Wait, I didn't get lips.
How are my lips? - They look good.
Okay, so, the next day--
Oh, wait, can you see my pit stains, or no?
No, the shirt totally hides out.
Oh, that's--
Comin'! Come on in.
- Hey. - Hey.
Um, I think you should check your phone.
Jesus .
Oh, my God.
You done your interview, or just starting?
No, I'm-I'm not. Just starting.
Oh, , it's-- all right.
I haven't read-- I haven't read it yet. - Okay.
Do you wanna read it to me?
Okay.
For the love of God.
"We've seen the growing online speculation,
so while it is still very new,
we wanted to provide some clarity."
- Oh, my God. - "We've shown up for each other
as friends over the years
through all of the highs and lows,
and what's developed recently
was the last thing either of us expected.
Our connection grew out of a genuine
long-standing friendship,
which made it especially important for us
to approach this with care."
None of this makes sense. It's all not what happened.
Hey.
- Oh, you're on speaker. - Hi.
Hold on. Let me-- Let me add Mia in.
Hold on.
- Hi. - Oh, wait, where did Jesse go?
Oh, Jesse's here. Okay.
I'm here with Kyle.
Mia, thank you for--
Thank you for texting. I-I meant to respond.
I did--
I did talk to Amanda last night,
and West texted me an hour ago,
which was clearly a check the box text.
When I say--
I consider myself pretty close to West.
I was literally at his parents' house
and his dad's ranch.
Yeah.
Like, we-we went to Toronto together. Like--
Carl's calling.
Yeah, Carl. Well, here, we'll get Carl.
Oh, patch him in.
Here, you can probably hear.
Here, we'll put the phones together.
- Hey. - Hey, Kyle.
I mean, nothing can kinda prepare you for this.
You were pickin' up on just, like,
inappropriateness, like, how touchy
and handsy he's been.
No, as someone's--
I think she is hurtin'.
Now, it's, like, when did this start?
Amanda tried to play it off last night
like it's only been happening for a month.
I will say, there were blinds
going back to June 2025.
I don't know what Amanda and West can say
to, like, recover.
Thank you.
Is everyone in here today?
No, I think West and Amanda are--
I saw their names on that dressing room, right there.
Oh.
That's an adjustment for me.
I've been on this for ten years, from the beginning.
What's been going on the last month and half
and two months
is unlike anything we've ever experienced.
The last two weeks even,
the baseball game and that sh--,
is just so----ing weird.
The same day, Ciara's cover came out.
Embarrassing. He's so----ed up.
I was supposed to go to that game with West.
You were?
Yeah, it was a Kansas City game.
Why didn't you end up going to the game?
We're not friends anymore.
It hurts. I considered him a brother.
Oh!
Never been in this room before.
How are you?
Yeah, you're normally with the boys. Hi.
- Are we across from them? - Yeah.
Sweet.
All right. What's up? - Nothing.
I just don't know if I can't breathe
'cause I'm, like, anxious
or 'cause my corset is so tight.
Probably both.
Thank you, sir.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm good.
I actually-- I-I feel... Zen.
I'm happy that Ciara's gonna get a moment
to, like, really speak her peace,
and I'm-I'm just-- - Oh, I think we're gonna
have a lot of moments.
How are you?
- I've had better days. - Yeah.
How are you feeling?
Um...
Who do you feel more betrayed by?
- Amanda. - Yeah.
Like, I mean, I'm shocked by West,
but I'm also really hurt by Amanda.
Is there a question that you really--
- I mean-- - Like, is there--
Is there one thing that's the most
kind of glaring to you?
Um, well, I really-- it's really just, like, why.
Right, right.
Why?
How do you think this is gonna go?
There's nothing new that can be told today.
Like, the truth is already out there.
- So... - Yeah, it's just gonna be,
like, shutting down the rumors.
How are you feeling about seeing Ciara tonight?
I mean, there's a lot of guilt.
Like, that's my friend, and I-- it kills me
that, like, I'm the one that caused her any pain.
By the way, I sent you a text.
- Hmm? - I saw you starting to type,
and then you didn't.
'Cause I finished the last episode,
and I, like, was, like--
- It was a lot. - It was-- it was a lot.
I will say, those last two episodes,
uh, that was, like, the toughest reunion prep
I've ever gone through. - Yeah.
I don't think that people understood.
I was like, yo, I am bottoming out.
Like-like-- - Yeah, we could see.
Yeah. Can I say sorry
'cause I-I don't even think I realized
how much you were bottoming out?
Oh... - Give me a hug.
I was-- I, again, I just felt misunderstood
the whole summer. Don't cry.
But, no, I know, and I'm sorry
'cause I feel like
I really misunderstood you this summer.
Don't cry. It's okay. We got all day.
I love you. We're gonna do great.
Mm-hmm. We're not gonna get mad.
We're not gonna storm off.
No storming. I'm not gonna touch alcohol.
I'm not gonna-- I'm not gonna cry.
Well, pfft.
Well...
Well, you two seem very calm.
Yeah, there's no other way to be.
We're trying to be. Yeah.
Okay, I'll see you guys in a minute. Okay.
- All right. Bye, Andy. - Okay.
- Not bad. - That's nothin'.
- This one? - How's it going, Bailey?
Good.
- Hey, Andy. - Carl, my Carl.
I'm gonna give you a hug. You look so----in' hot.
Oh, my God, thank you!
- You look great. - Thank you.
Fly is up. That's a good--
That's a good thing.
I've gotta sit over here, it looks like next to West.
Aren't you glad to be sitting there and not here?
Yes.
Let me get the vibes here.
Our backyard.
It's always, like, incredibly detailed.
Hey, Ben.
- Andy, how are you, mate? - Hey, mate.
- How are you doing, mate? - What's up, mate?
- Looking fresh. - Yeah, yeah.
- What a nice suit. - Hello.
- How ya doin'? - Good. How are you?
- You look great. - Thank you.
♪ What a day What a day ♪
- Wow! - Good Lord.
Why are you in a revenge dress?
Yeah.
Well, I had to make up for Kyle.
Oh.
Yeah, I can't wear the revenge dress
that people photoshopped me in.
So...
Kyle, you look-- you looked good in it. I'm not gonna lie.
The best part is, I had the mullet.
That was really funny.
Oh, my goodness, look at this girl.
Yes!
- Thank you, guys. - Get over here.
Are you-- are you next to me? - I love it.
The calm before the storm.
Yeah, literally.
- Watch your step. - Yeah, thank you.
- Hi. - Hi, Andy.
- You look beautiful. - Thank you so much.
- Have a seat. - Hello, hello.
Okay.
Well...
I like the butter yellow.
Thank you so much.
You guys look beautiful. - So do you.
- You look pretty. - Thank you.
- Hi, Westling. - Hello, Andrew.
How are you? - I'm good.
How are you?
All rise.
Wow!
Okay.
- Hi. - Hi.
Oh, my God, Jessica Rabbit.
- I said Jessica Rabbit, too. - Holy sh--.
I feel like Jabba the Hut, and you're Princess Leia.
- Looking beautiful. - Thanks.
I like the suit. I like this casual.
We have two minutes, everyone.
I love you too.
Hi, Ben.
How you doing?
I just got a text that someone hacked my phone,
and there's nudes of me,
uh, being sent around Missouri.
So, it's a good text to get right before this.
Wow, when it rains, it pours.
We already heard about it this morning.
Wait, really?
Huh.
It's so weird. I've never gotten any.
I've got the nude.
Is it one?
Three.
Am I hard?
No? Soft?
- Flaccid. - Very soft,
flaccid, not soft but...
It's me.
It curves left. It's me.
Ten seconds!
Andy-- all eyes on Andy in five, four, three...
Hey, everybody,
welcome to the "Summer House" Season 10 Reunion.
I'm your host, Andy Cohen.
Now, this summer, we saw new friendships form
and long-term relationships fall apart in real time.
And while some endings were crystal clear,
one jaw-dropping new beginning
has left the housemates and the entire Bravosphere
with a lot of questions.
First, I wanna say hi to the housemates,
and I wanna start with you. Hi, Ciara.
Hi, Andy.
As a shock to no one on Earth,
you look incredible. - Thanks.
You've gotten a wave of love and support
from the Bravoverse. What has that been like?
Insane.
A lot more than I think I would have ever expected.
- Hey, Kyle. - Hey, Andy.
I gotta admit, a few months ago,
I really thought that you were gonna have
the most to answer to tonight.
I thought you were gonna maybe be the villain
of the season.
I have to think maybe you did, too.
I was ready. I was ready.
How does it feel not to be the biggest problem
in the room?
Weird-- it's very, uh, bittersweet to be
kind of in the hotseat then off the hotseat
and just in this weird... whatever you call this.
I've never even been on this side of the room.
Well, that brings me to Amanda.
Hey, Amanda. - Hi, Andy.
How are you feeling tonight?
I mean, I'm-I'm prepared to, you know,
to own up to what I've done,
take accountability, apologize,
uh, especially to Ciara and Kyle,
and just, hopefully, be able to explain
to everyone's face, you know,
what went on and where I'm coming from.
I'm glad she could say our name, right?
What?
I'm glad you could say our name this time.
How are you feeling tonight?
I'm prepared to take accountability,
apologize, especially to Ciara and Kyle.
I'm glad she could say our name, right?
What?
I'm glad you could say our name this time.
Hey, West.
Hello, Andy.
Um, I gotta ask.
I mean, two years ago, your first reunion,
um, you kinda sh-- the bed a little bit.
- For sure, for sure. - Kinda.
How is-how is tonight gonna be different?
Um...
I think there's a lot to be explained
and things to share that will, hopefully,
clear up a lot of the, like, wildfire
of what this became.
- Hi, Carl. - Hey, Andy.
Can you confirm or deny that you are a mess?
- I-I'm a mess. - You're a mess.
- I'm a mess. - Why are you a mess?
It's just been hard to kind of reconcile
what we're watching and what...
kind of feels like was going on.
Um, I feel like our group-- we should hold ourselves
to a higher standard here,
and we owe that to each other,
and we owe that to our audience
to, like, be----ing real, tell the truth,
take accountability.
I just, yeah, I'm nervous and anxious.
- Hey, Jesse. - Hey, Andy.
- How ya doin'? - Good.
I was very sad on the way over here.
- Why? - I don't know.
It just kinda hit me.
I feel like, uh, the friend group is-is fractured,
and it's just sad,
and I-I hope we're not just, like, mourning
the loss of what we had,
and I'm hoping that we can find some common ground
and move forward the best way we can.
Let's welcome the newbies.
Hi, Bailey. - Hi, Andy.
Don't worry, no Sweetgreen breakups today.
You're safe on this couch.
I'm not gonna get dumped here.
- No, you're definitely not. - Fabulous.
- Hi, Mia. - Hi.
- You look gorgeous. - Thank you.
You told me on "Watch What Happens Live"
that you met Rihanna. - Mm-hmm.
What advice would Rihanna give you today?
Well, I'll tell you what she told me when I met her.
- Okay. - Damn.
She said, "You're a bad bitch."
And she would've said that tonight, too.
- That's what's up. - All right, yes.
Hey, KJ. - Hey.
- How are you? - I'm sad.
This is family, and, obviously, family has issues,
but I just feel like
there was a lot of, um, fraudulent activity.
- Hi, Ben. - Andy.
- Great to see you. - Good to see you, too.
How is the missus?
Ten out of ten, thank you for asking.
All right, well, obviously, we need
to start by addressing the elephant in the room.
In February of this year, Amanda and West
were spotted holding hands at an event,
igniting what, at first, felt like
outlandish Internet conspiracies.
And when I asked West about those rumors
on "Watch What Happens Live,"
his tepid denials only fueled speculation.
What was your reaction to the rumors
of you and Amanda?
I just gotta show her the streets
a little bit, you know.
If it's not clear, that's a very important person to me,
and I, like, care about her a lot.
Finally, on March 31st, just three weeks ago,
West and Amanda released a joint statement
confirming their romance.
This led to an avalanche of questions,
like, where does this leave Ciara and Kyle?
So, Ciara, when and why did you first suspect
that something was going on
between West and Amanda?
First day would be January 17th
because I, like, went to call Amanda
to invite her out to drinks with me and Mia,
and her location was at West's house.
And so, I-I had called, and she didn't answer,
and then texted and didn't answer.
I answered in 30 minutes.
You did, after Mia put us in a group chat
to see if you would respond.
But, like, when I initially called you,
you didn't answer.
So, I was like, hmm, that's so weird.
Like, why would she be at West's?
- Okay, well, I was at-- - I'm speaking.
So, I was like, hmm, that's weird.
Why would she be at West's house?
Because West was there for me all summer
and was checking in. - And where was I?
- Also there for-- - Where was I?
- Also there for me. - Where was I?
But when he asked me to get a drink--
No, say it, again. Where was I?
You were also there for me,
and I'm not discrediting that. - Yeah, and how many times
have I asked you to hang out,
and you have either blown me off--
I hung out with West twice in--
Shut the up. How many times
have I asked you to hang out,
have I asked to come over to your house,
have I invited you to do stuff,
and you act like your----in' phone doesn't work?
I find it interesting that you're prioritizing
your friendship with West--
- Not-- was not. - Over prioritizing your friendship--
- But you were. - But then why weren't you responding to her?
Oh, my God, guess what. I had an awakening.
I was living on my own. I separated from my ex.
And I was trying to prioritize myself.
Yeah, and then you hang out with mine. You go out.
You guys are going to the bars, like, getting----ed up.
Also, you're breadcrumbing everyone on Instagram.
- Oof, that was tough. - I'm-I'm also hanging out with other people.
I was not just hanging out with West.
- Okay. - Didn't-- so--
I was hanging out with plenty of other friends
where he was not present at all.
- Who? Who? Who? - Okay, okay.
You don't think I have other friends?
- No, Katie DeLuca. - I mean, besides Katie DeLuca.
A lot of the friends you've been hanging out recently
literally-- - Are West's friends.
- Exactly, I-- - That you guys have seen on the Internet!
Amanda, you're-you're--
I don't post every----ing time I go out somewhere.
- But your best-- - You were.
Some of your best friends you aren't even,
like, seeing anymore. - You were, though.
She was-she was posting non-stop about going out.
I was going to dinners and drinks
and going out and doing things.
I was saying yes to everything. - I mean, she was hanging out
with another Katie, who is--
- Friends with West. - No, not friends with West.
off.
- Um-- - Shut the up, Amanda.
You don't wanna cross this----ing bridge with me.
You really don't.
I don't see your man sticking up for you now, huh?
- Jesse, you said on "Watch What Happens Live"... - I'm sorry.
...you found out when the rest of the world did.
Viewers want to equate you with
Tom Schwartz in this situation,
that you knew more than you let on.
What's your response to that?
Jesse didn't know anything.
Yeah, I-I spoke with Amanda.
I sat down with her for drinks,
and she told me that it just wasn't true.
West-- I don't know-- I would text him, asking,
and he would tell me that it wasn't true.
- Wow. - The-the lying part,
I-I will not sit here and act like I didn't do it.
I, 100% lied to people here,
and I take full accountability for that.
- Thank you. - Not cool to do, in general,
and not cool to do to your friends.
No matter the case, lying to people you care about
is not okay.
But I think you-- the problem is, now,
is that I feel like you lie about your life.
Like, you like about who you are.
I think you're the most fraudulent person
sitting on this couch.
We've been here three years now.
I don't think anybody really, truly knows
who you are. - Why do you say that?
- You live a different - ing life off camera
than you do on camera.
We don't know what you're doing.
And probably the reason why it was so confusing,
is because you had a girlfriend.
Meija?
I think you're the most fraudulent person
sitting on this couch.
You live a different - ing life off camera
than you do on camera.
And probably the reason why it was so confusing,
is because you had a girlfriend.
Meija?
Uh, not a girlfriend, but I was seeing someone.
- Probably a girlfriend. - Uh...
She says that you guys were exclusive.
- We weren't. - And, in fact, she spent the night with you
the night before your "Watch What Happens Live".
Your "Watch What Happens Live".
- On what, March 24th? - And she made you your tie.
Weird. - Correct.
Sorry, correction, March 24th, not March 21st.
She did spend the night with you the night before?
Mm-hmm, she brought me that tie.
- She brought you the tie. - Yep.
- The horsehair tie. - Yep.
Now, West, explain your tie.
Um, my friend, Meija, made this for me.
We gotta tighten it up.
Snarl Studios. It's horsehair.
Real horsehair. - This is a real horsehair tie.
And did you know that he was dating this woman?
- Yeah. - Yes.
You know now, or you knew then?
And you didn't care?
Uh, we had a whole conversation about it.
Amanda, why are you doing this?
- Doing what? - Like, why?
You went from being married, and I'm not saying
your relationship was perfect.
- No, certainly not. - But you went from being married
to being one of West's side bitches.
That's crazy.
- Okay. - This is unnecessary.
We're gonna talk about this.
Let's talk about the statement.
The statement came out incredibly rushed
because of how insane it all became.
There's a zillion reasons why this was confusing
and didn't make sense,
and there's so many layers to it.
Isn't that enough layers to go
what the are we doing here?
- Right, yeah. - Period.
- We talked about it. - You'd think that that would--
so, it was so conscious that you guys talked about it.
It wasn't just like a drunk hookup.
You guys talked about it.
- No, it all started with-- - You knew how----ed up
and how----ing weird it would be,
and you still did it, you chose to do it.
- Okay, but guess what. - You kept doing it,
and you were hiding it from-- - Sometimes you can't help
who you like and who you are attracted to.
That was some-- - You actually can help it.
- So, you didn't-- - When you're married,
you actually can help it. - So, you--
I wasn't married anymore, Ciara.
Are you guys actually legally? Have you guys filed?
I've-I've attained counsel,
and my attorney has reached out to Kyle,
but we haven't gotten anywhere since then.
Legally-- by-by the State of New York,
you're still----ing married. - New Jersey.
So, I'm sorry, but when I'm separated from someone,
I have to stay celibate and single
for the rest of my life until the judge signs papers? - Nobody was saying stay--
nobody was-nobody was saying that you needed
to stay celibate or what the ever,
but there are a million other----ing guys
in New York City, but you chose the one that--
and you know how much that----ed me up.
You chose the one guy.
- I didn't chose-- I didn't-- - And you did it on purpose
'cause you're a----ing snake, Amanda.
You're a snake in the----ing grass,
is what you are. - That is-- okay.
You're a snake in the----ing grass,
and you should honestly just say, "Okay,"
because you know you are.
You move silent, but you're----ing deadly.
Carl, Renee from Jacksonville said,
"The public didn't go easy on you
after your breakup with Lindsay,
and you stayed quiet.
So, when Amanda and West put out a statement,
did you think it was the right move
or unnecessary?"
I mean, terrible move,
but if you're gonna do it, apologize to Ciara and Kyle.
Period. - I apologized privately.
- In a statement publicly. - 100% but--
But who's the statement for?
Like, why did you put a statement out?
Everyone was asking for it to be addressed.
It's like singing "Happy Birthday"
without using someone's name. Like, it's--
You put a statement out because you----ed up.
- I texted Ciara separately. - But you didn't address
the people that you----ed up.
I addressed them,
and I texted every single one of you
on this stage, apologizing.
Did you text her a personal apology?
Yeah, 100%.
I mean, did-- you knew that
it would need to be a conversation?
- Okay, well, let's go over-- - Yeah, I would have loved
to have been able to talk. - Let's go over my--
her first text since we wanna get into it.
Okay, so, the day that the rumors dropped,
don't hear from her until, like, that night.
Okay.
"Hi, Checking in.
The Internet is----ing on one, right now,
and I feel like everything I do is under a microscope.
I can't believe I'm even having to text you this, right now,
but West and I are very much so just friends.
I'm sad we're even having to discuss this."
- Yeah. - I said, "So, I"--
And so, hold on, to be clear,
you were hooking up, at that time.
- 100%, 100%. - We're talking,
and everything was PG.
Everything that was happening between us was PG,
and everything started with conversations and emotion.
- What's PG? - What-what's PG?
- Why continue to lie? - Like, literally.
Like, can't you just tell us when things--
That's what I'm saying 'cause, like, what are we doing here?
Like, when did you guys hook up for the first time?
- With a guy that I used-- - After the statement.
With a guy that I used to date-- anyway.
So, and then I said,
"So, I can expect for there to be no photos
or videos coming out?
'Cause I feel like it's such a widespread rumor
for there to be no veracity to it."
She goes, "No, nothing different than what I've posted myself.
People have just seen us with each other more and more
and are being psychos.
I hear what you're saying, but I feel like
I can't even exist right now
without people overanalyzing everything I do."
And so, I go, "Okay, so, for clarity,
since I don't really feel like you're making it clear,
you and West haven't hooked up, made out,
held hands under table, or had sex?"
I just get a, "Correct." - And I said, "Correct."
And I lied, 100% lied.
She would, all of a sudden,
for the first time in five years,
your location would go off.
Right, you turned your location off.
And then you'd forget. Then you would forget.
I don't always share my location
with the two of you.
Between Kyle, my management, other friends,
I didn't want people to know where I was all the time.
- 'Cause you were at West's. - 'Cause you were out with West.
Because you're doing something--
You're not supposed to be there with him.
- You're doing shady stuff. - You were doing shady sh--.
You were at-- you were sleeping at West's apartment.
So, you-- so-so, you then text Ciara.
- Of course, you'd turn it off. - Sure, that--
Sure, that's-- Okay. - I would definitely turn it off
if I was, like, gonna get caught
sleeping with my best friend's ex.
- Okay. - I was not sleeping with West!
- Whatever. - Were you not sleeping over?
All right, we're gonna get to it a little bit later.
So, who made the first move?
Um, I-- When we were out,
I, like, kinda looked at Amanda,
and I was like, "Am I----ing crazy,
or is there a little something going on here?"
- That's so funny. - When was your first kiss?
- End of February. - End of February, after brunch.
When did it first happen that you slept together?
Oh, so, the brunch that you guys all went out to,
that was your first kiss?
That night, yeah.
When did you first sleep together?
- Is that-- - After the statement--
I mean, not that night, but--
Also, to clear up, this isn't, like,
a s-sex scandal.
It was, like, hanging out, kisses.
Yeah, we know you didn't until recently,
a couple weeks ago, first time, good job.
Yeah, I'm-I'm just clearing that up
for the what was going on. - 'Cause you were, like--
I'd rather not visualize the sex part.
Yeah.
Can we just get back to the question?
- Yeah. - Um, okay,
so, I-I wanna hear the rest.
Okay, so, then Saturday, March 7th, she says,
"Oh, my gosh," she says, "Do you want to talk at all?
I'm super in my head about where we left off
this conversation,
and I hate the thought of things being weird between us
because of West. Like, that's so silly to me.
I have nothing going on today or tomorrow...
Maybe I should have just said to you...
from the get-go-- - ...if you wanna do something."
"I don't know what's going on.
I had feelings for someone that I'm not supposed to have feelings for.
I don't know what to do about it."
And then you remove yourself.
That's what a normal friend would do.
- And-and-and what would-- - What?
- You remove yourself. - And how would you have responded
if she said that? - Well, if you--
So, I'm not allowed to pursue something
that I feel strongly about. - No.
Well, at that point, y-you clearly don't feel strongly
if you're trying to understand it. - The answer is no.
- No. Yeah, you know-- - Are we morally bankrupt? No.
- Like, literally no. - Got it.
So, no one in-- And no one in this world
has ever been in a situation like this before.
- No, ever! - In high school, maybe!
We're in our 30's, not in high school.
This is not the craziest thing
that's ever happened in the whole entire world.
You guys are acting like I had an affair.
- You can downplay it. - I'm not downplaying.
Okay, well, let me ask you this.
- No, you had a whole month. - Hold on! Hold on!
That's exactly what you came here to do today
You're literally downplaying it.
I'm not downplaying your feelings.
No, well, what do you think that this--
Not a----ing thing.
Everything he says is gonna--
You're saying that you felt so convicted,
that you just had so much feelings
that you were so confused about it,
so you put out a statement.
You're willing to disrupt the whole equilibrium
in this house for, like, um, figuring out
how you guys are feeling for each other.
Okay, so, to close this portion of the conversation,
I-I would like to hear-- Ciara, what are your intentions
that you hope for, for this reunion?
I mean, after that, I don't know.
I mean, I guess we might as well discuss the details
before I put them in the ground
and cover 'em with dirt. So...
Okay, so, we are gonna hit pause on Amanda and West,
and we're gonna circle back on that.
We'll be right back.
Coming up...
Whose cardboard cutout got the most action?
- Lindsay. - I-I gave a lot of hand jobs.
I tried to put that on TikTok, and it censored it.
You look great. Everyone looks fantastic.
Lindsay's giving, like, Cruella De Vil.
- You know. - Yeah, see every, like,
little-- did you get a spray tan? What'd you do?
- Spray tan, body glow, glitter. - Damn, girl.
Yeah, it looks good.
Yep, looks pretty good.
- You look great. - You want another hug, Carl?
Hug-house, I'll always take a hug.
Look at this hot-ass girl comin' out here.
- Oh, she does look good. - Hey, Levi.
- Levi. - Hi. Hello.
- Great to see you. - Hey, Levi.
- Hi. Hi, everyone. - Hello.
- Whoo! - You look great.
- Whoo, Levi! - Sexy.
- You look so hot. - Love the green.
Is Levi wearing Soft Bar green?
- She is. - Oh.
- This is our boy. - You girls coordinated.
- Nice. - So, I heard I missed a lot.
Good portion to miss.
We're gonna lighten up the mood.
Here we go. Five, four, three...
Welcome back.
Before the West and Amanda news
shattered the internet to pieces,
this crew managed to come together
for plenty of chaos in the fun department.
Oh!
Go, go, go!
Kill him!
Whoa! What the...?
And with a whole new crop of new housemates,
the energy this summer was anything but low.
Dara's gonna join us in a little bit,
but, right now, we are joined by Levi.
Hi, Levi. - Hi.
- How was your summer? - It was really fun.
The parties were my favorite part
and getting to know everyone.
It was a really incredible summer.
Levi and Bailey,
I love it that you decided to share a bed
and then put the clothes in the other bed.
- Is this our sleep bed? - Yes.
Wait, this is crazy work.
- Wait, what? - Oh, yeah.
We wanted to cuddle.
Are you two as inseparable as you seem?
I think it's worse than people even realize.
- Probably way worse. - Yes.
- Really? - Probably.
Yeah, we do--
How many times a day do you talk?
- See, do you hear Carl? - I-I, literally,
any time I see Bailey, it's always, like,
Levi's right there.
Ciara, your costumes this summer, uh,
just absolutely through the roof-- plague rat,
an elderly version of Karma Brown.
Um, it looked like Karma's strap-on breasts
got a lot of action.
Honestly, best $300 I ever spent off eBay.
I mean-- - Thank you, Karma.
- Three hundred? - I mean, yeah.
Pierce 'em. Pierce those nipples.
We need those for, uh-- we need the tits for--
- In the clubhouse. - BravoCon.
- Well, I-- well, I saved them. - Oh, good.
Oh, I was hoping one day they could, like,
live in the Clubhouse. - Oh, great.
Um, Jesse, Andrea from Brooklyn, New York,
wants to know whose cardboard cutout
got the most action.
Oh, man, I think everybody got a fair share.
- I think Lindsay. - Carl got a hand job.
Yeah.
- Lindsay-- - I-I gave a lot of hand jobs.
I tried to put that on TikTok, and it censored it.
Mia, Abbey from Virginia said,
"You've been such an amazing addition to the cast
and your friendship with Ciara.
The support, deep love, and loyalty is pure goals."
And you live in the same building.
- We sure do. - Mm-hmm.
- Okay, I love it. - We love it.
We love it and I'm just so thankful I have her,
especially at this point of my life
where I feel like I've lost so much.
It feels so incredible to feel like
I have something that I know I can depend on
and rely on, and who's always
gonna be there for me. - Mmm.
I know I speak for everyone, Mia,
when I say how touched I was when you shared stories
about your beautiful mom
and your struggles, uh, since her passing.
We got a lot of messages of gratitude from viewers.
Melissa from Anchorage said, "Did visiting a psychic help,
or was the heartbreak it brought on too intense?"
It's an interesting question. - Yeah.
I think, for me, I needed that.
I was so worried and hearing that my mom was okay,
wherever she is, just meant the world to me.
How is your journey processing the grief going?
- Every day is different. - Yeah.
It-it really is a journey.
Some days, I'm really smiley and excited,
and I feel incredible.
And then other days-- I'm gonna be honest--
I feel completely stuck.
But I just try and almost live for my mom and my dad
and do all the things that I can
that I know they would want me to do.
The summer found you
at something of a fork in the road,
uh, in your relationship with Scott.
Yeah.
How did that play out?
So, after the summer, we broke up shortly after.
- You did. - We did.
And how long had you been together?
- A few years. - Okay.
Did you instigate that breakup?
- I always do. - You always do.
- Yeah, I'm the breaker upper. - You are.
- Yeah, I am. - Wow.
Ciara, what is single Mia like?
I mean, I saw her at "Watch What Happens Live",
and she was on one. So...
Oh, my God, look at her. Look at her.
What are you doing? What was happening?
Mia-- she loves strays.
I'm like, stop talking to everyone.
I do. I love to talk to people.
Like, she loves to talk to everyone. I'm like,
can we just talk to our group? - I can't help it.
- The strays. - I do.
She's like, "Oh, my God, what's your name?"
Are you looking for the one,
or to have fun, right now?
- I'm not looking for anyone, right now. - Okay.
I'm just looking to pour into myself.
I think it's unhealthy to go from one serious relationship
to another.
Like, I just-- like, let's pump the brakes.
Let's just celebrate me.
So, Ben, watching back the season,
did you have any idea that Bailey had
that big of a crush on you?
I can never have that long of a conversation
with Australian Matthew McConaughey ever again.
- Are you in love? - Physically, yes, very much,
but look at that man.
Uh, no, I did not.
He said, "Period, end of sentence."
- Yeah, no. - Period.
Um, Bailey, let's talk about Amanda's birthday dinner
because what started as a celebration
really turned into
one of the most uncomfortable moments of the summer.
Uh, you accused Ben of wanting to sleep with Amanda.
Do you think the comment came from frustration,
or jealousy, or a mistimed joke, or what?
It 10,000% did not come from jealousy.
I was not trying to upset Amanda
at her birthday dinner, or insult her,
and that is what I felt the most horrible about.
I had been in a plant costume for three hours.
I was very hot and dehydrated,
and I thought I was being, like, silly
'cause he was talking about her looks.
And I felt like, as I said,
I felt like they joked about it.
I felt like because of the skinny dipping thing,
they had, like, a rapport about it.
So, we met at a wedding in Italy last year.
Okay.
And then it was us who basically...
We, yeah, we were up. Yeah, we stayed up.
- No, it was great. - Yeah, we had a good time.
Yeah.
Did you guys go to an orgy, or something?
- Yeah. - It sounded like it.
It's that European water.
Ben, Lucia from Seattle, uh, said,
"You reacted to Bailey's innocuous joke
with such fervor.
Do you have anger issues?"
Ben? I'm just kidding.
Um, look, it caught me-- it caught me off guard.
I definitely felt, uh, hurt and misunderstood
because that's something that, you know,
had never crossed my mind. I would never do that.
And, you know, calling it out in front of everybody,
I was like--
so, Bailey and I hadn't had a conversation,
I guess, for the whole summer,
and if you felt that maybe that's--
A conversation about that or a conversation, in general?
- Anything, any conversation. - What?
Yeah. So, if you kind of wanted to get to know me--
- Are you----ing joking? - Just hear me out.
- We haven't had a conversation? - Well--
The first weekend, it was just me, you,
KJ, and Levi. We're all the newbies.
We definitely knew each other.
I've got pictures of just the three of us out.
- Yeah, okay. - You like to reprimand women.
That was your problem. - No, no, no, no.
You reprimanded her, and I don't like----ing like
the way you talk to Sabrina, and I don't like the way
you talk to me and you're full of sh--.
- Just hear me out. - We haven't had a conversation?
The first weekend,
it was just me, you, KJ, and Levi.
We're all the newbies. - We definitely knew each other.
I've got pictures of just the three of us out.
- Yeah, okay. - You like to reprimand women.
That was your problem. - No, no, no, no.
You reprimanded her, and I don't like----ing like
the way you talk to Sabrina, and I don't like the way
you talk to me and you're full of sh--.
Wait, Sabrina's done nothing
but have your back the whole time.
- I adore Sabrina. - Yeah.
Adore. I think she could do better than you.
- Okay, so, listen. - You talk to Sabrina like sh--.
I didn't say anything was wrong with Sabrina.
Sabrina is exquisite.
I've watched you talking to her, and I was like,
why does this guy only pop off on women?
Sabrina Belle, please do me a favor.
- Okay. - Get ready.
God forbid we ever----ing have children,
and we're trying to get them to school.
When you talk to Kyle, you look like
you're gonna make out with him,
no matter how in the wrong he is.
But she did something you didn't like.
Reprimand. - No.
- I did something you didn't like. Reprimand. - No.
Yeah, you get this, like, face.
Sabrina says something you don't like. Reprimand.
You only reprimand women.
So, someone that I didn't know,
you didn't know me either, calling that out
with something that I would never do
'cause I'm boys with Kyle,
and Amanda and I, we're friends, um,
and, sure, I treated her as one of the guys,
as one of the boys. That's what I thought she was.
So, you-you calling that out,
I wish you had spoken to me first and said,
"Listen, I think"-- - 'Cause I don't give a
if you wanna or not Amanda.
I also think the reason he got so mad
was because he was dating Sabrina the whole time,
but neither here nor there.
I feel like a lot of guys in this house
have secret girlfriends.
Show of hands.
Who thinks that Ben had a secret girlfriend
the whole summer? - You definitely did.
There's a picture of them in June on her Instagram.
- Oh. - In bed.
- We film in July. - Anyway--
Bailey, you were completely turned off
when Ben raised his voice, but when Carl lost his cool
later in the season, you were attracted to him.
- Wanted to make out with him. - Because--
Yes, I did because he wasn't yelling at me,
a woman, you jackass. - No.
What do you think? He was yelling
at----ing Kyle for screaming at a woman.
He was defending a woman. - You were saying--
you were saying that he was angry.
Isn't that what turned you on? - It was hot.
You were saying the same thing about me.
I did not get turned on by you being angry.
I thought you were the biggest piece of sh-- ever.
Um, Carl, what started as a surprise connection
between you and Bailey made for
some of the sweetest moments of the summer.
What was it about Bailey that caught your eye?
I mean, she's easy to talk to, great personality.
I think she's very in touch with her emotions
and, like, very emotionally intelligent.
I don't think I fully was clocking
some of the energy towards us,
like, until maybe the last weekend.
I've always maybe been a little cautious in the house,
um, for obvious reasons.
So, I was just trying to kind of play it cool.
So, where do things stand between the two of you today?
Did it ever lift off?
I mean, we've-we've hung out, you know, in the fall.
We've hung out a fair amount of times.
I mean, I love our friendship.
I haven't really been prioritizing, like,
a dating relationship, just more flirting,
having fun. Um--
Carl loves things soft, you know.
Nice and soft.
Bailey, did, uh, you take Lindsay's advice
and send Carl nudes?
I did not send Carl a nude because I thought
that would be insane. - Okay.
It might be hard, at that point.
Um, but I have spent a lot of time with him
and, um, love him and adore him so much.
Hard Bar.
But, no, I have not unsolicited sent him a nude.
If she sent you a nude, what would you do?
He'd open up Hard Bar.
He stole that from me.
Give credit where credit is due, please.
- OMG. - Hey, you two--
you two next to each other are dangerous.
Wait, I do have a question, though, Carl,
because I was talking to Bailey.
She would go for it. Would you go for it?
Ooh, hotseat.
I mean, I think I would,
but I-I feel like where we are, right now,
I'm just liking the friendship and--
And we're in very different places
in our lives. - Totally.
You're a lot-- you're a lot older than me.
I-I will say that's probably something I think
I forget about it, is just, like, the age difference.
- Yeah. - How old are you?
- I'm 31. - And I'm 41.
- Oh, okay, ten years. Big deal. - That's not that bad.
But I feel like mentally,
he's in a place of, like, wanting to be married
and, like, knows exactly what he wants.
Yeah, I'm not just trying to around.
Like, I really wanna date seriously,
and get married, and have a family, at some point.
- Right. - But I don't wanna waste my time.
Like, just random hookups, like, that was maybe me
in the past when I was drinking and using,
but even in the last two years,
like, I've really tried to,
like, get to know someone and feel comfortable.
And I've said this. Like, when you're sober
and hooking up, like, for the first time,
it's, like, a little... - Yeah.
...it's like learning how to walk, again.
And you need to be comfortable with that person.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
And, not that I'm not comfortable with you,
but it just, I think,
takes time to kind of build to there.
Hmm.
KJ, you called Ciara and Mia your sisters for life.
Fans loved it.
Which one is giving tough love,
and which one is letting you get away with everything?
Neither one of us.
- Neither of one us. - Uh, I don't know 'cause--
I feel like we both really tough love.
I got a bunch of tattoos during the fall-winter.
- And piercings. - Yeah, piercings.
And I-- and piercings, too,
and me and Mia went out to coffee,
and she's like, "Did you get another tattoo?"
- I was so upset. - Yeah.
- Don't get one more tattoo. - And I'm--
and then she saw me again and was just like,
"Did you get another--" like, it's like clocking me.
Ciara, though, I'll go to events,
and then people will be like,
"Yeah, Ciara told us to check in on you
"and make sure you're good here."
So, she's always watching over me.
I'm always watching.
So, they both give it to me equally.
KJ, you've been very vocal
about, uh, your anxiety and mental health,
which people have really admired.
Um, what's been your reaction to the support you've gotten
from-from viewers?
I didn't expect it.
Um, in the fall,
I went through some heavy stuff mentally.
Um, I actually had to go to the hospital
for, um, self-harm,
and, uh, I was there for a week.
Mia and Ciara were there almost every day.
And, uh...
Then I went to recovery,
um, and that solidified it for me.
I was there for a few months.
I got to focus on myself,
and, uh, I needed that because I think,
my whole life, I distracted myself
and ran away from my issues
instead of facing them head on.
But now, I'm, um, better.
I'm in therapy, and I'm on medication.
I got diagnosed with BPD
when I was, um, in the hospital,
and, uh, yeah, I'm-I'm grateful that I'm here,
alive, 'cause I could have not been.
And, um, I'm thankful for just, like,
the support of my friends.
Like, everyone here has somewhat shown support
in their own way, so I appreciate that,
and, um, I'm very thankful that the audience is just,
um, embracing that because it's my truth.
You know, and I'm not gonna not be honest about
what I go through if--
especially if it can help others.
- Thank you for sharing that. - Yeah, thanks.
- Yeah. - Love you, bro. Well said.
Jesse, I can see that you're moved.
I mean, it's a moving story.
I'm just-- I-I-- I feel for you,
and I'm-I'm glad you're-you're good
'cause I don't want anybody to go through that.
Thanks, man.
So, I'm happy he's feeling better.
Thank you.
You're gonna keep doing great stuff, man.
Yeah, thank you, everyone in this room.
No, we love you, dude, for real.
Seriously, thank you.
We're gonna take a break.
We'll be right back.
Five, four, three.
Welcome back.
Ciara vowed to go into this summer
with fewer walls up,
even as she successfully put a very meaningful roof
over her head in North Carolina.
And whether she was being a steady support system
for Amanda or reopening the door to West,
Ciara moved through the summer with a new level of grace.
Uh, Ciara, Bethany from Bend, Oregon said,
"Seeing you and your mom in North Carolina together
"was so intimate, and it showed us a side of you
"we've never really seen before,
"one rooted in family and breaking walls down.”
I know where you came from,
and I see where you are, and I'm just, you know,
really proud of that.
Just keep-keep doing more. - Thanks, Sheila Miller.
Yes, keep doing more, dear.
What's the update on your grandparents' home?
I'm, uh, slowly doing renovations.
Um, I've honestly let my mom
kind of take over the project.
She loves this, like, home renovation field.
- Oh, good. - And she, like,
would call me a million times a day
about what I need to be doing, and I was like,
“Why don't you just do it, and I'll--"
I think that's amazing.
She's like your general contractor.
- Yeah, GM. - Just literally, like,
overseeing the whole thing.
Like, she got all the plumbing done in the house.
But, like, the house had mold.
It needed all new plumbing, electrical.
Oh, my God, yeah.
- Wow. - It needs foundation work.
But I'm really excited about the project, though.
- That's great. - And so is my mom,
even more than me. - That's great.
- Yeah. - Oh, that's good.
And she's a little closer than you.
So, it's gonna bring you together.
- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
Like, I think it'll be a great project
for the both of us, but, also,
we get to build new memories in this house,
as we build this house together.
So, yeah.
Did that trip home shift anything for you emotionally?
Yeah, it's like, this time is so short, like,
with your parents and-and in this life,
and, like, even though, like, we have so many complexities
of, like, the family dynamics, it's, like, I love my mom,
and I want to be able to spend as much time with her
as I can, like, in the future,
and I want my kids to be close to her.
And I, like, want to create a space where, like,
people can come together, and it's, like, a position
I never thought I would never be in.
So, it was nice.
Mia, you were the one
who really pulled back the curtain
on how big of a deal the house was for Ciara.
Why was it important for the group to understand
what she went through to get here?
I think, at times, Ciara downplays her success,
which I can't stand. Stop doing that.
Okay, sorry.
I was with her throughout the entire process.
To see her actually purchase this home
was a huge deal for Ciara, and I just--
I needed you to know that.
- Yeah. I love you. - Did, um--
Ciara, Sydney from Belmar, New Jersey said,
"Not a question but as a Black woman,
"I need to say it's a feat to go from being capital
"to owning capital, only five or so generations
"separated from slavery.
"I hope you're proud of yourself."
That's awesome.
- That's really sweet. - Yeah, I'm proud of you.
- Thanks. - I see how hard you work,
and you're very humble.
I look up to you a lot, and I want my younger sisters
to be like you. - Thanks, KJ.
That's sweet.
West, was it tough to hear about the house
and not be able to share in her joy?
Yeah, originally, I didn't know about it.
And, uh, just knowing Ciara well enough to know
how important sentimental stuff like that is, yeah,
I was kind of out of the loop, but, uh,
towards the end of the summer, I ended up getting to--
we had a conversation about the house,
and that, like, helped bring me up to speed.
Ciara, what made you soften at the end of the summer,
um, and go from being completely done with West
to your emotional conversation
where you kind of let him back in, in a way?
Um...
I don't want everyone to think
that I have this hard exterior,
and that's, like, all there is to me.
Like, I just have-- - You've been hardened.
It's just been hardened, and I'm tired of giving people
chances to, like, me over.
So, that final night, um, of the summer,
the two of you made out in the backyard.
In the backyard.
Yeah, it was, like, ear-- it was, like, ear stuff.
Ear stuff? Is that what you said?
I believe so.
- Ear stuff? - What does that mean?
- Ear? Like ear licking? - Like, kissing the ears?
- Just, like-- - Like, eyes, nose,
ears, and toes? Ears? - To be honest, that--
That revs my engine. So, I get it.
Lobes and stuff.
Were you aware that they were, like,
canoodling that last weekend? - Not to that extent, no.
But can I be, like, a super, like--
put my tinfoil cap on here?
Are you kind of breadcrumbing the audience?
Sometimes it seems like you know what to say
to win people over.
Your friends, Ciara, the audience, uh, if you're--
are you kind of gettin' what I'm getting?
- Yeah, I agree. - Okay.
Yeah, like, I do feel like, at this point--
- Like, was it all bullsh--? - Yeah, was it all bullsh--?
You used it for a storyline 'cause, like, honestly,
you and Amanda feels like the best type of revenge
that you could execute.
And, honestly...
claps to you.
You and Amanda feels like the best type of revenge
that you could execute.
And, honestly, claps to you.
I genuinely felt that when West was saying
these things to me, and-and when you guys--
I genuinely felt-- - Yeah.
But at no point did I say we're gonna date again,
or I'm pursuing her. - No.
I said-- I gave you compliments,
and I do look up to you. I think you're great.
We had a great time together.
At no point have I said, "I'm trying to get Ciara back.
"We're going to date, again." - But the actions.
- No, like, I understand. - You're so full of sh--.
He told Ben that he had a crush on me.
What? Wait, what?
What we talk about in the----ing walls
of my apartment stays in the----ing apartment.
And that when we were together,
it was magic.
When Ciara and I were, like, together,
it was, like, dreamy.
She's unreal, so I can-- I, like, I-I know why.
I know.
He was sad, and depressed, and all these things
that he expressed towards Ben this summer.
Can-can I ask you a question, West?
Honestly, like, hearing all of this,
and you saying what you said to Ben about
it's magic with Ciara, all of these things,
did you really mean that?
Yeah, I wouldn't-- I wouldn't lie
about our relationship being great,
but I also recognized, in that time,
I was not gonna be what Ciara needed,
and we ended it.
We got a dinner right after summer,
and I told Ciara, uh, what my plans were,
and how-how much I learned the first time
from what affected Ciara, and that I wasn't going to
just jump down that rabbit hole, again.
It's hard to ignore the sexual tension,
but I am not trying to portray...
- Yeah. - ...that I am a boyfriend.
But the last thing I want, is her----ing heart broken.
I know a lot of things that can be casual for me
are not casual for Ciara, and we had that conversation.
Um, and I've made plenty of mistakes along the way,
but I was very proactive
in trying to protect our friendship
and not, uh, send wrong messages.
The wrong message.
What was that different approach?
I mean, not having sex was huge.
You can't act like we weren't
sending flirty text messages and, like--
We communicated significantly less.
- Yeah. - And I think we had--
you slept over one time since summer ended.
- Twice. - West, can I ask you a question?
- I think-- - What's stronger?
When you just have sex with somebody,
or when you have an emotional connection
with somebody, what's stronger?
- Emotional. - Okay, thank you.
But, also, I spent the night twice.
So, you don't think you and Ciara
having sleepovers this fall and still just kissing,
not having sex, that wasn't a strong connection?
That wasn't important?
That wasn't something to consider?
Our chemistry, for sure, is-- uh, obviously,
we didn't talk for two years, and we were kind of, like,
right back in it. That is a real thing.
And I fell short in those moments.
I will acknowledge that.
But there are numerous times where I tried to make steps
to not allow us to get to a romantic place
or a physical place and keep it as friends
because I wanted to be your friend and not--
and I learned the first summer-- - We didn't see that.
- Say it, again. - I said we didn't see that.
Yeah, no, and at that end of summer,
I know it got romantic, again, the last weekend,
and I take accountability for that, for sure.
But even in just trying to be friends,
this is what you do to your friends.
West, you're so----ing good.
- You're really good. - You're so-- I'm-I'm, like,
getting pulled into you, right now.
- Yeah. - And I can catch myself.
- Yeah. - You're so----ing good.
You're good at pulling girls.
Do whatever you need to do to climb the ladder.
- Yeah. - To clout chase,
to get to wherever you----ing need to go.
- And then you drop 'em. - And then, boom.
They don't work for you.
They don't serve what you need to be served,
and you drop them.
You're gonna do the same - ing thing to Amanda
when this is not working out, because it's not going to,
and you're not gonna be able to handle it, West,
because you're a----ing toddler.
Or maybe they'll be together, because I honestly think
that the best, like, woman for West
is, like, someone who's not gonna check him on anything,
and that's totally Amanda.
- Oof. - Like, she's very mute.
She's gonna be that weak figure that he needs,
and he can always be the star in-in the relationship.
So, I actually think, like, maybe it could work.
That's your wife. She's not my wife.
I'm just-- yeah.
