Southern Charm 9/1/22

Annoyed with Naomie narrating every single episode in the recaps. Every single one.

Should be one of the originals like Kathryn, Shep, Craig, taking turns. One of my favorite FaceBook friends, who seems to read my mind, which is scary, pointed out it’s probably because of her ‘relationship’ with Whitney, who is the creator and producer of course. Duh. Blonde moment.

Whitney brings, ‘lunch’ for his mom who is just chillin inside. She complains, about a paper napkin, and not bringing the ‘proper’ knife, to sit outside and eat cheese and bread.

Austen calls and invites them to his ‘Friendsgiving.’ Whitney is going to Texas. (what’s in Texas?)

Patricia says she’s closest to Madison and Naomie, (her two little proteges) and wants to know if they will be in attendance. Apparently she will only accept if they are BOTH present. Doesn’t she have friends her age to hang out with? I was seeing that questioned on Twitter and FaceBook.

Naomie, of course is coming, she wouldn’t miss this for the world with Craig and Paige there.

Austen tells Pat about Whitney and Naomie banging. Pretty sure she probably already knew.

Now Naomie tells her mom about hooking up with Whitney. (Wish they would talk about something else! Can someone else hook up PLEASE???)

Of course she phrases it as “stayed the night” to make it more PG for mom. Jesus, were they really only there for one night? It seemed like a week.

So she “ended up staying an extra night with Whitney…” She says in her yap that “it never even entered her mind that she might be attracted to Whitney” Okay so you don’t say that to someone that you’re actually attracted to. You would say, like “I’ve always thought he was kind of cute and interesting …”

Well dearie maybe that is because you’re NOT attracted to him. Like really, he’s 24 years older, he’s old enough to be your father. Just admit what it is about him that you’re actually attracted to. We all know. Would she gave a 54 year old the time of fucking day if he wasn’t loaded? Fuck no. FUCK no.

Does she think in ten years, she is going to be happy with a 64 year old? When she’s only 40? Gimme me a break. And again! As she’s telling this to her mom, that coy embarrassing faces that she makes. It’s getting really weird.

Hey MOM guess what I fucked Whitney !!!! OMG I’m so embarrassed !!! Do you want the details???

If she’s so embarrassed, stop telling it to the whole fucking world. But honestly if she didn’t have this to talk about, there would be nothing, so whatever. Hopefully Whitney doesn’t have any problems in ‘that department’ wink wink if she’s going to pursue this relationship. Which I don’t think she does. Are they even together now? I don’t think so.

So shocker, her mom is completely on board with this, (pretty sure she wants her to ‘marry well’) and tells her she is “so smart” that she ‘needs’ someone older. Whatever the fuck that means??? Like mom like daughter. Both pretentious assholes. Is Naomie an only child? Guess they can bond over that. I’m really tired of hearing about it. I’m really over of picturing it, every time she mentions it and covers her fave or looks coy.

Craig keeps referring to them as ‘dating’ So I know they don’t film every freaking second, but that has me thinking, has there been an actual ‘date?’ I feel like if there was, it probably would have been pretty bougie, I would hope he wouldn’t take her to Wendy’s, and Naomie would be bragging about it like there’s no fucking tomorrow. I wish he would taker her dumb ass out, because I’m sick of hearing about how they’re fucking. She should be embarrassed. It’s kind of skanky.

Paige and Craig discuss her on way to grocery shop for his ‘Friendsgiving’ contribution. He tells her he was “totally fine with her” in Auldbrass. So guess he doesn’t recall freaking out when Austen told him about Whitney.

Then taking his discontent right along with him to dinner, and having a freaking scowl on his face the whole entire night? Banging on the bedroom door while they were doing the wild thing? Craig. What. Just stop. They both have unresolved issues/feelings for each other.

Craig tells her he likes going to the grocery store with her. That’s kind of cute. But we do have to keep reminding ourselves, they are still in early relationship stage, and they’re long distance, so they don’t spend huge wads of consecutive time together. That’s the true test. That’s when things started to go downhill with my ex. I was like who is this person that used to be so sweet and complimentary constantly? Now suddenly, even though I’m the same person, acting the same way, he’s a bitter angry old man that thinks everyone is out to get him. Whatever.

Venita and Madison meet up for a work out. Madison is shreddin for the weddin or something like that. So she still thinks there’s going to be a wedding in a year, that’s really cute. We have to give her credit for her optimism.

There has been a lot of SM buzz about Madison’s new oversized teeth, and I have to agree. I thought there was something weird about her face, but just couldn’t put my finger on it.

Now that I was reading the comments, I really do see it. That cosmetic dentist or whatever the hell you call it, did her wrong. She should get a refund. Were her teeth crooked before? I’ll have to pull up an old photo. Probably did it because it’s the cool thing to do now. Sounds like her.

Do these teeth make my mouth look big??

Apparently Venita is not invited to ‘Friendsgiving’ in addition to not being invited to Olivia’s oyster party. Perhaps because Austen is hosting it, and Olivia didn’t want her there. Guess I’m a little surprised because I thought they had buried the hatchet.

Apparently Olivia is holding a grudge. Honestly, I don’t blame her. I hope Ventia has learned from all of this, to not go around calling people racist for something to talk about, and to victimize herself. For no reason. Maybe she can explain what opportunities she doesn’t have that the rest do?

This was ‘cool’ two years ago, when everyone was afraid to address it, and sort of went a long with it, and just kept quiet. (which is what got Kathryn in trouble – she addressed it before ‘everyone else was’) Now we’re not havin it anymore, this fake victimizing. So many comments on SM disliking Venita for her “you’re a RACIST!!” rhetoric in the first handful of eps this season, directed at Kathryn and Olivia, and how inappropriate it was.

Which is what Kathryn was trying to tell whomever she was battling on SM, and got nailed to the cross for it two years ago. Venita looks pissed when Madison tells her about it, but she doesn’t say anything, or they didn’t air what she said. Again, let’s hope lesson learned.

Especially if she returns next season. IF Southern Charm even returns next season.

Madison goes on and on about this Brett dude. If Madison’s son’s dad is involved in his life, and is a good dad (which I thought she has said he is ) this is really disrespectful the way she goes on and on in her yap about what a great ‘parent’ Brett is to Hudson, as if he doesn’t have a dad. It’s Madison and it’s not surprising.

Shep and Taylor scene. He regrets, so he says in his yap, what went down in Auldbrass. So then how come he didn’t apologize immediately? How come it took four frickin people to tell him he’s an inconsiderate asshole and that Taylor is really upset, before he FINALLY decided to take responsibility for his behavior?

And what I just realized watching this and his yap professing how he’s going to be better at being a nicer person or whatever the fuck he said, didn’t we go through this spiel like two years ago, when they first started dating? Wasn’t he even going to therapy to discuss why he’s such an angry immature bonehead? He reminds me of Jax on Vanderpump, this constant “work in progress” rhetoric.

Whatever dude. You’re over 40 !!! He doesn’t even think he does anything wrong. After the argument in Aldebrass, he was walking around with his asshole up in the air, saying “this is how I am, I’m not going to change, we roast each other in my family, she needs to deal with it…

That is the reality of how he feels about this type of behavior directed towards others over nothing. So glad she dumped him. Probably has a tiny little dick even though he’s seven feet tall. He totally gives off teeny dick energy.

Taylor is making two dishes that are suitable for a twelve year old to make, as the first time he/she makes something all by themselves. They are both terrible. Jello banana pudding? what ??? Yuck. Sorry don’t mean to sound like a food snob, but I’m a “I’m a work in progress…”

You can tell in this terrible food making scene, Shep is trying to be on his best behavior. But do you really want to be with a dude that really has to really really try, and concentrate just to be a decent human? It’s sad because I really do think he loves her. Some people just don’t know how to ACT like they love you. Weird. Nobody’s perfect in relationships, but this personality type doesn’t realize that every day living is difficult, when they have explosive anger issues. About anything and everything.

Cream of Mushroom soup is the worst fucking thing on earth! It looks like a big glob of glue.

YUM!!! NOT !!!!

Okay so why is Taylor making excuses for him? This is how they banter??” He called her a fucking idiot for breaking his stupid egg, when he could have easily gotten another egg?

And if he was joking around, when he started hearing other’s reactions, read the fucking room!

Say okay that was an overreaction, sorry sweetie, and hug her and joke about how stupidly competitive you are. Be a good fucking human. Instead he was more concerned with being RIGHT and justifying it. Do you wanna be happy or do you wanna be right? Is she getting through to him?? who knows.

Sick of it.

Austen is setting up for Friendgiving. He’s making some kind of bourbon punch. I love a good punch bowl beverage, I don’t like bourbon though.

Austen’s little sister is so cute. She sort of comes off older than she is, not in a bad way. I don’t think she looks like him at all.

Paige is dressed in all black, although I do like her outfit. (cannot stand all black, you NEED a pop of color) She calls everyone in Charleston ‘basic beige betty. ’ Not sure if that’s accurate from what I’ve seen the cast wearing?? Also back to my black thing, I especially don’t like to see head to toe black, especially on brunettes. Blondes can pull it off better. Like she can’t even do a colorful headband? That’s even black?

So Paige is all dressed up and she’s going to help with this raw turkey? And okay I admit this didn’t occur to me until I saw the comment on Twitter, but when you brine a bird, is it not supposed to kept cold? I know it’s November, but it’s down south, not sure how cold it gets overnight. Kind of surprised Paige gets up off of her ass to help him. This won’t last long. She’s still trying to impress him.

Babe, I got up out of bed, and actually got dressed, to touch the raw meat just for you!!!

Kathryn arrives to Austen’s and she’s making ‘grape jelly’ meatballs. She calls this a ‘special recipe’ she got from her mom. So not shading her mom, at all, but this recipe was in magazines on the Heinz chile sauce ads all through the 90’s. I made them once. Just sayin. But it actually ties in with what Taylor is bringing. Basic recipes on the sides of boxes. Okay I’m really goin to try to stop talking like some kind of pretentious food snob. The mello yello pie Kathryn mentions in her yap? So that intrigues me? Probably a lemon meringue pie with the soda for the lemon flavor.

I stand corrected, I was curious so I looked it up and apparently it’s an apple pie? With Thanksgiving approaching maybe someone wants to give it a shot? Sounds more like dumplings than apple pie. This actually might be a fun spin on apple pie?

https://www.cooks.com/recipe/t44u64sl/mello-yello-apple-pie.html

I wonder if these were the meatballs she made at that horrible looking dinner she made for poor Chleb when they were arguing? She does remind me of the type of cook that knows how to make two things. They didn’t really look at all flavored or anything though.

Austen tells her and Katie that they he and Olivia are “done with the song and dance, and are going to make something happen here…” Still feel so bad for Ciara. You could tell at the Summer House reunion this really hurt her. It was very skeevy of him.

So that turkey is 16 lbs? It looked really small coming out of the fryer? It probably shrunk up I guess, but it seriously looked to be half that. Okay so I need to stop bitching about how small it was. I’ll just bitch about the trailer parky sides. Just kidding. I’m sure they’re not trailer parky.

Naomie arrives and Paige gives her this pissy ass ‘tude. Turns out she was pissed off, as I predicted, about Naomie yanking Craig into the dining room at Patricia’s to fish for info as to whether or not Craig was still into her.

She wanted the theatrics of ‘pulling him aside.’ Viewers on SM were calling them dramatic for bitching about the pulling to the side thing, as if it’s the end of the world. No, it’s not the end of the world, and what made them so annoyed about it, is she really had NOTHING substantial to say.

I feel like you feel awkward around me…” Really? Yes NaHOEmie – it IS awkward to be at the same events with your girlfriend and ex-girlfriend? It’s not worth this dramatic conversation in the dining room away from everyone. Get the hell off the show then.

How dare you say you don’t like my casserole!! Don’t you know I fucked Whitney???

Paige gives her outfit a judgy look. I’m not the biggest Paige fan, but I think she is right on her assessments of Naomie.

She announces she brought a salad and squash casserole. (what’s with all the fucking casseroles? Vickie from OC would be happy!!)

Was it bitchy for Paige to say “which I don’t like, and I don’t like that…” (especially when she didn’t bring anything, guess she thought she didn’t have to since Craig was doing the turkey, but it would have been a nice gesture) yes, it was bitchy, but Naomie deserves it.

Kathryn definitely approved of the snark.

You go girl !!!

Paige seems to be just make bitchy comments to make bitchy comments. And says “I don’t like bourbon. ” when Namomie says Austen’s punch is good.

She really does need to think of something else to say, other that “she doesn’t like…” everything Naomie brought and likes. Kind of lame.

Already Austen is being judgy about Craig handling the fried turkey situation. They flash to the scenes a few years ago when Craig was to be in charge of the meat and the grill at a stupid boys’ thing they were having. I do remember that episode, and it wasn’t a grill, it was a ‘smoker’ which is different from a grill, and he was researching how to operate it, since he never ‘smoked’ anything before.

Shep was being ya know, really Sheppy, and kept bitching and criticizing him the whole entire time. However, frying a turkey is not that complicated, ya drop it in the grease, and set the timer.

The biggest challenge is not burning the fucking house down, because it is a really large vat of a lot of hot grease.

Marcie arrives and brings a sweet potato casserole, which I will not judge, nor complain about, because I do like that. Sorry but I love marshmallows! Anything with marshmallows is good in my book!

Paige might be starting to feel a little embarrassed as all of the ladies arrive carrying huge heavy bags of prepared dishes, and Paige contributed about the same as she contributes on Summer House,which is NOTHING. She makes an awkward comment about being good at “take-out.”

What about desserts? No one brought desserts? Is that jello pudding crap the only dessert?

Now we add Shep to the mix, and of course HE brings up the smoker incident from 2 – 3 years ago. Shep sit down, what are you doing?? You made some gross jello crap that a monkey could have done.

Kathryn and Paige go outside to pow wow, and I guess Paige is angrier than what we thought, because she says if she wasn’t in this new group she “would have already popped off.” That’s a little extreme. I think what Naomie deserves, is just Paige not acknowledging her or giving her the time of day.

She starts telling Kathryn about the ‘pulling aside’ thing and that it was inappropriate to do in front of her. Which it was!!

The turkey is done and Craig handled it just fine (with Austen’s help) so the Mean Girls, Shep and Austen can just STFU about how he didn’t know how to “smoke’ meat, three fucking years ago.

Eat a dick SHEP !!!! It turned out great !!

They are taking the high-fiving a little too far though. They high fived after ever single fucking task that they did while cooking this turkey. Oh well at least they’re not bickering and crying.

Yay !! we’re the two best friends that anyone ever had !!!

Craig actually is scaring me too with the knife sharpening. Remember this is the dude that tried to off himself with a butter knife 3 years ago.

Bitch don’t piss me off !!!

Shep seriously throws bottles of wine down over the balcony to Craig, wtf. Red wine.

Everyone is sitting down, No one knows where to sit, and it’s a big big big deal.

I’m kind of liking boring Kathryn. I’d rather see boring Kathryn than flipout- over-nothing Kathryn.

Dinner goes off without a hitch and no one is screaming, nor has red wine thrown on them.

Shep is always yelling “Taylor!” as if he’s talking to Little Craig. (or Craig) She just leaned in for Naomie to take their picture. What the hell? He really is difficult. Silver spoon in mouth or not. Not worth it the hassle.

Paige gets annoyed at Naomie for trying to take Craig’s picture. She really is trying HARD to be the center of attention. But, she doesn’t have her fuck buddy here telling her about her ‘gait’ and naked shoulder. . . You do wonder how this would have gone with Paige here, and Naomie and Whitney being all cozy?

Does anyone know why Craig went nuts when Katie, Leva. Taylor and Naomie tied the napkins on their head in representation of the Pilgrims? On Thanksgiving? Because of the Indian/Pilgrim controversy thing? Or just because Naomie was doing it? He mumbles to Paige, “how can Naomie be so stupid?”

So this banana shit really is the only dessert??

Everyone is whining they’re cold, so it must have been cold enough for the turkey to brine outside. Also no one appears to be puking or have diarrhea, so it must have been fine.

Naomie, is at it again, with her “pulling to the side” and summons Paige to the porch.

Although I think it’s an exaggeration for Craig to call Naomie, “his crazy ex-girlfriend” it’s funny to see Leva this season the complete polar opposite of the crazy ass aggressive angry bitch she was last season. Do you guys remember her screaming at Austen to “SHUT THE FUCK UP!!” like six times in a row, on that boat, and her non-stop campaign of tearing down Kathryn for her SM kerfuffle.

So who is this person?? Now she’s all so calmly and motherly “Craaaaig you shouldn’t call her your crazy ex-girlfriend, use different words.” Like what the fuck?? Maybe she watched herself back and was embarrassed. Or I did hear that she is getting her own show? Can’t imagine that would be interesting.

Again what’s annoying about it, is that Naomie’s doing this shit without a plan. It’s like she’s so used to people kissing her ass I guess, and as soon as she starts to feel the energy of not kissing her ass, she gets all tongue tied. Also she has nothing really substantial or important to even say.

She starts off with there being a “disconnect.” Paige tells her that her first impression is to like someone new she meets , but this constant rhetoric of trying to get Craig to say he still likes her is coming off so desperate. But everything about Naomie is coming off as desperate.

She asks her “Do you have feelings for Craig, still?” She hesitates and says – “no, no no no no.” That’s a lot of no’s??

Bitch What ???

Kind of sounds like “yes, yes yes.”

Naomie is stuttering. Paige says she should have just came to her, and not address it with Craig.
