Salley Carson has been pursuing Craig Conover rather fervently. The Southern Charm star is also vocal about it and her Season 11 co-stars are well aware of her intentions with both Craig and Austen Kroll.
The only cast member seemingly unaware is the man himself. Craig has his eye on a different prize. One that goes by the name of Charley. Perhaps that is why the Sewing Down South founder isn’t aware of all that Salley has to offer.
But in a sneak peek for this week’s episode, she told him exactly what has been on her mind.
Craig Conover sees Salley Carson as just a friend
The sneak peek, shared exclusively by E! News, has Craig shutting down any possibility of romance with his co-star. For the Season 11, Episode 7 clip, the duo are out shopping together. before Salley broaches the subject.
“Me and you have obviously gotten to be really good friends. But I’ve been kind of catching some feelings,” Salley shared. “I’m saying I like you. I can date you.”
Craig replied, “I just don’t see it. We’re just friends.”
Salley didn’t let him off the hook that easily. She referred to the numerous nights she spent in his hot tub earlier in the season. The Medtronic rep continued, “If you don’t see yourself being in a relationship or moving down that path, then why are you and me hanging out in a hot tub until 4am?”
The OG star was open to a hook up with Salley at one point. But when it didn’t happen organically, he moved on. “I was like, ‘Oh, cool. Maybe we might do something, maybe this might go somewhere.’ But then, it didn’t,” Craig explained.
A bewildered Craig told producers in a confessional interview that he had “never been in this situation where a girl really thought I liked her and I didn’t.” He figured Salley is simply “reading into our interactions in a fantasy way.”
Back at shopping, Salley continued to argue her case. She denied being “f*cking delusional” about what she felt was an opportunity with Craig.
“You’ve been hitting only for three weeks,” she noted. “I’m not making this up in my head.”
Craig insisted, “I just don’t think I’m meeting the threshold of leading anyone on. But I also have no problem with just being friends with you.”
Interestingly enough, Salley also became good friends with Austen in real time. It left fans questioning if there was something more going on between them.
