I started watching to catch up to current seasons and segway into Southern Hospitality. I was good with it up to about season 8 I think because cast members disappeared basically. Then it got cringe with Thomas and the sexual assault which he admitted to and Bravo felt okay with showing him again and acting like that didn't happen. It almost makes me wonder with all that transpired with Kathryn, if she and new nanny staged it. The fact Kathryn moved back in with him after speaks volumes. I like Craig and Shep. I miss Cam but think she was smart to remove herself ahead of them showing Thomas. She is southern charming. I have zero pity for Kathryn and glad she removed herself. The biggest issue with this show is it's over produced and reality is lost in forced story lines. Cast changes are frustrating. Landon leaving was a plus because she was basically shamed off due to her falsely thinking she could fit into the south when clearly she is typical so cal trifling material. The hairdresser who was on survivor was annoying playing the , mom- to- everyone role like she was on a pedestal looking down on everyone. It got bad when they started white shaming and doing the whole poor me minority (i'm successful and wealthy but a victim) nonsense which is why I'm hesitant to watch southern hospitality. Shep and Craig are good reality tv as was cam and even Kathryn. Not sure why they kept Taylor except for a ridiculous plot line. Maddison isn't appealing to me. Patricia is great and I enjoy her parties and historical information she provides. Lots of bullying Shep for his age as if he's supposed to act and behave a certain way because of his age? Still, it's more entertaining than summer house but never will reach VPR status. Rating: 7.
