It’s Summer House recap Monday! The zoo is slowly on the mend. Shall we take all the good will from Easter/Passover and give grace to our favorite heathens? NOPE. What fun would that be? Let’s get judgy as shit and begin! We pick up at the winery with Lindsay and Amanda talking. Lindsay is telling Amanda that she’s ok. Amanda feels like it’s a cry for help. Andrea is telling Paige that he’s not just a piece of hot man meat. Underneath his HOT exterior lies a man with feelings and heart, damn it! Paige pretends to care. Lindsay calls Ahmed, which is a disaster. I really like Lindsay but damn. Poor Ahmed never stood a chance. Everyone goes out to a club. Even Mya! Everyone except for Paige and Ciara that is. The gang has a blast. Ciara and Paige are morphing into the bed at this point.
Pre-Nupping It Up
Hell has frozen over y’all. Ciara used a Lysol wipe to clean an actual surface in the house. It’s an Easter/Passover miracle! Ciara is having a quarter life crisis. She isn’t sure if she wants to continue nursing. Paige and Ciara do an Access Hollywood segment. Paige touts “tennis court chic that has comfortbility”. TT, that’s not a typo lol. Amanda and Kyle are talking about the wedding. Phew, Amanda is sheltered as hell when it comes to money. Her father handles her finances with multiple accounts. Who does that, especially at her age? They must be BIG rich. I’m shocked her father didn’t insist on a pre-nup to begin with! Amanda’s parents come to the apartment to discuss the wedding. Her dad is less than thrilled about the amount of work that still needs to be done. He looks like an older Kyle, doesn’t he? Creepy.

Older Kyle asks them point blank if they’re ready to be married. Kyle fillabusts the answer but clearly they’re not. Kyle is in a lot of debt. Then, Kyle brings up the pre-nup. Her father wants to talk to an attorney about it. Her dad is trying to drive the point home that when you marry, accounts mesh together. It’s not his or hers, it’s ours. That leads me to a question: do couples who live together or who are married do that? In my marriage I have my account, Husby has his and we have a shared bills account. Are we not doing it right? Oh, Amanda’s grandpa has a trust that has to be considered in all of this. BIG RICH. Amanda jokes about hiding money. Her dad doesn’t find it funny. Can we have a spinoff about all THIS? We would totally watch Big Rich Jersey!
Hot Hubbs Summer Forever!
Everyone returns to the Hamptons for the final weekend. They go to a cute restaurant for a group dinner. Kyle and Amanda are upset because their florist canceled their order three weeks before the wedding. Kyle is freaking out. Amanda nags Kyle about his drinking. Has she done anything for the wedding? At the table, the conversation turns to Lindsay. She gives no fucks about anything these people say to her. Lindsay says this is her best summer. Kyle reminds her in front of everyone that she had a miscarriage. As if she’s forgotten. To her credit, Lindsay remained calm and cool. The same can’t be said for Kyle and Amanda. Kyle has been visibly upset since the car ride to the restaurant. Amanda seems to be in another world. Kyle loses it when everyone is having side conversations as Poor Luke is trying to talk about his date.

Paige tells Lindsay that there’s a dating double standard between men and women. Paige, who judges Lindsay the most. Total hypocrite. Amanda is crying. Mya and Ciara are talking. Kyle has enough and slams his fist on the table to shut everyone up. Amanda cries and storms off. Kyle and Paige argue when Paige calls Kyle the dictator of the table. Then, Kyle storms off. Kyle is feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. Paige tells the table that he’s a psychopath when he’s angry. She can’t understand why Amanda is marrying him.
Kyle comes back to the table to apologize. He says he’s in a lawsuit, he’s got lots of stuff going on with Loverboy, the florist canceled on them and his friend Luke was just trying to tell a story. He gets angry again which prompts him to storm away. Again. We end with TO BE CONTINUED.
Party In The Comment Section!
There is no trailer for next week’s Summer House recap. Boo! I’m sorry I was MIA in the comments last week. I read every single one but honestly was too sick to reply. This week is better. I promise to not only read but respond this week to the comments. Let’s do this because I know y’all have LOTS of to say about it!
HAHA! He Totally looks like an older Kyle! I’m no psychic, but I see trouble ahead for those two!! Duh! Nice recap, glad you are feeling better.
You can’t unsee it, right??? Aww thank you! Its nice to feel human again 😂
I thought Amanda’s dad was Kyle’s dad at first so yes, kind of weird and creepy. I also was surprised that her dad didn’t insist on a prenup. It sounds like she has some things to protect. Heck they made Kyle sign a wedding contract!
I don’t think her parents made him sign it. I think Amanda and Kyle had the agreement between them that he would pay them back if the wedding didn’t happen because of his drinking.
I wonder if her dad is the “investor” who’s insisting they sign a prenup?
Oh! Good point!
I’m officially starting the rumor 😂
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed how much Amanda’s dad & Kyle look alike. I can’t even imagine being Amanda’s age and NOT taking care of my own finances. I’ve been doing that since I was 17 and got my first job. Can someone explain to be why all of these people, who suck at relationships and their choices of significant others, keep giving relationship advice?
Same!! It’s crazy to me that she doesn’t handle her own finances. That’s a huge part of marriage, being able to juggle home bills/spending. Haha I didn’t have enough room to put it in the recap but Amanda and Kyle need not give relationship advice to ANYONE
I saw bits and pieces of this episode and I thought Amanda’s dad, who I thought for sure was Kyle’s dad (something creepy about that if you ask me) was saying that he took care of all of the finances for him and his wife because she maintains the household and takes care of him. I must have missed the part where he takes care of Amanda too? Maybe he just meant that because Amanda hit the lottery on TV he supervised what to do with unexpected paychecks. Amanda has had a job this whole time. Certainly she pays bills and rent. How old is she? My Daddy used to take care of some things for me in my early twenties. I believe he paid my car insurance, my mama was always sending me money here and there and blaming it on Daddy. I later found out it was him. After mama died, Daddy wanted me back closer to home and let me live in this house rent free, I just had to pay the property taxes. So I had saved enough money to buy the house from the estate when he passed. He also you to renew my car tags. I never knew that was a thing. And he stopped doing it in assisted living. I was driving home from a visit with him when I got pulled over for an expired tag. I didn’t even know what he was talking about. I literally didn’t even know it was a thing. So I had to pay to have my car towed to the house and ride with the tow truck driver and go get my tag updated. LOL. At least I knew about my car insurance!
That’s a sweet, humorous story about your Daddy. Thanks for sharing it!
And your Mama! Loving parents are such a gift!!
OMG that’s a sweet story and in some ways is and isn’t the norm. I did not come from much, so I guess there was not much to manage lol But my parents did pay for my university bills and car insurance because it was a cheaper deal.
When my siblings and I moved countries, we would fend for ourselves. My parents loved the thought of being able to travel to visit us as it was a holiday for them, but by that point, we all managed our own finances. When I would chat with my father, he would always ask how my finances were and whether or not ‘buying a house’ was in the cards. He was always proud to hear the progression of our savings and passed away before we bought our homes.
Awww that is so sweet!!! What a good mom and dad you had ❤️ Amanda said it somewhere in the episode that she knows how much is in her account but that her dad manages it. My dad died when I was 13 and had to learn a lot quickly to take care of myself and my younger sister (my mom was too grief stricken to function for a long time). So maybe I’m too harsh when it comes to this but I can’t imagine marrying my husband without knowing how to pay bills, balance a check book and just basic money knowledge. And also not stepping in to hear some of the burden on Kyles shoulders. As a viewer you can see him two seconds away from a stroke. If he had a mature partner who could say “hey, let me call around about the flowers. Don’t worry yet” or something to that effect, that could go a long way. God I love this show 😂
I want to know what kind of lawsuit is Kyle in …. is it over Loverboy or what??? And who knew Amanda had a trust fund. I am guessing that Amanda’s dad does NOT like Kyle even a little or he would maybe helped finance or partner with Kyle in Loverboy.
I would love to know the story on this !!
A quick Google says that it was between Loverboy and a distribution company in a contract dispute. The article also said that it was settled in September 2021 so that would have been right after the show would have been taped.
Now this explains the tremendous stress he exhibited. I know people hate Kyle, but I knew there had to be more to the story than a prenup, wedding contract, and wedding plans. Obviously they can’t discuss this on the show, but damn he was awful to her a times. Hopefully things are a bit better for them now since then.
The thing is, Kyle will always have business problems and he needs to learn how to manage without hurting Amanda. I wish them luck. 😬
I agree that Kyle needs to manage his stress better – but Amanda doesn’t seem like she does much? If it is all on him – which I can believe since daddy still handles her finances – that is an additional stress he does not need – Amanda needs to put her big girl panties on and grow up
But on the other hand.. if the father runs her finances… why did he insisted Amanda get a prenup To protect her grandfather’s assets? Especially because he doesn’t seem to be such a big fan of Kyle. Amanda should get a percentage for each years she’s in the marriage since she put some work into it and quit her job to run it far full-time.
“Didn’t “
As far as I can tell, Amanda has no part in “running” Loverboy. She’s the product marketing person. We haven’t seen her involved in any business decisions. But clearly from the discussion with her parents, it is Amanda who needs a prenup more than Kyle, so she won’t be on the hook for all his debt and her inherited assets are protected. It’s hard to believe that, at their ages, they are so naive about finances. I actually felt sorry for Kyle this episode for the first time ever.
And for Ciara when she cried about nursing with so many people dying. The medical profession has changed with the pandemic, and many more of them will be leaving medicine IMO. It’s never been an easy profession, but in these times, at 25 years old, I feel for her.
Glad you’re feeling better PCK! For some reason, I thought last night’s show was the finale, but I guess not. Yay.
Aww thanks Deb!! I agree with all you said. I actually felt bad for Kyle too. You can see the stress he’s under and not not have a fiancé who is also a true emotional partner…it’s not going to end well. I felt for Ciara as well. The pandemic changed the medical landscape forever. I have family who are nurses and doctors and it’s taken such a toll on them. She has to do what’s right for her professionally.
I think it’s her dad who is the “investor” who’s insisting on a prenup to be honest. He doesn’t seem like a stupid man and he handles all the finances. I’m thinking he’s the one, behind the scenes, that’s pushing the prenup.
Ya. Me too! You have mad observation skills!
😂😂❤️❤️
Ok only hear to talk tennis outfits, I mean here I was looking for my grunge tennis motif and she pulled it out of a hat. Gen X men is rolling over in my grave, enough trying to make these idiots fashion icons!!
Lindsey, these poor men, never stand a chance. Hope she doesn’t pull this with Carl.
*me not men
I hope she and Carl live happily ever after. I feel like if Lindsay feels protected emotionally, she’ll be so much better in a relationship. I hope that’s the case anyway!
I also have my own bank account and so does my husband. We put money into our joint account each payday to pay the household bills ! We never fight about money ! Oh, and no prenup either. Lol
We did the same until we went to one paycheck. Hubby is a stay at home dad and I bring home the bacon.
Go Maria!!! Bring home that bacon!
Haha no prenup here either but that’s how Husby and I do it. We have our own plus the shared one for bills/household stuff. I can’t imagine it otherwise honestly.
I think the entire prenup situation is completely fabricated by production. Amanda has made it clear from day 1 that she wants to stay at home and have babies, like her mom. There is no way that a prenup wasn’t discussed by her parents before this and already underway. I also really doubt that they waited until 3 weeks out to start discussing details. To spend the money they claim was spent on the wedding (which also required a contract between her parents and Kyle?) zero chance they didn’t also make sure a prenup wasn’t in place to protect Amanda. People with trusts are not this casual about protecting their futures/money.
If it’s a trust she had before she came into the marriage, the money may already be protected without a prenup. It’s assets during the marriage that are community property. If she wants to stay home and have babies, they may not want a prenup because then she wouldn’t be entitled to the profits from loverboy or any other venture Kyle got into. Since it’s pre-marital debt, she may not be on the hook for a lot of it anyways.
Paige and Ciara are without a doubt the laziest women I’ve ever seen. Not only lazy but messy. Who would want these two for a partner? They contribute nothing to this season but blabbing around in bed.
I love Lindsey and for Amanda to give her advice is the funniest thing to watch. Amanda whose life is screwed up so much and does not have a lick of business sense. All she wants to do is to have complete control of Kyle’s life. These two will never make it. They both act like two-year-old children. Why on earth does Kyle feel he is so important that he should control the entire season? I am sick of him and his whining and Amanda’s also.
I loved the look between Lindsey and Carl. They might have just been in the friend zone then but it was clearly respectful and will be there always for you look.
I hope kyle/Amanda/and Ciara are all fired. And please do not bring Austin back for a visit BRAVO.
I’d like to see them shift this crew into an NYC-based show focused on their lives all the time. Follow Danielle to Aspen as she flys out to see Robert etc. Recast the existing show for 20 somethings getting wasted in the Summer. Paige can be punted to Southern Charm and she can take Ciara with her. Keep Mya and her new man.
I know I am in the minority but I am rooting for Kymanda damnit! I think Kyle feels entitled sometimes because it was his group of friends that had done summer houses for years and started the show and he pitched the idea for Winter House. None of them would be there raking in the $ and living the high life if it wasn’t for him. That said – do some yoga, smoke some pot, etc. and calm down Kyle!
I agree. Maybe Kyle gets so wasted on the weekends because he works so hard during the week.
Both Carl and Amanda have said he works TOO hard.
Yes he works so hard and doesn’t seem to have a partner who shoulders anything emotionally, physically or financially.
First of all I so hope you are all better! There is one nasty bug going around for sure.
I am at a loss as to how Kyle and Amanda are doing what they are doing. Back in the back days , her parents had influence with her and were not thrilled with this match up to start with. Even if they have resigned themselves to this being the way it is, I would think they would be forceful about the prenup. I mean Amanda is no Becca and Kyle is no Jack (This is Us….yes, I am obsessed) this isn’t the love story of the century.
I am so zoned out on Lindsay, Paige and Ciara. They are all just spoiled little girls who navigate through life like no one else matters but them. It scares me that this is the “new” woman and the attitude is one that greatly resembles the men they were trying to be better than. Just saying……
Hugs PCK!
Awee Sunday thank you!!! We’re just about back to normal. As normal as we are anyway 😂 Hope you and your family are staying healthy and enjoying some of this gorgeous weather we’re having!! It’s crazy to know that they get married after all of this. We’ll keep watching of course but what a train wreck.
Paige and Ciara act like kardashians. They lie about all day then show up looking fab wherever the party is.
They’re the worst
It seems like Lindsay does not like to work or help with the finances at all. Then she points the blame at Kyle and says “why are you so stressed out, what is wrong with you?!” I think she also doesn’t want to grow up.
Ugh. I meant Ananda!
Amanda
Totally knew who you meant 😂 And yes I completely agree
OH, I forgot to mention. “Comfortbility” was beyond funny to me, and not one person batted an eye. Hilarious.
She said it so nonchalantly…wtf???😂
Great recap. I used to love Paige but I’m so disappointed in her behavior and hypocrisy. And after those tennis outfits and especially the one she said you could wear on a date .. I just can’t!!
I’m older so I love watching how dating has changed and I’m often amazed that you can be talking to someone every day, having sex but it’s not considered a relationship or even dating. I’m sad how some things have stayed the same … women slut shaming and also blaming the other woman the abusive narcissist lied to instead of holding fuck boys accountable and having higher standards for themselves and their “sisters” who have been used and humiliated by users who have perfected their craft.. Victim blaming needs to stop.
Thank you so much!! I wholeheartedly agree with you. The whole mentality is so sad. Paige is my biggest disappointment.
Thanks for great recap and so glad you’re feeling better!
Ah, yes, “comfortability”. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve heard this, esp. on reality tv. And even from some purported mental health professional on tv talking about people needing the “comfortability” to be able to talk about their problems.
Just like “conversate” instead of “converse.” Most recently heard this used by Memphis (the nurse-practitioner) on 90-Day Fiance.
Had wanted to post about this earlier, not sure if it has been, now kind of an afterthought
re: the ‘friend’ Carl brought to the house, “Mackenzie” . As soon as she was shown on their earlier date, knew I recognized her from somewhere and when her name flashed on the screen, sounded like who I was thinking of. Another reality show wannabe.
She was on the Summer 2020 season of “Love Island”, the one Justine and Caleb won:
https://tamaratattles.com/2020/09/25/no-no-no-i-thought-love-island-would-last-forever/
If I recall correctly was “dumped” from the “Island” partway through for being such a domineering, unreasonable jerk to the guy she paired with, “Connor”, I think. I remember her being voted against by the public on one of the public vote-ins and she was completely “shocked” that she wasn’t popular. Came off really badly. I guess hooking up with Carl was another kick at the reality tv can.
These chicks kill me Lindsay and Danielle! When Summer House or they hit the scene they would drag to the house any guy that would give them the time of day. After Lindsay got dumped by her so called boyfriend!🤣 Those two chicks would screw anyone with a bulg in their pants! Very promiscuous if you ask me bc Danielle is Latina and I remember it well. Not saying that all Latinas are saints but she’s a follower!! Lindsay & Carl will not last unfortunately bc he has seen almost every guy she’s been with. She’s also very public abt it & that cheapens her. I don’t mean to shame her but what I see is a Will and Jada situation repeating itself! I hope I’m wrong. Peace 🙏
Wow! You certainly may not mean to shame anyone BUT that seems like all you know how to do. Also, I am sure Latinas around the world are thankful for your hall passes for them.
But…. but… but… she ended with prayer hands! ROFLMAO.
😂
Ummm wow 😂
So Amanda’s dad said he & his wife share their money because “…she feeds me, takes care of me…”. Uh – OK. Appears Amanda is following in her mom’s footsteps. Neither really like Kyle.
Paige is almost intolerable. So judgy about Lindsay and, well, everyone. She has become so conceited. She & Craig deserve each other. They will milk their “reality celebrity” as long as they can.
Loved that Lindsay called out the double standard. How about they all just leave Hubs alone.
I feel for Kyle but do think both he & Amanda need to grow the fuck up. Amanda’s lack of financial knowledge is ridiculous. Yea, just stay a child & let daddy take care of things.
Sober Karl is magnificent.
Love that Andrea shows his sensitive side.
Ciara is just a bore and basically clueless about how life works.
I love how loyal Danielle is without being blind to how things are. She & Karl seem to be the only adults in this house.
I feel like the shows not the same, once they brought in Paige and Ciara all they do is lay in bed and start trouble. The group all went out to party and Paige and Ciara stay home in bed talking about everyone. And Paige is such a spoiled brat and acts like everyone needs to bow down to her.
And Ciara if it wasn’t for Luke you wouldn’t be on the show, and you treat him terrible. Luke is truly such a good guy.
Keep, Carl, Lindsay, Danielle, Kyle, Amanda, Alex and Maya.
Paige as a fashion maven is beyond laughable. I keep wishing that CJ Bomb would weigh in on that “fashion” segment. Ciara didn’t even brush her hair!
What impresses me most this season is the genuine love that Carl and Kyle have for each other.
I keep hoping that Kyle will look at Carl and SEE what not getting wildman drunk can do to improve your life. Kyle stood by Carl when he was blowing it at work events with his drinking. And Carl is supporting and guiding Kyle when he messes up.
Carl is too classy and compassionate to proselytize. He wishes the best for his friend, but knows that ragging is not the way to get anything positive to happen. But, with his presence, he is letting Kyle know if he ever decides to stop drinking — it can be terrifying — he will be by his side.
Totally, totally agree with all you said. I actually like Kyle. I think he has a good heart and he means well. But he could really benefit from not drinking for a while.
