What if I told you that you have a gaping hole in your life that can only be filled by a spunky Southern blonde, a lawyer turned seamstress, and a lovable, over-grown frat guy? Do you feel it now? That emptiness in your heart, void of endless drinking and drama? Lucky for you, "it's as easy as the birds and the bees and the 1-2-3's" (ba-ba-doo, ba-ba-dee) to fix this problem! You just need to binge watch Southern Charm!
Between the beauty of Charleston, the classic Southern gossip, and the utter hilarity of the cast, Bravo's Southern Charm is the reality TV therapy of your dreams. If you don't want to be best friends with Cam, sew with Craig, and party with Shep by the end of your first episode, you have bigger issues to worry about than that hole in your heart. Here are the top ten reasons you need to watch the greatness that is Southern Charm!
1. Cameron is the Cutest Conductor of the"Hot Mess Express"
The princess of Charleston, Cameron is who I aspire to be in life. Besides the fact that she lives on Chick-fil-a, her honesty and humor have permanently cemented her as my role model.
2. Shep's Awesome Life
Okay, to be honest, Shep's lifestyle both horrifies and enthralls me. He's a 38 year-old man child who drinks like he's a frat guy that is terrified of anything relating to "commitment." But he's just too darn lovable and good looking for any of that to matter. And he knows it.
3. Craig's shift from Lawyer to Seamstress
Craig is too much in the best kind of way. I mean, come on, the guy finally passed the bar and then proceeded to abandon law in the pursuit of sewing. I can't make this stuff up. Please, tune in just to meet Craig. You won't regret it.
4. The Endless Romantic Drama of Kathryn and Thomas
"Oh! Wow!" simply does not do Kathryn's history with Thomas justice. I don't even know where to begin with these two, so you'll simply have to watch it for yourself. Let's just say you need to be prepared for hookups, pregnancy, breakups, more hookups, more pregnancies, and more breakups. Oh, and drugs. Did I mention Kathryn is 25 years old and Thomas is 55?
5. The Queen of the South, Ms. Patricia
This lady is the epitome of Southern Charm. Her home is simply stunning and comes with its own dutiful butler, Michael! The wisdom and class that comes from this woman are simply unmatched. There's a reason she reigns supreme over the kingdom of Charleston!
6. The Famous Family Names
Perhaps one the greatest parts about this cast of characters is how truly ingrained they are in the history of Charleston's high society. The state's official dog is named after Shep's family, the famous Ravenel Bridge is in honor of Thomas' father, and Katherine has Vice President's John C. Calhoun's blood running through her veins. But do these fancy ties stop the cast from living their lives? I'll let this GIF speak for itself.
7. Shep and Craig's Bromance
Alright, maybe this is more of a "love and hate" relationship than it is a bromance, but come on, these two together is simply golden. Shep giving Craig a hard time is what I live for. Also, if anyone wants to buy me this shirt, I will forever be indebted to you.
8. The Drinking
Martinis, rosé, and beer flow as freely as the drama does on Southern Charm! The "Hot Mess Express" is fueled by alcohol and I wouldn't have it any other way.
9. The Southern Sayings
Y'all, you won't have a snowball's chance in hell of watching this show and not wishing you spoke with a Southern twang. Some of the phrases that leave these pretty people's mouths are so good they deserve to be on t-shirts. Oh wait...
10. Southern Charm Will Make Your Life Better
Do you feel that? That fuzzy feeling, slowly filling that gaping hole in your heart? That's the magic of introducing Southern Charm into your life. So what are you waiting for? Get watching! It's as easy as the birds and the bees and the 1-2-3's! Ba ba doo, ba ba dee...
