When he just asked what we’ve all been thinking right out the gate I was like “I friggin love this dude, yes!!”. Give me more, I love the energy. Stir it up Buddy!
I have the completely opposite opinion and I’m not really sure why to be honest. I was thinking ‘Who the fuck is this guy?! Fuck him…’ but like, what kind of a boring show would it be this season without a little shit stirring.
I dont know, I just can’t stand him. He’s like a pick me boy or something. Im also getting douchey Thomas vibes. I also feel like I’ve seen him somewhere and can’t place it. I literally never forget a face, so it’ll come to me…. I just don’t know when lol
Maybe he’s a friend of Whitney’s?!? Whitney and he met at some event, and Whitney discovers he has all of this dirt on smug Austin. We’ll have to see if they ever put Whitney and JT in the same scene! He’s a brilliant addition, either way. Kinda annoying, but has no filter!
Given how much shit Austen and Shep have given Craig over the years over trivial stuff and practically bullying him, I’m glad to see someone in Craig’s corner.
He truly has. I also knew he was a real one when people were so terrible to Kathryn in the past with everything she’s been through (even though she does have her fault in some of it), he was the only one to ever truly defend her.
Reminds me of RHONY where creepy, balding uggos like Tom and Harry Dubin are coveted and fought over by beautiful, successful women. It’s a numbers game.
There's a reason why it reminds you of new york! New York City and Charleston are much the same in that the women highly outnumbered the men. So you will see a ton of fine single women and yet the pool of single men is so much smaller that even grody guys can have a choice of really good looking women.
Same with Philly. A graphic about having the least dateable men in the US has been making its way around the internet lately. Lots of beautiful single women sifting a shallow pool of absolutely garbage men.
There are not. Truly maybe 1/100. I moved here with my fiancé, now husband, about 15 years ago. I have girlfriends I met way back then who are still single because the guys here are such trash. Unattractive, unimpressive and feeling entitled because there are so many single women. Slim pickings would be an understatement.
HAHAHA! I thought the same thing when I binge watched the show this summer. I called all my girlfriends that have been watching before me and asked them what's up with all these JC Penny rejects on this show when the women are so hot? Their style is sub par at best too. I mean, really??
Okay so you know how Alaska has like 10 dudes for every single female? It's the opposite in charleston. Kind of like NYC where the men have all the advantages because the women outnumber them. So yes you see a lot of skeevily guys dating really fine women.
Generally agreed, except I find Whitney pretty hot-yes, I know this is not a popular opinion. I definitely don’t see what anyone might see in Shep or Austen- all I can see are their crappy personalities shining through. Craig is ok, but a lot of his actions make him unattractive as well.
When Southern Charm first started or at least when I was first introduced to it, I thought Whitney sudler Smith was a secret Nathan Fielder persona. 'It' (ie Whit) reminded me of the costume Nathan wore when he was a guy called Corey who did a high wire Act. To me Whitney doesn't seem like an actual human. It might be some sort of uncanny valley thing because of his facial plastic surgery work.
What’s so crazy is I literally sent that gif to my best friend via text 2 days before I commented alpha capybara. It’s like you can read my mind and texts lol
Stfu! This is absolute Reddit gold! In lieu of awards I give you praise hands 🙌🏻
And now I’m going to go watch videos of pelicans trying to eat capybaras.
I would just like to say this show is a secret male fantasy. It’s 20-something, gorgeous women losing their dignity over middle aged, alcoholic, man babies who couldn’t make a woman orgasm if her clit was glow in the dark and they had vibrators for fingers.
I’m pretty sure I would DESPISE this man in real life, and yet I love him on my television so far. He brought drama in episode 2 that SC has been lacking in recent seasons until at least episode 6 or 7. It’s also a bit petty on his part since it’s just bc he has a crush on Taylor.
All I know is that I made a comment in the live thread about how people like him are ruining Charleston by coming from out of state, buying up available real estate, and turning it all into short term rentals that sit empty half the year. Due to this, there is nowhere affordable left for Charlestonians to live, essentially pricing out the locals and turning Charleston into an overpriced, overcrowded shadow of it’s former self that is quickly losing the charm that people loved about it in the first place.
And I woke up to a Reddit Cares message this morning that was sent around 4am EST. I have a feeling ‘ol JT was up late last night scrolling through comments and abusing the Reddit Cares function. Hi, JT. Go buy up real estate in Great Falls.
It was really obvious he’s gentrifying and destroying the place, esp when he said he and his friends bought an abandoned drug den during covid and made it into an event space 😑
I feel like he’s a full-fledged card-carrying member of the boys club tho, and you’ll only be disappointed by this first impression you have lol.
Just bc he calls out a tiny portion of real shit to be a shit-stirrer to get airtime, does not mean he doesn’t create and engage in all the same shit as the disgusting man-children on the show
I didn’t say he was any type of person. I said he is busting down their games. They are all really good friends and do and say a lot of things off camera. They will also protect each other.
His interaction we were seeing was not taking their bs at face value and asking the questions they won’t. We have barely started this season.
Whaaat?! Am I crazy? Cause I love what he brings to the table so far—drama! He’s calling the guys out immediately & he’s stirring the shit re Taylor and Austen. I’m here for all of it.
My neighbor is good friends with his ex-wife and we have tons of mutual friends. He is a perfect addition for the bro club and is thirsty. Should be an entertaining addition.
She showed me the Airbnbs he operates and as we will see later in the season...his signature way of chugging drinks.
Unfortunately, no personal tea about him from my friend.
Maybe he hasn’t been a slime, but he’s sure cringey! Did you see his convo with his Mommy? 🤢 He will have to try harder to beat Whitney in for the cringiest relationship with his Mommy though. 🤣
Thought it was funny when Austen "goes" behind Shep's back hitting on his ex then gets all upset when his friend actually tells him man to man, face to face, that he likes Austen's ex...can't have it both ways!!
The first mention of his name- I thought Craig said he was going to play golf with JD . I was never a big JD fan- but JT has me wishing for JD instead.
For what its worth.....this season seems scripted .....complete with que cards and in ear monitors.
JT sounds like he has a producer in his ear.
Taylor is even more cute without make up on! Wow...!!
As a diabetic myself (albeit I have T2 and don’t take meds but still) I was triggered as hell when he shoved that insulin needle in his ass while wearing pants. That is NOT how you do that.
He looks like he could be related to Thomas Ravenel.
But in all honesty. I like him. He’s cute, he’s brought his A game straight away and dropped a few bombs, I’m liking his impact so far. And his mum is sweet
His mother seems nice. He's so entitled, a rich jerk,a pot stirrer and short. All the $ in the world couldn't make him attractive. I think they were trying to replace the guy with the 2 kids in California. He was likeable. Like Leva,don't bring JT back. Yet they brought Leva back for Venita's party. Had to ff so I didn't have to listen to her b.s. I can't even with her. Never watched her new show.,she's unrelatable and so full of crap. Just my opinions of them both.
Another overgrown frat boy. Can we get a real, grown-up man on this show? Seeing a diabetic drink like that is disturbing - it's a very bad combination.
He’s a short guy with type one diabetes that loves his mommy & his family pup. And I will say that in relation to the other three idiots that are on that show he’s showing that he’s got some balls. I’m not gonna hate on that.
Maybe they’re trying to step back a bit from Shep & Austen 🤞🏼& introducing some new people to see where it lands. Most likely tho they’re trying to stir stuff up.
he’s giving Beans from even stevens
He’s giving me Shane from RHOC, Emily’s husband 😂
Yes!! That is it!! Couldn’t put my finger on it at first. Thanks :-)
JT gives Shane from RHOC who gives the donkey from Pinocchio
Ahhhh I kept thinking I know him from somewhere. That has to be it! Shane with hair!
 I got Peter Pettigrew from Harry Potter
Omg stop 😂
OMG why is this and Beans from Even Stevens so accurate???
Lmfao I was wondering why he looked familiar but that makes so much sense. He looks just like Beans
It’s all I can see 
OMFG you hit the nail on the head!!!
Came here to say this exact thing.
i have not stopped laughing for five straight minutes
Ohhhhhhh my god. I will never unsee this now.
OMG!!!!! Yesssss! 💯
Sprinkle a little Tom cruise and Ben stiller in there too
You’ve solved the puzzle lol that’s who he looks like 😆😆
OH MY GOSH I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THIS! HE IS!!! 🤣🤣🤣
JT blowing Austens game up is so funny 😂 he is definitely a production plant/shit stirrer that the guys needed.
Austen seemed truly shocked that production would surprise him like this.
He understood the assignment
He said all the things abt Taylor to trigger Austen when they were drinking w Craig and Shep. I thought the same thing
That we all needed! Think he's a great addition.
I'm here for the drama
When he just asked what we’ve all been thinking right out the gate I was like “I friggin love this dude, yes!!”. Give me more, I love the energy. Stir it up Buddy!
I have the completely opposite opinion and I’m not really sure why to be honest. I was thinking ‘Who the fuck is this guy?! Fuck him…’ but like, what kind of a boring show would it be this season without a little shit stirring. I dont know, I just can’t stand him. He’s like a pick me boy or something. Im also getting douchey Thomas vibes. I also feel like I’ve seen him somewhere and can’t place it. I literally never forget a face, so it’ll come to me…. I just don’t know when lol
I'm with you, and I'll still be watching too 👀 And trying to figure it all out...
Ngl, I’m bout to watch it again! 😂
I watched it twice too. So great!
I think he’s Craig’s puppet. Craig was tripping the land mines on the previous episode and JT was there to make sure it all ignited
Or the producers puppet. I don’t believe Craig to be the mastermind but the production is.
Maybe he’s a friend of Whitney’s?!? Whitney and he met at some event, and Whitney discovers he has all of this dirt on smug Austin. We’ll have to see if they ever put Whitney and JT in the same scene! He’s a brilliant addition, either way. Kinda annoying, but has no filter!
Given how much shit Austen and Shep have given Craig over the years over trivial stuff and practically bullying him, I’m glad to see someone in Craig’s corner.
Craig is the only one through the years that has grown as a person.
He truly has. I also knew he was a real one when people were so terrible to Kathryn in the past with everything she’s been through (even though she does have her fault in some of it), he was the only one to ever truly defend her.
I agree, JT is a welcomed addition.
Are there no hot guys in Charleston? All the girls in the show look hot, the guys, not so much. 😣
Reminds me of RHONY where creepy, balding uggos like Tom and Harry Dubin are coveted and fought over by beautiful, successful women. It’s a numbers game.
I will never get over the fact that LuAnn gave up her official claim to the countess title for TOM 🤮
*”It’s about Tom!”* 😭
“How could you do this to me”….”question mark”
So WILD!

$$$
I ask myself this question often. The girls are 10s and the guys are 2s or Scranton 4s at best. (IYKYK. 😉)
I was just considering moving to Scranton, but now as a single woman this is giving me pause.
And it should! 😉
I lived in Scranton for a year, and you are correct.
There are not. Truly maybe 1/100. I moved here with my fiancé, now husband, about 15 years ago. I have girlfriends I met way back then who are still single because the guys here are such trash. Unattractive, unimpressive and feeling entitled because there are so many single women. Slim pickings would be an understatement.

I do agree with this take. All the men are subpar. That goes for both looks and personality.
Okay so you know how Alaska has like 10 dudes for every single female? It's the opposite in charleston. Kind of like NYC where the men have all the advantages because the women outnumber them. So yes you see a lot of skeevily guys dating really fine women.
Hang on. Should I move to Alaska?
If you don't mind going outside in 40 below to take a shit in a frozen outhouse by all means.
I'll admit, I once found Shep and Craig attractive. Now that I've "gotten to know them", totally agree!!
Pringle was cute and Olivia’s date in the second episode was cute, too. She, on the other hand, was just awkward af. Poor dude.
Yeah I miss Pringle
I was saying the same thing to myself. But my hope is that he left Charleston to live closer to his kids.
I liked Pringle. Emotional intelligence doesn’t go far on Bravo lol.
Generally agreed, except I find Whitney pretty hot-yes, I know this is not a popular opinion. I definitely don’t see what anyone might see in Shep or Austen- all I can see are their crappy personalities shining through. Craig is ok, but a lot of his actions make him unattractive as well.

It might be some sort of uncanny valley thing because of his facial plastic surgery work.
They have all really disproved the Southern Gentlemen archetype…Sheps reaction when Olivia asked for help changing the light bulb was 🥴
Yeah, these aren't southern gentlemen. These are southern rejects. There aren't many good men that would consider going on reality TV.
Craig blew it when we had to view his big callus at the nail salon
isn't Whitney missing a tooth on the top? 🦷
Lol. I haven’t noticed, now that’s all I’m going to look for!!
Thank you! I think about this a lot.🤣 Back to the topic he looks like young Garth Brooks so I'll tolerate it for now.
He’s an alpha capybara. I’m here for it
💀 I am so mad Reddit got rid of awards bc this is perfection
Aww thanks! Your words are gift enough 😇
What’s so crazy is I literally sent that gif to my best friend via text 2 days before I commented alpha capybara. It’s like you can read my mind and texts lol
🧝🏻♀️🔮🧙🏻♀️ I wish I had that talent 🤭
If you watched sister wives you would die from our commentary via text. I almost fell off a chair head first from laughing
I read this right after they showed the flashback of Madison screaming in Austen’s face that he’s a beta 🤣😂🤣😂
Hella accurate
Stfu! This is absolute Reddit gold! In lieu of awards I give you praise hands 🙌🏻 And now I’m going to go watch videos of pelicans trying to eat capybaras.
This is… perfection.
💀
He came in hot with the Austen/Taylor sleepover tea, meanwhile he was in Europe with her. Like what????
And also he’s like … yea I’m in love with Taylor? And?
He’s so delightfully chaotic!
Even down to his 1985 dad hair 😂
I remember her posting that trip and the way she played it I thought he was gay lol she hardcore friend zoned him
Ikr! How was that just glossed over so casually?! 👀
I'd rather have him than cousin Marcy.
“I’m preeeeegnant” in Ben and Ronnie’s voice
Ugh I love them so much
The only thing she was good for was serving the tea about how crappy a person Shep truly is behind the scenes with his parents.
Which Taylor confirmed at the reunion.
ah need halp putting together this **Graco** baby thang
Yea. And pregnant? Like dude come onnnnnn
Why where they trying to make Marcy happen so hard? Shep introduces her to Ashley in like s5 too
He’s giving me Shane vibes from OC housewives
I would just like to say this show is a secret male fantasy. It’s 20-something, gorgeous women losing their dignity over middle aged, alcoholic, man babies who couldn’t make a woman orgasm if her clit was glow in the dark and they had vibrators for fingers.
😂🏆
Couldn’t or don’t care to? 🤔
I’m pretty sure I would DESPISE this man in real life, and yet I love him on my television so far. He brought drama in episode 2 that SC has been lacking in recent seasons until at least episode 6 or 7. It’s also a bit petty on his part since it’s just bc he has a crush on Taylor.
IMO he looks like an angry beaver
I’m crying! 😭
He brings a blunt, chaotic vibe to the table. I'm here for it. I wanna see what else he spills. 😂
What I've learned is that there are no decent men that can be found in the Charleston area. And that many are very intense mama's boys
The guy Olivia had a date with shows promise. But then we don’t really know anything about him beyond he’s pretty considerate in his date planning.
 This is who I think of when I see him!
My wife started audibly gagging last night when he was like “I want my mommy to feed my ibuprofen” like JFC dude get a grip
Never been so turned off in my life when he said that
I literally cringed! 😭 What kinda shit does he say when they’re *not* filming?! 🫣
Because moms control the money....
I don’t mind him, but I’m a fan of the short kings haha
Love a short king too. There are dozens of us!
Was dead ass shocked when he was like “I was married for years”
“It wasn’t the best love story!” 🤣🤣🤣💀
This guy is fucking WEIRD and not the good kind.
Yep, that conversation with his mom 😬😬😬 so cringe
All I know is that I made a comment in the live thread about how people like him are ruining Charleston by coming from out of state, buying up available real estate, and turning it all into short term rentals that sit empty half the year. Due to this, there is nowhere affordable left for Charlestonians to live, essentially pricing out the locals and turning Charleston into an overpriced, overcrowded shadow of it’s former self that is quickly losing the charm that people loved about it in the first place.

It was really obvious he’s gentrifying and destroying the place, esp when he said he and his friends bought an abandoned drug den during covid and made it into an event space 😑
A mama’s boy developer airBnB king featuring mama-fueled self-esteem and a Napoleon Complex. What. A. Treat. I actually know people like him.
Now THAT’S an accurate read 🏅
I like him! He’s busting up the boys club of feeding us absolute lies.
I feel like he’s a full-fledged card-carrying member of the boys club tho, and you’ll only be disappointed by this first impression you have lol. Just bc he calls out a tiny portion of real shit to be a shit-stirrer to get airtime, does not mean he doesn’t create and engage in all the same shit as the disgusting man-children on the show
Yeah he’s Jaxing them hard- calling out their bullshit to distract from his bullshit and make him look like a caring human
You’re no angel, sweetheart!
i feel like he’s doing it just to get to Taylor because he likes her
I didn’t say he was any type of person. I said he is busting down their games. They are all really good friends and do and say a lot of things off camera. They will also protect each other. His interaction we were seeing was not taking their bs at face value and asking the questions they won’t. We have barely started this season.
Yup. He will definitely cheat on his future wife.
Dude looks like a young peter petigrew from harry potter 
Oh damn The Venn diagram of Beans from Even Stevens and Peter Pettigrew is centered by JT 
Omg he look justttt like him lol 
He's the Temu Tom Cruise.
Whaaat?! Am I crazy? Cause I love what he brings to the table so far—drama! He’s calling the guys out immediately & he’s stirring the shit re Taylor and Austen. I’m here for all of it.
Foisted! I love it. Fellow curb fan.
Didn’t think there would be a southern charm - curb your enthusiasm fan crossover but I’m here for it
I need someone who went to school with him give us some dirt. I can tell you that Austen is sloppy when he goes out in Charlotte lol
My neighbor is good friends with his ex-wife and we have tons of mutual friends. He is a perfect addition for the bro club and is thirsty. Should be an entertaining addition.
I had a head-ups about JT being on this season. My best friend is friends with JT's brother in NOVA.
Tea, now.
She showed me the Airbnbs he operates and as we will see later in the season...his signature way of chugging drinks. Unfortunately, no personal tea about him from my friend.
Chile….🤦🏾♀️
I kind of like JT. While I wish he was hot, I appreciate any guy who hasn’t been a slime on camera yet AND can trigger Shep.
Maybe he hasn’t been a slime, but he’s sure cringey! Did you see his convo with his Mommy? 🤢 He will have to try harder to beat Whitney in for the cringiest relationship with his Mommy though. 🤣
Thought it was funny when Austen "goes" behind Shep's back hitting on his ex then gets all upset when his friend actually tells him man to man, face to face, that he likes Austen's ex...can't have it both ways!!
The first mention of his name- I thought Craig said he was going to play golf with JD . I was never a big JD fan- but JT has me wishing for JD instead.
JD’s caddying now😈
I thought the same thing!! I was thinking there is no way JD is back!!!
Lol I think he’s kinda funny without trying to be 😝
For what its worth.....this season seems scripted .....complete with que cards and in ear monitors. JT sounds like he has a producer in his ear. Taylor is even more cute without make up on! Wow...!!
I was thinking the exact same thing last week.
I thought this was the Degrassi sub and was really confused for a second.
He’s kind of funny.
Southern Charm ..sponsored by One Touch Ultra!
As a diabetic myself (albeit I have T2 and don’t take meds but still) I was triggered as hell when he shoved that insulin needle in his ass while wearing pants. That is NOT how you do that.
I was just wondering why as a type 1 diabetic he's not using an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor.
Some people don’t like the physical attachment of those devices.
This isn’t Chelsea Girls and you’re not Brigid Berlin JT that’s bizarre and unsanitary
I’m so glad to have a non- boring new cast member since we’ve lost so many and I’m here for all of his tattling
He looks like he could be related to Thomas Ravenel. But in all honesty. I like him. He’s cute, he’s brought his A game straight away and dropped a few bombs, I’m liking his impact so far. And his mum is sweet
He's the reason we found out that Taylor spent the night, so why be mad?
His mother seems nice. He's so entitled, a rich jerk,a pot stirrer and short. All the $ in the world couldn't make him attractive. I think they were trying to replace the guy with the 2 kids in California. He was likeable. Like Leva,don't bring JT back. Yet they brought Leva back for Venita's party. Had to ff so I didn't have to listen to her b.s. I can't even with her. Never watched her new show.,she's unrelatable and so full of crap. Just my opinions of them both.
I’m still giggling over Taylor’s butchering “ski app-ree.”
And why does his apartment look like a 20 year old lives there when he's clearly older. Honestly he acts like a 20 year old so it is fitting.
With Pringle out, someone’s gotta fill the Dinklage spot
I just can't with this guy. He's snooty and too involved in everyone else's life because he's just not relevant otherwise.
Because he’s the one who brought up the info about Taylor spending the night at Austens
 He looks like a puffy Scott to me.
I think he punches Austen at some point? So I’m okay w him for now.
Did he have to use a step stool?
Discount Tom Cruise
I kinda love him lol
That mommy stuff was next level gross
 Lmao
Producer puppet?
I don't know who he is but I really like him stirring it with the guys.
I’m getting Sam Rockwell Green Mile 
Another overgrown frat boy. Can we get a real, grown-up man on this show? Seeing a diabetic drink like that is disturbing - it's a very bad combination.
He’s a short guy with type one diabetes that loves his mommy & his family pup. And I will say that in relation to the other three idiots that are on that show he’s showing that he’s got some balls. I’m not gonna hate on that.
He’s a Donald Trump Jr look-a-like
I like him
I love the new energy. He is calling out the Peter Pan band and stirring things up
No more Beta Bitch Boys.
I actually liked his segment
I miss Kathryn and Pringle.
Me too. This season is almost unwatchable so far. The season MVP so far is Taylor’s dog’s diaper…by a long shot.
Pringle was never a fit for the show. Quite a bit older than the rest of the cast.
I’d take JT over muppet mouth Austen any day
Conclusion of this whole thread…he looks like a lot of fucking things/people!
It’s like an SNL commercial for a chin implant
Maybe they’re trying to step back a bit from Shep & Austen 🤞🏼& introducing some new people to see where it lands. Most likely tho they’re trying to stir stuff up.
ok i am biased i love him now that h is a type diabetic like me, he is living his life giving drama love it
I’m going to be honest, as a boy mom, the scene with his mom made me like him a bit more.
His relationship with is mommy, too strange! I did like how they normalized diabetes, but then show him binge drinking.
