I can’t even stand the way Ashley says, “Thank-you so much!” in that fakey voice - I’m keeping a barf bag handy for this one.

[biakbiak]

Just FYI some DVRs are listing this as the season 3 reunion so it might not be set to record.

You're right and it's the same with Part 2 on 7/26/18 as well.

[nexxie]

The video is kinda fun, about their reunion looks. (Ashley is not in the vid, thank goodness!)

Just saw a preview of the reunion. What the HELL was Kathryn thinking wearing that dress???!!!. For Heaven’s Sake, girl. Have some dignity about yourself. I looked at the other women who were dressed beautifully and appropriately although I didn’t wait to see Ashley. Dear God, will someone who cares about Kathryn please help her? This is no way to try to get custody of your tiny children!

I was thinking I read somewhere, that she was brought out near the end for a bit.  Not sure though.

[dosodog]

I'll be over here waiting for Craig and my outrage over the new man having the audacity to be on social media.  With Gizmo.

[biakbiak]

It was Naomi’s cat first so Craig can fuck off. Besides Gizmo deserves better than living in Craig’s crack house.

[dosodog]

It's actually Naomi's parents cat.

And the state of Craig's house or his lying or any multitude of reasons Craig is yucky?

Doesn't diminish the wheelbarrow moment between the Gizmo and Craig. 

Gizmo loves Craig in spite of all his faults.

That’s a theory myself and others have arrived at based on IG but it has never been confirmed.

[JenE4]

Wow, you guys really have me on an emotional roller coaster liking the Pro-Craig-and-Gizmo comments AND the Con-Craig-and-Gizmo comments. 

[dosodog]

I believe that biakbiak and I are definitely pro Gizmo.  I could be wrong, but I think we're both fans of him.

Really, I've become less fond of Craig, wonder if he needs help.

But I love the rapport he has with the cat.  They just click on screen together.

Truth be told, I don't think I like any of them anymore. Except for Cameron.

I don’t think Kathryn has had a good reunion look since season 2. During some episode this year, she said she was exploring her fashion sense and referred to her previous looks as trying to look like a sentor’s wife. I totally get her wanting to remove herself from that period of her life but I have to say that I much preferred that look! I’m a total prude dresser though lol.

 

poor Gizmo, abandoned then his home is broken.

 

i think Craig and Naomie’s problem (among others) was that they moved way too fast and were too young to be so serious together. (Not saying that no one can be young and move fast.) they moved in together after like six months and Naomie was only like 22 or 23. They probably would have broken way earlier if they weren’t living together and on the show.

I love Gizmo. He can come live with me, I have a cat tree, scratching posts, lots of good treats....

[Mountainair]

Speaking of Gizmo can I just say that 2018 and Southern Charm has not been kind to me this year. During one of the Hilton Head episodes I received the dreaded call that my Grandpa had passed away. In a few hours I am taking our beloved 15 year old Main Coon kitty to be put down. My 8 year old son has been practically inconsolable since we broke the news to him. Bad news hits my family on Southern Charm day. I hope the reunion brings it tonight because I'm a mess :(

I am so sorry!  Its hard losing family.  

Almost 2 weeks ago (tomorrow) I had to have my big boy Napolean put down.  Heartbreaking.  Giant furry head rubs to both of you.  Love on your kitty until its time and give your son a giant hug.

I’m so sorry for your losses! ? 

Yikes Kathryn looks like a thrive-divorced 40 year old divorcee with that hairdo and gown. BUT I will say I love that she’s gone back to the dark red haircolor. That two-toned look she was sporting most of the season was janky as hell. 

Really like Naomi’s dress from what I can see of it sitting down. 

Austen looks 15% less douche-y with the glasses.

I'm totally distracted by how ill fighting Katherine's dress is up front....

[Neurochick]

I've seen Kathryn look so much better.  Why does she look like a wannabe Bette Davis impersonator?

And what's that on the arms of the dress, it looks like she's holding a snake.

Kathryn’s dress looks good standing in the first instagram picture.  However, at the reunion, my eyes are just drawn to her   chest.  She is much prettier with the solid red hair.

Shep looks good.  Maybe lost a bit of weight.  He was getting a little broad in the beam.

While the surgeon did a good job on Naomi’s nose, I think she looked fine the way she was.

Okay, I’m done picking people apart, sorry.....

[Neurochick]

Is that Kathryn's behind or is that a pad?

Kathryn's a pretty woman but they keep making her look like a contestant on Ru Paul's Drag Race, and not a winning contestant (no offense to drag queens).  They keep putting the wrong color on her, she should wear dark greens and blues.  And she needs to lay off the spray tan, it makes her look a deep orange.  Craig needs to lay off the spray tan as well.

Does Shep think he looks distinguished with that facial hair?  He doesn't.

[dosodog]

I think they all look nice.   I just wish Kathryn's was a tad more covered.  She looks great, but it's just a little much.

Based on her looks compared to the other women I am pretty sure she is the one doing the styling. Naomi got her dress from her website and Cam and Chelsea were styled by Gwynn’s. 

[nexxie]

The cringing faces when Craig goes off crack me up.

[TexasGal]

Craig is so lame.  Zip it dude.

[Neurochick]

Goodness Craig, and Naomie or whatever her name is, got busted.  I believe she did say that to Kathryn.  I can't stand that Naomie or Naomi or is it Naomaie? 

Maybe Craig and Naomie belong together. 

Naomie's nose doesn't make her look any better, in fact I think she should sue the plastic surgeon that did that shit to her.

Craig is going to be a great attorney if he believes deadlines are arbitrary.  I wish I had known when I had jury duty that the date to report was just a suggestion.

[HunterHunted]

Craig had a massive serving of Haterade before the reunion.

That’s what I was thinking - tons of deadlines and details in that field.

Stick with sewing, Craig!

[Bronzedog]

Did Naomi imply that Craig didn’t file his taxes?  She said she’s still getting notices from the IRS for him.

that's what i took from her comment

[nexxie]

Two related things I noticed: 

When Andy asked Shep if he’d found love and Shep said no, Kathryn had a funny look on her face - and when Kathryn talked about how it’s been for her, Shep had a very caring look on his face.

Wonder if he’d be serious with her if she didn’t have that crazy past and he thought his family would accept her.

Probably not. He documents his entire life in IG and she is never around.

[Neurochick]

Kathryn will never stay sober if she keeps saying it was all Thomas' fault, that he did it all to her.  Kathryn has to accept her part in all this.  That's why Ashley is so bad, because she keeps pointing the finger at Kathryn without her seeing her part. 

Naomie is disgusting, if she thinks it's okay to call someone an escort, then fuck her and her ugly nose.

[Bronzedog]

Next week looks great!

Unless she is an escort. I’d probably call her a psychopath - looks like Kathryn does it right next week.

Duh, Andy, Cam had this turnaround because she’s now a mom, she said that right off the bat.

What’s Cheltsie’s problem with owning a sewing machine?

[escatefromny]

I’m sorry but any good will Kathryn earned with me disappeared after seeing those balloons she had bolted on.  Why on earth would she do that to herself?  I wonder how Gwynn’s felt about their “brand Ambassador”’s outfit?

[TeeMo]

Naomi is awful and I 100% believe that she told Kathryn she is worried she is losing that loving feeling with her new man but it was not nice of Kathryn to run off and tell Craig about it. Kathryn is definitely more together in this reunion than she has been in ages but I am still not buying everything she is selling. I think she still has a lot of shit stirring and manipulation going on under that veneer of reformed woman. 

[Drumpf1737]

Dammit, Cam, you made me weepy too.  

I think Naomie confided in Kathryn and because Kathryn and Craig have always been close, she told him as a means of encouragement. 

Shep looks kinda hot. *ducks and leaves the room*

It so good to see Kathryn confident. I suspect Cam thinks Thomas is a rapist. 

I can't quit Craig because he gave Kathryn his pillow pocket square.

Damn if Cam and Kathryn’s tears didn’t make me weepy too.

I thought she just was surprised he had one, which I get.  I would be pretty shocked to find out some bar hopping dude I was friends with had sewing machine in the middle of their living room.

I agree with this.  If she's only sober because of her kids, she won't stay sober for long, just saying.

[VedaPierce]

I never knew how beautiful pale pink is on a red head! I loved Katherine's look. It seemed elevated over the other women. I feel like I can buy whatever the rest of them had on at Ann Taylor. Katherine's looked couture. She would fit in on the Beverly Hills couch. She's obviously the star.

[RedDelicious]

Well Naomie definitely has a better sense of who she can trust and not trust!  I don't follow her on Instagram but I do look sometimes and her new guy seems 1000% more fun than Craig AND he's got regular employment.  Craig was a whiny bitch on the couch and behaved like a petulant child.  I think he's very jealous the new boyfriend is going on the fancy trips with Naomie and he's probably paying (instead of the other way around).  Naomie had some really bad moments this season, but I don't blame her for the nonsense she went through with Little Lord Conover.

[Sage47]

Cameran crying that much over Kathryn was sweet...but shocking too! I think Kathryn IS a victim but not fully. She was a quite “been-around-the-block” 21 year old, going after a rich 50 year old! And she first tried her luck with much-older Shep and Whitney. She was not an innocent flower in all of this. 

That said, Thomas did gaslight and isolate her. He caused much of her craziness/breakdown and is deserving of the hate. 

Craig is....mentally unfit. He doesn’t make a shred of sense and talks in circles. He has really deteriorated from Season One, quite sad to see really. He needs serious help. Andy looked appalled by him. 

Shep and Austen looked good. Kathryn, pretty, too much boob. Chelsea-bad hair.
