As the countdown begins for the much-anticipated Season 10 of Summer House, cast members are reflecting on the journey that has led to this milestone. In exclusive interviews with Us Weekly, the reality stars expressed their excitement and hinted at the season’s dramatic storylines, particularly focusing on the evolving relationships and tensions within the group.
One of the most talked-about developments is the recent separation of Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula, announced on January 19, 2024. This personal turmoil is set against a backdrop of escalating drama among the cast. Lindsay Hubbard, who has been with the series since its inception, shared her astonishment at the show’s longevity, stating, “To think, ‘Holy cow, we’ve been doing this for 10 years.’ The fact that I have a kid and that we somehow come up with new things to talk about every year is even crazier.”
The season’s supertease reveals a physical confrontation between Kyle and Carl Radke, another original cast member. Carl explains that the conflict is a culmination of tension that built up throughout the summer, describing it as a “roller-coaster” of emotions. As he noted, “It starts light and fun. Something gets brought up, then it starts getting tense, then it gets light again… then, it starts getting crazy.”
Another focal point of the season appears to be the complicated dynamics surrounding Ciara Miller, who finds herself navigating flirtations with both her ex, West Wilson, and his friend Jesse Solomon. West commented on their shifting relationship, saying, “There are moments where we aren’t mortal enemies anymore,” suggesting a thaw in their previously icy interactions. He described their connection as “a melting pot of emotions,” which seems to blend warmth with underlying tension.
Jesse, who is also involved in the evolving romantic entanglement, emphasized that he shares a “fun and flirty” relationship with Ciara, but insists there is “no beef” between him and West. As Amanda pointed out, “There’s a lot more to it than what was even touched on in the trailer,” hinting at deeper storylines that will unfold throughout the season.
Newcomers to the house also promise to shake things up. Mia Calabrese, a broker and Ciara’s close friend, joins the cast alongside Ben Waddell, a former lead of The Bachelor: Australia, and KJ Dillard, a former professional skateboarder. Each of these new faces brings their unique energy and storylines, with Carl teasing that KJ “definitely brings a younger energy” to the group.
As relationships evolve, Lindsay has also confirmed her presence in the house, having filmed three weekends of the summer. She humorously dubbed herself “mother Hubbard” and acknowledged her role in both guiding and stirring the pot. Importantly, she noted that her dynamic with Carl has shifted since their engagement ended, indicating a growing friendship. “I was pleasantly pleased,” Carl recalled about their interactions, suggesting that the past summer has allowed them to navigate their relationship positively.
Despite the personal upheavals, the season promises to be filled with moments of both tension and joy. As Amanda remarked, “There was sexual tension, flirtiness, banter, fighting. There’s a lot that happens this summer.” The cast is clearly ready to engage viewers with a mix of heartfelt moments and reality television drama.
As Summer House prepares to launch its tenth season, audiences can expect a blend of old tensions and new dynamics that reflect the complexities of friendship and love in a vibrant summer setting. The season is set to premiere soon, and fans are eager to see how the cast navigates the latest twists and turns in their lives.
