Just like its Bravo sibling The Real Housewives, Southern Charm has built up a huge fanbase who can't wait to hear what the stars will say next. Each cast member brings their voice to the show, and that results in some entertaining quotes, as some of the reality stars are big partiers and others, like Cameran and Patricia, are more relatable and down to earth.
Whether Shep and Craig are fighting, Patricia is proving why she's the most sophisticated cast member, or Cam is telling it like it is, the cast of Southern Charm are famous for their memorable quotes. These statements are the ones that have stood out the most to fans over 7 seasons.
"You're just unhappy with yourself. Why else would you come at me all the time?"
Over all 7 seasons of Southern Charm, fans have watched the super close friendship between Shep and Craig. The two often feel more like siblings than pals, as they make fun of each other in a light-hearted way. Sometimes, things get a bit more tense between them, like when Craig said this to Shep in season 4. Fans can learn lessons from Southern Charm, and that often includes looking at a long-running friendship and seeing how both parties treat each other.
Craig was honestly asking Shep why they had so much conflict, and it was tough to see such good friends arguing. But as is often the case with a fight on a reality TV show, it can be hard to pick sides as both stars seem right and wrong.
"What's wrong with my sewing?"
Craig's love of sewing is well-known among fans of this reality series. While it was a hobby at first, Craig is so passionate about sewing that he started a line of pillows and it seems like it's going really well.
Some people weren't so sure about how Craig was spending his time, including his now ex-girlfriend Naomie. This is one of the show's best quotes as Craig was upset and wondering why his friends were judging him so harshly. He just wanted to express his creativity.
“Not everybody wants to be on reality TV.”
When the question of Cam's husband Jason came up at a reunion, Cam said this in response. Fans had been curious about why he didn't film any scenes, but it made sense that she wanted to keep part of her life private.
Like many other Southern Charm quotes, this one is even more meaningful now, as Cam left the show after season 6. She might have been talking about her husband, but now her statement explains how she feels, too. Cam felt that the time was right to say goodbye, and her absence is definitely felt.
"Be straight up with me, either you want to be a f***ing lawyer or you don't."
One of the most dramatic moments on Southern Charm was about Craig's journey to becoming a lawyer. His co-stars weren't sure if he had taken the bar, and there were a lot of questions about this time in his life.
Craig's then-girlfriend Naomie was the one to tell Craig this bold statement in season 4, and fans loved it, as she was trying to clear up the mystery. No one would have minded if Craig had said he didn't want to go into law after all. His friends just wanted him to be honest and find something that made him happy.
“If Kathryn has Thomas Ravenel’s baby, I can guarantee you she won’t work a day in her life.”
Cameran's quote is even more powerful today than it was when she first said it, as fans have watched Kathryn and Thomas's on-again, off-again relationship over several seasons. Cam was simply telling it like it was: since the Ravenels are a wealthy and well-known family, it seemed like Kathryn would have a comfortable life.
Unfortunately, the couple's love story took many twists and turns, and they are co-parenting but no longer together. Viewers appreciated Cam's no-nonsense, realistic attitude, and that's one reason why she's missed on the series.
"I don't have a husband right now, so I fill up the house with butlers. You can't have too many butlers."
Patricia is one of the most likable cast members on Southern Charm as she really embodies a sophisticated lifestyle. Over the years, fans have seen her and her beloved butler, Michael, as he serves her cocktails and helps out at her amazing parties.
This is one of Patricia's best quotes as it's hilarious and explains so much, from the fact that she's been married many times to her fancy lifestyle. The other cast members often visit Patrica for some drinks and advice, and she always takes an interest in their lives, which is so sweet to see. And whatever scene Patricia is in, she's bound to say something compelling.
"Everyone gets a ticket on the hot mess express."
Reality TV fans rely on stars to always what they're thinking, as these blunt statements create entertaining and humorous moments, but they also sometimes speak to the theme of the show. In this case, Cam made this statement and explained that sometimes, Southern Charm is a bit messy.
Cam's quote is a great one since she could have simply said that people were getting a bit wild or dramatic. But instead, she summed up the drama in a clever way, and it worked really well.
"Leisure is what I'm passionate about."
Of the least likable Southern Charm cast members, Shep has lost some fans over the years. He is known for casually dating and surprised viewers when he began a more serious relationship in a recent season.
This quote explains why Shep doesn't work and why he's totally okay with that, and it definitely sums up his personality. He is fairly chill about most things in life, except when he's fighting with Craig, and he seems very comfortable with the lifestyle that he leads.
"I have no interest in an inferior martini."
Patricia once proved her elegance and love of a good drink with this great quote.
Patricia's belief in a well-made martini is definitely a sharp contrast to the way that some of her co-stars party. They might be fine with drinking beer and lots of it, but Patricia has a higher standard, and viewers love this about her. Patricia balances out the wild moments on the show, whether she's talking to her son Whitney, being the perfect dinner party host, or giving etiquette advice.
"The typical Charleston guy has PPS to the tenth degree, which is Peter Pan Syndrome."
The first two seasons of Southern Charm introduced fans to the culture of Charleston and fans saw that the cast members liked to party and casually date.
Cam's quote is an important one since it explained to viewers that they would be seeing a lot of young people having fun and trying not to grow up. This is also a significant quote since Cam was always the "voice of reason" cast member and the person who tried to give the others helpful advice for being more mature and grown-up.
