And fun times, fun times. Oh, that's good. I'm glad you had fun over there, Nick's. Little Nicholas's place. Little Nicholas.

Pretty cute. Yeah. Yeah. So there's that. Also, we are going to New York. I'm going to be there two weeks. Ben's going to be there like nine days. We are looking for a hotel.

If there are any hotel people, out there. Call us. Give us a call. Messages on Instagram. We're being shameless because New York is ridiculous. And listen, I've never seen a place that's better with faking their, their pictures online than New York. I've been tricked too many times. It's like dating a real housewife. I'm like, who is this even? Who did you put online in the dating profile? Because that is not the room that I booked. Yeah. Hotels in New York are in fact like housewives. They've definitely have had like a facelift in the lobby, but then the rooms are like the neck. And you're like, you got to take care of the whole thing.

So, yeah. So, you know, like, look, if there are hotel people out there, just let us know because we need to place that we can podcast and also, you know, pop a squat. So, yeah, we're being shameless about it. I'm playing with my own neck waddle while we're shaming people. So, yeah, we're being shameless about it. We'll be there for a while.

So, yeah. Please be done to us. hook us up if you're in midtown so here we are the penultimate episode which i thought it was going to be the season finale i mean it should have been right how long do you think that fight can go oh i can go long time it's carl six point oh is it not the penultimate i don't know because it ended with a to be continued and so when there's a to be continued they don't give you a next time on and if there's no next time on we don't hear them say next time on the season finale and we don't have a Bravo content calendar so we don't know when the season finale is actually are.

So it felt like it was leading towards the season finale. It's the final weekend. Nope. But they may be able to squeeze one more episode out of it because it's a long weekend. Yeah, they will. So it's May 19th is this. May 19th. And I looked it up on the internet.

Did you see how I vamped just long enough for you to go onto the internet like that? So great. Yeah. Oh, actually, you know what's crazy? Hmm. This is my life. I just looked at my calendar and it's like, oh, going to New York for a cabaret. Oh, going here for my cousin's wedding. And then I have it written on my calendar. The 19th is the summer house finale. Why did I put that on my calendar?

That's weird. That's so weird. I'm like, guys, let's mark this down. This will be a day. This will be a day to remember. And it's super weird. Well, it's an important season. You know, people are very, very into it, very, very, very, involved in this episode and this episode i mean i mean you know this really moved the needle for me on the conspiracy theories about west and amanda i have to say the way he pulled up that chair and sat behind amanda in that final scene i was like okay i'm i'm now i really am starting to

believe that something was going on at this point like this was this is mr passive it's like he just wouldn't even pick up and move a chair anyway whether or not there was a fight he just wouldn't pick up a chair. Okay, so here we go. Summer House, season 10, episode 14, the turntables have turned. Wiki wiki. Mm-hmm.

Wiki, wiki. So we start off, we're at Sunrise Day Camp. So I guess we knew that this episode was about to turn rotten towards the end because they give us something like really wholesome and nice in the beginning, which is Jesse, West, Sierra, Carl, and Ben showing up at Sunrise Day Camp, And this is actually a camp for children and their siblings or children who have cancer or cancer survivors who can go to this camp and just feel normal and feel like they don't have to worry.

I don't have to think about things for a summer. They can just have fun, which is really wonderful. So what a lovely thing. Yeah. Let's tear it apart. Let's make fun of it. Let's rip apart. All right.

Let's talk about these kids with cancer. Look at that slut counselor. The counselor is welcoming them all and like, hey, you know, every single one of these counselors have been campers here before. You know, their campers turn staff. So just get to know each other and hang out. And Jesse's like, can we talk about cancer? I mean, you're at a cancer camp. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, you know, they're totally excited. You can talk about whatever you want. But you do have to wear head coverings in. solidarity like we all wear head coverings in solidarity and i hope my friends are listening to this that's cute and uh they were like oh we're around ronnie we should wear a hat because he's sad so they are basically like yeah this is a place where kids can sort of like escape from

you know the scary things in life um like then why did you bring uh jesse there because if he starts singing i don't like let's let's keep this like a nice happy bubble he's like he's got to be me they're like mommy, he ruined our bubble. There's actually a sweet video going around of him, going into a hospital room to sing to a kid with cancer. That's actually adorable. It was sweet. And, you know, it makes it, it's so much cuter because it's like a little kid, you know, and like watching the kid walk away and slam the door behind him was, I mean, it was.

It's like I asked for Rihanna, not this fake Michael Boubley. So it's pretty cute. They're all doing a good thing. It's really nice. I have nothing to say about it. In other words. So then after that, we go to Bailey,

who is having her It Girl party. And Levi's there, of course, because it's a Bailey scene. And Bailey's like, oh, my God, what if people don't come? What if nobody comes?

Like, what if everybody comes? What if it's my first grade birthday party all over again when nobody came? I'm so scared, but it looks so amazing. Am I flirting right now?

am i flirting why does bailey give such why a novel like character energy right like i feel like bailey throws a party and it's like i feel like i'm i'm plucking it out i'm buying it at like the scholastic you know book fair thing you know in school i don't know why she just reminds me of so like like she should have been written by like what's her name rosemary or romana quimby or Ramona Quimby, oh my God. That's the character, I think. Romona Quimby, age eight. Judy Blume.

Oh, Judy Blum. Yeah, that's more. Judy Blum, right. Bailey isn't it, girl? It's like, well, today I got my period. Well, today, well, no, not today. I was going to, anyway, I think that Bailey seems to be kind of playing a role because she's this like, you know, I've said this a million times.

It seems like she's playing somebody on Summer House. She's like this vixen bombshell. I mean, the woman is absolutely stunningly gorgeous. She's stacked. I mean, she's in this dress. I was like, damn, I mean, I'm a homo, okay? And I was like, did I? Yeah.

And she looks, her eyes kind of half closed, and she looks like, reading someone's face, she looks like, this is so stupid. Like, most of the scenes that she does, I feel like she's thinking, this is so stupid. But she's just going along with it. I guess probably for her it girl career. But, you know, I don't necessarily buy her, I guess is what I'm saying. I think she's kind of faking it. And not necessarily with this it girl thing, but all of this Carl, like, oh, my God, I've flirted with Carl, has it going to work out with Carl.

You do not, you're not going to get me to believe. Yeah. For two seconds that this is really going through your mind. I just don't believe it. But I still really like her. I'm looking forward to her season two or three where she, you know, breaks down and has to finally become herself. Yeah.

Bailey is an interesting one for me, because for some, reason. I really enjoy Bailey and Levi. I really enjoy their friendship together. I really adore Bailey. I think Bailey is great. I think Bailey is a great addition to the show. I do too. I just really

love her. But what's weird is that I love her, but I also feel like she has sort of a strange chemistry with the rest of the cast. I feel like the rest of the cast knows who Bailey is and will talk with her, but I feel like she doesn't occupy any space in their minds.

Right. Like I feel like they would just move on, but they just, they continue on with their lives as if Bailey wasn't there. And sometimes they intersect with Bailey. I'm like, oh, hey, Bailey, how's it going? But like you wouldn't think that these are people who like live on the weekends with Bailey. It feels like they're not like really in her life and she's not really in their lives. They just like talk at the table. And it's like weird because normally that means that there's bad chemistry. It's like, oh, they're not fitting in with the rest of the cast. But I actually feel like she's really good on the show. And it seems like everyone likes her and they like them. But it's just, it's a weird chemistry. And I don't normally in these situations, I'm like, yeah, they're nice, but they should go. But I'm like, no, I think she should stay. It works. But do you know what I'm saying? Doesn't it feel like I do.

My theory is, like not impactful? My theory is that the cast doesn't like TikTok people. Like they don't like when they don't like that casting is bringing in social media stars because they don't like Dara either. they don't like Dara either. They think that they're like everybody and they say this about Dara. They're like, Dara's just using KJ for clout and all of this stuff. And I'm like, well, is Dara done anything really that bad? I mean, I can see how they would be like, okay, she came in, she was fording with Ben first, then she switched to KJ, then she was kind of lying about the Ben situation. So I can see how there's like a little bit of that there. But I think it's a lot of it's that

Dara's like a star already on TikTok and Bailey's already a star already on whatever she, whatever, girls, TikTok probably as well. And it seems like they cast kind of others those people. You know, they did it with Lexi last year, although Lexi was supremely annoying. So, I don't know, I don't know if that's just my working theory is that they don't like social

media people. Sort of, yeah, but it's kind of funny because like this show has kind of been weirdly connected with social media. Hannah and Paige came on, they came on via Betches, and so did what's the Jordan Kim. Yeah, but that's not like a TikTok

star. They were like working on. It's not, but it's like adjacent, right? It's still like in that, in that space, like an online influencer space. I think there's just something about being an outsider. And I think it's, I think it's just a little harder in this, on this show right now. And I think like, I think we're just in a female transition at the moment. I think we went through a male transition where they were, the show was trying out different men for a few seasons. And then we finally got West and Jesse who've been great additions regardless of what you think about them they're like they've been great for the show yeah they've been and and so like you know we're just sort of like at a we're just trying out different women right now Lindsay's not really on the show that

much Sierra is not really on the show so we're just trying out different things but um I mean I think that they're gonna I think they'll um did I say Sierra is not really on the show I don't know what I meant by that but um but I see what you mean because They are, it is kind of a guy season. It's all about like the guy, the guy stuff and the girls, you know, Sierra takes a minute to warm up. I mean, not that she's been cold to anybody, but she takes a minute to like become besties with people, you know. Yeah, they may also have that feeling of being like once, bitten twice shy because of Lexi. Of like, okay, let's see what's going on with these new girls.

But like, when was the last time they had a really successful launch of a female, um, member on Summerhouse. I think the last one, Sam got like two seasons, I believe. Well, actually, well, Mia, Mia currently is the one who's gelled. That's actually a huge oversight. Mia is, that's why everyone keeps on saying like, oh my God, Mia fits in perfectly with kind of like the vibe of the house, whereas Bailey just sort of feels a little like left of center in a weird way. And I don't know why it is, but I think she's great. Yeah. All right. So, So she's Nick girl. It's time for a commercial.

It's time for a crap and's commercial. So we're at the A Girl Party. I don't even know what I'm monologing about. Like I literally am like, I just sat here talking, taking a stance about something that I don't even know what I'm taking a stance on right now. What's your show? You're allowed. What your stance is that Bailey seems to be off to the side, which I think is true. And it's like no one's mean to her, but she's off to the side.

I mean, I think that's a good point. Yeah, it's fun to kind of like drill down into like, why is she off to the side? And I realized that whatever theory I was starting to hatch is completely bullshit. And so, I don't have to start from round zero and I'll square one. I'll figure it out, guys. Don't worry. So she tells us about it, girl. She's like, I started this two years ago.

It was so silly, but now it's my full-time job and it's changed my life in every way. And so it means everything to be. And it's like, oh my God, it's like so insane. How far you going? I can't believe you. I love me so much. Don't cry, please. I love you. Okay, don't you dare cry. Okay, the party planner is not allowed to cry. Rule number one event planning.

You say, I don't know. I don't say, I brought you a sweet green salad to make up for the bad one you had that time. So people start to arrive and they're like, oh, Lindsay, you look stunning. She's like, yeah, thank you. I just threw whatever on. No big deal. She's like, yeah, well, you're enough. So it doesn't matter. You could always look great. Yeah, thanks. And so other people show up. And Amanda goes up to Lindsay and she's like, oh my God, you, like ran off the other night. She's like, yeah, I had to relieve my nanny. I was also like soul rattled because I saw Sharon. I mean, like, have you ever seen anyone

who could rattle you, Derek, or like, Sharon? Oh, my God. Sharon basically bombarded me. And we see a flashback to Sharon being like, can I get a hug, lady with the short hair? Wow, so someone's not spending time with their daughter. Oh, what a shot. Someone's at a bar instead of being at home with their kid.

How you doing, Lindsay? A little skinny there, aren't you? It is funny to think about being bombarded by Sharon because like really what happened, what Lindsay didn't see was like five minutes of Sharon going through the crowd, being like, oh, excuse me, oh, I'm just going to get by. Oh, excuse me? Oh, I'm just going to get by. She was trying to stealth her.

Yeah, it was in a bombardment. It was more like a stuff. Yeah, it was just a funny way to describe. Sharon. But Lindsay is like, I'm like, oh, you know, like, last time I saw her was like my bridal shower. And then we see them in happier times. Although, was it really happier times? No, Lindsay's saying, telling her at the bridal shower. I talked to Carl earlier and he mentioned that you had some concerns about us getting married. And Sharon was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, Lindsay. I do have some concerns. Why are you cursing? Just force of habit. So, yeah. see Sharon last night brought up like a lot of like her like she caused me and like you have to keep in mind I was like very very very very very very close with Sharon for like almost like a decade and Amanda's like yeah you saw her as like a literal mother figure so yeah Lindsay is like yeah you know you have ups and downs um but like look at no point are Kyle's parents going on national television saying you should break up with like with her I'm like that's because Kyle's parents are drunk right now

They've got other things to do. Yeah, but your parents, Amanda, did go on national television until you not to marry Kyle. And they said they wanted Kyle to sign that document that said he would pay back everything that the wedding costs if he broke it off or if he cheated or something like that. Do you remember that? The dad was like, you need to sign a contract. It is. But that was after Kyle cheated, which is a huge diff as well. It is really funny because you see Amanda's parents are like gritting their teeth about this relationship.

And then every time we see Kyle's parents, they're like doing pyramids on water skis on Lake Winnipezaki up in New Hampshire. Seriously. They're listening to Jimmy Buffett. They're doing whatever. And they're fish. They're just doing something else. They just feel like we don't care. When Kyle said, I want a relationship like my parents.

He meant like, I want the miles. Like I want to be like this. this couple traveling all the time, partying, being drunk on a ski slope. That's what I want. And I was like, yeah. I ain't skiing. That's when they should have known.

Yeah. So Lindsay's saying, like, she's like, well, you know what? Like Sharon did that. Sharon went on TV and said that he should wake up with me. And I mean, he goes, do you think that Carl acts like nothing happened? Listen, I gave Carl plenty of time to sit down with me and have a one-on-one, I have decent, like, respectful conversation with me.

And he like, no. ever has. And Amanda's like, yeah, Carl has a hard time confronting things head on. It's amazing he can open any doors. Oh, hey, I don't really want to confront this. Doorknob, doors are hard. Doors are hard. Well, we know where he gets a lot of his qualities,

and I'm just tired of being treated like I'm always a villain because they're like always a victim and I can't handle it anymore. And I think she's got a point, but you just got to. drop it. Like, what are you going to go get into a war with someone's mom? I mean, just, that's the thing. Just that's the thing. Yeah. Yeah. I, I, I, I, I'm 100% with you. Like, yes, I mean, Carl, we've called Carl a victim for, what, 10 years now, straight. And Sharon, Sharon, for sure shows, displays elements of that, you know, and when Lindsay says in about a second, like, you know, like, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, of course. But, like, also,

it's like, what, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's his mom. I don't know why. I just feel like what she's supposed to say. Like, fuck you, Carl, go marry Lindsay. Like, you know, he's like, oh, she's really mean to me. Of course, she can be like, well, dump her, you know? Well, look, I'm not going to stand up for Sharon. I loved Lindsay giving Sharon attitude.

I'm just saying this following the Sharon thing. I just, I would say just give it up. I don't think this is something to, like, have a storyline with Carl. And being like, we need to have a talk. Like, that's over. So just to be like, you know, Sharon's, just some annoying, passive, aggressive, almost mother-in-law from the past. I gave her shade, deservedly so.

And now she's dead to me. Kill her in your mind. That's what I do. I just kill people in my mind. And then when I see them again, I'm like, I literally, I'm so delusional. I really believe my, I believe my delusions that people are dead, you know? And then when I see them in real life, I'm like, oh my God, you're back. It's very dramatic.

It is. God, you guys should see all the Starbucks baristas. He does that, too, at the airport. When I travel to Ronnie, it's like, what's wrong, Ronnie? I thought that barista was dead. You know I love a barista. Who would I kill?

I don't think I would have ever been mad at a barista. You know what? So I go to Phil's coffee all the time, and there's one barista who refuses to say anything to me or even smile. And I always come in, I'm like, hey, thank you so much. Thank you. And he looks at me like he wants to destroy me. And I'm like, what have I done wrong?

I've literally done nothing wrong. All I've done is pick up a coffee and say, thank you. And he gives me such evil eyes. And I'm determined, determined to make him smile. And I know I can make him do it because there was someone else. There was a frosty person at the fabric store that I go to. And she would always give me this evil look. And I just wore her down to finally she like smiles and banters with me.

I'm going to crack that code. I just, I crack it all the time. I'm really good with that. You know how I love that. And I'm really good at that, actually. But there was this home goods lady who refused, who was trying to refuse to take something back because I didn't have the receipt. And I was like, but it still has the tag on it. And she's like, was this bought on a credit card?

And I said, no, I bought it with this gift certificate thing. And she's like, well, I can't scan the gift certificate. That's not how it works. And I said, well, but I know that you guys, I'm here all the time. Like, I know you can take this back for store credit. And she's like, well, let me tell you. The only thing that I can do I can take this back for store credit. I was like, are you fucking kidding me?

Like I in my mind, in my mind, I'm like, are you for the way? That's what I said five minutes ago, you know, she did it. And then I was like, please don't let me ever have to deal with this lady again. So then I buy the thing that I was buying the return or whatever. And I come up and I'm like, okay, I have to use this. I mean, it just was the whole thing again. It was all over again with this lady. And my mom was there and she's like, why is that lady joking around with you?

Because she's like, oh, yeah, we couldn't live together. We're always losing things, me and you. I'm like, suddenly became like, we're best friends. And I was so proud because I like melted this lady's heart. You know, she hated my guts and I finally got her to my side. And my mom was like, why the hell are you making friends with every weirdo in town? Like, you don't have any friends here, but this is who you're going to become friends. I said, because she didn't like me.

Don't you understand? This is a huge deal for me. Oh, you guys should see Ronnie on an air. plane. I feel like I'm always so impressed with that you're always trying to go conversations. I remember one time I was on a plane and you were like so you had to like go to North Carolina or something like going to North Carolina got a wedding. You were just having a full on conversation with this lady. Who's so funny. I go into dad mode on those things. But to be fair, I have

resting bitch face, which was confirmed by Cynthia Bailey. And so I think that's probably why I don't like melt as many people's hearts in public. You just don't like people. You don't need you don't, you don't feel. the need. You don't feel that need with people. I feel the need. I'm like, oh, my God, if someone's not smiling at me, oh, God. For you, it just takes a barista. You're like, wait a minute. I demand respect from this barista. I will get it, damn it. Well, the thing is this is that I feel like this barista, I feel like he's like, he might be like Gen Z, and I feel like his thing is like talking to people. It gives me social anxiety. I feel like he actually has, like, a, he's built

a story into why he can't smile or be nice to people. And I want to break him down. I'm like, so determined to like make him smile when he sees me walk in he sees my all right well i wish you look on your journey i look for i look forward to updates on this phil's copy barista so um now we go to the house and sierra is putting on a lorax costume it's wacky costume sierra time so sierra's putting on this orange leotard thing and a little for no reason we'd like to add no reason I think it was a costume that she meant to wear it earlier in the summer and didn't get a chance to. So she just put it on. Yeah, I feel, that's why I thought this was going to be the season finale, because she does this and everybody else comes in.

They're like, oh, my God, final weekend, final weekend. I was like, okay, good, this is it. But it wasn't. She's just putting on a costume for fun. And she's got a bunch of squirt guns, and she leaves them in the middle of the room. And it says, pick your, pick your weapon. And then when people come in, she sprays them with water. And everyone's like, oh, my God, I'm being sprayed with water.

And then they get a gun. And then they spray the people coming in with water. And it's like, it's wacky. I actually was laughing. But then the other part of me was like, you are soaking this house and these people hate your guts. Like they hate your guts. The people renting out this house, I hope they see you guys. Right.

It was a fun time. Everyone was laughing. Everyone had so much joy with it. Well, everyone except for one person, which is Amanda. So they spared Amanda because she was wearing a suede jacket. They're like, no, she's wearing suede. Spare her. So they opened the door.

She walks and she's like, um, like, what's going on? And she just is like so, Eeyore. And like, that's her humor. Her humor is to be the one to be like, what? I really, she's like not a yes ander. And it's just like, you know, I know we're all piling on to Amanda because of this scandal. but like even without the scandal it's kind of like I feel like I've put so much energy over the years into trying to be chill about calling Amanda a sad nag but she just kind of is and like I try not to say that because it's a it's a it's a stereotype that gets put on to women a lot especially when women are in relationships with man babies or their babies. being treated like shit and they get put into this role and then they're called a nag and it's like

not fair it's not fair because a lot of times it's women just trying to deal with their immature man but ultimately sometimes people just are that way and Amanda Jesus you can't even have fun in the water gun game geez come on yeah it's a little different of a journey for me because I've been calling Amanda a sad sack and a whiner for literal years and then this is the first season that I was like you know what? I'm sticking up for a man to this season. God damn it, Kyle. And then yelled to Kyle the whole season. Then for it to turn around like this. I mean, what the hell? It's like, I've given it up 10 years of hating on somebody for one second. It was the wrong second. You know, I just wasn't choosing right. I just didn't choose right. I've always,

I've always felt it. But I always felt like my feelings were really the product of like a societal a kind of a societal thing that tells us that women who aren't who aren't just like the cool girls just don't go along with her husbands or nags and I was like I'm gonna push against that I'm gonna push against that instinct it's not fair it's not fair to a man that's not fair to women but honestly she is such a drip oh my god oh my god everything is like wah it's just like oh and like her whole thing is to be super sarcastic and to be like oh It's too much already. Enough. Listen, as a great poet of our time, once said,

Summer is supposed to be fun. Amanda, not fun. And I think it was best said then, you know? So the best part of this shooting people with water thing to me was Lindsay going, you know, I was a sharpshooter in high school, right? Yes, Lindsay. We all remember your entire high school. career and Sierra goes, what the fuck is a sharpshooter?

I did forget that Lindsay was in Rotsie. It's such a funny, such a funny thing. Foxy, Rotsie, Hart, uh, uh, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. So, um, Lindsay's like, um, do you remember when I was in ROTC? No, Lindsay, no one knew you then. So all the other people come up, yeah, Amanda goes winding into another room. She's like, this whole house is wet. It's always wet.

What part of all these people walking around with their bathing suits and spilling beer everywhere says it's not wet? This is a dirty ass house. The water guns are actually doing in a service, actually washing away some stuff for once. So they all eventually sort of get in. They really soak Kyle big time because at that point, There's so many water guns going at once that like he's basically just like dripping. And they all get in. It's funny.

And there's hugs. The Lorax costume is still not explained. And then Carl has an announcement, which is, hey, hey, gang. I have a quick announcement now that we're all here in the mix. Today is National Beach Day. Which means I'm going to go for a run for six hours. Oh, marathon training. Bye, everyone.

Guess where we're going. We're going to the number one beach in the, in the United States of America. Well, I thought you were going to say it's our two-year anniversary, Carl. It's your two-year anniversary of our breakup. Everyone cheers. Yeah, two years of freedom. It's going to be let freedom ring.

I like to think of it as the 10-year anniversary of reporter Christina Gibson walking out the summer house with an oversized magnum of rosé, which happened on their final weekend. I like to think of it as, being two weeks late for the season of, Put your weight on me. Put your weight on me. Lindsay Dale Hubbard,

William Arroney, three years anniversary of not. So, well, I have an announcement too. I'm hosting a dinner tonight. And they're like, oh, I have that freedom dinner. Freedom number two. She goes, yes, second annual freedom dinner. Well, great, okay, we have 40 minutes

until we leave for the beach. Okay, everybody. So Kyle and Amanda are in their room. And he's like, she's like, Kyle, are you showering? Because I have to shower. So I got a shame and shower. Hello?

Can you hear me? Not that when Amanda just ignores Kyle. It makes me laugh every time. All right. Here's what I was going to do. I was going to take a shower. And I thought maybe we could, you know, walk in and hand down the beach.

Hello? Matt, can you hear me? Nana. Nana. somewhere out there Amanda here is my questions so Jesse is like

hey you're sleeping with Sierra Mia because they've got a full house everyone is there even Levi is there this weekend you wouldn't know it because they don't even show her but she somehow managed to sneak into frame later on but she is there

and so yeah just a sack of potatoes puck Levi those are those are baby potatoes. They're crying for some reason.

So Jesse, KJ, Ben, and West are like, and Kyle, they're all shaving. They're making mustachees. Boy, summer. Boy summer. Yeah, boy summer. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. They're all getting excited. And Levi, speaking of which is like, the boys are too hyped. I'm telling you this right now. Yeah, the boys are like way too hyped on each other. Yeah,

they're too hyped. Yeah, it's disgusting. Yeah, it's disgusting. It is. It's disgusting. This summer completely changed my life. Just the bond of community was much needed for me. Like, I've never been one of the boys. And this summer, I was myself for the first time ever. And it feels like it's ending too soon. Oh, KJ. Did you see KJ Unwatch What Happens Live last night and the thing that happened? Yes. You talk about it. Okay, I'm going to talk about it, which is that, West texted KJ right after the reunion

and KJ left it on unread, which I guess is just having it unread. And he basically is like, I've got like, I've read like every text message except for that one. It's the one that it hasn't. And he's like, well, why don't you read it? He's like, um, okay. And then so KJ eventually reads it.

And it's like a nicely, nicely phrased, nicely worded, kind of canned response of like, um, KJ, I know this is like, it was like really dark with, the, first of all, you were really articulate, so that was really good. I appreciate your articulation. I'm like, ready to go, West, right out the gate. Right, a little nice microaggression to open.

Heather Thompson's writing it for him. So then he basically is saying, no, it's like, I know it's like a time for healing and like take your time, but like, whatever. I've been off social media, so I didn't realize how bad the hurt was that was out there. And like, I'm really, it was just like whatever. And poor KJ, he was like about to cry. And at one point, Andy is like, how you do it over there at KJ? He's like, I think I'm about to cry.

Okay, cool. Well, if you're gonna cry, what size boobs would you like to cry on a double D or double C? Yeah, he looked really upset by it. But I mean, KJ gets upset by a lot of things. KJ is very sensitive. He's too sensitive for this world. I don't mean the Earth, I mean, Summer House. It's like, he's not gonna, he's gonna have 10 breakdowns by the end.

He's the new Carl of this show. I'm telling you. right now. Everybody's already online like, poor KJ. Oh my God, poor KJ. I'm like, because he read a text. You guys, calm down. KJ. did not get, I don't know, everyone's going too crazy with this like poor KJ thing. This is an adult. He's a sweet guy. He hasn't done anything wrong. I'm not being a hater. But the audience is really infantilizing KJ. And I'm not really understanding what's happening. Because this clip, you know, he's on there with, well, I mean, he's like, he's not a child. You know, it's just.

weird. He's nearing 30. And everyone's like, oh, my God, poor KJ. They made him read a text. And Meadow Soprano was so insensitive. I watched the clip because I wanted to see Meadow Soprano being mean, because everybody's like, that bitch. No, she wasn't mean. She just said, that's really not, I think that's really nice that text. And he's like, yeah, and it really bums me out because we were so close. And he gets upset. And the audience is like, fuck Meadow Soprano. She has no heart. Wow. I didn't realize that. People were mad at Jamie Lynn Siegler. At least in the Insta clip I was watching.

I think the reason why we all are rooting for KJ is because I think, oh, God, I may eat these words because it's Bravo. But as far as we can tell at least so far, KJ does seem to be like a really, like authentic person. Like in terms of that, like, he is what West is trying to portray himself as is like someone who's kind of like emotionally in tune. And I think he is what Carl is sort of trying to be. But I think that KJ really is just like a, he's like a sweet emotional man. And like it doesn't feel like he's being sweet and emotional to portray an image of something

like projected image like West does at the very least. I don't know what, Carl, it's weird. Carl does seem like he is. Carl doesn't, it's, Carl just seems more like rickety. Like he's gonna fall apart in a moment. But like- Rickety.

But Carl is. a bit rickety i mean honestly whereas kj is he's sensitive in a way that i think west is trying to be and try to pretend to be and trying to give off but i think west is as much as we know a fuck boy douchebag insincere guy as as the rest of them you know yeah i think kj is a sweet guy like him i think he's good on the show and everything i just think the audience's reaction to kj is a little disconcerting it's just a little much to me i don't understand what i don't understand what i don't understand why everybody's so upset for KJ. Like, I haven't, maybe there's something I haven't seen, too, you know, and so I have to

leave room for that. Because he's good looking. Also, let's not honestly, if he is hot, too. If he wasn't, if he wasn't hot, I think we'd all be like, oh, that's nice, but you should get over it. But because he's hot, we're like, it's a hot guy who's feeling things. Yeah. Well, it's not that they like him.

It's that they're always like, oh, my God, poor KJ. Like, everything I read about KJ, you know, involving the scandal is like, oh, oh, my God, poor KJ is just so upset about this. I just don't. I don't know. I don't feel bad for KJ. You know, I like him. But I just, the audience is really like, oh, my God, it's our new baby.

It's our new little baby. We need to hold KJ. Hold him close. I can't wait for Sally Fields movie to come out, not without my KJ. Just a story about like her smuggling KJ out of the Middle East. I kind of like this. I kind of like us all hugging KJ. I think he's so sweet and cute.

And I, you know, I just am happy to see it like some shred of, of loveliness in this dark bravo world. I'm just holding my reservations because I, you know, from the very beginning with his whole, I'm going to just date because I'm a lover boy. You know, that whole thing, which turns out was true, right? So I had to eat my words on that because then he, you know, and he's still with Dara and they seem like they're very much in love. So it didn't seem like he was saying that just to be a fuck boy. So I had to eat my words on that. But I just see, like, everything he says seems to be code words to the audience. Like, when he comes on and he's like, oh, you know, I have anxiety or I have this.

It's like those are like code words. It gets, I feel like a lot of the audience to be like, oh, my God, KJ, so it's just so. I don't know what it is. I'm not saying he's manipulative. I'm just saying I'm wondering why everybody is infantilizing KJ. I just don't. You also don't like victims. And I feel like what this is hitting on is,

I kind of feel like it's probably hitting on like the signals, the things that you normally hear when, when you feel like someone's playing the victim. And so I imagine, and I think that probably, because we've heard people, we've heard guys get out of sticky situations on Bravo all the time by using a lot of the language that KJ uses.

You know, like I've got anxiety or I'm going through things or I'm close to my mom or like women. And it's like, and it's like, so when a guy is like, being emotional and being in his emotions and he's saying these things, I think it's probably hitting some of these triggers, dare I say it, that you may trigger. I'm triggered. I think you're right. Yeah, because when I, that makes a lot of sense to me.

Because when I do hear guys say stuff like this, it's usually in response to them doing something wrong, like using it as an excuse. I think you really hit the nail on the head with that one. So maybe I'm hearing these things. So I'm like, okay, if I'm hearing these things from a man, he must have done something wrong. So what did you do wrong? So now I'm mad at him, even though he hasn't done anything wrong. You know what I mean?

But he's said by saying these things, something that makes me think he has done something wrong. So I'm mad at him, even though he hasn't done anything. Wow, that was a good session. All right, everybody. Thank you. This has been my therapy week.

Thanks, KJ. Here comes one right now. Now, be a man. Stop crying on Whatcher Happens, It's not even be a man. It's just, I just, like, he's okay, you guys. He's okay. He's a 28-year-old man.

He's doing fine. We can all rest assured that KJ's okay. Okay, so then Sierra is talking about how they have a full house. So, Wes is like, we sure do. Well, it's really good to see Amanda Beck. She's in good spirits this week. What made you think she's in good spirits? She walks through the house, whining in swayed, and walked up the stairs.

whining and swayed yeah there's nothing about Amanda's arrival said this is someone in good spirits this is someone who's covered in water maybe I know she wasn't even covered in water she didn't even have that you can't even even come come in can't even say that it's about the basics you know what two if you made rice two if you made rice two if you made rice we asked we asked for like a meat dish and not a race dish and guess we did you gave us Amanda Tom click is just in the summer house I would love that he gave us the white as rice possible, Amanda Rice. And that's unacceptable. I'm sorry. You gotta go.

It's just, it's, you know, at this level of the competition, we just can't have Amanda in it anymore. So just got to go. Padma? Padma. Amanda, please pack your nagging and go. So Sierra's like, well, I will say I did meet up with Sierra this week. And I was like, how's your weekend? And, you know, she stayed back. So she was like, I just needed to breathe. And I was like, do you feel anxious when he's home? And she was like, yeah. And I was like, well, like, what if you take a month apart, you know, like get an apartment for a month, you know?

Then you'll both have your space. You guys can date each other. And Lindsay's like, um, date? Like, I don't think it sounds like they even currently date. So why would they date if they don't even live in the same house? Mia's like, you never know because like them having that space and time apart. They could fall back in love with each other. I'm like, I think the word that you're messed up on is back, fall back in love.

That would have to, that implies that they fell in love in the first place. Yeah. You were fuck buddies that just got used to being around each other. And Wes is the one who's against it. He's like, uh, I think that they'd miss each other, though, don't you think? I definitely not leave her husband. So immediately I want to like get a commitment out of anybody she's banging. So definitely just stay with her husband.

I will say, I don't agree. I don't disagree with that. advice or idea, but if I heard another couple that were like married and like the wife got an apartment for like a month just to get space for her husband, I'd be like, wow, that's not going so well. It feels like a last-ditch effort to move. And by elastic effort, it's over. It is a last-age effort. That's the point, Lindsay. And she says, you know, I feel like Amanda deserves more than she's getting, but she loves Kyle and she's known Kyle longer than anyone in the house, including Carl. And, you know, as much as he's in the wrong, he also has feelings, and she can't help but go full-blown mama bear mode. She's like, and I just think like, what can I do to help? What can I do now? Probably lecturing him at dinner and telling him off about how shitty a husband he is. That's gonna do it. I love that Lindsay's version of going mama bear is to actually turn on her own cub. Eat it. Destroy it. Flay it. Flay it in front of everybody. You're supposed to go, you're supposed to go. supposed to protect your cub protect your cub well she has mommy issues so it makes sense

guess what hall number one bitch cooper's bitch cooper's bitch we're here everyone if everyone if everyone needs to apologize apology dunes right over there hall welcome back to the bitch oh my god wow wow there's an arm burn of carrying all this stuff whoa we made it guys they all set up and um Amanda's like can you move your toe a little bit Kyle she's he's like But I was here first in this patch of sand. So Amanda, to go sit on your foot and then be like, um, you're on foot's in my way. You came to sit on my foot.

You move. Move your butt. How about that? How your butt's in the way of my foot. Don't sit. Don't sit on my foot. So, sorry. I'm got this freaking cabaret.

I've just got sure kids in the mind all the time. It's all in the single thing. Yeah. So West Carl and Jesse are playing beach volleyball and Carl's like oh look at KJ right now look at them he's just relaxed on a beast chair it's hilarious KJ loves to sleep in this house KJ actually this and this is one thing I really love about KJ KJ will just sleep anywhere and that's my kind of guy that's how I am yeah I'm like we are on a weekend this is what we should be doing we should be in bed

mm-hmm yeah he has big nap energy he really he's like everywhere but you know he's because he's shredded so he's probably working out all the time. So he's probably exhausted, right? So, uh, yeah, he's like asleep. And West's like, KJ like doesn't even know where he is. Like, it's crazy. Um, and by the way, somewhere in the middle here, they're playing volleyball and, uh, Carl just spikes the ball. Like was it on top like Dara's face or something like that. He's like, oh, like, uh, Carl, can you like relax? Sorry. Sorry, I just have a little bit of rage on the inside. It's okay. It's okay. So, um, yeah, they're playing volleyball. And, um, um, um,

And Carl's like, oh, yeah, like, is it like weird? Like seeing Sierra? West says, no, no, dude, not at all. He's like, yeah, I got it. I mean, I can relate to that a little bit. And we see Lindsay walking to the water. I think she's going to take a little bit. Who were they talking about?

They were actually talking. He was asking West if it was weird seeing Darra with KJ because West and Darra had a past. Oh, oh, I see. I see. Probably forgot about because it's barely been mentioned. So then Lindsay just had a past with like everybody. I think. Yeah.

The next summer house coming out, the Ozark ones, that's the Ozark one that is based on all of West's friends. I think all of the, like, nine out of ten of the women, he's had relationships with before. It's like all of West's exes or something. Yeah. But he like doesn't like know what to do because he's like, he's like, I like a scared of commitment. And that's like my thing to work on. And like I'm going to. But it's just like, it's just like it sucks because like I just like, I just like.

like have a lot of things that I feel all the time and I just don't want people to hurt people but I hurt people and it's just like a lot. Yeah. So, um, Carl's like, oh, we're celebrating two years of freedom today, boys. I have nothing to worry about except really pretty big lease alone. But you know, life is good. Yeah, you're free, really? You're free. Yeah.

And you got a, you got a new best friend. And Wes is like, KJ, KJ is my new best friend. He's like, yeah, love is good. So West is saying, you know, like, I think with Sierra and I, like, we're good and everything. But, like, you know, now everyone else is like, what the fuck? Like, what's going on? And like, I get it, like, clearly, you know? Like, I obviously don't want to speak for her.

But, like, I think we're just, like, comfortable being friends and, like, let's have fun and just, like, get to the fall. You know what I mean? And then when you say, you. says, by the way, did you notice this? When he says, let's just get to the fall, they put this, like, bell chime on the soundtrack. It was, like, for whom the bell tolls. It was like an ominous, like, bong. It was like the death. It was like a bell that sounded like the death of something. And I was like, post-production, I heard that because that was a little Easter egg to be like, watch up. When we get to the falls, when the shit happens, when everything falls apart, you know,

And I love that little detail. But also, what's up with this, like, backpedaling suddenly from West, who spent the whole season being like, I have a crush on her. I think I'm still in love with her, putting his hand on her. And now all of a sudden, like, whoa, let's just be friends. Okay, guys. Let's just be friends. Well, it's typical because it's what West does. He says one thing to us, which is we're just friends.

I don't understand why everybody's blah, blah, blah. And then in real life, he's like, let's hug for 10 minutes. I'm crushing on Sierra, people who will tell Sierra, just telling people who are going to tell Sierra, I have a crush on Sierra. I hope you don't tell her. And then act to us like, what? I've said the whole time, I just want to be friends. I mean, he's typical. He's doing the same thing as always.

But I did notice when he said, let's just have fun and get to the fall. Like, he gives this look. Like, just get me through this. Like, I've saved my reputation with the audience. So just let's get through this final weekend. So I can go back to having a life and using my Bravo ass pass and everybody. bar that I go to, please. 100%, or as Paige DeSorbo would say,

1,000%. So they're playing, they're playing spike ball now. They love this game where they put that little trampoline thing on the sand and they throw a ball at it. And Lindsay and West are, Lindsay's putting the lotion on West back. She's like, I haven't really touched a man's back in a while.

I was like, oh, I'm sad that it has to be Wes. West that you break the streak with. Yeah. So Jesse is talking to Ben about how it's been such a good summer and how's it going with the myth of. He's like, oh, it's the best. It's the best. And then we see all these videos where Ben and Sabrina are videotaping themselves making out every videotaping. They're filming themselves making out. Why do they do that? You called that out a long time ago and I thought, well, it's not that abnormal. But it's like every video, it's super weird. Like, did you guys get a selfie stick just to tape yourselves like making out? What the fuck? Yeah, it's so performative. It's also like the implication that we all care about this, the implication that like,

oh, everyone wants to see our love that we're inspiring people, maybe. Whatever the reason is, it's just, it's, it's weird. It doesn't make any sense. It's stupid. Stop doing it. You know, I remember there's this one guy who I used to follow on Instagram and like his friend was on a TV show. And I just remember he posted something of himself watching the TV.

And he was just like snack eating potato. just like watching it like wow and you could hear this tv show going he's just like watching along and then like the caption was something like like congrats to so-and-so on like like wow you booked it you really did it you did your thing i'm like why are you showing why are you showing us you watching the show why don't you turn the camera around and show the tv show your friend who's allegedly killing it on screen and it's just like that weird self-involved thing that people do with social media where they just that they just assume that like every single thing that they do is interesting. I mean, obviously so much of social media is about selfies and it's about like,

here I am, I'm doing something. We all post stuff. Like, that's okay. But like there are certain things that it's like where you went out of your way to set up your camera to showcase this thing that like not people don't inherently care about this. They don't inherently hear to see you making out with your girlfriend. Yeah, yeah.

It's super, it's super weird, this taping yourself making out. It's second to taping yourself crying. Like, I can't. That's, that's, that's good for me. I just hate it so much. Why? Please don't. Please stop doing that, people.

Unless you're laughing at yourself while you're crying. Like, I can't believe I'm crying right now. I just saw a crocodile. You know, like that's, that's one thing.
