cooksdelight June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 The governor (who dismissed questions of the flag's removal during her campaign) and Lindsay Graham are now asking for it's removal. Thomas and his daddy will undoubtedly have to say something at some point in the near future. 1 Link to comment
zenme June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Despite Thomas' caddish behavior, despite knowing his father's ideas about Lincoln, etc., I gave Thomas the benefit of the doubt. I now think he only ran for office in order to feed his ginormous ego--not because he cared for the state of SC. I used to feel that Kathryn only had his child in order to cash in on his wealth and family name, and I had hoped Thomas would see through Kathryn's manipulations. I even hoped he'd find a beverage cart girl 2.0, but NOW, fuck Thomas! and I hope that he marries Kathryn, she takes him for every thin dime he has, and that she has multiple affairs with numerous sexy 20 year-olds. Asshole! 4 Link to comment
Oosala June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 (edited) Funny how I thought of this show when watching the news about the racist murders in Charleston. They showed a graphic of the church's location and it was on or near Calhoun Street. Isn't Kathryn a Calhoun? And then the march across the Ravenal bridge. Yes, it seems like fucking T-Rav only posts when he's drunk, his posts are inappropriate and embarrassing, and then he takes his posts down. I'm not on Facebook so I checked here to see what he was saying. I should have known he'd be a cowardly asshole and stay silent. *Senator* Ravenal indeed.

Lonesome Rhodes June 23, 2015 Share June 23, 2015 The Ravenel name has been peculiarly good to the fair denizens of the Palmetto state. He did get some major projects done reasonably well. Before everyone in the world, here included, starts going after named entities, may I suggest the first target be Robert C. Byrd, aka as a Kleagle in the KKK? That guy didn't just spew hate. He was a major, major force in the actual KKK for decades - when they really were a force. He has more named buildings than everyone in American history, save U.S. presidents. Please. Let's focus on stuff that can actually create real change. Examine the current problems and demand accountability from those who must be more charitable, and those who would receive said charity. Let's focus on voices for bonding and healing, like King's was. Let's cast out the politicians and baiters who only wish to foment hate and blame, regardless how much certain folks deserve such. If we never come together, we shall remain forever divided against ourselves. The real story out of Charleston is just this: The unity in love and forgiveness we all witnessed. 5 Link to comment
scrb June 23, 2015 Share June 23, 2015 Heard on a podcast about politics that the Confederate Flag didn't start flying over the South Carolina statehouse until 1960. So it was more done as a protest against Brown vs. the Board of Education decision and the push for ending discriminatory laws and practices in the South, not some attempt to express pride in "Southern heritage," whatever that may entail. A lot of state and national politicians were reluctant to call for an end to the Confederate Flag or even call it a racist crime but supposedly they're slowly coming around, with a bill to be introduced to remove the flag. Surprised the media doesn't try to go interview Thomas or for that matter, other members of the cast who are local celebrities of sorts. 3 Link to comment

lisalionheart June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 I am genuinely sad Thomas hasn't said anything yet. Listening to him make a fool out of himself would be a nanoparticle-thin silver lining. The Ravenel name has been peculiarly good to the fair denizens of the Palmetto state. He did get some major projects done reasonably well. Before everyone in the world, here included, starts going after named entities, may I suggest the first target be Robert C. Byrd, aka as a Kleagle in the KKK? That guy didn't just spew hate. He was a major, major force in the actual KKK for decades - when they really were a force. He has more named buildings than everyone in American history, save U.S. presidents. I am a Democrat who loathes Byrd. But he was not a "major, major force in the actual KKK for decades." If I recall correctly, he joined in 1941 or 1942, and he was involved until at least 1946. But he certainly wasn't a member when he ran for office in 1952. He was a disgusting racist after he left the KKK and filibustered the Civil Rights Act, it's embarrassing that he became a leader within the party, and I don't think he should be lionized. But I think facts matter. And at least he came to say that he regretted his actions. 2 Link to comment
Babyfoot June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Thomas, excuse me, Jo Jo, is going nut burgers on Twitter right now. Seriously, someone with tech skills screen grab it before he sobers up. Thomas tweeted that he heard that 4 were refusing to do season 3 and counting. 3 Link to comment
cooksdelight June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 But they've been filming it since May? Yes, someone get the screen shots, please. I hate to say this, but I actually love drunk Thomas. He's much more entertaining when he's loaded. 7 Link to comment
Babyfoot June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Cameran has said that they aren't filming but they seem to do a lot of stuff together: Cam, Cooper, and Landon at a spa; Cam, Cooper, and Pat at lunch; Jennifer (blergh) Snowden and Cam at lunch; Shepard and Craig in Atlantic City; Shepard and Landon in the Dominican Republic, etc., etc. I can't link to Thomas's meltdown on my iPad but he had several rambling tweets about being called gay or a girl and that being called a gay isn't an insult but being called a girl is, or something to that effect. Yes, Thomas's social media meltdowns are the best, especially since you know he's 99 sheets to the wind When he posts. 4 Link to comment

So far there are 4 and counting. I plan on doing another Season of Southern Charm-- just as soon as a donkey wins the Kentucky Derby! Stay tuned. It will all come out. He also retweeted: "Editing was focused on embarrassing some while carefully protecting others .... something smells fishy .... " Edited June 27, 2015 by link417 1 Link to comment

Sun-Bun June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 Oh man, T-Rav's drunken online rants give me such a case of the sad's...wonder exactly who he means when he says "4 and counting" potentially refusing to be on the third season?? I know he probably is referring to Cameron as one of those being "carefully protected" and possibly Shep too...I can't imagine Whitney or his mom or her walker Cooper not wanting to continue this wild ride since Whit's the evil mastermind behind this entire series. And Craig/Landon mentioned on the reunion that they were planning on being roomies renting a place downtown, so surely that's for filming purposes. I know JD is loyal to Thomas, but I can't see him turning his back on all the free advertising his restaurant is getting from this show. Ditto Shep with his divebar and Cameron with her budding career as a realtor. That just leaves Katherine, but I can't imagine her thirsty famewhoring ass ever turning her back on the show that brought her into this social circle((especially since Whitney still seems to believe "she had a baby to secure a spot on a reality tv show!")). Who knows, eh? I just hope this isn't the last we see of T-Rav though...he really is like the soul of this show... 1 Link to comment

I just mean that all the main action of this show thus far has pretty much centered around him and his various antics...perhaps I should clarify that maybe he's like the heart of this show, not the soul?

RedHawk July 4, 2015 Share July 4, 2015 I think Whitney was stunned by how hard and fast Kathryn made her grab for reality TV fame, and that's the prime reason he shows such hatred toward her now.

And Thomas--along with Jennifer and Danni--is among the sponsors covering the full cost of the event so ALL ticket proceeds will go to the AME fund. The staff of Sermet's is also among the sponsors which is incredibly nice considering they're F&B employees and don't exactly have the deep pockets that some of the other sponsors do. Kudos to them. Several of the cast members were also on "Lowcountry Live", a local news/public interest program on the Charleston ABC affiliate, this morning.
