Consider Me Charmed

I'm pretty sure everyone is as excited for tonight's season finale of Southern Charm as I am. We get to find out what happens after Whitney tells Thomas that he, too, slept with Kathryn Dennis. (Yes, that's the most annoying way to spell Catherine.) Spoiler alert: They don't break up, or at least not for long, which I know because gossip sites reported this morning that Kathryn is currently pregnant with T-Ravanations!!!!! baby. Apparently, that pregnancy scare earlier in the season was only scary for us. 

Obviously, Kathryn had some master plan, which makes the possibility of the whole season being staged pretty slim. Even if those other one night stands were fiction, who can resist the scandal of lovers with 30 years between them? (See my blog about Extreme Cougar Wives if you don't believe me.) So we love this show, and it isn't completely scripted--what are we going to do if there isn't a season 2? The media reported that Kathryn and Thomas are currently living in Florida, and I'm hoping it's only temporary. I must see the flame-haired, squinty-eyed spawn of those two on the small screen. 

And who could forget McConaughey-lookalike Shep, parakeet Jenna, or the unofficial inspiration of Arthur the movie, Whitney? They imbibe, they eat fried food, and they remain scrawny, as if sweet tea is some sort of miracle diet elixir I should know about. Equally interesting is the self-cherishing ability to call oneself a gentleman or classy and simultaneously act like an ass.

But it's ok; I watch them anyway. This cast can be the Rhett to my Scarlett any day.
