S9.E1: Uncharted Territory

[ZettaK]

As the housemates return to the Hamptons for another summer, Lindsay arrives with a big secret that will change the house forever; Jesse feels a spark with new housemate Lexi.

First aired on 2/12/2025.

[bosawks]

As a proud resident of the Northeast words cannot describe the joy of no traffic on your route to the shore!

[Thumper]

I’ve heard it for a while, but when did “cheers-ing” become a verb?  🙄. People don’t “toast” anymore?

[Thumper]

Lindsay looks different — fuller faced.  Hmmm … what could it be? 😉

[bosawks]

That one new girl is an insult to the word vapid.

[bosawks]

Finally, someone pouring out the empties!

Less vapid new girl for the win!

[snarts]

Lindsay's already annoying me. That speech. Just trying way too hard. That poor man should've googled her first.

[dancingdreamer]

Lindsay  is going  to nag Carl all summer,  isn't  she. 

New girl , Lexi doesn't  seem like a model, she also seems too young for this crowd. Jessie,  settle  down it's only been a minute,

Ciara was on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live yesterday, and she said that the younger women were 26, and 27, and she was 28 last year. West was also 28, and Jessi and Paige 31. Carl, Kyle (who said he was going to be 42 soon), and Lindsay were the oldest.

Yes, they said their ages at the beginning ( new girls) they just act younger than the rest.

[snarts]

Look, I'm a giggler & I formerly stanned Paige & Craig hard so it's been a rough watch between Southern Charm and now Summer House. 

That said, the previews. I hate that Bravo tacks on events that happen months after filming. She broke up with Craig in December. This is Summer House. It was filmed in the Summer.

For background: around the same time as their breakup, Joe D’Amelio's ex-fiance suggested he cheated and insinuated there were inappropriate DMs while they were together. Paige outed herself as the suspect by immediately parading around with Joe at very public events, holding his hand, taking pics in the same hotel room, vacationing together, etc.

So why is she now blaming/dragging Craig? When they broke up, she claimed he was the best boyfriend she ever had and that nobody did anything wrong. Because he didn't publicly come to her defense, she's going to completely change up the narrative and claim he's the one who cheated? Paige is being so unnecessarily messy here, it's making her look petty & vindictive.

I guess she's reveling in the publicity of it all, likely learned that from Lindsay :(

Who else suspects Amanda had never met the new girls before seeing them at the house? I hate how they continually pretend that any new additions happened organically, when we all know how casting works.

[Jeanius]

Partway through and I’m watching Lindsay grasp the attention and going on and on about her journey leading up to her poster board ultrasound project (is Gabby her assistant? Also grasping for relevance.) For the record I can’t stand Lindsay and I feel bad for her child. Already used and discarded the well off father. She is gross. Carl is a spineless little boy. And extremely lucky to be rid of her.

I appreciate Paige but it’s good to be reminded that she has a few mean bones in her body and thinks pretty highly of herself. She really does puts herself together and often does look fabulous. Plus she is witty.

Lexi “Gives Me” Wood … when Jesse calls you ditzy … ittiest bittiest tittles I’ve “seen” lately wow. Lip liner bugs. Cute as a puppy? Okay Amanda. Speaking of, Amanda would be so much happier without little man-boy Kyle. Can’t imagine Loverboy has legs to keep them in the style they are accustomed. That property they looked at last season was awesome. But investment property for Amanda to hang out at for weeks at a time? 
 

Had to pause after Lindsay’s announcement to get a few thoughts off my chest. 
 

Finally I appreciate the shots of them without makeup in the sunlight. I feel better about myself. 
 

Kudos to the editing of Lindsay’s speech and the shot of the catering staff waiting… and waiting as the gas bag blathered on.

[Vivigirl10]

Are we obligated to watch everyone gush over Lindsay now every time her belly enters the room?  These people hate her.  It's going to get old fast.  I loved when Jesse spoke for the entire viewing audience at his annoyance with a pregnant woman being in a summer house.

I'm really sorry that Gabby has been reduced to Lindsay's minion (apparently taking the place of Danielle).  

I find nothing more difficult to be in the presence of than a dumb/"ditzy" basic pretty girl who has guys drooling just to be around her.  Also, I would hope a "model" would know enough about make-up to stay far away from that ridiculous dark lip liner she's sporting.  

Bailey seems like a complete non-entity.  A "friend of".  We'll see if that changes.

I find West just physically repellant.  But Ciara needs to really let this shit go. 

[Jeanius]

Well my sympathy for the sperm donor dropped fifty points when I learned that they dated three years ago and HE reached out to her and WILLINGLY had sex with her without protection. After dating a month? Loved all the adding and subtracting going on in the other castmates’ heads. Very sketchy timeline. We don’t know Mr. Kufe’s side of things and then of course the “truth”. As folks have mentioned, when Lindsay’s lips are moving, she’s lying.

[IntrovertRed]

It's going to be weird to watch this show next year without Lindsay. She bugs me, but ALL the roomates do, however I don't have a hate for her like many people do. I guess I don't understand why people are so down on her having a baby?  What's the big deal if her and the guy talked about it, arranged it, etc., whether or not they meant to stay together, who cares? Look at Kate from Below Deck, she has a child and no one knows who the father is, yet, I don't see the hate for Kate that I do for Lindsay getting pregnant. It's a little bonkers to me. Anyway, with her not being on the show at least maybe now the nastiness around this show will subside. 

Kyle is going to try to be a good husband by not staying out past 2 am? Aw, what a guy. 

Lexi is pretty but she looks entirely too young to be having so much work done to her face. Already annoyed by Jesse's obsession over her. Dial it back a little.

I want hibachi now dammit.

[heatherchandler]

Lindsay is insufferable.  And Gabby is irrelevant.

Paige said in the previews (months after filming ended, and the couple was broken up) that he was texting with two women during their relationship, and the women on WWHL yesterday said she was covering up for him to protect him. They now accuse each other of cheating. Could one of the women he was texting with be Molly from Southern Charm? She said they were texting for years.

Amanda doesn't really know the new women. This is typical of Bravo when the network wants to introduce new cast members who suddenly appear out of nowhere (it's really casting) in order to show a connection to old cast members.

West is physically repellant, and figuratively too because of his behavior.

Lindsay was on WWHL yesterday and she said that she is still with her boyfriend (the father of her child), and he was in the green room of the studio. 

 

[ZettaK]

Kyle hasn't changed. Returning home at 2am after partying is not different from returning a little later.

Jessi is the asshole who asked Lexi if she is ditzy, but he claims he "loves" her already within hours of meeting her! And the idiot still likes him after his rude comment. He is not even attractive.

I can't stand West. 

Lindsay doesn't have anything in common with the rest of the group anymore. Her pregnancy timeline appears to be iffy.

Ciara, Amanda, and Gabby are extremely thin.

Someone needs to send him home ... or to another production group in case he's DESTINED for reality stardom.

Not sure he's spineless.  Alcohol took every part of him and Lindsay was the worst human to be in his life. She broke him and it will take a lot to put him back together.  WHO could live with her.  As you said above, I too feel bad (so bad) for her baby.

DITTO.  I enjoy her more than any of the women on this show or Southern Charm.

 I wonder how she threatened him to force him to sit there.

I'm 84 and my younger son is 56.  We GROAN every time we hear "Let's cheers," or "Cheersing."  We both agree we first heard it in 2007 on "The Hillls," and it may have been Spencer Pratt.  Thanks for bringing it up. (Had to look up the date)   Younger folk probably have no idea what "Toast" means if it doesn't pop up from an appliance--unless they watch old black and white movies.

[bosawks]

Please Carl, don't be Eeyore, sad sack Carl for the entire season.

And I don't know if there is enough Clorox in the world to clean that room after a summer of West and Jesse.

Because I don't believe they had that conversation, nor has she claimed there was one. 

The timeline shows the pregnancy occurred less than <3 months in, they weren't even officially dating. I can't see it being deep enough at that point to discuss having a child together.

On the other hand, Lindsay has repeated talked about her timeline, her urgent desire to get married/start a family & her disappointment that Carl's work ethic wouldn't allow her to be a SAHM. So to see her immediately get pregnant with a VP of a pharmaceutical company?  Hmmm. 

Kate Chastain chose to be a single mom. She's never talked about or disclosed the baby daddy's identity. She's not trying to push some story that it happened organically & that they're so in love. Apples & tomatoes IMHO.

I'm not at all convinced that she won't be back.  I don't think the main issue with Lindsay's pregnancy is at all how it came to be.  The hate for her stems from the fact that she's an openly documented terrible person and it's sad to think about her mothering an innocent child.  The way that she treated her boyfriends and "friends": tantrums, perceived and created slights, anger, making fights up just for the sake of fighting, drama, manipulation......her own child is in no way going to be spared from these same behaviors.  Lindsay is a person who must constantly have drama and conflict in her life or I imagine she thinks it's "boring".  So she is constantly creating her own havoc.  Grown men have not been able to see these behaviors coming, can you imagine how a child is going to react?  Never knowing what is going to "activate" Mommy?  I for one don't want to watch it on my tv screen.

• I don't like her.
• I'm happy that she wanted a baby; I feel sorry for any child of hers.
• I doubt she talked about it with some new guy BEFORE creating a baby.
• "Accidents" still happen in the 21st Century.
• I hope she's not on the show regularly because I like Carl.
• She's a cruel and explosive human; no one needs that.

 

Sorry Vivigirl...couldn't delete your name...

I BEG Andy Cohen, who seems so infatuated with Lindsay it's creepy--to not put her on any BRAVO show.  She wanted a husband or any man to take care of her so she could have his baby and stay home.  Please...if you feel sorry for her and think she needs an income, think again.  The Baby Daddy has plenty-o-money.  He will provide.  You don't need to subject US to Lindsay for the excuse that she needs a job.  She does NOT "make good TV."
