S07.15: Welcome to the Jungle

[Dirtybubble]

Quote

As summer comes to an end, the housemates throw a jungle themed Labor Day party; Ciara takes her costume game to the next level while Mya confronts Oliver; Danielle and Lindsay have a conversation that changes their friendship forever.

I was kinda bored with this season so I'm glad it's coming to a close.

[Drogo]

Danielle’s kind of a headcase. Some of that was a little scary. 

[Marley]

Danielle needs therapy. She’s a mental case lol. Why did she fall to the ground oh my god lol. She kept saying all she wanted to do was be happy for Lindsey well then just be happy you crazy lady. Don’t go to an engagement party and talk shit. Also Danielle those chicks that are comforting you do not like you they just hate Lindsey. I’m not even a Lindsey fan but I don’t get why no one is pointing out how insane Danielle is being.

Lol Kyle trying to sit down in that tiger suit.

If Mya wants to be on a reality show then she has to actually show her life not try to avoid cameras and talking about shit when someone’s is mic’d up. Because she is boring.

Mya was being weird with Kory.

The whole throwing ppl in the pool thing annoys me.

So Oliver basically just came for the party and to be on TV I guess.

Reunion looks like a bunch of bullshit.

[bosawks]

Mya probably pissing off production with the whole Oliver thing seems short sighted.

I don’t think anyone really cares about that relationship, including her and Oliver, so might as well have that performative discussion on camera.

The collective hate on for Lindsay at this point is starting to look like sheer laziness.

Except for Danielle.  She needs to call her therapist.

[Caseysgirl]

Hope this is the last of this Summerhouse cast.  It’s either boring or cringey.  The multiple couples and lack of males on the show; watching Danielle ( who must be close to 40) having a middle school melt down - not once or twice but multiple times, each time throwing herself to the floor sobbing like her child had died, was embarrassing for her & uncomfortable for those of us watching.  Why are they giving Lindsay and Carl so much oxygen anyway?  Who cares - they will be together until the money runs out or Lindsay gets bored.  

[snarts]

While Danielle is exhaustingly overdramatic, Lindsey is cold as ice while disposing of a ten year friendship. They're both annoying assholes for different reasons.

Shoot me, but I adore Paige & Craig and like how they're proceeding with their relationship.  They don't do over the top declarations of love or share every aspect on social media.  Instead, they're quietly supporting each other personally and professionally and carving out private time together. I'll take that over drama any day.

Does Mya realize that she signed up to share her life? Ohm and covering the mic hasn't worked in 20+ years.

While I'm bored with the theme parties, Ciara's costume was on on point, as was Kyle's. Seriously, what is up with Bravo and theme parties?

 

[Shauna]

Lindsay's face looks so jacked up in the previews for the reunion. She looks like she had her eyes done.  Definitely had her lips done.  Looks bad.  Her extension look bad, too.  Not sure if she still has them for the reunion, but for the other episodes, just bad.

I feel like Paige doesn't even like Craig, let alone want to move in and eventually marry him. 

I didn't like Sam at first, but she grew on me.  In the beginning, she looked desperate.  She's likeable, for me, now.

She was warmer the first 8 times they talked about it.

I really like all the new blood.  Their enthusiasm is refreshing and none of them seem eager to take sides with the bullshit in the house.  

[whydoievencare]

I don't blame Lindsey at all for her demeanour when she and Danielle finally spoke in the kitchen.  She was cool, calm and collected and if that bugged Danielle, then so much the better. I would have been beyond pissed with how Danielle has behaved all summer - shitting on Lindsey's and Carl's relationship.  Shitting on their engagement.  Making it all about her.  Making Carl feel bad at his engagement party.  Yes, Danielle and Lindsey have been close but if Danielle had been somewhat reasonable, they could have remained friends, but Danielle totally lost her mind.  And to collapse on the floor?  And those stupid "girls in the house" collecting around Danielle - they could have been providing a reality check for her instead of egging her on.  For someone to feel so entitled that they question my relationship with my partner - as if they have equal status - would not end well.  Things do change with friends to some extent when you find your life partner.  The people in the house don't seem to feel  that way at all.  Danielle's behaviour is beyond creepy.  Also, notice how Danielle never has responded logically to anything that either Carl or Lindsey has said - it's so weird.  She's so weird.  

[heatherchandler]

Lindsay just sucks.  She doesn’t care at all that she and Danielle are no longer friends.

Carl was stressed and clearly uncomfortable at the engagement party.  So when she said they had to leave the house for Carl’s mental health.. I wonder if he was so stressed he wanted to drink?  She pushed him to go back to the house. She’s not good for his sobriety. Yes it’s good to not run from your problems, but when you are in recovery, and you know people, places or things will trigger the desire to drink, you are supposed to avoid them.

She pretends she’s fine with him needing accommodations for staying sober but in reality she isn’t if it impedes on her being on tv.

That’s because they’re waiting to see which side and bullshit benefits them most, and gets them another season and more fans. 😁 They gotta wait for all the eps to air before discussing with their teams lol!

I feel like Paige doesn't really like anyone, except Paige. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Craig is going to be hurt by her, though being with her seems to have matured him.

All the newbies grew on me, even Gabby and Chris!  Never saw the attraction of Kory, but him being with Sam and seemingly so smitten has made him less douchey.  Nice to not have to see another pretty woman pine over an Austen-type character.  And now I'm mad at myself for even mentioning his name.

More like production make them return. Look, Lindsay isn't my favorite person, but I'm not jumping to the conclusion that Carl was wanting to drink and Lindsay was the devil for making them return.

Thought the exact same thing lol. 

Ciara is so pretty and seems so fun this season.  Losing that 185 pound deadweight has done wonders for her psyche.  Mya, however, acts like she's too good to share her personal life.

I have no words for Danielle. I was so prepared to hate Lindsay after seeing the previews, but man, it's the exact opposite. Damn you Danielle. It's super cringe, and she does not belong on reality tv.  Everyone sitting in the other room listening was pretty distasteful, but I guess that's Bravo.  Did anyone see the look Amanda gave Paige when they went to "comfort" Danielle?  And Lindsay's ever-changing hair movements BUGGED me. 

I also couldn't help but laugh seeing Avatar join in the background of the group hug, and then Kyle wearing?  riding? the tiger body while talking with Lindsay and Carl after the fight.

Craig still does live for this shit which was apparent when he was smiling saying Lindsay is a good fighter when she's sober lol.  

Was this the only party the house was able to throw?  

Dang, Kyle really has a nasally voice.

I agree that Danielle shouldn't have been dissing the couple for not including her in the secret. She was clearly searching for sympathetic allies, but come on read the room. I do give her a pass for her words and break down after confronting Lindsay.

As the saying goes, "Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned". Danielle truly believed her and Lindsay were a sisterhood off camera, whereas Danielle was just a great wing woman for single Lindsay. It does hurt to learn you mean nothing to your "ride or die" friend, so she gets a pass from me for the way she was forced to accept the hard truth.

I've always like Myas calm and rational approach to issues, but I really felt bad for her re:Oliver's  cheating. Her first season had her talking with Carl about how she felt like a fish out of water, and insecure, after she and the chef broke their engagement. She discussed her fear of falling for someone, only to have that happen again. She finally meets someone (we all have liked) and darn if he didn't cheat. I feel sorry for anyone trying to navigate a relationship while everyone watches and weighs in.

As far as Mya goes I do feel for her as well.  It's really shitty what happened to her and IRL I understand her not wanting to discuss this with Oliver while cameras are rolling HOWEVER this isn't RL, it's reality tv and you have to get your hands dirty at some point and let the cameras into your world.  I really don't care about her cookie business (though I have heard they are DELICOUS) I want to see soap opera level drama!  I wanna see batshit gosh darn it! 😁

I will always be #teamdanielle no matter what mistakes she's made.  She just wants her BFF back.  Linds was cold and uncaring about her 6 year friendship ending.  WORK IT OUT ladies!  I wish people cared and worked on friendships as they do romantic relationships.

The last 2 episodes made up for a really boring season.

I'm just over here waiting for Paige to drop the bomb at the reunion and flat out say that Lindsay and Carl don't have jobs - HA!!!

I did feel bad for Danielle after her talk with Lindsey.  But, with that being said, the handwriting has been on the wall all summer that Lindsey is ok with down grading Danielle to "one of the girls in the house" now that she has Karl.  I think Danielle dropping to the floor was a bit over the top.  And Danielle is very aware the other girls do not like Lindsey and should know all their "support" of Danielle is only because they hate Lindsey. 

And being Lindsey BFF for years, Danielle must know Lindsey is not a nice person to anyone who crosses (or she thinks crossed her) and Danielle is no different to Lindsey.  And you cannot shit all over your BFF's relationship with her man and expect to be involved in the picking of ring or engagement.  For being Lindsey's BFF Danielle sure did not have a clue on how to be BFF.

[b2H]

I personally wouldn’t trust Lindsey with a sandwich.  She is a viper and a user.  I feel badly for Danielle having to deal with that.  As happens with all things, Linds will eventually get her comeuppance, but we will never know about it.

That said, yes, if these people are 40 years old or approaching 40, they have no justification for behaving as they do, either partying together or interacting with each other.

[FozzyBear]

Were Mya and Oliver exclusive? I’m really not sure. That last conversation almost seemed like they weren’t even together but he agreed to come to the party or something. I don’t know, it almost felt like they broke up before filming but didn’t want to have it be a storyline. 
 

Danielle those girls do not give even a single fuck about you. They just hate Lindsey. Amanda’s giddy excitement about overhearing Danielle and Lindsey end their friendship was gross. You were right the first time, Danielle. Don’t trust Amanda.

Don’t they have basically the same job as most of the cast? Being a reality star?

The rest of the cast have jobs: Kyle is a VP/partner in Loverboy, Amanda is the Creative Director for Loverboy, Paige has the GigglySquad podcast/stage show and is a fashion writer, Ciara is an RN/model, Mya runs a cookie company, Kory owns a gym, Gabby is a fashion editor, Danielle is an app developer, Sam runs a creative marketing firm, Chris is a photographer/filmmaker. 

Carl quit his job as Sales Executive for Loverboy back in late 2022. Lindsey used to be a PR specialist but seeming stopped working back when she was dating Stravvy. Like a lot of reality stars, I'm sure they also earn some money from endorsing products on social media but they've seemingly walked away from their careers while the others have not.

In still shots she's starting to look like Heather Thomson from RHoNY.

[Crazydoxielady]

Man I kept waiting for Danielle to stop with the ever-loving dramatics and realize that pooping all over the relationship all summer did not equate to getting special intel privileges regarding the engagement. The fall to the floor! The hysterics! Lady! Get. A. Grip! Lindsey could care less, and you did attempt to ruin their engagement party with your antics. GET A LIFE. (I hope she is not back next season). The best part was in the previews for this season they repeatedly had Danielle on camera giving one "word" for the season, which was "shocking." She did not mention that it was her own behavior that was repeatedly shocking and unhinged.

I have to say it. Chris.... throwing everyone in the pool? Just no..... ankles can be broken during those falls; people may have a water phobia.... what have you. I did not like that and would have had to kick him in the nuts after. He did not grow on me. I find him to be too much of a dude's dude that has zero idea how to act around women. Very awkward, very toothy, very goofy.... It's a no for me.

I took a real dislike to Mya when she felt the need to take Sam aside early on and tell her she talked to much. She really hurt her, the poor girl was sobbing. And as opposed to what Mya? Not talking at all and keeping your life off camera in whispers? It was a showmance. Suck it up buttercup.

Kyle may love that mullet more than Amanda. And what is this about him cheating in the previews.  It's gonna be interesting! In a month of crazy Bravo reunions (VPR, RHONJ) this will still likely be boring, but I am here for it!

 I agree Danielle is a nutcase. I don't know if she's secretly pining for Karl, or if she's just jealous of Lindsey and Carl. I like Lindsey OK,  she's no worse than the rest of them. The one I don't like is Craig's girlfriend. She seems extremely self centered.  I don't understand why Danielle is so sad and angry, when she went befind Carl & Lindsey's backs and talked smack to all of the others. What does she expect to happen?

This whole group acts like there between 21 and 25. They are all almost 40 and some of them are 40.  They need to grow up.

[antfitz]

Why are they all enabling Danielle?

 I don't agree at all! What makes Danielle think that she should know about the engagement before Lindsey knows?? She's a nut job. And she's playing on all of their sympathies by crying.  When you get engaged and you're planning a wedding, you kind of really don't have time for other things. You're crazy busy.  I know all my friends married A few years before me,  And I did not expect to see them or talk to them like I had before. 

 If I was one of those house guests  and Danielle came crying to me, I would tell her to get over.... it it's not her story!

[MargaritaGal]

Who does Danielle think she is? Just because her opinion of Lindsey's and Carl's relationship is that it's moving faster than Danielle would like, doesn't mean they need to heed her advice and slow down. But Danielle just couldn't comprehend that. Why? Who cares what your opinion is. What a hypocrite too! Didn't Danielle move in with her boyfriend after only knowing him a few months?

Watching Danielle scream into pillows when talking to Carl about getting engaged, abruptly leaving conversations with Lindsey because Lindsey wouldn't take Danielle's advice, shit taking their relationship to whoever would listen, DELUSIONAL!

I like the goofy, dorky side of Cierra that really commits to a costume. I was cracking up at her Avatar moves. I think she’s a lot better away from Paige. I’m not trying to blame Paige because i think it’s as much Cierra, but I think the two of them have a friendship that brings out the worst in each other. Separated Cierra is kind of a goofball and Paige can be funny and quick. Together they are bitchy mean girls who don’t do anything but lay around being judgmental.
