We begin with two really ridiculous scenes. The first is Craig trying to cut cloth for his pillowcases with one hand in his partially demolished house. The second is Shep and Cameron trying to make meatballs. Neither mission was accomplished, and please don’t show me Shep’s pimply ass crack ever again. The more I hear about Shep the more I despise him. Cameran’s friendship with him also makes her suspect. Ditto Kathryn. Speaking of Kathryn, Shep asks Cameran if he should just marry Kathryn. The answer to that is no.
Thomas goes to seek the wisdom of Patricia in her drawing room decorated in an explosion of chintz. They both have rosé. Isn’t it winter time? Thomas has recently fallen off the horse playing polo. This along with pressure from his dad has him ready to give up polo. They talk about the polo girl and Thomas says that she needs to get a job. Patricia hinting to Thomas that she is a gold digger and out right saying it to us. It takes one to know one.
Shep and Kathryn meet at the pier for corn dogs. Eating on the pier is not a really great idea. They birds are very aggressive when you have food. Kathryn is pretty irritated that people thought she had relapsed. Kathryn cries. Kathryn is apprehensive about going to the polo match at Brooklyn for Thomas’ last game because Brooklyn has so many bad memories for her. Living there with baby Kensie was an isolating and lonely experience and the beginning of her depression. This will be a trigger for her.
Chelsea and Austen meet for a date that is not a date at an oyster bar. He tells Chelsea about their breakup. Online Austen said it was much worse than what he said on camera. She allegedly came to his place and threw a rock through a window. Chelsea says she is not looking to date anyone else. This makes Austen feel less rejected. They consider going to the winter ball together.
Naomie and Chelsea go shopping for outfits for the polo match, at a tourist shop. Craig could sell his pillows there if he just put Charleston, Folly Beach, Mount Pleasant or Isle of Palms on them. It is not a place where locals would shop for clothing.
The soon to be ex polo player and his soon (but not soon enough) to be ex polo girl are taking an awkward ride to Edisto Island. Thomas continues to trash talk the polo chick in his talking heads. Thomas is of course in his usual white jeans. In winter. He sits with Ashley in the stables and tries to dump her. He outright says he is tired of being her sugar daddy. She needs to get a job. Ashley doesn’t want to get a job. She didn’t even apply for her nursing license until spring. Thomas says maybe they should just call it quits. Because, you know, filming season is over and he no longer needs girlfriend for the show.
You can stay at Brooklyn Plantation for just over $800 a night, which would be reasonable if you went with a group of friends. It really is beautiful and the beach was unspoiled and not very crowded the last time I was there, but that was back in college when one of my girlfriends family had rented a beach house for a couple weeks. That was a great trip though.
Kathryn has an emerald green coat that is to die for that she wears to the polo match. I have a feeling Gwynn’s loaned her the majority of her clothing this season.
I always thought that it was fitting that Thomas polo number is “number 2.” Why in the name of all that is holy is Shep chastising Craig for not wearing an undershirt? As if Craig knows how to dress. Kathryn is going to the winter ball with Shep.
I don’t even remember where the polo field is anymore around here. It used to be over by the Atlanta County Club. I should go to a match one of these days. My Pretty Woman days of dressing up to go or over but it is a nice way to pass the afternoon. These horses in this match just seem VERY expensive. Even just renting them can cost thousands of dollars.
Shep is stuck talking to Ashley. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Then Ashley asks Shep if he would date her if she broke up with Thomas. Shep is gobsmacked. JD shows up and heads straight for Ashley. Count down until Ashley asks JD to date her. Ashley tells JD that every time she talks to Thomas’ father he says, “You’re still here?” I think everyone asks themselves that at this point. GO HOME.
Kathryn and Danni show up and she goes straight to Thomas to say hello and thank him for the invitation. She is really uncomfortable being at the plantation though. She is flooded with memories from that time.
Chelsea tries to get Craig to take Naomie to the dance. He hems and haws and avoids the situation because he already has a date.
Brooklyn wins the match and it’s time for oysters, gumbo and cocktails. Kathryn is holding up well. She is at peace with things not working out with Thomas. I don’t care for raw oyster but I love them fried or roasted.
Craig tells Thomas that Ashley told him that if only he was a few years older she would be dating him instead. No she wouldn’t Craig, nor Shep have any interest in her. Neither does Thomas really. And I certainly don’t believe he is spending tons of money on her. I’m sure they made some sort of arrangement where he pays her for filming with him. She’s hired help. He hasn’t even approached her after the match. She is just standing around watching Thomas talk to Kathryn. Thomas tells Kathryn he doesn’t think things will work out with him and Ashley. Ashley is staring holes in them while they are chatting. Thomas is even mangling Hamlet quotes to Kathryn.
After everyone leaves Ashley is fake crying. By the way, where the hell are the kids? Ashley tells Thomas that if things do work out she will be fine. She says she loves Thomas so much. She says she still has some fight left in her.
Next week on the finale the guys talk about how Ashley has hit on all of them and the girls read Tamara Tattles to discover that she is an escort. Except I don’t provide screen shots to Haymaker so they can’t show that. Naomie is pissy that Craig has a date. Ashley threaten Kathryn and reminds her that he kids were taken away from her. Oh and there is that egg donor comment. So tacky, this one.
ask and you shall receive good one Tamara I saw the poster they were complaining they wanted this faster you bang this one out in record time nice to know you’re listening to the comments I don’t think many sides can say that. you’re also on the right side of the L O battle she’s amazing many many people love her and not just at Harvard either
I am so so so proud of Kathryn and I don’t even know her! I’m proud of the girl!! How was that mega product placement when Shep was making meatballs using Craftsy. How utterly unrealistic.
Why do we hate Shep? What did I miss?! Great recap, as per usual, Ms T!!
Tamara, I am not a Shep fan. I’d love to be undated on what you’re hearing. He is not as warm in real life as he seems on Southern Charm. I follow him on social media. At first, it was disappointing, but more importantly it exposes his true personality.
Ditto! Enquiring minds NEED to know all the scoop and tea.
I found a East Coast feed for the show and got home in time to watch it. I prefer watching with my TIVO, but I couldn’t wait.
Her thirst for money and being on the show is astounding. So much so I tweeted something to that effect…and got retweeted by Patricia!!!
I wish I could have seen Landon’s reaction when she found out that Kathryn went to the ball with SHEP!
Retweeted by Patricia ? That’s awesome 🙂
My Twitter notifications are a little nuts!
Sorry but this is driving me nuts. It’s Brookland Plantation, it has been on Edisto for a while.
I know that I will get up to a million cuss words shouted at me but I felt a little sorry for Ashley. She seems to be suffering some sort of break and Thomas is being a bastard to her. This seems familiar. First and foremost, dont finally be honest and then give her another try. Break it off, send or escort her home to her family. This is Thomas using someone until there is no more to give again.
I hope that we are done with Naomie and jD in the next season. Naomie has been a sweetheart the past couple of weeks but she rears her ugly bitch head again next week. She does not do jealous well.
To a certain extent so do I. I think she is ill. Now that we are finding even more and more about how horrible Thomas treated Kathryn AND his daughter (banishing them to the basement), I am a little more open to waiting to find out just what he has done to Ashley. She may be a Polo girl and a high end escort but this man is an evil creep (EVEN if the charges are not true….ha)
If all these people in Charleston knew that he was nasty I don’t understand why they didn’t refuse to film with him. I am sure it has something to do with (even though it wasn’t the intent at first) the fact that after Kathryn came into the picture the show centered on him.
Just so awful….but you are mesmerized at the same time.
No, just no.
There comes a point where just because you are a victim doesn’t mean you get a free pass to victimize.
Kathryn did NOTHING to her.
Ashley brought up one good point. What kind of judge takes custody from a woman who used marijuana to give full custody to a convicted felon in trouble for cocaine. There doesn’t seem to be much justice for women in those courts of this is common
I need to know the truth about this dreadful girl …why has she been at Brookland Plantation all week??!! Spill….
That’s where Thomas stashes his women (apparently in the basement like any good psychopath) while he’s back in Charleston womanizing and behaving badly. No surprise that Ashley went bat shit after being banished to Brookland this past weekend.
Craig Conover has so many symptoms of ADHD: forgetting things, late all the time, unable to finish projects, poor vocabulary. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yes I have 🙂
Definitely ADD. It takes one to know one (talking about myself), but I don’t see any hyperactivity associated with his behavior. I don’t associate a poor vocabulary with ADD, so I don’t really understand why he comes off as being unintelligent sometimes. After all, he passed the State Bar and that’s not easy. I know, for myself, I’m very easily distracted in the middle of conversations – a thought comes into my mind and my brain flies off at a tangent . My friends laugh about it and the family says, “Oops, there goes Mom/Grandma again”. I don’t see that so much in Craig, but there’s definitely something going on.
He already said that he takes adderall. He has the symptoms/behavior of someone taking too much of it .
I like Craig so much, but I just thought the fuzziness was weed.
He is on adderall
I was shocked by the fact that Kathryn was living with Kensie in THE BASEMENT? of the plantation? Why ever why? There seems to be a lot of upstairs there. Kathryn’s scene with Shep was very moving, and she looked beyond fabulous in that long green coat! Ashley’s behavior is concerning.
He was probably renting it out or wanted it available for parties.
That was shocking, I felt terrible for her and the baby.. I truly hope KD gets into a real relationship with a man who’s ready willing and able to partner with her and build a real life. The way Thomas treats women – well, he’s never had a successful romantic attachment and no surprise.
I noticed she lived in the plantation basement when rewatching recently.
After Thomas had a political open doors at the plantation (season 2?) KD came back in the house, after talking to the god awful campaign manager, and headed downstairs to the basement. It felt really dark and claustrophobic watching those scenes. You could almost feel her relief when Thomas agreed to move back to Charleston with them.
A little fight left? At that point in filming how long had they been together? They had nothing holding them together and they already were fighting like that and have awkward silences? I’m sure their union today is still forced by her. She manipulated the shit out of Thomas on that couch gotta hand it to her, give that man his karma. ??
I hope she makes his life a living hell.
Kathryn looked lovely going to the polo match. Green is her color. I think it was the family crest she was wearing on her coat. Glad she saw her time living at the Plantation in a better light by the time the evening was winding down. That is progress.
Shep marrying Kathryn? That was out of left field. No seagulls at the pier? Hate those birds.
Maybe Ashley will fall for JD’s BS and run away with him.
Thank you for explaining Katheryn’s pin. I absolutely fell in love with it. By far, she was the standout at the polo match
I didn’t realize that’s her family crest either lol
I’m pretty sure it was a pin with ribbons. It seems to be a play on military ribbons almost. A crest is more of a patch.
But I was typing as fast as I could and my brain was typing Brooklyn instead of Brookland so I barely glanced at it.
Right, TT. Not a family crest. Just a pretty accessory. Alternating colors of (grosgrain?) ribbon, a safety pin, chain and charms.
Maybe it was the Morgan family crest.
The crest sans deer.
And now she is slut shaming KCD in the comments of her IG, making the same reply to everyone, to deflect from her own atrocious behavior. Remember when she called Dani and enabler? Well, deflector, deflector, deflector. She will never take any responsibility.
TT, I have had a half of bottle of wine, so excuse me.
I’m kind of getting tired of commenters putting the whole blame of grown women’s behaviors on Thomas. He’s a douche canoe, for sure, but Ashley is a full fledged adult. She does not need to be escorted to her family like some 1940’s damsel in distress. Homegirl is in her 30’s. She should know by now that the environment is toxic and dip out. She chooses to not only stay, but to create conflict. I understand that women can be in abusive and manipulative situations and it’s hard, but let’s not downplay our strengths and intuition because of an egotistical man. And most importantly, let’s not make him our rescuer either.
Who run the world?
On second thought you are right. The problem is that if you said the same about the other woman in his life then it is all about “oh no, he manipulated her”. Which is it?
I’m guessing you are referring to Katherine? The only defense I have for her is her age at the time, IF we are talking about the past. If you look at her now as a grown woman, she is handling her life and him as an adult should, based on what we see.
I see
Edub, when we are smart WOMEN run the world. But not all are smart and I sure as shit don’t want the Ashleys of the world running it.
Girls!
LOL, I’m so happy someone got that!
Thanks for the ear worm! ?
TT – you’re right. Luzanne got out. Dani wouldn’t date him in the first season.
Which is why I loved Danni from the very beginning. Excellent taste.
What happened to Eliza Limehouse? Did her family pull heer out of the show?
She went back to Clemson. She was in school. I think she graduated. I don’t think she really wanted to be on the show.
… or needed to be! Thank you, TT!
Tamara. Dang, girl. You are WRITING these recaps faster than most people can TYPE! I have 15 minutes to go before it airs in Calif. Reading your recaps before enhances my viewing pleasure. Especially the shady tea and the background color on the South. I really must go there before it is too late. Now that it is dolphin-free and safe. (And people thought Jaws was the most dangerous creature!)
Loved that Shep supported Kathryn- she needs that. So proud of Kathryn going back to the plantation and seeing it for what it was- a prison for her and Kinsey- go live your best life Kathryn!!
Ashley is certifiably nuts. Hitting on Shep, did she hear about his mailbox money? Kathryn was the picture of class and poise and I am so pleased that she could go to the plantation and not be effected. I love Chelsea, she is so down to earth and normal and I think she is one of the beatbox additions to this show.
Did I hear correctly that Thomas claimed to have spent $22,000 on clothes for Ashley? Sheez, I’d bang him for that.
The rumors must be true that Ashley has some legit dirt on Thomas because she simply rejected his attempt to dump her. He was very clear yet she just wasn’t having it. Very strange.
Not enough, the bracelet may be $100-300, not enough. For the Krupp diamond I might be able to do anything once but I doubt it
I think they’ve done some recreational drugs together and if she outed him on that he’d probably lose custody of the kids now. Maybe it’s something else but that’s my guess on what the dirt is.
You can believe the words Thomas says, or you can see Ashley in pleather pants at the Polo field trying to dress like Kathryn and realize Thomas is lying. Thomas is not interested in Ashley’s Pretty Woman fantasies.
Haha, thanks for the reality check.
Those pants were really, really, bad. lol
I absolutely loved the green coat that Katherine wore and the boots she had on. Katherine has really grown and matured into a very poised mature woman. I am getting tired of watching Ashley though. She is so spiteful and annoying. I hope after this season we don’t have to watch her anymore.
Kathryn always looks fabulous. I so wish I had her style.
At least we don’t have to see Peyton any more!
Love the recap as always, TT! I liked this episode, but ya’ll…the preview for the finale. When homegirl said “Oh, what? Are you gonna hit me?” I responded (at my TV) for Kathryn. I was like “Yep, I sure am!” The preview made me really anxious. All these Ashley supporters (trolls) keep saying, before every episode, that she will be vindicated. Where and when? So far, she’s dug her hole deeper. The finale looks worse than the HHI episodes. I cannot believe we have to wait 2 weeks for the finale! 🙁
Two weeks for the finale? Oh, no! SC withdrawal! Btw, I thought it was really sweet of Naomi to rescue and care for a little kitten that needed a diaper. Not a lot of people would do that. Good for Naomi!
I saw a video of her dad, not sure if it was in the U.S. or France, but he was mixing special food and feeding wild animals on his patio. Seemed like a very tender-hearted and good man – he also fights for animal rights, so Naomie has been exposed to this all her life.
I thought the same! It seems like the season just started!
Ashley was vindicated again NOT !! hahahahaha
Ashley is a real piece of work I laughed when she asked Shep to be her new sugar daddy. The guy was for sure shocked and her breed is not good enough for his family .Shep would never take her home to meet his family,Ashley just is Not good enough !
Ashley must be good at what she does extortion is her middle name.
Ashley is so low class.
Katheryn handled herself with real class. Problem is I understand why she turned to drugs and alcohol being isolated and alone. I am sure, Thomas would leave her out there for days possibly weeks alone while he did whatever he wanted .
Katheryn looks Gorgeous ,Loved her style the entire episode.
Thomas I just can not in any way feel sorry for him,he is keeping Ashley around til the smoke clears .
I do not want to wait 2 weeks for the final show.
Will Ashley finally be vindicated ? blahahahahaha
Thank God Craig has another date !!
JD is Ashley’s only friend and that is only because he is Thomas’ BFF.
Ashley was triggered watching Thomas and Katheryn film because she wants to be The Center of Attention and she is NOT..Jealous much because Katheryn steals every single scene right out from under her and Thomas sees it !!
Thomas and Katheryn talking when she said “Now that you are dating her did I seem any less psycho?”.a classic Katheryn dig and burn. Love her .
Does anyone remember at the dinner party when Shep told Thomas he was the source of the friction between Landon and Kathryn? This is what Thomas does. Watch when he stands between Kathryn and Landon (see VOD) – the smirk that he has two women fighting over him. Same look in the preview of the upcoming ball. Two women fighting over him. I do not know what drug he has / was or is giving to them but whatever it is – creates great TV!
The only reason Ashley said she still had some fight left to save her relationship with Thomas was because all the other men she’d rather date turned her down.
Hi Everyone! Lurker, first time poster here. I have just recently become completely invested in Southern Charm and this season is just beyond. Did ANYONE else notice the device AJ had in her hand during the car ride????? I have kids in college and I knew what it was immediately. It’s a JUUL (tabacco) or Pax (pot) vape pen. She is smoking something!
She must be a heavy smoker because her voice was very husky when the season started.
I love Kathryn and her style and how she was helping/altering Danni’s outfit. She for sure has a future as a stylist. Brava! I mentioned before, she has innate style and original fashion sense. She’s got beautiful bone structure, statuesque….a great canvas to paint on 🙂
I am done with anyone doing any kind of blame on K for her drugs alcohol issues (really far and few between on here). Remember, her family didn’t drink AT ALL. Lots of causes that contributed to her falling down the rabbit hole of addiction. To get it together by her mid 20s. Heck, there are some people who never get it together and never get caught and have it become public knowledge. She found a gem of a therapist!
Thanks. Never thought of it that way. I had witnessed “proper” vs “improper “drinking all my life. Knew how to avoid situations and people.
Kathryn probably had no idea what was being done to her.
Great insight! Parents need to teach kids how to act around addictive substances/people so they can make safe choices. (And I include coffee-pecan pie-pretty people in that category)
Thank you! I quit drinking seven and a half years ago and my father died from alcoholism at 43. So I know from which I speak. 😉
I have a dumb question … if Ashley is/was a call girl hired to date Thomas this season, why are they still dating? With the way the episodes are edited, why didn’t they just break up at the end of filming? And why does she have a job in SC now? I can’t figure it out.
Honestly, I seriously question if she really has a job. She may have gotten her SC nurses license, but that doesn’t mean she has an actual nursing job. I mean, Craig passed the bar but he’s not a working attorney. Besides, I’ve only seen her post maybe 2 pictures on IG, at the most, of her in very non-descript scrubs. Every other day of the week, she’s posting photos of herself at the plantation or the beach or wherever. I’d like to know what kind of job she has, aside from the one TRav pays her for, that allows her to have 6 days off a week.
Ashley’s True profession is “actress.”
Like everyone else on the show – to one degree or another.
The show is still enjoyable even thought I realize that only about 10% is REAL!
Wow, Shep’s appearance is alarming. Craig also used to really care about how he looked and in the scene at the beer tasting it looked like he hadn’t showed in days and just role out of bed.
I have to confess that I watched the new expanded promo at least 3 times. The way Ashley behaves toward Kathryn on camera in the clip is so despicable and unbelievable, and her true ammo becomes clear when she speaks to Jennifer (it seems about Kathryn), “Every night you go to bed you think about how Ashley Jacobs is ‘winning’”. And that seems to be why she hangs on and on and on, to be seen as the “winner”. Very concerning. One wonders, the “winner” at what costs to herself and those around her?
Shades of Charlie Sheen there “Winning”.
OMG! It’s exactly the same. She’s like Charlie Sheen in so many ways.
If Thomas Ravenel is the prize then she is clearly THE LOSER.
Truth. He is no prize.
You can sense Patricia’s disdain for Thomas and Ashley start in this episode. Ashley is so cringe worthy in her conversation with Shep. Her desperation is embarrassing. Next week’s episode looks so good. I liked seeing Kathryn nervous about what to say to Patricia at her ball. It’s such a human and real side of her. I never liked that girl Jen that Kathryn was friends with previously. I know I’m in the minority with that but she always irked me. Interesting to see her back in the final episode. I wonder if it’s just clever editing that makes it seem she is talking badly about Kathryn with Ashley. Guess we’ll have to see. LOVED seeing the clip of Austen calling Ashley out. Can’t wait!!
I know people like Jen but I will never understand how she could sleep with Thomas behind Kathryn’s back, act like her friend, talk crap about Thomas to Kathryn and then when Thomas told Kathryn to drop her as a friend he turned around and became buddy-buddy with her again to the point where she went to court for Thomas! I would not trust a word that comes out of her mouth now.
That woman is very shady.
Her child looks a lot like Saint.
I’ve ALWAYS thought that.
Didn’t Patricia II Jen t of a party last season? I THINK it had something to do with”spying” for KD.
I’m surprised we did not see Diedra, the supposedly fired Nanny, at the plantation. Thomas is now renting his plantation as a B&B. He hired Diedra as the care taker who is staying at the plantation. So, he never really fired her he just changed her job description and relocated her place of employment. I’ll bet Diedra gives Ashley an ear full while doing tequila shots on that big old porch while Thomas is off in the horse barn. He should rename it “My Girlfriend Avoidance Center”.
Hey TT, I have a question for you or anybody else in the know about the background goings on of this and other reality shows. I’m just curious- do you know if they put the whole Season in the can before the first episode airs and run it without changes or edits or does the editing of each episode continues until just before it airs? Since this all happened 6 months or so ago, lots has come out about Ashley, not to mention her very public meltdowns for example that producers might not have predicted at the time. The previews suggest that Ashley’s alleged “polo girl” activities comes up in conversation next week. I wonder if current social media effects how episodes are edited. There has got to be tons of footage they have to choose from that we never see. Just color me nosey.
The season is not in the can when it starts airing. When the first few episodes are airing they are still filming. That said they are not editing episodes all along either. That is they edit the episode for their next dealing, then if something is discovered later they can pivot their edit in the next episodes. So it is kind of in between the two options that you suggested. That said the final episodes have been in the can for months. So all of Ashley’s crazy and Thomas’ departure from the show were handled a the reunion a couple weeks ago.
Thanks for the inside tea!
Wow, TT, you’ve turned out to play a pivotal role on this season of Southern Charm! It’s too bad Haymaker won’t give you proper due credit, but at least we the fans know the truth.
I don’t think we have any polo fields in Vegasland, and the closest one to Orange County is near Del Mar (because of course it is). I hope this means I never have to worry about running into Thomas or Ashley any time soon. The last time I was this repulsed by a Bravolebrity was three years ago, when Vicki and Brooks were exposed for their cancer scam. Yes, I feel that strongly about the predator and the gold-digger.
I’m starting to suspect most people are stupid and everyone involved with Bravo/reality TV in general is garbage. Am I just catching up? *blink*
I beg your pardon, Sam? Are you talking about the viewers/fans? Sincerely hope not, because I think the commenters on this website are among the most intelligent you’ll find anywhere. Yes, Bravo could be considered garbage for some of the things they promote, and some of the participants could unkindly be called garbage, but it’s highly entertaining garbage, for the most part, and that’s the whole point of watching.
I suspect Sam is implying the people who want to be on the shows (obviously want the attention,) not the viewers. We are quite the caring and intelligent sort, aren’t we!!
Thomas and Ashley are narcissistic codependents – – yes you can be both and yes they attract each other. Not once has he ever said that he “loves” her back. This show has been so therapeutic for me – – I was married to a NC and am still healing after 4 years out. I love seeing Kathryn finally being vindicated. The same thing is happening right now for me and it is awesome!!
Congratulations! The aftermath of a break up is always hard. And if the other one was a jerk/playboy, even tougher.
Good on ya!
Ashley is quite nasty to Thomas in pretty much every interaction they have. I really think Thomas has “wet brain” after years and years of alcohol abuse.
That is an excellent point, Karen! Thomas does act “battered” when he is around Ashley. I am thinking of his weird frozen guffaws in the kitchen at HHI when Ashley said she was the “boss”, to his inability to stand up to her in front of others, while she talks to him like a dog. One wonders what is going on behind the scenes with Thomas and Ashley that we do not see. Thomas is acting prematurely “addlepated” and that seems a bit weird considering the type of nurse Ashley allegedly was. Again, I hope those children are far away from Ashley at all times.
My theory (and this is MY goofiness, not reality) is that Ashley is trapping Thomas so she can become his “nurse”. After that, well, she can pretty much do as she pleases. As a hospice nurse, she allegedly could make the end of his life quite comfy and quick.
You are spot on. The frozen guffaw (great description!) reminded me of an embarrassed husband.
Shame to see a proud family being brought down.
Anyone needs to be keeping ANYONE away from Ashley, especially as an RN. I am seriously wondering if the SC Board is thinking about this. She supposedly was predatory with one older gentleman in Santa Barbara and the family kicked back (I believe.) She is showing to be a great risk to patients just with that alone, but can you imagine if they are watching this show? She is personality disordered of the sociopathic or borderline type to the nth degree. As for Thomas acting battered, I believe what TT said once about her probably holding something over him that is critical (TT – didn’t you mention something about her getting into his computer?) Anyway, I think less wet brain and more “cautious and scared” brain. He actually broke up with her in this last episode and she said nope.
I can’t believe he lets her call him a p-ssy at Patricia’s winter ball, in last night’s preview. Is this really the woman he thinks will bring honor to the Ravenel name, as he said when he dumped Landon? Ashley called him a p-ssy for not telling Kathryn how great their relationship is – what in the f of f’s???? Seeing the old pics of Ashley with the platinum blonde hair, boobs falling out of her tops, private jets, etc….I get a very, very scary vibe. She must have dirt on Thomas for him to be within a 100 miles of her. If I were Kathryn, I’d take these clips to the cops for a restraining order.
I think there was some speculation about Ashley’s nursing license …for what it is worth…I think I caught a glimpse of the lure license,,,looks like the same shade of blue of my California RN license. Would still like to know where she did her training.
I believe Patricia is friends with Mario Buatta…he is known as The Prince of Chintz.
Famous designer out of NYC
I love, love, love chintz. I think it’s because I associate it with the supremely comfortable overstuffed sofas and arm chairs I grew up with in England. To me, there’s nothing more cozy than a home that’s decorated in the English country style, complete with a fire roaring in the grate and beautiful lampshades emitting soft glows. The colors of the chintz extend the whole idea of bringing the outside into the home – the hues of flowers and nature. I also love the fact that wallpaper is making a comeback – there are some gorgeous ones out there these days. Each to his own, of course, I know a lot of people find that very stuffy and prefer the minimalist look that’s so popular now.
I love, love, love chintz too! – complete with the cozy fireplace, one or two good friends, and a bottle of sherry or port! Bliss!
Off to google chintz.
I am a born Anglophile. Was just looking up British made kettles.
Our home has no “style” albeit cozy and animal filled. Chintz may help.
I loved Cameran’s eyeroll response to Shep asking if he should marry Katherine. She basically was refusing to engage with the stupid storyline.
The scene when Chelsea tells Austin that he’s one of her best friends, my bf goes “yeah,guys LOVE hearing that!”
Chelsea’s friendzoning of Austen was masterful. She’s got skill that one. I literally expected him to say, “I’m not worthy” because he’s not.
Craig appears to be living in some post-apocalyptic bunker? When he, a BAR-admitted attorney, said ‘deadlines are suggestions ‘ I almost spit out my sweet tea!!
Kathryn should be on America’s Next Top Model.
FYI, it’s Brookland, not Brooklyn.
FYI, Read the fucking commenting rules. Or at least the other comments.
TT- you are the best info on the web about everything. But is it really necessary for you to be so rude in your response to your readers?
Yes, Yes it is. Unless you want all the comments to be about typos. Oh, and READ THE FUCKING COMMENTING RULES!
Thank you for your response. You do have a way with words.
Meh. I’m just perpetually cranky. 🙂
Ashley seems broken in a really scary, desperate way. Thomas deserves her; KD and his kids do not.
And what is the deal with Naomi, why is she so hateful? Even the bit about the kitten left me cold, I just felt she was using the poor kitten as a prop to distract from he on cuntitude.
Has anyone noticed that EVERYONE is skinny? Ashley took one look at Kathyrn and went full-blown Adderall, Coke, with a splash of anorexia! That’s why she isn’t working. All RN’s have to pass an initial drug screen! Thomas went to prison for a large amount of cocaine, that even HIS family couldn’t bribe their way out! Gee…I wonder with whom he was indulging? Every one of these bastards has shit on each other that would blow all of our minds! That’s probably why puppetmistress, Patricia is making amends with Kathyrn! Mr. year-round white jeans, free baller, is making her little 50 year old son, look bad – by association, of course!
Firstly, love this show. Thomas, he reminds me of my lawyer friend who is 66. He loves tail, he loves be married. He just can’t help himself. Good looking man like Thomas, but loves his women. I always try don’t explained to him don’t get caught. I don’t agree with his lifestyle, but it makes him happy. If the women were smart they would go for Whitney. His mother Patricia adore her. She is educated, pretty and knows how to land a man. Kathryn has come a long way, very impressived. I acted foolish over men in my twenties too. Ashley is making a complete fool out of herself. She is old enough to know better, plus she treats women, except I.e. someone like Patricia who has it all, nicely. I hope next years show is better. This year, too much bullied and desperation, u all know who I mean. Scripted or not, Ashley needs to be dropped. Just my opinion.
I’m just going to throw this out there to see anyone’s opinion. I’ve thought this was the best season yet on SC. And as much as she’s been bat sh*t crazy, the whole Ashley and Thomas storyline has been entertaining. But with Thomas fired from the show, what plotline will be the driver for next season. TT, any info/ideas you’ve heard?
I don’t think they have even started thinking about that yet.. Probably Kathryn and Patricia’s new friendship if it holds up. I’d like to see more of Shep’s promiscuity (to say the least) exposed through a more factual editing. We might see a FAKE AF relationship between Shep and Kathryn as they have already started pretending that is a thing. Who knows?
The cast talked about Shep’s drinking in an early season but nobody dares to talk about it now. I’m suspicious that behind his talk about being a good guy, there might be a bad temper. I don’t like the way he picks on Craig He is too old for petty bullying. I think he gets a good edit.
I think Naomi might easily fit the bill
Finally had time to watch the show.
For me, every episode is like a trip to a strange planet. “SC” is a place where women grovel and snarl over an addled playboy. That playboy is practiced in flattery (“your aura!”) and fancy quotations. He has little of any real worth behind him.
Nice horses, though.
Kathryn behaved with grace throughout the show, but I kept wondering where the children were, too. She handled Thomas well. Since my kids are older than her, I ask myself how I would be counselling a woman her age (22?)about life, raising kids in this age, plus dealing with the kids’ dad. I get the feeling she keeps getting gobsmacked by life.
Naomie? Sorry, nope. No rescue allows you to take a nursing kitten home in your purse. Having rescued newborn kittens, I can confidently say PRODUCTION did this. And why is she continuing to be so mean to Craig? Lordy, move on and make peace.
Thanks to Chelsea for keeping it real. This show needs that. Austen is not worthy.
Now, was I the only person who heard the following? Promo for the finale, and Cameran is dancing with Whitney. Is it a voice over that says “You are the only man I ever really wanted”?
Nope, Kathy D. I heard it too. I wondered if it was from another scene edited to make it appear more provocative. Because, production.
Exactly! Thanks.
Anyone notice Shep hasn’t like any of
kathryn’s Instagram posts in a long time? He likes Everyone else’s but hers.
TT, if this is an incorrect post, please delete.
My cable company’s “On Demand” is showing the current season’s “Southern Charm” aftershows. Maybe 15 min of q and a, some chit/chat.
The real personalities come out on this snippet of a show. Kathryn! Her real personality is amazing! Cool and collected.
Episode 3 discusses Cameran’s husband’s love for the neighbor’s chihuahua, Elvis. It is both hysterically funny (if you are a dog fan) and tender. Since we did chihuahua rescue, I can attest those dogs just stick to your heart.
Wishing Whitney would do a reality show about dog people. I would watch 30 mins of Butler Michael working with the Altschul pack.
Yes, Cameran’s husband is IN LOVE with Elvis, the neighbor;’s dog. They have been sharing him with him for some time. Cameran says the dog is at their house more than his. She posts photos of her hubby with Elvis a lot. She says he loves Elvis more than her.
Noticed Bravo had Relationshep reruns on….really.. did laundry instead.
I absolutely love everyone’s remarks on this season… I am in just awe of Naomie’s behavior tho! She brags of “Keeping Track of Craig’s Location” how frigging old are we? Come’on it really isn’t as funny as she Obviously thinks it is. I am fully aware that there are many sides of the story. With that being said, good ole’ Craig needs to really grow too.
Thanks and Have A ? Weekend
