UPDATED: Stevie wonder saw this coming. Reagan and Jeff have split. Reagan sold the story to People.
“Jeff and I have decided to separate and are devoting time to re-establishing a great friendship while focusing on personal growth apart,” Reagan tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We are looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for us,” said the former couple.
Countdown to the Tamica and Barry announcement in 5..4..3..2….
I can’t believe it is already the finale of this show! I was just getting used to the oppressive females and trying to find reasons to like them.
Tamica and her friends, Rachel and Susan meet for lunch with Reagan. Tamica wants to talk about Gian. She starts by saying she doesn’t dislike Gian. Through that info in the same sack has how she is not insecure and not jealous. She can’t stand the bitch, just admit it girl! Reagan thinks Gian is jealous of Tamica. Later, when Tamica talks to Barry about Gian, Barry seems to blame her for canceling her gym membership at his club. Barry also is not sticking of for Tamica sticking up for HIM. They are married. Tamica my be high-maintenance and attention seeking but Barry chose to marry and procreate with her. He needs to be on her side in the Gian conflict. Point. Blank and the period!
Kelsey and Justin move into Justin’s parents house for a few months while he gets his house renovated. Kelsey seems to be a bit nervous being stuck living with his parents when they are not even engaged. Kelsey tells Justin that every decision they make is his decision based on his life and she isn’t ever consulted about anything. He’s just not that into you, sweetie. Did you contract for an eight episode relationship?
Tamica and Susan sit down with Rani and talk to her about being the only person of color at her school. When Susan asks Rani what makes her happy. Rani cries and says being with her whole family. Tamica finally realizes she needs to prioritize her time to be sure Rani is getting quality time with her.
This gumbo meal with Reagan and Jeff seems like it was taped after the pregnancy test results. I liked reality TV better before I knew the ins and outs of it all.
It’s time for the finale all-cast event. And it ain’t a party on this show unless Tamica is causing a scene. She’s coming in hot for Gian. She’s polite to her when she arrives but lets her know she wants to have a private chat with her later. Tamica and Reagan have been talking back and forth on the phone about Reagan being late and possibly pregnant. Barry overhear the conversation and Tamica swore him to secrecy. So of course the first thing Barry does is run straight to Jeff to tell him. What a dick move. So now Jeff is all excited. Jeff goes straight to Reagan and outs Barry.
Tamica pulls Gian aside and …. APOLOGIZES! These two call a truce. Until next season. Then she drags Barry off to the bathroom where they get busy with some making out.
Then Reagan goes to crush all of Jeff’s hopes and dreams by telling him she is not pregnant. He’s disappointed and wants to start his own family.
Jon Moody does his grand finale painting on a rooftop and the painting is AMAZING. The release those Chinese lanterns out into the sky. I’m freaked out by that because you are supposed to do that over water. Letting a bunch of paper lanterns that are ON FIRE just drift about seems like a really bad idea. The party ends with everyone loving everyone. Is that the first real happy ending for one of these shows?
At the very end Kelsey tells Justin she is not going to sleep with him while they are living with his parents.
Ratings were good on this little show, so I think we will get a season two.
Ain’t got no time for no red gumbo.
Every gumbo I have ever had has been on the spectrum of slightly reddish brown to dark reddish. I would totally eat Reagan’s gumbo.
Gulf Coast girlie here, totally agree. That gumbo looked great! It’s supposed to be brownish red. Some recipes passed down have tomato and some don’t.
I was confused when he made the tomato in gumbo comment. I thought it was supposed to have a red color
I’ll be interviewing Benny Poppins soon. Please let me know if you’d like share with your fans in some way or not. He seems popular w your fans. Thx
Gumbo is NEVER red.
It should be the color of a dirty penny!
I live right outside NOLA … creole gumbo which is prevelant in the Nola area will usually have tomatoes and def more so with seafood gumbo . Cajun gumbo tends to not have it. Her gumbo looked on point to me and now I want to cook some damn it lol !!
Nope. Never. No tomato in gumbo.
Jane you are my girl. I am 100% cajun through and through. Gumbo is BROWN. It should look like a bayou. There’s noooo tomatoe involved.
Ca cest bon !!
Hi, I went to a cooking class in New Orleans when we last visited the US and they made Gumbo with tomato …….. i did learn about the holy Trinity of Creole coking – garlic, onions & peppers!
And they made Etoufee – yummy!
* Apologies, channeling T-Rav – I meant cooking, not “coking” – the was no coking in NOLA!
Checks IP to see if you are Thomas
Kidding.
LOL – no I was just on the bourbon in New Orleans. Actually I drank about 5 or 6 “3 shots for the price of 1” on Bourbon Street the first time I went and then went and queued up at Irene’s for a table on the recommendation of our lovely barmaid. This couple from New Mexico started talking to us – I was so drunk I can’t believe they did – I think the Aussie accent might have blurred the alcohol.
I hope this show gets a second season. Tamara you took the words out of my mouth about enjoying reality tv more before knowing the ins and outs. I feel like at the end Tamica accepted Gian for the storyline she will be next season, LOL.
I like the men on this show better than the women but I must say after this last season of Dorit on RHOBH, the women on this show weren’t too bad to me
I really like this cast, hope everyone is back next season. I’m interested to see what happens with all of the couples especially Justin and Kelsey
Who else knew a separation was just around the corner for Jeff & Reagan ? That French Quarter apartment sealed that deal.
There was no mention of a reunion. I guess they don’t know what to do with a cast who really do get along.
Reagan has grown on me by seasons end. She and Jeff are such a cute couple. I hope they get past this NOLA apartment thing
She’s been dating since the première.
Regarding the lanterns: Nola is surrounded by water. So no worries there.
I was so hoping Reagan was pregnant, I really was. I just really want Jeff happy and I really want Kelsey happy also., and Barry. This show could have been a shit show and it wasn’t. I am impressed by the lack of obnoxious behavior. I can’t keep up with Atlanta and Potomac and how obnoxious they behave on those 2 shows, I find it disturbing. They almost act like a terrible stereotype and I was almost afraid this would be that way also and I am so happy it isn’t. I really hope that made sense, having trouble finding words this evening, I have started 2 new meds and well ya know.
Made perfect sense to me. 🙂
They don’t usually do reunions on first seasons because they want to see how the ratings go. Even after that they usually start with a group appearance on WWHL but it is on hiatus right now. (that birthday episode tonight was taped in advance).
I didn’t think I was going to be able to tolerate Reagan or Tamica, but by the end I was hating them a lot less. lol. I couldn’t imagine any of these people not coming back for season two.
I’d like a spinoff of nothing but shirtless Jon painting and strutting about like a peacock talking about how important he is to the world. In fact, there needs to be an entire episode of arrogant Jon painting half or completely naked.
I really started off being irritated every time I saw Jon – he seemed so conceited and full of himself, both physically and professionally. Now? I think he’s incredibly talented, and he’s not hard on the eyes either. His paintings amaze me – I’d love to be able to see them in person. I wonder if he has a website?
Yes please, naked Jon would be good for me.
I’m interested in this All About Arrogance with Jon Moody.
Yes, I could just tune out all the Kaynesque babbling about his sheer genius. I’d watch it all damn day.
The men on SC NOLA are fine !! What a great group for a show.
Ya know…I was not mad at Barry’s bootie in the shower either.
I’m glad she’s not really, poor Jeff needs to find a great girl who is there for him & is ready to share a life not point out all the time of what might happen to him later. Reagan & Tamica ate a bit into themselves right now & maybe the alcohol intake needs to slow down a bit. It’s not a good look for either one.
True the Southern NOLA men, all of them with their shirts off. Oh Happy Day! I really enjoyed the cast, NOLA, the homes and the nice normal relationships.
My respect for Whitney has went way up. There is a interview with him at Bravo where he talks about the time he spent to put this cast together.
WTG Whitney.
I like Tamica, I recall her face from somewhere on tv and I liked her but not a clue where.
Tamica is on “News With a Twist” on Channel 11 (26-ABC). She is the relief co-anchor when Susan Roesgen is off. I don’t watch NWAT because I can’t stand Roesgen, I just remember reading this somewhere when the season first started.
I love Jeff, and I feel sorry for him. He is so sweet, has been through a lot, and is sensitive and whimsical – and really cute! I hope Regan loves him as much as he loves her.
I agree, he deserves to be happy after what his family has done to him. He will be an awesome dad when it does happen.
Oh, and Tamica’s daughter is the sweetest angel, God bless her.
Yes and I just want to scoop her up and snuggle her. She reminds me of my daughter when she was younger.
She’s a very pretty little girl. I hope things get easier for her.
One season was enough for me. So full of themselves. Blahblahblah
What reality show personality isn’t full of themselves? That’s why they do reality tv
Does anyone really think Tamica and her husband had sex?
If it had been 4 months I’d sure want a hell of a lot more than a bathroom quickie.
Damn right
This show really grew on me and I agree that the women improved with time . Some of their behaviors may not have, but Reagan can cook! I wouldn’t say no to seeing more of that next season.
Overall I enjoyed this show. I found both Tamica and Reagan annoying but not totally without redeeming qualities.
I hated the fact that they teased Reagan might be pregnant. As if. They never are on these shows especially when they drag it out over the entire course of the episode. And are we really supposed to believe Tamica and Barry had a 5 min quickie in the bathroom? Puh-lease.
More likely just a BJ.
I just noticed she has a Texas pendant on in the picture. So perhaps she is from Texas??!! Love it. In regards to gumbo, some recipes call for tomato and others do not. It depends on the cooking style whether Cajun or Creole. Much of my mom’s family settled in Louisiana and live in Lake Charles. We eat all gumbo regardless of coloring. Half the time we don’t even know what all is in it. I would ask my great aunt what something was and she would tell me “Don’t worry about it honey just eat it.” LOL
UPDATED POST! See Above…
POOR Jeff. Wow.
That is what I thought as well!! Poor guy! So sad! Hopefully the friends will rally around him with support.
Poor Jeff.. Mom scams his money.. wife moves to French Quarter…sans him..
Hope he gets a lot of help! Otherwise I don’t see him staying healthy.
I’m really worried about him – now he’s lost his money, his wife and the support of his family. Hope he has something else to look forward to – his friends are going to be crucial to him beating his depression. The Internet lists him as an actor/producer – is that what he’s doing now? Reagan wasn’t a good, straightforward wife, unless the editing on the show was really unfair, plus there really are two sides to every story. Maybe there’s more than meets the eye. Still, she didn’t come off looking very nice. Wishing him well.
I ended up really liking this show and I am totally bummed that the season is already over. I can’t watch the other Southern Charm shows. Hopefully this show gets a second season.
I would imagine Kelsey and Justin are broken up unless he agreed to move out of mommy’s house and get a temporary place. That set up will never ever work out for Kelsey since Justin is just a mama’s boy.
Loved Tamica’s daughter’s interview, she’s an impressive young lady.
IKR. There is no way I would have moved into my boyfriend’s parents house. I would have found my own temporary place. I do not understand why she would agree to do it.
Kelsey and Justin are together and happy. Reagan has been dating since the première.
I’m not a bit surprised to hear that Jeff and Reagan have separated. The way she treats him a lot of the time is downright cruel, plus getting her own place in the French Quarter was the beginning of the end. That whole fake pregnancy scare was handled horribly – everybody else knew before Jeff did, and then it was a negative test. What wife would do that to her husband, especially knowing that he wants a baby? She was on him like an ant in jam while he was a handsome, successful football player, but now that his looks have changed, their money has been embezzled, his career is over and he possibly has medical problems, she’s done. So much for richer and poorer, sickness and in health. I think he’s well rid of her, but this definitely isn’t going to help his depression. Hope he does well and finds someone more suited to his situation. If she can find someone who’ll overlook her whiney voice, she’ll probably do just fine.
Too bad Reagan turned out to the typical twat that chases a ball player then runs with the glamour and money runs out. Jeff should sue his parents and get his money back(though as I type this I know that would be emotionally hard to do) and find a nice replacement for Reagan.
I agree with you English Rose whole heartedly
BTW, I do hope Jeff gets some really good medical testing done to see if he really is at risk of serious health problems. He might find out that things aren’t as dire as he believes them to be. I know a lot of football players have died young, but a lot haven’t. I didn’t think Reagan encouraged him enough, unless they already know something we don’t. Hoping he’s OK, finds a much better second wife, makes some of his money back, and lives a long, healthy life. Oh, and the first step forward should be to get rid of that horribly unattractive on-its-way-to-becoming-Rasputin beard – he was so much better looking without it.
She is gas lighting him. Regan is the one that kept telling Jeff that he had a brain injury. There was no real evidence of it except he started to questin everything. He put her show together without help, he isn’t passing out. He was drunk and had Regan digging at him when he had his little episode.
If I had to live with either Tamica or Regan, I would be drunk and having lots of episodes
Man i hope Jeff gets the French quarter pay in the divorce!!! My husband called it on the first episode. Last night when she was apologizing for not being pregnant, my husband said “that’s the same whining non apology she gave him when she moved out”. Nailed it!
Exactly I’ve thought this whole season that they would be separated very soon. Even Tamica said it.
I liked the people on here, the guys moreso. But my favorite was watching places in New Orleans and the delicious food!
IMO, the pregnancy scare was staged to boost finale ratings so a second season would follow. It seemed so fake. The scream and how the other girls reacted…. I think the only person who thought it could be real was Jeff. He’s a pawn in her scheme. And all I can think about is how he signed the house over to her last year. Poor fella. I hope he comes out on top and finds someone who truly appreciates him.
I feel the same way after seeing the episode. But before seeing the episode My first thought was, “Who is the father?”
Hahaha! So glad I wasn’t along in that thought. I wondered the EXACT same thing since she was in her “pied-a-terre” for all the weeks leading up to the “scare!”
I worry for Jeff’s state of mind. He seems so convinced that CTE will kill him but he may not even have it. What his mom did to him was beyond horrible and now Reagan showing herself to be who we were always afraid she was just sucks. It was obvious he was in a dark place during filming and trying so hard to work on himself and make her happy. I hope he’s ok. He really seems like a good guy.
Reagan just finished law school so now she can make her own money. Guess she stuck this out just long enough to get Jeff to pay her tuition.
I wonder if we really got the full story on Jeff’s finances and family relationship. Jeff seemed like he was easily manipulated by Reagan and she was good at making him totally dependent on her for love and reassurance.
Has anyone read or seen a response from Jeff’s family?
I enjoyed the show. Unlike other vaguely racist Bravo shows, no one was screaming, pulling hair or acting boozhee…can’t spell it. They were an intelligent, fun loving group with normal problems.
I feel for Jeff and hope he survives all right. I just hated how Reagan kept throwing brain damage at him. Way to undermine someone. She didn’t seem evil, just self centered.
Hope the show returns.
Racist shows?
So when black women go beserk on each other on Andy’s machinations it’s racist?
That’s absurd.
Is it racist when Ramona Singer goes cross eyed bonkers or Sonya Morgan goes backdoor in St Bart’s or Jax whatever his last name is cheats on Brittany one more time….and so forth
This is TV about fairly regular folks acting bad.
Racist only if the folks portrayed are doing it themselves
Is it racist for me to think these attractive well spoken less Ebonics prone black people are actually fairly endearing and raised right by someone on this show?
I liked their portrayals ….I don’t like the other two black Andy Cohen shows cause they act like loud boors
Worst character on this show is that little blonde shrew….am I a self hating white racist now?
That’s my area of the Deep South btw….I grew up two hours north and New Orleans is my favorite American city warts and all despite eight years in Manhattan and four in Miami and now 20 in Nashville area
I don’t see race in these black people on this show except maybe the artist lad…but he’s endearing too in a full of hisself way
That’s what I like about it
Unlike some he consensus here I doubt it’s renewed ….viewership is too low
Sorry
it was so clear she wanted out. She was really annoyingly blatant about it. Poor Jeff. Loved this show!!
Did everyone hear the news. Despite my hopes for Regan and Jeff, they have seperated according to Bravo. Dammit, I like Jeff, I wonder what will happen?
I just saw the news at the top of the blog entry. Oops
I have to admit despite her perky cuteness I do not like this Reagan gal much…if she’s so damned proud to be such old school New Orleans from the 1700s blood why in the Sam Hill does she speak with that daft valley girl accent.
Is she ashamed to be southern? Tamika sure as hell isnt and has a lovely southern accent..as do some of their friends. Reagan should have a New Orleans sub dialect Southern Accent which can even be a micro dialect to Uptown or Algiers or north shore or Gretna or Lakeshore or St Bernards or Norco….whatever New Orleans area has a lot of sub accents but Valley Girl ain’t one. Stassi Schroeder does this trick too except when off Camera she slips into an almost Mississippi accent. God love Britttany at least she has the stones to be proud of where she is from
My wife got teary eyed watching the pain that little self absorbed tart was putting on a big strong handsome man who obviously adored her.
It was hard to watch…..the fair weather b-word wife stench is strong in her
And those tweets today….embarrassing

People — women in particular— should be free to re-evaluate their marriages and/or lives without fear of being chastised, generalized, name-called, marginalized, or degraded. Peri
Man…the real concept of marriage is lost on her selfish little butt
Jeff there are tons of more deserving fine prettier sweet loving kind loyal supportive women out there….dive back in…the only cure is the hair of the dog that but you and quick….do not grovel and plead….it just makes it worse
Wifey and I knew from jump street you were gonna get the short end of the stick….you come across as a good man ….there are women who crave men like you….God love ya buddy
