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.
00:27Give 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.
01:01Anyway, 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?
01:24Yeah, it's really not awkward.
01:25I don't think it is.
01:26To 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.
01:44Um, 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.
02:02Yeah, it's something that I've been talking about, I've been asked a lot about, and, and, uh, 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, well, he's certainly kind of taking it in that way, and I just kind of find it head-scratching.
02:23Okay, uh, Lydia B wants to know, Madison, what did you make of Sally being so upset, uh, by Charlie cozying up to Craig when she didn't seem to care about upsetting Vanita by getting close to Craig herself?
02:37Is 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.
02:46And I don't know Charlie that well, so, um, yeah, team Sally.
02:50It seems like Charlie was not too into Shep.
02:54Do you blame her?
02:57Sorry.
02:58Okay, okay, prior to the season, she did seem into him.
03:02Shep got her number, he asked her out, she said yes, and then I guess she had a team of heart.
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, he's got game, I'll say that.
03:17Okay, I hope so by 55.
03:20What sort of beef you got with Shep right now?
03:22Oh, it's fine.
03:24At 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, Eric Buran.
03:41Hey, Eric.
03:42Duran.
03:43Duran.
03:44You love Left Bank Books.
03:46Great to see you.
03:47Drinking Game Alert, my guests won't know it, but anytime you hear anyone say this word, if you're 21 or over, in honor of Wittner's party, drink it till you're 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.
04:09Right.
04:09You know, so it's nice he comes in and he's just having fun.
04:12Okay.
04:13Seeming good.
04:14Okay, that was a Veil JT reference.
04:16Yes.
04:16Wow.
04:17Okay.
04:18Pringle went for Madison.
04:19Right.
04:20I mean, Rod went, yeah.
04:22Right.
04:22Okay.
04:23At this year's BravoCon, Madison encountered some new beef while Austin found himself in a conversation about Lindsey Hubbard's eggs.
04:31And now I'm egging them both to spill some juicy details.
04:36Okay.
04:36Who is one 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.
04:45Oh, yes.
04:46Did you ever ask her out?
04:47Drink a water.
04:48Did you ever ask her out?
04:49We exchanged numbers and such.
04:51I know.
04:52And she was very pleasant when I reached out to her, but it just didn't.
04:57Okay.
04:58Well, do you ever get to Miami?
04:59Because I think you need to pursue this.
05:00I 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.
05:11Okay.
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.
05:15Okay.
05:15In a good way.
05:16Okay.
05:16Yes.
05:17Denise walked by me like three times and I couldn't, right?
05:19Denise Richards?
05:20Yeah.
05:21I was just like, hello, you know.
05:24Starstruck.
05:24Okay.
05:25Did you catch anyone being rude to fans or to you?
05:30No.
05:31Or 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.
05:45But she was like, Austin, right?
05:46And she was just trying to get her orange.
05:48Yeah.
05:48Vicky, I love you.
05:49And she was like.
05:50Okay, well, that's not being nice to fans.
05:53She was nice to you.
05:54Oh.
05:54Okay.
05:55Oh.
05:55Yes.
05:56Okay.
05:58Okay.
05:59Um, okay.
06:00Do we think the animosity between Craig and Kyle has died down?
06:04No.
06:05Okay.
06:05Uh, Madison, what do you make of Austin and Lindsay's chemistry?
06:10It's strong.
06:11It is strong.
06:11It's always been strong, honestly.
06:14Besides Lindsay and Kiki, did you have any sparks with any other Bravo celebrities?
06:19There needs to be more.
06:21There needs to be 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.
06:36Yes.
06:36She did insinuate that, and she's wrong.
06:38And I told her that.
06:41And 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 instance that she's talking about is wrong.
06:50What are the odds that Sally and Shep will hook up again?
06:53Uh-uh.
06:53No.
06:53No.
06:54Okay.
06:54Uh-huh.
06:54Okay.
06:55All right.
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 Summer 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.
07:37Southern 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.
07:55Shep's overly poetic paragraph-long text messages to Sienna.
07:59Ew.
08:00Okay.
08:01JT 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.
08:17Um, chef's fondness for gifting his paramour shark-toothed necklaces.
08:21Alarming.
08:22Okay.
08:22Thank 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 Should Craig Regret It?
08:38Since judging Craig comes to you so easily, this should be a breeze.
08:43Should 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 because I don't think that anyone said to him, like, I don't know.
08:55I may have said it.
08:57Oh.
08:58And, well, I think that he thinks that it's true.
09:01Uh, should Craig regret saying he won't associate with Benita anymore?
09:07No.
09:08Uh, should Craig regret offering you 30K to retain ownership over your podcast?
09:13He should, but he doesn't.
09:15Okay.
09:15Should Craig regret telling Patricia that JT called her a bitch?
09:20He should, but he won't.
09:21Should Craig regret working with a spritz competitor instead of with Kyle?
09:25No, the beverage, the beverage business is big enough for the both of them.
09:29Absolutely.
09:30Should Craig regret being dishonest about the status of his lost school, graduation, and
09:34bar application?
09:35That was before my time, but yes.
09:37Should Greg 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.
09:51He was sitting on his front steps.
09:52It was very, very strange.
09:54Quirk 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.
10:02Should Craig regret calling Lindsay?
10:03Should Craig regret calling Lindsay Hubbard the biggest loser in the world?
10:08That's crazy.
10:09Okay.
10:10Clearly 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?
10:31Let 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.
10:43Okay.
10:43Thank you very much, Austin.
10:45All right.
10:48It's the Shotsky Siren.
10:50You both know what to do.
10:53Come on over, guys.
10:56This is going to be lopsided.
10:58Okay.
10:59One, two, three.
11:04It's so lopsided.
11:05You can get your own Shotsky.
11:07It's shopbybravo.com.
11:08Coming up, we have more with Madison and Austin.
11:11Don't miss the night show.
11:12Kyle Richards and Representative Robert Garcia are here after the super-sized season premiere
11:18of Beverly Hills.
11:21Shotsky!
11:21All right, welcome back to Watch What Happens Live.
11:35I am Andy Cohen in a deep kiki with Madison LaCroix and Austin Pearl 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.
11:54All right.
11:54Yes.
11:55Drinking game reminder, anytime you hear this word, drink until like Madison and Austin tonight.
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.
12:17Yeah.
12:18He wanted to put on eyeliner.
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.
12:38Yes.
12:38Wait, two weeks?
12:39You're carrying very small.
12:41Yes.
12:41So my question's for you, Madison.
12:43What?
12:44Can you describe who you think Austin's perfect match is and who from the Bravo universe you
12:51would like to set him up with?
12:53Oh, my God.
12:54There's only one match for Austin.
12:56And his name is Craig.
12:57Craig.
12:58Yes.
12:58Damn.
12:59Come on.
13:00Just do it.
13:01No.
13:01Wait.
13:02We've got to do that again.
13:04This is a set up.
13:05Okay.
13:06I mean, I think Austin should pursue Kiki.
13:09I agree.
13:10Actually, I was...
13:11She's been sending me some girls recently and I'm like, okay, Madison, keep them coming.
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.
13:24Oh, because do you feel like she's out of your league?
13:26I mean, yes.
13:27She is.
13:27Yes.
13:27Yes.
13:27Right.
13:28She might be.
13:29Yes.
13:29But that's okay.
13:30Yes.
13:30I'll pick the coverage.
13:31I only have one thing going for me, Andy, and it's your favorite thing to make.
13:33Your height.
13:34Yes.
13:34Okay.
13:35In 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, no.
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...
13:59He's in my candle studio.
14:00I have a candle made the Andy Cohen.
14:03Oh, thank you.
14:05Does he smell good?
14:08Yeah, it's woodsy elegance.
14:11All right.
14:12It's snow.
14:13Does it smell like a Vegas strip club?
14:15All right.
14:15Well, 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.
14:27I've been dying to know.
14:28What is your reaction to the video of Shep ranting about Craig and Paige's relationship at Bravo Con 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.
14:51And 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.
14:58We just need 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.
15:12He thinks that's, he thinks that Paige and Craig didn't go through what he went through with 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, like, at the reunion, you know, he got flogged by Taylor for three hours.
15:28Just three hours?
15:29He got flogged by Paige at her reunion.
15:32Yeah.
15:33Okay.
15:34Yeah, I, so I, what was the question?
15:37I don't know.
15:38Okay.
15:39Three.
15:40Okay.
15:41Madison, Ava B said you wasted no time telling Audrey about Sally's crush on Austin.
15:46Were 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 this guy.
16:06He might hurt your heart.
16:08This guy?
16:08What about?
16:09Well.
16:10So, so it's my fault that Sally has a thing for me.
16:14No.
16:14Okay.
16:15But you said to her face that you liked her, too.
16:19Who?
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 crabs.
16:31And since Madison lovingly refers to Austin as her gay best friend, let's see if these two 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.
16:55Damn it.
16:56Um, how 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?
17:19Three, two, one.
17:20Molly.
17:21She's not a newbie.
17:23She's not a newbie.
17:23Kind of.
17:24Charlie or Wittner?
17:26Three, two, one.
17:27Wittner.
17:28What?
17:28Say it.
17:29Okay.
17:30Okay.
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?
17:52Three, 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 are not going to say you nor Sheps.
18:01Who's the voice of reason in this friend group?
18:03Rodrigo or Madison?
18:04Three, two, one.
18:05Me.
18:06Madison.
18:07Who 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 tonight's Watch What Happens Live.
18:19Be and be right back.
18:20Be and be right back.
18:24Be and be right back.
18:29Watch what happens now.
18:31Watch what happens now.
18:34What happens now.
18:35All right.
18:35Welcome back to Watch 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?
18:52Uh, no.
18:54I 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 thought I did, too.
19:08No, you know, too.
19:09He has what?
19:09Better hair?
19:10She has...
19:11I didn't see.
19:12Than Austin?
19:13He has good hair.
19:13I just...
19:14He has objectively better hair than you.
19:16Oof.
19:16No.
19:17That hurts.
19:17No, but, I mean, you have nice hair.
19:19It's just red.
19:20And you've got a full head around.
19:22No, that was a trigger for him.
19:23No, he's not.
19:24Is Austin a ginch?
19:25No, he's not.
19:26Really?
19:27Wait a minute.
19:28Are you a ginch 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.
20:04Our theme song is better.
20:06It just is.
20:07I don't even think they have a theme song.
20:09Okay.
20:09Why?
20:10Our theme song is better.
20:10Yes.
20:11No, I agree.
20:12Our theme song might be the best theme song ever on.
20:14I totally agree.
20:16Vanderpump Rules.
20:17Now that it's gone, though.
20:18Okay.
20:18Well, no.
20:18Vanderpump 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.
20:28Okay.
20:28Number two, Austin.
20:31I might change mine.
20:32Yeah.
20:33Okay.
20:33You're killing me.
20:34Well, these are boring.
20:35Okay.
20:35Okay.
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.
20:42Okay.
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.
20:51Right.
20:52Madison, Madison.
20:53Okay.
20:54Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
20:55All right.
20:55Your move, Summerhouse.
20:56I want to thank Madison, Austin, and Eric for being here.
20:59I really want to hope it was Craig.
21:00We said it 27 times.
21:03We've been playing our drinking game.
21:05No driving.
21:06We'll see you tomorrow night.
21:06Kyle Richards is here after the premiere of Beverly Hills.
21:10See you later, everybody.
