Chelsea Meissner

Chelsea Meissner grew up on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina and moved to Charleston nine years ago. Known for having a strong work ethic, Chelsea is a master hair care stylist at a salon in Charleston, and is working toward owning her own salon. Not only strong in business, but this past year she remodeled and decorated her new home on James Island to perfectly fit her lifestyle and accommodate her favorite furry companion – her rescue pitbull Tyson. Chelsea’s passion for travel lead her to meet her boyfriend, Nick Dana, who is a professional sailor for the America’s Cup. When the resident outdoors girl isn’t exploring outside of Charleston, she can be found on the water: surfing, fishing or boating. Even with her adventurous spirit, it’s her close bond with her family that she places the most value on.

@AustenKroll

Austen finds himself in Charleston by way of Charlotte, NC. After graduating from the University of Alabama, this adventurous stargazer spent his time traveling everywhere from the Rocky Mountains to New Zealand. Charleston was the obvious choice to settle down after years spent vacationing with his family on Kiawah Island. On the heels of a tough year that saw Austen on the outs with his close friend, broken up with his girlfriend, and struggling to kick off his dream business, he is more determined than ever to turn his luck around. This season, he’s established new boundaries in his friendship with Shep, mended his relationship with Madison, and tweaked the recipe for his newly-named beer. Immersed in the local craft beer scene, Austen has made a name for himself in the industry. His very own Kings Calling brew, Trop Hop, made its debut at the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, and is now sold in bars and retailers throughout the state.

Leva Bonaparte

Leva Bonaparte

Admittedly a bit complicated, Leva’s life is one of culturally-diverse experiences. She is Persian and was born in India, but spent her years growing up in Canada and Bolivia. She began traveling to the Deep South after her family’s multi-national business expanded into Charleston 18 years ago. It was there that she met her husband Lamar, a Charleston native with whom she shares a two-year old son. Aside from being mom and dad, she and Lamar are also business partners dominating the Charleston nightlife and hospitality scene. This season, Leva is on a quest to alter the social landscape of her adopted hometown, advocating for a “new south” that embraces her family’s varied culture and promises a brighter future. After years of mingling with the charmers in the same social circles, she does not shy away from tough conversations with her friends and unapologetically calls them out in the hope of shifting their perspectives.

Madison LeCroy

Born in Greenville, SC, Madison has experienced everything that the low country has to offer. She attended the Carolina College of Hair Design at a young age to pursue her passion for hair and makeup artistry. After years spent moving up the ranks, she is now the most sought-after hair and makeup artist in Charleston, SC. She currently owns a thriving downtown salon and has her sights set on expanding the space and giving life to her vision. Though Madison values her career and has enjoyed much success in the beauty industry, there is nothing more important to her than being a mother to her eight-year-old son Hudson. When she is not working, she and her son can be found fishing, working on school projects, and watching his favorite movies. He is her biggest fan and her goal in life is to guide him toward becoming a great man. This season, she finds herself at a crossroad in her relationship with Austen, which is only made more complicated by her butting heads with Shep.

John Pringle

A seventh-generation Charleston native, John attended the University of Georgia, where he became good friends with Shep, and remains an avid Bulldogs fan to this day. After college, he left for NYC to learn the family commodity business firsthand. His life in the city inspired his passion for songwriting, which led to the release of his first LP “Strange Points of View.” John went on to record two EPs – “Midnight Mass on the Williamsburg Bridge” and “Simple Act” – and toured extensively behind them. Though his music led him down a transient path, John feels his life truly began in Los Angeles with the birth of his first son Quinn and younger son Asher, who arrived 16 months later. Though his marriage to ex-wife Heidi was short-lived, they remain friends who co-parent to the best of their abilities. New opportunities bring John back to Charleston this year, as he looks to return the family business to the place where the Pringles have long-thrived. He still enjoys playing music and hopes to perform live shows now that he is home.
