How is it already time for another Winter House recap? Time is flying y’all! This week on Hot Drunk People begins with Jason cooking. Jason cooks too! WHY ISN’T HE THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER MAN IN THE HOUSE? These bitches be cray! Paige laments to Ciara that Andrea hasn’t taken her out on a date. Austen recaps his date to Craig. Craig is just happy Austen isn’t bitching about Madison. Ciara tells Paige that she’s starting to fall for Austen. UGH. Ciara cries because she’s so scared to fall for him. Welp, she should be. He’s horrible. Julia apologizes to Gabby for their conversation last week going south. Julia promises to be more aware of Gabby’s feelings. Gabby accepts her apology.

Paige worries that in her whole six months of dating, not one of her dates have fallen in love with her. She’s feeling insecure about Andrea, which she should be. He’s the fuck boy of all fuck boys. She wants a man to get to know her beyond her looks. Not to sound like an asshole, but is her pool even that deep? She and Ciara have the most vapid, shallow conversations. On Summer House it was the same with her and Hannah. There doesn’t seem to be much depth to her, which is fine. She’s snarky, shallow and amusing. I just don’t know what she expects men to find with her.
Shawty Get Low, Low, Low, Low Country Boil
Craig and Austen bought food for southern-ish low country boil. Lindsay and Jason go off to talk. Lindsay is still hurting over Austen. Jason is so cute. He’s starting to like Lindsay, which makes me happy. I feel like Jason is the kind of man Lindsay should end up with. Everyone puts on garbage bags for a champagne shower outside. Paige cries about not having a boyfriend. Gabby tells Luke she’s into him. He politely shuts her down. Luke likes to chase unattainable women. It’s his thing.

Craig and Paige discuss how he misses his girlfriend Natalie. In his talking head, Craig confesses to having a crush on Paige years ago when he first met her. Awe! I know we’re all watching to see how these two end up together. Andrea comes in to literally sweep Paige off of her feet. He officially asks her on a date, which dried her tears up super quick. The next day, Andrea takes Paige on a romantic sleigh ride for their date. Paige is over the moon. She plans their wedding as Andrea lays the “I want to marry the love of my life” thing on thick. The stars in her eyes are literally popping out as he speaks. Wanting to marry a man after knowing him a week is very Anna from Frozen. Look at how that worked out Paige!
Amanda, The Reluctant Bone Collector
Luke and Jason work on the igloo. Jason says that he’s into Lindsay. YAY! Luke tells Jason that he’s attracted to Julia. Everyone else comes out to join them. Craig tells everyone that Andrea can’t see a future with Paige, so Craig is confused as to why he would take her out on a date. Amanda and Lindsay are worried for Paige. Amanda is tasked with telling Paige that bit of information. After the double daters come home, Amanda, Paige and Ciara discuss the date in bed.

Paige feels confident that she and Andrea will last after the Winter House. Amanda looks like she wants to vomit. Say what you will about Amanda, but one thing I’ve always loved about her is that she is loyal to her core. She loves Paige, so she wants to protect her. From all I’ve seen on the show, Amanda is a damn good friend with a good heart. Paige is lucky to have that kind of friend in her life, in my humble opinion. I think that’s why she and Lindsay like each other. Both women are extremely caring and loyal.
Lindsay, The Activated Bone Collector
The gang prepares for another theme night: dress as high school stereotypes. Craig is a punk kid. Julia is a cheerleader. Kyle is an emo kid. Amanda is an art student. Austen is a jock. Paige is prom queen (shocker). Andrea is a hot nerd. Gabby is a private school sinner (seems rhetorical but ok). Luke is a stoner. Ciara is the teacher’s pet. Lindsay is the principal. Not too sure what Jason is. Everyone looks great though. Luke is gunning to pursue Julia, even though she has a boyfriend. He passes her a note asking her to hang out. Julia is repulsed. She lets him down not so gently, which is fine by me.

Lindsay, literally drunk with information, tells Paige that Andrea doesn’t want a relationship. Paige is shocked. Amanda is upset with Lindsay for telling Paige. So, Amanda ends up crying more than Paige. Amanda wanted to wait for a sober and more gentler time and place to crush Paige’s Italian wedding dream. Paige is pissed that Andrea is leading her on. But is he? I mean, Andrea is a fuck boy, no doubt. But Paige has made up an entire relationship and wedding in her mind. Andrea promised her no such thing. This may be a controversial opinion, but I don’t feel like Andrea is doing anything wrong.
Come at me in the comments, I’m ready! Just please don’t be mean. I love y’all too much to really fight you on this! Oh, Jason and Lindsay hook up. YAY! That’s one couple I would love to see go the distance.
Next time on Winter House: Kyle and Amanda go skiing with Kyle’s parents. Amanda is terrible. Kyle’s mom isn’t sure she can be part of the family because she’s so bad. Lol. Madison texts Austen, which sends him in a tailspin.
BONUS CONTENT! Here’s another installment of “I’m watching Watch What Happens Live so you don’t have to.” Luke, Lindsay and Andrea are on the show tonight. Andy asks Lindsay about Austen’s asshole appearance on WWHL a few weeks ago. Lindsay says she has since blocked Austen. She says she’s hopeful they will be friends again eventually but that they are on a break right now. The viewers are on Lindsay’s side regarding Austen. Lindsay says Jason is the sweetest guy she’s ever met, so they probably are not together. Andrea says he likes Paige a lot but doesn’t feel like he led her on.

Andy has Lindsay play a game called activate the mate, which pits Austen against Jason. Jason won the categories hands down. Lindsay is asked about the Carl dating rumors, which she shuts down. She says she’s single. She and Ciara are NOT friends. Not shocked by that. Andrea is asked his biggest regret about Paige. He says we have to stay tuned but no regrets. Andy asks Andrea if he was ever a porn star. Andrea said no. Now Andrea is shirtless. So. That’s a wrap! Thank you all for reading. I’ll see you in the comments!
👏👏👏 Thank you Kelly!
Instead of calling Andrea a fuckboy because he doesn’t plan his Big Fat Italian Wedding after one date and two make out sessions in the hot tub, I would call Paige delusional.
What I do love is knowing that while we see Paige hurting now, she will be happily involved with Craig before long. A good guy she actually KNOWS!
Jason is hot, sweet, smart, and can cook his ass off! So, of course, the ladies go after Austen! What a huge waste!
Haha Paige is for sure delusional. But I still think Andrea is a fuck boy! There’s nothing wrong with that. He’s having fun. He’s talking to other women and enjoying himself. Paige and Craig are what we want to see though, hopefully we will see how they happen!!! Jason is sooooo it, Austen is soooooo not. I truly don’t get it.
PCK, I completely agree with you about both Paige and Andrea! I don’t see anything wrong with what Andrea is going either, and Paige is definitely delusional. I am very much on the fence about Lindsay. I do not love her. She’s such a drama queen and a huge bone carrier. I don’t think it was her place to tell Paige anything about Andrea. Did she hear the comment? Then shut up. Seems like she loves to be the “important” one to spill all the tea. I loved it when Craig called Paige “little lone” when she went off with Andrea. That was so sweet. After four episodes, I finally feel like I know who everyone is. It took a while. THANK YOU so much for a great recap!
Why can’t Bravo understand that we don’t want to watch spoiled, entitled brats be spoiled, entitled brats?
I can’t with this show. Vanderpump is beating a dead horse.
I think it’s time Bravo reevaluate itself. And it’s entire programming.
Sorry but just change the channel. I, for one, am thoroughly enjoying these shows!
I do change the channel. I don’t watch! Perhaps that was unclear. I think America agrees with me, as this has to be the lowest watched show, of all time? Even Dallas pulled in a hundred thousand more viewers per episode.
I agree! It’s a nice break from the felony of it all 😂
I assume this is why it has the lowest viewership of any bravo shows. The deets don’t lie.
Don’t get me wrong, thank you for reading and commenting. I’m curious as to how you obtained the ratings? I did a quick Google search but didn’t find anything to suggest that it’s tanking. And I’m also curious why you comment on a show you don’t watch? Again, I appreciate the discussion so it’s not shade. Honestly curious. Do you like Summer House?
It doesn’t have the lowest ratings of any Bravo show, it way out performs ALL the WWHL. Winter House was at a season high this week with over 608,000 views JUST LIKE PUMP RULES and actually beat PUMP RULES the week before. Winter House only had 20,000 viewers less that Salt Lake City. AND THE IS A FELON BY BRAVO and a CULT LEADER ON RHOSLC.
One wonders if “Sara” is really Madison. ROFLMAO. Someone sounds jealous. If not Sara just isn’t in the demo for this show.
I never understand why people who CLAIM not to watch a show decide to open a thread about and THEN COMMENT about how horrible it is.
My guess is this is Madison.
Guuuuurl if this is Madison then it’s everything!!!! So many questions, so many 😂
Or maybe it’s Hannah.
I just love Craig but he is definitely gossipy 😊. I agree Paige was completely rushing into a relationship that didn’t exist. I don’t get the allure of Austen. Why why why
I heard more than one person say on WWHL that “6-foot 5” is Austen’s attraction. Whatever…
I’ve never been particularly drawn to very tall men. Tall is fine, but so is short — as long as there is no Napoleon Complex.
And neither height nor shoe size means ANYTHING if you are thinking it relates to penis size! Lots of shortish Italian men are anything but short DOWN THERE! The two smallest weiners in my INTERNATIONAL experience belonged to tall men.
LOL! Me too! I dated a guy who was 6’8″ tall (I am 5’3″ short) and he had a very short but very thick penis. We were not compatible. LOL
Oh Craig is for sure a shit stirrer!! I got the appeal when he first came on Southern Charm. He seemed nice and funny. That didn’t last. So now it’s really hard to understand why these woman fall for him. I just don’t get it.
Yes Craig will ever be the hottie but that voice (cringe).
Haha agree 😂
I am just now sort of watching. I keep getting distracted with Project Runway setups. I just wanted to chime in an say that was NOT a low country boil. I edited that way without seeing the show. I had to breakup up the paragraphs in readable bites and sometimes that meant changing or deleting things. I didn’t want you to think that PCK said that. It’s hard to reformat things to fit the SEO when I haven’t seen the show.
I NEED TO KNOW just what defines an authentic Low Country Boil from an inauthentic one. Because I’ve known people from the Low Country of Louisiana who make it differently. And then there is the Georgia version and the South Carolina version.
I was taught to use Louisiana Crab (or Crawfish) Boil. But lately, it seems everyone uses Old Bay.
I started thinking maybe it was like meatloaf — everyone has their own version.
So, please TT, when you get caught up with recaps, give us a glimmer!
Maybe we need a Tamara Tattles Cookbook! Recipes from commenters from all over the world.
It’s not like meatloaf. The ingredients for a low country boil are shrimp, crabs if ya got em, sausage, corn on the cob, red potatoes, Big ole pot of boiling water, you can use whatever you want to season the water, Old Bay, Creole spices, fresh garlic or onions… throw in some lemon halves… doesn’t matter. Boil, strain out the water, Serve by covering a picnic table with newspaper dump it all out straight on the newspaper add lots of napkins and cold beer. It’s so easy we let the menfolk do it.
Louisiana is part of the low country. The can do low country boils if they want too, but mostly they do crawfish boils. Pretty much the same thing with different shellfish and crawfish boil usually are spicier than a low country boil. Unless I make the low country boil. I’d us Slap Yo Mama spices. It’s thing in a can. LOL.
I didn’t really pay much attention to Yankee Craig or Austen after I say they brought oysters on the half shell and something else stupid for their “low country boil.” 🙂
Growing up on the Chesapeake Bay that is how we did it, Old Bay of course. I got married in St Michael, Maryland (we split the difference between my family (VA/NC) and his family (NY), we had the “rehearsal” dinner the night before at a place called the Crab Claw with buckets of crab dumped on the tables (oysters & clams too) for a good old crab picking. Hmmm, his family all ordered the fried shrimp platters 🙁
Thanks PCK – Summer and Winter House are about the only shows left for me on Bravo. Also, love the lady who had the link on how to watch Melbourne, thank you and that channel also has the Great Kiwi Bake Off!
I definitely said “southern-ish” low country boil because Craig made it clear that Austen is an idiot and wasn’t following proper protocol 😂 I’m with Nanette, I need one in my life!!!! It always looks so good when I see them happen on these shows. Let’s all invite ourselves to TT’s and do it up in the backyard! No oysters allowed!! Thank you SJP! I miss Melbourne. I was able
To watch the first 2 seasons when Bravo aired them but now I have no clue how to do it.
What I wanted to know is where they got corn on the cob in Maine in the winter. I suppose it was frozen but yuck to that.
It has to be frozen. They’re so drunk I’m sure they can’t even taste it 😂
Great recap as always! I used to think Austin was a catch but that was his first year and I compared him against Shep.
I agree that Paige went too quickly with her scenarios but that doesn’t negate Andre being a fuck boy. The bringing her coffee, intense attention and then sharing with others that it’s not a thing and he’s talking to two other girls is what makes him a fuck boy.
Fuck boys get you hooked when their actions and words towards you are different than to what you say to others. So, yes, she jumped the gun but he wanted all her attention. Double standard and not transparent. He didn’t want her talking to other guys for the two weeks. Austin is doing the same thing. Saying Lindsay should know he’s been through a difficult relationship but is he acting like that’s a problem for him to get involved with Ciara?
I love watching this whole “having to hook up on vacations to have fun”. I forgot that it was similar but different 35 years ago. I think fuck boys weren’t as obvious prior to social media. And I think young women have a choice to be ok with hook ups as long as everyone is honest about what it is.
I feel like I’m getting a birds eye view into dating now versus when I was younger. Some things are different but some are still the same.
Thank you Pauline!! Can you imagine dating now? Jesus. Idk, I feel like Andrea is being nice but that doesn’t mean he’s wanting a relationship with Paige. Austen is HORRIBLE. What he did to Lindsay is so messed up. I was hoping the Madison debacle would have humbled him a bit but NOPE.
Amanda crying to the point she was hugging Craig’s hips; consoling Amanda who is in such deep grief on Paige’s behalf? What!? She needs to get a grip.
She was also very drunk 😂
If that is what alcohol does to her, it may be high time she dials it back 😭
Hahahaha very true 😂
First off I like Jason’s room the best. The wood paneling is so cozy & perfect for a Vermont chateau. Why aren’t all the single ladies interested in him? He’s sweet, polite, employed and cooks?!? Ladies he is everything Austin isn’t and will never be! Go for JASON!!
I don’t think Luke deserved the harsh reaction from Julia over the note. It was a note & a very innocent one to boot. It wasn’t his fault that Gabby fancied him & he let her down gently. I guess I have a soft spot for him. He’s been in a lot of situations he doesn’t deserve to be in. Side eying you hannah so happy your gone.
Andrea can grace my tv screen anytime.
GO FOR JASON IS RIGHT!! I think Julia was upset because of what happened with Gabby, and also she’s made it clear she has a boyfriend. Luke is a piece of work. I feel bad for him because he seems truly unaware of how he comes across. I don’t think he’s malicious but he tends to hurt women who are interested in him. Idk. He’s not on an Austen level but def not a Jason level either.
So…………….After watching, I am fairly convinced that Luke might be gay…..Not that there is anything wrong with it.
But he is weird a f when it comes to women. I don’t think he is a bad guy, just pretty odd. Like he wants to be a big brother or best friend with all of them.
Or maybe he just likes being friends and doesn’t like sex, or he has a micropenis.
So, what does he do to cover up his weirdness? He pretends to go after the girl with a boyfriend!
The whole Paige & Andrea thing is fake for drama. I mean, who wouldn’t know that that guy is extremely into chasing and getting women? I like Paige and highly doubt she is that dumb. On the other hand, does someone have to have long term romantic interest just to go on a date?
No, no they don’t.
Way to go Lindsay! Wait til everyone is drunk and will overreact to what you “had” to tell Paige that night. So urgent it couldn’t wait til the next day!
That’s an interesting take on Luke. I’m not sure what it is but he definitely chooses women that aren’t interested in him or they are in a relationship. Ciara is so gossipy with Paige that I feel like we would know if he had a micro penis. Lindsay understands her assignment, drunk or sober. I love her for that!!
Interesting take. I get NO gay vibes from Luke at all.
Me neither.
Love your recap! My favorite line about Paige – ‘She’s snarky, shallow and amusing’….hahaha! You definitely are correct about snarky and shallow. What in the world is wrong with Paige and Ciara – way too desperate and delusional for my taste. Can someone please tell me the attraction of Austen…he is the worst! And poor Luke, always chasing the wrong girl.
Omg your name!!! 😂😂 Cannot love it more!!!! Haha thank you! She is so snarky and entertaining. Wouldn’t want to be her friend in real life but would love to sit next to her at some awful event so we could
Talk shit together 😂 I’ll never understand the appeal of Austen. Ever.
Jason is so cute! I also question why the ladies don’t drool over him? Austin just doesn’t get it. He’s tall but that’s all! In a platonic sense he’s alright but such a mess in his love life. You see little looks that Paige gives Craig so far that she liked him. Paige’s issues of the heart just made her be blind to Andrea’s over the top flirting. I mean too much! When guys know they’re hot it’s like they’re walking around whipping their penis around. You just gotta be realistic with men like that. Ok ..ok you’re hot Andrea but you’re doing too much. Luke is hot but oh so complicated. Amanda bawling her eyes while Paige watched her was hilarious! The way she(Paige) kept looking towards Craig while he consoled Amanda. As usual Kyle is somewhere else.
Another great recap. I do love this show. I don’t watch Southern Charm so I didn’t have any sort of opinions on Austen or Craig before this show. I’m actually OK with both of them. I don’t get a gay vibe from Luke, I just get an awkward around women vibe. I’ve known guys like him who were fat as children and even when they got into shape as adults, they still had that awkward fat kid mindset.
