Lets start with the first event.

that the foxhunt is going down.

She responds with the only appropriate read: Did this girl just Google typically Southern things?

Yes, she did.

Also, so did a producer.

Ostensibly, this is the flavor of the show.

Were supposed to be tuning in to see what southern life is really like.

Its something that is really done more for the benefit of outsiders than the people actually participating in it.

But theres no fox.

How do you know when its over?

you’ve got the option to go through the motions, but why bother?

If the excuse is to get drunk, like it is at most sporting events, then great.

Thank goodness Kathryn is grown enough that it was the anticlimax that we all know it would be.

Ashley broke up with Thomas (so she says) and is back living in Santa Barbara.

She has no business being here other than to stir up drama.

Kathryn arrives looking like an extra from Beyonces Formation video who is from Spain and not the Deep South.

Ashley jokes to her friends that she looks like Pippi Longstocking.

Here is the thing about all of this Ashley business: She clearly has no interest in actually apologizing.

She shows up apparently to make peace, but shes snarking on Kathryns appearance.

After her apology, shes again talking to her friend and says, We just dont understand each other.

Ashley says she wants things to be good between her and Kathryn and to apologize.

Kathryn accepts her apology and says everything is fine.

What is there not to understand?

She had a goal; it seems she accomplished it.

Kathryn is never going to be her friend; was that what she really wanted?

I dont know how you could go from one polar opposite side of the spectrum to the other one.

I dont buy it.

I dont buy that youre trying to be nice to me, she says.

Nor should she, since Ashley really has no interest in being nice.

It seems like this story line is about as real as this truly fake foxhunt.

I do believe everything thats going on with Austen and Madison, however.

There is something going on with Madison that were not seeing.

This fact seems to have fallen out of the equation whenever Craig and Shep talk about their relationship.

He divulges a secret that Austen told him to Cameran so that even the score.

This leaves me with so many questions.

The first of which is, why would a guy do that?

Also, whose butt was the stuff being done to?

Since Shep uses this as an example of Austens deviance, I think it might be his butt.

I think that Madison might have agreed to a round of pegging.

But a good old P-spot massage?

Thats another thing entirely.
