Southern Charm on Bravo

Shep is a POS and Craig is playing stupid, neither are attractive qualities.
C'mon @Swanky , seriously .. I don't think Craig needs to play stupid .. he is not the brightest bulb in the world! He's attractive, I will give him that, but absolutely 0% motivation and I don't know, for me, that is a total turn-off!
 
Bravo stepped up the PR with the old grey lady.
This was published today about Patricia:

Not a bad article with nice pictures and a few unknown facts to me.:smile:
I just LOVE her; she reminds me of a (now deceased) relative of mine who was just brutally honest, but never in a mean-spirited way. You can always count on these ladies to give you the real-deal. HA - interesting, we share a mutual group - the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) .. although, I am for sure a Yankee!
 
Omg the finale! I have just started watching but my goodness, so far...
It comes out that Shep did hit on Madison 4 years back, told her that he wanted to be the first person she called when she got divorced. I would not be surprised if they actually had sex back then.
Then Shep said about Madison "she wouldn't last a second in my world," - yet another time he is trying to put her in her place, as if she is so far beneath him.
Shep is bringing one of the Austen threesome video girls to Patricia's party, Craig bringing the other.
He obviously wants to drive Madison into a frenzy of jealously. Why though? Because her family is not "good enough" to publicly socialise with Shep and his friends and he wants to humiliate her so badly that she breaks up with Austen?

Ashley seems on the very edge of sanity and obviously doesn't care that slagging Patricia off to Eliza whilst at the hairdresser's is not very discreet and will surely get around Charleston in two seconds.

I am not liking this Bailey character. Shep and her dated previously and now she is "just friends" with him? She is boring and just another pretty girl from a "good enough family" who hooked up with someone in the group.

I kind of need a diagram at this point of who has hooked up with who on this show as it is all starting to get confused.

Shep is so stinking jealous of Austin and Madison being together he just reeks of it. Jealous, jealous, jealous! And him bringing the video girl tot he party shows just how jealous he is - trying to get back at Madison like that. The girl Shep brought looked a bit washed up and messy....hair undone, front of dress looking stretched out or something, just a plain looking sleep around type! (and I say that because look who she came with!) Craig bringing the other girl just made him look stupid, but not as stupid as the weird furry collar that girl had on her dress/top.
 
After watching the whole show I have to say I suspect that Shep set up that whole thing with Austen and the two girls. Maybe even let Madison know somehow that she should go over to Austen's.
Shep has been hooking up with one of them for three years! He has more than a little connection to the whole thing.

Shep seemed very close to having a breakdown about Austen and Madison (who both seemed very happy, healthy and remarkably calm and in control given the circumstances).
His passion about their relationship made me wonder if he has some more than friendship feelings for Austen. Losing his intimate connection to Austen might be his fear, not Madison in particular. If he is hiding something, it could explain his drinking and overall rage issues.

Poor Cameran seemed very lost as to how to deal with Shep. And Cameran's husband seemed equally lost about what was going on with Metul who I noticed said "it's not harassment if it's welcomed!" :shocked:
 
Yes, duh, Craig. It's just occurring to you that this is a set-up to embarrass Austen? You thought you were supposed to like the girl you escorted to the event? Are those two girls "professionals? "
I did wonder if they got paid for the threesome with Austen. I do think Shep had something to do with that.

Kathryn always dresses "in character" for the events on this show. It would be interesting to see her dress more normally.
