On February 4, Southern Charm stars Austen Kroll and Whitner Slagsvol were in the Bravo Clubhouse with host Andy Cohen. During a game of Truth or Chug, both guests were asked shady questions about their castmates.

If Andy asked a question they couldn’t or wouldn’t answer, they had to drink out of giant beer glasses. Presumably, as the game went on and more beer was consumed, players’ opinions would become more candid. And Craig Conover wasn’t there to defend himself, so why not?

Whitner Slagsvol was warned about Craig Conover before filming Southern Charm

First, Andy asked Austen to “give three ways Craig has changed for the better since his split with Paige.” Apparently, Austen doesn’t think there’s been much improvement, since he started chugging before Andy even finished his sentence.

Moving on, the next question was for the newbie. “Whitner, which of your Southern Charm pals were you warned the most about before filming?”

“I was warned the most about Craig before filming,” he responded. When Andy asked about what he was warned, Whitner added that he was told Craig always has “his own interests in mind.”

Next, Andy asked, “Austen, when was the last time you hooked up with Lindsay Hubbard?”

Austen burst out laughing before giving his answer. “I thought it was going to be at BravoCon almost,” he said. “She was full-court pressing. [But] it hasn’t been since the one and only time that her and I have hooked up.”

Returning to Whitner, Andy asked, “On a scale from one to ten, how successful a lawyer would Craig have been?” Fans might recall that Craig went to law school and seemingly took forever to pass the bar exam. However, he had no interest in practicing law and started his Sewing Down South business instead.

Getting a little bit shady himself, Whitner replied, “He would have done just fine in the PI world.” Though he got some reaction from the audience on that one, Austen agreed with him.

Salley Carson’s wildest dreams came true on the latest episode of Southern Charm. It seems she manifested that Austen Kroll and Audrey Pratt break up since the start of the season. And it finally happened during the cast trip to Whitner Slagsvol’s house.

Madison LeCroy spilled the beans to Salley poolside and she was “giddy.” Her reaction was, “it’s game on.” Other cast mates with less of a vested interest were a bit more sympathetic, as Austen seemed to be sad about it. Salley had to manage her feelings for the rest of the trip.

Audrey Pratt and Austen Kroll are no longer dating

Now, the cast is reacting in the Southern Charm After Show. Above all, Austen reflected on the matter. His break up from Audrey was off camera, so it’s to viewers benefit to get his thoughts.

“Prior to this trip, I broached the subject with Audrey. That I’ve been having some thoughts,” the Southern Charm veteran said during the After Show.

Apparently, the couple “never had a convo” like that during the course of their relationship. Austen continued, “So I kind of asked her, what is it that you want? She said, ‘I deserve someone who knows what they want. To like move in with them after a year and a half of dating.'” To Austen, that answer was “so totally fair.”

Despite it being a “huge decision,” perhaps Audrey gave him the out that he needed. Austen reflected on whether there would have been resentment had she moved to Charleston and it had not worked out.

“I think she did lose herself a little bit while dating me,” Austen admitted.

Meanwhile, Salley brought a different vibe to After Show. She gushed that all she remembered from the car ride to Whitner’s “is Austen being single.”

Molly O’Connell added, “You were like a dog in heat.”

She protested, “I feel bad when anybody break ups. But at the same time in this moment, I was being selfish and thingk about myself.”

Molly told her friend that “you don’t have to think about that.” She continued, “I love Audrey, she’s great. But you like Austen. They’re done now. I could see it all spiraling in your brain.”

Madison recalled telling Salley to “tone it down a little” during the cast trip as she seemingly couldn’t contain her excitement. It’s saying what viewers were thinking. Somehow, at the same time, Salley inserted herself into Charley Manley and Craig Conover’s budding romance.

It feels like Season 11 of Southern Charm just started. However, the reunion is reportedly underway. And there should be a ton to unpack from this season. Not only are Austen Kroll and Craig Conover arguing again, but their friendship could be at the point of no return.

Austen’s birthday dinner turned into a fiery disagreement between the frenemies, leaving Shep Rose to wonder if it really was the end of Craig and Austen’s bromance. I’m sure that reunion host Andy Cohen will get all the details when the group convenes to hash out their differences. So, who will be sitting next to Andy?

Andy Cohen has Craig Conover and Austen Kroll by his side

Bravo shared the Southern Charm Season 11 reunion seating chart via Instagram, and it was … interesting. Austen snagged the seat next to Andy on one side. Next to Austen on his couch is Salley Carson, followed by Shep and Molly O’Connell. And newbie Whitner Slagsvol is in the final seat.

On the other couch, Craig is seated next to Andy. Next up is Madison LeCroy and Venita Aspen. And finally, Charley Manley and Rodrigo Reyes are seated at the end. I understand why Salley is next to Austen, thanks to the love triangle this season.

Of course, some fans shared their thoughts in the Instagram comments. “Craig First Chair Conover,” one user wrote. Another posted, “Venita should have been next to Austin.” A third fan commented, “Surprised where Shep is sitting considering the show is about him, Craig and Austen.” Finally, a follower wrote, “Whit and Molly are way too far down.”

I am surprised that Venita didn’t snag a seat closer to Andy, but the season hasn’t finished airing. Who knows what is ahead for viewers? Meanwhile, the Southern Charmers had better be ready because Shep has been preparing for the reunion. “I prep all the time. If I think of something, I write it down,” Shep previously stated. “So, I’ve got paragraphs of things.”

Whitner Slagsvol is integrating into the Southern Charm group. A male addition to the cast is welcome, considering the rest of the boys simple bicker amongst themselves. And Whitner, so far, stays out of the drama. The lawyer even answers on Watch What Happen Live as diplomatically as possible.

His demeanor is a nice balance. And it’s interesting to get his perspective on the rest of the group. Host Andy Cohen asked him to choose between his female costars to answer a series of questions.

Salley Carson got some heat from Whitner Slagsvol on WWHL

Salley Carson was Whitner’s pick for several of the questions. Some of the less flattering ones too. While Molly O’Connell makes Whitner “laugh the most” and the co-star that he would “trust the most with a secret,” Salley was picked as the girl “most hungry for attention.”

Indeed, Salley has made some kind of impression after flirting with both Craig Conover and Austen Kroll. She even expressed her intent to hook up with the latter Southern Charm Star as soon as he was single again. The term “pick me girl” has come up.

Meanwhile, Molly was Whitner’s pick for the group’s girl’s girl. Certainly, Venita Aspen should have been considered for that role considering how much she put up with in her friendship with Salley. The professional influencer expressed her concern about Craig, only to have Salley disregard her feelings to pursue him.

One could give it Salley that she is “consistently the life of the party.” Whitner certainly did. However, he also chose the Medvac representative as the new gal that he “would be least surprised to learn cheated on a partner.”

Speaking of being a Medvac representative, Whitner didn’t give Salley any credit for her hard work. He replied, “none of them” when asked which of the ladies was “most ambitious and career-oreinted.” The Southern Charm newbie also couldn’t choose one that he found “most intimidating.”

Another chapter in the Craig Conover versus Austen Kroll feud just dropped. As fans know, these two Southern Charm pals couldn’t be any hotter and colder than they already are. But now that Austen is suggesting he’d be open to marrying Paige DeSorbo, Craig’s ex, well, further hell might soon break loose.

Austen Kroll appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen

Paige and Craig parted ways in 2024. They dated for three years, but once Paige realized that Craig wasn’t the one for her, she initiated their split. The rest is history, but on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Austen dragged Paige’s name right back into the chat.

While playing one of his many games, host Andy Cohen asked Austen to list three ways that Craig has changed for the better post-Paige. Comically, Austen passed on this question by drinking a long swig of his beer. Then, Andy asked Austen about the last time he hooked up with Lindsay Hubbard. Austen immediately started laughing.

He and Lindsay came close to hooking up at BravoCon. But they didn’t, and there have been no other times, Austen explained. Andy took a breather here to call out Austen’s “cute little mustache.” And then the wheel spun again, asking Austen another question about Craig, which he refused to answer.

But in his final spin, Austen had to sort Paige, Ciara Miller, and Amanda Batula into three categories: Marry, Shag, or Kill. This time, Austen played along. And his answer might DEFINITELY annoy Craig.

“I think I’m gonna marry Paige,” Austen breezily answered. Andy’s eyes grew large here. But as Austen explained, he had to shag Amanda, because “she’s newly single,” which makes her an eager “tomcat.” But then, he thankfully never muttered anything about killing Ciara before this segment wrapped.

Last time on Southern Charm, Austen’s birthday dinner turned into a blowout fight with Craig. The two hurled the most hurtful accusations and insults at each other, with Shep literally caught in the middle. At the end of the night, Austen told Craig he hated him. Before that, Venita told Madison that she missed her friendship with Salley. Craig and Charley went on a successful first date. But Salley realized she made a mistake going for Craig, now that she was left with those chickens. What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 this week?

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 10?

This week, the group heads to Whitner’s family farm. As one relationship ends, two new romantic connections appear to blossom. But Salley’s gossip about Craig makes Charley question her motives. And makes Craig more wary of Salley than ever. Here’s what else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 10, “Two Truths and a Single Lie.”

Everyone’s still in shock from Craig and Austen’s fight

Shep, Craig, and Austen are often able to bounce back from their fights, but this one was different. To Shep, it felt like a breakup. Whitney says the same. Austen leans on his cats, and Madison, for emotional support. Austen calling Madison first to be a supportive friend in an emotional crisis now … they’ve come so far! Craig doesn’t want to think about the fight, instead focusing on things that make him happy … like Charley. 

There is hope for one friendship in this group, as Salley and Molly meet up for a head massage/wash and blow-dry. Despite their fight weeks ago, Salley misses her friend. I get it, Molly is a gem. Molly is slightly skeptical that Salley just wants to make up because she has no one else amidst the drama with Charley and Venita. Speaking of, Salley blames Venita for her problems with Molly. For now, the two girls vow not to let anyone come between them again.

Whitner bring the cast home

After he didn’t appear on Southern Charm the past two weeks, this is a Whitner-central episode. The friend group goes to his family farm compound. We learn why his family farm is named Itchy Grass – it’s because he and his sisters thought the tall grass was itchy. And we learn that Jimmy Buffett was his uncle!

Madison is going with the group to Whitner’s, even at 34 weeks pregnant. She jokes that she might give birth there. Brett wisely doesn’t trust any of the group to deliver their baby. The rest of the friend group carpools in groups of three.

It’ll be the first time Craig and Austen see each other since the dinner, so everyone braces themselves for tension. Craig just hopes that Austen doesn’t “attack” him on the trip.

Is there already trouble in paradise for Craig and Charley?

While driving Molly and Charley, Salley tells Charley that she heard Craig is talking about her to the guys. He’s convinced she’ll fall in love with him, and he doesn’t want to break her heart. Molly’s facial reactions are priceless. In a confessional, Molly says, “I love her, but Salley is a jealous psycho.”

Charley can’t see Craig saying that, but Salley insists he’s the problem. As Molly pointed out weeks ago, Salley has taken on Venita’s role as Craig’s number one hater. And she’s doing to Charley what Venita did to her. 

Austen drops a breakup bombshell

Austen roasts Craig while in the car with Rod and Venita, but neither one of them believe Austen will ever cut Craig out for good. Rodrigo says it’s like Brokeback Mountain, that Austen wishes he could quit Craig.

But Austen did break up … with Audrey. For the first time, instead of waiting for a girl to break up with him, he made the move. Audrey was the perfect girlfriend, but he still felt like something was missing. Austen asks Venita and Rod to keep it quiet, to avoid Shep and Craig’s “told you so” moments.

Just then, as if she had an “Austen is single” spidey sense, Salley calls to fill them in on the Craig gossip. Charley already says she doesn’t believe it, that no one is falling in love and she’s “alone.” Austen jokes he’ll be alone with her. When Salley mentions his girlfriend, he murmurs “We’ll talk about that.” Realizing he might be single, Salley’s incredibly giddy. Rod jokes that Austen shouldn’t rush into a hand job with Salley. 

Salley has completely moved on from Craig to Austen

As the group meets up at the pool, Austen and Craig completely avoid each other. Salley asks Venita about Audrey, but Venita says her lips are sealed, because she values loyalty. Salley misses how close they were, but Venita’s reaction to Craig’s rejection still bothers her. Venita calls it a misunderstanding and insists she was never mad at Salley, only Craig. Salley admits she sees Craig for what he is now.

When Madison arrives, Salley gushes that Ausen looks “sexy as f*ck.” Madison says “too soon!” and confirms his split from Audrey. Madison has become his closest confidant, and seemingly one of the first people he told. 

Is Salley trying to come between Charley and Craig?

As they flirt by the pool, Charley tells Craig what Salley mentioned in the car. But she doesn’t believe it. Craig is predictably furious that people are gossiping and meddling in his personal life. He accuses Salley of being jealous, and Charley agrees. She wants to believe Salley told her this to be a protective friend, but … she doesn’t. She and Craig reaffirm their feelings for each other, with big smiles. 

Craig confronts Salley, who claims she heard it from Shep. At this point, it sounds to me like Shep mentioned the string of fears and questions about dating that Craig talked about at Austen’s dinner, but it got lost in translation as him being condescending towards Charley. Craig denies saying it, and asks why she doesn’t give him the benefit of the doubt. He tells Salley he can’t trust her anymore. He thinks she’s intentionally trying to come between him and Charley because she’s jealous. Salley walks away ranting about “all these MANCHILDREN!”

Salley still insists to Charley that Craig said it, and asks her, “Who do you believe?” Just then, Craig walks by, saying, “Keep talking about me, it’s fine.” “We’re not talking about you! Not everything is about you!” Salley fires back. We’ve come a long way from those late night hot tub parties.

Craig is more wary of Salley than ever

The guests head to their cabins (except Craig, who gets a fancy tent). Madison and Venita’s view is a little Friday the 13th’s Camp Crystal Lake … but at least there are some random knives in their cabin should Jason find them!

Rodrigo and Austen (who wears a silly hat to distract from his first pimple in years) have a more serene vista. In the second Brokeback Mountain reference of the episode, Austen calls it Brokeback Pond. He gets melancholy about Audrey, but also admits to a sense of relief. Rod loved Audrey and wanted it to work out, but he’s glad Austen cut it off instead of wasting more of Audrey’s time. 

Craig goes over to Shep’s barn loft, and tells him what Salley said. Shep denies saying that. Craig feels triggered because it’s a “misrepresentation” of who he is. Shep agrees that Craig isn’t a “big swinging dick” kind of guy who would say something like that. Shep says “no one is more respectful to females than Craig Conover,” which…are we sure? “He thinks white doves are gonna come out from the trees, like Cinderella!”

Regardless, the ordeal makes Craig turn against Salley even more. He calls her a “gossip,” and Shep agrees with him that she’s “an agent of chaos.”

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF SOUTHERN CHARM SEASON 11 EPISODE 10? DO YOU BELIEVE CRAIG OR SALLEY? WERE YOU SURPRISED AUSTEN BROKE UP WITH AUDREY?

After a lot of palpable chemistry between Craig Conover and Charley Manley, the duo went on a date. They trekked to an oyster farm on Season 11, Episode 9.

The Southern Charm duo shared their part in the planning of the date during the After Show. Charley had issues finalizing her look. Besides the logistics, the newbie Bravolebrity had to think about Salley Carson’s prior reaction to Craig’s behavior towards her.

The Southern Charm After Show gave more insight into the date

During the Southern Charm After Show, Craig explained why he chose the location. It turns out that it was a decision that took Charley’s comfort into account. When they were out in Charleston, she would “get nervous” about what the other cast ladies would say. Both Salley and Venita Aspen have issues with the Sewing Down South founder.

“I was like how fun will this be?” Craig said on the After Show. “Also, it will get us away from the people in Charleston — and by people, I mean our friends.”

Meanwhile, Charley gushed that the date was “seriously so fun.” She added, “”He knows how much I love oysters [and], like, thought that it would be cool to be able to see this process.”

Charley almost didn’t get her date look together on time. The Toteme rain boots she ordered hadn’t been delivered yet.

“Luckily, I know the route of my UPS driver,” she explained. “And, like, immediately, whenever I pull up, he knows. So, I was able to wear those boots. I wore little overalls. They were cute. It was hot.”

Charley scored the date “a nine out of 10” and enjoyed the hands-on experience. Meanwhile, Craig praised his co-star for handling “her own” in nature.

“We held a million oysters in our hand, like the babies,” he added. “Then, at the end, like, they had shucked us, like, a dozen oysters. And we sat up on this, like, deck on top of everything and looked out over the Lowcountry.”

Once again, Shannon Beador has been called out for her allegedly rude behavior. This time, it’s Rodrigo Reyes from Southern Charm putting the Real Housewives of Orange County star on blast. According to him, an interaction at last year’s BravoCon left a lot to be desired. Check out the confession below.

Rodrigo Reyes called out Shannon Beador’s BravoCon behavior

Rodrigo sat down with Andy Cohen and Chanel Ayan during the January 28 episode of Watch What Happens Live. The three of them were reflecting on BravoCon 2025 and the interactions they had with other Bravolebs. Chanel asked him to name his “least favorite” person at the event.

“Shannon Beador,” Rodrigo said without hesitation. “She was very rude and condescending.”

According to Rodrigo, the rude behavior all boiled down to an issue in one of the photo-op rooms at BravoCon. Apparently, she didn’t like her placement in the room, and Rodrigo’s fiancé, Tyler Dugas, overheard Shannon complaining about it.

Rodrigo explained, “She was like talking a lot of crap off to the side that Tyler heard her talking about Salley [Carson] and I having a better position in one of the fan rooms.”

He continued, “I’m like, ‘Well, honey, show up on time, and you won’t have to worry about that.’”

Yikes! So, it’s probably safe to say that Rodrigo and Shannon aren’t going to have dinner at The Quiet Woman anytime soon.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that Shannon had been called out like this. After filming Love Hotel in 2024, host Joel Kim Booster posted a lengthy rant about the RHOC star, calling her a “pathetic drunk” who treats people like they’re “subhuman.”

Joel eventually retracted his statement, likely under pressure from his NBC bosses. Rodrigo, on the other hand? He said it and meant it.

Southern Charm is currently airing on Bravo, Wednesdays at 9/8c. You can also stream it on Peacock, along with The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Last week on Southern Charm Season 11, Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement party was full of (other people’s) drama. Things were awkward between former BFFs Venita and Salley. Craig cleared the air with Salley so Charley would feel less guilty about their date. He also declared Austen his enemy. Meanwhile, Austen flirted with Salley right in front of his poor girlfriend Audrey. The episode ended with Austen and Audrey fighting.

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 9?

This week on Southern Charm Season 11, it’s Austen’s 38th birthday, and he talks about his future with his mom. Venita hopes she can repair her friendship with Salley. Molly (who still has her infamous weave from America’s Next Top Model stashed away) prepares to sing live again. And Charley goes on her first date with Craig. Austen’s birthday dinner leads to another explosive fight between him and Craig. Here’s what else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 9, “Best Frenemies Forever.”

Venita wants her friend back

Last time, Venita’s mom scolded her for not being there for Salley. This week, Venita tells Madison how much she misses their friendship. Madison takes on the mom role and encourages both the girls to get over it and make up. “These girls are being childish,” she says, “they need to realize that the only relationship that’s gonna work is the friendship between the two of them.” She encourages Venita to talk to Salley.

Craig and Shep or Laverne and Shirley?

This week, Shep and Craig continue living together, which the show edits like a sitcom (laugh track and all). When they go to see Shep’s “big boy house,” the guys gossip about Austen and Audrey. They think he creates a minefield of problems for himself (Rodrigo compares it to Sideshow Bob and the rakes). Craig says Austen should follow the mindset of “everything is your fault,” something he saw a few years ago. Craig, in what world do you follow that mindset? Hearing CRAIG and SHEP talk about taking accountability and not blaming others for your problems is WILD.

Austen’s emotional sit down with his mom

Ahead of his birthday, Austen goes to his parents’ and shows his tribute tattoo to Kyle. His mom believes if Kyle survived, she’d be married with kids and advising Austen. This leads Austen to open up about his relationship, as he once again admits it’s at a crossroads.

After Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement party, Audrey pointed out he always says “I” instead of “we” when talking about the future. His mom reminds him that when most people commit, they aren’t 100% sure at first if it’s the right person. Austen doesn’t know what’s wrong with him, since Audrey is a perfect partner. I guess his fear of commitment is that intense? He also isn’t sure he wants to have kids. But his mom tearfully tells him that having kids was the best thing she ever did.

Salley wants kids, not chickens

Austen’s current love interest Salley can’t wait to have kids. She jokes about stealing her sister’s baby and volunteers to watch the infant during the late night shift. However, Salley’s not feeling any maternal instinct towards the chickens. She wants to return them or drop them off with Craig (he named them, after all!). While Salley doesn’t like to live in regret (except for buying those chickens), she admits pursuing Craig was a mistake.

Craig and Charley’s first date

Meanwhile, Craig and Charley go on their oyster farm date. It’s the first time he’s been on a date without hooking up with the person ahead of time. As they eat oysters, he asks Charley about her ex. She says they were together for three and a half years, but he didn’t want to commit, despite talking about the future. Craig relates. Charley also admits she can be codependent, which we’ve seen in her dynamic with Salley. She and Craig flirt a lot, and they have chemistry. She asks him out again and he says yes.

The core four celebrate Austen’s birthday

Whitney throws a birthday dinner for Austen with fellow “OGs” Craig and Shep, but he’s worried about the guy’s drama. According to Shep, Austen is tired of being under Craig’s thumb. “Craig can be a bully,” Whitney says, but “Austen holds grudges … so it just becomes this circle jerk of stupidity and acrimony that keeps festering.” That’s one way to put it! (Side note: did everyone watch the Heated Rivalry edits of Craig and Austen on social media?) Jack, who is basically Craig’s non-ChatGPT therapist, advises him to go.

Finally, we’ve reached the dinner teased in Season 11’s premiere. Craig gifts Austen a very nice bowtie, so Austen jokes that he’s “frenemy number one.” Austen remembers that, the first time they met, Craig asked if he wanted to become best friends just to piss Shep off.

Shep is happy Austen and Craig are getting along, wishing it could be like this all the time. Craig makes a preposition proposition that everyone stay positive and have fun. However, Austen wants Craig to answer for some things.

Austen asks about the date with Charley. Whitney asks “Did you consummate” … and I really didn’t need to hear Whitney say “consummate.” Craig asks a whole bunch of weird questions about dating and worries about leading Charley on. The guys advise him to go on the second date and stop overthinking so much.

When it’s birthday boy’s turn to make a toast, he says, “It’s good to have your friends together, but keep your enemies closer.” Craig asks if they’re enemies, so Austen reminds him he said as much to Salley. In turn, Craig accuses Austen of rooting for his downfall. And we’re off on Austen versus Craig, round 500.

Austen’s birthday dinner from hell

First, Austen brings up Craig’s drinking. Remember when Craig opened up to Austen about his drinking problem in the Bahamas? Now that Craig’s at the bars again, Austen thinks that was just a manipulation tactic. Austen emphatically insists Craig’s drinking doesn’t bother him, but thinks Craig made up a problem to avoid accountability. Austen even puts “addiction” in air quotes! Craig is flabbergasted Austen “made my drinking problem about him.” Shep tells Austen this is wrongheaded, and I have to agree.

Craig fires back with another low blow. He trashes Austen for being in the same place he was five years ago. Austen is hurt, admitting his beer company isn’t where he wants it to be. Shep pleads with them to stop, but Austen says Craig’s been a “prick” for three years.

Eventually, they break the fourth wall. Craig accuses Austen of trashing Audrey before filming, and says he’s a completely different person on camera. Austen thinks that’s rich coming from Craig, “the liar of all liars.”

When Craig complains that Austen hates him, he fires back, “Yes, I do f*cking hate you!” Whitney tells Austen to apologize, but he refuses. Craig claims he, Shep, and Whitney never screamed that they hate each other. Craig and Austen’s friendship is declared over (for the 50th time this season), and the guys agree not to order dessert.

We end with the Southern Charm midseason trailer, which shows Austen and Salley crossing lines, Venita and Craig confronting each other, and, of course, another blowout Craig and Austen fight. We’ll have to keep watching to see it all!

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

Season 11 of Southern Charm has turned up the heat. And it looks like there is plenty more to come in the second half of the season. In fact, the drama between frenemies Austen Kroll and Craig Conover is about to boil over.

Plus, the fallout from Craig’s hot tub love triangle with Salley Carson and Charley Manley continues to affect the group. The way that Craig shot down Salley was super awkward. Then he asked her bestie, Charley, on a date. Welp, the Southern Charm Season 11 mid-season trailer just dropped, and it is wild.

Austen Kroll makes out with a co-star in the Southern Charm midseason trailer

Since Craig is not interested, Salley moved on to Austen. “Are you going to ever have sex with me?” Salley asked Austen. You could have knocked him over with a feather. The camera showed clips of Austen and Salley making out in a car and in a bar in Mexico.

“What happens in Mexico does not stay in Mexico,” Craig quipped. Meanwhile, Austen’s ex-girlfriend, Madison LeCroy, was shocked since Austen was dating Audrey Pratt. “What the f*ck is he doing?” she asked.

Meanwhile, Charley and Salley’s friendship erupted as Salley yelled, “You didn’t tell me!” Then a frustrated Charley exclaimed, “I tried to set boundaries!” Of course, this spat was about Craig.

After Craig yelled, “F*ck you, Salley,” Shep Rose stated, “Craig is crazy.” Later, Shep said, “If Charley doesn’t see the writing on the wall …,” before Molly O’Connell added, “There is no more we can do.”

Meanwhile, Venita Aspen confronted Craig. Venita’s feelings about Craig resulted in issues with her friendship with Salley. And finally, Craig and Austen had an explosive argument.

“You don’t take accountability,” Austen screamed. When Craig replied, “That’s not true,” Austen rolled on. “You are a lost soul. You want to be anybody but yourself, and it’s obvious,” he told Craig. Yikes!
