Shep wakes up next to Taylor, calling her ‘the kissing bandit.’ So apparently she was trying to get with him as they slept in the same bed. Duh. So she gets in bed with him, and wants to hook up after he was so aggressively nasty to her for making a little joke that he lost at fucking ping pong. He’s a fucking ginormous fucking toddler.
Speaking of how he hates to lose, did you guys hear how he was playing blackjack in Vegas during BravoCon, and wait for it, wait for IT, he didn’t want to stack his chips, because God forbid he would follow any ‘rules.’ He was wasted of course, got belligerent with the dealer, and got kicked out of the casino.
Is this really the life that Taylor wants to lead? Constantly being embarrassed and humiliated and making excuses for his behavior? And she wanted to have kids to this abusive freak?
She needs to get the hell away from this monster. She’s trauma-bonded to him, where she’s addicted to his assholeness, and volatility of the relationship. It is a thing. It’s typically how a narcissist will keep you coming back, no matter how horribly they treat you.
It’s not just a figure of speech, it’s a fact that it IS toxic and terrible for your health, to live your life this way, chasing your fucking your tail and trying to please a partner that is committed to finding fault with every fucking thing that you do, and destroying your spirit and self-confidence. And these types of people think it’s always everyone else’s fault that they act like they do.
Hot then cold, happy then mad, loving then hateful. Flimsy apology, if any at all, then the cycle starts all over again.
This kind of relationship is bad for you mental health, your well being, and your health health. It’s horrible to be involved with a man like this. Shep screamed at her and humiliated her in front of everyone, and said he liked cheating on her, (she did walk right into that by asking him) then she crawls into bed with him, and wants to fuck!! She needs to get off of this show. She needs to get away from him, and move on.

Whitney/Patricia scenes are so fucking excruciating, but funny at the same time. My assumption is that Whitney doesn’t normally live there, but does during filming? I hope that’s the case anyway. Unless he’s living there to help her? I don’t know. Who cares really??
Shep drops in. The new butler is off. Whitney can’t make a martini even though they were FaceTiming with Michael who gave step-by-step instructions as to how to make them. Also they’re not hard. Also why is he always mumbling “Jesus Christ” under his breath, and sighing like crazy. Like dude, I don’t think that your life is difficult.
She wants to do the guys’ formal dinner party thing, that’s become a tradition, I don’t know why. I guess she gets a kick out of having all of the dudes over. I don’t know why.
She wants to ‘elevate it’ and have a British Royal theme.
She hates to drop names but…
Shep pretends to be interested.
Prince Charles and his fucking ugly hag side piece, Chlamydia, are gross. Not sure why she’s bragging about knowing them, and having this fucking wedding cake in the freezer.

Paige and Craig are cute together, but I just don’t know if they’re going to make it, sorry to sound like Debbie Downer. She’s not on his timeline. She’s just having fun going back and forth from NYC to South Carolina, and letting him take her to bougee places. He orders a bottle of wine. Could he take me on a date maybe? He’s the sweetest. He’s quirky, and has his moments, but he has the best manners. He knows how to treat a lady. He’s not a bratty spoiled arrogant piece of ill-mannered shit.
When he asks her how she thinks the house is coming along, and she starts rattling off about curtains and whatnot, she sounds like his decorator, not his girlfriend.
It’s sad, because I don’t think she’ll ever ever even live there. His house is adorable, and it’s so impressive how he worked so hard for it, and proved everyone wrong. He had a good idea, and he ran with it. It’s not like he’s getting an allowance from his mommy. (like Shep, and others)
Her excuses for not relocating are flimsy. If she was into him, she’d be there. She can do what she does for work from anywhere. I just wish she’s stop wasting his time.
They chat a little about getting married and having kids, she gets a cute smile on her face. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe she is into making things official with him. I think it’s so cute how he wants to get married and have kids and is so into making his house homey and family oriented. This dude is most girls’ dream guy.
The ‘social circle’ thing is an excuse to not move forward, or just move, is really lame. Craig seems to be buying it. I don’t know why he’s pushing her towards Madison of all people. The dumbest, bitchiest least substantial space cadet on the show. Or on the planet. Maybe I answered my own question.
Can you imagine if Madison was ugly? She’s be stupid, ugly and unpleasant. So she’s got her looks, and that is it.
Doesn’t Paige think she would meet people WHEN SHE MOVES THERE? They’re laughing and joking about it, but she seems also serious.

Leva and Rod meet up and apparently they have been friends for a while. They discuss Olivia, and Rod shares how they seemed to be hitting it off, then all of a sudden, not.
Well, we know that Austen swooped in, and lead her on that he wants to see her again. And then later in this episode, we see him complaining how she keeps texting him. When he used the death of her brother to take advantage of her. What a slime. Leva seems to be aware that Olivia’s sudden brakes with him is due to Austen slithering in and confusing her.

Weird scene of JT and Taylor having champs and charcuterie in the park. He shows her the package and brags that it’s fresh and unopened. Taylor would never ever go for him, I hope he realizes that. He thinks they have some sort of connection, because she went to England with him and and some friends, he;s constantly bragging about. Dude, she just wanted (another) free trip to Europe. Get a grip.
He then brags that the champagne is “pretty good champagne too.” He’s so desperate to please her. Kind of cute. But he kind of has no game.
They discuss Shep. She refers to them kissing as an ‘apology.’ Certainly she didn’t mean she was apologizing to HIM? WTF? This girl is not all there. She’s cute though.
There has been social media attention about this scene, which I did not notice at first, when JT tucks his hair behind his ear, in a very feminine manner. Not that you can tuck your hair behind you ear in a masculine way, but it was really weird. These Southern Charm guys, I swear I have never seen a more feminine group of supposedly straight guys in my life. What’s in the water down there? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but they’re not identifying as gay, so I’m confused.
******
Looks like Patricia is laid up and will be missing the boys’ dinner party that she organized. She fell getting out of bed, and hurt her spine. That sounds bad when you’re in your 80’s.
Whitney isn’t capable of getting the cushions out to put on the porch furniture I guess, even for the big soiree coming up. What the hell else is he doing? There is requested attire for dinner or smoking jackets. Smoking jackets??
******
Venita and Madison meet. Was Madison horseback riding? Venita just got back from Fashion Week. Madison thinks she wants to have a baby with Brett. And that’s that.
******
And here’s the scene I referred to earlier, where Austen brags to Craig while acting annoyed, that Olivia is texting her. After he told her he wanted to start over? What is wrong with this dude? Is Shep right? Is he really trying to act like him? And why? Just why? Shep is a terrible person.
He claims he’s just trying to be her friend, but that’s not the impression that I got on the 11/2 episode. It’s so fucked up to be trying to confuse her like this when she’s grieving. Guess he’s done with the “oh I know how it feels to lose a sibling” thing, He’s over it. Moving on.
******
I may have gotten a recipe inspiration from this episode, so stay tuned for that! He asks Whitney for some dishes and trays, and Whitney is clueless.
What the hell is Whitney on? He’s like shaking almost as badly as Shep. I wish they’d stop showing pics of Prince/ King Charles. I can’t stand that turd. And I think we all know he is, Bravo. We get it. Patricia knows Charles. Who the fuck cares.
I think it’s funny how they all have the exact identical smoking jackets, aside from Whitney. Guess they all went shopping together, or ordered them from Amazon. They look stupid. Are they supposed to look like bathrobes? They literally look like bathrobes from Walmart.
Jesus Christ, did Austen just tuck his hair behind his ear too?? What the fuck is happening?
He proudly announces that Taylor’s dog and car are at his house. Why does he make sure he says this to Austen? They had lunch, and he got hammered, and passed out. He looks kind of under the weather. Actually, he looks terrible. Taylor is going at it hard to get banged by this asshole. Her beahvior is kind of reminding me of someone I know. Except she’s 55, not 30, and looks like an old mildewey dishrag. Probably smells like one too.
Shep initiates a weird conversation with Craig that he never sees Paige. Well she lives in whole other state very far away. But then I see where this was leading, they’re taking a trip. Oh joy! This should be interesting. Venturing out a little further than normal this time. Going to Jamaica mahn!!! Usually their little trips are in North or South Carolina.
Dinner is served, and it looks amazing. Are these losers really deserving of all of this? I’m thinking no. No JT or Rod present I see. Guess they didn’t make the cut.
Shep is now shitfaced, after arriving still day drunk. He and Austen start to bicker, which is a shocker. Craig gets involved as sort of a mediator. This is being done to death, honestly, the Austen and Taylor thing. My rule I came up with, is that Shep broke up with Taylor, it was his choice, therefore she is free to date whomever, and the friends are free (although awkward) to date her if they want to.
I take it back – Craig being a mediator. He’s not being more of an instigator by egging Shep on to be mad at Austen, and ‘deal with his feelings.’
I feel bad for these poor guys serving these fucking morons. Baked Alaska for dessert for these ungrateful undeserving fuckers. Rodrigo hightails it out of this circus, the second after dessert. He’s thinking he wants out of this shit and away from these fucking clowns. Shep is really drunk, and he surprisingly makes an exit too, before this gets too painful when he starts going after everyone again.
I think Craig should be a therapist, actually, with his communication style.
They go outside to smoke cigars in their stupid ass smoking jackets, where there are no cushions to sit on, as Austen pisses off of the porch. So fucking ghetto in this 10 million dollar mansion.
Did Austen and Taylor bang it out or not?? That is the question, that no one cares about.
Now there’s a reenactment of how the kiss went down between Austend and Whitney. Oh my God, I cannot!!! Like we needed that. These dudes are such dorks!
