Let’s go to Colorado! In tonight’s Southern Charm recap, we head to Colorado for a ski trip. The ladies all seem to be in a good place with each other. It is the guys that will be a problem. Speaking of the ladies, whatever happened to “Craig’s assistant” Anna Heyward? Is she off somewhere running the pillow company? But before we get to Colorado, we have to tie up a few loose ends in Charleston.
Shep Rose is apparently going to invest in more than just plane tickets for those who slide into his DMs and blow, ALLEGEDLY. He and Cameran go to look at a 3.5 acre plot of land on Jame Island for $900K. The thing is, he has already made an offer and Cameran has not seen the property before, so this is just a major insult to Cameran. Basically, he is showing her what he is buying using another agent. Who does that? I mean it is fine to use whatever agent you want, but this feels like rubbing the lost commission in Cameran’s face.
Cameran is not impressed with the land. Shep seems to be buying a pig in a poke since he doesn’t seem to think it is a flood zone. It’s an island property on a marsh. I find it impossible to believe it’s not in a flood zone. Cameran says it is a money pit. We shall see. I think the price seems a bit high. And Shep needs to be closer to a bar lest he risk a DUI. They talk about the Colorado trip and Shep is peeved that Madison is invited. He remains butthurt that she rebuffed his advances.
Under Control, Out of Control
Naomie and Metul take their nomance to a coffee shop where Metul tries to control what Naomie orders. I pointed out he was a huge control freak in my spoilers for this season. He’s doing nothing to change my mind. Are this will result in consequences for Naomie but financially, and with regard to having to film a one on one with Ashley. She is lucky they gave her this filler scene so she would get paid for the episode. Metul looks like he’d rather be anywhere else.

Craig has a college friend that comes for a visit and offers to help him with the manufacturing of his pillows. But only if Craig is willing to put in the effort to get everything going. I really don’t believe Craig is as lazy as this show always depicts him to be. Just like Kathryn wasn’t really spending $9K a month on rent or buying a Rolls Royce. The apartment was an advertisement in preparation for sale. Kathryn didn’t even like the house it had way too many stairs for her and her children. And the invoice for the Rolls Royce was not real either.
Fake News
Speaking of Kathryn, and fake news, she and Whitney meet up for lunch to stir up the fake storyline that they hooked up. Whitney says, “We have different interpretations of events.” Whitney is flattered that people think that they have hooked up though. Then, they talk about Ashley showing up at the plantation last week. Kathryn was not there as she was attending her brother’s wedding. In other fake news, Kathryn says that Patricia just texted her. Kathryn and Patricia do not talk during the off season. With Thomas Ravenel’s criminal charges and Ashley Jacobs abhorrent behavior, Patricia needed someone to film with. That is where Kathryn and Madison come in.

Why does the title of this episode imply that we are going to finally get to Colorado and we are almost halfway in only to have a dinner scene with Austen and his parents? There was literally no point for this scene.
Anger Issues
At least we are doing the packing scenes now. It always amazes me that these people don’t know how to pack. Shep pretends to tell his minder, Tony about little Craig’s habits. Like he sleeps in his crate until six a.m. As if Shep gets up to let the dog out at six a.m. That is about the time he gets home from his nightly escapades. Tony takes care of that dog. And Shep. This is literally a two day trip and Kathryn’s suitcase weighed 42 pounds. It’s just pure insanity to me.

In the Denver airport, Austen and Madison hug each other and he attempts to flirt with her. Shep can’t stand it. As Cameran says, those two are totally going to bang. Did they just say they are taking a seven hour bus ride to their final destination? No wonder Whitney doesn’t want to take a bus. Craig jumps all over Whitney for his usual pretentiousness. However, this time I agree with Whitney. I’m not doing a seven hour bus ride through the Rockies in winter. When Chelsea points out that Craig’s level of aggression toward Whitney seems a bit much, he replies that he will never speak to Chelsea again. Which seems a bit much.
Just Get On The Bus, Gus!
What is wrong with our Craig? Morning drinking on the plane? Craig storms off from the group. They reunite on the bus. It’s a very nice bus. Craig on the other hand is not being very nice. He is tearing in to Whitney. All the things he is saying are true but should have been said to both Shep and Whitney when they were being asshats to Austen and Craig at the restaurant a few episodes back. Whitney has done nothing to warrant this tirade today. Stop ruining everyone’s vacation, Craig! This is going to be a long bus ride.

Whitney and Cameran decide to bail on the bus. This is all storyline. Whitney never planned to take the bus and Cameran always manages to weasel her way into to his “producer upgrades.” Then, Craig bails on the bus after Chelsea tries to straighten out his attitude. He’s taking an Uber? That seems unlikely. Apparently, the bus ride is “only” four hours. That’s still to long to tolerate Craig’s current mood. It seems that production told everyone to get back on the damn bus. Cameran is assigned to babysit Craig.
Make A New Plan, Stan
There first stop is to a weed dispensary. Craig is excited to go in but he can’t smoke because he is an attorney. Say what? First of all he is a pro bono attorney a few hours a week. That is admirable. Bu,t there is no law that says attorneys can’t smoke a little ganga in states where it is legal.
Kathryn reminds us that weed is what made her lose her kids and have to go to rehab. While we are on that subject, I am purposely ignoring Thomas Ravenel’s endless distributions of court documents to The Blast and that shithole site regarding their custody battle. He’s going head long down the smear campaign path as part of his sexual assault defense. He is trying to claim that she failed a drug test. She did not. She uses CBD oil along with her prescriptions for her other health issues including anxiety. He’s furiously building a house of cards defense that will completely fall apart in court.

Back at the pot store, Shep buys a shit ton of stuff. There is apparently and 25.25% tax on pot. Wow! Shep’s total bill comes to $192, Craig, Madison, Kathryn and Cameran stayed on the bus and did not go inside.
And Get Yourself Free!
After fourteen hours of travel, they finally arrive at their destination. There are two houses that are side by side. They are both really nice houses. After everyone claims a bed, Shep, Austen, Craig and this random dude named Don go out to a restaurant. WTF is Don? I guess he is one of the producers. They guys literally order everything on the menu. It doesn’t matter because Bravo is paying.
Shep is even more disgusting than usual because he apparently ate a half a bag of edibles before heading out. He asks Austen if he is going to get “honey on his stinger” tonight. Shep doesn’t know how to pronounce charcuterie.

Meanwhile, Madison and Kathryn are in the hot tub talking about Austen. Madison says that Austen is her third boyfriend since she was 18. He’s her best friend and she’s having trouble separating from him. After dinner, Austen and Craig join the girls in the hot tub. The have some sort of a water gun that screws into the champagne bottle. Basically, they are wasting perfectly good champagne. Austen and Madison go in the house first and head to their separate rooms. For now.
Next week’s Southern Charm recap highlights include: a variety of skiing abilities, Kathryn shows Danni “receipts” about her fake hookup with Whitney, Shep continues to try to cock block Austen from Madison, Shep hits on Madison again, some of the crew has pasta with THC at dinner, the ridiculous storyline between Kathryn and Whitney escalates.
We have producers call the restaurant all the time and want to film. We do not let them film.
They try to make it sound like they are doing us a favor and then offer to pay something ridiculous like $15 a person.
This producer driven stuff is just getting ridiculous. Shep looks worse and worse in each episode.
You should negotiate. Email me. I know what they pay.
So far not impressed with Metul and the crazy ‘he’s the man of my dreams’ wackiness Naomie gets around him. “Yes, Metul”. “No Metul, you’re right I should do as you say.” Seriously girlfriend you should have eaten the cookie
They are perfect for each other. She should get off the show if she doesn’t want to be around Craig. Naomi was not happy when her perfect man was called controlling.
Watching Naomi getting told what to do & when to do it by Metul is giving me life. So hard on Craig to conform to her ideals now the shoe is on the other foot. How’s it feel Naomi ?
Craig was wound up. I wonder what set him off.
He has been erratic this season. The good news is Craig’s discomfiture amuses Shep, so that Shep forgets to constantly dog his friend.
Metul is a dismissive creep and totally not worth missing the trip for. Classic manipulator move to isolate her from “inferior” friends who don’t meet his high standards. BARF. Our Craig was lashing/acting out bc Naomie wasn’t there and he’s disappointed he won’t have those two days around her – that soul crushing disappointment that comes with pining for someone. 🙁 Awful behavior but he’s still a gem and can do better than Naomie, and she can do better than her tool. I hope they both find better matches. “Check your vagina; I have a bigger dick” is a problematic takedown but I still enjoyed it. I love Chelsie. The 4:20pm timestamp and Cam’s “Let’s roll!” as they left the dispensary — LOL.
I do not like Matul. At All. and Tamra Don is Eliza’s boy friend. and Craig and Shep were totally stoned at dinner. had the munchies.
Eliza has a boyfriend ! I had no idea she was with Don. I usually go to the rest room , fold laundry or other sundry tasks when she is on screen. After her high appraisal of T. Rav I could care less what that imbecile has to contribute to the show. This season of Southern Charm is not up to par. Love Chelsea Katherine & Craig but Cameron Whitney & as always Shep are really being tools this season. Boring dull as dishwater tools.
Great production tis episode.
I do not like Metul either. When he was saying, “Diabetes in cellophane,” as he passed by all the food most folks eat. I know we are a fat, wealthy country, but damn it sucks to be called out on it by an anesthesiologist. Naomie must be dickmatized — Metul is too cocky and annoying.
Some guy tells me I can’t eat a cookie and he’s out.
Something is wrong with Craig.
No kidding! What grownup wants someone to tell them what to eat? Poor Naomie.
Naomi is eating crow . No room for cookies. Mean as Monday to Craig now it’s all coming back to her. Like they say Karma is a bitch so I dont have to be one. I never liked her attitude & thought she was fortunate to be Craig’s girlfriend. He dies not have a mean bone in his body. Unlike Metul who is petty af.
No snark, just wondering, why is that a problematic take down?
I think it might be seen as problematic since Chelsea equates Craig’s perceived moodiness with “having a pussy” and “being a bitch” – female traits. She then equates her own fortitude and apparent toughness with “having a big dick” – male trait. Sends even the most minor feminist into a tizzy.
Yeah what Jill said. That’s what I meant by “problematic.”
I think Craig is jealous of Whitney because of the hookup whit Kathryn. She hooked up with everyone but Craig and I think he likes her.
Kathryn and Craig have hooked up. And Whitney bats for the other team.
Really!!?? Wow thanks for sharing. I don’t know why but the “other team” announcement just shocked me. It just never occurred to me for some reason.
And I was wondering why Amanda stated the obvious. Now I know.
I loved your blind item on Whitney I just can’t fathom any self respecting gay man putting up with the delusions of grandeur & pretension of that God awful man. I know he’s got the cash but that’s all he’s got going for him. Seems unlikely he would be anyone’s version of a life partner.
Whitney has never struck me as someone looking to fulfill the dream of having a life partner. His affect is always flat. I get that he has to lie for his storyline and that alone could account for his lack of personality but I think at some point by now we’d have seen a sliver of his heart after all these years. I just don’t understand the deep cover operations in this day, especially if you have any input into the program and players. He seems very dark and cloaked. I don’t know if this makes me more sad or angry, alot of both, that’s probably why we see what we see from him too…I guess it makes me more sad.
I don’t envy Whitney’s role on SC but once again, across the board on Bravo’s “reality” shows, we just don’t see reality.
That is a lot of travel time for a two day trip! I would want to stay longer after so much effort to get there.
I was exhausted for them!
So I screenshoted sheps purchases for this 2 day trip and he bought edibles, 3.5gs of flower, and 5g of shatter, which for non potheads is freebasing marijuana… no vegetation matter left pure oil/pure THC… as a HEAVY cannabis user I
Could make this last a month
Truth
The extra person on the trip is not a producer. He is Don “Eliza Limehouse BF.”
Really? Was Eliza there? I am swamped with shit to do by tomorrow. Why would he be there if she was not?
This is just me guessing here but maybe the trip was scheduled for a certain amount of people. Naomi’s refusal to go left an open slot. Is it possible that production was thinking they could fill Naomi’s place with Eliza and KD put her 2 cents in on that? Sooo, Don is their 3rd choice?
Eliza was there
The much older boyfriend right? She likes her men to be older and rich as well.
Once again, what is the point of having Eliza and Don on this show? Lame.
Seriously! If I have to hear her talk about her last name one more time I’m going to stab myself.
Shep comes across as a pompous a-hole, whitney is just plain odd and awkward as usual, the limehouse girl and her boyfriend are clearly just seat fillers at this point, since Thomas isn’t on the show. Austen has about as much common sense as a bag of rocks, Cam annoyingly does everything Whitney does cuz hes a producer of the show and she realizes she adds zero storyline to the show at all, naomi s boyfriend is not all that like she keeps making him out to be and she just seems like shes one of those girls who can’t ever be alone. The only two people i even like anymore on the show are Chelsea and Craig because they speak their minds and call people out, although Craig is a man child, at least he’s not as hopeless as Shep.
FYI: Now that pot is legal in California, the tax is a whopping 32% or so. However, if you have a medical marijuana card, you “only” get taxed around 24%.
The more you know… ?
Still a bargain, and it is safe and legal.
The places I go to don’t charge a tax if you have a medical card.
I inquired about lower sales taxes here in California with a medical marijuana card. I was told that I needed to fill out and submit a form along with a check for $100. That would allow me to pay less in taxes at the dispensaries. If I remember correctly that was something that needed to be done once a year. That form plus $100 every year, what a joke!
The “doctors” that I go to only charge $25-35 for a year prescription.
Cameran was being a mean girl the first time she got on the bus. She enlisted Whitney to antagonize Craig. When she got the reaction she wanted to elicit, she ran out the bus as if she were the aggrieved. It was disappointing to watch. I don’t like how they pick on Craig. Looks like jealousy of his natural good looks and charisma to me.
He is truly a sweet natured individual & the others are not. He’s not perfect but no one is.
Totally agree. And I hope his pillow business does so well that Cameran, Naomi & Shep have egg all over their faces.
Craig is a drunk and it is getting worse. Very obvious. Good for Chelsea to finally call him out on it.
Out of all these drunks, you think CRAIG is the main one? Have you seen Shep? Our Austen?
I’m probably wrong but I just don’t get Naomi and Mutool. (See what I did there?). I really get the vibe she’s trying to convince herself he’s the one. But as they say…the lady doth protest too much. I just feel like I’ve know chicks on the rebound who glom onto the next boyfriend and try to force the fairytale.
I think Naomi thinks he’s the one but I sense he’s not all that in to her. I suspect his parents have someone picked out for him.
She wants to be married to medicine. She thought she had a lawyer….
Whitney reminds me of Kevin Spacey…another lever of creepy!
I used to love Cameran now she is annoying the crap out of me, always fluffing her hair every second and thinks she’s above everyone, when she’s as basic as they come. Kathryn is the only interesting person on this show these days and next for me would be Chelsea. Craig is my favorite and his rant about Whit and Shep being trusta-farians is spot on. They constantly try to gaslight Craig and he’s finally catching on. Wish he would move on from his love of Lame-omi and get a better girl he could bring into this group. If Ma-tool showing up dressed exactly like his girlfriend isn’t a sign, I don’t know what is? Madison’s got a Rockin body, dang!
I don’t care how lazy Craig is….I would still prefer him to Naomi’s Tool by far.
He is f’ing awful.
I didn’t dislike Madison at all last night. Having champagne sprayed in your eyes with a power washer (I know it wasn’t) would hurt like hell I would imagine.
I was kinda pissed at how prudish they were about weed, especially since you know they all must smoke it, or at least have done it. Phony assholes.
LMFAO…..I guess Shep hasn’t heard of Global warming and the ocean levels rising. What an idiot buying that land! I hope he builds a huge house and it gets flooded and washed away.
@ZZZ With him in it? lolol
We can hope!! ?
definitely agree with all commenters about Naomie and Mehtul: she is glomming on to him because he’s a doctor and she thinks she’s not gonna do any better. Truthfully I am not sure what she brings to the table especially on the show. Maybe the plot with her and Mehtul becomes a good story as we watch the depths she will sink to to hang on to a guy who seems like a total jerk. Telling her she can’t cook, don’t eat this, this is how normal relationships are…please. he’s probably bad in bed too.
Craig is and always will be endearing to me. Maybe not a good catch but good candidate for this show. He is entertaining.
Whitney thinks he’s too good for this show. He’s gross.
Danni is a doll and I am glad she’s back as she has way more personality than Naomie.
Cameran is drop dead gorgeous and a good moderating influence on the rest of the cast.
Shep is really getting a bad edit this year-he’s coming across as a misogynist. Also -listening to his podcast-he maintains he can’t find the right woman. Here’s some advice Shep-they don’t really make women like your mom anymore. Stop dating 20 somethings who are as self involved as you are. Date a woman in her 30s or 40s who understands compromise and can put up with your bs and let you be the star of the show.
When did Craig pass the South Carolina bar?
A mile after the dispensary…
Lol, thanks for that!
I love Craig though, he was on WWHL last night, so damn cute , the pillow game had me crushing on him something terrible over here!
I like him too!
It makes sense why Kathryn didn’t go into the weed store. I’m sure with all the legal goings on with that man she produced children with it would bite her in the ass. Craig didn’t go because of Kathryn, and Cameran I can’t see enjoying a release like the weed. Maybe Madison didn’t partake on camera because she has a little boy?
@beerandy – I thought it was unkind to put the weed store into the episode considering Kathryn’s former struggles with it. Really unkind. But I know it’s all about drama/ratings/$$.
Obviously they do not care about an individual…..only $$$ and storyline
Agreed. I am not a fan of KD at all but that was very insensitive. Kind of like production planning a visit to a winery during ‘KD’s trip’. Are they trying tempt her? She’s make poor decisions. She Should stop seeking the spotlight and concentrate on making healthy choices. Wasn’t she in talks about another reality show before southern charm that fell through. Seems like she wants to be a Kardashian – famous for no reason.
@Squeezy – Clearly I have no life because I worry about Kathryn. I think she needs to be healthier. I don’t think she eats well or exercises and depends on her youth to stay looking good. More importantly, she’s gonna need to take of those sweet kids and I have no idea what she would do to put bread on the table. Reality shows don’t last forever — or at least who would want to live that way??
Oh right — alot of reality $tar$.
But it gives her scenes with her refusing, making her look mature, which could help her?
I miss Naomi’s old nose, she was gorgeous now she just looks like everyone else.
Maybe it will grow back like NeNe’s!
37% tax on marijuana here in WA. Of course no one can explain where that money goes. I found it a bit odd that they all went to the dispensary to begin with. People are entitled to make their own choices, but it just seemed rude with KD there. Especially with the allegations from TR that coworkers/production buy drugs for her. I feel like this will be in his next affidavit.
Every attorney that I know smokes weed. You know Craig did it off camera. I dated a guy just like Metul, he first wanted me to constantly have my hair done, then it was he wanted my nails done (either pink or red) then it was he wanted me always dressed nice. He then tried to isolate me from my friends and family. I kept bending for him but he wasn’t bending for me. I finally had it when he said I couldn’t eat a cupcake. I had finally had enough and I told him that i was a grown a$$ woman and I’ll eat anything and everything I want. We broke up and I told him that he needed either a mail order bride or someone extremely young so he could mold into what he wanted. Naomi should run cause it will only get worse. Guy’s like that are never happy until they can control a 100% of you.
I love how Chelsea put Craig in his place.
I am with you Prycer…I have had an neutral opinion on Metul…but NOBODY tells me what to eat…gawdallmighty…it is just a freaking cookie…and I am not liking how she thinks she is lucky “she made the cut” …..YOU ARE WORTHY GIRL!!!
The ex douche bag would eat a whole bag (not the small bag but large) of potato chips every day day but had a fit cause I wanted 1 cupcake. The funny things is that the shop was closed and never got it. He caused a huge argument for 2 days. I was done after that.
@Prycer – I am sooooo glad you had to sense to leave that loser in the dust.
Although I’ve been regularly watching your site for info about the deluge of stories coming out of Thomas against Kathryn, I understand why you aren’t getting in the fray. I’ll wait patiently for the whole story to be made public.
Oh his karma is coming hopefully hes a manipulative abuser with a coke problem who thinks hes above the law and everyone in general. Hes grasping at straws at this point. He reminds me of a drunk uncle who
you always stay away from.
I dont follow this show too much. But all I can say is ashley needs her ass beat. Shes a deplorable human being. I dont particularly care for anyone on this show accept for the blonde one. Dani I believe her name is. She is very sweet. It would take a lot out of me not to beat ashley. Not nice but the truth. Her and thomas make me sick. They think they are fooling people… they arent.
I usually like Craig but these flip outs in the last couple of episodes are so cringy to watch. Not a good look. Please stop with the pillows, his alleged laziness (I believe that he’s adulting just fine off camera) and anything having to do with being a lawyer… The only believable story line circling Craig s that he misses Naomi, who has totally lost her way trying to impress Metul. I do find it funny how hot the girls think Metul is – it’s like they’ve never seen a brown man before. He looks pretty average to me! I also believe that Austin & Madison are going to bone in Colorado. I’m not sold on any other story this show is trying to sell right now. I am happy to see Kathryn’s style in the last few episodes! She’s such a beauty.
I’m worried about Kathryn after reading the latest filings from Thomas about drug abuse. Tamara, do you have any insight into this?
Yes, it’s not true. The only drugs in her system were two prescribed meds and CBD oil.
