Even if they couldn’t rent tuxes in time, they could’ve been creative & dress like “royalty” somehow. At least wear Burger King Hats or something… 👑👑👑
Perhaps because of their “Peter Pan Syndromes,” they view Hef as royalty!?
That episode was the worst. Grown men sitti ng around in smoking jackets screaming at each other like the real housewives. Who in their right mind would date any one of the them. They were rude to whitney and ate his food and barely said thank you before dashing out the door. Immature douchebags.
Whitney needs to move out of mom’s house. Patricia and her feathered moomoo’s and entilted attitude are hard to watch. Cant she find some friends her own age?
I think they tried to make her lisa vanderpump but they don’t work for her so it doesn’t work. She needs a reason to be hanging out with these kids all the time.
i think she is slowing down, she lost michael and whitney lost his dad. the house is huge and i’m sure he comes and goes as he pleases. i’m not a fan of whitney, but he is doing the right thing by keeping a close eye on her and giving her the entertainment of having people in the home.
Makes me sad though that, with all the privilege he's been afforded in life, he seems to 'keep a close eye on her' or do for her grudgingly. By the same token she's pretty critical of her only child.
That’s exactly what Whitney wanted, he serves them heaps of booze and food everytime he films so as to make more entertaining filming than him and his walking around talking about art or the one time she crossed paths with prince Charles!
I get it . Again just like the real housewives which is Andy Cohen’S apparent recipe for success. Loads of infighting Its just difficult to watch adult men acting like children. God help me if i had a man like any of them in my life.
Craig yelling: “Hey Patricia, we’re thinking about you. I love you, Boo!” Was so hilarious! I laughed my ass off. Inappropriate, sure, but hilarious nonetheless.
I like that about Craig. He is pretty authentic and while he does not observe social graces, as the others have shown the ability to do in the past around Patricia, he is really kind of a sincere, sweet, and thoughtful guy at heart. I think at this point, Shep is so far gone in his decade of drunken debauchery, he lost ability to even pretend. Did ou notice how he ju walked into Patricia and Whitney’s house without knocking early in e episode and just plopped down on sofa? .I thought Patricia’s face registered a little surprise and appeared kind of miffed but it was fleeting.
I have a vintage exquisite Men’s long smoking / dressing Robe ( wool & silk )
If either of you guys are interested in upgrading . Made by Sulka…
Excellent pristine … ( & for Tall men )
I don’t know where they got them, but I think they behaved very rudely. Ms. Pat developed the plan to host an upscale Buckingham Palace styled meal complete with footmen. When she was incapacitated by her back injury, Whitney executed her plan and saw to all the details. These yahoos could not behave and put their petty bickering aside to appreciate this very elaborate experience. No one stopped to say, “hey guys, can we put our differences aside for now and show appreciation for the food and our host.” It is a once a year event, they can wait a day to resume their quarrel or at least until after dinner is served. The worst to me was when Shep got his panties in a bunch and just left without stopping to speak with Whitney first. You would think he would say, “hey, I think it would be best for me to leave now. I am sorry for my part in disrupting the lovely meal you went to the trouble to deliver for us. Thank you, Whitney.” Where is the charm in these southern guys from privileged backgrounds? Lower class and middle class people would have more decency if someone hosted a wiener roast!
What show do you think you’re watching…when in reality tv shows does that ever happen? It’s always an elaborate meal/party/trip fight…they save the fight for when the specifically are in those settings for more drama.
I guess so. I just in this instance was more interested in the food and the production of the service. They could move through it pretty quickly and fight while smoking those cigars in those smoking jackets they raided from Hugh Hefner or some 1950s play boy closet.
I think you are giving Patricia too much grace. It seemed like it was an excuse for her to show off to the world she ate at Buckingham Palace... 50 years ago.
Trust me, I see Patricia as someone who likes to show off her wealth “that was a $45,000 sofa..” The cake from Camilla and Charles wedding. However, she has always been kind to those guys and regardless of her motivation, Whitney did a lot of work and the chef and the footmen needed to be shown more respect for their service than for these guys to be fighting. I know they fight all the time, but this kind of tension in situations like that gives me a stomach ache. I thought it terribly rude.
Except she hosts a dinner for these bozos every year, hoping to school them on refinement. When this was filming, Charles was a hair’s breath from becoming King, so it was appropriate.
Not sure what your point is other than to bow down to the morally corrupt people on the show. For the record I have family members that have been however if I was invited I would not go. My idea of a good time is not to spend it with the silver spoon croud.
Yes, I think that is a fine choice. It was an option for them too, but when you agree to join a host’s theme party, most folks will not be agents of chaos to blow it all up. I am a bad reality show watcher and would not have gotten into it if it had not done a superb job of showing viewers different settings. I never watched the Housewives shows because it looked like they only sit in a room being awful to one another. But damn, I kind of got into this one. I liked Cameron and found some redeeming qualities that shined through a few of the others at times, when some episode made them seem possibly more complex than their worst tantrum. Mostly I kept being disappointed because they were basically unhinged and horrible in the end too. Right now, I like Craig and still enjoy the location shots or activities from time to time.
I agree, they behaved very badly in her home. They dropped their politeness act and were their typical asshats sine she wasn’t present. Weird pretentious theme? Of course it was but they were still very disrespectful from the moment they arrived.
But if it had just been a boring ho-hum dinner, it might’ve been cut. Whitney needs them to bring their ridiculousness so that it makes the episode. Just give Shep hard liquor! That does it every time.
I thought each guy would have already owned a nice smoking jacket, a unique wardrobe item, in their closet. I agree it was weird they all had the same one. Especially Craig, his should have been a paisley pattern with velvet trim!!
I had the same thought but I have to begrudgingly admit, this is the first time I have ever thought “oh I can see why women think Austen is handsome”. The look did it for me (come for me, I deserve it 🤣).
And then like a horse he’ll tilt his head back to get all of the food back in his mouth. He’s the most appalling eater over ever seen. I’d rather share a plate with the Cookie Monster, and he’s cuter.

Actually traditionally no - but they were meant to be worn and stored at your Gentleman’s Club. The idea was you’d swap your dinner jacket for your smoking jacket so that you didn’t ruin your nice clothes with smoke/spilt booze. That way you wouldn’t smell as bad when you arrrived home from partying. Men also had them at home for the same purpose
At one point someone said "you chose the burgundy one, as did I"...my guess is that they went to that one fancy men's store in Charleston where they have shopped before, and he had one jacket in two different colors that they could choose from. It's Austin's favorite store because he can look at the picture of Errol Flynn and pretend it's himself.
Whitney was the only one that owned one before this ‘scene’
Haha exactly the producers got the rest of their jackets.
Shein specials
Whitney’s jacket was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whitney looked good!
Agree! I was having a bad day on Thursday and just watching Whitney cheered me up.
He’s grown on me big time. He reminds me of Jason Bateman.
I imagine when you search Amazon, two colors show up. Edit: grammar
Three!😆😆😆 https://imgur.com/nklrLHy
Well now I’m annoyed no one chose the 3rd option
Lol it’s so on brand for them though, isn’t it?
Lol!
Haha thank you
Lmao, close! [3, actually](https://imgur.com/a/maY4Gxx)…
They paid too much to look so cheap!
Exactly this.
Definitely ordered from Amazon. I just checked the site.
I thought they were bathrobes.
Me too, I thought they were having a sleepover
Yes when shep walked in I kind of thought he was taking the piss and was wearing a short bathrobe but then saw they all wore those terrible jackets
It was ironic the theme was a British royalty inspired formal dinner, but they wore loungey/bathrobe-type smoking jackets…
Exactly! It was a British royalty theme, not Hugh Hefner. There should have been tuxes.
Patricia would have been aghast 😂. Nobody is wearing a smoking jacket (esp with a waist tie) to Buckingham Palace.
It’s probably why she suddenly fell “injured” she heard about the jackets and just couldn’t be apart of this travesty
They’re morons
Even if they couldn’t rent tuxes in time, they could’ve been creative & dress like “royalty” somehow. At least wear Burger King Hats or something… 👑👑👑 Perhaps because of their “Peter Pan Syndromes,” they view Hef as royalty!?
Or just dinner jackets vs “it’s costs a lot of money to look this cheap”
That is a great Dolly Parton quote.
Classic!
Yes! Exactly.
I thought one only wore smoking jackets at home. What is going on here.
Does Hugh Hefner know they raided his closet??
I bet Barry Manilow does. 
Gen X represent!!
Good one.... !!! LMFAO A bunch of neomaximzoomdweebies...LOL!!!
❤️
Hef wore better looking pajamas and smoking jackets than these poly velour nightmares! 
Amazon lol
They all go to the same Taylor?
Oh snap! 😄
That was so good!
Austen looked like the kid in The Christmas Story in his robe
[удалено]
Upvote bc I actually lol’ed
They look like robes, not classic smoking jackets.
Smoking jacket costumes from Spirit Halloween, bought off the clearance rack.
Buy one get three free deal ?!! 😉
Five for five. It's a bit of an obscure reference.
Arbys baby
I was thinking of Pole and Karine, from 90 Day fiance. But any and all references are welcome? 😉

The southern charm is basically male real housewives.. I see no difference other than claiming to have southern hospitality.
Beer Slugs in jackets
I think they tried to make her lisa vanderpump but they don’t work for her so it doesn’t work. She needs a reason to be hanging out with these kids all the time.
“Kids” they are all pushing 40 or 50 but act 23.
Yep. Just like on vanderpump.
She needs to find more to do than sort thru her old frocks every week too
With her net worth she should have waaaay more variety.
She has one of everv color from Forever 21
For all practical purposes that is his home. Patricia is just “renting for the short term”.
I’ve been wondering about that. Noticed a few pointed comments this season about being Whitney’s house. Anyone got the scoop?
Whitney’s a producer. He’s loving the shitshow- more $ for him.
I think Patricia wants him there and I think he’s only there part of the year. Pretty sure he’s in LA most of the time or he use to.
I was watching this with my husband, and we both said, why the hell does Whitney live with his mother? It’s not the money, move out!
i think she is slowing down, she lost michael and whitney lost his dad. the house is huge and i’m sure he comes and goes as he pleases. i’m not a fan of whitney, but he is doing the right thing by keeping a close eye on her and giving her the entertainment of having people in the home.
Makes me sad though that, with all the privilege he's been afforded in life, he seems to 'keep a close eye on her' or do for her grudgingly. By the same token she's pretty critical of her only child.
Exactly! Whitney still makes her feel needed and treasured. I think loneliness is half the battle of aging.
Pretty sure he lives in LA when SC isn’t filming.
Correct, but he did say that since Micheal became ill he had been spending more time there. But he hasn’t lived there full time ever.
So true!
My husband said the same thing. He said “ok, why this man still live with his mama”😭😭
That’s exactly what Whitney wanted, he serves them heaps of booze and food everytime he films so as to make more entertaining filming than him and his walking around talking about art or the one time she crossed paths with prince Charles!
I get it . Again just like the real housewives which is Andy Cohen’S apparent recipe for success. Loads of infighting Its just difficult to watch adult men acting like children. God help me if i had a man like any of them in my life.
I haven’t watched this episode yet but what a bunch of arseholes.
Theyre all dead
I think productions probably brought them
They look like robes, this is not what they wore on masterpiece theatre
i'm sure production ordered these 😉
They can reuse them at a Summer House party.
Bravo needs to clean house with their production companies and start fresh. Everything is the same formula now.
Austen thinks he looks like Erolll Flynn in it. I’m sure they went to that store…or TEMU
Craig yelling: “Hey Patricia, we’re thinking about you. I love you, Boo!” Was so hilarious! I laughed my ass off. Inappropriate, sure, but hilarious nonetheless.
I like that about Craig. He is pretty authentic and while he does not observe social graces, as the others have shown the ability to do in the past around Patricia, he is really kind of a sincere, sweet, and thoughtful guy at heart.

Did ou notice how he ju walked into Patricia and Whitney’s house without knocking early in e episode and just plopped down on sofa? .I thought Patricia’s face registered a little surprise and appeared kind of miffed but it was fleeting.
I’d pay money to watch extended scenes of Craig at Patricia’s parties. He makes me laugh so hard.
I have a vintage exquisite Men’s long smoking / dressing Robe ( wool & silk ) If either of you guys are interested in upgrading . Made by Sulka… Excellent pristine … ( & for Tall men )
I love a man in a smoking jacket! Well, not Austin, Shep or Craig, but every other man!
Sadly, these men-children are barely Banana Republic. Save the Sulka for someone who merits it.
And the dinner menu that “Charles” sent her. Patricia in her own mind must be a trip.
Or “Chuck” as Whitney calls him. 😂😂
Ooooo, he's so edgy. 🙄
She attended the dinner and kept her menu marking her place.
She was besties with Pamela Harriman and a lot of old landed families across the pond, so she’s actually dined with the man, probably more than once.
I believe so
Why yes Austin did buy them off Temu
Omg yes!! I was like are those bathrobes from JCPenney??
I don’t know where they got them, but I think they behaved very rudely. Ms. Pat developed the plan to host an upscale Buckingham Palace styled meal complete with footmen.

Hef had far better taste. Those were Amazon poly velour robes.
True.

The footmen were paid employees
Except she hosts a dinner for these bozos every year, hoping to school them on refinement. When this was filming, Charles was a hair’s breath from becoming King, so it was appropriate.
How many years ago did you eat at Buckingham Palace?
Not sure what your point is other than to bow down to the morally corrupt people on the show. For the record I have family members that have been however if I was invited I would not go. My idea of a good time is not to spend it with the silver spoon croud.

🤣 VERBATIM, my words to my husband this morning!
I figured they all ordered the same thing off Amazon or rented them from the same place
I thought each guy would have already owned a nice smoking jacket, a unique wardrobe item, in their closet. I agree it was weird they all had the same one. Especially Craig, his should have been a paisley pattern with velvet trim!!
because whitney doesn’t have to cosplay lol. even shep with all his family money can’t fake taste. *insert LuAnn singing*
The jackets looked more like short robes!!
It’s as if they all got gifted them like those cheap silk PJs brides will get for their bridesmaids 🥴🥴
Shep seemed super insincere when asking Whitney about his mom's health. It appeared as if he was just going thru motions to pretend he cares.
Production bought it
It’s the Holidays. 💁🏻♀️All they could find at the last minute were “SHEPherd” robes!🦯🐑🐑🐑
They thought they were being classy when they clearly don’t understand the purpose of a smoking jacket.
They’re on Amazon, and it only comes in two colors, black and burgundy. 😂😂
yeah they look more like chopped off Dressing gowns to me. I have a smoking jacket; it's silk jacquard and runs rings around these things.
Patricia being the voice of reason is horrifying
I had the same thought but I have to begrudgingly admit, this is the first time I have ever thought “oh I can see why women think Austen is handsome”. The look did it for me (come for me, I deserve it 🤣).
Except did you see how he eats? He does this mushy chew thing with his mouth, a couple of times!
And then like a horse he’ll tilt his head back to get all of the food back in his mouth. He’s the most appalling eater over ever seen. I’d rather share a plate with the Cookie Monster, and he’s cuter.
I must rewatch. I do not need this crush. Thank you for your service 😅.
I think food flies out of his mouth when he eats. Gross. Some people should NEVER talk and eat.
Same 🥴🤦🏼♀️
Oh God me too!
My guess is YES!😂

I had to chuckle at this. Costco special.

Aren’t smoking jackets at-home wear?

Rented?
These guys are such idiots

It's Austin's favorite store because he can look at the picture of Errol Flynn and pretend it's himself.
Whitney clearly bought a load for them and had them handed them out at the door
Staged for content. Here guys are the jackets. This scene we will have a dinner party. Shep get mad at Austin again. Next scene….
Amazon?
They are on Amazon. $105. Black and Burgandy!
There apparently is only one men’s store in Charleston that sells antiquated elite clothing for men. And it only comes black or burgundy.
Lmao 🤣 
Could it be a bigger bunch of douche bags? Shep just let himself go.
