Tamara Tattles have been reporting since LAST FALL about what a shit show has been going on there. They filmed a bit last fall, sent in the first episode and and it was rejected by the network. They had to interview for different new people. Then in February, they tried to start filming again and it was eventually interrupted by the Corona Virus. Then once again it was a disaster. My production sources have basically said this is the last season and that it sucked but no one wanted to pay Haymaker the kill fee.

Then I was told they would be lucky to get 10 or 12 episodes. And that is apparently what we got. With all of that the girls quitting this season, I was not hoping for much. But when the trailer below came out, I was kind of intrigued. So maybe they got ten or twelve good episodes after all.. But word on Mama Joyce’s Streets is that this is the last season.
I tried numerous times to get the link to the preview here but every time I punch it in it is a Top Chef clip instead. Because, Bravo.
I’m so over this show. I wasn’t originally a fan. But when I binged the first and second seasons a long time ago, I was hooked…
Until I came here and caught the tea you were spilling about Thomas. Then I read through some SC local blogs that had more 411 on Thomas and the show. Then, it seemed like TRav was gone and I could enjoy the show with less guilt. Then they brought back Thomas, Kathryn herself became more problematic, and this whole shitshow erupted.
I’m over “Southern Charm”, and I may finally be ready to just quit Bravo. I can’t make any more excuses for putting up with their garbage.
I am with you. Really just done with all Bravo shows, except Top Chef, and I miss the Oklahoma ladies lol they were funny. But the rest, all the Rh, done. Just done.
I’m not interested in this show anymore.
However I like New Orleans. TT do you have any tea on whether or it will return?
Sadly it doesn’t seem to be coming back.
As disappointed as I am I’m not surprised. As a troupe they we’re too civilized so it makes sense it’s not returning. We are talking about Bravo aren’t we.
Tamica posted an Instagram story last week or the week before of filming equipment and tagged bravo in it. It seems like she may have some sort of project coming up!
I kinda want to see Kathryn taking shots again, even though it is awful to want to see that. Craig wasn’t in the teaser too much. Good for him.
I loved this show. I just love that location, so beautiful. However, the show just really became something that as a woman (or just as a human being) I found repulsive. We’ve read about T-Rav, Tamara has followed/covered his alleged sexual misconduct. The show showcases Shep’s sexual conquests. He crossed a line the time he grabbed Chelsea. Then, we read how he treated a homeless person. JD was on several seasons and he is just scum. I mean instead of Southern Charm it should be called Southern Trash.
I still like Craig though. Maybe I’m duped by him, but I feel he is not the same lowlife scum as Thomas, JD, Austen, (did I leave any of the whore dogs out???).
Agreed! This show went from being one of if not the best on Bravo to one of the worst in the blink of an eye. Nobody liked Thomas to begin with, we just didn’t know how truly repulsive he was. Same with JD and Shep. I definitely also won’t miss Cameron chewing with her mouth open and talking with her mouth full while revealing almost nothing about herself. And now Katheryn who I always rooted for has become a major disappointment. Craig does seem alright. I hope that’s not just wishful thinking. I’ll miss Chelsea, she inspired me to work out! But that said I’ll watch.
Craig sewing is a show I would watch every week. Craig is a true southern gentleman. I love Craig.
Craig is not even southern. But I too would watch hours of Craig just being Craig.
This show died when K. Cooper Ray was let go.
The production company is the problem with this show and the reason it is being cancelled. Any idiots can be in the cast, it’s Haymaker that is the problem. And quite frankly When K. Cooper Ray left, he was the most Charleston person (ahem from Alabama) ever to be on the show. We needed WAY MORE Coop back in the day. I really should be in charge of what is left of the world.
I haven’t paid much attention to Coop lately because I have spent most of my time curled up in a tight little ball crying. But I would have loved to see more of him on the show. His IG is fantastic btw, I have not looked at it lately. When I have time for social media I prefer to be on Twitter and it’s mostly politics… But he usually had pretty dogs, beautiful churches and nice stuff. We fight a lot and don’t talk much, but I remain a fan, and someone who loves him even when he doesn’t know.
I agree. He just exuded true southern charm.
It was fun when he came here and responded to comments! Even though he really seemed to like Thomas, he also provided a great counterbalance to him on the show. I wish they would give it to you to run. We’d get more architecture, food and society and be rid of the scum bags.
His instagram is high art. Everything I love churches art flowers architecture beautiful scenic retreats extremely intelligent person & so funny too ! His Instagram deserves a mention. Inspiring. Insightful. Imaginative. I want to read his book a roman a clef it looks fun & juicy. He should really write an expose on Haymaker Sourhern Charm cast production interference that would be a must read
Tamara what is it going to take for Bravo to realize what production has done/is doing to some of these shows? I see the same types of comments from different commenters about the turn some of the shows have taken. We got a glimpse of Charleston when this show started…the beautiful historic buildings & homes. When RHOBH started we saw really over the top spending and fabulous living. I can drive to a dive bar any direction out the state highways in my county and see drunk women screaming and fighting. I want to watch on tv what I can’t see normally. The trips in the shows used to be fun to watch, but now it’s the same shit different trip. They arrive, either fight over rooms or have to play a game to avoid a fight for rooms. Then, instead of getting to see the sights of the destinations, we watch meal after meal of arguing and insults which lead up to the big brawl at the dinner on the last night of the trip. Everything is a damn rerun…watch, change franchise, insert different cast, watch the same shit over again.
“….same shit, different trip….” literally in Ramona’s case.
Bahahaha!!!! YES!!!!!
Somewhere on here there is a post saying I will never watch this show. But um. I kind of need to eat so I caved. Now I post about lots of shows I don’t like because I was lucky enough to get very good sources. And I have exclusive news to share. Charleston, SC is my favorite city in the US. I was a gate agent for Eastern Airlines when Hugo hit. And I flew there all alone and sobbed when we flew over Charleston. It was the worst thing ever. I just sort of sat there and watched for a weekend. My dumbass brother who owns/owed a house on IOP was in town. I was poor as fuck then and asked him to come take me somewhere…I don’t remember I was a teenager at the time. or barely 20 and traveling alone. He was extremely put out and not offering to stay at his beach house… My whole family has always gone there. My dickhead brother maybe still owns a house on IOP? Who knows?
Hi, Tamara!
Just checking in on you. I read your response saying that that lately you have been feeling blue, and I just wanted to reach out and assure you that you have a great community who loves you very much. You got this!
Aside from my note, I felt very weird seeing Kathryn drinking whatever it is she was drinking after dragging the sobriety narrative for so long for the show. I get it, she says it’s marihuana she can’t have (eye roll) but still- she did crash her car twice and was in a nasty custody battle where substances were mentioned.
Then again, it could be that she was drinking something else and they made it appear to look like alcohol for ratings. Anyway, Bravo’s ship is sinking with the fakery going on. It’s sang its tune. I live for Below Deck and even that’s getting stuffy.
Much love to you!
Manda
Thanks Manda! Not that it is an excuse but I am kind of a whiner because I am here all alone (cue the violins) lol even my imaginary husband says I whine a lot.
Let me lock you in a house TOTALLY ALONE for six or seven months and see how you do. How am I doing NOT WELL BITCH.
I won’t be watching – I’m done with Southern Charm. It’s a shame; I really enjoyed the first few seasons. I don’t watch any of the Housewives anymore either.
You know what show I miss? Myrtle Manor. Yep, Myrtle Manor.
Oh I watched that!!!! It was kind of corny, but not all the production driven drunken screaming matches.
I will miss Chelsea. She worked for a living and I just loved the scenes with her Dad.
Not sure if I’ll watch but I hope there’s 100% less recap footage of Austen in his underwear hissing that Madison is a crazy person.
They had a big ass Jamon package at Costco!!!! It was on a stand and everything, like they do in Spain. But if you’re cooking it, then I’m not sure why you would bother with this level of ham.
I live in Charleston and SC certainly has lost its luster, amongst locals. Not that it had much to begin with. I will probably tune in because it’s fun recognizing spots I’ve been to.
P.S. A bit OT but from IG pics it looks like RHOA Cast Trip filmed on the nearby Isle of Palms last week? Wherever it was, looks like everyone had fun!
I was actually sort of asked for suggestions…. IOP is my favorite place on earth. I had not heard though. And would have never have sent them there. I suppose they are at Wild Dunes. And IOP was the first place I fell in love. He is a local and I may not be able to watch this.
I wasn’t going to watch but my girlfriends’s son is on the show as a friend.
The thing is that none of the cast members are Charlestonians. If you live in Charleston, that’s a huge deal.
Right after you are asked where you go to church, southerners ask, “What is your family name?”
