Summer House: Ring Around The Rumor

BY: POPCULTUREKELLY

Happy Summer House Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. We can put the candy away because this episode looks sweet enough! We pick up at the big Christmas in July party with Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard discussing his non-relationship with Paige DeSorbo. Paige is most pissed that Lindsay would even suggest that Carl put her on ice! We are forced to endure a mini douche montage when Jordan Verroi tells us that turning 30 is no big deal. He has a dope career and can get any girl he wants. Who super creepily checks out Kyle Cooke’s package whilst he pees. What’s not to love there? If I didn’t have the stomach bug for the last few days, I would wholeheartedly puke. Alas, I have nothing left to give. A belated Easter blessing.  

Take Cover From Hurricane Hubbard

Hannah Berner pulls Lindsay aside to tell her that Paige overheard the conversation with Carl and is not happy. Lindsay does not receive that very well. She goes upstairs where the rest of the roomates are to confront Paige. She drags Paige away from the group to scream at her. Lindsay is not to be blamed for having a conversation with her friend Carl, get it! Paige’s survival instincts kick in. She quells the drunk she-beast by telling her that she feels hurt that she gave one-sided advice. Our Paige is smart. They end up laughing as Paige runs out of the room to seek safety.

Hannah and hot Brit Dave are hooking up in the pool. Hannah is afraid he will catch feelings. She is not ready to give up being single. Danielle Olivera is flirting big time with the Brit’s hot friend Max, who seems really receptive. Paige and Carl sit down to talk. Paige confronts Carl about what he said to Lindsay. Carl insists that he is the best man she will ever have. Paige likens Carl to a puppy that needs to be trained. She is not wrong. Carl is not used to working for a woman’s attention, so he is now super hooked. He says he will up his game and communicate with Paige during the week.

A Whole Lot Of Hookups Going On

Next, the gang comes back from a quick night on the town. Danielle and hot Brit friend Max go straight to her bedroom. Paige and Carl make out by the Christmas tree. Amanda gets a text that Hannah fell and is the ER. Our sweet Hannah dislocated her pinky after falling as she ran for an Uber. A totally Hannah way to go to the ER. Danielle and Max consummate their friendship a few times over that morning. They all get ready to go to brunch for Jordan and Amanda’s birthday. Jordan insists that he hooked up with yet another phantom woman. Lindsay cops to spending the night at Everett’s. Hannah presses for more information. Lindsay says there is nothing to report. He is basically a safe hookup as she navigates her messy personal life.

Bling Bling Kyle Bought A Ring

We are now back in the City where the gang is hard at work. Except Kyle Cooke. He is hard at work, but hard at work picking out Amanda Batula’s engagement ring!  He feels that now is the best time as she will not be expecting it. With just putting a deposit on the apartment, moving in and starting a business, it will be a surprise. The ring is beautiful. It is a classic gold setting with a big diamond in the center. Kyle tells us that he is 36 years old and ready to settle down.  I believe he means it. I hope he does, anyway.

Amanda goes to visit Paige, who tells us that her parents pay for her NYC apartment. Must be nice. Paige tells Amanda that she has not heard from Carl at all since their Hampton’s weekend. Paige is officially done with him. They discuss how intimidating Lindsay is. Paige regrets not standing up to Lindsay more the night she screamed at her. I think we can all agree Paige played it smart. She made it out of the room in one piece, is that not enough?

Confessions Of A Serial Cheater?

Kyle Cooke goes to New Hampshire to visit his parents. He is happy to bring news of the apartment and engagement ring. He also brings Loverboy, his newest alcohol venture for his parents to try. His mom, a retired teacher, is so cute and so happy with the good news. Kyle then confesses to cheating on Amanda. His cute mom and dad are visibly shocked. Kyle’s mom then shocks us all by confessing to cheating on Kyle’s dad in the beginning of their relationship. His dad would not commit to his mother if she would not commit back.

Wow. The apple does not fall far from the tree! Kyle feels even more confident that he and Amanda can work. His parents have been together over 35 years. They try Loverboy while discussing all of Kyle’s failed business ventures. His dad is super encouraging. They both tell Kyle how proud they are. Such a sweet scene.

Lindsay is getting ready and skyping with her Aunt Rhonda. Since Lindsay has no relationship with her mother, she talks to her Rhonda when she needs advice. Lindsay has information from a mutual friend of that Kyle cheated on Amanda. The cheating has continued as recently as 4 months ago. Lindsay is torn about telling Amanda because she does not want to hurt her. Rhonda advises Lindsay to go to Kyle first.

Next week on Summer House: Carl flirts with Paige and Jordan. Amanda lavishes Carl with a car on his birthday. Lindsay tells Danielle about the cheating rumor. See you next week!
