Most of the women on this show annoy me. I should get that out there right from the start before attempting a Southern Charm NOLA Recap. Especially, Reagan Charleston. In case you missed it, Tamara Tattles was the first to get the scoop on her wedding and pregnancy. So let’s see how she plans to spin this. Where do they find these horrible creatures?
I do love Jeff and he seems happy. I also love the artist guy, Jon Moody. I wish the guys were the focus and not the women. This is a lot of NOLA in one night. Tamica’s nine year old daughter has to wake her up? Why? It seems like things are better with Tamica and Barry. Let’s get straight into this Southern Charm NOLA Recap!
Tamica and Barry have move across Lake Pontchartrain. They love their new house and ginormous pool. Tamica says this year is all about personal growth for her.
Reagan and Jeff are getting along despite the pending divorce. And well her upcoming shotgun wedding. But that’s a whole nuther story. Once Jeff’s family stole the money, Reagan bailed. I’m pretty sure my sources said she kept the house. The editing of this segment says that the house is Jeff’s now. We shall see. They are still pretending that things are good between them.
Justin & Kelsey
I really don’t feel like I know these two. But at least they got their own place. And it is gorgeous. They are both on a major diet plan. They have both dropped a lot of weight. They also have a new dog. Now all Kelsey needs is a ring.
Tamica and Reagan go to lunch. Apparently, these two best friends are not close at all when the cameras go home. Reagan is not drinking. But no one knows she is pregnant yet. Tamica doesn’t even think Reagan’s new boyfriend is that serious. I believe my sources said that all the girls turn on her for hiding her entire life from them and then suddenly getting married. Tamica and Barry’s pool party should be interesting.
Guys Night In
But before we get to the pool party, all the guys head over the bridge to Jeff’s house for drinks. Jeff says the divorce will be final in about a week. He seemed relieved to be free of Reagan. Both Jeff and Reagan are really trying to sell their conscious uncoupling as a good thing. They both say they will continue to be close friends. I’m not sure this sentiment will make it through the first episode.
This divorce is a confusing as the fact that Jon and Jeff are playing ping pong on the wrong side of the table. Jon wants to give Jeff a makeover and send him out on the prowl. But, it seems he wants to make him over in his own image. Why would he dye his hair black?
Pool Party!
Tamica’s personal growth year apparently includes having someone help her choose a variety of swimsuits for her pool party. Because, everything is about Tamica. She has both a personal assistant and a brand manager doing all the work for the party. Why does this need to be such a major production. Sun, pool, booze. That’s all that needs to be done. False eyelashes for a pool party is utterly ridiculous.

Kelsey and Barry arrive rocking their new summer bodies and Tamica is cranky that the attention is all on Kelsey. Kelsey didn’t apparently get the memo that this is Tamica’s year for Tamica. I forget why she hates Kelsey so much. Reagan’s boobs are falling out the bottom of her swimsuit as she continues to try to sell her happy divorce story. Again. It won’t be long until Tamica and Reagan go from frenemies to enemies. These women can’t get along for five minutes.
It’s My Party And I’ll Cry If I Want To!
Tamica runs off to cry in the bathroom because when they were all getting the hard sell on the happy divorce Reagan mentioned Tamica’s near divorce. Why is Tamica so emotional? This is what best friends look like? After the dramatic crying, Tamica does a wardrobe change. Anything to get the attention back on her. But that doesn’t last long because Jon arrives in bright yellow shorts and a funkadelic fur coat. Sorry, Tamica.
Then Jeff makes his grand entrance. He’s got a new haircut. It looks like he actually did dye it. It seems to be a bit of a darker red. Then Jon took him to get his ears pierced. I did not need to watch that long needle go into his ear! Reagan cries when she talks to Jeff about his new look. Jeff seems happy to be free from her. Why is everyone crying at this party?
GET MORE SOUTHERN CHARM NOLA TEA HERE!
Reagan leaves the party first. She has to get home to her new man. The very first scene we get of him is him naked in the shower. And there that is where the episode ends. I struggled a bit with this Southern Charm NOLA recap. It seems to me that this group talks way to fast. And Tamica, despite being a TV host seemed like she had marbles in her mouth. Is that just me?
Next week, Reagan has an event. Jeff will find out about Reece for the first time. Will the divorce still be superduper then?
Great recap. I kept turning the volume up because I was having a hard time understanding some of them. I guess I’ll cancel that appointment to get my hearing checked. I didn’t watch this show last year, but because there was nothing else on last night, I tuned in. My favorites right now are Justin and Kelsey — only because they have a Labradoodle named Roux and I have a Mini-Labradoodle named Roux. I’m fickle that way.
Yes, the sound was terrible, I turned on closed caption. But I do have to do this often for the reality shows.
100% believe the only reason Reagan is stringing Jeff along through the divorce is to fleece him even more than she already has, notice how the house has zero furniture left in it. Every time she comes on screen I want to bitch slap her.
And does Jeff work? Sometimes (maybe?) jobs are left out of the show.
After he retired from the NFL, he went back to school, Tulane, for two year and got his MBA. Then I believe he worked with some gyms, got USA weightlifting certified. Now he is the Head Coach of Performance Training for Ochsner. Ochsner is a very large health care provider in the New Orleans area.
Thank you SuzyJane! I was wondering about this too. I love Jeff and it makes me super happy to hear he got his MB and has a great job. The impression SCNO gives it that he’s umeployed and floundring (or was that just me)? I can’t stand Reagan either and am counting down the days till the cast turns on her.
Thanks for the recap, Tamara. Enjoyed last night’s episode even though Jeff, at this point anyway, was willing to go along with Reagan’s tale of what was really going on with them last season. Wonder if she still has the FQ apartment? Anyone else find Reagan’s voice extremely annoying? Justin is my favorite of this bunch. I could listen to him talk all day long. That is all…
She doesn’t have the apartment – she got rid of it, and bought a house..
Suzy Jane – I am with you. Reagan comes off fake AF. If he has any proof she was unfaithful during the marriage (wtf w/ her own apartment last year?? #smokinggun), she should not be able to get much if anything, right?
OK no one on these shows EVER goes without false eyelashes. And in real life I’m seeing them on the girls working at McDonalds. And it’s not like any of them got anywhere near the water. My huge disappointment was that Jeff left his robe on!!!!!!
yep…love the men…HATE most of the women…especially Kelsey…I don’t really know why but she is just annoying AF to me. Tamica 2,0 might be doing better with her hubby so that is good but she is only a little less annoying than Kelsey…I do like the girl friend that came in last but I can’t remember her name. She does have common sense. I hope Jeff does well cause his story is just too sad.
Phew! I’m not the only one who has an unreasonable dislike of Kelsey. Is it the nasal voice? Maybe a nose job would fix that. Is it the stench of desperation for the ring? Is it the thirst? I can’t give it a definitive. Her man is fine though.
It’s that she looks like Debbie Wasserman Schultz so that’s all you can think about.
That’s who I’m seeing. Thank you!
Reagan is a bitch for the Jeff stuff but….. tamica flopped that shit on her at her house so easily it was sad. Tamica is drop dead gorgeous but that’s all ruined with her shitty personality. Justin is pretty hot, I’m sorry Kelsey is just a butta face 🤷🏻♀️
I have a primal dislike for Tamica. Something is very off with her.
think it’s mean girl/try hard syndrome. And there’s no need when you’re successful and gorgeous
☝🏿 Right here is spot on. Tamica was the pretty/ mean girl, queen bee in high school and she has forgotten she is no longer in high school and the inflated sense of entitlement continues. Reagan’s voice is ANNOYING and I hate her jewelry line. Plus she treated Jeff like hell, though living with a man with major depression and who is now broke because he parents stole all is money, has to be difficult. That tiger or lion (couldn’t tell) charm on her necklace is way too big and ugly imho. Kelsey is annoying too, her voice her desperation to be married. Now that I think about it, all the women on this show have voices that grate on my nerves. The guys are likeable and great eye candy. producers, just focus on the men in southern charm:NOLA, they are the stars.
Agreed! Those lion door knocker earrings are ridiculous 😂 Katie Maloney wearing them really turned me off 💁🏻♀️
Anne Klein called. She wants her 90’s jewelry line back.
This !
Never liked Kelsey and not sure why. She’s even more annoying since she lost weight. Although props to her for doing it. Her body looks great.
I hate Underboob. If your top doesn’t fit, size up. It looks ratchet as hell.
I didn’t even know that it had a name! Ratchet as hell..yes, yes, yes.
I think she was pregnant there and her boobs didn’t fit last years bikini any more!
Jeff was so cute trying to put together a cheese board with dried out cheese and a few strawberries. Such a nice guy.
I want to know the story on how/why his family ripped off Jeff’s money.
I’d like to know more about that too…
I don’t think the show gave all the details last year but allegedly his mother was acting as his business manager and cleaned him out. And when he confronted her his entire family turned on him. Pretty sad.
I thought they said she went in and pretended being Reagan..his wife…and ripped him off. Could be wrong
Awful!
I remember reading somewhere last year that the parents wrote him off after it all came out. How sad!
I can’t stand watching (or hearing) these women.
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope that Heff’s family “stole” his money because they knew Reagan would bail and that they planned all along to give it back afterward. If they did, I will laugh so hard when she finds out she was duped.
Nanette thats a great angle. You need to produce some Bravo episodes. I love Jeff he seems like a peach. Reagan is common as hell. I like this show very much.
Thanks, Marc. I think lots i the commenters here could SCRIPT a better reality” show than what these have become.
As for Regean: One would think she could make a proper Sazerac (or any cocktail) if she wanted to show off her family’s bitters! That intro to her on S1E1 was foreshadowing. And I disliked her right away.
I agree that thought crossed my mind as well. Doubt that was the case, but one can hope.
Kelsey was super annoying this episode. Seems like she is trying way too hard.
I want to like Tamica so bad but she makes it really hard. She is gorgeous though.
The whole Jeff & Reagan story seemed like spin. They’re trying way too hard to sell it. I can’t tell if its storyline or something she got him to agree to go along with. I guess we’ll find out soon. I could have done without seeing soap running down Reagan’s new mans buttcrack though.
I have a theory on Kelsie- I don’t think she’s as annoying as she’s coming off- I think she’s being put in an awkward position as an “outsider “ to this group of “friends” (aka mean girls). BTW, I don’t recall any behavior from HER denoting that she is desperate for a ring…that’s just what the gossipy bitches say about her and Tamica was the one insinuating it and putting her in an awkward defensive position last season at that party.
Now, this year, Kelsie is over compensating with a kind of “fake it till you make it” confidence face. She’s probably way more chill in person. She reminds me of an introvert trying to extrovert… and I give her major props for not cowering to Tamica’s unnecessary shade throwing- aka bullying- at the pool party.
Kelsey was a bit extra and annoying but at the same time I thought she worked hard and didn’t even know she would feel that amazing so she deserves to be a little annoying. I think she’ll pull it back in
I forgot this show was starting. I kind of can’t believe it got renewed, honestly, as last year the story lines seemed so forced/contrived, but I’ll watch it given it’s in my home town.
I do have a tiny sip of tea –I know Barry in passing as I used to work out at the gym he supposedly owns in Old Metairie. He didn’t own in then, but he certainly could have bought it since I went there. He’s a nice guy but he always was slightly full of it (i.e., kind of a bragger/smack talker).
That’s all I’ve got. lol
These fools kept me company last night when I just couldn’t sleep. Wow. Reagan. Goop she is not; Goop is thoroughly annoying but Reagan takes the cake for most annoying person on reality tv. I love the guys! Playing ping pong with the table the wrong way was so strange but at least they were happy and having fun together. Jon and his swimwear outfit gave me great joy. He’s hilarious and adorable! Jeff’s makeover was great too. Who knew a trip to a good hair stylist could work such magic? I really do look forward to seeing more of the guys being real friends and supporting one another. The ladies? They’re so tiresome.
I love New Orleans! My youngest loves it even more. She’s especially enamored with the gutter punk kids sleeping and/or panhandling on street corners. She loves their style. We were just there last week and she’s like “let’s go back now.” Too bad it’s 110 degrees already. Yuck.
St. Simons Island is so gorgeous. I miss living on that coast and want to get back soon to see St. Simons, Fernandina Beach, Savannah, and hopefully St. Augustine.
I wish we had photos of the NOLA Punk Panhandlers! Their style likely trumps (a word I don’t use much now) the looks these bitches try to rock.
Tamika DOES seem really mean, unnecessarily. Also, seriously, people can and do break up and still be friends. At first I thought Jeff and Reagan’s break up was just her doing but Jeff admitted last night that he kind of gave up. Tamika needs to accept that these two don’t belong together and they’re not getting back together. I found her to be so annoying about it all (when it has nothing to do with her).
Kensie seems like a very nice person and I do think she deserves to be gifted with an engagement ring. Justin is taking too much time with that…and that whole “oh you’re calling this YOUR house” thing was BS. You LIVE TOGETHER. It’s as much her house as yours bud.
The Jeff makeover couldn’t have come soon enough. I was disappointed that when he showed up to the pool party, he didn’t look half as good as he did in his solo scenes with the cute hat, trimmed and dyed beard. His hair is AWFUL even w/ the new cut.
Since when is self involvement a negative in reality tv? I liked the show last year…no wig pulling, sloppy drunkenness, felonies, etc.
Yes, Reagan is a cold climber, but something is not right if you’re fleeced twice. It’s time for therapy, Jeff, and lots of it, unless you want to change your name to EZ Mark. His make over is hot, though.
I enjoyed this episode and everyone has really stepped up their glam game!
Love the men on this show. Jon’s arrogance is ridiculous but I love it.
Tamica seemed mean towards Reagan but I think it’s because she knows more about Reagan’s BS than she can say on camera. It reminds of last season when it appeared Tamica disliked Gian (glad she’s gone!) for no reason when really Gian was just trying to get into the group to get onto the show but Tamica couldn’t say that on camera .
Kelsey was really annoying in this episode but hopefully she’ll calm down.
Reagan’s “special diet” is called pregnancy and I think everyone especially the women are going to blow up when that secret is revealed. I now see why last season’s French Quarter apartment was a necessity.
I don’t usually comment. Tamica reminds me exactly of a “friend” I had for many years. Her tone of voice, mannerisms, everything to a tee. This “friend” of mine would run around telling everyone she was my BFF and at the same time would talk crap about me to anyone that would listen. In the south we say she was talking out of both sides of her mouth. If I dated a guy that didn’t have much “I could do better” and if I dated a guy that had money “I was a gold digger”. She trashed me no matter what. Come to find out the entire time she was just jealous for whatever reasons. And just not a real friend at all. You don’t lose friends you lose secret haters. And I get the gut feeling that is the kind of “friend” Tamica is. Just the kind of person that can’t be happy for anyone. Not that I like Reagan either. She is a whole nother can of worms. And she may very well be the same way. Birds of a feather. Kelsey is cloying and a little bit much but seems harmless. She actually seems like she would be a good friend.
I agree with TT. I really wish they would focus more on the men on the show. They’re much more interesting and organic. Plus… these men are FINE. They really are good looking. Is it bad I said that? Because they are.
I’m already not a fan of Regans boyfriend (now husband). If your first scene on a reality show involves your butt crack…..BWOOP! BWOOP! DOUCHE DETECTED.
