The Southern Charm Season 11 reunion is sure to deliver plenty of drama. But according to Salley Carson, one cast member faced most of the finger-pointing and conflict.
The South Carolina native teased the multi-part special during her February 11 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, when the titular host read a fan-submitted question directed at Salley.

“Now that you’ve filmed the reunion, who is in the hot seat the most, would you say?” Andy Cohen asked.
“Um, I would say, probably, Craig,” Salley responded.
“Yeah, I thought so, too,” Andy added.

Salley Carson addresses Craig Conover & Austen Kroll’s friendship rift
The teaser wasn’t too surprising, as Craig has endured multiple tiffs throughout Season 11. In episodes 3 and 4, Craig got into a heated exchange with his longtime friend/business partner Austen Kroll. Craig accused Austen of being “unhappy” in his relationship with Audrey Pratt, and claimed Austen was “jealous” of his single life. The drama continued at Austen’s birthday dinner (Episode 9), which found Craig breaking the fourth wall.
“You are a different person when you film,” he told Austen, who responded by labeling Craig “the liar of all liars.”
“I’m the exact same person on camera,” Craig insisted. “We don’t need to be friends anymore.”
Salley was asked about the dramatic scene during her February 11 Clubhouse appearance.
“Now that you’ve seen some of the things that Craig has said about you this season, do you agree with Austen that it is actually Craig who is different on and off camera?” an audience member asked.
“100%,” Salley replied. “Yeah. When I heard that come out of Craig’s mouth, I was like, ‘The audacity that you have to say that to Austen,’ because [Craig] is very calculated on camera.”
Salley Carson confesses her feelings for Craig Conover
Salley and Craig entered Season 11 on what appeared to be a flirtatious note. In Episode 7, Salley told Craig she had developed romantic feelings for him and was interested in taking their relationship to the next level.
“I mean, me and you have obviously gotten to be really good friends,” she told Craig. “But, like, I’ve been kinda catching some feelings. I’m saying I’m liking you. Like, I can date you.”

Craig explained that his feelings for Salley were strictly platonic, which confused her.
“I guess if you don’t see yourself being in a relationship, or moving down that path, then why are me and you hanging out in the hot tub until 4 a.m.?” she asked.
“Because I was like, ‘Oh, cool, maybe we might, like, do something. Maybe this might go somewhere,’” Craig said. “But then, it didn’t.”
