This is one of those nights where I try to find a post I know I made, and can’t find it anywhere. Sometimes that means I talked about it in an open forum but I tried googling that and nada. So I probably just talked about it on Twitter. I was thinking of seeing all the cast, (even before most of the girls quit) hanging out downtown sitting outside with no social distancing getting wasted. They were horsing around with no masks during a pandemic. We were chatting about how dumb that was. Tonight appears to be the night that some of them were exposed to covid. So this Southern Charm recap might actually be interesting for a change. Seeing dumb people pay the consequences for their actions can provide some delicious schadenfreude.
Gossip Girl (& Guy)
Ah,my thoughts in the first paragraph were based on the episode title above. Now that I have read the description, I don’t think we get to an outdoor event yet. By the way, it just occurred to me that Cameran quit right before Kathryn started the rumors about Cameran. So, there were two other attempts to start filming and none of that was used. They will be lucky to get 12 episodes (including reunion) out of this. Normally, there would have been sixteen. So, I am taking that as good news. I’ll take any good news at the moment. I just noticed that Craig is doing the narration for this season.

Back at the Dumb and Dumber party, Kathryn is still flirting and and gossiping about John Pringle. I have not updated my tags for this season. I think John Pringle is sort of like a friend of the show this season. The other new castmate, Leva Bonaparte who will be fulltime, arrives at the party with her husband Lamar Bonaparte. They own and operate four upscale bars and restaurants in the Holy City. They are rich, bitch. And Leva is best friends with Cameran. Kathryn is already giving her stank face as Patricia makes a big deal of their entrance.
Leva Comes for Kathryn
Leva is beyond pissed (in a sophisticated way) at Kathryn for spreading the lies about Cameran’s husband. I have to say, we are not getting pretty Kathryn this season. She looks bad. So maybe Thomas has some valid points? And she is back to bad behavior Kathryn. Kathryn says that Cameran was terrible to her for quite a while and what goes around comes around. She looks much better in her talking head. Kathryn doesn’t even try to say that what she said was true. Because, it is not. And she looks like a circus clown in the orange bowtie and the blue eye shadow. It’s all very weird. Leva gets Kathryn to agree to a truce. As if that will happen.

Shep is telling everyone except for his friend Austen, that Peter, a random party guest, hooked up with Madison. This happened when Austen and Madison were broken up. Everyone starts whispering about it. I don’t get why it is a big deal. Then, Whitney takes his date, Patricia home. Shep continues to needle Madison. I forgot how much Shep hates Madison. Madison grabs Austen and they leave. Shep wakes up the next morning in the clothes he wore to the party. The girlfriend, Taylor tries to get Shep out of bed. He’s not interested. Taylor is apparently the one who told Shep about Peter. Shep promised not to blab, then told everyone at the party.
Madison & Austen Talk About The Party
The next morning, Madison and Austen who apparently are living with each other again, wake up to talk the next morning. I know he technically lives with Craig, but I think he stays with Madison. Austen is unhappy to learn that Madison was with someone else during one of their many break-ups. Madison says that Shep is just trying to break them up over nothing. They are both pissed at Shep. But seem stronger than ever together. So I guess that didn’t work.

Kathryn shows up to a nail appointment with Danni. They talk about Shep and his girlfriend, Taylor. No one expects this relationship to last. Kathryn admits to making out with John Pringle. She says she is not interested because he is not over a very recent divorce. Kathryn then admits that she and the scumbag who sired her kids hooked up a few months ago. She seems to think she might get back together with him at some future point. She is not going to like this news!
Boys Night Out?
Austen, Whitney and Craig go out for dinner and beers. Apparently, things were so bad this season that they called Whitney to come film. Whitney orders a BBQ sandwich. I want a BBQ sandwich. There are still people eating in restaurants? Maybe this is still pre Covid? But the outdoor food and wine fest is going to happen. And Austen has a tent. He is worried that Shep is going to cause a scene and ruin his big day. Whitney and Craig are both seemingly neutral in this breakup. Then Shep, Austen and Craig go to workout. Shep apologizes to Austen. He ask Shep to please not bother Madison at the big event.
How does Leva have all white furniture with a two year old?

John Pringle shows up to Patricia’s house with flowers and it is cocktail hour so Michael is serving martinis. Patricia, Whitney and John have cocktails. Of course Patricia and Whitney need to school the only Charlestonian in the room about manners and southern cocktails. John was married for six years and has two kids ages 6 and 7. (We just had a gunshot and Banjo is going nuts. It’s awfully early in the week for gunshots.) Back to the Pringle pedigree. He is devastated by the divorce. His ex-wife and kids are in San Diego. Of course Patricia tries to hook Madison up with John. She’s just awful.
The Beer & Wine Festival
This festival, which also features seafood, happened March 4-8. So that was about five days before people started quarantining. I’ve been in quarantine for eight months now. But, who’s counting? That said, this was probably a super spreader event but most people had just barely heard of the virus. It looks like so much fun. John Pringle seems to flirt a little with Madison. Madison seems very receptive and flashes her dimples. Kathryn tries to move in on John Pringle and is unable to follow his simple conversation. How do people not know what a commodity broker is? John tells production that Madison is her type. I just remembered in Madison and Austen’s makeup scene they showed Madison telling Austen “I don’t want to be with anyone else but you.” So obviously, there will be a love triangle.

Shep shows up to stir the pot further. He gets behind stand with Madison and Austen. Shep does his fake apology. Austen begs them both to save this for another time. Twice. But of course they don’t. Shep has said several times, “If you don’t like Austen, please just let him go.” Madison says that she doesn’t want anyone but Austen. Yeah, she is totally going to dump Austen for John Pringle.
Shep and Craig are on WWHL so I’ll on a few thoughts on that now. Shep says he quarantined with Taylor and discovered that domestic life wasn’t bad at all. Craig says he met a girl during quarantine and they stayed together. But they struggle to find a way to date in the post quarantine world. WE ARE NOT IN A POST QUARANTINE WORLD, CRAIG! Shep looks like death. Where is Taylor to at least fix his hair?
Shep mispronounces word while extolling his intelligence. Even Craig is not a fan of Madison. So, yes she totally hooked up with John Pringle. Craig says is still good with Naomi and Metul. Shep says that Thomas loves being on the show so he wasn’t surprised by his scenes. The rest of it was just stupid games. But Craig did say “Cameran” when asked the definition of sanctimonious.
I remember that post you did with the picture of them standing around with no mask and not social distancing. It really existed
Thank you! I try to tag and label all my posts and then there are times I just can’t find them!
Read today that Thomas filed for full custody claiming KD is back on the candy. If I recall correctly, you predicted this a few works ago.
That’s what it seemed like to me when T posted that there was a deadline to respond to his “offer” to relocate the kids to Aiken full time, that if she didn’t agree, he’d get it done another way. I believe that what she went through with Thomas romantically and with the custody fight likely contributed to her substance abuse, and maybe it’s not fair that she has to be held to the standard that other parents don’t, but she made choices that made those standards necessary and she absolutely needs to be sober for as long as she wants her kids. Not yet, of course,…but when her kids are older, they’ll see the choices she made as picking drugs over them and that will hurt them deeply. Stay. Sober. If. You. Stupid. Want. Your. Kids. Even drinking on camera is so dumb of her unless she doesn’t actually want custody. Thomas wants full custody. He’ll always our finance and our lawyer her. If she gives him ammunition against her, he’ll use it.
After watching this season and learning that she was at least pretending to be “living in his house” should would likely be living with his cocaine again. I wonder if he got her back on drugs again…
I have been thinking that exact same thing. He just has more money and better attorneys.
I will have to revisit this tomorrow. John Pringle? What kind of name is that? On a bright side, we are still doing alright. I saw alot of Biden signs while taking a daily walk in my neighborhood.
Not sure if it’s just me, but all these bravo shows seem so stupid since covid. Why is this? Kathryn looks pretty bad this season, like that rode hard and put away wet look. Can I say this TT? Patricia and her snobbery against vodka? What’s wrong with potatoes? They make a great soup with leeks. What’s with all of them not wearing masks? All I thought about (like TT mentioned) was that super spreader event during the beer festival scene. Good God.
The festival was before we were really that informed about COVID. The quarantine started a bit later. I started on March 13 and that was before people were really being told to stay home and even once we told told, things were mandatory and most businesses were still open.
Today, we had 109,000 new cases in one day. That seems to be getting overshadowed by the election. It’s going to be at least three months until changes are made. THREE MONTHS until the POTUS who thinks this is all a big hoax and who could not even keep his own family safe is gone and a real task force can be formed. Right now we are at about a thousand deaths a day and the numbers are skyrocketing. So that probably another hundred thousand before Biden can get in there and do something.
I just love Craig.
Kathryn is using again.
I mean it is starting to look like it….
OMFG! Kathryn hooked up with Thomas — if this episode is March and she said a few months ago, maybe during the winter holidays! She even mentions a possibility of them getting back together — because of the kids, that connection is there.
Maybe, as loathe as I am to say this — more likely the DRUG CONNECTION still is there. If not for tge kids, I would just say they DESERVE each other…
For someone who expected THE WORLD to give her second, third, fourth chances, Kathryn sure doesn’t want to give Cam another chance. Patricia said way worse things about her than Cam. Oh … but Patricia is more USEFUL to Kathryn. I was pulling for Kathryn since the beginning, but I am rapidly changing my stance. And I LOVE Leva so far. Talking to Kathryn as an adult. I don’t think she expects Kathryn to act like one.
Exciting news to write in election post. ♥️
So I think I specifically noticed that Craig did not give a gender to his “new relationship” that he talked about on WWHL. Maybe that’s why it’s hard for him “post quarantine.” Also, Andy looked terrible but maybe it was that turtleneck. It hurt my eyes.
How can they not address that Bethany Conover is…no where? She was my favorite member of the cast. TT, can your sources dig into this very serious matter? Is B managing the pillow factory with Gizmo?
^also, I have no judgment about all of these people being so promiscuity-positive, but why do they cry and agonize when they find out that the person they’re dating slept with someone else. Why would Austen care that Madison slept with Peter? Anyone Madison had sex with has to be excluded from parties? That’s just dumb.
It sounds like Liz has some other reason to hate Madison.
AGREE! Especially for the shade he gave Chelsea when he said “I need a girlfriend with a SEX DRIVE”…Whelp you got you one buddy and apparently she doesnt care that you are threesome loving, sloppy beer drunk, going out every night frat boy….
I wonder if Liz was pissed that Shep did it and/or Peter told Liz that they wouldnt be filmed …her reaction was curious.
Liz told Austen that he shouldn’t date such a bad person and said “you know what she did” but wouldn’t go into specifics. It gave me the impression that Madison did something nefarious to Liz unrelated to having sex with Peter. Madison has demonstrated that she has the capacity for some really cruel behavior. God forbid production explain the matter on which an episode and a half are predicated upon.
ahhh…I missed that part…do you think Liz was talking about how Madison blabbed on TV about Danni having a STD? That was pretty shitty….
I *think* Liz said “I’ll tell you about it another time” when Austen said he didn’t know what Liz was referring to. For no particular reason, I had the impression that it was about something professional. It could have been the Danni chlamydia for all I know, though Dani seems to be over that and is friendly with Madison (which is dumb, but whatever).
I just saw that Liz is a a rep for Island Coast Lager, maybe the issue is some sort of craft beer loyalty -that’s exactly the type of mystery I need to distract myself today.
When Austen went to check in to “his booth” he gave the company name. I think maybe Island Coastal Lager is what he said? I’ve already deleted so I can’t replay. Anyone?
King’s Calling is Austen’s company. It looks like Island Lager is also locally brewed.
I was thinking that Austin and Madison were on a break but maybe Peter and Liz were not on a break – they were still together and Madison did it behind Liz’s back.
Done with K. Was done with TRAV since his malignant narcissism and grandiosity, not to mention hs entitlement was repugnantly obvious from Season 1.Also, I never could understand how he got away with so much more than K considering he is older and should know better. A great look for Charlestonian courts and the good old boy club. Aside from being grandiose, predatorial, delusional, malignantly entitled, and a Class A gaslighter, I do not understand why K kept putting her hand in the fire. How can she live with him or hok up with a person who has literally been out to get her by hook or by crook? She is more enamored by his status than any other attribute. She also did not seem to care for the women he “predated” and how it affected them. There is no true altruism with her. Or sense. She can’t claim youthful stupidity anymore. In some ways she was a victim, but now she is just a volunteer. This is a guy who set her up over and over and over while being just as guilty or more on a number of serious offenses and she still falls back.
I have to say Kathryn looked awful. She’s still a young woman and looks completely tarted out with all that makeup and like she’s 45 trying to pass for a debutant.
The wine and food festival is a big deal, but it’s overcrowded, overpriced and often runs out of food. Even worse, chefs must provide the food and beverages out of pocket.
The Cameran storyline is lame. Sheps “girlfriend” is lame. The show is lame. Time to put a fork in it.
I’m always amused when I see the reruns if the first shies when Craig describes him self as being known as a socialite! He’s a big time climber as is Kathryn. Her social standing in Charleston has never been good . She’s very skilled
At living up to her terrible reputation ! She pure, unadulterated trash!
I couldn’t believe my ears when Craig said he’d finally “stopped using Adderall over a year ago”! I’ve always worried he was a cokehead, but I think Adderall abuse has similar symptoms? Anyway, so happy he’s healthy now!
I just now watched the episode. Shep is the biggest fucking dousch bag. Fucking too. He even looks like shit. Those fucking fake teeth makes him look like a cartoon character. He’s beyond redemption. Craig rocks
