Previously on
the "Southern Charm"

season 10 reunion.

Whoa!

I don't believe you.

What?

- Stop.
- Are you serious?

Hey, Shep, we gotta
talk about the text.

A weird day for freckled lips.

Molly and Shep, well, you
shared a kiss at the finale.

What happened after?

I mean...

- Ooh!
- Wait, really?

Craig, you just said

that she broke up
with you in Toronto.

Yeah.

And you were with Austen

but you chose not to
share that with him.

This is gonna be a harsh
but I don't trust him yet.

You and I are going out
on dates every single day.

Mm-hmm.

Super teaser drops.

I text you, your
ex-girlfriend's in my----ing DM

calling me a goddamn rat.

What the-

And then you ghost
to me for a week.

You should have said,

"Hey, Venita, I
really want us to talk

because I don't like what's
happening between us.

We could talk it out."
- I did.

- You didn't.
- I did.

I asked you for a meeting.

Do you want me to
go grab my phone?

Thank you.
- The girl you date now

is the girl that you
dated before Venita.

The girl who sent
her nasty messages.

Yes.

I have a feeling it's
about to get worse.

Oh, boy.

Tonight, the "Southern
Charm" reunion continues.

♪ Mm-hmm

What do
you wanna show us?

You said to me before
I got up and walked away,

you were like, "You ghosted
me and my feelings were hurt."

That's what you said to me.

Yes.

October 29th, "It will
be super helpful for us

to both link up in person

to just see how you're
doing after yesterday."

So this is after
the trailer dropped?

Yes.

Yeah, the day after.

Because we're
seeing each other now.

We're hanging out every
day, like you said.

And I'm reaching out to
you to be caring to you.

I said,

"I think I'm gonna just take
time to myself right now."

Right, boom.
- That's what I said.

We don't talk 'cause
I took time, and then-

And I called
you multiple times

and I text-
- You didn't.

JT, you didn't.
- Did I text you more?

That weekend?

That weekend, so
there's still no response.

I'm in the dark going, we were
just hanging out every day,

and I'm reaching out trying
to make sure you're okay.

And what did he
say over the weekend?

"Just wanted to let you
know my mind was on yours."

I was at my best
friend's wedding so I
didn't have my phone.

And you said, "Got
it, will let you be."

But like-
- I got to let you be.

That's it. You gave me
a week of I don't care.

And then how soon
after then when you said-

At 1:30 the next----ing day,

you post that girl on
your goddamn Instagram.

And say we're
girlfriend and boyfriend.

Why did you do that?

Why did you post that?
- Hold on, real quick, look.

He was
trying to get her back.

You don't think that
was gonna hurt me?

Real quick, did those
text messages like,

that's showing me
showing care for you.

I know, it totally is.

I'm just wondering then

what compelled you
to post that then.

Were you doing damage control?

No.

Did Venita hurt your
feelings and you tried to hurt

her feelings back?
- Yes.

No, no, no, no.

After a week of trying
for someone I cared about,

I said, you know what?

I gotta move on because I can't
keep sitting here in limbo.

After a week.

It's a week.

It's seven days.

Okay, so can I...

Wait, wait, wait,
just wait a second.

You just verbatim been
like, "Hey listen.

Like, I know you're
taking time for yourself,

but I have to be very honest."

But it's----ing
with my head, yeah.

"I don't know where
we stand right now

and it's hurting my heart."
- Yeah, I guess.

"Can
we talk about it?"

I hear you.

- You did not give me that.
- That's fair, that's fair.

I can see you getting
mad about that.

Look, it was a big
miscommunication

but my feelings were there.

Sounds like you still have

a lot of love and
chemistry for each other

interestingly enough.
- I think they just

miscommunicated and both
sides are super hurt.

Yes, I agree.

Well, I guess the question
is, where do you go from here?

I'd like to repair it and
get the friendship back.

Do you wanna
be friends with him?

Yeah.

You do?

Wow, wow.

Do you wanna date him?

Yeah.

You do?

- Yeah.
- Aw.

It's very honest of you.

But I'm not gonna allow
myself to work on our friendship

with her in the picture because
I know she does not like me.

So how do you respond to that?

I think step one is
just being here today

and like, seeing you in person.

And I think we just take
it one day at a time.

Okay.

All right, well, this is,

this is interesting.

Despite JT being on the
f-boy hot seat this season,

he continued to proselytize
about the truth.

Okay, let's get to the
bottom of some conspiracies.

Oh, God.

Why is Madison in matching
polka dots with Austen?

You sound absolutely
nuts right now.

Austen and Madison, did you
your polka dotted outfits?

- Polka dot, Madison.
- I know.

I know it was on the invite.

I called her and I was like,
"Madison, I want you back.

Let's coordinate together."

I'm gonna fight Brett
at this horse race.

No, we did not coordinate.

I will own that, and I
will walk that one back.

That was silly.

Walk a lot back.

Conspiracy theory that
Austen cheated on Audrey.

Leva, this actually
came from you

Last summer, he's
been dating her?

Yeah.

They've been
dating for that long?

Something's not adding up.

- What's the timeline?
- I met a whole bunch of girls

who say they dated Austen.

Okay, so for clarification,
I did not say cheated.

Okay.

Rod was saying

that they had been
girlfriend-boyfriend
for like a year,

so it was the timeline.

And I apologized to Austen

'cause I was like, that's
not what I meant by it.

Right, right.

I had met her six months

prior to us being, like,
an official relationship.

Madison, have you met Audrey?

- Yes.
- What do you think of her?

I love, I think she's lovely.

Is the relationship
the real deal?

- It feels like it.
- Really?

Mm-hmm.

Are you
in love with her?

I am.

You are?

Shut up, Rod.

It's just so nice.

Isn't this nice, dad?

It is very nice.

It's so nice, yes.

- You are?
- She is just a darling.

Okay, conspiracy theory

that JT called Miss
Patricia a bitch.

I don't know if
Whitney's gonna talk to JT

after he finds out what
he said about his mom.

He called you a bitch.

Now that does not
exist on camera.

Miss Patricia came out
on Instagram and said,

"When this was filmed,

I still believed JT
called me the b-word.

Now, I don't think he did."

Who here thinks JT
called her a bitch?

I know he did.

Okay.

Oh, boy.

Okay.

Craig, you really
hurt my feelings, bro.

No audio found.

You look like the handsome
boy that cried wolf.

I don't care.

I don't have a
dog in this fight.

I'm telling you exactly
what----ing happened.

You look like the handsome
boy that cried wolf.

And you're lying, and
your lies are painful.

But here's a
good point though.

JT, take the bitch
thing out of it.

The stuff that you said

outside of the bitch
thing was way worse.

There's nothing to take
out 'cause I didn't say it,

so stop saying it.

I'm saying take
that out of it.

The stuff about Madison,

the stuff about Austen.
- The stuff about Madison,

the stuff about Austen.

You don't hold
him accountable.

We gotta get this guy in order.

No.

You're keeping
Austen in your life

who's pulling this sh--.

It's none of my business.

Did Craig misrepresent what
was said at your golf outing?

I'd say 90% of
it was was spot on.

- Shut up.
- 90% was spot on.

Yeah, you embellish.

You embellish.

I'm saying that's
a good thing, Shep.

- Oh, okay.
- 90% to then go and repeat

everything that was said.

It's pretty damn----ing good.

He's like, "No, it's good."

I thought he was coming at me.

I was like, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Shep, are you serious?

You're serious right now?

Yeah, I was there.

Saying that I
called her a bitch.

I didn't say that.

That's the 10%.

Then what's the 90% I did say?

You tried to play
moral police with us.

You went on a rant
how we can't stand

for this sort of behavior
from our friends.

No, I'm saying-

You exactly said that.

I was like, "What the----
are you talking about?"

You said we're enabling Austen

to continue to cheat
on his girlfriend

by being friends with him
- Which is just like

you coming up with nonsense.
- Which is insane.

You're gonna let him
just roll you like that.

All right, I do
wanna talk about

your relationship to the truth.

Sure.

Okay?

Because you said on
"Watch What Happens Live"

that you had never
lied on camera.

I stand by it.

And I said,

well, in the episode that
we were coming on after,

they had showed a
montage of you lying.

Well, I wanna show
you the montage.

Yeah, and I'll
walk you through it.

- Okay.
- How long did you know

that you didn't graduate
from law school?

Since the beginning.

Really?

Those words never
came out of my mouth.

I just graduated law school.

Did you really graduate?

Yeah.

My fingerprint's done, my jobs.

Then I had to get three
character affidavits.

All right, future's in here.

So did you take the bar?

I'm not allowed
to take the bar.

I hadn't received
my official diploma.

So I did mail in
my bar application.

It was rejected because I hadn't
finished that final paper.

Okay.

The graduating
thing, I did walk

and I was missing
one credit, so.

You lied about graduating.

Well, define graduating.

Craig, I mean,
this is okay though.

This was that point where
you were, like Adderall was,

I mean, you were not the
same person you are today.

Right, but I was-

- Yeah.
- It's okay to say

I was fallible like a
back mofo back then.

I get that.

But what I'm saying is
when we are filming,

I would never say something

that can impeach me
at the end of the day.

Austen,
what do you think

about Craig's
relationship to the truth?

I mean, I'm not gonna flat out

call Craig just, like, a liar
but you are an embellisher.

Craig and I have sh--

that we're gonna be
talking about here soon,

and we'll get to that.

Okay, well, it sounds
like there's a lot of...

We're a dramatic bunch.

There could be some
work to be done here.

And we're gonna leave it
there and come right back.

Coming up.

They don't realize it,

but I know all their
secrets.

I am terrified of Craig.

Is anyone else scared of him?

Yes.

Hello,
Miss Patricia.

Hi.

The queen has landed.

This is her first reunion.

Oh.

They don't realize that
I know all their secrets.

Hi.

I can't have the sugar.

As a truce, just a little bit.

Yes, I'll down it.

- A little bit?
- I'll risk my life.

Oh, you'll down
it for a truce?

Yeah.

Yeah?

You're giving me a
truce to risk of my life?

Would you prefer tequila-soda?

I'm risking my life.

Well, don't make the thing be-

- Are you trying to kill me?
- No.

Okay, here you
go, you're flirting again, so.

No, we're not
flirting anymore.

We're just...

I'm trying to be good.

Mm-hmm.

How's your mom?

All right, everybody
to your chairs, please.

Are you
ready for Patricia

to come apologize to you?

Is she?

Well, she's here.

Is she here?

Oh!

Hey!

How are you?

I'm good.

Nice to see you.

Patricia!

I'm so glad you're here.

Thank you.

You look beautiful.

All right, four, three, two.

Hey, everybody.

I'm Andy Cohen,

and we're back with the
gang from "Southern Charm"

and Miss Patricia.

Hey, Miss Patricia.

Hi.

Is this
your first reunion?

First and last.

Yes.

Well, does this set
look familiar to you?

I think whoever
did this was genius.

I mean, there's a
painting in my house.

There are fake
antiques.

Yes!

- Exactly.
- Well, it is inspired

by your home, or should
I say Whitney's home?

- Whitney's home.
- Yes.

Well, it is hard to
believe that "Southern Charm"

first graced our screens
over 10 years ago.

It's such a transformation
for this group of charmers,

some of whom were baby faced,
naive, and even law students.

Let's take a look back.

My name is Shep Rose.

My name is Whitney
James Sudler-Smith.

My name is Craig Conover.

Pull!

Yee-haw!

So my group of friends
in Charleston, fun.

They're always
pretty fairly drunk.

Shep is----ing brilliant.

I do commercial real estate,
but I don't really do sh--.

Craig's funny.

He's probably one of
the younger of the crew.

He's a law student.
- I mean, I love the law

but I wanna be an attorney
to be wealthy, obviously.

I love money.

It's awesome.

I'm used to being
filmed at my boudoir.

Thank you.

Oh my, oh.

The gentlemen, the guys
that all hang out together

are good-looking, fun,
accomplished, rich,

and none of them are married.

I always say my
wife's not even born yet

but as a joke.

I do wanna have, you know,
a family, I think, one day.

But there's a window,

and it probably just
is starting to open,

and it'll probably close

in 15 years or 10
years or 12 years.

Oh, damn.

Wow.

Wow!

That was amazing.
- That was brilliant.

- Oh my God.
- And Craig, you said,

your wife hasn't been born yet?

I don't know that guy.

Oh, I love that guy.

I love that guy.

Yeah, she's in
middle school now.

She's in middle school.

Wow.

Miss Pat, you look
exactly the same.

Literally.

What's your secret?

Botox everywhere.

Okay, okay.

Your son, he's one of
the shows producers.

How did he convince
you to be a part of it?

I didn't wanna do it.

Right.

I mean, I came to
Charleston to retire.

Yeah.

You know, read and eat
bonbons on my chaise.

Yeah.

He said just do
it for five minutes.

And then they call
me and they said,

"Well, just do it for the
next episode," and then-

I remember being on
the side of it at Bravo,

and we always wanted
more Miss Pat.

Oh, that's very kind of you.

Yes.

And I never thought
it would go anywhere.

I mean, who would be
interested in watching

this cast of reprobates
and their misdeeds

that have gone on
now for 10 years.

Right.

Was it the scorn of Charleston
kind of good society?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

A lot of the locals,
at first, they hated it,

and then they're like, oh,
it's just entertainment.

The city used to called the
show Charmageddon and then-

Wow.

They kinda changed their-

Oh, people love it.

Yeah.

And the carriage rides
now go by my house.

Wow.

Whitney thinks that
he deserves like a cut

of the tourism that
comes to his house.

Craig, you said on
"Watch What Happens Live",

you thought the
first day of filming

was some elaborate trick
that Whitney was planning.

What do you remember most about
your first days of filming?

I just didn't
think it was real.

I thought Whitney had
made up the entire thing.

Did you ever think you'd
be here 10 years later?

No.

- No.
- Three years was the goal.

Yes.

Madison, you were
around in the early days

because you were
doing Patricia's hair.

We've been friends
for 17, 18 years now.

Wow.

And I invited her to a
lot of the early parties.

Uh-huh.

And in fact, two
of the guys here

tried to hook up with her.

I think it was, what,
four seasons, this season.

She's talking
about me and Shep.

I don't care.

Maybe I did.

Well, the friendship
that the two of you share

really resonates.

Yeah, I love her.

Oh, I love you.

Aw, that's nice.

So exciting that
she's pregnant, right?

I'm thrilled.

And I've known about
it and I never-

- Mm-mm.
- Divulged the secret,

which is like the only
secret I've ever kept.

You were on "Watch What
Happens Live" recently

and you said that you thought
that Paige was mean to Craig.

Were you surprised, Miss Pat?

No.

No, why?

I thought that Paige
was mean to Craig.

You did?

I did.

I took a lot of
criticism for saying that

because people
said, "Oh, you know,

you're not a career-oriented,
independent woman,"

which is totally incorrect.

I've always worked.
- Okay.

But my point was
that it was dismissive

and bordered on being rude.

It was the way she said it.

Yes.

So Miss Pat, you've always
given the boys words of wisdom

when it comes to dating.

Shep is now single.

Craig is now single.

Any advice that you
can impart to them

at this moment in their lives?

You know, I have made many
suggestions over the years,

and they look at me

and, you know, they
nod and yes, yes, yes.

Yes.

But as you can tell,
nobody pays any attention.

It's lost,

so, you know-
- Right, yeah.

- I don't even-
- It's worth it.

It's not worth it.

I don't bother anymore.

All right, thank you,
Miss Pat, for your cameo.

Oh, it was my pleasure.

Thank you.
- I love it, all right.

And congratulations to everyone
on 10 memorable seasons.

Thank you.

Coming up.

You went around
trashing my boyfriend.

You're still running
your mouth about me.

You have nothing better
going on in your life.

We are back with the season
10 "Southern Charm" reunion.

Well, this season
we were introduced

to not one, but two
new Southern belles.

I got a more
passionate man now.

He's hot.

He looks like Jesus with tats.

Hmm.

Also, Taylor slept with him.

I'm 36.

I'm in the years of the people
who are getting divorced.

So now, there are new men
opening up again.

But then I feel like

they're gonna go through
that, like, ho phase.

You don't wanna
get 'em fresh out.

No 'cause I'm
a jealous psycho.

Cheers to that.

Same.

This season, Molly said

Charleston was full of
garbage men Peter Pans

who suck at life.

I am from Charleston.

Okay.

And dating sucks.

A lot of the guys are just
used to having gorgeous women

throwing themselves at them

because there's not that
many amazing people here.

Venita, you cosign that?

I do.

You do.

Molly, there were a lot
of viewers who related

to your personal struggles
this season with body image.

Yeah.

It's just hard to
accept a new body.

And a lot of people
online are mean,

so that has affected me.

On that note,
Whitney and the cupcake.

So you do this

so you don't get icing
all over and your nose.

Hey, you know what, Molly?

It's the last thing you need.

Whitney!

I was like, "Dude,
what the----?"

Did Whitney ever
apologize to you?

- He did, yeah.
- He did?

Was it hard for you to
be so open and vulnerable

about your weight struggles?

I don't know.

I'm just really open about
the things that bother me.

I appreciate when other people

are really transparent
about that stuff.

It helps me feel less alone.

Brian Moylan wrote in Vulture,

"I love this weird ass geeky
girl with all my heart.

Of all the reality
shows I've consumed,

never have I once seen one
that hinged on a tuba solo.

Feed us, oh great tuba goddess."

How does it feel?
- That is the best thing

I've ever heard in my life.

Music is beautiful, and it
changes you, and it's powerful.

And it doesn't matter what kind.

You know, it could
be singing, piano.

It could be anything.

Well, I was impressed by
just how intuit the group was.

I was so honored-

We support each other.

- It was beautiful.
- To have everyone

come and support me.

It really, really meant a lot.

Shep, is playing
an instrument sexy?

Amazing.

Any instrument.

Yes.

Yeah.

Okay, moving on,

Salley, we got a lot of
comments on your job.

Yep. Bravo in
Blaze said, "Hold up.

I'm still processing that
Salley is a spine surgeon."

Okay, so you control a robot?
- Okay.

Yes. A lot of people
think that I'm just there

if the robot malfunctions,

but I am very much the only
person touching the robot.

The surgeon is still
doing the surgery.

It is a guidance system,

and it's placing
screws in your spine.

You and Taylor have some
overlap when it comes to men,

Gaston, Andrew, Shep.

Yeah.

How'd you
and Shep get together?

Shep slid into my DMs.

Okay.

- He-
- Is Salley the only woman

who's ever kicked
you out of bed.

Yes, yes.

It was shocking.

It was like two
o'clock in the morning,

and then he wouldn't leave.

Oh my God.

I was like, "But
I wanna stay here."

She's like, "No, you're
not staying here."

- I'm sorry for that.
- Why'd you kick him out?

I was just honestly just
kind of ashamed of myself for-

Oh no!

No, not...

Like, I think so highly of
you but I am not someone that,

like, goes and has
like a one night stand

and it very much was that.

Taylor, we got a
lot of comments about
you being bothered

by the fact that Salley
hooked up with Shep.

Definitely not
bothered by them.

She can do whatever she wants.

It was more so of
he's obsessed with me,

and he wishes that things
had progressed with me

instead of Taylor, and da da da.

I would never say that.

That's just not what happened.

Shep was the one,

he was blowing up my phone.

I never said he was
obsessed with me.

But he did blow up my phone.
- Okay, well,

you just said that he was
blowing up your phone.

That's the same thing as
saying he's obsessed with you.

Okay, well, whatever.

Salley, how is
your dating life?

Are you still with Andrew?
- I mean...

No.

God, no.

And the only thing I will
have her back on is that

that guy is weird.

She said he was weird.

He's----ing weird.

- Hey, how are you?
- Good, man, how are you?

Andrew, he's very strange.

Well, Taylor stepped outta
last season's love triangle

right into a new relationship

that seemed a lot
like a fairytale.

- You tried.
- Is that a ball in your pants

or are you just
excited to see me?

Excited.

So Taylor, you two
are still together.

- Mm-hmm.
- How long has it been?

Almost a year and a half.

Taylor, since there's
been so much chatter

about your boyfriend-

He told me to keep his
name out of my----ing mouth.

She's dating a dirtbag.

I'm sorry, I know
y'all are friends.

Gaston, he was cheating
on my friend with Salley.

I would just love
to give you the floor

to clear anything up.

Um...

Taylor, since there's
been so much chatter

about your boyfriend,
I would just love

to give you the floor
to clear anything up.

Um...

He's an incredible human being.

He treats me well, and
I'm gonna hold him close.

Okay.

Shep, you called Gaston mid.

Why would you
hook up with him?

He's not good-looking.

Shep, shut up.

I'm just saying.

He looks mid, average.

I think talking
about someone's looks

is very middle school mean girl.

Like, it's just not-

I agree.

Shep, you said her family
wanted her to be with you.

That
wasn't fair to say.

Why'd you say it?

Well, I hope this isn't...

At her brother's funeral,

her sweet, sweet
granddad was like,

"Are you and Taylor
gonna get back together?"

And I was just like,
oh my gosh, so-

I don't think he
would ever say that.

At this point, I
just care about her,

and I never will
stop doing that.

What's frustrating
is hearing you say

you care a whole
hell out of a lot.

Why didn't you care

when you had your tongue down
some other girl's throat?

You cared a little too late.

I agree.

All right, one person

who has a lot to say
about Gaston is Salley.

Why keep talking about him?

I stopped completely.

She's the one that's continued
to go around town, and him.

Well, yeah, when
you're going around town

and coming into a
new friend group-

When I'm going around town
talking about you is crazy!

You went around
trashing my boyfriend.

You're still running
your mouth about me today,

yesterday, the day before it.
- Before I even had a chance

to bring my relationship-
- You have nothing better

going on in your life.

And introduce him
to my friend group.

Nothing better
going on in your life.

Okay, you came in and
infiltrated and leveraged

my fractured friendship
with the girls-

There are people in this group

that have told me
not to trust you.

Why would I...

Why?

The whole point is that you
came into her friend group,

and understandably,
that is your experience,

and talked about a guy

that she hadn't even
introduced to the group yet.

It's understandable
from both ends but-

He's not this asshole
that you make him out to be.

He was an asshole to me.

You don't have to scream
it to the mountaintops

to our friend group.

Salley, do you wanna have
a friendship with Taylor Ann?

Not while she's
dating Gaston, no.

I guess we won't
ever be friends.

Do you think you'll
get married to Gaston?

I think so.

When do you think you and
Gaston will make it official?

Thinking this year.

All right.

Yeah.

Wow.

Wow.

Well, we wish you the best.

Thank you.

Well, this season,
Charleston's resident
Martha Stewart,

AKA Craig, attempted to
live out his suburban dreams

with a brand new pool and a
side hustle as a beekeeper.

But at the end of the
season, Craig was stung

when his queen
abruptly left the hive.

If you said to me right now,

"We need to have a
baby or I'm leaving,"

like, you'd have to leave.

When am I gonna see you?

Never. This is the last
time you're ever gonna see me.

No, it's not.

- And you just don't know it.
- We were best friends.

We loved each other.

We had a great sex life.

How are we giving this up?

Craig, I know we have a lot
to discuss about the breakup,

but first, I wanna know, how's
the sewing business going?

Business is good.

I'm very fortunate that
things outside of the breakup

are something to be
appreciative for.

You caught some flack this
season being more concerned

with promoting your
businesses on Instagram

than spending time with friends.

Shep, you were after him

to get serious about
his life for so long.

Look, there's
a balance, right?

And if Craig had just really
been more communicative,

looking back, I mean, you know,

when you had your talk
with Austen on the beach-

It was like trying
not to be an alcoholic

is now affecting my
friendship with Austen.

I wasn't in a great spot, dude.

Communication is everything and-

Yeah, and you-

I'm sure we're
gonna get there.

Good, good.

Austen, did his
relationship with Paige

caused him to pull back from
his friendship with you?

You know, you get into a
relationship like Craig was in,

and there's no shame or anything

to, like, make that person
like your number one priority.

But when did things
begin to go wrong?

I can't even tell you.

So that just shows,

like, he didn't lean
on any of his friends.

And third party friendships
are really important as well.

And I think his anchor was
dug in so deep with her

that maybe that wasn't a healthy
thing at the end for them.

You know, my only way to
get to where I wanted to get

on my, like, journey was
to really isolate myself.

And like, I really liked
having someone home to go...

I don't know.

Looking at it
from the outside,

it seemed like you were setting
up a life for the two of you

that only one of you
was interested in.

Oh, Jesus----.

Okay, so then,

when you're like,
"I want some honey,"

what does that look like?

You go to
the store and buy it.

Do you think there were signs

you missed in the relationship?

The funny thing is,

is I was working on myself
to not react to signs.

So like, she stopped
visiting me in Charleston

but it was because she
was, like, too busy.

She never came to
the Nashville store

but it was, like,
she was too busy.

So it was a confusing
relationship to be in sometimes.

Talk to me about the ring.

She was like, "I'd like
you to get me a ring.

Like, I think it's time."

So I had it made here,

and it's like four-karat
elongated cushion cut

with a half carat of
diamonds around the band.

Then by the time I got
the ring, she was like,

"I'd rather you wait until
after I announce the business."

But looking back, like, it
didn't feel totally right.

Like, I was nervous, but not
the good type of nervous.

What will
you do with it?

I'll bring it
back to the jeweler.

I don't re-gift jewelry
like my friend over here.

He got me a megalodon tooth.

The same one you got me.

It was a megalodon tooth.

The other one was
great white, okay?

They were
different species.

It's different.

Austen, recently on
"Watch What Happens Live",

you alluded that Paige having
moved on with another guy

was substantiated.

I don't think that
those are rumors,

and I think that
Craig knows as such.

Wow.

You said that with
pretty good certainty.

Yeah.

I shouldn't have

'cause I don't know the
girl's, you know, day to day,

but it looked like
repetitive dates.

So that's why I thought this
doesn't seem like it's a rumor.

At what point does, like,
three different outlets

corroborating a story...

Like, it's like if
it walks like a duck,

it quacks like a duck,
it's a duck, yeah.

That's, like, kind
of what I was alluding to.

Paige responded
to that accusation.

She said, "The narrative
took a turn really quickly

that I had cheated.

Let me say this here and now.

I didn't cheat on
my ex-boyfriend.

It was a full month
that we were broken up,

and I didn't say anything,

and he asked me not
to say anything."

That's not true.

Do you think she
cheated on you?

I'm not gonna even
touch anything with that.

Yeah, and that's not
what I was saying either.

I didn't
start those rumors.

Well, what do you think, Andy?

I mean, you saw
the little reports.

That's an HR issue.

Kyle and Amanda from "Summer
House" recently defended Paige.

You unfollowed Kyle and Amanda.

Yeah, they said there
was something wrong

with how I've been handling
being broken up with.

Her cast commenting
on how I'm grieving

and that I'm sorry that I'm
not reading Reddit every day

and getting on there
and defending her,

like, I never said you cheated,
so I'm not a part of this.

She broke up with me.

I----ing protected her
to the ends of the earth,

but that ended the day that
you cut me out of your life.

The two of you have not
spoken since your breakup.

She won't answer.

She won't answer?

No, she's cut
me completely off.

Rose07 tweeted,

"Women everywhere are gonna
be pursuing Craig so hard

after seeing what an amazing
boyfriend he was to Paige.

It won't be long before he
is walking down the aisle.

Just saying."

You haven't started
dating yet, right?

No, um-

We DM.

I sent him, I'm like, "Hey."

Yeah, she's been sending
me girls, which is funny.

And he's like, "This is fun."

The dating thing, I feel like,

I know it sounds silly
to the boys sometimes,

but I feel like I just
kinda wanna be fully healed,

and I think that's okay.

You maybe seem
a little relieved

about not having to, like,
cover for anything or...

I'm really sad, but
there's a lightness to it.

I did a lot of living by myself.

And in my head, I was like, one
day, we'll do this together.

So I was in love
with not reality.

I was in love with the potential

of what I thought we could be.

And I think, yes,

I was blinded by wanting
to make it work, I guess.

Coming up.

Why continue on if I'm just
gonna get, like, backhanded

for, like, stepping
outta line or something?

Yes.

Rod, can I get a sip of that?

Yes.

When do you start----ing
screaming and yelling,

you----ing asshole.

It hasn't
been my turn, dude.

It's about to be, I guess.

Yeah.

All right, Andy,
I'm sending it to you in

three, two...

Well, Craig and Paige may
have dominated recent headlines,

but the real love
story of this show

has always been between
Craig, Shep, and Austen.

However, this season
was a rocky road.

Last year, when we were
here, Shep was struggling,

and the two of you were
keeping him at arm's length.

It sounds to me like
you just don't see

relationships the way I do.

Like, you're willing-
- No, I think you----ed up

and you needed to
never do that again.

I've heard about some
bad nights you've had

since New New York.
- I have.

It hasn't been perfect.
- Okay, so what,

what do you think,
I'm a masochist

and I'm gonna keep
sticking around?

Craig has always been able
to draw that line in the sand.

I've never really been
able to do that before,

with Shep, like, especially.

He calls me,

and even if I'm like, "This
mother----er", I answer.

And Craig's like, "Why do
you do that to yourself?

You're mad at him.

It doesn't really, like,
you know, teach him a lesson

not to talk," like Shep's
like a dog or something.

But, like, when we began
this season, I was glad

that we could all kinda
go to Shep's hunting cabin

and have that talk to get
everything back on track,

and then you saw it
very quickly change.

You and Shep
had several conversations

about how Craig wasn't making
his friendships a priority.

He's extremely wrapped
up, reclusive in Craig.

I just feel like his
trying to curate an image.

He's starring in
his own commercial.

How did it feel for you to
hear your friends saying this?

Incredibly insulting.

I just never would have
imagined in my wildest dreams

that my friends would
take it personally

that I was working on myself.

Where I come from, if you
stop drinking alcohol,

it's because you have
a problem with alcohol.

Okay.

To be fair, you know,
when we got to The Bahamas,

I realized that Austen, it
never even crossed his mind,

and that's my fault for, I
guess, never sitting him down

and talking to him about it.

And I could have
seen some signs too

with, you know,
your past, right,

you know, to maybe be like,

oh, maybe he does have
a problem with alcohol.

But, like, when I came to your
house, it was purely out of,

like, Craig, I know
that you've been busy.

I miss my buddy.

If I'm going to lunch,

like, you're not on
my phone call list.

Like, if I'm going
to get like a beer,

you're not on my
phone call list.

But that's a you thing!

I was hoping that you
would be like, "Look,

maybe I have lost touch of
my personal relationships."

And instead, you, like, took it

like I was just, like, I don't
really know how you took it,

but all of a sudden-
- I just felt,

yeah, I felt blindsided.
- It's like we didn't talk

for, like, a week or
something after that.

And I was like, man, you know?

And Shep even said to me,

and he was like watching
the scene, he was like,

"I could just tell that
you were nervous as sh--.

And you were, like, 'Oh,
God, if I say something wrong

that Craig's gonna
bite my head off.'"

And you kinda did.
- Can I ask you a question?

Are you like...

I don't wanna say scared of him.

I am terrified of
Craig sometimes, yes.

Is it his temper?

It is most
certainly his temper.

You think you
have a bad temper?

Yeah, I'm working on it.

It's why I don't
- ing drink anymore.

Is anyone else scared of him?

Yes.

Sometimes, sometimes.

I mean, in The Bahamas...

What you said flamed it.

No, I didn't
say what you said!

What you said.

I'm stressed.

Yeah, I'm stressed.

You don't have
to rub it in, guys.

I'm saying, like, I believe it.

I had no idea that
that's how you felt.

There was a big
reaction online

to Paige making fun of Austen.

What grown man goes over
to another grown man's house

crying that he misses them?

Entity of love tweeted,

"I don't like how
Paige mocked Austen

for being vulnerable
with a friend.

Do better, mean girl."

Yeah.

I thought that she'd
be like, "I love this.

And, you know, you two
needed to hug it out."

Like, I thought that that
would be the demeanor

that she had.

She's not a mean girl.

She was just sticking up for me.

Austen, you felt that Craig

used the "Pillows and
Beer" podcast as a weapon.

What was up with you offering
him 50 grand initially

and then low balling him?

Offer
somewhere between 35 to $50,000.

Yeah, I'm
just gonna offer from 30

and see what he says.

---- you.

But I wasn't that shocked.

We're so bad at
communicating with each other.

Talking business.

Clearly.

We didn't know
what to do anymore.

Like, I was so frustrated at
Austen because in my mind,

I knew his goals, and in my
mind, he wasn't doing the stuff

that he needed to
do to get there.

Like, just how I changed my
relationship with alcohol

and my business
started to do better,

I can see it happening for him.

Okay, do you
think his drinking

is holding him back?

He does not have
a drinking problem.

Okay.

But you also said he
showed up hung over

for the "Pillows
and Beer" podcast.

I was shocked.

That was wrong.

With the podcast,
he wouldn't show up.

Really?

Or he'd be hung
over, like Xannied out

or like, just
miserable, you know?

- Xannied out?
- Yeah, he was Xannied out.

They were Xannied out.

Were you Xannied out?

Just to get it clear, I
do not have a Xanax problem.

Yes?
- No, no, no, no.

- Okay.
- I don't, like-

Craig will say these things

to make it look like
I'm the problem,

and it's not the truth at all.

I, like, you know, posted
something about, you know,

getting mimosas, you know,
with Audrey on a Sunday.

You know ,Craig, you're
just like, you know,

someone's in their party era.
- Yeah, I was disappointed.

And you say, like, "I
don't wanna go out anymore."

I don't even think
that I go out anymore.

Like, I go get,
you know, martins,

you know, with Rod,
like, at Santi's,

and like, we're home
by, like, eight o'clock.

Like, Madison said it
to me the other day

and like, it hit me
like a ton of bricks.

She was like, "The bottom line

is that Craig does not,
you know, respect you."

And I was like,

"Damn, that is true."
- I did say that.

Do you respect him?

Yes, but it's just,

for some reason, seeing
Austen drink makes me mad.

I know it does, I know.

And I
think it's weird.

Well, so Rodrigo, you
hang out with Austen.

Does he complain about
getting judged by Craig?

Yeah, all the time.

You're just feeling,

like, it's weird for
him to be so judgmental.

I'm not hurting anybody.

Like, anybody here would
go and have a drink.

He feels like you think
that you're better than him

and you treat him-
- No, he doesn't think that.

Like you're
better than him,

and like you're more
successful than him

and it makes him feel-
- Craig,

you're from, like, an
ivory tower, man, sometimes

of, like, superiority.

But see, this stuff makes me
not wanna hang out with him.

But if he feels like
you're looking at him

from an ivory tower-

Well, that's----ed up.

And if he thinks that,

like, then we don't
need to hang anymore

because if you think
that I look down on you,

you know that that's
not my character.

You just said that
to your best friend

who is trying to open up his
heart to you. That is so rude!

What?

No, that's how I feel.

Okay.

Like, if you
think that I think

that I'm better you-
- I'm like, I came here today-

Then you shouldn't
be friends with me.

Craig, I've been
battling with it!

It's like what I'm
trying to tell you.

Why continue on if I'm just
gonna get, like, backhanded

for, like, stepping out
the line or something?

It's like a crazy concept

that I don't have
with anybody else.

Yes.

He feels like you're looking
at him from an ivory tower.

Well, that's----ed up.

And if he thinks that, like,

then we don't need
to hang anymore

because if you think
that I look down on you,

you know that that's
not my character.

You just said that
to your best friend

who is trying to open up his
heart to you. That is so rude!

Craig, I've been
battling with it!

It's, like, what I'm
trying to tell you.

Why continue on if I'm just
gonna get, like, backhanded

for, like, stepping out
of line or something?

Yes.

I can't control the way
that you perceive my actions.

Oh, that's
like, gaslighting.

I know it's
the wrong thing to say

but like, I know how-

Yeah, but your best
friend's trying to be open.

Okay, guys.

I mean, I'm hearing it.

However, I feel like
the conversation

at the end of this year, I
finally understood you better

and you understood me better.

Well, I wanna talk about that.

On the last night
in The Bahamas,

you admitted something
really personal to Austen.

Yeah, I have a
problem with alcohol.

You said I'm taking the bin.

I'm taking the bin to the house.

You're bitching about him-

I don't want to
get on a plane.

I'm taking a plane.
- Just shut up!

Are you drunk?

What
was that, Chelsea?

I think it was really brave
and touching to hear you say

you needed to stay on your
couch to protect yourself.

Because if I leave my couch,

I'm gonna drink a bottle of
Jager and do dumb sh--.

I just thought that
was really powerful.

So first of all, kudos to you.

Thanks.

Well, it's weird to
talk about, you know?

Yeah, but it shouldn't be.

If you were to open up,
this entire friend group

would just like scoop you
up and have your back.

Yeah.

I think you have a bit
of an addictive personality

where it's like all Paige,
or all this, or all work.

I think the universe put
these two guys in your life

to, like, allow you to have
a little bit more balance.

Your reaction to that
conversation was what?

My conversation with
Craig in The Bahamas?

Yes.

Yeah.

I mean, for him
to open up to me,

which Leva, you can
sit there and be like,

"You know, man, why
don't you just say?"

It's harder for
us for some reason

to just, like, be completely
open and vulnerable.

So when Craig decided
to open up to me

it, like, made me,
like, emotional, right,

because there is a genuine
care and love for Craig.

I----ing love you.

So now, you have a different
relationship with alcohol,

yet he's still terrified of you.

Right.

And I'm saying, like, it sucks

that you guys think that about
me, and I will work on it.

I hear you.

It's just unexpected.

Well, so Austen,
maybe you need

to be a little
more communicative
with him, you know?

Yeah, I mean, I feel like

I try to, like, keep the
peace sometimes to a fault,

and then it ends up
biting me in the ass.

What's your take on this?

I just want them to make
up and get back together.

That's all.
- Yeah.

- At the end of the day-
- It's so obvious

you all love each other.
- I know it'll happen.

It's just-

Well, clearly,
they love each other,

and they're great together.

You guys are super fun.

You have a lot of
affection for each other.

You two are gonna go
to dinner tonight,

and you are not gonna judge
him when he orders a martini.

Maybe I'll have a
celebratory beer with you.

No, we're drinking NA.

Okay, I'll do that.

Madison said, "Don't
leave me."

Yeah.

Craig, anything you feel
like we didn't address

that you wanna-

I hope not.

Okay.

I feel like I've received...

No, I think I'm excited

that we all live in
Charleston together.

I'm excited to be spending
more time in Charleston now.

You think next
year, when we're here,

you'll have a girlfriend?

I don't think you
can plan that stuff.

Austen, anything more
you wanna say to Craig?

No, no, no, no.

I hope that Craig is,
you know, received it

and that we can just get back
to like our smiley, fun times.

I hope so.

JT, do you feel like you're
gonna be able to repair

any of your friendships
within this group today?

I do.

I think there's definitely
a lot of people here

that I care about.

One day at a time.

Venita, where do you
and JT go from here?

Well, I mean, I can't do much.

He's dating somebody.

Yes.

Do you feel cleaner with
him at the end of the night

than you did when you came in?
- I do.

I do, yeah.
- You do? You too, JT?

Yeah, it's like a huge
weight off of my shoulders.

That's good.

Shep, I feel like it's
a tradition by now.

I would love to
give you the floor

for some final thoughts, sir.
- Okay.

I think I'd be remiss

not to celebrate with
all of you 10 seasons.

For Craig and I, we had no idea
this was gonna go this far.

But to all of you,
you are family to me.

We only know things that a very
small number of people know,

whether it be feeling
under the gun,

dealing with online hatred.

Whatever it is, it's a very
unique club that we're in.

And so I hope that you
feel warmth towards anybody

who's been through it
for the rest of your life

because I know I will.

That's nice.

Hear, hear.

Well, thank you.

I wanna thank all of you
for another great season.

I'm Andy Cohen.

Thanks, and good night.

Thanks, guys.

Great job.
- Holy moly

and just like that-
- Good job, Shep.

That was good.
- You did it. Good job, Shep.

That was one of
your better ones.
