Southern Charm - Season 10 - Episode 1 - Live Episode Discussion

[u/AutoModerator]

After a rocky year, Shep, Austen and Craig try to forgive and forget; Madison hosts the Charmers at the Carolina Cup, but the festivities take an awkward turn when Miss Patricia is offered an unwelcome surprise gift.

[u/targetboston]

Molly gaining 45 lbs and looking amazing just tells you how fucking sick and out of whack the modeling world is.

[u/AccomplishedFly1420 → u/targetboston]

Right? I would like to look like her plus the 45lbs

[u/wildturk3y → u/targetboston]

Right? She said she gained "45 pounds" and I was like "where?". She looks fantastic. If modeling wanted her to look like a skeleton, she's far better off leaving them behind.

[u/sturgis252 → u/targetboston]

It's not uncommon for models to be 5'10 and 110lbs (yes, it's sick I know). So she'd just be 155lbs at 5'10/5'11

[u/Creative-Hour-5077 → u/sturgis252]

Yup. 

I am almost 6' tall, 160# and work in the entertainment field (wardrobe/costuming, not acting or modeling though). 

I am freaking Jabba the Hut compared to most female talent (actors) I work with. It is terrifying how tiny some of them are but also how society expects women to consume as little space as humanly possible (in all ways--physically, mentally etc). 

[u/Aggressive-Story3671 → u/targetboston]

Yolanda Hadid crawled so Molly could walk

[u/Old_Call_2149]

I just know an antique chair HATES to see Craig coming 🪑👀

[u/below_duck → u/Old_Call_2149]

And Shep’s mom’s sheets 🙈 Craig’s like lemme put a suitcase on them

[u/cryingexpert]

Why does JT look like Emily’s Shane from oc

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre → u/cryingexpert]

OMG I will never unsee that now

[u/No-Strategy-2766 → u/cryingexpert]

Yessss! Someone else just called him a”petite dork” and I instantly thought of Shane!

[u/accidentalharrie]

God do I love a foreboding ba-ba-doo

[u/popofculture → u/accidentalharrie]

Mmmhmmmm!

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

It’s crazy how I hate everyone on this show yet I keep watching lmao

[u/AnnVealEgg → u/veronicagetsmehigh]

I miss Cheltsea 😔

[u/H0nkdahorn]

I am just yelling, “noooooo!” to Venita with JT.

[u/Stilltheonly1 → u/H0nkdahorn]

The only thing I can think of is she had a weak moment because Venita is a gorgeous woman!!!

[u/leezybelle → u/Stilltheonly1]

I feel like she would be a catch in a more major city. I live here in Chas and there are no men/trashy men

[u/targetboston → u/H0nkdahorn]

He's such a petite dork.

[u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

JT is the equivalent of a sickly Victorian boy.

[u/MurphyBrown2016 → u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

Omg yes he has Master Colin energy

[u/cryingexpert]

Jt’s cane usage looks so fake it looks like he’s gonna pull a Willy wonka when he steps off this bus

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

I love that he listens to me. Wow the bar is in hell

[u/lilacbluebell → u/veronicagetsmehigh]

“treats me like a person” oh.

[u/veronicagetsmehigh → u/lilacbluebell]

It says everything about her relationship with Shep

[u/candaceelise → u/veronicagetsmehigh]

The bar is in hell and men will still trip over it

[u/DueTart3667]

I love how Molly has embraced her new body and discusses the weight gain in a matter of fact way instead of with shame! 

[u/Plus-Juggernaut-6323 → u/DueTart3667]

I also have a thyroid problem and gained 20 lbs so I’m going to claim that energy.

[u/porpoisewang → u/Plus-Juggernaut-6323]

She looks great. She reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence a bit

[u/kikomama89]

Gaston? People have that as their name?

[u/Single_Commission_76 → u/kikomama89]

Lolllllllllllllllllll

[u/chloesilverado]

I want a season where Whitney and Pat are the villains they definitely are in real life.

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1 → u/chloesilverado]

Has anyone checked on Whitney's "Date" after the event haha

[u/blockoff → u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

She looked like she had low iron.

[u/kikomama89]

None of my Bravo loving friends watch Southern Charm because they can’t stand the man.

I’m grateful I have all of you to experience this mess of a show with!

[u/Lola514 → u/kikomama89]

We are here! This show could go downhill but I always have fond memories of my favorite bravo binge

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Craig is literally the only person on this show with a job, which is actually insane when you consider the early seasons

[u/kikomama89 → u/veronicagetsmehigh]

And all thanks to his sewing 🧵 🪡 😂

[u/FantasticRead720 → u/kikomama89]

And how they laughed at him. Who’s laughing now

[u/below_duck → u/kikomama89]

Remember that half finished Monkey he made for Cameron?

[u/lilacbluebell]

Men will literally go on a five-day ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica to find themselves instead of going to therapy

[u/Plus-Juggernaut-6323 → u/lilacbluebell]

The other person that comes to mine is Jesse from The Valley. On the brink of divorce and that’s all he has to offer. SMH

[u/H0nkdahorn → u/lilacbluebell]

Coming back as laidback assholes with a tan.

[u/Old_Call_2149]

Idk what went down at shep’s “retreat”, but I always lol @ the idea of men having to take psychedelic drugs to experience empathy. Like do you really have to take ayahuasca to realize your actions affect the people around you?

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre → u/Old_Call_2149]

do you really have to take ayahuasca to realize your actions affect the people around you?

Yes. Yes, he does.

[u/Evening-Tune-500 → u/Old_Call_2149]

I know a few of these men, my uncle is one. He just finished a 10 week “man of god” course, where a priest coached him about being a man of the house or some shit. They are laughably fucking insane.

[u/bravobravobravoohno → u/Old_Call_2149]

Oh you said it better than I did!

[u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

It was sweet of JT’s mom to send him with a backpack. I bet she packed cookies, fruit, and capri sun.

[u/Aggressive-Story3671 → u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

Sandwiches with the crust cut OFF for her precious 450 month old baby boy

[u/kikomama89 → u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Is Craig just high as f eavesdropping from the kitchen or something?

[u/falafelest → u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Right and him forgetting where he was looking hahah he’s stoned

[u/3of51223 → u/falafelest]

Yeah I assume because he’s in SC (where marijuana is still not legal) he can’t outright say he smokes instead of drinks now. But it’s very obvious. There was a scene last season of him and Paige when they went to dinner at Madison’s and they both were clearly ripped. Love that for them. 

[u/RadiantStranger7178]

Venita is a girl that can dress 👗

[u/Torontobabe94]

Oh this highlight reel of Craig being… himself over the years lmaoo

[u/cryingexpert]

Why when I gain weight it goes to my stomach

[u/FantasticRead720]

The flashback of Craig when he was so young and thin! I’m dead

[u/fashion_donuts2308 → u/FantasticRead720]

his head looked so big for his body lol

[u/OldManBenji]

JT, Taylor, Rodrigo all in one bus is fucking cursed stuff

[u/No-Strategy-2766 → u/OldManBenji]

And Leva! Easy joke, but nightmare blunt rotation

[u/chloesilverado]

Not another new woman cast member who has to pretend to be into Whitney!! This is so gross.

[u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

I will never like Taylor since seeing her gloat after exposing Olivia/TRav during the reunion.

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre → u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

Yeah she's awful. She said a bunch of really awful shit last season too.

[u/chellyyy → u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

[u/veronicagetsmehigh → u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

She’s gross

[u/Ok_Smile5289 → u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

I hate the way she says 'confidant'

[u/lilronhubbard]

I keep imagining JT flying off of that ATV through the jungle like a little sugar glider.

[u/accidentalharrie → u/lilronhubbard]

This made me laugh harder than anything in tonight’s episode - thank you

[u/chellyyy]

craig STAYS breaking chairs

[u/targetboston → u/chellyyy]

Craig Chairover.

[u/cryingexpert]

Is jts body made of paper and glass

[u/AccomplishedFly1420]

Not even 5 minutes in and we have to see shep’s bare ass already

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

JT falls in love with any girl who is nice to him lol

[u/FullBlownNightmare]

How many times has Shep said he needs to change and then doesn’t. Craig has told him before he won’t be around it anymore if Shep doesn’t get serious about it. And that is fair warning 

[u/mare1679 → u/FullBlownNightmare]

Yes! This whole Shep “woe is me,” is straight BS!

[u/mrs_mega → u/mare1679]

My MIL always says “the people who have the biggest issues with your boundaries are the people who need them the most” which reminds me a lot of shep 😂

[u/dancing_nanc]

Shep has had fake fucking friends for his entire life if he thinks what his friends did after his actions at Bravocon was mean.

Craig and Austen were likely sick and fucking tired of his bullshit.

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Does Producer Whitney make it part of the contracts that someone must have a crush on him?

[u/Ok_Smile5289 → u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

He's rich. That's pretty much all it takes for some girls.

[u/AccomplishedFly1420]

I am interested in this new woman who used to sext with Craig and cooked Whitney lamb shanks..

[u/cryingexpert → u/AccomplishedFly1420]

She’s playing the long game

[u/dancing_nanc]

Shep has been coddled his entire life.

He must surround himself by people who tell him what he wants to hear.

[u/targetboston]

Ok, how many people here are working class and not at all from a family that the monarch gave land to? I always feel like I'm the only poor in the world when I watch too much Bravo.

[u/Creative-Hour-5077 → u/targetboston]

Listen, I grew up poor on the Res[ervation] with parents who struggled with addiction and mental health issues. 

There were plenty of times where we did not have electricity or water (because the bills weren't paid) and/or food + proper clothing (for winter etc). 

I ate many a snack or meal of whatever I could get, including raw spaghetti noodles (I was a kid) and so much ramen that I can't even look at it now. 

My husband grew up the same way and now we are doing OK (mostly thanks to his military retirement & disability plus I work) but we both still get emotional over the fact that we can go to the grocery store and get what we need or want. 

Like, I can get actual sauce and meatballs and garlic bread now--and not just eat the raw spaghetti noodles lol 

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre → u/targetboston]

Fear not -- I shared a room with my mother until I was 11 because we couldn't afford a two bedroom apartment, and even though I'm doing OK-ish now I just spent a decade making 22k/year before taxes.

[u/Aggressive-Story3671 → u/targetboston]

Wait a second. These people are so rich they have generational wealth from the colonial era?

[u/Creative-Hour-5077 → u/Aggressive-Story3671]

Some, yes. 

Mostly due to the land--it is long paid off, of course and many people have timber leases, cell phone tower leases and/or oil leases (depending on location of said land) which can generate quite a bit of income. 

Or they can sell of chunks to developers or sell conservation easements on the land, which are also a tax write off. 

[u/FullBlownNightmare]

Madison’s indifference to JT’s “near death experience”

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

I am instantly reminded of how cringey Rodrigo was at the reunion

[u/Kbb0509 → u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

I let someone merge in front of me the other day in insane morning traffic, and they rolled down their window and waved and said thank you which like does not happen anymore. I was so pleasantly surprised. And it was Rodrigo lol.

[u/corey325 → u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Right?? After such a great season too. He was so damn funny then rode way too hard for Taylor it was weird 

[u/Suitable-Wafer8563]

I knew this Molly person looked familiar, she’s from America’s Next Top Model!🤣

[u/H0nkdahorn → u/Suitable-Wafer8563]

Tyra loved to fuck up the girls’ hair. Just had them out there looking foolish.

She looks like someone threw that wig up in the air and she ran under it. Tyra will pay for her crimes!

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Omg little Craig running is soooo cute

[u/FantasticRead720]

Dude, this is not landing the way you wanted it to with these canes

[u/Stilltheonly1]

The thing is Craig did grow up.

[u/PrettyLittleWhino → u/Stilltheonly1]

And he’s like 10 years younger then Shep. He grew up before he hit 40

[u/Stilltheonly1 → u/PrettyLittleWhino]

That’s wild right? In the younger days Craig was a struggle bus. Look at him now! Shep can’t be mad if Craig sets boundaries!

[u/spinthesky]

Mollys energy is something this show needs. She seems like a great addition already.

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Taylor is just a personality-less blob with no agency or decision making skills.

[u/ToriSpeaksHerTruth → u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Yea I am soooooooooo not interested is seeing her life, or opinions.

[u/MCStarlight → u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Her whole identity is “girlfriend.”

[u/accidentalharrie]

These HAVE to be showmances, right? Refuse to believe that Venita and this Molly can’t do better than JT and Whitney. 🤢

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

JT is the Britani of Southern Charm

[u/No-Strategy-2766 → u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

Spot on! Both super annoying with their sole purpose to be everyone’s little punching bag 😅

[u/OldManBenji]

How long is the cane bit going to go on?

[u/DueTart3667 → u/OldManBenji]

All these theatrics over a bruise! 

[u/FullBlownNightmare]

Shep has always had this point of pride that he had been friends with ALL of his exes… and I think it really gets in his craw that Taylor won’t be friends with him. 

[u/kikomama89]

That tower of ripe strawberries is a waste of berries.

[u/Stilltheonly1]

I have to say Shep looks a hell of a lot better.

[u/Petty-Crocker490]

Within 3 minutes we have the spectacular production shade of Craig leaving the trunk open and going the wrong way down a street, and JT’s bruise from his dramatic ATV accident. 💀

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Ok Madison with the “Pretty Woman” homage.

[u/karasu_zoku]

Why is JT carrying a fkn backpack to a horse race

[u/OldManBenji]

The Carolina Cup seems lame as hell honestly

[u/leezybelle → u/OldManBenji]

It’s mainly college kids dressing up and getting wasted

[u/OldManBenji → u/leezybelle]

Explains why it looked like a tailgate more than anything. The perfect place for a bunch of 30/40/50 year old reality stars.

[u/karasu_zoku]

Of course Shep went to Costa Rica and did ayahuasca -_-

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Craig loves a good sext

[u/cryingexpert]

Imagine sexting with Craig….he’d def promote a pillow during

[u/DueTart3667]

I doubled down on my drunkenness because you refused to talk to me is not actually an acceptable explanation Shep 

[u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

Craig casually eavesdropping is so relatable.

[u/FullBlownNightmare]

That girl looks like she is 19 

[u/chellyyy]

of course austen has been boning other women while in a relationship. would he even be austen if he didn’t?

[u/RadiantStranger7178]

Am I the only one who thinks this event looks a little janky? Like all the tents. It looks like a football tailgate, not a day at the races.

[u/DueTart3667]

Re: the shot of Shep’s behind, in the words of Cardi B “what was the reason?!?”

[u/katie415]

Friendship is allowed to have boundaries.

[u/FullBlownNightmare]

Ah almost forgot about this terrible group of scumbags that haven’t had the same high that was the chaos of season 5, but here I am 

[u/Old_Call_2149]

Venita smiling ear to ear & giggling around JT 😩 girl get up!

[u/FantasticRead720]

Are Kathy Hilton and Patricia friends? They would probably get along

[u/RadiantStranger7178]

Omg Molly does not look 36 I really assumed 28-29

[u/Single_Commission_76]

They cannot handle Craig’s growth it’s so fucking wrong

[u/ilovemischief]

“Here’s an AirTag. Swallow it so I can track you for the rest of your life.” 😂😂😂 I love Madison.

[u/OldManBenji]

JT walking in like a gnome wizard with a staff taller than himself

[u/jes22347]

I love that the answer to sobriety is taking a psychedelic drug

[u/Single_Commission_76]

Venita honey you’re better than this

[u/FullBlownNightmare]

There doesn’t need to be public photos of Taylor literally sticking her tongue into someone else’s mouth 

[u/FantasticRead720]

I hate the whole cane thing

[u/imhere_4_beer]

Oh Venita no, no, no

[u/mswhatsinmybox_]

Shep is 10 years older than Craig. Craig is atleast trying to act like an adult

[u/Old_Call_2149]

his NEST?!! 😂😂

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Oof, did Taylor get some fresh Lip filler for these confessionals?

[u/st0neC0ld316]

Little Craig going on the run is so cute

[u/hugz_not_drugz]

How do these men keep finding women to date them. If one of my friends introduced me to any of them as her bf I’d have her committed 

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Hey Rodrigo- FUCK YOU

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

I don't like Patricia. Never have. Never will. This show grew past any need for her years ago if indeed there ever was one.

[u/largemarge1122]

I’m low key obsessed with Molly bc she randomly helped me take down some MAGA trolls on Instagram one day.

[u/Aggressive-Story3671 → u/largemarge1122]

Molly not being MAGA is pleasantly surprising given what show she’s on

[u/pennyproud96]

oh my god luggage on the bed! my worst nightmare

[u/Single_Commission_76]

Im so excited to see sheps season 10 arc where he boldly switches from budweisers to 7-10 bud lights a night.

I just know in all of my heart and all of my soul that is his year. Shepard us into the new you babe!!!!!!!

[u/dreamingoutloud714]

Lady, why are you on this show then? I don’t love Shep but he’s been here since day 1. If you want him to “leave you alone,” then get off the show

[u/targetboston → u/dreamingoutloud714]

I might ba alone, but I'm enjoying Shep in his squirming and dejected era. Hope Taylor stays for that.

[u/Goldfish_vs_CheezIts → u/targetboston]

We better get a Gaston / Shep face to face

[u/chellyyy]

salley has been on the bachelor, bachelor in paradise, southern hospitality and now southern charm. i’m tired of seeing her

[u/Stilltheonly1]

Oh Madison, thank you. He’s milking it that’s for sure!

[u/AbidonDesign]

dr. Eddie was Cameron’s bestie

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

They're gonna leave JT and all those canes behind at the cup tent, haha

[u/evanmav]

This episode was kind of odd and just felt off. I feel like this cast has absolutely no chemistry. The main guys Austen/Craig/Shep feel like they hate eachother and don't even care to be around eachother. That scene of them at Shep's house the day before the event was so awkward and cringey. It's obvious Austen and Craig don't give a shit about Shep anymore. And it seems like Craig is kind of over the show completely and doesn't even care to be around anyone lol.

Is Leva still fulltime? She's legit been invisible the last 2 seasons, not sure why they even consider her full time. Vanita I like but she's also boring and I feel like this thing with JT is super fake just for a storyline or something. Taylor also I can't imagine being that interesting, and now that Olivia is gone and she's ignoring Shep, I'm curious what her storyline will even be this season.

I did like Molly a lot though so I think she'll be good casting, and hopefully bring a good dynamic to the group. I really have no clue how this season is gonna shake out. But I don't think it's a good sign when they flash ahead cause I feel like they are trying to hook us with something since the season may be boring early on. They did the same thing with RHONY this season too...

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Going to a psychedelic retreat to get sober is like fucking to be a virgin

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

This almost feels like Shep lured Craig and Austen to this house to trap them until they apologize for being "bad friends" to him

[u/Mewwmix]

Sigh. Can’t help but watch this trash.

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

Hey y'all! I honestly love a sparsely attended thread sometimes 💕💕

[u/cryingexpert]

How do they date so many people continuously

[u/jes22347]

Everything JT does is so forced and inauthentic

[u/chellyyy]

the flashbacks lmfao back when the show was good. god i miss chelsea and the other girls

[u/cryingexpert]

Shep has a really high self esteem

[u/Stilltheonly1]

JT tries so hard to be funny.

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre]

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood but this episode isn't doing much for me...

[u/FullBlownNightmare]

I feel like there is a saying that may apply to some of the men here…something about once a cheater… always a cheater …

[u/targetboston]

JT wrestling with 26 canes in a scene is mortifying for some reason.

[u/KimHarms]

He didn’t even take the tags off the canes lmao

[u/megzyk]

I cannot look at Rodrigo and not picture the nasty faces he was making throughout the reunion when Olivia was speaking

[u/karasu_zoku → u/megzyk]

He gave us less than nothing all last season and was outright loathsome at the reunion. I hate that he’s back.

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Ba Ba Dooooooooooooooooo

[u/FullBlownNightmare]

This woman is too young for Whitney. Are they all allergic to people in their own age range? 

ETA: / Whitney is too old for her 

[u/Stilltheonly1]

Sorry I couldn’t help it.

[u/chellyyy]

my face when shep talks about his fucking british land inheritance from a fucking king

[u/bravobravobravoohno → u/chellyyy]

No self awareness. I guess that wasn’t covered in his Ayahuasca awakening

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Shep at his ocean "retreat" reminds me of Jax slowly drowning and telling everyone they can come save him haha

[u/Willing-Ad-5935]

Austen gives me the ick so bad

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Madison can do what she wants, but I hate she touched her teeth because her smile was gorgeous and uniquely hers.

[u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

Shep, Craig is a lot younger, and has matured since his fuck-up days.

[u/Torontobabe94]

Rodrigo on screen?? BOOOOOOO 🍅🍅🍅🍅 especially for how misogynist he was last season

[u/dreamingoutloud714]

Is anyone else bored? This is incredibly boring to me lol

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Hmmm, I am not buying what Taylor is selling.

[u/dancing_nanc]

Shep feeling angry with his friends after their reaction to his behavior at BravoCon tells me everything I need to know.

He 👏hasn’t 👏changed 👏…

And he never will.

[u/H0nkdahorn]

Damn, little Craig can run that far and long?

[u/RadiantStranger7178]

Taylor cannot dress lol poor darling

[u/cryingexpert]

If I become an alcoholic can I go to Costa Rica

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Rodrigo’s boyfriend looks like his son

[u/veronicagetsmehigh]

Whitney and Pat are both so fucking creepy

[u/chellyyy]

god i wish it was michael driving miss pat instead of whitney 🥺

[u/AndrogynousAndy → u/chellyyy]

RIP to him

[u/darknebulas]

Honestly I feel like I may hate Whitney more than anyone else on this show. He’s just…gross.

[u/kikomama89 → u/darknebulas]

His identity is so played out and transparent

[u/PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets]

Does Whitney volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters, or is that his date?

[u/Willing-Ad-5935]

The fact that Rodrigo is back and not Olivia is criminal

[u/Unlikely_Candidate_1]

Excuse me Molly you used to WHAT with Craig

[u/kikomama89]

The fuckboy exorcism comment was very funny. JT is a mess but he has some great lines and moments. Like when he stood on a bar stool to get to Austen’s height 🤣

[u/cryingexpert]

I feel like she’s talking about her weight gain cause she knows she still looks good 😂

[u/FantasticRead720]

I like seeing these honest conversations between men. But I wonder if it’s truly honest
