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.”
