Summer House Recap: Where Is My Lover Boy?

January 18, 2022 by tamaratattles 37 Comments

BY: POPCULTUREKELLY

Hello everyone! It’s been a hot second but here we are again for another Summer House recap! We are picking things up a few months after the crew left Vermont and the Winter House. We have two new faces plus one familiar one. Mya, who is beautiful, is Paige’s friend from New York. Alex is Andrea’s friend who is a cutie. Then we have Andrea! Did we know Andrea would be a cast member? It’s SO GOOD to see the whole crew back.

In the words of Keely from Ted Lasso, Carl is looking MAD FIT. He’s 6 months sober and it  looks amazing on him. Watching him struggle with drinking, then losing his brother has cemented him in my heart. I will forever root for him. Lindsay is still dating Jason casually. Danielle looks radiant. Paige and Ciara look…the same. Paige has been seeing both Craig and Andrea so that should be interesting. The words “I still have feelings for Austen” came out of Ciara’s mouth. She must have had Covid because she clearly lost her taste. Amanda and Kyle are 2 months away from getting married. Luke hasn’t arrived yet. 

Summer House RecapLindsay Gets Activated! 

The gang goes out for the first framily dinner. There’s a round table of relationship statuses. We learn Mya is newly single after being engaged for 5 years. Alex, who is super cute, is single. Danielle is glowing over her relationship with Robert. Kyle does not want to get married. I should say, he probably wants the big party but not the actual marriage. He freaks out about Amanda wanting a house and a kid. You know, the things she’s been telling him for 5 years that she wants. Again, it should be interesting.

Paige is single but dating BOTH Craig and Andrea. Andrea wanted her to only date him. She ghosted him lol. Say what you want about Paige but I LOVE her game. When it’s Lindsay’s turn, she gets hyper defensive. She blames Carl for being pressured to say her status. Basically, she’s casually dating Jason but seems to not be feeling it anymore. Carl and Lindsay have both confirmed they are now together so YAY! Danielle says Lindsay’s going through stuff so she’s lashing out. 

Summer House RecapKyle Fights For His Right To Party

Everyone (except Carl and Lindsay) goes out to a club because they can! Covid what? Carl goes right to bed. Lindsay showers then cries alone on her bed. What’s wrong with her? The rest of the gang arrives home, minus Kyle. Kyle is still at the club I guess. Amanda calls him. 1, 2, 6, 9, 27 times! No answer. She packs his bag and throws it on the porch. Then she smashes all his bathroom products.  Production shows him drinking his ass off back at the club. Paige and Amanda go to comfort Amanda. Amanda tells them that Kyle has done this recently. They had gone out one night where Kyle got so drunk he wouldn’t leave the club. Amanda had to call her mom, who called a car service for her.

They ended up signing a paper that said if Kyle cannot control his drinking then the wedding gets called off. He also has to pay Amanda’s parents back every penny of the money they spent on the wedding. Ummm…sounds like a raging fucking disaster. Yet, as we all know, they get married. So there’s that. Kyle stumbles home at 4am. He’s talking to food, completely unaware of what he is walking into. He comes in to see Paige and Ciara in his bed. The three girls leave the room, leaving Kyle alone to walk on broken Kyle belongings in the bathroom, wondering what could possibly be wrong. 

Summer House RecapLove And Loss 

The next morning, Carl wakes up at 7am to do his daily routine. He’s surprised to see Kyle’s belongings on the porch. In his underwear, Kyle brings his stuff in from the porch. Paige and Ciara lay in bed discussing the Kyle/Amanda situation. Ciara, who has zero sense in her own relationship with Austen, can even see what a hot mess this is. She says that Kyle’s red flags are fireworks. She and Paige both agree they shouldn’t get married. Later, we see Kyle and Amanda and Kyle fighting some more. Amanda tells him he can’t control his drinking. Apparently, they’ve discussed all of this in therapy. Tons of yelling back and forth. Absolutely the way a relationship should be. Jesus.

Carl stops in to see Lindsay. Lindsay confesses to Carl that things are complicated with Jason. A month prior she found out that she was pregnant. The day after she found out she was six weeks pregnant, she miscarried. She ended up in the ER. It seems like she’s still processing it all. Carl is shocked. He immediately asks if she’s ok.  My heart breaks for her. All she wants is love and a family. I love seeing Carl being there for her. 

Extra Extra, Just Because I Love You All 

What an episode! They came back guns blazing. Since I’ve missed you all so much, here’s another rendition of “I watched WWHL so you don’t have to.” Kyle and Carl are the guests. God. Carl looks good! Amanda and Lindsay cutouts are behind the bar. Andy asks Kyle what he was doing while Amanda called him. He kind of dodges the question but admits he ignored the calls after missed call #14. A poll asks if you would still marry Kyle. A resounding 86% said no. You know, people with common sense.

Andy asks about the contract. Kyle says that the contract “gave him skin in the game.” Even Andy is shocked. He’s engaged to her-isn’t that enough skin in the game? Jesus. Next poll question, are Carl and Lindsay a good match? Audience agrees they are a good match. He’s so sweet. He gives such a sweet answer about how happy he is with her. Carl says they began to get together at Kyle and Amanda’s wedding. Kyle says it’s going to be tough for Amanda’s parents to watch this episode. No shit. Neither of the guys miss Hannah. When asked who has the best sex in the house, Kyle answers “not me.”

My husband is working as I’m watching this. When Kyle said that, my husband turned to me and said “Can you imagine his wife watching this? They really got married?” lol. When asked about Austen’s appearance on WWHL, Carl says Austen regrets how he treated Lindsay. Kyle says he was hurt watching Paige and Ciara say that Amanda shouldn’t marry Kyle. He understood it but it hurt.

Kyle and Amanda didn’t watch this episode together. I wish she was in the audience because I would LOVE to know how she feels watching that back. Carl and Lindsay spend every night together. He just loves being with her. Aww. Kyle doesn’t feel Ciara and Austen could be a good couple. Phew, even the WWHL was good! Thank you so much for reading. Let’s discuss more in the comments!

    Hi PCK—thanks for the recap. Glad to see you again!

    Amanda broke my heart. She is stuck in a nightmare rut with Kyle never taking responsibility for his drinking and the ensuing antics. I wish we didn’t know she married him. Ugh. I love Kyle, but he is not going to change. He needs to take Carl’s advice and lose the drinks. Amanda, lover boy, everything would get better. When someone drinks until they can’t remember or be responsible, they shouldn’t drink without support. Amanda is over it already. Omg.

    Paige is THE modern girl. Love her.

      Hi love!!! Thank you so much! I struggle with Amanda sympathy. A part of me never wants to see anyone hurting. She’s a young, beautiful, smart woman who keeps choosing this chaotic life. It’s hard to watch but she’s choosing this. I think most of us have been in bad relationships where it’s hard to see just how damaging it is. It makes me sad that she married him. Time will tell I guess. Paige is the bomb isn’t she???? I love her confidence and her game. Get it all guuuurl!!!

        My only thought re Amanda and Kyle is that it makes me want to scream at my TV that as a young woman I think we’ve nearly all been there dating absolute dipshits who treated us like crap but we NEVER married them. That is the difference date them, break up go back but you don’t marry them ! They are good only to realise how you don’t want to be treated in your next long term relationship. Amanda is young and I hope she doesn’t have a child with Kyle he ain’t ever going to change without going full teetotaller Amanda should not even think about bringing a child into this relationship until they’ve sorted Kyle’s drinking out

      Totally with you !! Amanda needs to get her sh*t in order – bc unless this is all for TV she isn’t going to be enjoying the next 50 years of trying to control a “playboy” drunko – and it’s not like he’s rolling in success. He’s like every other Manhattan bro who thinks they are rich (news unless your making millions in NYC, your not rich in NYC). I clearly have issues with them

    Great recap! You hit every nail on the head with this one (and the WWHL episode). Was anyone else bothered by the fact that there wasn’t a mask to be seen in the restaurant they went to — including on the servers? It does explain why Ramona loves going to the Hamptons.

    I feel limited sympathy for Amanda. Kyle has shown her year after year what sort of person he is and she married him anyway. I just don’t get it. I felt so badly for Lindsey when she was explaining to Carl what had been going on in her life. They both seem ready to be with each other now so I’m happy for them.

    Good Lord, I am to the part where they briefly showed them all at a packed CLUB with no masks. I felt like maybe at the restaurant they had a private room for filming. But, apparently, Covid isn’t a thing in 2021 in the Hamptons. WOW. Kyle is literally hugging strangers at the club!

      I think this took place in June. That was the “if you’re vaccinated and you’re young, you can have a regular life” month. Then 60,000 people descended upon little Provincetown, MA for July 4th weekend and partied like it was 2019. Despite the fact that 92% of the gay community is vaccinated, 972 people got the Delta variant as a consequence of that weekend, nearly 300 of them Provincetown residents.(Luckily, only seven were hospitalized and nobody died.) That was the wake up call that you couldn’t have the summer you thought you could.

    I feel bad for Amanda. I’ve been that girl. If only he would stop doing this one dumb thing! HOW HARD IS IT? Then you think of all the time you’ve invested/wasted and just want to try to make it work. Is it dumb? YES. But I think lots of us have hung in there longer than we should have.

    ON THE OTHER HAND, it’s not just the drinking. (Which is bad enough on it’s own) but to say while drunk that “buying a house together makes it serious” or whatever dumb shit he said makes it clear HE DOES NOT WANT TO MARRY YOU. RUN AWAY! END IT! I wonder how long this sad marriage will last. When they divorce will they both still be on the show?

      See I find it hard to feel bad for her. I’ve been her too. She has the advantage of living it PLUS watching it back. If you had that kind of mirror, wouldn’t it have dawned sooner for you? I would like to think it would have for me. This is 5 years of the same behavior over and over and over. Then him saying that he doesn’t want get married repeatedly on tv? NOPE! But she did so I guess we just wait and see how long it lasts. Raquel from VPR had the sense to leave James before marrying him. I wish Amanda had the same sense. I’m
      glad YOU had the sense and me too (eventually).

      Yep you think of the time and energy you invested and now add in the business aspect of it. And the balance slowly tips to their side.. he’s going to change 🙄🤞…And it never does. I think there is a blind out about somebody regrets there hasty marriage And wishes to get out and everybody assumes it’s Amanda and Kyle. Good guess!

    PCK, great to have you back!

    I have to watch SH and WWHL tonight because I couldn’t stay awake last night. I am glad for this recap because I won’t get so pissed knowing what is going to happen!

    I, too, have been the “if only he” girl. Never again. It only took me 50 years to learn it! Bwahahahaha!

    I DO HATE when people keep calling and calling and calling. Shite! Whatever did we do before cell phones! Get a fucking grip! If you can’t trust them … LEAVE!

    I hope Carl and Lindsay have a long and happy relationship. No more Austen! YAY!

        Lindsey is kick ass…..hopefully she finds meaning/strength in miscarriage. Hard stuff. ESP when one gets older..::bc it’s different, maybe one would choose to raise the child. I hope she has the family she wants when she’s ready. I would watch her doing NYC work. She’s a bulldog (a cute one!)

    Amanda is trapped. So many years she has invested in this guy that to start over would put her dreams of having a kid and family at risk. She has no money or career outside of jobs she got through her relationship with him. Her husband is a raging alcoholic and both of his jobs require him to consume alcohol. What a nightmare.

    And that’s not even getting into the cheating history.

    Yikes.

      I see it a little different. I totally see what you’re saying but is she trapped? She had a great job that I’m sure she could go back to (in that field anyway). Her parents are pretty well off so I’m sure they’d rather pay to help her get on her feet then a failed marriage. She would most likely lose the show, but other than that I can’t see her losing much else if she chose to leave. Maybe I’m judging too harshly but it drives me mad. She’s gorgeous, young and smart. Just kills me to see it all wasted on drunk Peter Pan 😂

        I agree with you! She would NOT be losing much. She’s well educated and skilled in a trade that’s super in demand. It’s also highly likely that she has some equity in the Loverboy brand. Truthfully, Amanda doesn’t need the show anymore. And it’s likely that Kyle needs Amanda A LOT more than Amanda needs Kyle.

    I’m not sure if this is true but Mya’s ex is Kwame from Top chef! Ah the bravo worlds really do interact . She is gorgeous . I don’t understand Amanda but they are married so she just accepted it. I don’t understand why she would have Kyle sign a contract that he would pay his parents back if she called off the wedding. It’s so wrong on so many levels

    Amanda needs to get her skinny butt in Alanon meetings. Her co-dependency makes my tongue itch. I haven’t watched this, yet, but obviously Kyle’s drinking is a big problem, and no, Kyle cant’t control his drinking. He doesn’t stop until he’s black out, pass out drunk. Getting married was a huge mistake. I really hope Amanda doesn’t get herself knocked up thinking that Kyle will grow up once there’s another little mouth to feed. Thanks for the great recap!

    FYI I am a female and addressing Amanda.

    Girls like her drive me crazy! Hysterics and drama and attention seeking. How many YEARS now? Maybe I felt for you the first 6 mo or so. But girl, I have your # and you are 5 years in!

    Hysterical and scream and shout about being done and break things and call 27 times. Yet we ALL know you will be back with him in a matter of hours.

    Amanda loves the drama and push me pull you Kyle creates. As does Kyle. Totally healthy ‘ship….

    Wasn’t it just last season , or maybe the season before, that Kyle was begging Amanda to set a wedding date and he was all upset that she wasn’t in a hurry? What happened to that guy?
    I hope Paige chooses Craig.

    I feel like Amanda and Kyle are in a relationship because of the show. She seems like a smart woman but the public perception of the whole thing has made her choose to stay in it. They are obviously doing the work but if Kyle wants to party and club while Amanda wants to get married and have a family then they should not have gotten married.

    Amanda should not have been with Kyle from season one when he made her into a booty call on national television!

    Mya seems sort of quiet. I wonder what her role will be this season. I am really interested in the Paige love triangle.

    What a great premiere! This show gets better each year.

    I’ve felt that much of Kyle and Amanda’s drama has been for a storyline. I’ve never been a huge fan of them but the show’s better because of them. Someone has to be the villain.

    I’ve always been a fan of Lindsay and Danielle. To see Danielle so happy makes ME happy. And I’m never happy 😆

    Lindsay’s story interests me the most. What a horrible loss. I can’t imagine how difficult it is to process losing something that you wanted so badly. I’d love to see her in a healthy, positive relationship. How fabulous would it be if that person is Carl.
