Emmy Sharrett

When speaking with BravoTV.com moments before the reunion, Emmy Sharrett revealed she was “excited” and a “little nervous” about the group’s first reunion. She also mentioned that she talked to Southern Charm’s Madison LeCroy, Summer House’s Ciara Miller, and her boss, Leva, for some advice, noting that “they were all very helpful.”

As for where Emmy stands with her castmates, she kept it sweet by saying, “I’m professional with everyone at work.”

Joe Bradley, Bradley Carter, and Will Kulp

The Republic trio, aka Joe BradleyBradley Carter, and Will Kulp, also shared the same feelings of “excitement” heading into the final sit-down of the season. However, Will managed to seek positive reinforcement from Austen Kroll to help shake off some nerves. “I asked Austen for some advice when I saw him in New York a few weeks ago,” he said.

Oisin O’Neill

Southern Hospitlaity’s rookie Oisin O’Neill made quite an impact on Season 2, and he plans to do the same on the reunion, revealing that he was “fully twerked” to reunite with the cast. To prepare for his first time in the Clubhouse, Oisin shared that he conversed with Vanderpump RulesScheana Shay and Brock Davies, who told him to “enjoy the moment and take it all in.”

Maddi Reese

VIP manager and DJ Maddi Reese had a different take on her first reunion appearance, as she admitted to being “anxious” to confront the group. Unfortunately, she forgot to contact any Bravolebs for advice, but did disclose that she regrets not contacting Olivia Flowers for tips “on how to prepare and destress.”

Grace Lilly

Queen of “Wavy Baby,” Grace Lilly, admitted that she was “ready” to face everyone, as they “have so much to talk about” for their first reunion. Like her BFF Maddi, Grace also failed to solicit words of encouragement from anyone.

Who was the last person the Southern Hospitality cast texted before the reunion?
