6 times Shep Rose has proven he isn’t the jerk he seemed to be on last night’s ‘Southern Charm’

When the season 4 preview of “Southern Charm” was released this past February, I worried that things might not look so good for Hilton Head Island native Shep Rose this year.

The preview showed him drunk and beligerent and possibly even kissing Landon, which is just tragic if true. Also it looked like his issues with Craig Conover were going to get worse.

Not that Shep didn’t speak his mind in season 3, but at the end of the day he appeared to care about his friends.

And he does.

If you don’t believe me, ask Andrew Carmines, owner of Hudson’s Seafood on the Docks on Hilton Head.

On Tuesday night’s episode of “Southern Charm,” though, Shep got into aggro arguments with Craig (he basically told him he was so annoying that he was being kept out of group texts) and with Landon (because he told her the truth about her horrid behavior).

Fans of the show even noticed Shep’s attitude and weighed in on Twitter:

If you’re a fan of Shep and his bon vivant personality, aw shucks accent and his rampant case of thesaurus-mouth, please don’t fear. It’s OK to still love him, and here’s why:

1. He responds to fans on Twitter.

2. He gives credit where credit is due.

3. He knows that ranch dressing is disgusting.

4. I mean, look at him. He’s adorable.

5. He still loves Craig even though Craig is so Craig-ish.

6. He came home to help after Hurricane Matthew.
