Mia - if your fiend really wants to live in denial you're not being a good friend by digging up dirt and confronting her about it ON CAMERA.

 

I feel like Mia needs a storyline now that she doesn't work at Republic and she decided this is it, friendships be damned.

I feel like Bradley is dating Lucia just so she can remain on the show.

Poor Emmy. Not only did her boyfriend possibly kiss another girl, but more tragically her “best frenemy” Maddie convinced her to wear blue when it was a pink day! Will cheating? No biggie. But all of the girls looked absolutely devastated when they couldn’t figure out whether it was blue or pink day. Did they run out of limes because Emmy had to stop slicing and run home?  Will Republic ever recover from this dress debacle?!?

Why am I watching this show?!?

Seems like they brought in Oisin just to stir the pot a la JT on th flagship.

It was nice to see Landon again, I wonder if she's just visiting or staying in Charleston.

Aren’t you supposed to pan fry the chicken parm before baking it?

Yes, the answer is yes. Now I'm hungry for chicken parm.

Emmy’s suit in Miami is sooooo cute! I wish I still had the body for it! Oisin (no clue how to spell it) was such an ass in this episode. Glad everyone stood up for Mia and didn’t let him get away with it. 

[Panda Bear]

I like this season more than last and the show's getting a reunion, but I feel like no one's really talking about it. I wonder if it'll get another season.

Maybe Grace Lilly and her cat should just get a spinoff. I feel like the only cast members I like are her and then Mia and Lucia, who don't even work at Republic anymore. I guess Emmy's okay, but every time she and Will talk about their relationship, I have a hard time keeping my eyes open. 

[goofygirl]

And this stupid Dani and Trevor business is the worst!!  SHE is actually the WORST but her BF is right up there with her!

[snarts]

Maddi is crazy. 

Did I hear there's a reunion? Please please please

[CallmeCray]

I am cracking up at the “FAIR-WELL WILL” sign.  

I picture producers chucking, as well.  

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

I was so confused about this phone call, so Maddi was on the call, then lied and faked and cried to Joe about it. So she is going to lose all her friends/co-workers over this dumbass boyfriend? As someone who has a family member who is a recovering addict, they are used to lying. I found Grace Lilly so unlikeable last season, but I like her this season. Joe is fake and two-faced.

[Salacious Kitty]

All this drama, then they broke up. Maddi needs to remove herself from Republic; she's alienated everyone except Joe.

It sounds like Maddi is the Reality Von Tease (Monica RHSLC) of this show. She went to great lengths to record and edit this phone call to make it seem like her boyfriend did NOT cheat on her, and throw Bradley under the bus as a bonus—but knowing all along that her boyfriend DID cheat on her. Why not just say, yeah, I know my boyfriend has repeatedly cheated on me, but I don’t care? Had she not tried to confront the girl at the party, she might have even gotten away with it, but instead she’s screeching at her about lying and trying to assault her. (Though, the let’s talk outside and locking her out made me chuckle. As did everyone saying, Maddi, you don’t live here!) But both seasons Maddi has had a storyline about her love story for the ages, and how everyone is out to sabotage her relationship. They started off as looking out for her as a friend last season. But she has made it very clear the lengths she will go to to try to make this douchebag seem like he’s Prince Charming and these jealous nobodies are out to slander his good name. What does this man give you—besides STDs? He drags tourists around in a pedicab, and he’s not even cute. He’s not worth all of this espionage.

[snarts]

Maddi, Joe and Oisin did themselves no favors at the reunion. Andy looked downright disgusted by Oisin at one point, and shocked by Joe & Maddi's inability to acknowledge their own behavior and lies. 

Leva didn't come off much better, looking like she holds the women to the much higher standard than the guys.

Emme cried. JT came off like the true voice of reason and the glue that's holding this hodgepodge group together,.

I wonder why Mikel wasn't there.

JT shared the DM he'd received from Joe. Wow, someone's got a big head.

[Panda Bear]

Joe Bradley and Maddi seem to have gotten big heads after the first season, but they came off the worst this season, especially at the reunion. I hope they feel a little humbled. 

I'd kind of thought the Lucia and Bradley thing was all for the show before, and now I definitely think that. 

[Marigold66]

I agree this season was way better than the first one.  I can't believe how much Maddi made a fool of herself over Trevor.  Boy is the equivalent of bland oatmeal.  Not cute and boring personality to boot.  I'm sure she'll be embarrassed once she grows up a little bit and gains some perspective.  And sorry, Joe Bradley is NOT it.  He reminds me of a used car salesman with his slicked back hair and smarmy vibe.  Ick.

And he's bounced on Danielle already!  That girl has got to be a wreck after this.  Not going to lie though, I'm kind of hoping she dumped him.  He's heinous!

Season 3 premiers January 2nd.

I love this silly show & am so glad it's back. Reminds me of early days VPR. 

Can't help but think that Joe & Maddi's relationship is a bit strategic.

Oh ,and happy that Oisin is gone. Liking Michels & bartender Molly. Jury's out on the mustache dude. 

Grace Lily's ayahuasca journey & chat with jesus is totally on brand. 

[JenE4]

I feel like Grace Lily pulled the Vanderpump Rules “too big of a star to be a server” card a little too soon. Most of the drama is still occurring in the club! Whereas they were mactors (model/actors), I guess the new thing is being a minfluencer (model/influencer).

There’s something suspect about how everyone is thrilled to listen to a 21-year-old, excuse me, newly 22-year-old, boss. There was so much conflict last year over who got the promotion and who told whom what to do, but suddenly they’re all thrilled to death with this baby who is too beautiful to be a barback telling them if you can lean, you can clean? I mean, sure, he seems nice and everyone seems to have a crush on him but surely someone is resentful? Speaking of crushes, it seems that the interest is mutual between Michols and TJ, but I don’t blame TJ for being hesitant about someone a decade younger. Somehow Michols doesn’t realize this is a sexual harassment suit waiting to happen if he’s TJ’s boss. But I guess this is Bravo, so dating castmates/coworkers is encouraged.

Speaking of which… I guess Joe Bradley finally wore Maddi down! The “this season on” makes it seem like they elope, but not sure whether it’s just for TV or legal. Either way, Emmy must have lost her ever-loving mind!! Poor girl still can’t go through a conversation without wiggling her ring finger at her boyfriend (I can’t recall his name), and badgering him about getting engaged. He did not look impressed with her new muscular body, and sounds like he’s been bad-mouthing her all over Republic. Well, I think every season has had a “he cheated” storyline that Emmy chooses to ignore and focus on “the ring” (not even the marriage), so I’m sure the hysterics through the plantation mansion house party or whatever will end up being more of the same unless/until he actually tells her he’s not going to ever marry her. Didn’t literally the exact same thing happen last season?? That may have been Maddi crying through a mansion house party and running through rooms locking Miss Trinidad and Tobago out. Man, what I wouldn’t give for the dramatics of a 35-room house to wrought and rend through with an audience of 100 people sipping on champs and martinis.

Miss Tirindad & Tobago is Mia. She's an OG. The chick Maddi chased around the house at Will's going away party last year was a non-castmate, Bradley's friend/client. who'd that allegedly made out with Trevor, Maddi's then boyfriend. 

From the previews, this season's finale party looks to be held at the same downtown Charleston mansion that was used in early seasons of Southern Charm for Patricia's events.
