Perhaps Shep could be Kim Biermann’s next rich husband/sugar daddy. He apparently washes his red solo cups in the dishwasher. I’m not sure he wants to live in a shoe with an old woman who has so many kids she doesn’t know what to do, but I am also not sure how much longer Kroy wants to be her Uber driver either. And someone has to bring in some money. While Brielle keeps trying to get on the yacht circuit, ALLEGEDLY, so far that plan is not working so well.
Cameran is just about ready to pop. She is unsure if newborns need bibs. She’s off to her last OBGYN appointment before giving birth and she may already be having contractions. Just like I said about the chick who had a two month old with no name, I feel like Cameran should have really skimmed through What To Expect When You’re Expecting prior to backing her hospital go bag. But none of this ever really appealed to me, though if I had married and had a husband who wanted kids, I would have had one. Maybe. If I could not convince him to adopt. I think I would have enjoyed being a mother. But childbirth? Not on my bucket list.
Kathryn is dealing with the body of someone who gave birth twice young. Which means she still looks great but is dealing with a new body shape. Kathryn seems to have Thomas all figured out.
Craig and Austen go jogging and they talk about Austen dating Victoria, Chelsea’s friend. He realized he still had feeling for Chelsea and stopped seeing her but now he is not so sure. Now he feels he is more compatible with Victoria. Craig says he just wants to date a girl that doesn’t treat him like shit.
Time for Naomie scenes with her gay roommate. Now she is “dating” a guy I don’t think she is dating. He’s a hot doctor and I know a few people in Charleston and…in Miami who seem to think “dating” is a strong word for what is happening there. Naomie tends to like men who are very in touch with their feminine side. Perhaps that is why she says she hasn’t had sex in a long time? Allegedly. In my opinion based on what I see on social media and hear through the grapevine. NTTAWWT. I love gay men more than straight men myself. It’s so much less complicated. And they are way nicer to me.
Again, Shep is in Mount Pleasant at his rental property pretending he is on IOP. I do not fault him for having “mailbox money.” I am ALL FOR Shep living life, getting drunk, having lots of sex and traveling the world while he has a passive income on top of Southern Charm. Oh I found out how much they make on Southern Charm and was a bit surprised. The originals pull in only in the low 200K for the season. I say ONLY because I am used to RHOA salaries and Sheree made double that on RHOA. Cameran is the highest paid on Southern Charm. Boy, I am full of exclusive tea tonight. I’ve had a few glasses of wine and am trying to make up for my lack of humor tonight with blind item reveals and inside information.
Oh Lord. Speaking of inside information. I’ve been hearing things about the yankee carpetbagger and they are all good. Like, I might have to stop hating her good. Jesus take the wheel! But at this point in time, she is still on the wrong side and is trying to help the yacht girl land her man. I really don’t understand why because someone she is close to her has already told her at this point that there is something very creepy about Thomas. I haven’t discussed this yet. Did I do a blind about this already? I don’t remember. If the saying “You can’t make a whore into a housewife” is true then saying you can’t make a west coast aging polo girl into a southern belle is also true. But Patti though Landon was housewife worthy so… I get it. Age does a number on the mental faculties. Who puts a Chanel bag under their armpit? Look I am so not into fashion at all at my age, but even I know that is not done. Patti who always tells us she only has one martini a night is sucking down the free champagne like a hillbilly who got invited to the Met Gala.
Then Ashley admits she feels like Pretty Woman. And she should but no one is going to buy her these clothes at the end. and the sequined number she come out with at the end is the most ill-fitting garment of them all. THIS IS WHY THIS SHOW NEEDS K. COOPER RAY. This is literally his life’s work. Also he wrote a really great book called Last Night at Moomba that I highly recommend. He’s had an extraordinary life. Sorry not sorry, I love my Cooper.
Is Ashley wearing a wig or is that a lot of extensions. IDGI. It looks like a hair hat to me. Again, I’m not the glam type. Even when I was young, I wasn’t into all the labels and shit though I did like by Ralph Lauren shirts from the boy’s department in high school. That was literally the last time I was into any sort of label. Patti revives my hatred by saying she could have been married 20 times and only got married 3 times. Um I could have been married at least a dozen times and chose to get married none. It’s true I have trust issues. But marriage is also a financial contract and I… I just could not pull the trigger. Lordy, I am oversharing tonight. Apparently, it was Patti/Production who told Ashley to get her nursing license in SC. Patti claims she is currently engaged after four months to the next old geezer. I mean time is of the essence in her case and perhaps in Ashley’s too. But I can’t believe I am watching this knowing what we all know about Thomas know and what Patti DEFINATELY new then because well… I may or may not have done a blind on that I honestly do not remember.
I am running off at the mouth way too much tonight about me and about these folks. I’m going to try to keep it shorter.
Chelsea and Shep want to take everyone to Hilton Head. While neither of them are from Charleston, I can give those from Hilton Head a pass. Though I must say neither of them pronounce Hilton Head like most southerns I know. It’s Hilton HAYed.
Thomas literally comes stumbling INTO the bar to meet Shep and Whitney. I really have no hatred for Whitney anymore. It’s weird. Drunk Thomas is late because he was on the phone talking to Nikki, some “friend of Ashley’s.” Probably a mutual friend of his friend Bilo. Allegedly. Thomas says he hooks up with Kathryn about once a year. That happens at the reunions.
Kathyrn gets a job at Gwynn’s. Shocking promotional product placement.
Austen has a date with Victoria and I don’t care because I am SOFA KING BEHIND ON THIS RECAP.
Patti has way too many scenes. It’s another “all male dinner.” That is not something as southern woman does. And it is not party etiquette either and didn’t she publish a book that even the dollar store won’t buy out about that?
Almost immediately Thomas starts trashing Ashley. He wants to party all night and she wants to go home. He is still pretending they live together, they do not. He rents her a flop house around the way. I heard from a reliable source it is an actual house he either bought or rented I forget which, but on the show they make it seem like it is an apartment in Kathryn’s complex. When I tell you this whole area is NOT WHERE CHARLESTONIANS LIVE. I feel like this is all a promotion for Thomas’s rental properties. There is absolutely no way he lives in the swamp land full time. I would not move there and I live in the goddamn ghetto. I lived on the swamp in Savannah in my twenties and it was great for parties, but the bugs are awful and as pretty as the swamp is actually, it not a place I would live as an adult. Though skinnydipping parties in the pool were a lot of fun.
Anyway, sorry. The newness has already worn off Thomas’ last kept woman. Should I even bother with allegedly? Craig and his boyfriend roommate Shaun wants to get a dog but he doesn’t want to go through all of that in the breakup. He lost Gizmo with whatshername. The relationship with Naomie was a real thing. Everyone is not one thing or another. In true southern style, Patti serves a vegan dinner. UGH.
Patti actually makes a good point. Women are giving away the milk so men are not buying a cow. To use a VERY derogatory expression. God we already have points of agreement. Thus it was necessary to insert the dog muumuu thing to remind me.
Thomas gets Kathryn and Ashley mixed up.
In the final scene Thomas and Kathryn get together to talk and it is very clear that Thomas wants Kathryn back. Kathryn seems to still be connected to Thomas. She is hurt that Thomas posted what appears to be a family photo with Ashley. They plan a birthday party for Saint. Thomas wants to bring Ashley but Kathryn says no. Drunk Thomas acts like he wants to be with Kathryn. Kathryn says she has no interest in getting back together.
Cameran is still waiting on the baby to decide to appear.
Next week: Naomie tempts Craig with Gizmo. Ashley tries to give an ultimatum to Thomas about being excluded from Saint’s birthday party. Because. cunt move. The gang goes to Hilton Head and Austen has to tell Chelsea he is with Victoria. Kathryn lays down the law for the polo bitch.DID SHE JUST SAY SHE SEES THE CHILDREN MORE THAN KATHRYN SEES THEM? Oh this bitch is going down. ON TV, AND IN REAL LIFE. Stupid cunt.
“Sucking down free champagne like a hillbilly who got invited to the met gala” omg lmao I laughed the whole time reading this! I’m starting to like Patricia too , and my feelings are the same as yours. Hopefully Ashley will be gone soon, but the way it’s looking Thomas prob won’t be back next season. So Ashley will disappear with him.
Agree! That was a hysterically funny comment! And re Patti, I feel awful for saying this, and I guess it is not right, but I do not think I can ever like her after the way she treated Kathryn. It seems to me that Patti is all about Ego and those dumb men fall for it. And, yes, imo, Ashley acts like a “brazen hussy”!
Patricia and Kathryn are on good terms right now. Not sure what transpired to make that happen, but they are liking each other’s SM posts.
Patti & KD need to join forces. Now that Patti has seen the TRav unravel & her good friend can attest at it- how KD subpoenas LO for family court- she heard TRav say he wished KD would overdose- meaning to me he’s trying to still gaslight KD. Grew up in the South & Southern women can be the sneakiest of all- self included.
Oh, down with Landon II (aka Ashley)! She might be skinny and fit into those dresses but she is still NQOC. Generally speaking, in such lovely shopping venues, one has a model near one’s size who tries on the dresses to display how they’d “wear.”
Maybe I’ve just been living in the hinterlands for too long, but that Patti had AshLass try the dresses on herself was a bit gauche.
Huh??
Really? Mercy. Next time I need overalls I will bring a model to the Farm and Home.
Are we to believe that while Patricia was befriending Ashley, pushing for her to get a ring on it and teach her to dress more like a lady (look like Kathryn) for Thomas shewas actually stabbing Ashley in the back with her saber named Luzanne? It makes no sense to me. Something must have happened. I am reading that Patricia did know of the allegations agaist Thomas. Timelines confuse me. Did Patricia know during filming.
I cracked up when the preview trailer showed Dani said “girl you better slow your roll” dani is a true Southern Belle. I’ll bet Ashley knew exactly what she meant.
Yes, confusing. And who knows what she knew. But she obviously tried to give Ashley a chance well after the middle of 2017 when her friend Luzanne was supposed to have gone out with Thomas briefly. The accusations about Pat attacking Ashley after her friend’s relationship with Thomas crashed – that Ashley and Thomas expect us to believe – do not stack up.
I’ve been biting my tongue until it BLEEDS over this whole Luzanne situation. YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. I am not at liberty to say yet. However, there is a site out there filling your heads with bullshit. And attacking sites maliciously who try to put out the truth.
I know the truth. And it is KILLING ME not to post about it. There is on the record and there is off the record and I am TRYING to respect a previously offered exclusive that I wish to hell would get posted soon.
The good news is I can still work an angle to make Patti look like shit.
Thanks TT!! The whole Luzanne issue is simply bizarre to me as an outsider. Can’t wait for the exclusive you say is coming!! So much drama this year off the show itself!!
Fascinating to see what Luzanne Otte is now saying publicly about her brief fling with Thomas Ravenel and how she appears to have had to escape to Patricia’s home for the night after Thomas flipped out on her on her last evening of a week visiting him and Patricia in Charleston from L.A. Then mention of the merciless cyber-bullying of Luzanne over a number of months by Ashley and Thomas. (I certainly noticed it on social media and on a pro-Ravenel site I do not need to name.)
My issues around this are:
1 If Patricia knew about the evening Luzanne was badly bullied by Thomas – to the extent she had to come and spend the night at Patricia’s home – why did Patricia keep up the facade of being a friend of Thomas’s and take Ashley shopping, etc? (Until Pat herself became a target of the cyberbullying.) Was Bravo involved in Pat’s continued support of Ravenel?
2 Somewhere here there is a serious and destructive mental health issue – and the weight of evidence from people coming forward recently seems to point to Thomas and Ashley needing mental health oversight and not being people who should be entrusted with the care of vulnerable toddlers, or even of vulnerable palliative care people, in their own homes, away from much professional oversight of a home help nurse.
3 At what point would child welfare services decide they needed to get involved?
But can this be believed? I read the interview. Then some others closer to the situation have been commenting to make me believe that what Luzanne said was NOT the whole story.
Middle school craziness.
Kathy, the whole thing is crazy. But if the truth leans more toward Ms.Otte and the other two alleged victims, then the confusion I have regarding Mr.Ravenel clears up any grey areas for me. Frankly, I believe her and the other women. I saw the texts Ms.Otte sent to him, and there was nothing creepy or sinister about them. In fact, just the opposite. If she’s not a true Harvard graduate, it will be discovered. In any event, there are three women out there who have been put through the ringer and no telling how many more have a story but are too afraid to reveal it. Even his current girlfriend is showing the stress of the situation!
Hahahaha! This South Carolinian never realized I pronounced it Hilton Hayed until you said that! It is so true!
Patty is still trash. She stole the Fleming family’s Pocohontas artifacts and Whitney tried to pass them off as his own family’s things in the first season.
Gwynns! Prom and St. Celilia!
Well in other things I am not to speak about. Patti did somehow get them in the divorce. HOWEVER she does push them as HER family heirlooms while THE ACTUAL DESCENDANTS were robbed. Allegedly. Basically she stole them fair and square and the family is heartbroken. ALLEGEDLY. So mama joyces streets say.
This recap was a must read !! Excellent tonight thanks so much I smiled through reading most of it well a shit eating grin hehehehehe.
Well I was rooting for Austen and Chelsea I wonder if she will regret letting him go. He just wants to live off the money he makes on this show and party can not blame her for taking a Pass.
WoW the tea about what they make does not surprise me. I agree about the polo girl Ashley that bitch is way overstepping her actual place in Katheryn’s children’s lives.
Funny she believes she has/ is in control of Thomas Blahahahaha
She is 1 of those girls who values herself as irreplaceable. I do not think it was a wig bedhead she just got dressed to shop after getting outta bed. oh and forgot to brush her hair.
Katheryn legit looks like she could harm that girl WoW what nerve Ashley has !!!
I think it’s Charlest humidity and she hadn’t gotten a handle on it at that time.
Back during Halloween, I saw this photo on Thomas’s Instagram. Some gal left a scathing remark, really chewed him out. It wasn’t left up very long. I remember thinking how insensitive he was for posting it.
In terms of Ashley, she is really STUPID! I mean, think about it, here’s a woman who had all this access to prior shows to observe Thomas’s personality and still tries to be in charge of the relationship. Anyone with a lick of sense would know just by viewing past shows, Thomas doesn’t like being bossed around or backed in a corner. I also noticed that during Patricia’s dinner, he had that crazed look on his face. That same one he had back when he threw that dinner party and all the guests (except Kathryn, J.D., & Elizabeth) left. Anyway, he gives me the creeps! I hope Bravo doesn’t try to renew his contract for next year.
Don’t worry because, how did he put it? “I have all the power, I have all the money.” Self-serving sanctimonious, morally bankrupt son. Literally wanted to vomit.
Son of a bitch-sorry mom
Yes I felt he looked very odd and said a few very creepy things. E. G. That (unmarried) women in their 30s should be sent to the spinster farm (watch out Ashley – the clock is ticking). Also that men should be able to have as many wives as they could afford (slave days are over, dammit). Then I noticed the other men’s universal mirth when Thomas read out his fortune cookie words: “Every exit is an entrance”. He really is a piece of work. I note the new photo Ashley has posted of him on her Insta he looks like chewed over dog tucker.
Ashley herself is over 30.
Yes very much on borrowed time. In recent photos look G at least 10 years older too.
looking
I mean Ashley is on borrowed time in a relationship with a man like Thomas.
I now see what this show has done for me is to make me so very grateful I was only average looking in my 20s so I never attracted a Thomas type guy who was only after a certain standard of looks and youth. Guys like Thomas are a real hazard for beautiful young women.
Men like Ravenel are not looking (necesarily) for looks. They are looking for vulnerable. If you act and believe that you are a good person who does not put up with BS, his type runs. Never think your looks attract a man. The great men like something deeper.
I think Ashley has curly/course/wavy hair and the humidity hates her. That’s my guess anyways. I cannot stand her, just seeing her trying to watch Kathryn’s reaction when smashing face with Thomas is pathetic. And it’s so damn obvious that he wants Kathryn back, he is so nasty. I cannot wait for all the tea to spill about Thomas, I dispose him. Every time I see him thinking he is a stud I just don’t get it, I really don’t.
Ha! I wish you could dispose (of) him!! Appropriate typo!
I cannot wait for next week my heart broke when she said she saw the kids more than Kathryn does, and in that moment I saw Kathryn as a mother of dragons ripping her throat out and breathing fire over all of everything to Kingdom Come.
I don’t know if it was the wine but this episode really got to me specially seeing the dinner with Trav & the guys and Patti
Then his dinner with Kathryn the way she put him in his place about that picture of the kids and the polo girl.that scene where it showed him with his hands curled under his chin like a naughty boy shamed knowing what he did was wrong, I’m glad she told him she didn’t want to get back with him.
keep going you got this, angels will guide you Godspeed.
Kathryn as Khaleesi? That is perfect!
I felt terrible for Kathryn. That was insensitive and cruel. This is the first year Kathryn has control over Saint’s Birthday, as opposed to last year when she was an invited guest to her son’s party. I wouldn’t want Thomas’ girlfriend either, unless they were engaged or in a definable relationship. He’s bummed because he can’t date other girls because of Ashley? Cooper said it best in his vlog that Kathryn is very socially awkward unless she’s one on one or altered. Seeing her dealing with her social anxiety is wonderful. She has wonderful style and is a natural stylist. She is finding confidence without drugs and alcohol. I really do adore her.
Also, at the time of Saint’s party Ashley had only been in town a month or so. She was dreaming! But she has sure showed us her controlling ways, exactly as Thomas had mentioned at the dinner party. Imagine getting into fights about going to someone else’s 2 year old’s party??!!
^^^ This! Yes, Karebear!
On Ashley’s Instagram, there is a picture of her and Thomas from the night they met. It says something about Happy Anniversary from the night we met. Landon comments about meeting her the next night. Wasn’t the story that he met her though Landon? How could she meet her the next night if she’s the one who introduced them?
Okay, Patricia in her caftan/kimono reminded me of Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Just saying. The hands and nails too.
Omg Tuthgal! That is hysterical! And a little chilling! Now I can’t get that image out of my mind! There IS something very Dracule about her gentlemen-only dinner parties, talk of “closing” in on males who are willingly taken to the altar in some kind of entrancement, and her Igor (I mean Michael) butler/manservant.
Sure is! But amazing how she gets them (Thomas especially) to divulge stuff in that all male setting!
The kimono looked very OTT. As it happens I was given a royal blue background lined silk one almost the same but have never worn it. I was going to take the hem up one day to have breakfast in it out on the porch. Had no idea the thing was for them to trail out the back on the floor – obviously designed for geishas who did were not working around the house.
I loved that kimono, I thought it was gorgeous
I would have liked it better displayed on a wall, as I have seen them sometimes. The silk patterns will be gorgeous close up. But those big authentic kimonos are a bit bulky to wear comfortably.
Ashley said she saw Thomas across a bar and crooked her finger, beckoning him to come over to her. The spider was reeling in the fly. I think Patricia was being very sly when she told Ashley to lay down an ultimatum for Thomas. Marry me or else. Oh, yea! That’ll go over really well and Patricia knows it. I don’t think she was ever crazy about Ashley – Ashley’s tacky behavior and general demeanor wouldn’t have measured up to what Patricia would expect for their social group. She’s acting as though she’s helping, but she’s actually perpetrating very clever sabotage. Sabotage away, Patricia!
Can’t wait for next week when Kathryn goes off on Ashley. I loved how Kathryn’s friend told Ashley to “know her role”. Knowing her role is something Ashley doesn’t have a clue about. Manipulation, scheming, overstepping boundaries? She’s very good at those. If she and Thomas really are breaking up, I hope it airs next season – it will be very entertaining and long overdue.
Thanks for the great recap, Tamara. You don’t miss a thing.
Patricia is the best reality show participant ever. Yes, she’s pushing that marriage. Lol. And she made sure they selected expensive clothes at that shop and sent Thomas the bill. That was perfect.
@Chloe: I took it as the opposite. If you have to give a man an ultimatum to marry you, the relationship is done and Pat knows that. Pat is just playing a role for screen time and knows he won’t marry her.
Kathryn handled herself well with Thomas.
This!
Danni said to “slow your roll” and not “Know your role”.
She told her to “slow her roll” not exactly the same as “knowing her role” which is fucking classist and rude.
“Slow your roll” on the other hand, is egalitarian and polite, and warning to stop before you get knocked the fuck out.
Is anyone going to discuss Naomi’s talking head???
I was thinking the same thing!!
How about Ashley’s bobblehead bobbing up and down while she was shopping with Patricia LOL
When Patricia was talking to Ashley Ashley’s head kept bobbing up and down.
Ashley – any woman who threatens a mother- well apparently Ash has gone thru TRav’s electronics & desk & office etc. God only knows what TRav has let Ash read in his custody case.. Now that Bilo chashregister is blackmailing TRav w sextape. Karma. The two belong together on the dock. Dock NOT on the water..
She looked like a completely different person! I hope ot was just the lighting/makeup and the new nose isn’t that much of a difference.
Whew! Just sitting here trying to process all the sweet tea that was poured. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!
I was just about to post the same thing! It was chock full of Blind Items and tea spilling!! I’m still trying to process it all! Craig’s boyfriend/roommate? Hmm…
Thanks TT!
I couldn’t wait for this recap My two cents:
1) Chelsea is the BEST and her cute as heck dog…LOVE
2) K is so statuesque! She is towering over the trainer in that scene. A real beauty.
3) ASS-ley is a CUNT! C. U. N. T.
4) Thomas is pathetic
1 ~ AGREE
2 ~ Agree
3 ~ AGREE!!
4 ~ Couldn’t agree more!!
You forgot Classless ASS-ley looks more and more rode hard and hung up wet with every episode.
Please Please Please let Thomas go to JAIL.
I feel like if I were Katherine, I would want to take those kids and disappear.
I honestly don’t know how anyone can be around him, he is so disgusting.
Not for all the money in the entire world.
I hate Patricia’s face.
Wow, I thought they made more than that for a season!
I find Austin to be boring, unambitious and not very attractive. What the hell does that girl see in him? (TV?)
Ashley’s hair was AWFUL!!
Do you think they scrip lines like “I see your kids more than you do”?
Boring as all get out that Austen.
I wondering about that too….hey ASSley, to keep your spot, please be as antagonistic as possible towards K. Mmmmkay?
Because other times she doesn’t seem like a nasty person really….
I’m not a fan of hers, but it just seems strange when she says lines like that….I guess we’ll have to see next week.
I have always been so intrigued with Cameran’s standing on the show. It was clear she held out at the beginning and got the kind of portrayal that she wanted. We don’t see too much negative about Cameran (altho we have seen her mean girl side). She was able to quietly marry a really nice guy who seems to be extremely patient with this reality show gig of hers. All the men are in love with her and she is the highest paid. Forget having a Charleston bloodline — this little upcountry chick has outsmarted them all it seems to me!
She was on the Real World a looooong time ago. Maybe that experience prepared her for this reality show. She knew what to ask for and how to get it. Plus, IMO, she was the big PR draw when the show launched. Possibly even a key factor in getting the show sold in the first place. Lots of power in that for her. Plus, I love her! She and Chelsea are the best.
She really is in the catbird’s seat on this show. And she really is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. But I’m tired of hearing about her pregnancy/decision to stop breast feeding/mom probs. We’ve all been there. We get it. And most of us have done it without the big salary she gets. Sounds like she’s whining in my opinion.
I just lurked Ashley’s Instagram and she has lost a considerable amount of weight since the filming of this season. Like A LOT. Wonder what’s going on with her. The Austen/Victoria thing is a total snooze fest. Tonight’s episode made my skin crawl, knowing what I now know about TRav. All those dudes and Pat sitting around, guffawing with each other while they all know about the *ALLEGED* skeletons in each other’s closets. Gross. Ashley really does need to be put in her place. You will and SHOULD forever come second in this blended family where children are involved…especially when you aren’t even part of the family!!! Slow your roll, honey. Slow your roll.
This show is one of my favorites because the women are all so attractive and smart. None of the men are.
Craig is the only male with good looks. Trav and Whitney, way too old and burned out. Shep, just a lazy
mess, ladies stay away from him. Austin, has nothing to recommend him, he’s not good looking, he’s lazy and broke, and not a lot of fun. JT is just a creep and a phony.
I sure hope Kathryn doesn’t fall for Trav’s line, he’s also a creep and really shady. How close to 60 is he?
Why would any self-respecting woman want to get near him, let alone go to bed with him. Patti is right, way
too much free and easy sex, women better start waking up. If you are hankering for the dream of marriage and kids, you are sabotageing yourselves.
This is total bs. Why put unsubstantiated crap out there- such as Austen is broke. You absolutely don’t know that. I have no clue, but if I was a betting person, I’d bet a ton of moola on the opposite.
I grew up on Hilton Head, went to the same school as Shep. Only people from myrtle beach pronounce it Hilton Hayed! There are too many northerners on the island to develop real southern accents in many cases.
Yep, I’m from Myrtle Beach (Murrells Inlet) and that’s how I pronounce it. Lots of Yankees on HH Island.
It’s not just Myrtle Beach. It’s southerners. Most people on HH now are not southerners.
I’m curious if you’ve come across this interview Kathryn gave and what your take is. Nothing exclusive or particularly juicy, but some decent insights there. Can I send you the source?

I was disappointed that Patricia didn’t go to Gwynn’ s in a polyester canine kaftan.
200K per season seems like plenty of money to me. For what? A couple of months work? Not a bad gig. All you have to do is agree to make a fool of yourself on national TV.
TT – long time fan – first time poster. My brother moved to Daniel Island in 2010 and I LOVE it! He backs to the marsh (swamp) and the bugs are surprisingly not so bad! He has had meaningful conversations with Whitney (really liked him) and last Thursday was at Hometeam with Shep who was there and closed the place down (shocker). Love all your inside scoop on this show. I am going to visit at the end of June and will report back!
Agree with others about TR grossness. He is so hard to watch. What caused me more anxiety was watching the previews of Ashley and Kathryn having words. How painful to lose custody of your kids to TR, but to have that pushy gold digger trying to take her place.
I agree, I struggled watching all the scenes w/Trav but forced myself. Honestly I pray for Kathryn. I was in my 30’s, struggled to manage the hurt and rejection after 10 years of marriage and one child. There was alot of back and forth until I was able to physically move far away with my daughter. I know now how lucky I am that he didn’t care that we moved. I kept every visitation promise up on my dime, still upsetting to this day at times but my daughter and I got a new life.
Kipper, I am so sorry for all you had to go through and so happy that you and your daughter got a new life. You sound like a “mama bear” and you always express such empathy for Kathryn, which is so kind, as is your praying for her. Thank you so much for sharing your story, feelings and insights. This helps everyone to understand. God bless.
I appreciate your understanding, thank you!
I am really loving Kathryn. I mean I always had a soft spot for her and tended to side with her in earlier seasons, but I love how much she has matured.
What I am loving the most is no matter how she may feel about TRav, and it’s obvious that they share a connection as gross as it may be, that they are toxic together. And now, by not allowing him to manipulate her into a meltdown, she has gained an advantage. She doesn’t have to constantly defend herself or explain how he is manipulative anymore. It’s like it finally clicked for her that he will show his manipulative tendencies to the world without any input or reactions from her. It’s a very good look and I hope she can stay strong and not engage. Because the less she engages with his toxic behavior, the more he shows just how awful he is.
Wise words you wrote
Truth cannon
Tamara, why can’t you accept that Shep’s butt ugly busted house is on IOP? I am going to walk by and take a pic. It is on the busy part of palm blvd that is closer to the intercostal than the beach. Stop trying to say it is in Mt. Pleasant!!!
Shep really bugs me when he calls. his house a beach house. It is at least a 10 minute walk to sand. He is a dried up fat old wannabe. You should not be allowed to use the words beach house unless it touches the beach.
Because Shep’s Beach House on ON THE FUCKING BEACH. And IOP has refused to allow him to to film on IOP. This is a rental property that is in fact not on IOP, and if you send me some sort of documentation that it is within IOP jurisdiction, I’d love to let the board know because Shep is kind of a cunt AND IS NOT ALLOWED TO FILM ON IOP.

So please give me a photo so I can report him for violating his contract. He has a BEAUTIFUL beach front house but films a the Mount Pleasant rental BECAUSE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR HIM TO FILM ON IOP. I suppose it could be some inland IOP crappy rental property. BUT THAT IS NOT WHERE SHEP LIVES. Because IOP DOES NOT WANT HIM THERE.
Now sit your ass down and shut the fuck up.
I can see in the way Kathryn can now navigate a difficult conversation with Thomas what might be called souther charm. She is taking him with her and not directly laying down demands as Ashley seems to do to people when she wants something. Demands would outrage a guy like Thomas, used to more oblique requests from women and also feeling he is powerful and rich as well. I also love Danni’s “Slow your roll” as against “Shut up” I saw Ashley use on the promo clips at the beginning of the season.
Mackie, I wonder if it was wise for Kathryn to reveal during her confessional, that she has figured out how to manipulate Thomas? Although it makes for great tv, it might have been smarter to keep that info to herself!
Yes, I would not have put it quite like that either. It does jar. She probably meant how to manage/navigate conversations etc with him. But there has been a lot of manipulation all round in their relationship in the past, he manipulating even more than she did, and maybe she and others used that term a lot in her rehab counselling sessions, or something.
Loved this post. One of your best and funniest.
I did learn something from the episode I had forgotten about manners. Maybe it was the edit but it seemed Craig and Austen should have greeted Patricia first. It’s just respectful. The world could use more southern manners drilled into our children.
Y’all forget how manipulative Kathyrn appears to be. She is great when she wants to be but she spends the majority of her time being very negative.
I think we all forget their are children in the middle of that toxic relationship. Whitney has done those children no favor exploiting and exacerbating both parents bad behavior.
Kathryn has been battling to survive and keep her access to the children with the odds stacked against her.
Thomas has chosen to stress her to the max with stuff like on-camera introduction to Ashley, etc.
I don’t see Kathryn as manipulative at this stage. I see she has developed amazing coping skills in the circumstances.
The more we read of various women making extremely serious abuse allegations against Thomas, and the more we see of an aggressively pushy Ashley Jacobs, the more I admire Kathryn’s new coping skills.
KD now has video of what Ashly did to her & TRav’s drunken behavior on tape- Ashely -any woman who threatens a mother- well apparently Ash has gone thru TRav’s electronics & desk & office etc. God only knows what TRav has let Ash read in his custody case.. Now that Bilo chashregister is blackmailing TRav w sextape. Karma. The two belong together on the dock. Dock NOT on the water..
TRav is a convicted drug felon. Is it just me or when TRav goes trance like you can see it. He’s got a pain pill alcohol issue I’ve read in past that precedes his attacks on women. Verbal & now sexual. He gaslighted not only KD by America & she lost her kids. Happy to see she’s wised up to TRav’s games but most disturbing is hearing the way he slanders the mother of his children. LO Ashley & TRav’s attacks on her in SM are frightening. She said TRav wished KD will fail & drug test or better still overdose. WTF? The courts didn’t see that side of Daddy Dearest. Men like TRav belong in JAIL. He’s trying to control KD & she has to pay HIM $100 of child support? Talk about equality…
So glad to see KD come out wiser & sober & being a great mom to her kids. She knows now what that love is.
Bilo Smashly has to go. She’s more dangerous to the children… Gawd
