Certainly true. To be fair, Katie has been hard on Schwartz though, no? They don’t show us all conversations in their entirety, but I think Katie’s been clear about Schwartz..

I wonder if the point being made is that Shep has a very troubling alcohol abuse problem, contributed to by his dilettante lifestyle. So I believe that what is being stated is that when one has such an alcohol problem, one has to address ALL forms of alcohol. Not just limit one kind. Once one has reached the stage of blacking out often enough, for a weekend, that person must address all alcohol, including beer, as this fuels the slippery slope. I worry for his recovery due to his self-indulgent party lifestyle. As he does not have to be accountable to a normal job, he enjoys his life going to bars, getting food, seeing friends out, and I think it will be very difficult for him. Now that Whitney has this liquor room, and JT has this speakeasy, I suspect that Shep will have a very challenging road ahead of him in conquering his habits. I wish him well. He needs to do something constructive with his life: writing, traveling and blogging, charity work, there is a lot to contribute in this world, regardless of 'wealth'. It appears that his siblings do work. Completely agree re the alcohol. Shep's approach seems immature. He obviously can't envision not drinking, which is worrying. I believe Taylor's birthday is October 19, 1994, which would make her turning 30 this year.

Well, I’m not sure I understand the significance & merit of having a boyfriend? It’s not exactly a skill to stalk a man, nor is it interesting to watch. A boyfriend doesn’t make Venita, or Leva any more or less interesting. Having and stalking Shep has been Taylor’s only storyline. What else does she do, other than sleep at Austen’s, send Whitney nude pics, or chase Shep. Not exactly an interesting person, and unlikeable. Time for adding fresh peeps!

The dog ran out of the house, and it appeared that it wasn't her fault. I believe someone else let the dog out...so sad, she was devastated...

Yep, prob when they dated, and she was behaving like this nearly 30. Tay Tay is hung up on Olivia & Shep, needs to get a life too, LOL.

I agree that they are both drama queens. However, it was Taylor who kept trying to be friends again, with her insincere apologies, and her drama queen soliloquy at dinner in Jamaica. Olivia appears to be reacting to Taylor's continuous pursuit of her friendship. Taylor has been relentless in her pursuit, and Olivia has been constant in her refusal and disinterest. So Olivia isn't hung up on the friendship, she's reacting to Taylor's continued drama and insincerity. What was with Taylor's drama queen speech at dinner, requiring her to stand up and make a big deal about her apologies, and dramatically leave the table to call her brother?? Get over it Taylor! Olivia does not want to be friends, and you are not an angel. End of.

She was born in 1994, so 29 actually!

I don’t think so. Young? Over 30. ( Correction 29) No one can force anyone to to anything they don’t want to do. She needs to get a life, not following Shep around, showing up at his parties, showing up at his house late night, texting him all the time for hookups. She was stalking him on her own. He never proposed to her, yet she quit her job to go traveling with him, and apparently didn’t treat her well, no surprise.

To be fair, they are all trying to “make it big.” The only ones who have true big money here are Shep & Whitney (old money). Venita, Leva & Madison are the only ladies with true lives and solid, established careers, outside of this show. Taylor was a dental tech I believe. She gave that up in pursuit of Shep, and in pursuit of fame from this show. This entire season has been her following Shep around & trying to win Shep back with her games, dangling Austen & trying to make Shep jealous with her nude pics to Whitney. Absolutely Nothing of interest to offer, why is this over 30 yr old still here??

Too funny. (Albeit tragic.) No, during the season you had the episode when Whitney had the guys over to his Mom’s (and Shep was just learning about this) and Whitney stated that he believed they had slept together. Craig had also stated outright either then, or in Jamaica, that they had. Madison stated it, as well as Leva. No one believed what Austen and Taylor were selling, except JT who wanted to extend ‘grace’ to his love interest. Remember A and T had agreed to tell the lies, but the word was that they had slept together, despite ‘hand on bible’ protests to anything at all occurring. So odd that both brothers died, wonder if they used together?

We do not know “all they did” because most of the cast has reason to believe that they slept together. That includes Craig, Madison, Leva, Whitney, and we know for a fact that Taylor is a class A repeat liar, so can’t believe anything she says, as is Austen. But agree, boring cast and crew. It’s no longer the show about the Upper Crust in Charleston. That’s fine that shows evolve, but this cast of characters, boring. Austen’s constant drivel: boring. Personally I find JT more interesting!

Absolutely agree. Sadly, it really highlights deep shadiness.

Well, it's his company, with paid employees, so not exactly the same, but very good for him.

EVERYTHING here is fabulously spot on, Bravo! Shep's speech, and let's not forget the baby whispering too, LOL. "And then him stammering and stuttering (this is Shep, the most well spoken man probably on any reality show)" And Taylor is that worst type of Bible quoting faux 'Christian.' Let's not forget "What would Jesus do?" Tay leave Jesus out of this. "I can't stand Olivia or Taylor at this point but I have to say I rooted for Olivia when Taylor snipped her little Bible quote about forgiveness with her church lady pursed lips and Olivia about lost it." 👏👏👏

Exactly! Probably young 35 year olds! 😅😅
