It’s time for what I think will be the penultimate episode of this season of Southern Charm. But, before we get to my Southern Charm recap, I have several bits of real time news. First of all, the reunion was taped today (or maybe yesterday I’ve been awake for about five hours today as I am currently a night nurse for Banjo and time is a hazy concept).
Secondly, I mentioned this in comments on the Southern Charm recap but since some people rob themselves of the comment section (AKA the best part of the site) I shall reiterate. Shep is a human scumbag. Not just because he is an entitled walking STD who seem to REALLY over estimate the white male privilege thing, it seems he manages to find a way to be more despicable EVERY DAMN DAY.

Shep posted an IG that I chose not to repost of him heckling a female homeless person. She kept begging him to stop filming her and he kept on laughing. She had collected seven or so huge bags of aluminum cans to earn some cash. They were in huge see through bags. He thought the double entendre of “You’ve got great cans!” was so spectacular he decided to scream it at her while laughing over and over. Meanwhile, she is covering her face and saying NO! over and over and curling into a ball. It was horrific. And when people chastised him for he said she laughed and it was fine. Then he came after people for pointing out what a narcissistic piece of shit he is.
Anyway,the other news today is that Kathryn had a really bad wreck last Friday. She was on highway 17 which is the old coastal highway that I prefer over I-95 when roadtripping the eastern coast. It’s very busy in the Charleston area. She says she was distracted by the kids in the back seat and veer off into the opposite flow of traffic, ran into a guard rail, went off the road, mowed down three trees and hit two light posts.

Amazingly, no other vehicles were involved. No one was hurt and she talked her way out of a ticket. Apparently, Thomas found out when it ran on the local news. This is NOT GOOD for her custody case. Especially since Thomas has video surveillance from his PI of her being unable to leave the south of Broad house without sideswiping the shit out of a parked car. UGH.
And Now… On With The Recap!
In the fucked up mental state I am in, seeing that we start on James Island with Chelsea and her dad is the best thing ever. Can we just have an hour of this please? I want to be Chelsea. Or maybe date her dad. You know if he wasn’t married. Chelsea was thinking about going into business with Madison. Until, Colorado. Her dad said to go it on your own. I agree.

Meanwhile, Kathryn and meet her truelove, Hunter Price. But can we talk about how she has giant posters of herself ALL OVER THE HOUSE? At least be tasteful and get a portrait done my an artist or something. Maybe with your kids. But these glamour shots side by side by side are a bit obnoxious. Sorry, girl. Love you. You still have a lot to learn. And why is she talking like that in her talking heads? It’s like some weird Kim Kardashian whisper.
The point of this Duck Kong Feet ( you can’t make this shit up) sandwich scene is to tell Danni about her meeting with Madison. And to learn what Tally Ho! most certainly does not mean. Oddly, Eliza does know what it means. Then Eliza reminds me reminds me why I don’t like her. She invites Trashley to the fox hunt.
#ChlamydiaGate
I forgot about this entire debacle. Craig and Austen meet up to talk about the fallout of Austen telling Madison about Shep’s STDs. Frankly I feel like Shep is walking human sack of STDs. Cameran is going to get a contact STD just by filming with him. Yet, she films with him. Shep is not drinking in this scene. Perhaps it doesn’t mix well with his Chlamydia meds. Cameran co-signs all of Shep’s nastiness. Then she coaxes him to out Austen’s “sexual deviance” on national TV. He doesn’t need much coaching. I don’t speak Shep but apparently Austen spelled out buttsex in rose petals on the bed and Madison said yes.
QUELLER HORREUR! DROWN THEM BOTH! I think most people have had butt sex with far less fanfare. These two suck ass. Probably, literally. Who are they to sit on their sanctimonious high horses?

Then Austen and Madison go out for a nice dinner. Austen is feeling upset by Madison betraying his trust for the second time. But then he professes his undying love for her. Austen had a scene with Craig earlier where he said that Madison is who he would save in a world ending situation. Craig seemed hurt. Of course this is all overly produced. Madison loves him too. They kiss. Then they “break up” after filming.
Hunting Nonexistent Foxes
Say what you will about Eliza, and I talk plenty of shit about her, but she is a billion times more southern that Patricia. She is everything Patricia wishes she was. Shep takes the newest chick with STDs, Bailey to the plantation. Oh, I think Bailey might have stopped sleeping with Shep. She may be STD free.
Austen and Cameran ride together despite her urging Shep to tell him salacious secrets about Austen. I have loved Cameran since the Real World days. But I think she’s turned into a piece of shit too. The tension between Shep and Austen is real. Everyone is plied with alcohol. It think scuppernong wine was passed. It truly does taste like cough syrup. But scuppernong jelly is great.

Aaron Rothman (producer) went all out for Trashley’s wardrobe. Meanwhile, Kathryn paid for her own and is not selling it somewhere. So if you are her size try and find it. She spent insane amounts on her wardrobe this season. Anyway, basically everyone chickened out on Tally Ho-ing and road on the wagon instead. This may be the longest Shep has ever been on the wagon. Eliza is the only one riding. Kathyrn and Danni missed the entire hunt and showed up just in time to eat. How do you miss a fox hunt?
Craig is dressed as a Russian babushka.
A Pall Falls Over The Event
For the first time all season I am enjoying a genuine southern event. And I am not in a good way to this is amazing. Then sadly the dogs lose the scent. And the stench of Trashley surfaced. UGH. Why is Cameran suddenly Team Kathryn. Oh yeah, Cameran Whore. Got it.
CLICK HERE FOR MY FOUR POST SERIES OF SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON
HOW DID I DO?
The showdown between Kathryn and Trashley goes down. I can’t even breakdown this little whore’s lies. Kathryn isn’t buying it. Kathryn eventually just walks away from her bullshit.
Then the requisite scene with Austen and Shep happens. Neither are likable. Who the fuck cares? Shep is a disgusting piece of shit and his opinion of ANYONE’S relationship is completely irrelevant. He can’t even FORM a relationship. Fuck Shep.
Next week it is the final Southern Charm recap of the season. Click the above spoilers link to see how that all works out.
I have to admit…I liked Shep. I just thought he was a goofy lush. No more. I feel that he showed his true colors by tormenting that woman. I feel that his elitism made him feel like he could say whatever he wanted. I won’t watch Southern Charm again.
I used to really like this show but now I skip the episodes and only read your amazing recaps. There is nothing charming about most of these cast members as most of them are narcissistic douchebags. It’s not even fun to watch anymore.
I actually really enjoyed this episode minus Shep and Trashly. They should so get married and rid off to their STD ridden sunset.
I hope you and your puppy dog are on the mend. Fleas are brutal. Have you tried Capstar? It kills them within 30 minutes and is safe to use daily. My St. Bernard, Rufus, has sensitive skin and he had fleas once and the vet recommended Capstar. She told me to give him one pill and if fleas remain, give him one the next day. Wait a full day and then apply K9 Advantix. It worked and he has been flea free since. Good luck…
I wish they would have more scenes with Eliza, Danni, and Craig. They are my top 3 on Southern Charm.
I enjoyed the show tonight.
Like Shep has never had butt sex.
I lived what Kathryn wore to the hunt, I love most of what she wears. At this point it’s not even that Ashley disgusts me but that I feel pity for her. She is so fucked up and mental and I just hope she somehow gets some help. The first few seasons I really liked Shep and and his aw shucks boyish charm, then it was the evolution that happened. It was ever so slow but if you take season 1 Shep and this Shep it’s totally different. I love Chelsea, I love her sense of self and I love how relaxed of a friend she is and how she is pretty damn loyal. Eliza has grown on me, and her boyfriend is so mellow.
I want to like your comment forever and ever LA_in_KY. There is not even gold in the world to convince me that they ALL haven’t ever done butt sex. And really? Why is that such a shocking secret or scandalous thing? FFS people, it’s 2019. Get off your damn puritanical high horse.
I admit it wasn’t shocking news to me that he wanted buttsex, a lot of guys do, or that she agreed, what to me was the shocking news is that Austen had the cojones to actually go for what he wanted like that. It’s like they say, you ain’t getting nothing you ain’t tried for. And apparently he got 100 percent of what he asked for…good for him. You know, this isn’t an issue for gay people in general when we meet someone we like, and we want to have sex with, one of us just initiates the negotiation process “You wanna?”, “Sure”, “So, what are you into…?” and poof we’re getting it done. Sure it can run the gamut from mild to wild but hey, everyone knows what’s on the table generally.
Shep probably brought it up because he seems like a dude that never learned to ask for what he wanted in bed other than simple missionary. Maybe he’s jelly, and hatin.
The important part of your scenario was the “you wanna?” part. Shep doesn’t do that step. He does what he wants. Because he’s entitled. Thus his confusion over someone else stating what they are into and seeking a reaction.
Ha! Good point.
Austen saying to Shep, “I wish I didn’t feel this way about her, but I do”
Ummm, no.
Those 2 are a pair of dbags…Shep and wannabeShep.
I wonder if they can recast? Like Real Life on Mtv? Although I doubt there is a new crop of young socialites willing to subject themselves to the Bravo treatment…
That video Shep posted was so sad. I don’t like Shep and haven’t made a secret of that. But, I really didn’t think he was so self-unaware to first, think it was funny second, to post the video (I thought he’d take it down when he sobered up) and third, to defend the video by tweeting horrible things to people who thought the video was horrible. It wasn’t until People magazine published a story about it that he finally tweeted a weak I’m-sorry-you-feel-that-way apology.
Will Andy mention it?
Trying to find a positive … the homeless woman did such a good job of collecting those cans. If all of those cans were nickel refunds she made a good bit of money that day and cleaned up NYC. She did it herself instead of living off her parents and bragging about how much better than everyone else she is. I bet people find her and give her some form of support. Most people are decent human beings. Does anyone know if anything like that has happened for her???
What that SOB should have done was taken her to the recycling center, doubled her money, bought her a hotel room with laundry facilities and bought her dinner and breakfast. Sorry to Mama Shep, I am sure she is a lovely lady and he is the bane of their existence.
NavyMom, yes, yes, yes. The woman was so embarrassed. Most sane homeless people struggle to maintain their dignity out there and Shep stripped the woman of hers. I actually “feel” towards a reality person and it is disgust. Shep sure hates sharing his toy that is Austin. Austin doesn’t understand it is not Madison personally but any female especially those women who don’t like him/Shep. Shep doesn’t care Austin is happy.
Kathryn dresses like crap, usually over dressed and my first thought was Poppy Longstocking. At the reunions she overdresses with her breast on display, why? On IG her at home pics she often looks nice. Doesn’t she notice she does not look like the other ladies? That outfit at the ball/party belonged in a bedroom.
Ashley Ugh Want her to go away.
I like Eliza and don’t find her to be mean spirited, maybe I missed something? I think production is the one pushing Ashley on an audience who wants nothing to do with her.
I like Eliza too. I wish we’d seen more of her life and less of her being used to bring the unmentionable one into the fold because like TT said, Eliza is truly Southern to the core. She’s also been through some crazy shit and seems pretty darn normal. Her eye twitched with stress when the waste of oxygen burst into the hotel yelling nonsense.
The season has been as dull as dishwater. Aside from Metol bossing Naomi around it’s been so redundant. Ashley needs to go. She is certifiable. Shep taunting the homeless woman is his all time low. I did not enjoy a single episode. Austen & Madison are both disgusting. Craig, Danni & Katherine are the only two I am interested in. The rest are unwatchable & boring.
Poor Naomie is so blind she doesn’t see Metul rolling his eyes in exasperation with everything she does. He seems like an insufferable ass.
Karma! That’s exactly what she used to do to Craig. What goes around, comes back around…
I agree. She’s gone from being the henpecker to the henpecked. I don’t feel bad for her at all.
I think Craig is still my favorite on this show I just wish he would stop drinking so much. Watching him show up hungover for scenes is kinda depressing since I like the dude. Also that look reminded me of a Polish babushka, but I grew up in a Polish neighborhood so I’m a little biased there. But it was kind of one of those cute scenes that make him adorable.
About Naomi and Metul she doesn’t seem to have noticed yet because it’s probably still early in the relationship but something tells me she’s going to eventually learn to dislike it as much as Craig disliked her constant nagging and peck, peck, peck…
I laughed out loud when Austen referred to himself and Shep as “two grown men.” Not hardly.
Schlep is a vile entitled waste of space pos. That video was horrible and I truly hope karma gets him.
I would have died laughing if the dogs started chasing Ashley. That apology was fake af. Before the apology she was talking crap about Kathryn. Hope karma comes her way too.
Ashley was trash talking Kathryn’s appearance to her “friends” just before her fake apology. I believe one of her friends was the gal that let Ashley stay with her for a bit before she had to take out a restraining order against her. She is a horrible person.
Hey TT is this the end with Ashley now?
No we will see one more time when she gets thrown out of Patricia’s party
TT, Ive been putting a few drops of vinegar in my dogs water under his vets recommendation for years and he has never been bothered by fleas or ticks. This season of SC was the.most boring ever!
I used to love Southern Charm. As others have said, I initially thought Shep had a certain amount of charm and wit. No more. And I used to really like Cameran, but I was very disappointed by her encouragement of Shep to tell Austen’s secrets. And I used to really like Chelsea, but I was disgusted by her gender-based insults of Craig on the bus in Colorado–totally out of line and inappropriate.
I’ve never been as much of a Kathryn fan as many of you are. It has always bothered me how she goes after the rich guys–Thomas, Shep, Whitney–makes her seem like a gold-digger. I don’t like Austen–whiny, and his beer development story is ridiculous. Craig is good-hearted, but his rages at Austen are over the top, and his lack of energy bothers even me.
Basically, there is no longer anyone on this show that I like. I guess Craig is the closest. Kind of sad considering how much I used to love this show.
And the preview of next week shows that Shep and Craig bring the two girls from the Austen video to Patricia’s party. That is so low! Why are these two so obsessed with trying to get Austen to break up with Madison? Just mind your own business! (But what Madison did to Danni last week was completely low too.) As I said, no one to like.
Fuck Shep is right. Its also time to take out the TRASH. Aside from that, I loved this episode!! I want to be Chelsea.
I get the Shep hate and it’s deserved but where is the Madison disgust over dragging Danni’s sex life into a fight with Shep. There is enough crap Shep does all on his own that dragging poor Danni into it was unnecessary! I may be in the minority but I love that the 2 women from Austen’s video show up at the party! Austen thinks he is so above Shep…with Shep’s money he’d be identical to him. He is Shep without the money.
Do you remember that old SNL skit about ” Bond 1″, Bond 2″, etc.? This post reminds me of that.
I would like to see Shep charged with verbal assault. How dare he do that. If I was Ex Producer of Southern Charm I would fire him.
I keep wondering if the charmers are required to do outrageous stuff to keep the brand relevant. Even so, reprehensible of Shep.
I DO think these “charmers” are given scripts to play out with atrocious behaviors.
Sheppard wasn’t filming for SC, it was an IG post HE MADE. He thinks his shit doesn’t stink and he’s sooo funny. He’s a pig. He can’t even help himself on the show. His true colors are shining bright!
I haven’t even talked about Chelsea and lunch with her Daddy! It brought back so many memories of driving to Hunting island, Beaufort, the shrimp shacks and the PEACHES! I hate that we have to discuss assholes before we get to our happy place.
Shep is an aging alcoholic. He is degenerating into a bitter “mean drunk” right before our eyes. He is gross. Sad, really…
Who comes here and doesn’t read the comment section?
Right? I love TT”s commenters, love the perspectives and learn something new every day.
Elizza and Ashley need to be off this show. Bye!
I hope Ashley gets bodily throw out of Pat’s party next week. We, here, in the VA don’t do fox hunting as much as steeplechase. That is a wonderful, elegant weekend event.
Great recap TT!
Oh no TT, I just read Kathyrns mom just passed yesterday. So sad for her. 😢
Oh no. That is so sad. Saying prayers for Kathryn and her family.
Ugh-I had no idea Shep would do something like that to a homeless person. That shows that he really has an ugly view of other people. How did editing keep him shiny and happy for so many seasons?
just saw an article that kathryn’s mom died and more ugly personal stuff coming out of her custody case. i hope she is doing all right.
I saw that too. She was 59 and lost an 18 month ovarian cancer battle.
Kathryn’s mother has been a strong person in Kathryn’s corner ever since she got involved with Thomas. She will be greatly missed. I hope other family members step up to help shore up Kathryn’s emotional state.
Kathryn’s mother passing is going to be a huge blow to Kensie and Saint. She was the most stable caregiver of the bunch.
Yes, so typical of very many families. A supportive, loving and stable grandmother is gold in children’s lives.
I feel for her loss. My mother assisted me and my husband with the care of our children, she was their steady companion. The loss of such a solid presence will be hard for them.
I will say it again, get rid of the guys and this show is totally watchable. I can handle Craig and Austen in a “friend” role. Cam too maybe. But the other girls are the show. Get rid of the peter pan DB’s and keep the girls. Then again, I am someone who prefers to see real life stuff and not the produced drama.
That video Shep posted, he consistently goes after people weaker then him, weaker socially i mean. In my area there are a few poor people, sometimes as a fam, collecting bottles. Lots of homeless here. I have to say in all my travels I’ve not seen the kind of sniggering, casual cruelty toward the poor anywhere like here in the u.s. And had a pic in his inst a of guy he wearing a fast on each foot, he was smiling there with shep, who apparently felt the need to joke with this elderly fella about his condition, it amused shep. She’s joking but dude no one else is laughing. Fix yo shit.
Can autocorrect lol. Meant she’s insta, but with a cast on each foot!
Personal story, sorry. A couple of years ago I went to DC, lovingly invited by the CNAs I work with to their annual conference. We ate well frequently and had leftovers often that we’d take back to the hotel and popped into the fridges…we didn’t eat any left overs, we just ate out again and brought back more food! Those of you familiar with DC know the homeless population is out of control…these young ladies took it upon themselves to go out into the pouring rain to distribute all the leftovers to homeless people our last night there. Someone mentioned hating to throw out all that good food and suggested giving it to the homeless. We reheated and packed up the food, the hotel donated umbrellas for 13 of us and off we went into the night. It took us less then 20 minutes, (took us far longer to reheat and package up food) that’s how accessible homeless were to the hotel. We had a lot of food. I didn’t feel good, I felt very sad and helpless really, we were treated very kindly and thanked profusely. A few people were resistant to the offers but I personally didn’t take no for an answer, talked up the meal and left in front of their space.
There are good people that don’t have a clue how to fix huge problems but have hearts and want to do something, anything, small drop I know for their fellow humans. The young CNA who made the suggestion, she’d never been out of the 4 corner states, least all been on a plane and almost didn’t take the trip because she had struggled with fear of being so far from home and her family. No umbrella made it back to the hotel. The concierge just smiled when we thanked him for the kind donations when we returned dripping water all over the fancy lobby.
Shep is a pig.
Kipper, thank you for sharing your story, feeling good now. Thank you again. Most homeless want to be treated like we treat others, look them in the eye when talking to them with no pity in ours.
Shep and Austin’s parents must be so proud (sarcasm). I don’t care the reason, what Shep did was evil. Using humans like that….horrible. Karma.
And I am sorry for the loss of Kathryn’s mom. Those poor kids. Kathryn’s bad decisions are going to endanger them. I hope someone steps in and helps.
I’m sort of at a loss with this show. I have nothing to add about Shep, because Shep.
Why are they shoving Ashley down our throats?
The only good thing about this is the girls relationships with each other and Liza’s Aunt!
Liza’s Aunt made the episode.
Eliza’s Aunt was amazing!! Loved her brief appearances. I still think they could’ve done more with Eliza’s family and life instead of shoving more Ashley down our throats. Anything would be better than more Ashley.
I’m growing tired of everyone on SC. Maybe even Kathryn a little. I think reality shows would be better if they cancelled before they spoiled and did little update where are they now seasons. I think I like Eliza…I definitely didn’t see enough to form a firm opinion. I do like the Authentic Southern she could bring to Southern Charm. They should just recast the show with all of her born and raised Charleston friends.
It’s time we all call on Bravo TV to CAN Shep! Unacceptable behavior, and I will not watch if he returns next season!
Is there ANYONE besides Chelsea on this show who is not a total asshole? Some more than others! I have NEVER liked Cameron whatsoever. She thinks her shit don’t stink and to have SHEP of all people repeat such a personal thing is disgusting. Good Lord, we have probably ALL tried it-who cares?? Totally despicable. I love this town but- LOVED your comment that Eliza is everything Miss Pat would give to be!! Thanks for the recap-hope you’re doing well.
I kind of understand why people are getting fed up, but at the same time, the show is trying to find footing with a cast that’s been around a long time & it seems no one is invested in the “new” drama. I am tho. My observations of this episode are yes, bringing Ashley into scenes is entirely unnecessary and I hope her scenes are very limited next episode. No one likes her or cares, the director or whoever made a bad call. Did anyone else think Chelsea & Naomi wimped out of the fox hunt? Sorry, “being cold” is nonsense – you warm up as soon as you start moving. Someone made a comment about Craig being low-energy & sort of distant and I agree. I kind of feel like there is a level of disinterest with much of the cast. Whitney has all but disappeared, Cameran adds a little – but I feel like it’s often forced, Naomi acts above the show so then why is she on it, and while Chelsea is cool – she’s got no storyline. Eliza seems nice but, eh. I think Madison is a good addition. It seems a lot more genuine than adding Eliza in. Shep is like the Jax of VPR – he’s a must keep. Actually, that’s kind of a key difference between the shows, the VPR cast behaves with some level of actual interest in being a part of the show and each other, while the SC folks act like they are dragging around a ball & chain. I still am totally on board tho.
