Every time I pass a post on Instagram of Naomie Olindo or Craig Conover there is wild speculation that the two have broken up. I believe this usually happens because we are always several months behind on their real lives. So we see the bickering on the show and then no photos of them together on social media for a bit, and jump to conclusions. The same thing happened with Kentucky and Jax when their show was filming and today people are speculating that they are engaged.
This season the storyline for Naomie and Craig is that Craig is an idiot who is way too in touch with his feminine side who can’t seem to please anyone. I never really believed this relationship was real from the beginning, but it has stuck around for more than one season and there were a lot of photos of them during the off-season where it appeared they were actually living together. So I suppose it is real. I still think the fights they film are manufactured.
Naomie has been on a graduate studies trip to Europe for the last couple of weeks. People were freaking out because Craig was not with her. You don’t take your boyfriend with you on a study abroad trip. Why take sand to the beach?
Today she posted the photo above with the comment, “The face you make when you know it’s your last interview,” and everyone is freaking out worried that she is not returning.
I’m sure she is returning. When I clicked on her make-up artists link, she and Naomie were talking about being wrapped for the season. This means they are now free to move around the cabin. Until the next season starts filming in a couple of months. I anticipate vacation scenes with Craig in the near future. Followed by the engagement by Bravo season filming.
Nobody panic.
Naomi looks very pretty in that photo.
Sigh. Sorry to hear that, they slag each other with hurtful back and forth on the show. Marriage only seems to make that double time stress wise if you are operating under the “book of rules.” and behave badly as you did under the “just dating.”
Craig needs to be with Kathryn.
I sense that that’s the end game.
Agree
I really don’t care if they are together or not. She seems to be spoiled. Craig is just a late bloomer. I give him applause for finally getting to his goal. He was surrounded by doubters (Cameron, Shep, Whitney) or were they just envious of him all along for his popularity? ?? I enjoyed watching him garden, learning sewing skills. Not a guy to walk away from in my opinion. Oh and by the way, I would be so afraid to date Shep and the hundreds he has bedded.
Craig Conover is my favorite on the show. I think Craig is well rounded and has incredible insight. Yes he messed up a couple of times but my God he is still really young and he did accomplished what he sat out to do. We don’t even know what Whitney does. Shep is a joke. I can barely watch any of Shep’s sceens. I liked him ok season one but Shep ruins the show for
me. He ia everything that je accuses Craig to be. I hope that cute gal Chelsea stays far far away from Shep. She will end up like Landon id she hooks up with Shep.
I have thought from the beginning Shep is kind of a loser but if he’s happy and not hurting anyone fine by me. I would never date him.
Craig is also my favorite person on the show ! Really don’t like when people try to constantly criticize him including his girlfriend she seems abusive to him.
He should talk very seriously to his parents before there relationship goes any further Please Do not get married!
If someone loves you they support you and defend you ,not criticize and roll there eyes .
I never doubted that he would pass the bar
He is very intelligent .
Right-o on Shep. Who would even seriously consider him. But, like Thomas, he will never marry.
I agree and he’s gonna be a wonderful father someday too. Everyone has faults. I like Naomi but she has to realize she has faults too. I don’t wanna talk bad about her because I think deep down she’s s great person.
I like Craig for all the many reasons there are to like him. Now, I think where he goes wrong is that he truly doesn’t want to be a lawyer, but he doesn’t want to admit it to himself or anybody because it means he’s going to let somebody down. Namely his parents..and now Naomi. But I get the impression his parents would forgive him after it’s all said and done as long as he starts growing up and sticking with something. He’s received so much criticism from the likes of Shep (the do-nothing playboy) and Whitney and even Cameron…people that are suppose to be his friends. Criticism is NOT encouragement and is damaging to people struggling with self doubt, direction or motivation. Shep is CLEARLY hostile toward Craig and jealous so he calls him out on the one thing he knows is Craigs weak spot. What business is it of HIS if Craig hasn’t completed the bar? Does he pay Craigs bills?
I do think Craig has taken some opportunities for granted and kind of thrown them away, like when J.T. was giving him an opp to work for him and his company. But J.T. didn’t continually bad mouth him for it either. The bottom line is… If it ends up that Craig is more of an artist, fashion creator, chef or gardener or all of the above, I wouldn’t be surprised. And maybe that’s who he really is and it’s taking some time for him to figure it all out. Naomi’s inability to allow Craig to talk when they should be having an open discussion is a red flag in their relationship. How can he trust her with his true feelings if she keeps shutting him down? I understand she has high expectations and is frustrated by things, but it’s clear she’s a person who doesn’t want to be called out on her own attitude or behavior in how it’s effecting their relationship. And her going back and talking down about Craig to Shep or making comments about her own BF to the rest of the cast…not cool. Finally, I do wished Craig wouldn’t go into ‘gossip mode’ when it comes to Kathryn and Thomas. I know he cares about her, and I wonder if it’s partly to do with idenfitying with the “underdog” or trying to be relevant but I think his loyalties are misplaced when it comes to that situation and he’s too quick to judge.
Psst the “job” with JD was fake.
I agree about Shep! Gross!! I always think STD when I watch the show. He doesn’t seem like a very healthy person either. He’s in his way to a diseased liver from all his drinking
Not panicking here. I agree about the fights being scripted. Thanks, Tamara, for brightening my evening. Now I will enjoy my chicken pot pie even more.
I think Craig is very good looking. I also like him. He is a nice, low key guy. I am sure he would have no problem finding another girl if they did break up. Nor would she have a tough time finding another guy. It’s sad that in the reality world normal and low key usually translates to boring. The ratings beg for drama.
I kind of feel like this whole season they are trying to play hook ups all over the place. Hinting at this person and that person having a “fling”. They said Shep tried to hit on Naomi on the first date with Craig. They even made them (Shep and Naomi ) seem like they had more chemistry than her and Craig. Saying Shep goes to Naomi when he wants the truth or to know what is going on. Landon and all the insinuated hook ups. Same with Chelsea and same with Wes. blah blah blah. Just seems like they are trying to throw some fuel on the fire and see what happens. I don’t believe any of this. She and Craig were fine before. Just an observation but this seems like Southern Charm the Match.Com edition.
Naomi has been interviewed post-filming. She and Craig are fine. I think this was just a story line.
Craig really needs to end up with Katherine! He’s always defending her. It makes me think he still likes her! Even if it was a one night stand!
Craig and Kathryn never hooked up. Craig liked her but she hooked up with Shep after she hooked up with whitney and both of them were before Thomas. I bet Craig just likes her as a friend.
Craig is very kind and a loyal friend. He’s pretty insightful and not afraid to call the boys out.
I like them so I hope they are still together. Even more so for Gizmo. If they broke up
Who would get that adorable bundle of fur???? I just love that cat
Craig hooked up with Kathryn too??? I knew about Thomas, Whitney and Shep. Holy cow!! I did not know about Craig.
Craig didn’t hook up with Kathryn! Way to start rumors! Ughhh!
Yeah, I think they both deny it. But they were wasted on Jekyll and claimed they got lost and had to sleep on the island. There is like one road that the resort is on that is a loop around the small island. No where to get lost. Just literal sex on the beach. And Craig was very into Kathryn, but she was always going back to Thomas.

I too believed Craig n Kathryn hooked up on jekyll. (for same reasons TT cited)
I like Craig and Naomi. She can be kind of bitchy but he can be whiny. I hope they have a happy future together. They seem good for each other. A little fighting is fine especially the first year living together.
Wait, if they’re just finishing up, does that mean Saint’s baptism was filmed?
I don’t think so. The church would not want a reality show at their Easter Services, one presumes.
The confusion may lie here:
When Naomi 1st posted this on IG, her cutline said “last interview *ever*”
Then she edited her caption to read as posted here.
I think Craig would be with Kathryn in a heartbeat if she would have him.
Why??? He’s already said this season she brings too much tension. Guys in general are turned off by harpy drama queens.
She posted a photo last week saying She was away for studies and for those wondering she and Craig are still together. I’m glad they are talking to a therapist. All relations take work and if they are worth it to you than you will put in the work.
Personally, I can not stand Naomi. IMO, she hooked up with Craig to get her 5 mins of Fame. She has been nothing but disrespectful to Craig to his face and behind his back. She is a spoiled brat like Shep.
The difference between Naomi and Craig’s relationship and Jax and Ky’s
relationship is fact that both Jax and Ky actually love each each.
I hope Craig has opened his eyes and taken the trash out and Naomi finds herself a European reality show to be on.
YES! She always tries to convince Craig that he’s lucky to be w/her…its the other way around! Craig is a GREAT catch! There are lots of REAL women (not entitled brats) who would be glad to be w/him!
I felt the same way at first Cyndy. But IRL this seems to have turned into a real thing no matter how it started.
Craig is such a narcissistic & spoiled whiny baby. I feel so sorry for his parents for having to raise such a jerk. I’m sure it’s not all their fault. I’d be totally embarrassed if he were my child. Naomie would be blessed to lose him & so would the show. UGH!!! Winner of the worst person on a reality show award next to that Nene Leakes.
