CHARLESTON, S.C.-BASED REALITY TV SHOW RAMPS UP BUZZ FOR SECOND SEASON

|| By FITSNEWS || New York-based Bravo TV has released a trailer for the second season of its reality television show Southern Charm – set in the historic city of Charleston, S.C. and starring Thomas Ravenel, one of the Palmetto State’s most um, colorful personalities.

The show – which features Ravenel’s disastrous 2014 U.S. Senate campaign as one of its main story lines – will air its first new episode on March 16 at 10:00 p.m.

Will Ravenel be watching?  It’s not clear … he recently weighed in less-than-favorably on the program (saying it was “full of lies and deceit” and that “any fool who watches it is an idiot”), but the former State Treasurer has frequently revisited such bold declarations.

For example he initially said he would not participate in a second season of the program, but later changed his mind.

Ravenel’s on-again, off-again girlfriend (and “baby momma”) – Kathryn Dennis – will also star in the second season.  In fact the 22-year-old redhead bombshell has been billed as a top cast member this go-round.

Southern Charm‘s first season averaged 1.3 million viewers an episode.  Its season finale – which aired on April 24 of last year – pulled in an impressive 1.6 million viewers.

Our founding editor Will Folks – who had a cameo appearance in the show’s first season – said the program was enjoyable mindless entertainment.

“Obviously it’s a train wreck – and its star is perpetually on the verge of a Randy Quaid-style meltdown,” Folks said. “But who isn’t gonna watch that? I mean come on.”

Other media outlets agree …

“We love to hate it, but we cannot wait,” The Charleston City Paper, a frequent critic of the show, noted in anticipation of the second season premiere.

So … what are viewers in store for?

Sweet Lord in heaven …

And while we’re invoking the Almighty, let’s just be glad no infants were harmed in the making of this show.

How did they get that two camera crane shot of the chick running on the bridge? It had to be a set up.

It wasn’t. Its from an event on the Yorktown, that’s the causeway to the ship as they left. The camera was on the ship.

There were a ton of cameras. None were on a crane or UAV or anything crazy and it wasn’t set up.

Speaking of trainwrecks, get Andre Bauer on film and you’ll have an equally as entertaining show.

Yes! If they throw in appearances by: Andre, Bobby Harrell, Ken Ard, as corrupt politicians flying drugs into Charleston,
a few appearances by Eckstrom and Kelly Payne as the crazy on again off again swingers next door,

Bob and Donna Peeler as the home wreckers sleeping around with all the neighbors and cast,

James Metts as the Sheriff, who is providing protection to the illegal Aliens and local Charleston Mafia Ring,
Haley as the unethical Governor, promoting herself and friends for greater political favors and campaign fund/slush fund money.
The show would more believable and seem less staged.

If they wanted a television show, they should have hung around Lexington County a few years ago… between Knotts, Metts, Frazier and the rest of the Lexington Mafia trying to act like they’re in their 20’s again with prostitutes that might be worthy of the comedy aspect.

I think Lexington County should start their own reality show with this bunch. South Carolina could have two embarrassments on the boob tube:
Southern Charm in Charleston
Southern Shit in Lexington

No. Myrtle Manor finally got the go-ahead for a 3rd Season. Just about the time people thought it was down for the count. The producers are hoping to spin it off into other “Trailer Park” shows from different locations. So they waited until there was a huge amount of messages to TLC from fans before they green-lighted the 3rd season. Production wrapped about 6 weeks ago, and the premier is later this month.

Party Down South, the truly shit show that made both Southern Charm and Myrtle Manor look like Emmy material, had only one season (filmed in Murrells Inlet, where the producer, cast and crew managed to piss off everybody — even the venue owners who’d agreed to have them film in their joints.) That may be the cancelled show you’re thinking of.

Myrtle Manor is hated by Brad Dean, head of the MB Area Chamber of Commerce. But it has good support from City Hall, and from a great many business leaders. It has proven to be a tourist draw. One study has said that it draws “upscale” tourists just as much as those more “downscale.” Another study is being done by CCU on its overall impact on the local economy.

If you bet you’ll lose your bottom dollar.

I watched the first season of “Survivor” and have not watch reality tv since, there is nothing real about it.

Do men really think she is a bombshell?
The couple of times I tuned in last season she looked more like a bomb-shelter to me . . .

Bomb-shelter! That’s quality right there! You’re right…she reminds me of the Lindsey Lohan chic at 2:00 AM with mascara running down her face and puke on her shoes. She just makes up well…

If you like fat chicks.

That chick has a baby and THEN gained 30 pounds. And she’s only 22…its all down hill from here

Bombshell is the only adjective meaning attractive woman in Will’s limited vocabulary. Seriously, he uses it all the time and often inappropriately.

I’m thinking vixen, femme fatale, or fire crotch would be more suitable.

I have to say I did not think she was attractive last year. She put on way more than 30 pounds with the baby. However., she looked very attractive at the christening. And that baby is beautiful. Obvious that Rav is not in love with her. She just wanted to marry a rich guy. We all know how that turns out. Bombshell. ????

Since when has Kathryn Dennis ever been a “bombshell”? A chain smoking, 22 going on 52 hag is more accurate.

Even with professional makeup artists working for an hour on her she’s barely above average… then morning comes around and she’s back to pure inbred homely.
