the take
we think Charlie got a raw deal this season, with everyone deciding to ice him out, when honestly he's the best thing Next Gen has going. the funny part is how the comments turned: last season people were surprised when we said we liked how unapologetic he is, and now everyone likes Charlie. people also say he rolled up in baggy jeans and Timbs like he wasn't trying, but he's always wearing designer. our best guess on the jeans is Margiela, but who knows. we stand by it: he's hilarious, and the show is more fun with him in the room.
this is the hosts' commentary and speculation for entertainment, not a statement of fact about anyone in it.
the backstory
Charlie Zakkour has been in the Next Gen NYC cast since season 1, and Peacock's season 1 cast guide described him as a longtime fixture of New York nightlife. Season 2 started with him on the outs. In Bravo's after show for the premiere, the cast reacts to Charlie leaving the group chat. Bravo also posted a season 2 clip titled "Charlie Zakkour Sparks Major Distrust in the Group." His feud with Georgia McCann was still a topic at the reunion, which aired in two parts in September 2026. Whether he got a raw deal is the opinion part, and that's ours.
