00:00And he fought while dressed like the girl in Harry Potter.
00:03It's Watch What Happens Live with Madison LaCroix and Austin Kroll now.
00:18Hey everybody, welcome to Watch What Happens Live.
00:20I'm your host Andy Cohen in the Bravo Clubhouse.
00:22Thrilled to be here on Chotsky Night with two of my pals from Southern Charm.
00:26Give it up for Madison LaCroix.
00:28And say hi to Austin Kroll.
00:32Hi Austin.
00:33I gotta tell you something.
00:36Austin, I could look at you in the Hermione outfit all day long.
00:41It was my favorite thing ever.
00:42I'm the fugliest girl ever.
00:44No, I mean, let's review your costumes because you as Shep, I mean, that's, I mean, it's so good.
00:54I mean, it's so good.
00:56I love both of you so much.
00:59It's amazing.
01:00Anyway, congratulations.
01:03Number one question for you, Madison.
01:05What does your husband think about you being such good friends with Austin?
01:09He doesn't mind, actually.
01:11I mean, I know that it looks awkward on TV, their conversations, but in reality, you're good friends.
01:16I feel like Brett and I talk and riff, and it's totally normal, which is why I was like, was it really that awkward?
01:23Yeah, it's really not awkward.
01:24I don't think it is.
01:25To what do you attribute Craig's outburst at you tonight?
01:29Uh, I don't know, man.
01:33He just has something.
01:37Look, I, you know, ribbed him, but I don't think that the action was justified for my ribbing.
01:43Um, I am wondering how you are reconciling his admission to you last season that he felt, uh, you know, that he had alcohol issues with his embrace of alcohol this season.
02:01Um, yeah, it's something that I've been talking about, I've been asked a lot about, and, and, like, it almost makes it look like I'm, like, obsessed, you know, with Craig and what he's going on, or that's certainly how he's thinking.
02:14Okay, well, we know you are obsessed with Craig, but that's okay.
02:17But, okay, okay, well, he's certainly kind of taking it in that way, and, and I just kind of find it head-scratching.
02:24Okay, uh, Lydia B wants to know, Madison, what did you make of Sally being so upset, uh, by Charlie cozying up to Craig?
02:31When she didn't seem to care about upsetting Vanita by getting close to Craig herself?
02:36Is there an unfair double standard there?
02:39Honestly, I personally just love Sally so much, so I stand by her, so whatever she was feeling in the moment.
02:45And I don't know Charlie that well, so, um, yeah, team Sally.
02:50Seems like Charlie was not too into Shep.
02:54Do you blame her?
02:57Sorry.
02:58Okay, okay, prior to the season, she did seem interesting.
03:01So, um, Shep got her number, he asked her out, she said yes, and then I guess she had to change her part.
03:07But if you have Craig and you have Shep, that's when Shep realized he didn't have a chance.
03:11Oh, ooh, dang.
03:13Sorry.
03:14Shep's got game, man.
03:15He's got game, I'll say that.
03:16Okay, I hope so by 55.
03:20What sort of beef you got with Shep right now?
03:22Oh, it's fine.
03:23At the literary costume party, most people dressed as the movie version of their character.
03:30So, over at the bar, it's someone who actually knows about books.
03:33It's the co-owner of the great Left Bank Books, a used and rare bookshop in the West Village on Perry Street.
03:40Eric Buran.
03:41Hey, Eric.
03:42Duran, Duran, we love Left Bank Books.
03:46Great to see you.
03:47Drinking game alert.
03:47My guests won't know it, but anytime you hear anyone say this word, if you're 21 or over,
03:52in honor of Wittner's party, drink it to your F. Scott Litz Gerald.
03:57Wittner seems like a good fit for the group.
04:00Yeah, I think so.
04:01It's fun.
04:02And I'm just going to say, it's nice to have a guy that doesn't come into the group and try to mess with me.
04:08Oh, okay, right.
04:09You know, so it's nice he comes in and he's just having fun.
04:12Okay.
04:13Seeming good.
04:13Okay, that was a Veil JT reference.
04:16Yes.
04:17Wow.
04:17Okay.
04:18Pringle, he went for Madison.
04:19Right.
04:20I mean, Rod went, yeah.
04:22Right.
04:22Okay.
04:23The men.
04:23At this year's BravoCon, Madison encountered some new beef while Austin found himself in a conversation
04:30about Lindsey Hubbard's eggs, and now I'm egging them both to spill some juicy details.
04:35Okay, who has won Bravo Liberty at BravoCon you were surprised to hit it off with?
04:40I hit it off with everyone, clearly, but Cy, so.
04:43And you?
04:44Kiki.
04:45Kiki, oh, yes.
04:46Did you ever ask her out?
04:47I'll drink a water.
04:48Did you ever ask her out?
04:49We exchanged numbers and such, and she was very pleasant when I reached out to her, but it just didn't get real.
04:57Okay, well, do you ever get to Miami? Because I think you need to pursue this.
05:01I would go to Miami.
05:01Okay.
05:03Was there anyone you felt particularly starstruck or intimidated by, either of you?
05:07Erica Jane scares the s*** out of me.
05:09She does?
05:10Yes.
05:10Okay.
05:11That's about the only person, but I'm like, oh, my God, you're so beautiful and so tall.
05:14She's scary in a good way.
05:16Okay.
05:16Yes.
05:16Denise walked by me, like, three times, and I couldn't, right?
05:19Denise Richards?
05:20Yeah.
05:21Yes.
05:21I was just like, hello, you know?
05:23Starstruck.
05:24Okay.
05:24Did you catch anyone being rude to fans or to you?
05:30No.
05:30Or, conversely, do you want to praise anyone who was especially gracious?
05:36Dorinda is the absolute best person in the world.
05:39I love her.
05:40I mean, I have to do it again.
05:41I mean, man, Vicky, you know, backstage, you were the only one there.
05:44Well, you know, Kiki as well, but she was like, Austin, right?
05:46And she was just fine to get her orange.
05:48Yeah.
05:48Vicky, I love you.
05:49And she was like.
05:51Okay, well, that's not being nice to fans.
05:52She was nice to you.
05:54Oh, okay.
05:55Oh, yes.
05:56Okay.
05:58Um, okay, do we think the animosity between Craig and Kyle has died down?
06:04No.
06:04Okay.
06:06Uh, Madison, what do you make of Austin and Lindsay's chemistry?
06:09It's strong.
06:11It is strong.
06:11It always has.
06:12It's always been strong, honestly.
06:14Besides Lindsay and Kiki, did you have any sparks with any other Bravo celebrities?
06:19Austin.
06:20There needs more.
06:20What?
06:21There needs more than Kiki and Lindsay?
06:23Maybe.
06:24Um.
06:25Tell them the truth.
06:26Who?
06:26I'm just kidding.
06:27Oh.
06:27I don't know.
06:28Well, on the Guys and Girls show, Lindsay insinuated that you had some fun with some Bravo fans.
06:35Yes.
06:35Yes.
06:36She did insinuate that, and she's wrong.
06:38And she's wrong.
06:39I told her that.
06:40And Lindsay said to me, she was like, I just don't want you to lie to me, Austin.
06:44And I'm like, Lindsay, I'm not lying to you.
06:46Did you tell her this on Friday?
06:47The odds that she's talking about is wrong.
06:49What are the odds that Sally and Shep will hook up again?
06:53Uh-uh.
06:53No.
06:54Okay.
06:54Uh-uh.
06:54Okay.
06:55All right.
06:56No.
06:56No.
06:57No.
06:57What did each of you make of Leva's Instagram comment defending Paige, saying there's no
07:02war between Southern Charm and Summer House?
07:05Well, she's not on Southern Charm, but I didn't see that.
07:09Oh, okay.
07:09All right.
07:10Thank you both very much.
07:12As we saw tonight with Austin and Craig, Southern Charm is full of dysfunctional couples,
07:19but Madison is one of the few who's happily settled down.
07:23So let's get her take on the rest of the gang's relationship drama.
07:27It's time for Southern Charming or Alarming.
07:30Okay.
07:31Okay.
07:32Craig showing up to Charlie's place of work to get his flirt on.
07:36Southern Charming or Alarming?
07:38I thought it was charming.
07:39He looked like Christian Grace.
07:40He looked hot.
07:41Okay.
07:42Yeah, it was good.
07:42Shep's habit of dating 20-something-year-olds besides, despite being in his 40s.
07:47Alarming.
07:48Okay.
07:48Austin and Craig both being content not living in the same city as their partners.
07:53That's fine.
07:54Okay.
07:54Shep's overly poetic paragraph-long text messages to Sienna.
07:59Ew.
07:59Okay.
08:00JT omitting the fact he had a girlfriend, surprising his whole friend group.
08:06Don't get me started on this one.
08:08Your buddy Austin getting caught with two girls and swearing it was innocent.
08:14Yeah, that's his best look right there.
08:16Oh, man.
08:17Chef's fondness for gifting his Paramore shark-toothed necklaces.
08:21Alarming.
08:21Okay, thank you very much.
08:24This season, Austin's called Craig a pussy and a dick, which makes sense since we know
08:29they love to hit below the belt.
08:31And I'm sure this next game would drive his buddy nuts because it's time for Austin to
08:34play...
08:35Should Craig regret it?
08:38Since judging Craig comes to you so easily, this should be a breeze.
08:42Should Craig regret not defending Paige when the internet thought she cheated on him?
08:47God, there's no right answer to this.
08:49I just don't know what he was supposed to do.
08:51I really don't.
08:52Because I don't think that anyone said to him, like...
08:54I don't know.
08:55I may have said it.
08:57Oh.
08:58And, well, I think that he thinks that it's true.
09:01Should Craig regret saying he won't associate with Vanita anymore?
09:07No.
09:08Should Craig regret offering you $30,000 to retain ownership over your podcast?
09:13He should, but he doesn't.
09:15Okay, should Craig regret telling Patricia that JT called her a bitch?
09:19He should, but he won't.
09:21Should Craig regret working with a spritz competitor instead of with Kyle?
09:25No.
09:26The beverage business is big enough for both of them.
09:29Absolutely.
09:30Should Craig regret being dishonest about the status of his lost school, graduation, and
09:34bar application?
09:34That was before my time, but yes.
09:37Should Craig regret making that video explaining that Paige dumped him after she'd made a point
09:42to keep it amicable?
09:45That was a strange one.
09:47I mean, we texted each other being like, did you see Craig's video?
09:49Like, you know, he broke his silence.
09:50He was sitting on his front steps.
09:52It was very, very strange.
09:54He broke his silence.
09:55That's sitting on the front steps.
09:57Sitting on the front steps.
09:58Hey, guys.
09:59Lifetime.
10:00Should he?
10:00Yes.
10:01Okay, should Craig regret calling Lindsay?
10:03Should Craig regret calling Lindsay Hubbard the biggest loser in the world?
10:08That's crazy.
10:08Okay.
10:09Clearly, Paige and Craig have the same vernacular, because when I went to Summer House, Paige called
10:14me that, too.
10:15So, I think that, yes, he should regret it.
10:18Should Craig regret how he handled your backyard chat when you told him you missed him?
10:22Yes.
10:23Should Craig regret calling himself a storyteller?
10:26No.
10:26Should Craig regret any of his BravoCon 2025 hairstyles?
10:30Let me answer that.
10:32No, I'm kidding.
10:32Yes.
10:33No, no, no.
10:33Honestly, okay, two out of three were good.
10:36Yeah.
10:36Okay.
10:36I liked this one on the left.
10:38I liked that you went for it.
10:39Yes, Austin was upset about the slicked back look.
10:41The slicked back was not my favorite.
10:42Okay.
10:43Thank you very much, Austin.
10:47All right.
10:48It's the Schatzky siren.
10:50You don't know what to do.
10:53Come on over, guys.
10:54This is going to be lopsided.
10:58Okay.
10:59One, two, three.
11:04It's so lopsided.
11:05You can get your own shots at shotbybravo.com.
11:08Coming up, we have more with Madison and Austin.
11:11Don't miss that on our show.
11:12Kyle Richards and Representative Robert Garcia are here after the super-sized season premiere
11:18of Beverly Hills.
11:20Schatzky!
11:24All right, welcome back to Watch What Happens Live.
11:35I am Andy Cohen in a deep kiki with Madison LaCroix and Austin Curry from Southern Charm.
11:42Over at the bar, it's Eric Duran, co-owner of Left Bank Books in the West Village.
11:47What's the most sought-after book that people come looking for in your store?
11:51Maybe The Great Gatsby.
11:53All right.
11:54Yes.
11:55Drinking game reminder, anytime you hear this word, drink until like Madison and Austin
12:00tonight.
12:01You also need a bib.
12:03By the way, why didn't anyone tell Craig that Rufio is not a literary character?
12:08I was having a talk with Eric earlier about it, and I was like, well, it's not a literary...
12:13He just wants to put on eyeliner.
12:15Right.
12:16Oh.
12:16He wanted to put on eyeliner.
12:20Yeah.
12:20Okay.
12:21Let's take questions from our fans.
12:23In studio, it's Jacqueline from New York City.
12:26What's your question for Madison?
12:28Hi, Madison.
12:29Hi, Madison.
12:30Hi, Austin.
12:31Madison, congrats on your baby girl, Teddy.
12:33I'm due with a girl in two weeks.
12:36Congratulations.
12:37Wow.
12:38Wait, two weeks?
12:39You're carrying very small.
12:41Yes.
12:41So my question's for you, Madison.
12:43Is that...
12:44Can you describe who you think Austin's perfect match is, and who from the Bravo universe
12:51you would like to set him up with?
12:52Oh, my God.
12:53There's only one match for Austin.
12:55And his name is Craig.
12:57Craig.
12:58Yes.
12:59Damn.
12:59Come on, just do it.
13:01Hey, this is...
13:02Wait, we gotta do that again.
13:03This is a setup.
13:05Okay, who...
13:06I mean, I think Austin should pursue Kiki.
13:09I agree.
13:09Actually, I was...
13:10She's been sending me some girls, you know, recently, and I'm like, okay, Madison, keep
13:13in common.
13:14I sent you two.
13:15Okay.
13:15But I saw Kiki when she walked up, and I was like, whoa, she's a model.
13:20Yes, she is a model.
13:21That's why I didn't even, like, think to, you know, pursue her, because she's beautiful.
13:24Do you feel like she's out of your league?
13:26I mean, yes.
13:26She is.
13:27Yes.
13:27Right, she might be.
13:28Yes.
13:29But that's okay.
13:30Yes.
13:30I'll pick the coach.
13:31I only have one thing going for me, Andy, and it's your favorite thing to make for her.
13:33Your height.
13:33Yes.
13:34Okay, in our studio audience, let's go to Audrey from North Carolina.
13:39No, not in our studio audience.
13:41It's Audrey from North Carolina, not Austin's Audrey.
13:45I just had a virtual question for Austin.
13:48Oh, my gosh.
13:48No.
13:49Hi.
13:49Thanks for your standing.
13:50So, hello, Charlotte.
13:52Hello.
13:53Do you love him?
13:55I mean, he's the best.
13:57Look at him.
13:58What a sharp...
13:58He's in my candle studio.
14:00I have a candle made the Andy Cohen.
14:03Oh, thank you.
14:04Does he smell good?
14:06Yeah, it's Woodsy Elegance.
14:11All right.
14:12It smells...
14:13Does it smell like a Vegas strip club?
14:15All right, well, have your people contact me, and I'll send you one.
14:19It was a high-end strip club.
14:22All right.
14:23Was it?
14:23Yeah.
14:25Austin, I was going to ask you.
14:26I've been dying to know, what is your reaction to the video of Shep ranting about Craig and
14:34Paige's relationship at BravoCon After Hours?
14:38And honestly, do you feel there was any truth to what he was saying?
14:43I've been dying to know.
14:45I mean, I heard bits and pieces.
14:47I mean, I've heard it, right?
14:48Like, I've heard this rant from him.
14:50And I don't know about the truth of it.
14:55It's just, I just think that he just needs to, like, let it go.
14:58He just needs to let it go.
15:00I'm not sure why.
15:02For a guy who lets so many things go, I'm not sure why this bothers him so much.
15:07Like, why?
15:08But I kind of do, and then I kind of don't.
15:11I mean, he thinks that's, he thinks that Paige and Craig didn't go through what he went through
15:18with Taylor.
15:19And so I think that he thinks that that's unfair.
15:21What did he go through with Taylor?
15:22Just like a public, you know, like, at the reunion, you know, he got flogged by Taylor
15:27for three hours.
15:28Just three hours?
15:29He got flogged by Paige at her reunion.
15:32Yeah.
15:33Okay.
15:34Yeah, so I, what was the question?
15:37I don't know.
15:38Okay.
15:39Three.
15:40Okay.
15:40Madison, Ava B. said you wasted no time telling Audrey about Sally's crush on Austin.
15:45Were you genuinely trying to give her a heads up, or did you want to watch Austin squirm?
15:49No, honestly, it had nothing to do with Austin.
15:52As Austin knows, I love Audrey.
15:54I thought she was, like, the sweetest girl that he had ever been with.
15:57And for me, I just felt like she kind of had no clue.
16:00So I was just being a girl's girl and kind of letting her know that, like, watch out for
16:05this guy.
16:05He might hurt your heart.
16:07This guy?
16:08All right, what about...
16:09Well...
16:10So it's my fault that Sally has a thing for me.
16:14No, but you said to her face that you liked her, too.
16:18Who?
16:19Sally.
16:20I do like her.
16:21I know.
16:22And I wasn't telling Audrey that.
16:23And I said it to Audrey.
16:23That's all.
16:24Yeah.
16:24Okay.
16:25Madison and Austin's relationship has evolved over the years from dating to feuding to getting
16:31crabs.
16:31And since Madison lovingly refers to Austin as her gay best friend, let's see if these
16:37two straight shooters can agree as we play the GBF test.
16:41I'm going to run through some Southern Charm hot topics.
16:44And when I count down from three, shout your answers at the same time.
16:47We'll see how many you match.
16:48Who's the better match for Craig, Charlie, or Sally?
16:52Three, two, one.
16:53Charlie.
16:54Oh.
16:55Bam.
16:55How should Molly approach things with Corey?
16:58Stay for fun or stay far away?
17:00Three, two, one.
17:02Far away.
17:02Stay far away.
17:03Okay.
17:04If you two can become friends, is there any hope for Craig and Paige?
17:08Absolutely or not a chance?
17:10Three, two, one.
17:11Hopefully.
17:11Not a chance.
17:13Okay.
17:13Which newbie will reign supreme as the fan favorite this season, Charlie or Wittner?
17:18Three, two, one.
17:20Molly.
17:21She's not a newbie.
17:23She's not a newbie.
17:23Kind of.
17:24Charlie or Wittner?
17:25Three, two, one.
17:27Wittner.
17:28What?
17:28Say it.
17:29Okay.
17:30Who has the best game?
17:31Austin, Craig, or Shep?
17:33Three, two, one.
17:34Austin.
17:35Oh.
17:36How do you feel about Benita and Carl Radke as a potential love match?
17:41Cute as can be or can't see it?
17:43Three, two, one.
17:45Sure.
17:45Cute as can be.
17:46Yeah.
17:46Okay.
17:47Who will be the first to get engaged among the boys?
17:50Austin, Craig, or Shep?
17:51Three, two, one.
17:53Craig.
17:54You suck at this.
17:55By the way.
17:56He's terrible.
17:57I was going to say.
17:59You were not going to say you nor Sheps.
18:00Who's the voice of reason in this friend group?
18:03Rodrigo or Madison?
18:04Three, two, one.
18:05Me.
18:06Madison.
18:06Who is the bigger star of Southern Charm?
18:09Craig or Shep?
18:11Three, two, one.
18:13Madison.
18:13Madison.
18:13After the break, these two are giving to us What's What Happens Live.
18:29Watch What Happens Live.
18:31Watch What Happens Live.
18:33What Happens Live.
18:35All right.
18:35Welcome back to What's What Happens Live.
18:37I am Andy here with Madison, Austin, and Eric at the bar.
18:44Austin, Jessa M. wants to know if you believe Charlie flirting with Craig at Sally's party
18:48wasn't her going for it like she claimed tonight.
18:53Uh, no.
18:53I think she was.
18:55Austin, Marsha T. wants to know why you are so jealous of Craig.
19:04The hair.
19:05What?
19:05He's got good hair.
19:06Okay.
19:07He has what?
19:08I did, too.
19:08No, you do, too.
19:09He has what?
19:09Better hair?
19:10She has good hair.
19:12Then Austin, he has good hair.
19:13I just, uh.
19:14He has objectively better hair than you.
19:16Oof.
19:16No.
19:17That hurts.
19:17No, but, yeah, I mean, you have nice hair.
19:19It's just red.
19:20And you've got a full head of it.
19:21No, that was a trigger for him.
19:23No, he's not.
19:24Is Austin a ginge?
19:25No, he's not.
19:26Really?
19:27Wait a minute.
19:27Are you a ginge below the belt?
19:29No.
19:30Oh, okay.
19:31It is time for Watch What Happens 5.
19:33Now that Teresa and Melissa have reconciled, the Bravo battle that's got the most buzz is
19:39Southern Charm versus Summer House.
19:41And even though Austin's been intimate with both parties, tonight he and Madison are counting
19:47down the top five reasons the Southern Charm cast reigns supreme.
19:52Take it away, you two.
19:53Number five.
19:55Madison has better hair.
19:56Did you write that?
19:57You are unreal.
19:58He did.
19:58The things that she wrote about herself.
20:01Number four.
20:02Okay.
20:03Uh.
20:03Our theme song is better.
20:05It just is.
20:06I don't even think they have a theme song.
20:08They.
20:09Okay, why?
20:10Our theme song is better.
20:10Yes, no, I agree.
20:12Our theme song might be the best theme song.
20:13I totally agree.
20:15Uh, Vanderpump Rules.
20:17Now that it's gone, no.
20:18Okay.
20:18Well, no, Vanderpump Rules.
20:19Okay, but it's gone for a year.
20:20What are you talking about?
20:21Number three.
20:22Um, Madison has a hotter husband.
20:24Oh, my God.
20:24Where's the lie?
20:26There isn't a lie, so.
20:27Okay.
20:28Number two, Austin.
20:31I might change mine.
20:32Yeah.
20:32Okay.
20:33You're killing me.
20:34Well, these are boring.
20:35Okay, okay.
20:35Number two.
20:36We have nicer girls on our show, even though Madison has read me the riot act.
20:40Okay.
20:41Many times.
20:41Okay.
20:42And the number one reason Southern charm is better than Southern.
20:46I mean, I do own my house.
20:49Oh, so the rest of them.
20:51She doesn't win.
20:52Madison, Madison, Madison.
20:53Okay.
20:54Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
20:55Your move, Summer House.
20:56I want to thank Madison, Austin, and Eric for being out of the way that was Craig.
21:00We said it 27 times.
21:02We'll be playing our drinking game.
21:05No driving.
21:05We'll see you tomorrow night.
21:06Kyle Richards is here after the premiere of Beverly Hills.
21:10See you later, everybody.
