Emily tells Daddy Warbucks she’s moving to Vegas. The look on Daddy’s face…chilling. The look on Mom’s face, like Daddy was going to kick her ass over this.
Kellie announces she’s moving to Chicago with her Jeff, even though he doesn’t want a child. (Don’t do it, Kellie)  Julie Smith
Julie is in a fashion show arranged by Russ…in Louisville. Every one is very young. She’s accustomed to old fashioned modeling, in this show she will have to dance. Julie looks great, but against the young ones, she definitely looks 35. Nevertheless, the show goes well for Julie
The girls help Emily pack, tears, tears, tears. Except Shea.
Now to Jeff and Shea: They look at a house this time, Jeff loves it, Shea just doesn’t want to be bothered with a house. She shows Jeff more condos, pushing, pushing. Determined. He seems almost as determined.
The girls throw Emily a going away party. Julie goes after a young’un named Jesse, officially becoming a cougar.
Hadley is so afraid Russ will break her heart, she chooses they remain friends.
Jeff takes Shea back to his dream house. She gives in! Or she switched strategy. Kellie packs up and drives off, only to return immediately.
Two months later, Shea’s mother died and she broke up with Jeff, who was screwing around. Rumor has it that he’s seeing the lawyer-politician Hadley tried to work for.
Will this show return for a second season? Who knows.
 Emily Gimmel
Emily, Shea, Hadley and Kellie get together, and Shea shows off the ring. She can’t brag about it, however, because Emily will not STFU about her hair. This makes Shea cry. What grade is this again? Never mind.
Daddy throws an engagement party for Shea. Jeff felt like a fish out of water at such an elaborate affair. Shea condescends to Hadley about her broken relationship with Sterling. Shea thinks she’s counseling her.
Kellie can certainly find the ones with the cash. She’s dating a wealthy guy living in Chicago.
Kellie invites all of them over for a slumber party. Emily proceeds to get wasted , no one was amused.
Julie does a fashion show for middle-aged designs. Poor girl. Modeling has a very short career span. Ask Tyra Banks.
Hadley shows up at a football game with her friend Russ, Shea feels the need to stick her nose in.
Jeff doesn’t want to have a nanny raising the children, Shea won’t have it any other way. He’s also worried that she is becoming bridezilla, which she absolutely will do. He may be leaving on the midnight train to Georgia!
Hadley and Julie attend an MS charity gala, and Russ shows up with a tall gorgeous young blonde. Hadley (with a flower in her hair) is visibly shaken. So jealous.
Daddy Warbucks wants Emily to take a job in Louisville. He muscled some radio personality guy in Louisville to let her co-host a radio show.
Three more episodes are slated. Maybe I’ll watch, if only because of Emily Gimmel and the unstoppable Shea . I may be hooked.

Southern Belles revisited.
Perhaps it’s the “After-School Special” narration. Maybe it’s the dull story lines of these not-so-independent women. Or the entire premise of a reality show originating in Louisville, Kentucky of all places. Whatever the reason, I can’t get into these women.
Emily Gimmel, 24, is really more Orange County than Kentucky. The amount of makeup on her face makes look much older. Her father is a skeevy ( to borrow a New Jersey phrase) control freak to say the least. Her mother has that beaten-down look of a woman with a broken spirit. But he who holds the purse strings…….she live with her parents. Her narcissism rivals that of Vicki Gunvalson.
Kellie Frey 32, is twice divorced and came out on the short end of the divorce settlement. She decides to start a matchmaking business, aptly named Dating Sucks.
Hadley Hartz 26, is likeable and normal, with commitment issues. Too normal for reality TV. She dates nice guy Sterling, but really likes the not-so-nice types. She works as a personal assistant, and gasp!…they show her in a Laundromat.
Shea Johnson is the most complex character. She’s attempting to force her cheating boyfriend into marrying her.In fact, she and her equally skeevy father begin planning the wedding long before the proposal. From what I’ve read, he backed out (ran for the hills is more like it)
Julie Smith, 35, was a successful model in the south. Apparently she never thought about life after modeling. As the token African-American in the mix, she has virtually no storyline, and virtually no connection to the other women. Bad call, Soapnet. I’ve been to retirement parties that were more fun than her sad 35th birthday party. the saddest thing was the pink flower in her hair.
Why do these women wear flowers and childish barrettes in their hair? Maybe it’s a southern thing.

southern belles get real Hadley’s Heart Emily
They all go out for a night on the town, Hadley and Russ as a couple,Shea interferes. Shea must be sexually attracted to Russ, or just a control freak . Or jealous. She needs to worry about her own man, who has that “I’m out of here” look in his eye.
Back in Vegas, Emily decides to stay in Vegas…but is afraid to tell Daddy Warbucks.
Kellie, along with Julie, goes to a fertility doctor. She can have a baby, but the Chicago guy is not willing.
Shea takes Jeff to a ballroom dancing class..to impress the wedding guests. Bridezilla Shea controls the lesson, meaning it’s no fun for Jeff.
Julie’s Dad ( Julie finally has a connection to someone) shows up to fix things in her apartment and give her fatherly advice about having children. Great-looking guy. He seems disappointed in her. She babysits four children, to “test the waters” , to see if she could come out of herself long enough to meet someone else’s needs.
Hadley and Russ seem great together. There’s a spark between them that’s just not there between Jeff and Shea. Hadley can’t stop smiling when she looks at him. He thinks he could give up his playboy ways for her, so he says.
 Hadley Hartz
Emily goes on a date in Vegas with Jeremy. Daddy Warbucks will love the scene with Jeremy and Emily dancing! She also talks to Nancy O’Dell of Access Hollywood about family and career. Emily was completely star struck , and worried about telling Daddy.
Shea’s a bitch! Russ confronts Shea about her interference in his relationship with Hadley at Hadley’s birthday party. Good for him. What a shit-stirrer she is! So fucking self-righteous. She sticks to her guns about her dislike of him.
Russ gives Hadley a birthday speech, says he loves her, and Shea calls it bullshit. She’s a younger version of Vicki Gunvalson from The Real Housewives of Orange County
In the end, Russ flirts with another girl in the bar, Hadley looks devastated, and Shea gives the biggest evil smile ever.
