After no show last week, when pulling photos for this week’s Southern Charm Nola Recap I could not remember a single person’s name except for Jon Moody. And he wasn’t in any of the photos I pulled. My memory is nonexistent these days. And for some reason the RHOP recap took forever tonight. Anyway, let’s see what sort of unnecessary drama Reagan stirs up this week.
It is Halloween in the French Quarter. So, this show be a great episode. I believe we are going to start with a haunted house tour. But first, Reagan has to announce her engagement to the group. One of my commenters pointed out that Reece’s parents are wealthy. That makes everything make sense. But, she is going to earn every penny of that money living with this doofus. The announcement is met by stunned silence. Reece had asked Reagan not to announce anything just yet. But, Reagan ignored his wishes.
Dinner With The Dead
Everyone is confused why “Reagan” set up a haunted tour of the French Quarter. Production set it up for us, that is why. We love this stuff! Justin does not. He hasn’t like any of the supernatural stuff they do every season. They have been scheduled to have dinner at Muriel’s restaurant where a famous ghost has taken up residency. And there is going to be a seance. Justin draws the line there. So does Kelsey. They bail. Barry wants to get out of it too, but apparently Tamica insisted he stay.

When I was little we would have sleepovers and play “light as a feather” where someone was the body and everyone else would put two fingers from each hand under the body and we would say some chant in an attempt to levitate the person. Those childish “seances” and Ouija board games were way more serious and sophisticated than this seance. A see a Bill? A William? The color blue? A D name? Andre? Dugasse? Nope. Nope. And more nope. In college I would sometimes “read palms” at the bar. I had sort of a knack for knowing what people were majoring in by their appearance. I was more successful than this woman. Reece asked her for three horse race numbers. She gave him 8, 6, and 8. That’s two numbers. Sigh.
Tossed Salad And Scrambled Eggs
Am I supposed to know this new BFF of Reagan’s? I think they said her name was Rachel. She seems way too wise and normal for Reagan. Although she did bring a dozen eggs and have Reagan hold them all in her hands while they talked. Each egg represented someone in her life. It took her more than two hours to discuss the people represented by the eggs. Then she ends with “speaking of eggs, I’m pregnant.” I like Rachel.

Tamica goes to lunch with he real friend Sue. Tamica is worried about her son, Hunter turning thirteen. She needs Barry to have a sit down with him about girls and the police, and drugs and drinking and smoking and all the things teen aged boys need to know about. But the real reason for this scene is to get Reagan’s phone call on camera. Tamica steps outside to take the call and pretends like she didn’t already know. But she did.
Jeff goes on an awkward first date. Apparently the bar is right next to the train tracks. So, wheb a train goes by, their conversation is interrupted. Production has also paid a location fee to keep the room they are in empty. At least they didn’t hire extras. Sidenote: There is a lot of screaming outside tonight. The guy across the street is super quiet. The houses on both sides are currently empty. Where is all this noise coming from? There were firetrucks and ambulances at one home down the road today. Then a few hours later three cop cars were patrolling the area. Something is a foot.
Anyway, the date is getting a bit better. They seem to actually like each other and bond over Dobermans.
Tamica and Barry go on another date. They return to where they had their first date. Tamica says that Barry would stalk her when she was a cheerleader for the New Orleans Saints. Then one day one of his clients he was training asked if he had ever met her daughter. And it was Tamica!
Barry is finally ready to debut his fashion line of workout clothes. All the guys from the show are going to be models. And he needs a few girls.
Shotgun Wedding Plans
Kelsey and Justin are throwing a housewarming party. Both are worried that Tamica will be a bitch. Once again, Reagan wants to announce she is pregnant. And once again Reece wishes she would not. We finally get out first look at Jon Moody this episode.
Justin and Kelsey’s house is really pretty. So, of course Tamica keeps low key shading the place. Meanwhile, the guys work on their catwalks for the upcoming fashion show.

Things get awkward when Reece and Reagan arrive and Reece gives all of Jeff’s buddies a hug like they are all friends. But it is about to get even more awkward. Reagan is flashing her engagement ring that she bought herself. Reagan tells Kelsey that she is getting married in December. That just a month from now. Reece wanted to just fly to Vegas and do a cheap quickie marriage. Reagan is not having that. And if you thought the baby shower miscarriage party gender reveal shindig that Monique threw on RHOP was weird, Reagan’s wedding included a gender reveal! Media whores are a very strange breed. I’m just sayin’.
Like An Angel Kissing A Jellyfish?
Kelsey tells Reagan that she and Justin are on the opposite end of the spectrum they are taking things very slowly. Then Reagan whispers to her, “I’m pregnant.” And Kelsey is gobsmacked. Tamica asks Reagan if she has told Jeff. She says that she has not. Kelsey asks if she will be announcing it tonight and she says no. Reagan tells Tamica, Kelsey and Rachel that she wants them to be in her wedding. This pisses Tamica off because she can’t stand Kelsey. This is of course productions idea to have the bridesmaid’s war for the pre-wedding episodes
Jeff is kicking back the tequila. Jon asks Jeff how his date went the night before. He says it went great. He took her to a dive bar. Jon realizes that Jeff needs even more help with his game than he thought. Then Jeff calls the date, Alexandra, and tries to give Jeff a little bit of help. She will probably jump ship and be one of Jon’s conquests.
In Vino Veritas
Jeff continues to drink a shit ton of margaritas and tequila shots. Reagan and Reece have more public displays of affection. Tamica continues to stew over Kelsey. It’s a powder keg ready to go off. Jeff tells Reagan and Tamica that he just Facetimed his date from last night. She’s a Cajun girl. Tamica says if he had brought her to the party she would have totally meangirled her. Jeff says she cares for him more than she cares for Reagan. Reagan is standing right there. Awkward! He says everyone likes him better than Reagan. I know I do.

Jeff tells Reagan that he thinks she is going into a relationship with more problems than they had. Reagan says there are no problems in her life. That is a lie for anyone to say. Everyone has things they have to deal with in life. Jeff says she is running away from her problems. Tamica takes Jeff outside to speak privately. Or not so privately. She lays into Jeff saying he is faking it. Why is she such a bitch? Barry has to come over and mediate the situation. Then Kelsey comes over to tell Tamica she is disrupting the party with her drunken, loud conversation. She tried to move her outside and….. This Southern Charm NOLA recap is to be continued…
On the next Southern Charm NOLA recap, Jeff is shitfaced at the housewarming party, Barry has his fashion show despite a few hiccups. Reagan pushes Jeff to his breaking point.
I feel for Jeff, every time he turns around Reagan has another announcement. It’s way too much for anyone to deal with. Sorry not sorry but her guy is super creepy. If you have to buy your own ring chances are you’re not going to get any family money. She’ll move onto the next guy in a couple of years. There’s not enough money in this world for me to marry creepy guy. I wanted to see more of the haunted tour.
TT, I have been dealing with fireworks since May, So looking forward to Thursday (not).
It will be a triumphant day when Jeff wakes up and thanks his lucky stars he got away before Reagan got pregnant with him.
Watching next week previews, Jeff does another runner, which feeds into Reagan’s “issues and evaluation” of him. I think he can be difficult to live with and isn’t happy his now ex wife has moved on and she is seemingly happy for now. I don’t care for Reagan and I think she used Jeff and then some. He was always the back up plan and she never loved him. Reece, is still immature, and apparently has a gambling problem. So, I don’t think Reagan is going to get the happily ever after she is expecting. I say, though, you reap what you sow.
Reagan and Reece deserve each other. He is super thirsty for camera time and annoying but least he has enough sense not to make every group event about himself.
Jeff has some major issues but what does Tamika want from him?? I don’t think she’ll be happy until he has a full-on melt down right in front of her. It’s not her business how he deals with his marriage ending.
Jon Moody….. he’s full of himself but I don’t care. I freeze-frame his scenes on the DVR and bask in his shirtless glory.
I think Tamika wants him to admit he knew his now ex wife cheated on him with Reece. Tamika acts like she is itching to fight with a few folks.
Then again I think Reece is itching to spill it. He let it slip he has some gambling issues. I think they’ve all known that once Reagan moved out to
“prepare” for the bar, she was already moving on, backwards with Reece.
Poor Jeff having to film with his ex. I think he’s handling it pretty well considering. I would either be sobbing in a corner or throwing stuff if I had to film with an ex who had cheated on me and then was getting married and having a baby. And the ink is barely dry on their divorce, right? Anyways, his eyes are so beautiful and he totally makes my Sunday nights.
I find the whole time line suspect. I think she started seeing Reece before they every separated and I don’t think the pregnancy wasn’t planned. She wasn’t going to let him get away. He’s no prize and seemingly needs to be the center of attention. Although, I think Jeff has a very dark, moody side that can be scary. But, why not tell Jeff I am pregnant when she told him she was getting married?
Yup . For three months before she filed for separation . Since the guy Reece says they started dating October 2017.
Reagan states she and Jeff separated in mid 2017, they just kept it quiet. However, we know they were still having sex late 2017, Jeff thought that pregnancy scare at the end of the season would be his child.
I think in last seasons finally she was so happy not to be pregnant because it would have been Reece’s and she hadn’t broke the news to Jeff that she already left him until she found out about the “Southern Charm” opportunity. They would have all kicked Reagan to the curb from the jump if the production wasn’t paying them to pretend they still like her. I think the rest of the cast goes along with pretending to be her friend bc as long as they are hanging Reagan’s skeletons out to dry no one is looking for theirs.
Reece’s parents may be rich, hopefully they know about his gambling problems and refuse to give him their money to gamble away. Is Tamika’s life that miserable that she has to control every one else’s life? She is everyone’s business. Why does she think her opinions are correct, everyone has their own emotions. I would not want her to be my friend.
Tamika is a shit-stirrer…no doubt… but Kelsey is just ANNOYING.AF!!! It is Justin’s family home they re-did and that is bought from his parents…so why wouldn’t she say “our house” I really doubt her name is on the mortgage because he hasn’t said it is. I just cant with that girl. Just her face annoys me. I like Jeff but he is really scary/creepy when he gets wasted. The other guys (Barry, Justin, Jon) are dreamy…I love them and Rachel. I remember her from last season as being the voice of reason.
I agree with you about Kelsey. She was over the top on last night’s episode.
her VOICE!!! like fingernails on a chalkboard
I thought it was just me who was irritated by her and her voice. Omg when she starts whining is when I have to mute the sound.
Kelsey seems more into Justin then Justin is into her. Justin is a lawyer and he’s not dumb. Kelsey clearly wanted to put Tamica out. She spoke about putting someone out before any one arrived and it was clear she was talking about Tamica however, she had no right to put her hands on Tamica that’s crossing the line. In my opinion I don’t see Justin marrying her. If he does she better get ready to sign a prenuptial agreement. He’s clearly well established and he’s not going be willing to just hand over everything he’s worked hard for. She comes off as being desperate.
I totally agree. Don’t put your hands on me. Especially if the situation is already heated. She could have asked Tamica to go outside without touching her.
I like Rachel too.
Don’t like Reagan at all. She was with Reece well before she left Jeff. I hope Jeff finds the love of his life and he has multiple redhead babies. Cause Reagan and Reece won’t last long.
The thirst is real for Kelsey. Wish she could relax. I believe Barry made an attempt at correcting her about ownership – seems clear it is his.
Southern Charm New Orleans is everything. I love the camaraderie between the men. It is refreshing. This show should focus on the male bonding and the bromance of it all. They are more interesting than the women. Now Reese, is that odd duck thrown in with a group of roosters that are absolutely not feeling him at all. Hell, I am not feeling him at all either. He gives off an immature boyish vibes and appears to be moonstruck by Reagan. At least he was able to tap into a little common sense when he told Reagan he don’t want to be the “one up” couple making an announcement at every event. I am beginning to believe Jeff description of Reagan has being controlling. It definitely seeps through with her handling of Reese. Add 15 more year and more children to her mix and she will be a nightmare until death do they part.
Rachel McKenzie is the wife of a retired Saints player (she mentioned his brain issues last season) and knows the group. As for a commentator saying Reece’s family is very wealthy…eh, not so much.
From what I’ve read Reece’s family is not all that wealthy. He alluded to gambling issues in last night’s episode. Rumors out there say he has a gambling addiction and in some heavy debt because of it.
Exactly. I’m not saying anything negative about his financial stuff BUT it’s basic upper middle class like most of the Northshore of New Orleans. I mean the guy asking the voodoo lady for horse betting numbers MUST be a winner ?
The North Shore is not New Orleans. Covington is 30 miles from NOLA. Folsom, where Reece’s family is, is 45 miles. I live in NOLA and the North Shore is like a different planet.
It’s not?! Sweetie, not everyone here knows about Lake so I simplified it. I grew up in South Louisiana, New Orleans proper, and across the lake so please go be condescending somewhere else ?
*Lake Pontchartrain
I didn’t mean to be condescending, I was just stating the fact so maybe people who don’t live here could understand Covington and NOLA are nowhere near the same kind of place. I didn’t mean to personally offend you.
This is just sad. Regan or Jeff should have left the show, now we have some kind of social experiment. Hopefully it ends happily for both
Looks like Reagan went through this season’s filming schedule and planned out each all cast event to drop a new nugget, keeping the entire season focused on herself. So far we’ve had “almost divorced”, “divorced”, “meet the boyfriend”, “engaged”, and “pregnant”. All the while digging her heel into Jeff at every opportunity.
Reece said it best, seems like at every event, Reagan is trying to one up someone with her little nuggets.
Jeff…alcohol is not your friend.
The men on this show are for the most part extremely handsome. Jeff is an absolute sweetheart. I hope he finds love. That’s all. Also watching these men in various states of undress is like watching CINEMAX in the 80’s ! ???
Why does it seem so easy for numb nuts like Reagan and Reece to conceive?? Just what the world needs.
Jeff is gorgeous; I am a sucker for a blue-eyed ginger!
Um… me too! Especially when they’re super sized. And? He seems really sweet when Reagan isn’t around and or being discussed. I know I’m not too old but I think I’m way too old to think the things I think when I look at his pictures (so far, not watching, just following along with TT and friends).
Judy Blume needs to write a book about this confusing time in my life! “Are you there God? It’s me Margaret and I’m more confused than ever”.
I had to sneak Are You There God It’s Me Margaret and my mother flipped the fuck out and refused to let me read Judy Blume. This was I think AFTER I grew giant boobs and started my period.
I thought I was going to die when I got my period at age 11 or 12. I’d lived in Libya and just returned so there were no tampon commericials, we were are Southern Baptist. and there was no sex ed. So I had no idea that periods even existed. I thought I was going to die. My mom handed me a Kotex and muttered something about it all being a part of being a woman. I was already being mocked by the girls for the ginormous breasts. I needed the damn book. And once I got my hands on one, probably due to a great teacher, it helped.
Sorry. Oversharing. AGAIN. But I agree. I could use another book. Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret Dying All Alone With No Insurance.
I grew up Southern Baptist and the most my Mother did was hand me a pamphlet about growing up and said hide this from your Father. We my Monthly arrived just a couple months shy of my 12th birthday my Granny said, the curse has come, go to bed, keep your feet up, and the room dark as she handed me some old washcloths. My Mother, managed to give me a box of feminine protection and muttered make sure you put these in a separate bag and take them outside to the trash cans. Men don’t need to know.
I’m living for your recaps right now. I’m in Montana for 2 weeks helping my parents (who aren’t doing so well) clean their house and finish the remodel. They don’t have DVR ?
Thank you thank you thank you!!
Great recaps Tamara. This comment by Boujee Bee is everything: “Reese, is that odd duck thrown in with a group of roosters that are absolutely not feeling him at all.”
Yep! That comment deserves a gold star.
