Babyfoot May 1, 2018 Share May 1, 2018 Did anyone see that Cooper, aka the poor man’s Truman Capote, is charging to join his Facebook page? Subscribers get access to his SC recaps. I used to like Cooper but find him to be flat out mean on social media so I’m not giving him any of my money. Also, two of my favorite writers, Brian Moylan at New York Magazine and Dustin Waters at Charleston City Paper, write hysterical, well-written recaps that you can access for free. In fact, there are at least a half dozen free recaps floating around. He’s not close enough to any cast member to have real insider information so I’m not sure how long or why he thinks he can sustain this venture. 4 Link to comment

Jextella May 6, 2018 Share May 6, 2018 I don't begrudge anyone for making money on social media or by another avenue the show provides (so long as it's legal and doesn't hurt anyone). This is a once-in-lifetime opportunity. If it were me, I'd capitalize on it in every way possible - but with strategy in mind. It's all about branding and image. The young people on Bravo shows are learning that lesson as they go. 8 Link to comment

I've seen you mention it before so I've been vaguely aware that Whitney was pitching some tone-deaf "who would ever want to air this, you dumbass mama's boy with no self-awareness" show that was then retooled into Southern Charm, never watched any of it myself, but I just found and watched what appears to be the sizzle reel on vimeo. I got until TRav started bragging about the Ravenal's plantation holdings and now I want to Kool Aid man myself through a wall in pure rage. Literally the only reason I ever check in on this show anymore is to talk about it with all of you lovelies, and because it is so oddly compelling, but I've come to a point in my life where this show feels actually unconscionable. I'll probably watch it tonight anyway. 6 Link to comment

If Thomas was a GOP officeholder of some kind, they'd just sweep it under the rug. But I don't see how Bravo could ignore it. As for the cast, I guess they just want to secure their place on the show. Bravo now needs to find another rich guy who has relationship problems maybe. Or maybe the show's time is over.

JenE4 May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 I don’t think that Ashley is a hooker as in look up “escort services” in the yellow pages and have her sent to your seedy motel room...based on old movies (shrug). We saw her nursing license registration, so I do think she really is a regular person he met in a bar. However, I do think it’s likely that T-Rav told her if she moved out to Charleston to date him, he’d get her set up in her own apartment and take care of her financially for a year—because that’s the exact scenario we’re seeing on TV. She apparently moved out immediately without really knowing him, she has her own place that he pays for, he pays for Gwynn’s shopping sprees, and she has no intention of getting her SC nursing license or any other type of a job. But although October is a year since filming, she moved out in June, right? So maybe he’s trying to get rid of her based on her actual year move in date and she’s pushing it to a year since filming. OR, the whole thing is made up and that’s why the dates don’t line up. 7 Link to comment
annewithaneee May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 Yeah I also don't buy that Ashley is in some weird long-term "girlfriend experience" situation. I do think, though, that her and Thomas's scenes have felt shockingly contrived from the jump, even by reality tv standards. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these two dummies put their heads together and plotted out their vision of this season together and had no idea how it would actually come across. I think it's way more likely that she's with him to be a kept woman and most importantly a reality tv character. I don't think it was damage control, really, because I don't think TRav had any idea or fear that his past assaults would come to light (because he is a dumb, drunken monster of a man)...I think he just wanted to "win" a season again, and bait Kathryn into looking like the crazy one yet again. The whole deal with Ashley is just an escalation of the shit he was pulling with Landon...but even dolphin-giggle McGee had a couple moments of clarity where she realized she was just a pawn in antagonizing the baby mama. 7 Link to comment

slowpoked May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 A good interview of Naomie. She did admit that she was unnecessarily mean to Craig this past season and she cringes at it, watching back. Also clears up that it's not Craig's sewing that drove her crazy but his procrastination: http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/southern-charms-naomie-olindo-wants-to-clear-some-things-up-about-her-breakup-with Quote But now as Naomie relives the months following her breakup with Craig as this season of Southern Charm airs, she recently told The Daily Dish that she now wishes she hadn't been "so mean to Craig." "Oh my gosh, I think that's probably my biggest regret. It's funny because now I'm in such a different headspace than I was eight or nine months ago, and so watching back how angry I was all the time, and I'm like, 'Why did you let this drag out so long? Why didn't you just get over it and act like a nice human being?'" Quote "The reason I had a problem with it was Craig is a procrastinator, and he was using sewing as a way to procrastinate doing things that he actually needed to do, you know, important things. ... Instead of doing something that he had a deadline on or whatever, he'd just sit and sew all night, not the actual fact that he sewed." 1 Link to comment

She could be working as a nurses aide, for instance. Hospice has positions which you can volunteer for that require no formal medical knowledge. A lot of those families need support. Someone to sit with their loved one while they go shopping, even taking the client to medical appointments or sometimes just to give a break to the family or primary caretaker. It’s a very rewarding thing to do but can be depressing and sadly you know that you are going to lose this person in your life as an end result. 4 Link to comment
