Southern Charm Reunion Part 1 – 1/11/24

Did the finale end with a ‘cliffhanger’ as Andy states??

JT and Austen getting into that stupid, whatever-the hell, I can’t even call if a fight. That was a cliffhanger? There was no fucking cliffhanger. JT handed Austen’s ass to him.

Andy get A grip. Austen pushed him, JT head butted Austen in the chest, then Austen went outside and cried. I’m not even exaggerating how pathetic of a fight this was between two fucking dudes.

It was embarrassing. I could kick someone’s ass worse than that. I could kick Austen’s ass worse than that.

******

I love the ladies’ looks, except Olivia. I’m not a fan of the pointy shoulder pads. That’s something that just needed to stay in the 80’s. And something is just off about her face and whole demeanor. She looks terrible, and I’m not saying that in a bitchy way. I’m saying it in a concerned away. We know she’s wearing makeup of course, but she still looks pale, and extremely thin, and gaunt. I think she’s embarrassed that she’s going to have to admit she’s been hooking up with Austen. And she’s making the Taylor faces. Which are the weird twitches she does every time she sees her.

Leva, maybe too much boobage? There’s a point where it’s too much, and not flattering, but desperate. Like put them away. Isn’t ‘the huzzzband’ paying attention to them or what? (Salt Lake shout out)

JT’s being weird.

I usually don’t comment on what the guys are wearing, because who cares, they’re guys.

But I’ll make an exception. Shep’s olive cord suit looks ridick. Craig looks really good. And happy. See what being in a normal healthy relationship does to you verses when you’re in a relationship with fucking evil entitled piece of shit??

Is JT wearing a smoking jacket?? And why is he sitting like a girl?

So I did take note of this about Madison. She got all huffy in some of the eps about her relationship being referred to as ‘long distance.’ However she sits here, and also calls it long distance, and even brags about the dynamic, that it’s what makes it work so well, because who could put up with her full-time?

She does keep repeating that, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s even in jest or not. Does Brett get concerned that she keeps saying that?

No pregnancy has happened yet. Not surprised. I don’t think she’s going to get have a kid with this dude.

He’s gone 3 – 4 days (per week) and home, the rest.” ‘The rest?’ Girl, there are only seven days in a week. That’s 50 – 60 % of the week. And one of those days is most likely spent getting ready to leave again, and traveling to the airport. So they’re spending probably 2 – 2.50 days together per week, under the same roof. And this poor kid flying back and forth constantly between California and South Carolina, a 3 -4 hour flight.

But all of that aside, let’s just pretend that it’s normal. Who woulda thunk that Madison is, you know, like the adult in the room?? I’ll be honest, last season when she did this big engagement announcement, I never even thought this marriage was going to happen.

Is this really a sustainable marriage, one has to wonder. He seems obsessed with her, and really sweet, so I guess that’s good, so I don’t think she should worry about loyalty. I think maybe he’s the one that should be worried about that to be honest.

Andy appears to think it’s fishy too.

Oh he’s home the ‘rest’ of the week ?

I like how Shep says monotony in place of monogamy, who usually does not get words confused. I guess they do kind of mean the same, but not necessarily in a bad away. Even if every day isn’t this big exciting adventure, there’s something so comforting in knowing you have a person that will have your back no matter what, and that you can put all of your trust in, to love and support you, and not want to hurt you, for their own sick warped personal gain. Also not boning someone else if you have a disagreement.

Leva. Please shut up. I don’t know why she feels the need to lecture Shep on taking care of a child. Her little ‘ Shep pep talk’ – first of all, isn’t the one you give a dude about having kids.

Let’s face it, the guys aren’t usually involved in the day to day ‘monotony’ of care giving, as she drones about bathing her son. Second of all, this is Shep. Does she really think her little story landed with him, at all?? He doesn’t even have a girlfriend? It’s a little premature to school him on the beauty of having children.

She thinks she sounds so profound. Does she really think Shep thinks bathing a child every night sounds ‘beautiful?’

I honestly think he, Austen and Whitney are all gay. Nothing wrong with it, just stop pretending.

And I really believe it of Shep, now that I hear he’s terrible at pleasing.

There’s some back and forth between Austen and JT that’s funny because clearly JT has binged all of the seasons. He repeats Austen calling Madison a monster.

In all fairness, to Austen, Madison was really, really shitty to him with her constant name calling and cutting him down for no reason. It just seemed like she went so low. and I’m not sure THEN (now a differemt story) that he really deserved. He really wasn’t the prick we’re seeing today.

I guess we can blame Bravo fame, multiple women being into him? Shep’s influence? Whatever it is, it all went to his head in a big douchey way. If you remember when he was with Madison, she was kind of the dick in the relationship, talking to other guys, leading him on, and jerking him around.

I think she made him cry at that reunion when he called her a monster. She was being very cunty. This is why I have a hard time with her southern belle sweetheart persona that she puts on for Brett.

Anywho, I just wanted to point that out for any who may have forgotten.

JT and the tucking the hair behind the ear as he tries to sound like a tough guy. Does he know he doesn’t really need to do that? Did he used to have long hair? Did he used to be a girl?

Olivia looks like she does NOT want to be here. Leva’s tits are ready to pop right out of that dress.

Shep’s tongue gets tired, is his excuse for you know, lack of certain skills.

No one in the group thinks Paige is moving to Charleston ‘full-time.’ I don’t either, and that makes me sad that she’s wasting his time.

I don’t buy Shep’s story that it it weren’t for being on the show, he and Taylor would be married.

I don’t think the show had anything to do with him talking to, making out, fucking, whatever, other women when they were together.

He’s clearly saying this kind of crap now because Taylor has FINALLY moved on, and has stopped pining over him, and has a boyfriend. I think it’s big of Shep to admit Taylor was right in her analysis of him.

Olivia’s face every time Taylor opens her mouth, I just can’t. If she has been back to hooking up with Austen, but is still so hateful towards Taylor, makes NO sense.

I’m surprised the death of Taylor’s brother hasn’t been brought up. Maybe she asked that it not be, or we’re getting into that next week.

Okay, this bugged me, but not surprising since I’m not the biggest Leva fan. And this is why I’m not a fan of Leva. Like lose the self-righteous bullshit. She forgets everyone here is single, other then Madison. There’s nothing wrong with being flirty when you’re single. Did Taylor push it a little bit in these texts to Whitney, and was Whitney a bad choice? Yes. But she doesn’t deserve to be crucified for it, and humiliated.

And it sucks that Whitney showed everyone, but should she be surprised? He’s the producer of the show, of course he’s going to use it for part of the drama.

Leva announcing that she saw the whole thread, as Taylor tries to make light of it, was just – shitty. She’s the one that appears to me to be the bored Housewife.

Andy steps in, in her defense which was nice of him. We don’t usually use the word ‘nice’ and Andy in the same sentence. He didn’t like the way she got shamed for it.

And what does Lava Head do, as she sits here with her titties all out, trying to sound like Mother Theresa? She further shames her for it. It’s coming off as jealous that no one wants to see a nude pic of her. Probably not even her husband.

Do you think I should send Whitney a nude too??

And why does Whitney never have to explain himself at the reunion? If he doesn’t want to be part of the reunions, then he should not be involved in the show, and stay behind the scenes. Do we really need him and Patricia??

I feel like we talked about this way too long. Everyone is coming off as jealous of Taylor, if you ask me.

Why is Leva so obsessed with Shep and Taylor?? Is she this bored? Thought she was havin’ another kid, two years ago?? I guess you have to have sex with your husband first, which I seriously doubt is happening. She seems really sexually frustrated.

Now we get into Bravocon and I’m assuming you all heard how Shep was blacked out drunk and got thrown out of a casino for trying to fight with a game dealer.

New boyfriend was pissed that Shep slapped Taylor’s ass, which he does not remember doing.

Okay so here we go, this big dramatic speech, that Shep wants to share, which I had hopes that he had some sort of resolution in mind, but, NO, he didn’t. He just stutters and stammers, admitting he thinks he has a problem with alcohol. But he’s not planning to get sober, he’s not going to rehab, he’s not leaving the show so he can work on himself. His big proposal is to drink beer only, and not hard alcohol.

Apparently he tried to organize some meeting in real life, to make this presentation, not for cameras, believe it or not, and wanted the guys to join him, but they refused.

Some people are just good at making these fucking big foolish declarations in the presence of others, I guess trying to convince themselves it will hold them accountable??

Well it won’t work, if you’re nothing but a dishonest conniving pathological liar.

He claims BravoCon was some sort of wake up call, or rock-bottom type moment, but was it?

He’s embarrassed by it, for sure, but was it really enough to convince himself to change?

There was a season like several years ago, when Cameron was still on, and she was trying to tell him that he has a problem. That may or may not have been the same season, that he was worried he was having health issues due to his heavy drinking, and he vowed to just stop doing shots.

Craig reminds him that they’ve been down this road before and they’re just not interested in empty promises.

Shep admits how one of his problems is that he doesn’t really have “a thing” as far as a job, career path or passion, other than going out drinking constantly. I guess this is what happens when you are in your fucking forties, and have your mommy and daddy still giving you checks. It taught him to never pursue a career, or even a fucking job, or interest.

What’s so sad is he would have the money (from his parents of course) to put into a business idea.

So now that he’s admitting this, Craig was right last season when Shep was sort of ‘picking on him’ that he was jealous of his success. Didn’t he even sneer “jealous of YOU??”

Okay so Andy is sick of all of the blabbity blab word salad, and asks – “what are you doing about it? Did you quit drinking?”

Are you going to put your parent’s money where your mouth is?

No, I don’t drink liquor, I don’t take shots.”

Taylor’s take when asked: “He feels really empty inside and tries to overcompensate by acting like an idiot”

Hmmmmm.

I really thought he was going to exit the show. I mean, this is Shep, what was I thinking? He’s like the Kyle of Beverly Hills, or Theresa of Jersey. He thinks he IS the show.

Andy suggests maybe he take a break. So Andy is sick of his dumb shit. You can tell Shep doesn’t like that idea. He would never walk away from the show. He needs it. It’s all that he has.

I cannot even listen to Olivia ranting about Austen and Taylor anymore.

Forgive as you want to be forgiven.”

Which boils down to the fact that a 20 year old Olivia boned a 50 year old Thomas Ravenal.

I mean, eeeuwww. If I was going to fuck a 50 year old when I was 20, he better damned well look like Brad Pitt. Ravenal does NOT look like Brad Pitt.

She’s so pissed at Taylor for announcing this, however not mad at Madison who announced it at last season’s reunion, when Madison was just being bitchy cunty Madison, and they were not getting along, due to what else, Austen.

This season though, they were besties. I mentioned the strangeness of that in a few of my recaps.

Anywho, that fires Olivia up even more, who just gets going at the sight of Taylor. I can see Taylor’s point being that she also has done things she’s not proud of, however she didn’t really do any type of betrayal to a friend, if she didn’t know Kathryn.

For crissakes, are there ANY other effing guys in Charleston besides the Southern Charm cast?? This is getting ridiculous.

And the math ain’t mathin. Olivia claims she was 20, and “FA-RESH out of college” when this hook-up went down. Olivia is 31.

Taylor’s like – “not so fast, you said it was five years ago.”

I’m not sure how relevant this is, but I do know she walks past Taylor and calls her a see you next Tuesday, when Madison actually outed her last season. Where’s the hateful energy and ‘c’ word towards Madison?
