PrincessPurrsALot May 27, 2018 Share May 27, 2018 "Gian moves on from mentoring Barry and teams up with Jon for his Jazzfest party; Reagan and Jeff finally reconnect, throwing an Easter bash that's focused more on blow-ups than bunnies; and Tamica stands up for Barry against Gian, adding tension to their situation. 1 Link to comment

dosodog May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 I think I like all the men on this show. I really like Jeff though. He's got a love for dogs, openly admits to a ticking baby clock and is completely open and positive about therapy. He's endearing and I want good things for him and no football brain damage. Was it my tv screen? Because on my TV I thought the color was representative on the drawing. Susan has the right idea. Comfortable clothes and pulling the heads off of shrimp (no crawdads in the Pacific Northwest!). But she should understand. Casual and comfortable knows no color. And quite frankly. Neither do fancy dress up parties. 15 minutes ago, Mindthinkr said: Jeff is such a good househusband. Floors in his Gucci’s! Forgot about the mopping! Fans self! 12 Link to comment
Mindthinkr May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 I love this adult type of Easter Egg Hunt. Hmmm...I envision stealing this idea and using airplane sized bottles tho I have to admit the pregnancy test was funny (but it would have been funnier if Kelsey got it). 6 Link to comment

It's light years different than Southern Charm Charleston, that Beach House show, and the 2 Ski Lodge series. I don't see the problem with what Gian did. She has a right to who she chooses to do business or be chummy with. Perhaps he felt used but I don't think it was intentional. The guys on this Southern Charm are much more attractive than OG SC lol. 7 Link to comment

Tamica annoys me and the others do have their faults, but I do not hate any of them. There are moments where I like them and moments where I do not. It varies from episode or even scenes. It is probably the reason why I enjoy this version so much. This cast seems to genuinely have fun together and not everything is drunken shenanigans. Also, I may like it more because the drama seems fairly light. This group seems more adult than the SC cast, if that makes any sense. I may have had too much wine. I did love the adult Easter egg hunt and the croquet game complete with more laughing at Jon not being good at it, like golf. I liked Jeff's TH with bear Justin. Oh and the editors version of horror movie clips when Justin was talking about seeing wedding stuff everywhere made me laugh. Edited May 28, 2018 by Misslindsey 9 Link to comment

nb360 May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 I really can't with Tamica. I can't. Jeff gave this great toast about friends and family, and Tamica takes that moment to make it about her. She also seems to project a lot. She said Gian leaves when she doesn't get her way -- I seem to remember Tamica jumping from a table when her friends confronted her on her "truth-telling." So Gian obviously cancelled her credit card with Barry's gym. Well, guess what? Both husband and wife got in Gian's face in one night. Yeah, I'd probably cancel my membership, too. 9 Link to comment
Lizzing May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 I'm kinda bummed that next week is the finale. I certainly like this cast far more than Charleston or Savannah. On paper, Ashley's and Kelsey's stories are similar: both work in health care, both want an engagement ring, both inexplicably sit on vanities to do their makeup. But Kelsey, even from the little we've seen, is SO much more likable and is completely hydrated. She didn't move across country to be on a reality show and Justin (son of a long time elected official and socialite-ish mother, where the similarities with TRav begin and end) is beyond a million times better than TRav, even absent TRav's drug conviction and sexual assault allegations (and that's a whole lot of discounting). Gian is still a weird character, in that she's the "enemy" of now 2 central cast memebers, yet we really don't know a whole hell of a lot about her. I hope if there's a second season and she's still a thorn in Tamica's and Barry's sides, she gets filled out a bit more. And, of course, do something with that hair line or donate some of her forehead to Theresa Gudice. The Easter party was nice and it was good to see someone "make it nice" without getting shitfaced at her own party. But there's no way Reagan just finished up her exams by Easter. Loyola doesn't have exams until May. There was no real reason for that bit of fiction; the mere fact that she had a long weekend off school for the holiday would have sufficed as a reason to hold the party up on the Northshore. 9 Link to comment

I’m glad the editors chose to add a bit of humor (as well as the nod to horror shows) and it shows so much more creativity than just editing to focus on tongues wagging and spewing insults. I agree with the other posters that this show seems to be a step up from the original Southern Charm. I hope that this franchise gets renewed. 6 Link to comment

For Cereals May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 I am enjoying this cast a lot more than the other Southern Charms. I like that it’s not a single ethnicity franchise. I watch the others but Charleston always makes me feel a little dirty like there’s something hanging in the background when they talk about their established families and Gentry and such because I can’t help but think about the history. I’m glad Jon wore a shirt and pants that weren’t too tight to the party. I hated the ripped up leggings the other woman was wearing when they were looking at the venue. I’ll be so happy when we can get back to non-skinny cut and natural fibers. I think Gian just has a lot of face and weave or not, she would still have a lot of face. That said, she has every right to pull out of dealings with Barry if she thinks Tamica is a loose cannon (which she is...you can’t just say whatever you want to people whenever you want). Can’t wait to see Kelsey speak up next week. I hope she and Justin work out. 3 Link to comment

I think she's only in love with Jeff during his football years. He's saying he misses and loves her. She's like, "I missed the pets...I missed you...I missed the house...oh yeah, I love you too."

RHJunkie May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 (edited) Jeff seems like such a sweet guy who really seems committed to developing substance in his marriage. He wants a true partnership and I wonder if the fractures in their marriage began rearing its head after he retired and they were spending more time with one another. I felt really bad for him when he confessed his realization that he's barely seen his wife and when he finally sees her, it's because she's come back to throw a big party for their family and friends, not to actually spend time with him....he absolutely has every right to feel slighted by that. I have to say of this cast, the main female cast are hard to get behind but the men on this show are quite likeable to me. Jon is probably my least favourite in terms of personality but that's because he's got the 'I'm a sexy artistic genius' thing going on which is a bit too much pride but he's also young so I'm not annoyed by it the way I would be if he was trying to pull that off as a guy whose 30+ and suffering from Peter Pan syndrome. Love Tamica's friend. She's not afraid to spit truths out, including her idea of a comfortable BBQ. When I host, my theme is really for the sake of decor and figuring out the menu. You can come as dressed up or dressed down as you like. I do think it's great that Reagan cooked herself! Feel really bad for Tamica's daughter. She's such a beautiful little girl and it's such a shame that she has to deal with people who would tell her otherwise because of their own insecurities and prejudices that they've learned elsewhere. It makes me so sad that any child should ever be made to feel less than because of the colour of their skin, or having a learning disability or looking different from others. People need to do better with their parenting. Kids making a mess, being loud and breaking things because they're too curious for their own good - that's kids being kids. Kids that say discriminating and racist things isn't a kid thing, it's an asshole thing and people in their lives are failing them if these kids think it's every okay to be that kind of person. Gian's hair was bugging me. Tamica really comes across as a horrible person to deal with. Gian's parting words with her seemed fitting. To tear a woman down because her marriage didn't work out while it's no secret that your marriage isn't perfect is beyond cruel and nasty. Tamica's brother seems like such a level headed person. As does her cousin. As does her friend. How is she surrounded by that many seemingly good people who fairly call her out on her shit and yet she still hasn't learned how to be nicer and more considerate?

I think Gian was breaking the fourth wall, and the unwritten rule in reality TV that everybody's supposed to pretend that they're not on a TV show. Tamica and Barry also have to realize that Gian was never Barry's friend. She was just his business partner. I mean Gian didn't make all the money she's made by being nice.

If I had a friend making derogatory, offensive comments, including the "f" word or the "N" word I wouldn't be friends with them again. If that word can roll out of his mouth so easily WHILE HE'S BEING FILMED FOR A TV SHOW, that says a lot about the character of the person. You can apologize all you want, but a word that rolls off the tongue that easily from a friend speaks of that person's true homophobic feelings. There are just some things that may be non-negotiable to a person. You could be a close friend and decide this person isn't the person you thought they were and end the friendship. I personally don't think that Barry really understands how offensive that word is. He feels victimized that although he apologized, he has to face consequences -- and that involves his friend and potential business partner pulling out. I respect the hell out of Gian for doing that.

I rewound this a couple times because it seemed so out of left field. I think it was the other way around. Tamica slick-mouthed Gian by saying last time I checked, I'm married, you're not. Which, um, ok? then Gian said at least I know/knew when my marriage was over. I was like, what? It sounded like Gian was trying to come back at Tamica with the implication that, because she'd sort of been Barry's confidante, that she knew something about the state of their marriage that Tamica didn't. I was so confused there. If ^ is even slightly true, I totally get why Barry thought they were friends. Gian has been operating on the periphery of their circle since high school right? they know a whole heap of the same people, she and Tamica sit on a few of the same boards. Barry was her trainer, sure, but they had a relationship that was beyond transactional. Social, if not personal. Now they know how business works so I'm shocked that they're shocked. Barry looks at Tamica stepping to Gian as being protective of the people she loves. Nah boo, your wife don't have any boundaries. That was awkward af. It took me a minute to figure out that Rachel was the same lady at the lady chablis benny poppins lunch and then again on the African Queen river lollygag. The one who's husband is showing signs of neurological deterioration, that's her right? Ya'll that dress? who shows up to garden party bbq in a body con titties out oscar gown? That was worse than one of Jon's dates. Rainy is beautiful. She's finna get teased by everybody, including other black girls. What I don't understand is that given both sides of their entire family and all their friends, there's no opportunity to expose her to diversity or kids that look like her, ever.....in New damn Orleans?? Dance class, local girl scouts, nothing? By the way, judging by pictures, Tamica had a gang of Oprah hair by the time she was 12, I don't think her hair is weave. In any event, she needn't style it any differently to be an example. We ain't never ever seen Beyonce's natural hair and Blue Ivy is the boss of the whole world lol. I really like Jeff. I just can't help feeling like when he was playing, he was all about his career and he's clingy now that he's in that big ole house all day by himself with nothing to do but mop floors in his guccis lol. Really, he couldn't be a more likeable guy and I'm sure she's not doing it out of some sense of turnabout, but it doesn't feel fair pointing at Reagan for doing exactly what he did. All she did was wait her turn. 5 Link to comment

Also, and this, of course, is not verified and is only hearsay (fortunately, I make no claims to being a journalist): Their house in Old Metarie is rented, according to this comment on this website. Scroll all the way down: http://uptownmessenger.com/2018/05/kristine-froeba-on-bravos-southern-charm-new-orleans-authentic-as-canned-gumbo-from-texas/. There's nothing wrong with a rented house and I'm sure other reality TV people do this as well. But I'm sure we'l never hear Tamica stating this. Also, Barry apparently is not the "owner" of Fuel but the manager. Again, nothing wrong with this -- but somehow, someone gave viewers the impression that he owned the gym.

JenE4 June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 I’m sad that next week is the last episode already. Aside from Tamica, this is the only reality show that i’d actually want to be friends with these people—even Reagan has grown on me. Loved in particular the scenes with Jeff acting out the bear from Justin as Justin, interspersed with whatever that was Justin always says; the horror music as Justin looked at the wedding flowers; Barry saying “I pick the blue, so i’ll See you in the yellow” and then Tamica comes down in the yellow; John Moody talking about painting on the roof for full affectation. So many little moments like that made me genuinely chuckle. It’s a nice change of pace from these Bravo shows that are about forced friendships between people who can’t stand to be around each other and just cut each other down for 2/3 of the episode. 9 Link to comment

I just can't help feeling like when he was playing, he was all about his career and he's clingy now that he's in that big ole house all day by himself with nothing to do but mop floors in his guccis lol. Really, he couldn't be a more likeable guy and I'm sure she's not doing it out of some sense of turnabout, but it doesn't feel fair pointing at Reagan for doing exactly what he did. All she did was wait her turn. Awww...damn you @ZaldamoWilder! I have been happily hating on Reagan and pitying Jeff and you gotta go make me think about balance and compromise and mature marriage stuff. Between you and the fact that Reagan is cum laude (summa? magna?) and law review and that she threw that fab grown folks Easter party that she cooked for herself AND that she is always straight with her crazy ass friend Tamica...sigh I kinda like Reagan???

But everybody has a breaking point and maybe Barry's comment was Gian's. Bump Barry and his self-pity party. Despite Jared's tearful story of struggle, this mf Barry is still making his disgusting, hateful outburst and his half-ass apology all about him. What 40 yo man doesn't know how offensive that word is? Gian's supposed to just be like "Oh ok. Since you didn't know." Y'all know good and damn well if Reagan or Jeff called somebody a ninja in a fit of rage, all "friendships" would be over. 8 Link to comment

You know damn well it was .... she’s a self centered spoiled child.... she needs to be the center of attention.... Jeff is better off without that annoying New Orleans Fran dresher version ... that fucking condensation voice 3 Link to comment
