Jesse, meanwhile, insists there’s “no beef” between him and West, describing his own relationship with Ciara as “fun and flirty.” As Amanda cautions that “there’s a lot more to it than was even touched on in the trailer,” West, who does say the flirtatious nature between Jesse and Ciara is nothing new, admits he didn’t see it all in real time: “I don’t know how that’s going to change either.”

Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s marital problems will be at the center of Summer House season 10. “I wanted him to stop going out and partying, and he found a career (as a DJ) where he’s out late and parties,” Amanda, 34, says in a voiceover during the season 10 supertease, which dropped during Reality (‘s…) ”

Content creator Dara Levitanfor his part, he has a past with West. “It was a long time ago. She’s a good friend,” she says. “I would never bring anyone into this house who I thought would give me more trouble. We’re very cool and platonic, he’s a fun person.”

The biggest explosion yet
Carl Radke and Kyle Cooke
Kareem Black/Bravo (2)Over Labor Day weekend, Kyle and fellow OG Carl end up getting physical. “It was a build-up from the whole summer,” says Carl we of the conflict with his best friend. “It’s a rollercoaster ride. (The dinner) starts out light and fun. Something comes up, then it starts to get tense, then it gets light… Then, it starts to get crazy.”
Jesse says we that the problem stemmed from “Kyle putting his foot in his mouth,” which Kyle may have. “It was a very unpredictable outbreak,” he says. “It was a microcosm of how I felt for most of the summer, where I don’t want people to take sides, I want friends to understand where I was coming from. I felt misunderstood.”
Where are Lindsay and Carl?
There was a lot of talk about Lindsay’s role in this season of Summer House after giving birth to daughter Gemma between seasons. She confirmed it we which filmed three summer weekends, but its impact is likely to extend beyond a handful of episodes. Calling herself “Mother Hubbard,” she also admits, “I think it was, like, half guiding (the rookies) and then half stirring the pot.” Lindsay later clarifies, “And then half of that pot removal was accidental, and the other half of the pot removal was on purpose.”
Season 10 will also mark the second summer where exes Lindsay and Carl are in the same house after ending their engagement. In November, we spotted the two apparently getting along at BravoCon, hinting that there may be an update on their road to friendship in Season 10.
“I was so happy. Within the first 10 minutes of being (at BravoCon), I walked into one of the rooms, Kyle and Amanda were there, Lindsay was there. I was with Jesse and West, and I went up to Lindsay and she gave me a hug. And I looked at Kyle and I was like, ‘She gave me a hug.’ we. “We had a friendship and a bond before we were together … And over this past summer, which you’ll see, it’s been really nice. You’ll see us, I think, grow closer and be more cordial and even have a little more closure, maybe.”
Lindsay, on the other hand, uses the term “friendly” over friends.
“I’m not a very black and white person. I live in a bit of a gray area, and that’s probably the dynamic of only being on reality TV for a decade, but I don’t have the opportunity to live in a very black and white world like most people in the civilian world do. And I would say I’m friends with Carl,” she says. “There’s a point where I think things change for Carl and I, where you’ll see why I might consider us friends at this present moment.”
Amanda adds, “I wouldn’t label them as friends just yet, but I think there might be a chance they could rekindle something, we’ll see.” When asked what “rekindle” means, he quickly clarifies, “Oh no, a friendship, a friendship!”
Summer House premieres on Bravo on Tuesday, February 3rd at 8:00 PM EST and airs the following day on Peacock.
