It’s Gonna Get HOT in Savannah!!!

Okay so I have to admit that I haven’t watched this type of reality show since college.  I don’t watch the Jersey Shore or The Real World (anymore), so it definitely brought me back to my younger wilder days!  CMT’s Southern Nights is the like a combo of Bachelor PAD, Jersey Shore and The Real World, with a little SOULE added in for good measure.

CMT took 10 fan favorites (or not so favorites in Landon’s case) from Sweet Home Alabama and put them in a house in Savannah, Georgia to live together for a couple of months. (not sure on the time frame, but it was long enough to get some drama, partying and romance in)

The cast is as follows…

Kristina – (our Favorite OClicious Doll) – 21 – from Orange County Ca.; she was on Tribble’s season of SHA

Devin – 21 – From Alabama – She was the original Bachelorette on SHA

Cassie – Kansas – She was also on Tribble’s season

Tristan – 23 – From Alabama – Tribble’s final pick (although they are no longer together and she brought her boyfriend with her who is also a former cast member from Devin’s Season

Cody – Alabama – A Rodeo Cowboy and Tristan’s current flame.  - He has some great ‘one liners’ throughout the first episode

Courtney – Alabama – a nursing student from Tribble’s season

Jersey Jeff – 26 – from Jersey…lol – From Devin’s Season

Collin – 22 – Alabama – From Devin’s season…oh btw he is still in love with her – Can you say awkward?

Landon or Tex – From Fort Worth Texas – a firefighter from Paige’s Season of SHA – also a controversial character especially among the guys from Paige’s Season – He will be good for some DRAMA.

And FLEX – or Michael – the oldest member of the cast at 31, a personal trainer from Las Vegas.

So they move them into a FOUR STORY house in Savannah with a pool and of course a hot tub.  I tried really hard to find a picture of the house online, but couldn’t.  Yet another place I would like to live without the cameras!  They of course have them all rooming with other cast members, although it is FOUR STORIES and HUGE!  They have those great night vision camera’s for the bedrooms, which means that NO ONE will be getting away with anything without it being caught on CAMERA!  Love it!  So immediately here are the things you should know….

Collin still has a thing for Devin, but Devin ‘kind of’ has a boyfriend, Collin and Flex DO NOT like each other, and ALL the guys think Cassie is HOT and would like to spend sometime in the as Tristan called it “boom boom” room, if you know what I mean.

Cody and Tristan grew up together, but didn’t start dating until after their respective stints on SHA, it is Cody’s first ‘REAL’ relationship and apparently they thought it was a good idea to put it to the ultimate test and join another reality show??  Cody, is hilarious.  When Landon walks in, he says “He could Eat me”.

Cassie and Jersey Jeff (who we find out later has the best ‘game’ in the house of all the guys) are the Cassie Pro-Claimed “party coaches” – so much for sweet farm girl Cassie from Sweet Home Alabama!  LOVE IT! Landon or Tex as they call him (I think he gave himself that name) seems the odd man out at first, never having met any of the other cast members before.  Jersey Jeff makes it clear he wants Devin, but then later in a drunken state ends up in Cassie’s bed cuddling before she finally kicks him out to get some sleep.  When Jersey Jeff asks Cody if he has a chance with Devin, Cody responds “you have a better chance of scratching a Bobcat’s ass and not getting bit”.  Yet another great one liner from my soon to be favorite male cast member.

So they of course all go out to a bar, long story short…It is a Coyote Ugly type scene with scantily clad bartenders dancing on the bar.  Tristan is a tad jealous of the female attention Cody get’s, but he quickly falls back into line and she is fine.  They all get smashed, go back to the house, however the guys have invited the bartenders back, which of course then leads to drama.  I am totally with OClicious on this one though.  The guys told the bartenders it was okay to wear the other girls swimsuits…EWWE.  That is like sharing underwear with a stranger…oh wait that is EXACTLY what it is.  GROSS!  Kristina sets them straight with the other girls help.  This of course makes the bartenders mad and they leave which leaves Landon/Tex alone and pouting in the hot tub.  YES POUTING.

They of course all head out again to another club the next night.  Although I don’t think OClicious went with them, wonder why?  I will have to ask her and get back to you.  She seems like she is going to be the good girl in the house.  :) The guys get into a brawl and get thrown out, but not before a couple of them secure some girls to come back to the house with them.  Seriously it was like they were in a contest to see who could score first.  Pardon my language.  Collin’s girl (who he met at the gym) vomits all over the couch, yet he still “wants to get to know her”.  He used the term “over-served”.  I use the term over-ordered and drunk.  Courtney comes up with a term for the girls the guys are bringing back to the house..instead of Southern Belles, they are Southern Hussies…LOL – good one Courtney!  Landon of course is injured from the bar brawl and is taken to the hospital because he is urinating blood….And that is pretty much where they leave you until next time.  If I would have been speaking that I would be out of breath!

Now to the important part, the Gypsy Soule!  OF course our OClicious Doll walks in ROCKIN her Gypsy Soule with our now famous Earrings!!  LOVE THAT BLING!!!Tristan chooses these classic, go with anything and everything earrings.  I have these and I love these!!!  Our awesome multi-cross super bling necklace always makes a statement.  Now I know we don’t have anymore in the warehouse, but I am sure our dealers have some left in stock, so hurry and get it now!
Talk about RockerChic Bring on the Bling OClicious!  Love that bracelet and those earrings!  Kristina’s tag line should be “Bling Me Up Kristina”!  She is looking hot in this outfit let me tell you.  What you can’t see are the white shorts and black cowboy boots!  Bringing a little country into her OC style.  We LOVE IT!

Cassie gets into the Gypsy Soule action in the previews for next week, and we can’t wait to see what else these girls rock this season!

Okay well that’s it for Reality Wrap-Up this week, until next time, ROCK YOUR SOULE!!!
