Salley gets her chickens in the coop. I sentence I never thought I would say.
I feel like it’s a line out of a children’s book.
Craig calls Madison whining about how he and Austen had yet another little fucking tiff about nothing.
Isn’t it so funny how she’s actually the most ‘adult’ of the cast currently?
Also with the biggest bougiest house? Madison? Well, it blows me away.
She’s like the dumbest of the entire cast.
I’m assuming it’s her Amazon gig and brand deals that’s putting her so much higher than everyone else.
Brett might have some money but don’t think he’s a multi-millionaire being a fire fighter. Even in California.
Madison rats out Salley for bad-mouthing him. Austen definitely embellished a little, but Craig didn’t have a lot nice to say about her.
Craig doesn’t feel that he lead her on at all. Craig seriously.
As someone that was lead on by his girlfriend for three years, and now realizes it, should he be doing the same to someone else? This situation isn’t anything close to the level of the lies and manipulation that Paige was doing, but still same kinda thing.
He defends the text of telling her she ‘could’ve stayed over’ as him being polite when she texted she wished she would have stayed.
I think she’s being too forward and was making herself too available.
You have to play a little coy and hard-to-get. Standing there awkwardly at the end of the evening hoping to be invited to stay is a little — desperate??
Molly and Charley have an outing of making mosaics or something.
She tells Molly she’s creative, and but in her yap admits she’s really not.
I guess that answers my question about the art gallery, if she owned it or worked there. Not only does she not own it, but says she has no artistic ability whatsoever.
Okay then.
They discuss the infamous sleepover and her argument with Salley.
She admits she’s anxious about her date with Craig since Salley is pissed. I’m losing brain cells.
Molly who we know doesn’t like Salley, I forget why, is on Charley’s side and encouraging her to just go for it and not worry about it. Of course that would be her advice.
I did a quickie google search and as of this writing January 2026, they are apparently still dating, so that’s kind of cool.
I think they make a really cute couple. Charley is a much better fit for Craig than Paige, Why? Because she’s not a stupid sneaky conniving fucking bitch. No offense to Paige, or anything
From what I understand, she is finally public with this Joe D’Amelio guy. At first she was lying and saying she was ‘single’ to not bring attention to the fact that she was talking to him when she was still with Craig. I heard they’ve recently moved in together.
He kind of seems like an asshole.
You know how she was so vehemently against any talk of moving in with Craig or vice versa? Well there you go, it wasn’t that she was against it, she just didn’t want to live with Craig, so she lied and pretended it was a possibility in the near future, so she could keep seeing him for the career, popularity and income boost it was giving her.
Anyway – Molly makes a good point. Salley now is trying to convince Charley how Craig is awful, but he was a great guy up until she found out that he wasn’t into her.
To be fair, and see both sides, these are two best friends supposedly, and if Salley liked Craig and made that clear to Charley, is it somewhat inappropriate to then date the same guy? Kind of.
And of course Salley CARES. Her “do whatever you want, Charley, I don’t care” comment is girl speak for ‘Don’t you dare go out with him and yes of course I care!’
I see how this can go over dudes’ heads, but Charley should be able to comprehend that.
Ugh who cares about Rodrigo. He’s annoying and hates everyone on the cast. If they really want a gay guy cast member, can’t they find a cool one? That’s not miserable and scowling all of the time?
And why do we even have to check the gay box anyway when we already have Shep, Whitney and Austen?
Was that crass? Sorry not sorry. Those three guys are not 100% straight and I will die on that hill.
I forgot, he’s Shep’s decorator for his beach house his mommy is buying for him. How did I forget something so important?
Rodrigo’s fiance sounds like a brain surgeon. He doesn’t seem to know what having a ‘cash bar’ at their wedding is. He thinks that means they’re gettng paid for their wedding. No dumbass, it just means people pay for their own drinks, you don’t. Hopefully Rodrigo’s the smart one.
They’re renovating their kitchen because viewers are online bitching about his ugly kitchen. Bravo viewers can be real assholes, can’t we??
Honestly I didn’t even notice his kitchen other than it’s really small. I think I only learned this season that he’s an interior designer.
They gossip about the group for a minute.

Austen has an outing with his sister. He’s such a pussy. He got a tat and is whining about his low pain threshold and hatred for needles.
I feel that same, but I’m a girl and allowed. A dude’s pain threshold should be -high, and if it’s not they should just say it is.
Having said that, and got my calling -Austen-a pussy-moment over with, the tattoos he and Katie got to commemorate their sister’s passing was really sweet.
Austen is allegedly excited to see Audrey, who’s coming to Charleston for Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement party.
Katie tries to tell him it’s weird that he’s been dating her for a year and a half and he has no interest in having her move to Charleston. So what’s going on?
Is it because you like guys and don’t want to say so? I think we would all much rather these guys live their truth and stop wasting bitches’ time.
After a year and a half if you’re living a few hours away from each other, there should be talks of breaking up or someone relocting.
That’s how I always knew Paige was full of shit in her relationship with Craig. It was three years in, and she not only did not want to relocate or have him relocate, she constantly made snarky fucking remarks about it. Not that it takes a relationship expert to figure that out, but that’s how I knew she had zero intention of ever getting engaged or married.
You would have thought Craig would have seen that. I don’t mean to harp on this constantly. I just think it was so shitty of her to do that.
Katie sort of scolds him for jerking Audrey around.
He tells a producer in his yap that he has ‘reservations.’ Well then break up with her Austen (which he has since done) so you can find the guy of your dreams.
He basically says here that he’s most likely going to be dumping her.
Two seconds ago, he claimed to be “so excited to see her.”
So that was a lie.When I said ‘allegedly’ that was accurate. He knows that’s what he’s supposed to say, and what we want to hear.
******
We’re graced with the presence of Shep, who I did NOT miss last week, Would he be missed if he packed it in? I really don’t think so.
He checks in with his decorator.
So poor Shep deems himself homeless’ because his house he’s been living in with the weird windows is rented, and his new bougie beach house has no furniture and nor cable. Which means he’s having a little sleep over with his bestie Craig.
Craig really needs to lose the pink kitchen chairs since Paige dumped him. She probably did that on purpose just to be a dick. He tells Shep what’s been going on with the love triangle.
******
Audrey is so cute. What’s she even doing with the loser that is Austen? They discuss Craig. I do think Austen kind of obsessed with him.
Austen feels he was replaced by Craig with Salley? What? This has been a dumb conversation. No red flags here, Audrey at all??
******
The engagement party gets underway. Everyone was confused that it was being held outdoors.
I totally missed this episode when it aired last week and I feel like I didn’t miss much.
What in THEE hell is Madison wearing? She looks like pregnant white trash that lives in a trailer park and has five more kids at home to different dads. Why would she war this?
I honestly don’t consider myself a prude, but wow. Just wow. Who walks around wearing this when seven months pregnant??
True to form, within .03 seconds she mentions her ‘titties.’ This dress could not be shorter, and it could not be lower cut.
See what I mean about my confusion as to her doing the most ‘adult’ things in the group. She acts fucking twelve. She’s solo since Brett is in Cali working as usual.
It’s the only way this bitch is tolerable.
Shep and Craig arrive as each other’s date. Looks like there was a white dress code assignment.
We have Leva again. I hate when people explain and compliment their own outfit.
Everyone feels awkward around Audrey because they all know Austen wants to dump her.
There definitely is a spark between Charley and Craig. It doesn’t surprise me that they’re currently dating. I’m not going to say it’s going to last, but it helps that she lives in Charleston and she’s not an evil conniving bitch like Paige. I may have already said that, but I’m saying it again. I don’t care.
Whitney doesn’t know Madison is having a girl, even though there was a very girly pink baby shower held in his mother’s back yard, which he attended.
Gay guys typically don’t care about a woman giving birth.
Craig seems to he practically stalking Austen and Audrey.
I’m not sure why he cares so much, unless it’s because of the Paige thing and he feels that Austen is doing to Audrey what Paige did to him. But still. Back off. Not your monkey, not your circus. It’s creepy.
These two ding-dongs tend to get completely fixated on each other’s relationships.
Charley approaches Craig to confirm that there is weirdness between her and Salley. She wants him to talk to Salley to explain that there was a misunderstanding in what got communicated to her.
So they chat. They figure out Austen conveyed what Craig said to make it seem more callous than what it really was.
Craig WAS being a little pissy. I don’t know that the ‘chaotic’ and ‘tornado’ comments were necessary. I just feel like he wasn’t attracted to her. You can’t really help who you’re attracted to. Either it’s there or it’s not.
He seems to have convinced her that Austen was lying about what all was said and that’s not completely true.
The engagement soiree comes to an end and they party bus to another spot.
There’s a live band and Whitney takes the stage with his bad guitar playing.
Why is Shep screaming like that?? “Whitney, Whitney!!!” Shut up. Those two really need to hook up.
Austen ditches Audrey and he and Salley get really inappropriate and flirty.
That’s kind of shitty of both of them.
And what is happening now is what I knew was going to happen. Austen tells her that Craig lied in the convo where he tried to make amends and patch things up.
Like dude. Fucking butt out.
Neither of them really lied. It’s just that Austen conveyed that Craig meant it more maliciously than he really did, and Craig kind of sugar coated what he said.
It’s so dumb.
Salley laughs with Austen that his girlfriend hates her (since she’s aggressively flirting with him.)
And he literally left her just sitting by herself. She sees what’s going on and she’s pissed.
