Southern Charm: Ain’t No Thang Like A Chicken Wang

June 26, 2017 by tamaratattles 75 Comments

Rarely does a Bravo show come to an end when I am not happy that it’s over; however, this season of Southern Charm is an exception. Because of Kathryn’s delayed start to filming, there were a lot of filler scenes up front until things got back to normal with Kathryn’s arrival. At least this finale is supersized.

We pick back up with most of the gang still in Key West. Kathryn has brought a book to read at the beach. The 48 Laws of Power (1998) is the first book by American author Robert Greene. The book is a bestseller, selling over 1.2 million copies in the United States, and is popular with prison inmates and celebrities. She’s up to Law 42: Strike The Shepherd And The Sheep Will Scatter.

While the guys and Chelsea take advantage of the water activities, the ladies stay on the beach getting massages and gossiping. Kathryn, Elizabeth and Danni talk about Landon’s sudden about-face regarding Kathryn.  Kathryn say she doesn’t know if Landon is genuine but she just needed to have some resolution to the Landon situation,

Outside of the restaurant they all meet up at later that evening, Kathryn tells Thomas that she wanted to run the idea of mediation by him. She thinks they are in a good enough place to work things out among themselves and stop paying all of their money to lawyers. Thomas is more than willing. They did try, but recently it all fell apart. 

Before they even get in the door of the restaurant, Danni says she is not feeling well, and then collapses. Most of the guys decided to take scooters to the restaurant and were not there yet. Elizabeth calls JD who was really great at calming her down after she got a bit frightened seeing Danni leave in an ambulance. It turns out it was too much sun and not enough water for Danni.

So the dinner goes on. Thomas is pissy with Thomas. Shep gives Cameran a T-shirt. Then Craig gives her the onsie he made for her not quite conceived yet baby. Cameran cries and then wonders why she is so emotional. That doesn’t stop her from pulling Craig aside the next morning to tell him that he is the asshole in his relationship with Naomie. I get this is story line, but most people watching don’t know that and it makes Cameran look like a bitch. Again. Also, Shep is drinking his breakfast. This is probably not wise but it it totally what I do for breakfast at the beach many mornings. Especially in St. Lucia where they make you a lovely banana daquiri for breakfast. Bananas are a breakfast food.

I think we all had this face during this scene.

Thomas drops by to chat with JD. JD lets us know that Shep and Craig missed their connecting flight home because they were drinking. Thomas says that Landon had told him prior to the trip that she didn’t even want to look at or speak to Kathryn. Then Landon suddenly got on #TeamKathryn Thomas starts quoting Jane Austen, ” My good opinion once lost, is lost forever.” I have no idea how he could pull off this tirade without cracking up. He does seem high. And serious.

Kathryn goes to chat with Naomie about Craig. She tells her that Craig didn’t want to come home from Key West. Because NO ONE WANTS TO COME HOME FROM KEY WEST.  Kathryn is just as bad as Cameran for getting into another couple’s relationship. Kathryn is Craig’s friend first and this entire conversation is inappropriate. Naomie says that she has been being mean to him because she resents having to keep his secret about the Bar exam. Kathryn honestly thinks she is someone who needs to give Naomie a private relationship therapy session.

Later, Naomie and Craig have a heart to heart about how Naomie treats Craig. Naomie sort of owns up to her part and then says Craig is still an asshole. Craig says that he doubts her love for him. They are not happy anymore. He needs a positive influence in his life.

Kathryn stops by to talk to Thomas. He has had photos made of the kids going to see Santa that he wants to give her. I really hope he actually invited her to go with them, but I doubt that he did. He goes on a long speech in confessional about how hot Kathryn is. Dear God, the kids are out in the back house and Kathryn is not allowed to see them. Is that because of the courts? Why wouldn’t Thomas be able to supervise a visit? And either way, it makes her showing up to the christening reception at Thomas’ house even crazier.  This conversation is awkward and sad. Then Thomas starts spouting Scarlett O’Hara quotes and they hug it out. And keep hugging it out. Longer than an Eden Sasson hug they hug it out. Thomas says that he thinks about her a lot, she says she does too. She calls him “baby.” Kathryn says she kind of wants to kiss him, and we fade to black.

The big finale party is supposedly for the closing of Sermet’s. I don’t think it really is a closing as much as a makeover and a renaming of the place to The Gentry Bar.  At the party Naomie tells someone who tells everyone else that Thomas and Kathryn kissed. The old bitty leaves when Kathryn arrives.

Apparently, despite Shep being such and asshole to Craig all season, Craig stayed behind at the airport with Shep because Shep was too drunk to fly. He also choked on a chicken wing, thus the ridiculous title of this episode. “Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter” would have been one of a number of better titles.

Austen puts the moves on other women at the party. Thus wrapping up the Austen and Chelsea story line. They did make out a lot in Key West. Austen says that he had no idea that would upset her. Austen needs to understand that whenever he escorts a lady to a party no matter what their relationship, it is in appropriate to leave her sitting alone and go off to fondle other women. While I thought for sure this was a breakup scene, somehow it turns into making their relationship official.  Well, TV official at least.

Shep continues to be an asshole to Craig. Craig threatens to deck him. Then he punches him in the leg. Shep keeps on being a douchebag. Landon has decided to crawl up Shep’s butthole for this entire event and joins in on the nasty comments toward Craig. Why is this season about to end with more Craig abuse? Shep storms out of the party drunk.

Kathryn and Thomas talk about how nice it is that they are not the ones with the crazy drama story line for a change.  Drunk Thomas is all over Kathryn. I lost a few seconds of the end, where Kathryn professes her love for Thomas.

And so it ends.

    Kathryn and Thomas make me queasy.

    I don’t know if it is either Kathryn or Thomas specifically, but something about the pairing of the two of them together makes my stomach churn.

    Ew.

    The scene between Kathryn and Thomas was hard to watch because their chemistry is so strong, and their love for each other seems so real — why aren’t they married? Their children would love it and they could have a happy family. And I know I will be accused of romanticizing — but the romance was in the air and it was palpable and magical. ????? Did the carpetbagger and her minions undermine everything? Kathryn did say she felt “less than” when she was with T-Rav. How could she not with envious, seething ass-schul constantly clawing at her. I wish T-Rav would side with Kathryn and tell the Yankee to go jump in the Hudson River. And it seemed incomprehensible that Kathryn’s children were in the very next room and she was not allowed to see them.

      I agree. Watching those two and the way they look at each other, it’s obvious that they still have very strong feelings for each other. How did it go from that to him taking the kids to California without her permission and withholding her parenting time from her? It’s painful to see them start to get along knowing it will all go to shit again. I wish the California part was all fake drama for publicity and to keep people guessing, but there were court motions involved, so I doubt it. I still suspect that they resolved the situation because they realized they are both better off keeping each other’s secrets than spilling them to the court. I would love to see these two make it work, but the chances that someone is going to get drunk and then someone is going to get crazy are pretty good.

      I don’t think TRav “loves” anyone but TRav. He shops for the most fitting wife for a man of his notable stature (tongue in cheek), while entertaining himself with any girl that’s willing. Even when he vacillated this week over Kathryn, his evidence for getting closer was that she has a hot body. HE gives me the creeps.

        I hate it when redheads do that to their hair, when most of us would kill for their original color. BUT when the show started a few years ago and we were introduced to K., her hair was an unnatural color then, too. So we know it’s at least capable of recovering its natural self!

    Don’t know why Craig is so insistent that Kathryn and Landon must air out their differences, but he needs to butt out. They will never be friends. Sometimes a “bandaid” friendship is exactly what’s called for.

    Kathryn is so beautiful in casual, well cut casual wear….and so awful in the fussy overdone dramatic clothes, especially formalwear, that I think she prefers. And that black lipstick-horrors!

    I thought for sure you’d have something to say, TT, about Patricia bringing Caroline Roehm as her plus one to the closing party,

    There’s plenty to blame Thomas for, but I don’t blame him for not letting Katherine pop in on the kids. As we saw last week, it upsets them when she leaves. Why do that to them just to indulge her desire to see them? It’s selfish and she has herself to blame for why they’re without her.

    I hope Craig doesn’t take up mediating as a career. He’s really really bad at it. It was nice, though, to see Naomi kinda sorta own her own bitchiness, even though she probably didn’t mean it.

    Kathryn has benefitted from her time in rehab & I wish she & Thomas could get back together. They really love each other, when he isn’t being a dick. Thomas is the one who could benefit from some counseling! I hope Naomie & Craig and Chelsea & Austen all make it in the long run. So sue me, I’m a hopeless romantic. What’s up with Patricia bringing all her girlfriends on the show? First Georgette Mosbacher & now Carolyn Roehm. Awkward. And Patricia should follow her own etiquette advice and be nicer to Kathryn. That story line is getting old.

    Landon and Shep pissed me off in that final scene. Even if it wasn’t Craig’s place to get involved, I still think he was being genuine in trying to help. The dolphin and the drunkie sitting there and making fun of him trying to make themselves look better backfired in my opinion. Guess Landon has moved back over to trying to land shep since Thomas is done with her.

    When Landon said about Kathryn “I guess she doesn’t want to lose her meal ticket”, I went somewhere between enraged and amused. It is so screamingly obvious Landon wants a meal ticket who quietly supports her website. And the whole hug-it-out with Kathryn was another lie. Oh, and the “I never said anything bad about you” was yet another lie.
    And then Landon spills wine over her sister’s couch. Which meant Landon could rattle on while her sister kept mopping and blotting.
    Trying to understand Austin/Chelsea, Shep/artist girl, Craig/his brain.
    What a strange episode!

    I may be a bit twisted and biased but it gave me such a fit of giggles when Craig was threatening to smack Shep. I SO wanted it to happen, Shep needed a good one all season.

    Sorry Shep. Its hard to actually see the world around you thru the party-spattered beer googles you wear. But I’d bet my last dollar that next season, he’ll open with “I’ve turned a new leaf, I”m wiser and sober.”

    Gimme more Craig, the embroidery function and Gizmo, I’ll be happy.

      I would so record and rewatch Craig, Gizmo and his various crafts. He has a soothing voice and he is sincere in his work. Whether building a deck or planting a garden, he seems “real” when he is doing it.
      My “old lady” advice to Naomie: if you love him completely, be the “breadwinner”, marry him and have him be the stay at home. I have seen many great marriages like this. Just be clear with him about your expectations and budget.

          If I was Naomie,I would have many of the same concerns. He as been out of work two/three seasons ( per the storyline) , to her knowledge at this point. He had lost his jobs, had grandiose mistaken perceptions of his qualifications/readiness for roles that he was not chosen for , seems to have an arrogance and imperialism about him, without earning it. He has historically had a tendency to party all night and enjoy the role of the landed gentry, without having the land or the gentrification while failing to do his day job.
          Underneath, it is clear he is a dear young man who needs support and encouragement, but she is working all day while he dabbles in anything he chooses, leisurely. If he really wants a law degree, it would make sense for him to be working in a law firm, as an apprentice, young trainee, call it what you will, these roles no longer fall off trees and he seems to assume they just are waiting for him the moment he wants to grow up and start working. Attorneys all over the country are realizing that is not the case.
          And if I were her, that is what I’d be worrying about. It almost appears he is overwhelmed by worries over his mistakes and lies and is unable to keep up any more public effort until he learns if he passes the bar. It seems that he is unwilling to publicly appear to still be pursuing Law as a career, compounding the mistakes any further.

          He does not seem to have thought beyond that, now. It is sad but neither of them is helping t he other much- they aren’t having the discussions of support on both sides they should. AN honest understanding of where each one is coming from and what they are working to, together could have avoided a lot of this- but men often don’t; discuss these issues- adwomen often don’t know how either.

            You make good points about expectations but here’s what I see / saw: Craig was super uncomfortable when he was “apprenticing” at the law firm and with Gentry. I view this dabbling period of his as just that; getting into his own head and casting out a lot of lines to figure out his path. If this went on forever, yea, I’d get a little freaked if as a couple we hadn’t discussed the future. But she knows her path, let him figure out his.

            We never heard Naomie saying he wasn’t meeting his $$ end of their bills. Just that she wanted him to get his law degree, her to get her MBA and for them to get jobs.

            However I do agree with her that having to lie on his behalf for a year re: graduating law school would have been my line in the sand.

            I watch this to be entertained and knowing that his family mentions he wrote a cookbook out of the blue as a younger man, his embroidery programme function and that chill cat just crack me up.

              She didn’t have to lie. She could have been honest with him and told him that she was not going to be a part of that deception. It would have set some rules about what is ok and what is not ok. It is one thing over something that is life changing etc. But this was not life changing. Why would he even ask her to lie about that? I think it says something about him that he asked and she that she did it. Loyalty isn’t always about doing what the person asks sometimes it is about what is best for both of you. They seem to have some big communication issues or the storyline is their communication issues.

            Both the law internship and the working for JD crap WAS STORY LINE.

            CRAIG MAKES SIX FIGURES ON THE SHOW. He doesn’t need an internship or a crap job from JD.

            It must drive him crazy that his real life is not shown. And that people seem to think he isn’t paid handsomely for the show and for his hosting gigs.

            IN THE MEAN TIME HE IS STUDYING FOR THE BAR, which he just passed on the first try.

      @NellBell. You nailed it! Thomas is no Prince Charming but would you want to live with someone so vile who would treat you like how she treated Jennifer at that lunch, birthday party and totally ignored in Key West for no reason except a handkerchief!. Kathryn also used the “old Phaedra excuse” on how she was told that Jennifer’s son was Thomas’ just to deflect from herself. That is the REAL Kathryn and the cast and crew knows it. She is a scary, creepy women, especially with that dark lipstick IMO.

      Last week’s episode was very telling. While wearing blue dress commenting, she said that Whitney was part of her downfall. She has learned nothing apparently.

      JD joked to Thomas not to buy any rabbits. That is quite a statement. I expect a crying pity party at the reunion.

            That was a typo this time, and should have read “cOunt” on”. That said, I do think that, like the carpetbagger (who you say you admire) you never miss an opportunity to put Kathryn down. And as to why I defend her, I guess it is because I think she was horribly bullied and that hurt her, which hurt her children. And because she is very young and not rich and snobby, like her attackers. Just my opinion, and yes, you are entitled to yours.

            I totally agree with Spunky2015. I see right through Kathryn. She was young and wanted a sugardaddy. She got pregnant twice thinking he would marry her and she would have it all. Doesn’t always happen that way. Now she’s pissed she didn’t get what she was out to get and she can’t handle it. Thomas is no saint, but he knows how she is and how nasty she can be. I have no doubt in my mind that the person that commented on if he married her she would be different. I highly doubt that. She would be just as mean, crazy and still doing drugs around her children.
            I got the impression when she was talking to Thomas outside of the restaurant (and I may be wrong and I may have totally misunderstood what she meant) when she said forget about the court and lets more or less do it on our own. Is that her way of saying now no one can tell me when I could have the kids and no more drug testing?? I really don’t understand what she meant by that. But if she doesn’t want the courts involved, that’s what I think will happen. She could be as nasty as she wants and do all the drugs she wants.
            I really don’t see a change in her. When I look at her she always has the look of where her next drink or high is going to be. She’s very manipulative. That’s why she gets violent. When people like that don’t get what they want, they freak out.
            I thought her behavior at the reunion last year was so bizzare and so immature, I could barely watch it. The way she was sitting, swinging her leg when they were crossed, her facial expressions and accusing everybody of anything and her truly believing she was right. I had to chuckle when she told Landon, “Don’t EVER talk about my children. EVER”! First of all, Landon said nothing about her children in the way Kathryn thinks in her head she did, but if she’s so protective of her kids, then don’t do drugs and risk what’s happening now. Not seeing them or having them 24/7.
            Sorry for the rant, but I’m new here commenting and I had to get this off my chest.

    pickled patti gave gave such a disgusted look w/her half frozen, facelifted face when she saw kd and t-rav talking and she abruptly left the party. she is really a sick woman to be so obsessed w/a young girl. naomi will may loose her meal ticket if she and craig split… she adds nothing to show and has no storyline except fighting w/craig. she is truly nasty.

      In a way, yes. As lorip posted above, pickled, poisonous Patti, at least on the show, seems OBSESSED with Kathryn, a gorgeous young woman more than half her age, and on the show PPP acted hysterical in her need to stop T-Rav from marrying Kathryn and making Kathryn seem “less than”. But now, like Landon’s lies and lack of girl code, PPP’s true motives of deep envy and haughty, self-vaunted ego have been exposed — she was afraid that Kathryn would eclipse her and take T-Rav away from her social circle where she presided as his ersatz wife because he was (until Kathryn) settling down with no one. And Kathryn has true Southern lineage, true beauty, a talk model’s figure, enormous eyes, and undeniable charisma — everything the carpetbagger lacks. Also – Kathryn truly loves T-Rav and is warm hearted. And, per her own description of how to catch wealthy geezers, PPP can only understand angling for men with a cold and calculating grip. In short– PPP is so bitter – that she cannot abide the thought of Kathryn, let alone Kathryn’s and T-Rav’s happiness. She wanted to take T-Rav under her Kaftan and watch him grow as dried out as she is – even if only with someone like Landon who PPP thought she could control. T-Rav needs to see the jealous crypt-keeper for what she is, escape her claws, and leave her alone to watch her elephant clock. T-Rav should marry Kathryn and both of them live with their two children “happily ever after”. And if witches melt because of their happiness — oh well.

        Amendment to my post — Kathryn is actually three times younger than the crypt-keeper who is 76 to Kathryn’s 25. Making Patti’s feelings of competitive jealousy toward Kathryn all the creepier.

      I think Patricia wanted Kathryn to be with Whitney & provide some beautiful grandchildren with the Calhoun lineage (because she is such a snob), even though Whitney is gay or bi and obviously has no interest in having kids. That’s originally how it was supposed to go down; at least that Kathryn was going to be Whitney’s girlfriend, until she bolted with Thomas. So I think Patricia is pissed that Whitney got dumped, she didn’t get any Calhoun grandkids, and her faithful Thomas got distracted by & looked like he was headed to the altar with Kathryn. Adding fuel to the fire is that Kathryn is gorgeous and reminds Patricia of herself at that age. I used to enjoy seeing Patricia on the show, but she has just become bitter & critical. She puts such a premium on being genteel & having good manners, which is ironic, since she doesn’t practice what she preaches. I used to think the other cast members were deferential to her because of her age, but now I think it’s just a matter of her money & Whitney being one of the show’s producers. Everyone wants to stay in their good graces and continue to be invited to Patricia’s elegant dinner parties…..and to have their contracts renewed!

          Thanks, @scottishwitch, I liked your analysis too! Had to laugh about Patricia taking Thomas under her kaftan, lol! I truly wish Kathryn & Thomas would get married. Kathryn was very observant a few episodes back when she said Thomas doesn’t know how to accept love. Seeing how awful his father treats him, I would imagine he hasn’t had much genuine love in his life. I think if he and Kathryn went to a good marriage counselor, they might be able to work things out. I don’t think she’s a gold digger, I think she genuinely loves him. Now if only he could stop chasing other women & settle down! If he doesn’t watch out, he may end up like his dried up old Dad.

            Amy:
            Once again I agree with you totally, and wish and hope that Thomas and Kathryn get married. I believe they truly love each other, and could have a happy and healthy life together, and that their two adorable children would be so happy with their mommy and daddy together. After everything they have all been through (and in my opinion much of their sorrow was caused by conniving people who did not wish them well) — I think they have earned their “happy ever after”. And why not let Kathryn be a stay at home mom (it is what children need for true protection and affection) and she can also take up studies in whatever she would like to pursue once Kensie and Saint go to school full time. I think having the security of marriage for her family would be wonderful for all concerned.

    I love hearing Thomas pronounce some words – the way he says “Audacity” makes me want to fan my face 🙂 I thought he and Kathyrn looked like they might reconnect but I doubt it. It would be too good.
    I have really enjoyed most aspects of “New” Craig this season except his hackles always being up when around Shep. Craig talking to Gizmo while gardening or sewing is just adorable.

    That conversation with J.D. was priceless. I don’t like Landon, but OMW, he gave her the “opportunity to date him”. I about fell off the couch. He really has some opinion of himself that does not quite match up with the rest of the world. If he is qualifies for a catch in the world these days, well we are in far worse shape than I ever imagined. LOL

    When Thomas said to Kathryn (something like) “you are so negative if you used that passion and energy for something positive you can accomplish anything. ” DING ding ding he is so fucking condescending and arrogant. This type of statement would have made me go Craig punch in the leg crazy, (but no body puts my Craigy in the corner). He knocked her up TWICE then suied her for full custody before her child was even crawling!!!!!. No shit she can be negative you dumb fuck. She knows she did drugs and acted like a 21 year old wasted but what’s your excuse at 65??

      I agree lilbeesite! Why should Kathryn have to prove herself by doing x, y or z when Landumb and Poisonous Patricia do nothing but suck air and strike superior poses – but they are so worthy of Thomas’ attention? Kathryn just as herself is so much more beautiful, talented and intelligent than they can ever hope to be. And yes — if you hit someone, they will hurt. And Thomas threw a lot of punches.

    Does anyone remember when Thomas showed a remarkable amount of humanity when someone was trashing K about having slept with most of the SC men? He said that there was a double standard and that shouldn’t be held against her anymore than it would one of the men. That made me fall in love with T-Rav <3

    Since Craig passed the bar exam in February he clearlymust have really been studying while Southern Charm was filming. All the issues about him not studying for the bar, gardening, becoming a carpenter, a seamstress and a real estate investor were just for a storyline. (I know, Im late to this observation) So I wonder if him and Naomie’s relationship issues were fake as well? I like Craig, he really seems like a genuinely nice guy.

    Ive already asked this before, but I thought that girl in the first episode who was playing polo with Thomas was supposed to be a new cast member. Does anyone know why she was never in the show anymore after that? I was just wondering if she quit or her storyline was scrapped.

    I still love Kathryn and hope she stays on the straight and narrow.

    Landon still sucks and I could take her or leave her. The shy little cutsey girl routine she puts on for men is nauseating. Especially because she could do a 180 when discussing Kathryn. She was mean, vindictive and spiteful in those conversations

      She was hired on a per episode basis when it looked like Kathryn was not going to be able to a film. When she returned from rehab she was signed for the season and the replacement was no longer needed. However then it appears that Kathryn relapased. She is a 20/21 year old college student at Clemsonand may end up returning in a future season.

        Thank you for filling me in! I thought she was supposed to sign on as a friend of Kathryn’s or something. It also looked like Thomas was flirting with her in that first episode so i thought she might be a love interest too. Im guessing Chelsea will be back next season as a regular cast member.

    I am still in panic attack mode after a hellish trip to Kroger where there was just ONE LINE OPEN in a packed store during evening rush. I spent a considerable amount of time in the checkout line so I distracted myself reading STAR.

    There was a tiny little post about the female cast of Southern Charm trying to get Landon fired and Danni in her place. I have heard nothing about this. It sounds too good to be true to me. Especially as they went to a lot of trouble to write a fake script to get her front and center every episode with Thomas.

    I have been watching Shep throughout the years, and this season it’s clearer than ever that he is a sociopath.

    He is a serial dater and slept with a ton of women. He even said to Camden that he wished he felt something for someone. But he can’t, because sociopaths don’t feel emotions most emotions and especially not love.

    He also is “friends” with exes. Because he likes keeping harems of women for ego/narcissistic supply.

    When he said he didn’t care about Austen and his friendship, he meant it. Austen talked about his coldness and emptylook when he said it, that was a sociopathic stare.

    He is insanely jealous over Craig. Sociopaths don’t feel much but jealousy is one of the few they do.

    Drinking/partying all the time because he can’t stand the boredom. Classic sociopath. They can’t stand it and so they always up the adrenaline. Many have issues with alcohol and drugs.

    Sociopaths are handsome and charming. They feel entitled and believe they are special. This works for them when they are young. But overtime this doesn’t work. In particular because they burn out people and they age, causing them to lose their attractiveness.

          I hope Shep gets some help. He’s obviously very unhappy & will suffer severe liver damage if he doesn’t get his drinking under control. I realize the show is very scripted, but his unhappiness & drinking problem seems real. He seems to have changed a lot since the show originally began.
