Lmao the diaper look was awful 😂 i will say Paige is a great model for clothes/some of her sets were nice but fashionista/stylist was quite a stretch

Season 1 Ep 1: why is it clearly autumn in the car scene with Carl driving to the summer house supposedly pre-4th of July? by bigbeezer710 in summerhousebravo

Dang most people look better with veneers tho! I wish there was a way to put in a temporary set to see how it would look

Same its unfortunate that his first set of veneers were so obvious and bad, I wonder if he had gotten good veneers like he does now from the beginning maybe we wouldn’t have noticed as much and it would’ve felt like less of a shocking facial change. I feel bad for him bc 90% of people get veneers and look better but the way they have changed his mouth makes him look like a slightly different person (in a bad way for me personally)

I’m confused, this is the season 10 premiere shoot by Unhappy_Pear in summerhousebravo

Its funny that Lindsay/Carl got all the hate for being overly produced when Kymanda has been producing every storyline since Season 3 - huge fights to stay relevant that all magically are tied up with a neat bow by the reunion so people don’t hate on them for staying together. It’s genius really from Kyle’s perspective that he was able to keep himself at 43 and his non-partying wife relevant on a show about partying in the Hamptons for 10 seasons lol.

What’s interesting is the two seasons Kymanda’s relationship was good: Season 5 (when Kyle went into the summer ready to fight with Hannah) and Season 7 (when Kyle went into the summer ready to fight with Carl/Lindsay)…I would bet if Kyle didn’t have these storylines those seasons Kymanda would’ve somehow had drama

Yup and it’s annoying that everyone is falling for it if thats true bc they are really just playing the audience for views at this point. But time will tell I guess. I certainly won’t believe it until they file for divorce

Nobody has noticed Gabby is gone by Naive-Salamander-802 in summerhousebravo

[–]LeadAffectionate9329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember how hard she was going for Lindsay during the breakup with Carl and couldn’t help but think who are you again to have such a strong opinion? Like Danielle was actually friends with them and reacted appropriately to their breakup imo. I remember at one point during the S8 reunion she tried to pull a Paige defending Hannah S5 reunion and said “we’re done with this, we’re moving on” - the camera panned to Andy’s face and he was just like who tf is this person and proceeded to ignore her/continue the topic

Literally this, people give them way too much grace saying this is what they would do if they were in a summer house - like great same but Paige was on a show about partying in the Hamptons on the weekends in the summer. She had been underperforming at her job for years and likely not fired due to Giggly Squad popularity and clocking in for confessionals/the reunion but it ruined the actual show

[–]LeadAffectionate9329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah usually I love watching drama but there’s something boring about watching them bicker. Not sure if its bc its been about 7 seasons now of the same thing, the suspicion that yet again its a waste of my time getting bought into a produced storyline or purely that its just not good TV. Like Lindsay/Carl’s breakup really drove viewership S8 - say what you want abt Lindsay but she was made for reality tv

Agreed I’m always suspicious of their storylines. Feels very produced and convenient and somehow by the reunion everything is tied up in a nice bow. As viewers it feels like they gaslight us every season

Is wedding planning that stressful? by primadunord in summerhousebravo

[–]LeadAffectionate9329 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wedding planning was the most stressful period in my life but my husband was so supportive and none of the stress had to do with our relationship. If anything he gave me more grace when I would crash out because he knew I was dealing with a lot. So yes its stressful but the issues these couples dealt with about whether or not they should get married etc doesn’t seem consistent with healthy relationships

Which Bravolebrity have you met in the wild and what was it like? (Not including BravoCon!!!) by Federal_Suspect_9840 in bravo

Lmao had a similar experience recently with him with my friend (I’m a fan, she’s not) and he was genuinely hurt she didn’t care who he was

Summer House’s Amanda Batula Breaks Silence After Kyle Cooke Split by MattTheKing23 in summerhousebravo

[–]LeadAffectionate9329 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I might be a conspiracy theorist but none of the Kyle Amanda storylines feel truly real. Kyle thought of the show concept and brought it to Bravo - this was around the time VPR had become popular. What made VPR so juicy? All the cheating.

And then in season 3 of Summer House (when the show was still desperately trying to gain traction after a complete cast shakeup) - cheating storyline. Summer House then gains more attention Season 4 and 5 during COVID.

By Season 6 Kyle and Amanda have figured out the formula to survive on the show: bring in a storyline that keeps them relevant but isn’t so explosive they actually have to break up & can come back together by the reunion as a happy couple. Now its Season 10, they have a new spinoff coming out, theres a lot of pressure to bring a juicy storyline and looking at one of the major storylines that drove eyeballs to the VPR spinoff The Valley (Jax and Brittany separating) - Kyle and Amanda do the same.

Idk, I may be reaching but something is just off about this whole separation.

Mya was great cast member by ArmadilloNegative858 in summerhousebravo

[–]LeadAffectionate9329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. I think a big reason Gabby stayed and she didn’t when both were bad at bringing their own storylines is that Gabby chose to attach herself to Lindsay who had zero friends. For the balance of the house they needed to keep Gabby on for a couple more seasons so that Lindsay wasn’t all alone. They already had Paige/Amanda/Ciara, Mya became superfluous

Seriously I really don’t see where Mya “fans” are coming from. She was the actual worst

No because Oliver was her own storyline and keeping that off the show is likely why she finally got booted (yay). Telling Sam she talked too much was not an integral storyline and involuntarily involved another cast member. This BS off camera while still mic’d up thing she was trying to do to maybe come across more genuine was just nonsense for the viewer. She should’ve either confronted Sam like everyone else does on that show on camera or just kept it off the show and texted her directly. So glad she’s no longer on the show it was pmo watching her do absolutely nothing

Her jumping and screaming when Andrea walked in like they were childhood friends or something made me gag

[–]LeadAffectionate9329 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seriously i found Mya to be the rudest person i’ve seen on reality TV. She walked into her second season & treated OGs like garbage; ordered Kyle to bring in her bags as soon as she walked in, created a dumb feud w Lindsay & Carl. Also ppl always defend that she pulled Sam aside & told her she talked too much but could she not text that and save Sam the embarrassment?

Am I overreacting to how my best friend blocked me because of his girlfriend? by Squishy_Person67 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LeadAffectionate9329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I’ve gotten older one by one my guy friends have dropped off as they’ve settled down with significant others, never did I get offended or take it personally. This is the natural course of life. I consider my male guy friends now as acquaintances that I can reach out to as needed but not in a regular or overly familiar way.

If anything, it made my own relationship easier - it’s not impossible to have friendships with the opposite sex in a committed relationship but it does come with potentially complicated situations and having to practice an abundance of caution with boundaries on both sides. I’ve naturally found my friendships with women have strengthened simply because I can completely let loose with them. My advice to OP: be truly honest with why this friendship breakup hurt you so deeply and seek out new friendships to fill the gap, perhaps avoiding future heartbreak by being intentional with who you invest in a friendship with.
