That was a little bit of a tease in the previous episode. Who else thought that Taylor was going to spill the damned beans finally, and admit they hooked all the way up, and not just ‘made out.’ I can’t even believe I’m saying these words discussing people in their thirties.
Taylor simply reiterates what she’s been saying.
Taylor and Olivia back and forth, same shit, along with and Shep, who acts like her drunken, sweaty weirdo cheerleader.
Austen chirps in with his uzse. Venita and Madison need to back the hell off. It’s not cool that everyone is ganging up on Taylor. Those two have zero skin in this game. Previous to this, they were not the least bit close, or even very friendly with Olivia, at all.
Not sure what Taylor was thinking in the “I love and adore my brother, as you love and adore your brother.” She didn’t even use past tense. Well I guess that would have been worse.
It was a little crass, and poor choice of words, but then again Olivia is not really behaving like a girl that just lost her only sibling five minutes ago, is she? I’m surprised she didn’t ask to be taken out of filming and out of her contract so she could grieve accordingly, like a normal fucking person. I just can’t get over her obsession with all of this, given what has just taken place. It seems really unhealthy.
Taylor didn’t say it in a malicious way. She said it in a not thinking way. And maybe if Olivia acted like a grieving sister, Taylor wouldn’t have sort of forgotten that he died two weeks ago. I do think she should have followed that up with an apology for the way it came out, but she just keeps talking and acts really oblivious. This chick is definitely off this season. I mean, really.
Taylor, Olivia and Venita all leave the table. Madison’s been going in so hard defending Olivia, however she can’t peel her drunken ass off of her chair to make sure she’s okay. She’d much rather sit at the table with six dudes. She does look like a sloppy mess in this scene. Austen is right.
Madison keeps trying to praise Taylor, for addressing the table like she did, but after six glasses of wine, can’t quite get it out. Even not after six glasses of wine, she’d have trouble getting it out.
JT scolds Austen, who then storms off like a bitch. Whitney scolds JT for scolding Austen. MY GOD, I’m kind of missing Kathryn.
So Taylor is so fucking bright, she goes out onto her terrace and calls her brother, which is sad because we now know the fate of Taylor’s brother. Which is all so sad, and crazy coincidental.
Olivia, who is hyperventilating, can hear Taylor from her balcony. Why, Olivia, if you’re this distraught over his death, are you sitting here haggling and melting down over a kiss between an ex sort-of-kind-of boyfriend, and your friend?? Is this really the priority?
Venita, who is suddenly faking being Olivia’s best friend, seems a little out of her element in having to comfort her. At least it’s better than last season, when she was accusing her of being racist.
Taylor tells her brother that Olivia loves Austen, and then hates him, loves him again, then hates him again, which is accurate. She also points out they weren’t really anything to begin with. Olivia was just fucking mercilessly chasing him, and he kept telling her that he didn’t want anything serious with her. He was still pining over Madison at that point, if you all recall.
Olivia storms into Taylor’s room and lets her know that she can hear her. Taylor is just kind of something else this season, is she not? Unless they cut it out, she seems unfazed, and just sort of continues her conversation with her brother, who is reassuring her she’s not doing anything wrong. You can’t make this shit up.
She also tells him that she doesn’t regret anything, after she’s been profusely apologizing, and reminding everyone that she’s apologizing. What the hell is in the water down there? These people are fucking wacko.
Meanwhile Craig drones on and on to a shitfaced hiccuping Madison about all of these shenanigans. Craig’s hiccup remedy is for her to tell herself that she’s not a fish. Well those overfilled lips, make her look like she’s a fucking fish, so I don’t think it’s going to work.
******
Everyone is home. Madison and Brett have a little chat, that sort of proves my theory that I don’t really think these two have spent a lot of extended time together. She wants to host a dinner party and have Paige and Craig over. I wish Bravo would stop trying to make Paige and Madison happen.
******
So I found this interesting. JT and Rod chat, and Rod encourages him to go for Taylor, and reassures him that he sees that they have a connection, and whatever. However, HOWEVER, he keeps bitching at Austen on the inappropriateness of possibly dating her, but it’s fine for JT?? Not to mention, Rod tried to go for Olivia, and he’s friends with Austen. Are there any other single people in Charleston besides these six people? We have JT into Taylor, Taylor into Shep and Austen, she can’t decide. Austen into Taylor and Olivia, he can’t decide, Rod into Olivia. Like wtf ? We’re going to have a full-blown orgy here soon.
******
Taylor and Olivia each called the respective moms. Olivia’s mom says what I’ve been saying, not bragging, that this isn’t healthy for her right now, to be obsessed with this Austen and Taylor thing. I posted this thought on a Southern Charm chat page, and I had people telling me who am I to tell people how they should grieve, and all of this shit. I mean, it’s a chat page for posting your thoughts, and opinions, so to ask me who am I to give my opinion’ and things like that, makes people sound stupid, but you can’t make them see that.
Taylor’s mom reminds her that Olivia just lost her brother and may need a little grace, and maybe she should back off, and drop the whole thing, at at least for now. I mean, fucking DUH-UH.
Austen talks to his sister about Olivia, and how she gets triggered by his presence and I tend to agree, but I’m so tired of talking about it. The reunion is coming up, so we have that to look forward to, and hearing the exact same conversations, except wearing nicer clothes.
After all of that drama and how much she hates him, in Jamaica, she invites him to take a walk on the beach with her, and they chat about the Oscars all night. But Austen does the same fucking thing with her, so I just don’t even know what the fuck to say. These people are fucking nuts. They remind of me of these nutjobs that I know. Only younger (so at least they have that as an excuse) and much better looking.
I see Madison is still kissing Patricia’s ass. She’s still hoping to be named in the will. She’s getting ready for this dinner party thing. I’m not sure about her little orange branch decorations. They are tacky.
She asks Patricia some dinner party tips. Well, she already has the table set with these horrible fake oranges, so she definitely needs help. She also needs some serving advice which she didn’t ask for.
******
Do we love this new calm confident Craig? See what happens when you have a partner that’s not a mean fucking dick, constantly criticizing you and creating drama? Yes I’m talking about NaHOmie. Granted he was going through his lazy phase when they were together, but still. You know what I mean. She’s an entitled spoiled brat, and treated him crappy.
Craig points out to Paige, and you can kind of tell it’s a minor dig, but he’s not being all crazy about it, that Madison and Brett are married, and they met after they did. He makes her a tuna sandwich and they decide it looks like a $20 sammy. My ex used to do that when I made him fabulous dinners. We would guess how much it would cost in a bougee restaurant. I miss him so much. Haahaahaa, just kidding. He’s a fucking worthless disloyal loser ghetto piece of shit. What the hell was I doing? He has an ugly slutty chick now, or again, or still. I’m sure they’re both very very happy, and had a great time spending the holidays together. Lol. I won’t even get into that. I’ll spare you.
He addresses with her his disappointment, in the fact that she keeps putting him off, moving to South Carolina.
(Paige)
Craig is getting fed up with a long distance thing, and I think Paige finds it fun and exciting, to be a part-time girlfriend hopping on a place every three or four days.
I don’t think she wants to get married and have kids with him at all, and I wish she would just say that because it makes me sad that she’s wasting his time. There aren’t many successful guys that really all they want, is to get married and have kids. It’s not that she’s against it completely, I just don’t think she’s feeling it with Craig. I think he’s letting her off the hook, and making it too easy for her. He tells her he knows that she’s not ready. Well like, why isn’t she ready? She’s 30ish, and he’s 35. They’ve been seeing each other for like two years?? At what point do we think she’ll be ready? She’s just going to wake up one day and be ‘ready?’ No.
I was a little surprised that he says to her, “it’s not the end of the world if we don’t end up together” That seemed to get her attention but, she still didn’t seem too concerned that he said that. We’ll see if anything changes, but I really don’t think so. It’s been several months since filming wrapped, and I haven’t heard that there’s anything official.
******
Shep and Whitney meet up and Shep has a boner over the thousand dollar whiskey that they’re drinking.
Or maybe it’s just Whitney giving him a Boner
It’s not too long before they’re discussing Austen, and then Taylor. Apparently, she popped over to Shep’s while he was entertaining two women. I don’t even wanna know. I might throw up.
I’m baffled that Taylor even wants to give the time of day to this fucking trash that is Shep Rose. Taylor’s newest excuse having to interact with him, is to drop her dog off, when she’s not home. Desperate chicks do desperate things I guess. Shep vows to talk to her, and set boundaries, and remind her that they’re not getting back together, that he has no interest in getting back together.

Madison’s dinner party night. I don’t get why she’s starting to serve the food before they even arrive. It’s going to be cold, and you’re supposed to chill, and have a drink and an appetizer before you sit down to dinner. I guess when she called Patricia, she didn’t let her know that.
And you’re supposed to have a salad first, and you don’t do ‘family style.’ You plate the fucking food. This is making me kind of annoyed actually.
I feel like Paige always leads Craig on by talking about how cute Charleston is, and acting like she likes it, when I don’t think she likes it at all.
Craig was getting dragged in this scene, for having an open beer in the car on the two minute ride to Madison and Brett’s. Who the hell cares, it was one beer. I don’t get some of these pearl clutching Bravo viewers. Seems like a weird trait for someone watching trash TV.
At any rate, I think it’s cute how they don’t take themselves seriously, and both have a good sense of humor. NaHOmie would’ve been losing her shit if Craig was pouring a beer out in the front yard.
Brett is so stinkin’ adorable and handsome. He looks like a model, and so sweet, calm, and well mannered. He doesn’t just pretend to be. He treats her like a princess, and she’s such a fucking bitch. Around him she doesn’t seem to be, at least from what we’re seeing. But I foresee that changing.
I guess she is trying to take the credit for the pasta. I thought she was kidding. They start comparing their respective long distance relationships, but Brett and Madison have a bit of a complex about their marriage being referred to as ‘long distance.’ I mean, his job is in California. They keep trying to sell this as normal, that he leaves for work and comes home like everyone else. Okay, fine, but four-five days later. Not to mention the time involved with traveling, and the back and forth to the airport. But hey, I’m not necessarily knocking it. It seems to work for them. I don’t know how else anybody would put up with Madison.
I think it’s awkward for Craig when he has to make excuses for Paige, for not wanting to move in with him. She announces that she’s not ready to move down here, live in a cul-de-sac and have a baby. That pisses Craig off, but since he’s a mature adult, he SOMEHOW manages to not melt down, spiral, and have an embarrassing hissy fit. Hmmmmmm. Imagine that. INMAGINE ACTING LIKE AND ADULT.
Madison says in her yap, and I will admit makes a good point, that makes actual sense, that she didn’t necessarily picture herself settling down, and being a wife, and wanting to have a baby, but after she met Brett, it changed. So, yes, the fact that Paige isn’t feeling the same, is cause for concern.
I just don’t know if I see a lot of connection, and sexual energy between Craig and Paige. They seem a little more like friends.
So the episode on the fourth next week is the finale. Have you all checked out the reunion looks?? I am ready to wrap this the fuck up!!
