Summer House gave us an unexpected extra helping with the first-ever Aftermath, where we got cozy on the cast’s couches for some further West/Amanda debriefing. Lindsay dropped the hammer on Amanda. Kyle (& Reese) got nothing from West. And Ciara & Meija had a kind of strange-but-necessary meeting of the First Wives’ Club. Time to chop flowers, do the right thing “a handful of times,” and tune in to ...
In the final installment of the Summer House reunion, West (and, honestly, Amanda too) is beta-blocked to the gods! He tries every possible semantic to escape responsibility for leading on Meija (and, honestly, Amanda too). The friendship betrayals – West of Jesse, and Amanda of Ciara – bring cleansing tears to the betrayed, and deadened, robotic responses from the betrayers. Kyle and Amanda’s hearts beat as one f...
On the second installment of the Summer House reunion, Lindsay directly calls out West’s pathological nature, and all of his exes in attendance (Ciara, Dara, & Meija) concur. Amanda boo-hoos and bails for “a (long!) beat." KJ and Ben are in love. Carl is comfy in his skin. And the ghost of Levi was there… just long enough to say goodbye. Time to snag a ticket to Jesse’s tour but steer clear of The West ...
In the first installment of the Summer House reunion, Soft Bar’s Carl comes hard for a limp West. Ciara labels Amanda an SBD incarnate. KJ got a bunch of piercings and made a ton of progress. Ben? Not so much. And Levi? Well, she had fun. Time to tighten your corset, loosen your horsehair tie, breadcrumb your bad decisions, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
On the Summer House Season 10 finale, Amanda’s transformation is nearly complete from sympathetic Kyle-sufferer to diabolical people-wrecker. Lindsay & Carl make up in an igloo. Jesse & West snuggle in matching panties. And Ciara is just objectively the best friend anyone could have. The heartbreak is real watching the end of the innocence of these Hamptons house summers… Time for an evening jump in the pool, a...
On Summer House, Ciara threw an Après Ski party, inadvertently celebrating her last spell of innocence before learning her bestie & Westie had been sweating the sheets behind her back. KJ quells his end-of-summer anxiety by extending an invite to his summer house fam to join him for the holidays, leading Mia to experience some wrenching grief mixed with deep gratitude. Kyle & Carl erupt into a near fist fight and, just as q...
On this week's Summer House, not even a kid's camp or a lighthearted water gun fight could keep the crew from being utterly soaked in chaos. Lindsay still isn't free, Carl and Bailey make OUT, and Kyle has dry eyes and no clue. Amanda finally swaps her martyr mask for a smile straight out of a horror film, and Levi just wants to Levi her body during dinner. Time to buckle your orthopedic sandal over your orange tights and tune into...
Josh Higgins joins Ramona to break down last week's Summer House, which was chock-full of defensive behavior and seriously questionable hygiene habits. Time to pretend like you don't see your ex-future-mother-in-law or former bff standing behind you and tune into A Therapeutic Dose!
**This is a bonus episode; Ramona will be back on Saturday with a full-length discussion of S10E13 of Summer House, joined by Josh Higgins! You won't want to miss it, so stay tuned!**
Like many of us in the Bravoverse, Ramona* is trying to make sense of it all! Join her as she brain dumps about the leaked audio from the Summer House reunion, Lindsay Hubbard and Bailey Taylor's appearance on WWHL, West and Amanda's timeline, ...
On this week's Summer House, West puts more effort into sprinting towards cold orange chicken than he does into practicing repair. Mia hears from her mommy, Carl slays flies then feeds his fam, Amanda NOPES out, and Ben shows another side of himself. Time to put on your ski goggles, spray yourself with the kitchen faucet, and tune into this week's A Therapeutic Dose!
Summer House careens towards the catastrophic end of its 10th season, and we're seated in VIP to watch it alllllll go down. Amanda blames it on bad lighting. West can't be trusted around long hair or Ciara's heart. Mia could use a hug from her mommy. Carl gives Bailey the fanny flutters, and Jesse's generous lips are sealed. Time to reflexively smear Sharpie off your forehead and tune into this week's A Therapeutic Dose.
Where do we even start?! Summer House should be fun! This week's SH news howevs? NOT. FUN. Carl wants a distraction, Lindsay declares her Sugar Baby era, Kyle needs a hug and to be loved, and Ciara needs to run far away from the rest of these fools (and take KJ and Mia with her). Time to make out with someone while they pee and tune into this week's A Therapeutic Dose!
On this week's Summer House, no amount of old man glam can mask Kyle’s rotten spirit. KJ can’t lie and Lindsay’s gross gossip can’t bring him and Dara down. West runs out of any goodwill for Kyle after his night of disgusting anti-Amanda outbursts. Time to put on your cry-for-help Crocs, drown your sorrows at the soda water machine, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!l
This episode of Summer House ran the gamut from drunken party games to sobering conversations. Kyle’s immaturity endures, while Carl’s sobriety shines. KJ’s kindness makes him even cuter, and Mia’s honesty makes us echo Amanda when she said, “Thank you for bringing her into our lives!” Time to kiss a girl & give Kyle a b*ner, shower solo, pack your pjs, and tune in to this week’s A Ther...
On Summer House, Ben and Bailey get butt hurt, Ciara sets boundaries, KJ solidifies his position as the #1 Good Guy in the Group, and we find out Kyle cheaped out on Carl, but splurged at Cartier. Time to throw a 3:00AM Buffalo Chicken Dip in the oven, sit on someone to confirm your crush, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
On Summer House, neither Jesse, West, nor the wet ground treats Ciara with the dignity she deserves. Bailey's flirting is as scary as her plant pranking. And dare we say Dara and KJ are daring to fall in love? Time to gnaw on a turkey leg while watching your ex drive off in the car you paid half for, and tune in to this week's A Therapeutic Dose!
On Summer House, Kyle “cooks,” Amanda coughs, and West makes a fluffy breakfast casserole with a side of (deservedly!) harsh words for Jesse. Lindsay identifies as a full-time MILF, Ben threatens to enter a mustache era, and Bailey is all of us when she proclaims, “I am well aware that I am fully f***ed up, I have a million issues and I’m working on them - just give me some time.” Speaking of time&hell...
Kyle & Amanda continue to come undone before our eyes. We get some nostalgic Ciara & West energy for a beat. And KJ can do no wrong! Shoutout to the lover-boys! But no shouts for Loverboy bevs because… Kyle. Time to be unsurprised & disappointed in Jesse’s bikini advice, DM Amanda about Kyle’s whereabouts, pull up a dune and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
It’s only the second episode of the season, but Summer House is full on Summer House-ing! Kyle’s second place in Amanda’s heart, but takes first prize in slurring! Carl schmears his way into Bailey and Levi’s hearts simply by asking if they want bagels. If Mia broke out of her shell after working at a sex club, maybe Ben should work there, too? KJ and Ciara speak about realities far too few reality shows on ...
In the season premiere of Summer House, mental health was so centered for most of the cast, that Kyle’s refusal to tend to his own was as egregious as a breakup at Sweetgreen. West & Ciara exhibit growth! Kyle exhibits none. The newbie gals allot one bed for stuff and one bed for sleep. And KJ stole our anxious hearts! Time to run 8 miles and tell EVERYONE about it, try to make a 10-gallon hat your personality, and tune i...
