Sometimes we talk about how reality shows have filler scenes.
You know, silly things to just make an episode last 43 minutes.
Sometimes there are filler episodes, in which everything is calm between huge altercations.
What we seem to have here is aSouthern Charmfiller season.
Or maybe not great.
[LOUD BEEP] We interrupt this recap to test the Emergency Alert System.
If anyone knows his whereabouts, c’mon immediately communicate with the Housewives Institutes president and founder.
This concludes the test of the Emergency Alert System.
There was a little bit of prep for both parties.
Over at Austens house, we have to watch Bailey give him a haircut.
Thank God, she just disappears.
Im surprised she didnt get up and scream, Eskimo sisters!
before letting off a confetti cannon and sitting back down.
I love Kathryns response when everyone says, Ew, thats weird.
She says that Whitney is actually a catch and she doesnt know why theyre all freaking out.
I hate to say it, but I agree with Kathryn.
(I LOLed IRL when he took Austens jacket, then threw it on the ground.)
I mean, hes no Pringle, but these people have dated Shep, Craig, and Austen.
Whitney is a remarkable upgrade.
It seems to work, and the two are getting along.
Naomie tells her it is a swinger party and to beware.
No, Naomie a reporter for the failing New YorkTimesand a fake-news connoisseur.
No one here has watchedThe Ice Storm.
She adds that Madison has come between their friendship.
Here is Madison carrying this show like its a Telfar, and shes not even in the episode.
Apparently, at the dog wedding (Woof!
), Leva told Madison it looked like she was still into Austen.
Madison freaked out on her, so Leva texted Venita that shes dumb.
This is not a fight.
Leva is mad that Venita got between her and Madison, but that is not what happened.
Leva talked shit about Madison, and serendipitously, Madison found out about it.
Leva says, It was a misunderstanding gaslit into a war.
Um, did she say gaslit?
No, she didnt.
To gaslight someone means to tell them that something true is really false.
That is not what happened here.
There is no one trying to turn this into something its not.
You just embarrassed yourself.
If you have a problem, blame yourself.
There is no drama.
There is no tension.
There is just messiness.
It seems like an honest mistake.
Whats shocking is that Shep doesnt really care.
As Craig said at dinner, if there are no repercussions from Taylor, why even bother staying faithful?
Why not just have his cake and eat escargot too?
