Paige Desorbo’s surprising confession at the Summer House Reunion

One of the more personal moments came before filming started when Andy and Paige chatted about her breakup with Craig Conover. Andy asked if she was ready to answer more questions about it. Paige’s reply was refreshingly honest:

“I don’t say this often, but I’m sick of hearing about myself.”

It was a simple line, but it showed how the constant spotlight can affect reality stars.

Paige also joked that no matter what:

“I’m sure at least some fan will have a new question to ask about the split.”

That playful diversion allowed fans a glimpse into Paige's demeanor as she deals with the pressure but does so with her humor intact. It was a reminder that despite all of the dramatics play and press about the show, the cast are still real people engaged in real feelings. This is the kind of moment that made the Summer House Reunion feel more real, and not in a somewhat forced way.

Behind the scenes at the Summer House Reunion

Andy Cohen kicked off the reunion in style, rocking a custom-made robe that matched the Snoozefest-themed set.

It was an unusual look for the host, but it fit perfectly with the vibe. As each cast member joined him on stage, Andy had some fun with seating arrangements and witty commentary. Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller arrived early, excited to see the set inspired by them. Paige said:

“I’ve waited so long for this,” showing how much the reunion meant to the cast.

When Carl Radke and Lexi Wood took their spots on the couch, Andy joked:

“Carl, you arguably have the best seat in the house between Ciara and Lexi!”

The rest of the cast arrived, including Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Gabby Prescod, Imrul Hassan, and Lindsay Hubbard. In the clip, Lindsay and Gabby's freshly cut hairstyle was seen and Andy praised their new hairstyles. The last to join were West Wilson and Jesse Solomon, who immediately jumped into catching up with their castmates and Andy. These off-camera moments set a relaxed, playful tone before the reunion filming officially began.

Future Summer House theme party ideas from the cast

During a break in filming, Andy and the cast started brainstorming ideas for future Summer House theme parties. The creativity flowed freely, with everyone throwing out fun and quirky suggestions. Among the ideas were a mock high school graduation, which would give them a chance to relive those days with a humorous twist.

Another suggestion was a Sadie Hawkins party, where the traditional roles of asking someone out would be reversed, adding a playful dynamic to the gathering. These ideas revealed the lighter side of the Summer House Reunion, showing the cast’s enthusiasm for keeping the fun alive beyond the show. It’s clear that the group enjoys their time together and looks forward to more wild, themed nights in future seasons.

Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke’s unexpected reunion chat

Before the cameras started rolling, there was a funny exchange between exes Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke. They ended up talking about something unexpected: mail. Lindsay mentioned she still had some of Carl’s mail that was mistakenly delivered to her new apartment because they used to live together.

Andy asked:

“Anything good?”

Lindsay teased:

“A blow-up doll,” which immediately sparked laughter.

Kyle Cooke jumped in with his own joke, adding:

“Some lube.”

Carl took it all in good spirits, simply saying:

“Thank you,” with a laugh.

This lighthearted moment gave a rare glimpse of the cast’s easy camaraderie despite past relationship drama. It was a reminder that even after breakups, they can still joke around and keep things fun during the Summer House Reunion.
