Love him or loathe him, Austen Kroll has been carrying this season of Southern Charm. What is everyone else doing? Eliza Limehouse is a complete non-factor. Why is she a full-time cast member when Danni Baird has been a “friend of the cast” this whole time? Naomie Olindo brings nothing to the table. Cameran Eubanks has never had an actual storyline.
And in contrast, we have Austen, whose tumultuous relationship with Madison LeCroy, has provided a constantly-changing storyline. The season started with him cheating on her with not one, but two women at the same time. Shep Rose and Craig Conover got overly involved in their relationship and exposed Madison for sliding in Danni’s man’s direct messages. Now, it looks like the couple is getting back together. For now, anyway.
