While Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover are getting in some extra reps heading in to BravoCon weekend, Shep Rose is hoping that this item gets no exercise during the weekend: his bank account.

How to Watch

Watch Southern Charm on Bravo Thursday, December 5 at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

The Southern Charm O.G. exclusively chatted with The Daily Dish about how he's preparing for the Las Vegas-based event. He also revealed how he really feels about the prospect of seeing Tom Schwartz a year after the Vanderpump Rules cast member admitted that he had a bit of a connection going with Shep's ex-girlfriend, Taylor Ann Green. Read on for details.

Shep Rose Reveals How He's Preparing for BravoCon

BravoCon 2023 marks the third time that the Southerner has appeared at the epic Bravo crossover event, so it's no surprise that he needs little preparation. 

"Well I'm on a strict regimen of vegetables," he joked, before admitting that he's not actually doing anything specific to prepare for the three-day event except for one thing.

"I'm going to maybe freeze my assets so I don't gamble my f-cking whole life away," he teased.

He also joked that he's "going to try to stay out of the news [and] not have any [or] too many high profile romantic interludes. "

Well, as the saying goes, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 

Shep Rose Shares an Update on His Friendship with Tom Schwartz

Shep isn't making any major changes ahead of BravoCon, and he's also not looking to squash any sort of beef with Tom Schwartz. 

In case you need a refresher on Shep's dynamic with Schwartz, the latter Bravolebrity said that he had "a rapport going" with Taylor after she admitted she had a crush on him and then boldly introduced herself at a BravoCon panel in 2022. 

Taylor fueled the romance rumors when she attended a New Year's Eve gathering at Schwartz & Sandy's, though Schwartz later said that nothing happened between the two because he's "undateable" and because he's been friends with Shep for a long time.

Though Taylor has now moved on with a new beau, did her connection with Schwartz cause any awkwardness between him and Shep?

Shep confirmed that he's still close with Schwartz during his chat with The Daily Dish.  

"I mean I love to see Schwartz and those guys," Shep said, before sharing who else he's looking forward to seeing at BravoCon.

"I've been, I'm still friendly  I went out to, to lunch in LA with G.G.[Gharachedaghi] and Reza [Farahan], and we had a great lunch," Shep said about the Shahs of Sunset cast members. "We message each other."
