongue character in the Lord of the Rings. The one that poisons the mind of the king of the Rohans (horse riders) King Théoden. He’s just slimy and you can almost see the gears winding away in his head as he tries to figure out how best to take advantage of any given situation. You just know he does a lot of evil shit behind the scenes. And that mother of his Patricia. A walking talking counterfeit-genteel piece of self-indulgent vileness. The casual manner with which she eviscerates Kathryn’s reputation is disgusting.
And to have an awesome band with a bitchin’ name like ‘boner’ backwards!
It looked like Step had a serious hangover. He was pale and shaky. Didn’t seem as mentally sharp as usual either. He is charming and sexy, but probably would be a huge loser without his family money. And I say this as a Step fan!
I agree. Sad face 🙁
Stupid phone doesn’t recognize the name Shep, I guess.
You forgot the part where Thomas said to Kathryn “We will destroy you!” with such a hate filled look on his face toward her. He looked awful on the show. More and more, he looks to me like an adult chimp with his long ears and face. Not nearly as handsome as he thinks he is. He should get down on his hands and knees and beg Kathryn’s forgiveness. It’s obvious that she still loves him dearly.
I was thinking something similar. I’m actually kind of happy for Kathryn he admitted to the fact the baby was planned,the private investigators, the GPS tracking, and almost by default admits the phone tapping, and computer bugging, but mostly I’m glad for her that he said we will destroy you because that’s going to cost him a hell of a lot of money.
Psst there are no PIs, no phone tapping, no GPS… NO THING they said on the reunion was true. NO THING.

Damn it! They got me again. Why the hell do I watch this crap?!
I had thought he was so charming and good-looking until this reunion. He needs some sun, some exercise and to be really grateful Kathryn is willing to f888 him. He is OFF my list of Do’s (Mike Sullivan of jersey belle is still Hot-three T’s hot).
TT your choice to give Kensi to Fredrick has to be one of your best ideas ever and you are always spot on, so that is brilliant. So blah end to the season with the reunion so boring.
If Fredrick and Derek could adopt anyone, it should be me. I’m a great cook.
You?! But I’m in love with Derek. Sure it’s the cheap tawdry kind that’s in it for the freaky sex, but surely that beats in it for the food. I would love him, and hug him, and squeeze him, and pet him, and …
Dang, I again wanted more. For me it ended too soon! My take on some of these things:
I’d forgotten how far behind Southern WASP fashion is. It doesn’t help that Cooper Ray is in another time entirely (1770s?). I wouldn’t turn down any of the ladies shoes because LuBus are Classics, but I like paying my bills (and working on my own mailbox money plan).
Whitney drives a wagon because he needs to be able to haul his amps and geetars everywhere because he also pretends he’s a rock star. (And those of us of a certain age drove our family wagon in the days before family vans.)
Kathryn SHOULD break up with her hairdresser if she did her hair for the reunion. Look at it from all sides, people!
$2500 a month: one minute it’s the state max, the next it’s up for negotiation. Think before you speak nonsense.
The chemistry between T & K is palpable through the screen. I’m with the rest of the cast: it must be exhausting to be around.
Final note: Mint juleps should not be served in mason jars, people! You can use it to make your simple syrup, but move it into a proper receptacle with a decent sipper. Patricia would have gotten that right.
Thank You so much for this recap! It was WAY more entertaining than the reunion. I kept thinking everyone on that stage was already doomed by the same afflictions as most other reality “stars” — addicted to the fame, dependent on the money, and brain-damaged from lying out of both sides of their mouths. Rotting from the inside out. Thomas seems to have aged 20 years, lost weight and tone, and seems slack-faced and punch-drunk. Is that drugs, or maybe Kathryn? She would wear me down to a nub, that’s for sure.
The comment about Fredrick and Derek was hysterical! “Somebody let me negotiate this deal”…so funny! One of the best recaps EVER.
Whitney reminds me of the creepy guy that pulls out the hair of the girls and smells it on Charlie’s Angels. He is such a jerkoff. I aslo find nothing good to say about Thomas. A deadbeat dad who I find equally unattractive. What a good looking 23 year girl saw in him is beyond me. But what the heart wants I guess. Landon who???? Love Cameron and Shep although Shep did kinda act douchie at the end. I didn’t watch last season so I don’t know the back story but if Craig would get his shit together I would like him a lot. Patricia ugh!!! No words.
Yaaaaaas that is exactly who Whitney reminds me of!
I think Patricia defined herself with her own words…”shameless strumpet”.
Twenty five hundred a month in child support is fine. She needs to negotiate and include child care and insurance. Kathryn needs to find a job to help support her daughter. Plus, she lives with her parents. Her living expenses are covered. If she wants more in child support, she needs to be able to show why she needs the increase. But it’s hard to argue child support when you are still with the baby daddy.
I agree completely with everything, but why should Kathryn’s expenses even matter? She absolutely should work, & she shouldn’t expect what divorced women do since they were never married. I would tell her to take the 2500$ & zip it, then I’d suggest that she try to make friends with Patricia & learn from the master!
SHOULD plus a double shot for the SHOULDN’T.

Wow!! Attacking me for saying what I think someone ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ do in a comment meant to express my opinion? Please, please tell me what word I SHOULD have used! What an idiotic way to attack someone!
As opposed to your constant attacking and dictating to people on TV what they should and should not do. My main issue with you is you tend to post the same thing about 12 different people I a row.
After reading about 6 comments in a row about how everyone is doing EVERTHING wrong followed by how they SHOULD be doing things, it’s just quite tiresome.
Which is why you are now the proud owner of a bottle of Windex. Please use it to remove your slobber from the window as necessary.

Craig is more educated than Shep and handsome, Admit it shep was determined to bring Craig down, but thank God Cameran and Patricia steped in, Patricia told Whitney to step in which he did. And cameran Bless her heart was always concern. Did you not see the look on her face when she realized Shep was jelious. Shep leg is always jumping, even Danni Shep old girlfriend is more concern about Craig. And TT why is cameran always on the end during the reunions.
I felt the same way…shep seems determined to take Craig down…he acted very jealous and spiteful on reunion. You never look good trying to make someone else look bad
None of that was real or serious. Nothing said on this show about anything was real or true. NO THING.

Shep went to private schools his whole life, boarding school in high school, undergraduate degree from UGA, MBA from Vanderbilt. How is he less educated than Craig again?
The seating was from most dramatic story line to least dramatic storyline. Cameran’s job is to sit there and look cute. She does it well.

Oopsie…didn’t see this before posting my own defense of Sheps education level!!
Yeah, I didn’t even have to read the list of schools to know that. If you watch the show every once in a while Shep says some really brilliant things that show he understands some pretty deep concepts. For some reason he’s adopted a pretty party boy persona probably because he figures that will get him laid more, and more friends.
Thanks Tamara! I’m bummed that none of it is real, but I will still watch.
Doesn’t Shep have an MBA?
Shep is well educated and somewhat erudite but remarkably insecure although he’d never admit it. As Craig said, they’re gauging their self worth on who most attracts the babes, to paraphrase. So for Craig to one- up Shep at the auction put a dent in Shep’s sensitive, competitive ego. Shep’s friendship with Craig is based upon Shep feeling superior to Craig and that post auction breakdown by Shep showed just how important that original dynamic between them is. Shep’s a cutie but he needs an exclusive relationship with a smart woman who’ll bolster his ego on a regular basis. Sheesh—men; gotta love em, bless their hearts, the pain in the ass fragile egos in pants that they can be.
Ive always tried to figure out who Whitney looks like and last night it dawned on me,,,,,, Alfalfa from The Little Rascals lol
Whitney looks and acts like a bat. Landon is *reality TV tapioca pudding.*
The bat comment is hilarious.
@megan Thanks. The Whitney-bat analogy was made by someone here (in a comment awhile ago) It’s apt tho
Bats are way cuter. Whitney has a weasel or possum face – eyes too close together.
I don’t know Whitney kind of reminds me of Kevin Spacey when he was in Mindnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, not look wise so much as character, although Kevin Spacey was far more charming. But just that icky part of his personality. LOL. After TT’s post yesterday of where people spotted Kathryn and then seeing that last night…..it is totally unreality TV.
Don’t yell at me Tamara but just to make things clear…is that baby really Thomas’ or is that fake too? Was it planned? Everyone’s background is real except for Miss Patricia and her son? We can not trust what anyone says?
I see Kathryn in Kinsey but not Thomas. However I realize that happens with babies. Makes one wonder.
The baby is lucky that she looks like her Mama.
Thomas is lucky to have had a child at his age. He was too selfish to even produce an heir until he finally realized he’s not getting any younger and fertile Kathryn came along, ready willing and able. There’s a good chance that there’ll be another child with Kathryn eventually. Kathryn wants Thomas and he wants beautiful children with an old southern pedigree. This is a match made in Holy City heaven.
The baby is Thomas’. There were no measures taken to prevent pregnancy by either parent.

If these are supposed to be Charleston’s charming men, or any southern men, there needs to be no explanation why I married a Yankee.
Thomas spends more money monthly to support a polo pony than his child and her Mother’s welfare.
Angel GG the men of Southern Charm are NOT in any way, shape, form or fashion a true representation of charming southern gentlemen! They are no more a picture of all southern men than the housewives are of the franchises they represent. Southern Charm is a Bravo t.v. show. That alone should tell us that these people are famewhores wanting their 15 minutes and willing to play any part to do so. I am married to a real southern gentleman who would never behave the way they do. I’m not saying all southern men are perfect because they are not. However, the men of Southern Charm claim to be gentlemen and I know many true southern gentlemen who would beg to differ.
Have no clue why the GG after your name appeared lol.
The males are the primary reason that Charleston is horrified.

Ha! I am certain that is so! I remember a friend telling me that the whole Midnight in the Garden thing was genuinely giving his mother “the vapours” (they were pedigreed Savannah-ites). I am sure the good ladies and true gentlemen of Charleston are completely appalled at the show.
I refused to watch/recap the show for season one for that very reason. It is bad enough that people think that RHOA represents Atlanta.

Hi Tamara, thanks for the recap! So, since the reunion was fake, does that mean the whole show is fake? Like when Kathryn looked like she was going to beat the shit out of a Whitney?
Does this mean that Kathryn and Thomas have a good , stable relationship and aren’t on-again, off-again? When was the reunion filmed?
Nah, the reunion was just particularly fake. Kathryn v Whitney and his mommy is not fake. Craig’s partying is not completely fake (but the job storyline was. He never worked for that guy) Shep, Cameran, Landon not fake, but the Pop up store was storyline so Bravo assisted in the staging. All the shows have lots of fake shit. Like Patricia had nothing to do with the charity, it was put on by Bravo, the gay guys from NY had nothing to do with it. But the fighting for the most part is real. I don’t think Shep is such a dick to Craig off camera…
You know. It’s a reality show. And Kathryn and Thomas break up and make up A LOT.

Hi TT, I know Whitney has a hand in the production of this show. Did he have any hand in the “reunion”? Probably not since mommy wasn’t with him. We know that they want season 3, could that be the reason for the child support segment and pretend anger coming from TRav? Also, noticed after the auction that Shep referred to a “fake bid”, could that be because producers told that singer to get the bid on Craig super high and then have Shep’s bid be really low to fuel the boys bickering? TT, do you have intel on this?
Yes.

I loved how Andy looked so southern with his suit and shoes. So is there even 1% of reality in the Southern Charm reality show other than Whitney is gay and a yankee?
Wow…so this show is fake too…ok..what is the point of reality tv again? Bravo is ruining the reason i started looking at reality to begin with…And southern men are SPOILED by their mamma’s, but that makes for good husbands too.
Sorry, but men spoiled by mommy do not make good husbands. Unless you enjoy playing the mom role instead of wife. Men who respect there mom, but not co dependant on there mom make good husbands. Big difference.
Most men are spoiled by their mothers, hence the term ‘mama’s boy’. It’s the etiquette & manners & respect for women that are ingrained in Southern men that makes them wonderful husbands & good men.
Also, most Southern men are raised to respect THEIR mom as well as THEIR wives. Sorry, my Southern education kicked in. Schools over THERE in the South make sure THEIR students get that grammar stuff.
I met my husband in a Craigslist sex ad. That was 12 years ago… True story.
But you are a perv. TT does NOT support meeting anyone on Craigslist. They are all axe murders. Sequoia’s time will come, his partner is just biding his time.

Trust me when I say, he’s the one living on borrowed time.
The reunion was disapointing, it was so heavy scripted, dont believe a word, even if scripted Kathryn is funny. That winey little greasy weasel poor excuse of a man child, I mean whitney should thank Kathryn without her he probably wouldnt have a story line or a pay check. Was it me or did Cameron seem really Bitchy, every time the camera was on her she was giving dirty looks or rolling her eyes. Maybe she’s pregnant. Season 1 seemed less scripted. Listen we all known Thomas is not leaving Kathryn. She young, beautiful(for a Ginger) lol kidding Don’t come for me all you Gingers. And he’s, um, well, I will get back to you on that.
Cameran and Landon both know how fake the fights were. They are “boring” because they choose not to go there. Although Landon is sort of rewriting history. Her husband filed for divorce, not her for example…

Oh! I would love it if you’d give us some history on Landon’s marriage! From her comments on the show, I’m thinking she married a rich guy who happened to work lots, so she got upset that she was only entertained when he had events. She mentioned that she didn’t work & had housekeepers when she was married, but he wasn’t there 24/7. I really had trouble feeling any sympathy for her. If she was so bored & so lonely, why wasn’t she working or doing charity work? Ugh!
I had a hard time finding Landon’s story interesting, too. I didn’t find her to be very genuine… Slowly realizing all or most of their stories are mostly fabricated for a story line, as the gullible viewer I am, I have empathized with some of the cast or found them revolting in any of the reality show I watch. With Landon, I felt nothing. Monday night, I beleve, Kathryn tweeted that Landon had made up her story for the cameras. Ha!
She is beautiful “for a ginger?” You can’t say something offensive like that, and hide behind a “just kidding”, wink wink. If you didn’t mean it, you wouldn’t have typed it.
Ginger is an offensive and derogatory term. Red heads aren’t amused. My daughter is a beautiful RED HEAD and grew up with a-holes making stupid ginger comments. (Try inserting the word “black” or “Latina” in your comment, and see how it sounds. Doesn’t read nicely, does it?) Did you also enjoy the kick-a-ginger days South Park set off? I know my daughter didn’t.
Every time Andy says “I love me a ginger”, I want to reach through the TV and slap him.
My favorite hair color is red– all shades from strawberry blonde to dark auburn. It’s a gift to have red hair although kids have been teased about it for ages as it’s a somewhat uncommon color. Kathryn reminds me of Sissy Spacek who had similar coloring and strawberry blonde/ red hair.
Some of you take Scarcasm way too serious. There or their who gives a fuck, its called a no sleep mistake. What are you the grammer police. About the Ginger comment, people say shit about dumb blondes all the time, its a joke. Calm down, take a deep breath no need to be so sensitive. It’s TV “reality” show no need to get your panties in bunch.
You seem new. Nothing wrong with this post, but you may want to check the commenting rules. I don’t think you will have a long tenure here otherwise.

OMG this recap has me laughing out loud, and laughing hard. TT, thank you !! How damned funny. Kathryn’s a reality star and the gigantic irony is that she can’t stand Whitney or his mother, and Whitney was a producer. I just love how Kathryn shuts them all down and can put Whitney in his place and have him cowering like one of Pat’s dogs. And silly ass Thomas can’t get enough of her wonderful stuff despite Whitney’s wheedling and meddling.
I find Landon’s voice super annoying, but not her personality. She doesn’t get under my skin; she’s happy go lucky and I’m glad for people like that, I can’t relate lol
You really do need to take this show with a grain of salt and that reunion was a piss poor excuse for a wrap-up. They just skimmed the surface of so much nonsense and no real meat and potatoes of the drama. I was pretty creeped out by the hate and tone Thomas had for Kathryn, I don’t like either of them much, but there is something very scary about a man that takes a threatening tone with a woman that way. Talking about destroying her, and crucifying, and having her followed. Sounds like my abusive ex, good job Thomas! Can’t imagine why your political ambitions tanked lol
I should have just left it at reading TTs recap and deleted the actual reunion before watching. I want my hour back.
The women looked lovely, minus the red lipstick on Kathryn. The men were sporting jackets that looked like they were country-club chic back in the 60s. Shep looked like he was either sick or hungover….really pale and just didn’t look good. Or well. Meaning both lol
That clubhouse rug makes me think of the egg-frying “this is your brain on drugs” commercial from years ago!
Thomas called his daughter Cassidy, did nobody catch that.When he was talking about splitting the custody and what he wants. I watched the scene 3 times, Cassidy!
Great recap.
He called her Kensie.

Who is Cassidy? I forget. Is that the cheap drunk with the annoying voice who lived on the boat before she started slumming in her downtown Chas apt?
Spot on TT. Totally summed it up. I am so sick of that fake
Miss Pat . & Whitney who just needs to stop pretending
he isn’t gay. They would both be better suited to make
a 2nd Movie Psyco. Perfect script for both of them.
