Tonight’s Southern Charm Nola recap will likely be much more exciting than tonight’s RHOP Recap! (Update: Sunday night have three shows to recap so I set up the first paragraph and all the boring stuff up before the shows start. #RHOP was actually pretty good tonight!)After some scenes with Justin and Kelsey, we will head over to Jeff Charleston’s place for a Friendsgiving. One “friend,”Doug, will take that golden moment in time to inform him that Reagan is pregnant with Reece’s baby. By now, I think we all know that the reason Reagan didn’t want to be pregnant on the finale last season was because there would have been paternity issues. I wonder if Jeff will ever figure that out?
I didn’t recap the trip to the grocery story with Jeff and Benny Poppins because I didn’t want to miss a second of watching what Benny Poppins chose to buy. Because, I used to make a cornish hen around thanksgiving myself but I haven’t seen them lately. I think they got kind of a bad rap and no one eats them anymore. But I hope to see how Benny Poppins cooks them!
How Do You BURN Tea?
Better yet, how does Tamica not know how you make tea? You don’t boil a thing if you are doing it right. You want to heat the pot of water to right before it starts to boil. If it boils you take the lid off and let it cool just a bit. Then you take it off the heat and put the teabags in for 5-7 minutes. You don’t want your tea bags in boiling water ever. You certainly don’t put the tea bag in before heating the water. Just another annoying thing Tamica does.

Apparently, Tamica and Barry’s son got a speeding ticket going 79 on the Pontchartrain Bridge. Barry doesn’t know the difference between an odometer and a speedometer. These two are perfect for each other. This leads to a story about Barry getting thrown in jail by a police officer over a case of mistaken identity when he was young and left there for 13 hours.
Justin and Kelsy go on a date night. Kelsey wants Justin to slow down on his workload. It looks like Justin i also going to go for some therapy. She needs him to make their relationship as much of a priority as she does. Justin has commitment issues. Kelsey needs to set a firm time limit for herself.
Painting The Nursery
Things could be a lot worse for Kelsey. She could be pregnant by an idiot boy child who doesn’t seem to get what “painting the nursery”means. Who in their right mind would marry this fool? I have no words. Reagan thinks this behavior is cute.

Reece is functionally illiterate. What on earth does she see in this drunken moron with a gambling problem? The point of the bizarre, hopefully scripted, scene is to have Reagan let us know she is not going to tell Jeff she is pregnant. WTF? EVERYONE else knows. This is not a secret. He’s going to find out.
Lamb With Jon Moody
Jon Moody is making some lamb with asparagus for Barry and Justin. And of course a few random girls. Ah! He lied about the girls just to freak Barry out. Jeff was working. They talk about Barry’s son’s speeding ticket. That leads to talking about bad situations with cops. I want to back up and see how Jon made those chops but I don’t have time.
Friendsgiving
Jeff Charleston is all pumped up to have all of his friends over for Thanksgiving. Jeff has been on the wagon for week. So while he is serving alcohol, he is not partaking. He’s in a good place. For now. Reagan and the moron are NOT invited.

When Jeff and Reagan’s friend Doug gets to the party, he immediately pulls Jeff aside to tell him that Reagan is pregnant. What a douchebag. On the other hand, I am not buying this scene at all. He clearly knows. This is bad acting. Really bad acting.
I can’t even pretend to care about Reagan and Reece right now.
Jeff’s weird scarf is almost as ridiculous as the poor acting. Even Benny Poppins can’t act. But he can cook and I want that Cornish hen and most of all I want that maque choux. I make that all the time but it is never as good as the Cajun restaurant I used to go to in Athens, Georgia. That is where I got hooked on red fish. So good!
Eventually everyone is finally at the table to eat in awkward silence. Eventually, Jeff’s production cue to announce that he knows that Reagan is pregnant happens. Tamica tells us in a talking head that she thinks Jeff did know. How could he not? Everyone else in their friend group knew. Plus Reagan and Jeff had been spending time together. Tamica’s comments to Jeff cause him to throw his plate of food crashing to the ground and him storming off again. I think he is just mad that Tamica broke the fourth wall and all his poor acting was for nothing.
To Be Continued…
On next week’s Southern Charm Nola Recap, we will cover the aftermath of this staged scene. There will be pinatas filled with condoms, and a chat between Justin and his mother over his commitment issues. Barry has a talk with his son. Tamica tells Reagan she doesn’t want to be a bridesmaid. Tamica and Rachel confront Reagan at a Jon Moody event. Reagan reaches out to Jeff because she feels friendless.
In my exclusive report on Reagan and Reece’s wedding, Tamara Tattles exclusive sources reported that no one wanted to go to the wedding at all but were forced to go by production.
Glad I am not the only one who felt it was really bad acting. I hate staged scenes. Them sitting on the couch holding hands and their heads was soooooo awful.
I think Jeff did have an idea since they were rushing the wedding. I just can’t help feel sorry for him. It’s obvious the group is on Jeff’s side. Reagan is so wrapped up in herself . It’s your second wedding, give me a break!
I loved the scene with Moody and Barry and Justin. It reminded me of that cooking scene in Boomerang where Martin Lawrence cooks for David Alan Grier and Eddie Murphy, only Martin’s character’s “cooking” didn’t turn out (or look as good) as Moody’s.
I like Kelsey and Justin as a couple and hope through all of this (and his commitment issues) that they stay together and maybe take that next step.
Jeff and Benny shopping: I loved it. I noticed also how the cashier recognized Jeff and mentioned something to the effect of “you’re not buying booze/beer this time”. By way of the meal…with a house so big and a space (even a yard) that would allow for it–why not buy/own a bigger grill? HIs former marital home is essentially or could be a bachelor pad. Even Jeff mentioned “too many memories” or something about the house–sell and move, dude.
I know production showed a flashback (Halloween) of Jeff acknowledging, “I know”, but was that concerning the baby or the wedding?
I get that everyone knows Reagan is pregnant, but perhaps she herself should’ve admitted to Jeff, “Hey, I’m pregnant, too.” Did she? Did I just miss it somewhere?
It goes without saying (but I’m going to say it again), Justin, Barry, Moody, and even the viking are some fine men.
Oh my heart goes out to Jeff and his friend is NO friend. Sure he wanted to share the news but WHY at the TOP of the dinner party. Couldn’t he have waited until the END of the evening. I question his motive.
I thought the same thing at first, I was pissed…..But then when he said it would end up coming up….That kinda made sense since everyone there knew and someone might slip.
I think Jeff knew. I think he almost spilled the beans he knew to TV land back on the episode when he gave the bottle of champaign to Reagan in her room, maybe before the official Reece meeting? On a side note, I think Reece would be a perfect 4th to the man child trio from Savannah: Shep, Craig, and Austin.
Poor Jeff! not feeling that scarf but that color shirt looks good with his hair. I cook cornish hens all the time…they are quick and never seem to dry out like a chicken. I can find them at my Kroger or Walmart but we have two major Tyson plants near me so that may be why. TT…just check in the frozen food section near where you would find frozen turkey mine usually come in a double pack and I always keep them in my freezer. I don’t like Kelsey but I do feel sorry for her regarding all this stuff with Justin.
Does Reece reminds you all of anyone? Chris Kattan? Bobcat Goldthwait? He certainly comes off as an odd duck.
A chubbier, dopier version of Shep…
So on Twitter, Reagan said the scarf is hers.
Was Jeff being depressed or making a dig at Reece?
Now the scarf kind of makes sense. It’s like he wanted her support for his very poor acting skills. I do think Doug’s acting was way worse. Kelsey really pulled it off though!
Rachel had me dying when she kept on eating her food, while Jeff threw his plate. I want a Jon Moody painting, that one of Reagan was amazing. Sorry I’m not into Man Boy’s, why Reagan wants that project is beyond me. I see nothing “cute” about him.
I love Rachel ! That was so funny. I love the men too on this show !
Are there ANY photos of Jon’s runway look anywhere anyone??? Just wondering….
Absolutely love the show and Rachel! Make her a full time cast member!
I need a Benny Poppins in my life!
Me too.
He was that rich lady’s Butler last season. Looks like he has switched careers…
He painted stick figures on a wall while his pregnant fiancee carried in a crib!?! I can’t. I just can’t.
It didn’t occur to him???
“Not Baby Turkeys” “Definitely Not Owls” 😂 I’m sticking to subtitles from here on out. The acting on this unscripted reality show needs an award. I did enjoy the lamp chop segment though. Those three men… 😋
Watching this episode was funny at certain points and painful at others. It was sad watching Kelsey just be blase over her fiance Justin saying he was having serious surgery nerve.
I’m sorry but as someone who has trained to be a nurse if your going into a serious surgery concerning your nerves and you give me no fair warning this chick is going to come unglued on your behind.
Anything surgical on your neck or spine is a big deal and just like Kelsey said can be very painful and have long term effects and have debilitating
Long term pain.
I question Justin’s long term goals with Kelsey, and it makes me wonder if Tamika’s hesitance in accepting Kelsey doesn’t have some merit.
Maybe Tamika has seen this this behavior with Justin and knows Kelsey is just another girl and not a potential wife. Food for thought.
Watching John Moody make food for Barry and Justin was likely a porn made for us foodies. That man is so God damn tasty looking I would eat burned grits if he made it for me. Seriously Moody is delicious.
The scene of Jeff’s dinner just appeared incredibly staged. It’s very apparent he and Reagan are still extremely close and he definitely knew she was pregnant because Tamika never even flinched when Jeff exploded.
This episode was way too predictable, and I hope they go back to their old ways of letting the cast flow with each other instead of convicted story lines, plus I absolutely love seeing the men cast members flow together. It’s fun and it doesn’t hurt that every male cast member wets my panties except for the vagina recoiling Reece.
I totally agree with you regarding Kelsey and Justin. Unfortunately, I do not see a happy ending for Kelsey.
I thought the shit Kelsey was saying to Justin was awful!
I now have decided I don’t like her at all.
I’m pretty sure all Moody did was put coarse salt on those lamb chops.
I really did like that painting of Reagan.
The painting of Regan has more class than she does.
Wasn’t Benny Poppins that lady’s butler last season? Seems to me like production is trying to fit this guy in somewhere and figure out the right place.
Did Reece suffer a head injury that lead to permanent brain damage? I want to make fun of him, but holy crap it feels like there’s seriously something really wrong with him that was diagnosed, but the family ignores it and carries on like he’s normal.
And I went digging for info on Reagan. I found an old blog where her mother was spewing venom at comments stating Reagan isn’t from New Orleans and isn’t part of the Peychaud family. Her mom busted out some convoluted lineage BS which was so confusing that I got a headache and I do ancestry and family lineage research all the time. Suffice to say Reagan’s mom’s post just lead me to believe the lady doth protest too much and perhaps there isn’t a blood connection to the Peychaud’s, but what do I know?
Then I dug deeper and saw posts from an even older blog where Reagan was allegedly a contestant on American Idol back in 2011 under her maiden name Reagan Tucker? (sorry if you’ve reported on this already, TT…i had never read this anywhere.) I couldn’t help but hum the song Act Naturally when I saw she’s already done the reality show crap years ago and I think was when she first started dating Jeff.
I still like Kelsey. She seems like a strong woman who is dangerously close to cutting bait and no longer fishing in Barry’s Lake. When you’re in that position you tend not to be genteel and ladylike. #GoKelseyGo
Jon Moody. I want to adopt him. Hell. I’ll adopt Jon Moody, Jeff Charleston, and Benny Poppins right now! I’ll throw Patricia Altschul-esque parties with men only and those three can cook while I drink whiskey milk punches! I need to practice teasing my hair into a Patricia Do and stock up on muu muus (caftans for the snooty…heh…)
Could we cut back on scenes with the women and replace them with more pix of NOLA? Of course keep all the scenes with the men. #HubbaHubba
OK, I must be the only person watching that didn’t get that Jeff already knew about the pregnancy and was just acting. Which only reaffirmed that Tamica is just a pushy obnoxious vapid shell of a woman. What a bumpkin Reese is! Is there any proof he graduated from High School? Junior High? What a jerk. I get that Reagan wants to act like he’s the best thing since sliced bread, but surely she is seething underneath, wondering what in the world she has signed herself up for.
