Summer season Home returns on Wednesday, February 12 on Bravo. The trailer launched in December promised yelling, summer time romances, and a heated alternate between exes Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard. What extra might you ask for?
Whereas I’m excited concerning the new season, I’m not sure about the present’s future, particularly since Carl and Lindsay spit final summer time. We all know actuality TV stars are used to residing in bizarre circumstances however sharing a house together with your pregnant ex-fiance could also be an excessive amount of even for a Bravoleb. In November, information broke that the Bravo sequence Vanderpump Guidelines will return for Season 12 with a model new forged. The announcement made me take into consideration the Summer season Home crew and ponder what a reboot would appear to be. There are a few the reason why I feel a reboot could also be a great transfer for the community. Let’s talk about them collectively.
Too many exes on Summer season Home
Like Vanderpump Guidelines, The Summer season Home forged is haunted by their exes. When the sequence first started, breakups between the forged had been no biggie. A lot of the failed romances had been summer time flings, however because the present progressed (and the forged bought older), the flings changed into full-on relationships, making the splits far messier than earlier than.
Final 12 months, Carl and Lindsay ended their engagement three months earlier than their marriage ceremony. The break up put the forged in a tough place and made followers query the present’s future. Not like VPR exes Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, Lindsay and Carl agreed to movie collectively the next season. The Season 9 trailer teased that the previous couple will get into a number of heated arguments this season, together with one debate about whether or not Carl was untrue within the relationship. Massive yikes.
After watching the trailer, I can’t assist however fear concerning the long-term trajectory of the present. Spending the summers together with your former fiance can’t be good for an individual’s psychological well being. It doesn’t appear sustainable. To not point out, Lindsay is pregnant with one other man’s child. I do know actuality TV is constructed on dysfunction and mess however this looks like one other stage of madness.
The Summer season Home forged is rising up
Initially, Summer season Home was marketed as a sequence about twenty-something and thirty-something singles partying within the Hamptons and hooking up with one another. The forged was at all times a bit extra skilled than the Vanderpump Guidelines gang however they had been nonetheless younger, messy, and careless. Eight seasons later, that’s now not the case. The forged has grown up quite a bit because the sequence first aired in 2017. Paige DeSorbo created a podcast empire, Kyle Cooke is a CEO DJ, and Lindsay is beginning a household. The times of passing out within the pool after a booze-filled rager could also be behind them. In any case, Kyle is a 42-year-old man! A DJ-ing 42-year-old man.
The forged’s achievements made their mother and father proud however actuality TV followers had been much less enthused. We miss the mess. We will’t assist it. A reboot might revive the present and permit the OG forged to enter a brand new part of life.
Not sufficient genuine relationships on Summer season Home
Season 1 of Summer season Home adopted a tight-knit pal group spending the summer time collectively within the Hamptons. The drama felt genuine as a result of it was an actual pal group, however because the years went on, the true friendships dwindled, and the sequence started to really feel over-produced. Whereas there are actually some actual friendships on the present (Paige, Ciara Miller, and Amanda Batula are lovely collectively), the forged chemistry general just isn’t what it as soon as was. It might be time to spend money on a brand new pal group.
I really like the forged of Summer season Home and would like to see them discover new avenues on Bravo and actuality tv after Season 9. For instance, if Paige isn’t on Season 4 of The Traitors, I’m protesting. However regardless of my affinity for the forged, I’m not sure if Summer season Home is sustainable after Lindsay and Carl’s break up. There may be an excessive amount of stress. It might be time for the community to think about different choices.
Season 9 of Summer season Home premieres on Wednesday, February 12 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
