Phew, we’ve made it to the season finale Summer House recap! We did it y’all! Through all the ups and downs, screaming and slut shaming, prenup and Craig/Austen scenes, we’ve arrived. Though it will end with a wedding most of us don’t want to happen, I’m sure it will at least be aesthetically pleasing. We pickup with Kymanda still fighting. Amanda doesn’t feel like she has to do homework on important life decisions, such as a prenup. She’s so sheltered that it’s kind of sad.

Danielle decides to move to Charleston with Robert. Paige can’t believe Craig, the beacon of honesty he is, lied to her about not coming to the Summer House! Craig. Lots of hookups happen. Luke FINALLY gets to make out and play guitar for a woman! Alex and Ciara drunkenly kiss. Mya and Oliver have a sweet talk about their relationship. Prom is a success.
Weddings Should Be Fun
The next morning the gang wakes up to clean and say goodbye to the Summer House. The sparks between Carl and Lindsay are on full display. In the city the producers give us a small montage of Andrea’s underwear shoot. Thank you producers! Fifteen days before the wedding, Kymanda finds a florist. They also find Covid. No snark, it’s a shitty thing to happen before a wedding. Lots of tears as they quarantine together.

With all that they had to do, they never got a prenup. Holy fucking stupid. We quickly get to the day of the wedding. The guests arrive, each commenting on how huge her parent’s backyard is. It’s massive. All the Summer House crew is there. Even Austen and Craig. Gross. Carl is being a supportive, amazing friend to Kyle as he gets ready. Their genuine friendship is honestly my favorite part of this show.
Here Comes The Bride
Amanda’s dad breaks down in tears as she walks down the stairs. Damn it Amanda’s dad I have tears too! Amanda looks gorgeous. Her dress is simple, the veil is gorgeous. A truly beautiful bride. Amanda and Kyle do a first look before walking down the aisle. Kyle cries as we get a montage of some of Kymanda’s reasons to not get married. Yet, here we are.

Kyle’s parents escort him down the aisle. Then Amanda’s dad escorts her down the aisle. Carl officiates the wedding. He did a great job. Kymanda’s vows were sweet. We will discuss the love at first sight Instagram photo in the comments. Lindsay tells us that she and Carl have been spending a lot of time together. They hold off on relationship talk until Carl completes his year of sobriety. Everyone dances and has fun. The wedding happened. Praise be, it’s over!
Reunited And It Doesn’t Feel So Good
Next week on Summer House recap: It’s the reunion and Paige is an entire bitch. Stank face on for the majority of the time. She fights with Carl and Lindsay. Danielle and Ciara go at it. Alex drops the line of the reunion by comparing Austen to a Honda Civic lol. Paige is on WWHL with Vanessa Bayer. Paige denies slut shaming Lindsay. It’s on camera, girl. We saw it. Lots of games are played. Paige and Vanessa do a reenactment of the Amanda/Lindsay scene from a few weeks ago. Vanessa does a good job as Lindsay.

Paige and Vanessa give a rose and thorn for the Summer House season. Vanessa’s rose: Mya’s conversation with the gang about race. Thorn: Austen’s gaslighting and Andrea getting his face kicked. Paige’s thorn: When all the girls were fighting in the kitchen. Her rose is falling in love with Craig. Let’s continue in the comments!
Amanda did look beautiful – I loved her dress and veil — both were perfect for her! It was nice to see them so happy. Some people are stressed on their wedding day, but Kyle and Amanda seemed the least stressed that I’ve ever seen them.
I’ve been so impressed with Carl this season. I’ve always liked him, but I’ve particularly admired his ability to stay sober while everyone parties around him. You can tell that he feels good, but it can’t be easy.
Wish we could have seen Andrea find love this season. Hopefully next time. Thanks recapping, PCK!
Totally agree with everything! Team Carl! Everyone seems to be a Lindsey fan & I am not….I don’t DISLIIKE her (love her for entertainment value) but I seem to be the minority in thinking she’s an intentional dick. BUT I do hope they work out, for Carl’s sake. Amanda was channeling Carolyn Bessette. Flawless in her wedding dress. Prayers for them, they need it, I’ll choose to say positive.
I loved this episode ! I wish Kyle and Amanda the best. Thank you for recapping all this drama. I would love to see Danielle and Lindsey’s next steps. I think Lindsay just goes for what she wants. Danielle looked the best amongst the group. Her BF seems to be the perfect balance for her. Ugh on WWHLPaige is so catty. I think she is jealous that her relationship wasn’t the highlight since no one expected Carl and Lindsay to be back together.
Thanks for recapping! I love this show! I’ve watched it all but can’t figure out why Paige ( who is becoming so unlikable. I wonder what someone like Craig’s mom or Naomi thinks about her laziness??) is so mad at Lindsay during the reunion. Can someone remind me what the issue is? It can’t still be Austen the Honda Civic ( great one, Alex!)
I have come to hate Paige. And now Craig who I loved on Southern Charm when I watched it. Lindsay has grown on me and she and Carl seem good together. Yay for Luke finding someone! Andrea also deserves love. I like Mya but Ciara WTF? She is so unlikeable now. I hold out little hope for Amanda and Kyle in the long term.😬 Danielle and sober Carl are the best! Can’t wait for the reunion. Lastly most of the cast are now too old for this show.
It will be a toss up as to who will be laziest. Craig has lived in a pigsty for most of Southern Charm. The only reason his pillow company got off the ground was because someone he went to college with got involved. Otherwise he would still be at home with a hangover waiting to day drink with Austin and Shep. Hope their Bravo money lasts so they can afford a maid to clean up for them.
I agree about Paige — used to really like her but that has changed this season.
Another great recap. Amanda’s parents truly did her a disservice by raising her to be such an entitled little girl. The wedding was absolutely beautiful (didn’t care for the fact that Amanda got a portion of her vows from Craig). Carl did a great job officiating. You can tell that he & Kyle love each other like brothers. I hope that Kyle & Amanda have a long, happy marriage, but sincerely hope that they’ve signed off on a post-nup that’s fair to both of them. I was so happy to see Luke finally have someone to spend time with at the house. I’ve liked him from the first time he walked into the Summer House and have hated watching the way the women in the house have treated him. Carl has always been my favorite — even in his drunkenness — and I love that he’s taking his sobriety so seriously. I only hope that he finds happiness with Lindsey and she doesn’t end up hurting him. I like Danielle and Robert together but wonder if her moving to Charleston will mean she won’t be able to participate in Summer House next season. Love Mya and hope that her relationship works out. Paige and Ciara, what can I say . . . don’t like them, wish they wouldn’t be back next season, but I know they will be because they bring the drama. Enjoyed Andrea’s photo shoot and hope he can find someone to fall in love with who will love him back. Alex, finally toward the end of the season, seemed to fit in with this group. That’s so hard for a newcomer to do. I’m looking forward to the Reunion show next wee. I’m sure it won’t disappoint.
I have to say I like these kids! It sure looked fun to be them at that wedding, working in NYC and making good money, spending the weekends in the Hamptons, falling in love and getting married at the same time as their friends and my gawd was that Amanda’s parent’s backyard?!!! I must admit I got slightly jelly.
So next week I’m sure I won’t think they are so cute anymore, lol!
There are rumors, and they are NOT FROM MY BEST SOURCE so take it with a grain of salt, that they are looking to recast the show with three or four new people next season and thus getting rid of three or four from this season. No word on who. And that is only if they can cast people they think would fit.
I think Ciara is mean, so I hope she goes. Paige is a great villain, so she can serve that role with Lindsay vying for second spot.
I think Amanda and Kyle are going to be okay. They get each other’s crazy. 🧡
Wow not sure if it’s the menopause or the fact Covid has stopped so many weddings but I cried happy tears for Kymanda.
Going to my first real life wedding in a few weeks since Covid I’m beyond excited.
Reunion looks very interesting.
Great recap, as usual.
Princess Paige and Countess Ciara are disgusting. I don’t understand why everyone lets them get away without doing any work. If I were in charge I would give them an ultimatum — either do your share of chores or pay for housekeepers to come during the week and clean. (I have a feeling that happens, just make them pay.)
I had a friend who was very attractive. I used to say, “I hope she never has an accident that ruins her looks …” After not seeing her for years, we found each other online. She was solo, trying to make ends meet. She suddenly dropped out — we found out she is under a conservatorship. Watch out, cute lazy girls … looks fade.
Aren’t they just there for the weekend? How much mess could they make in two or three days? It’s a vacation. Maids will arrive when they leave. Why is everyone pissed that they choose to spend some of their time just laying in bed and chatting? I can see expecting them to help with meals. But, whining about them hanging out in their room seems odd to me. Bare in mind my comments who doesn’t really watch this show that much. It just seems there must be more to it in not cleaning for y’all to have such vitriol. I’m just confused.
Ciara and Paige spent an entire summer like sloths hiding in their disgusting bed. They are both lazy and entitled and use their looks to hide the fact that they have no personalities. Paige saying she’s smarter than Craig on WWHL last night — lolz. Craig may lack common sense, but he has brains. Paige wouldn’t last a day at law school.
I think they were so jealous of Lindsay because Lindsay was having an actual summer, she wasn’t laying in bed glued to her phone.
Good riddance. It is the Kyle and Paige show. Paige is a mean girl… don’t need to tune in to watch a B be a B. Kyle is a drunk. Don’t need to tune in to see a drunk be drunk.
I think Ciara and Paige laying around is what summer is for. I never saw anyone ask them and they refused. Again, they are there for the weekend and cleaning people come during the week. Would it annoy me? Yes but I would say something and not be passive aggressive. I’m more upset that Ciara threw glass at Danielle. Not cool.
I know I’m in the minority but I don’t think Paige was slut shaming. Lindsay did get back at Ciara and was all about Austin until Austin wasn’t there so I think it was more about her hypocrisy than it was about her hook ups. I wish Paige had more compassion because I looked at Lindsay as covering up a lot of hurt this summer. If she was out having a great time, I’d be all there for it but her intensity with Ahmed made me look at the situation entirely differently.
The reunion looks juicy! I enjoyed the wedding. I doubt they’ll ever split up. Amanda’s mom and dad will always help out with money. I think the prenup was a story line. With how much control Amanda’s parents have, it would’ve been done to protect her if it was a real thing.
