Get your beer pong table and keg ready because it’s time for another Winter House recap! We pick up where we left off last week with Lindsay and Austen discussing Lindsay’s love declaration. Austen shoots her down by saying he loves her “like a sister.” Austen’s sister Katie must be projectile vomiting as I’m sure they never slept together, nor has he insisted they will “date” during 2021. He has completely gas lighted his “best friend”.
Say what you will about Lindsay, but that girl is ride or die for the people she cares about. I just wish she went all in with people who deserve her. Austen does NOT. To her credit, she sees that Austen is clearly putting hooking up with Ciara as a priority over her. She hugs him but warns him to not mind fuck her again.
Crazy In Love
Poor Amanda wakes up in a bad mood everyday. Kyle works too much, drinks even more and is stressed out. The gang decide to have a beer party because, frat house. Austen brings Ciara to his room to rage against Lindsay. She’s a “crazy person” who dared to have feelings for him! Ciara seems to want to back off, yet doesn’t. Which is so frustrating! She’s too beautiful and smart for this dipshit.

Meanwhile, Lindsay becomes an instant meme by laying down on a carpet venting to Julia. Lindsay has such a knack for understanding the assignment. I love her. Paige and Andrea continue to flirt. Craig is texting Natalie to get through the loneliness that comes with his friends coupling up. I have yet to see sparks between Paige and Craig, Bravo’s newest power couple. Julia offers to speak to Luke on Gabby’s behalf. Gabby jumps on her offer, which leaves a lot of questions as to why they argue later.
Frat Boy In A Little Coat
The beer party is in full swing. Lindsay tells Luke about the Austen of it all. Lindsay and Austen can communicate through their eyeballs, ya’ll! It’s special. The gang drinks heartily. Gabby announces that she loves Jason too much to hook up with Jason. Jason is hurt but moves on. In my opinion, he’s the biggest catch in that house. WHY aren’t the ladies going apeshit over him? Julia flirts heavily with Luke, causing Gabby to storm off to her room. In her cofensional, she tells us that Julia has ruined past relationships. Then why accept her offer to speak to Luke on her behalf? Amanda is feeling a bit slighted by Kyle, who’s dancing and drinking with the crew. She takes off to the bathroom to vent to her mom on the phone.

Kyle, realizing Amanda is gone, proceeds to check every room in the house (except the bathroom) to find her. He panics that he’s being a shitty fiance and that Amanda may pick up on it. It’s hilarious watching him drunkenly go room to room, wearing that amazing purple cat sweatshirt, acting like she’s vanished into thin air. I have to get that sweatshirt for my 16 year old son btw. Anywho, Lindsay Drew finds Amanda, who is in the “poop” bathroom. Amanda cries when she sees Kyle cry. This whole scene was hilarious and one the many reasons i fucking love this show! Also one of the many reasons I’ve warmed up to Kymanda.
Time To Rise And Glide
The next day the gang wake up late to go skiing. The ladies, minus Julia, go on the bunny slope. The rest ski and snowboard down a hill I have named “oh fuck no”. Kyle talks to Andrea about Paige. Andrea says he’s single and not ready for anything serious. Paige is going to have to envision her wedding with another groom sadly. Julia and Gabby go off to the side to talk. Gabby is angry at Julia, who pretends to be clueless. If what Gabby says is true, why would she trust Julia to get involved in another relationship? It doesn’t make sense. Lindsay acknowledges her many mistakes with men. She’s now thinking she needs a nice guy. YES! Jason is available Lindsay! Paige continues to flirt with Andrea.
Double Dose Of Cheese
Kyle, Ciara, Amanda and Austen go on a double date. Ciara tells us in her confessional that she really likes Austen. UGH! Austen is nervous because he hasn’t been on a proper date in three years. Paige gets FOMO as her man Andrea considers physically bench pressing her a proper date. Kyle jokes that since Amanda is turning 30, he has to shop around for a younger woman. Amanda is so happy to be out of the house that she just laughs and laughs. Austen and Ciara hold hands under the table. Ewe. I just can’t.

At the house, Gabby tells Paige that she’s only known Andrea to be a fuckboy. That makes Paige back up a little, which is good. Andrea tells Luke that he’s speaking to two other women currently. Ewe again. Craig continues to play phone tag with Natalie. Lindsay seems to open her eyes a little to Jason. YAY!
Next week on Winter House: More drinking. Gabby tells Luke that she wants him inside of her. Paige cries about being single at 28. Lindsay and Jason grow closer. Andrea takes Paige out on a date. Craig wonders why he would do that when he tells the guys he doesn’t see a future with Paige. Amanda is tasked with telling Paige that information. Thank you so much for reading this recap! Let’s keep the shit talking going in the comments!
I don’t like Kyle and Amanda as a couple at all. So far she has made comments about being single in every episode both in the confessional and with her castmates. This last episode she took off her ring to emphasis how great her hand would look single and she even chose Jason for herself. If Kyle did the same, there would be a viewer uproar. I don’t understand why she gets a pass. Is it Bc he is an annoying sloppy drunk who cheated multiple times after bringing her on this show originally as a booty call? Or that he speaks to her very disrespectfully when he is enraged?
Both woman that Mike from Shahs brought on the show, Jessica and Paulina, were called fame hungry for staying with him. Brittany was also called fame hungry for staying with Jax. I am not debating whether they are or not. My question is why did Amanda stay with Kyle? And if he had stopped doing the show when she caught him being unfaithful, would she still have stayed? Makes no sense to me… except that their relationship and television/ business career to be very interwoven as one. Just my opinion.
You raise a very good point. I absolutely see what you’re saying. I have never met them so I can’t speak for them obviously. But I feel like Amanda stayed with him in part because she “won” I could be very wrong so again, just an opinion. But she went from booty call to fiancé which validates her staying with him. I also do think there’s genuine love there. I said I’ve warmed up to them, not that I think this is a love story I want my kids to mold 😂 But I hear you. It’s hypocritical and kind of fucked up. Much like the cast itself 😂
Yes I do think they love each other. But even in this latest episode when Austen asked about their sex life, if they are more like roommates, both clammed up. Kyle proposed on the heels of another incident while drunk. Remember how ambivalent her parent were about this proposal so soon after that drama? Part of me has the opinion that he does love her Bc she is very great on paper AND Bc she takes his crap and still wants to be with him. But I wonder if part of it was also his imagine/brand taking a hit if he had to start over again single drunk guy pushing 40 chasing girls in their 20’s. I believe they are a Legitimate couple but in todays age of social media and branding, their coupling doesn’t sit well with me. But I’m just a viewer so 🤷🏻♀️
And as a viewer your opinions and interest keeps the show going. Hals the fun is trying to understand the psychology of why these good looking, young people do what they do So opinion away!!!!
Kelly: I loved your recap! I haven’t watched the episode — I am saving it for tonight while I wait for Project Runway. The POOPING BATHROOM! Bwahahahaha! OMFG!
I felt bad for Lindsay until I saw her with Austen on WWHL. Until he was an ASS. It was way worse than “sister zoning.” Did he ever hook up with Ciara? It sure seemed like he was pouring it on on WWHL. To the demise of his friendship with Hubhouse. Maybe Madison WAS his perfect match.
Awwe thank you Nanette!! And THANK YOU for all you do!!! Yes he and Ciara were seeing each other until recently I believe. My husband made a good point about how it pits Ciara against Ciara. I’m praying they don’t fall into that trap. I don’t want to watch them fight over that mullet mouth on Summer House!
Paige and Craig look like siblings.
Ciara seemed actually less interested in Austen during WWHL. She’s so pretty and I just can’t believe she likes him. Hopefully she’s over it already?
Bahahaha now I can’t unsee it!! 😂
Ugh I hope so too. I guess we wait and see! I don’t see any trail of them on social media anymore.
Once again a great recap PCK! Thank you:)
Awwww thank you so much! ❤️
Kyle crying was hilarious. Ridiculous, but great TV. Too bad he never thinks of Amanda while he’s partying. So sad when she said, Hi – I’m over here.
And I felt so bad for Lindsay, but she completely dodged a bullet with Austen. He’s such an ass, literally complaining he’s not ready for a relationship and angry with Lindsay about it WHILE making out with Ciara. I mean, way to tell you you’re just his F-toy for the night.
I was irritated with Gabby complaining about Julia dancing with the guys. I don’t know much about either of them, but it seemed clear to me that Julia was just dancing and having a good time with everyone… not trying to stake any kind of claim. Based on this one show, Gabby seems like one of those people who is always making issues with people and is never happy.
Thanks for the recap and the chance to discuss!
Thank you!!! I agree with you regarding Gabby. She seems very green and maybe doing it for the show?
I love this hot mess and all of the hot people being messy.
SAME! ❤️
Could not agree more about Jason! Told the hubby that the first episode! Hotty!
Right?? I just don’t get it!
I just finished watching the show & this is a spot on recap, PCK.
Awww thank you!! ❤️❤️
Excellent recap!! I think Amanda and Kyle fit each other’s needs right now. He was a player and she was the booty call. Her rising up the ranks and putting up with his crap to hold onto the fairytale that men change is woven into her self worth. Kyle does love her but it seems mostly because she lets him be himself and she’s “earned” it by sticking with him. I love Lindsay but she has the issue of being the “cool” girl who can be friends with the guys … until she thinks sleeping with them will magically make them love her. She’s watched “Friends with Benefits” or similar movies too many times. All these beautiful people are very insecure and need a make out session and crush turn into a love story overnight. Austin loves the chase and to conquer. Then he loses interest. Andre is gorgeous and a player. I love Paige and Craig together so I’m hoping that’s real. Luke is a player playing a role because he got played last year. Every single girl should go after Jason!! I think what Gabby said is true but she’s stuck in the hood that Julia won’t do it to her this time. Sorry … I think her having a boyfriend and knowing her friend was interested should have kept her from grinding. But … what do I know? 🤷♀️ Oh right! The drama of it all and your terrific recaps!
Oh the drama of it all indeed!!!! You nailed it!!! And thank you, it’s so much fun to recap!
