While the rest of the country is watching The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All I am here in purgatory repenting for my sins of saying words like “midget’ and “retard” by recapping this nonsense. In my defense some of my best friends are midgets and retards. Okay, not really. But I do have a relative we call Bridgett the midget.
Moving on to tonight’s nonsense in Savannah. All I care about is the duck hunting trip to Hagood’s gorgeous family farm in Darlington for a duck hunting trip. Jesus the farm sits on 24,000 acres. They are RICH for real. Hagood hopes to buy out family shares from anyone who wants out to keep the farm whole. 
After 35 minutes of show about nothing we are finally on the way to the farm. I am so excited Brandon is going I was afraid he wouldn’t and he and Hagood are the only redeeming qualities of this shit show. Brandon is leaving early and is not hunting. He’s gay and the only thing he hunts is antiques. I miss all the antique auctions in South Carolina and Savannah. That used to be my Friday night.
I love the hunting lodge and the oyster roast and the prayers by Hagood. Why is this all about Lyle and Catherine again. Come on. I want to enjoy this trip!
Le sigh. After a fabulous meal, and a fake pig’s blood ritual, Louis shoots Lyle with the fire extinguisher and they brawl.
Basically, we don’t get to see any hunting until next week. So another disappointing episode.
Ugh. The noobs (Brandon and Hagood) gave me hope for Season 2. I hope we get to see more of their stories this season, and less of the Catherine-Lyle psychodrama that had me rolling my eyes during Season 1.
I know some of the other fans couldn’t take Ashley Borders’ antics last season, but IMHO she provided the bulk of the drama last season. I’ll really be beside myself if it turns out that Bravo and Haymaker dropped her and shoved the Season 2 newcomers aside, just to give us more of the same lukewarm nonsense that had us all toss this whole show by the wayside once we realized New Orleans was coming.
(And dammit, I’m already on pins and needles for their Season 2! Unlike the Savannah cast, they earned it!)
Totally agree with you about Ashley Borders. She was the main person who made things interesting. Also, like Daniel a lot!
I’m pretty sure NOLA was cancelled.
Oh, no! Seriously, they cancelled New Orleans? I know they had trouble keeping ratings up as the season progressed, but I don’t get why Bravo would give them the axe after giving Savannah a second chance.
Ugh, just ugh.
TT sad, I liked the cast, had diversity with different story lines. Plus loved to see the landscape
Didnt they show Ashley talking to Daniel in the trailer for the season?
Yes, as Liza pointed out downthread. Still, it looks like she’ll only be returning as a guest in the next episode. I hope I’m wrong, as I’d like to see how she’s coping with the divorce… And with the ridiculous shunning she got from most of the cast during Season 1.
Well, just like last week, my favorite part of the show was seeing the table setting and the dinner. The greenery on tonight’s tables was so pretty!
Unlike some of the people here, I am not eager to see Ashley back. She is just too troubled for me to take any enjoyment from seeing her. And I feel so sorry for her husband (if they are still married) and son.
I did not watch the opening after watching a bit last season. I probably did not give the show enough time but I didn’t like what I saw. Not trying again.
I enjoyed Sth Charm New Orlleans, NOLA., a city I spent over a week in and fell in love. I’d love a small shotgun house on the parade route.
I love the people and city.
I checked in on the recap to see if I was missing anything. Obviously I’m not. Savannah is meh. They ruined it. Shame on them!
Who thought that it would be a good idea to make a show with these people? Hagood and Brandon are OK but the rest are unlikable and boring.
I like Hagood and Brandon, too. I think they should add Hagood & Brandon to the original SC Charleston Cast and ditch the Savannah cast & the show.
Anyone else think that Shep & Hagood have an awful lot in common?
Wonder how old she is?
I went to her helenhagood instagram and saw some of her gorgeous artwork.
Scientific Illustrator. Don’t hear that job description much.
She also has general drawings/paintings, which are thought provoking and very special pieces.
I’m impressed.
Brandon makes me smile. “hunting for antiques” hehehe
He’s a gas!
WHY do I continue to watch this dreck? Who cares about any of these people? “Caring” in the sense of them having even a modicum of personality, uniqueness, likability?
#cancelthisshow
in total agreement that only Hagood and Brandon are worthy of watching. i know this isn’t politically correct, but i have to say that this is the most unattractive group of reality cast members in the history of the genre. i could find more attractive cast members in my little neighborhood and i live in a retirement community. the only way to salvage this boring trainwreck is to fire everyone but Hagood and Brandon. then let those two along with Hagood’s parents give us tours in and around savannah! someone should start a petition! lol
I was about to call it quits after the episode but then previews show Daniel talking to Ashley. I’m back in!
Yes! Between the noobs and the return of OG Ashley, I’m holding out hope for Season 2. Again, I don’t get why they cut back on the one compelling story from Season 1 (they also had that weirdo con artist, but he was far more revolting than compelling IMHO), went light (at least so far) on the new cast members who actually have intriguing stories, and went heavy on the cast members who are still pushing the same old stories that made Season 1 underwhelming.
I wanted to see more of Hagood’s family home decorated for Christmas. I like this gal (my extremely Southern MIL’s word and it fits her). She is all Southern and probably has some great eccentrics in her immediate family tree. Brandon is great comic relief for the rest of this boring cast. These two have sucked me back in for one more week.
I just don’t understand how this show got renewed. Ashley kept things a little bit entertaining but there is not one iota or charm in this cast (although I am holding out for Hagood).
Thanks for the recap. I’m in the minority, but I look forward to this show on Monday night. I don’t know why but I do !!!
I kind of like the show too. But there is literally nothing to recap. Every week is simply a new setting for everyone to talk about the two broken relationships.
Catherine and Lyle are lifeless. No spark. No personality. No flavor. Does either one have a job? And Catherine talks A LOT but says nothing. And that voice … like fingernails on a chalkboard. Ugh.
Show has been ok but I miss Savannah so I booked a hotel and off in a few weeks.
I hope you are staying on the riverfront!
