Ronnie
And today is Summerhausen. Summerhouse Season 10, Episode 4.
Ben
Yes. Oh, the trials and tribulations of these people in the Hamptons. Well, guess what? It's Sunday. It's July 13th, and if you thought it's like 10:00am, you're wrong. If you thought it was 10 to 10, you're wrong. If YOU thought it was 5 to 10, you're wrong. Because guess what? It's 9:54am and people are waking up.
Ronnie
Yeah. So we go to Bailey and Levi and they're in bed and they're talking about how nasty the downstairs is. And we go to the kitchen to see how nasty it is. It is. And west is going to be a big boy today, guys. And he's going to make a casserole. Watch out.
Ben
Yeah, this. This was a twist. West deciding to make a casserole. It was the big old Midwestern casserole eggs. We don't even know what's happening. In fact, honestly, when, like, Carl's like, oh, you're making a casserole. I was like, what is he talking about? West was going to cook something. There's going to be a casserole. What is it? What is it? But it winds up being a very cheesy, eggy casserole for everyone to enjoy and.
Ronnie
Did not see that coming.
Ben
I couldn't tell. Did it look. What'd you say?
Ronnie
Didn't see it coming.
Ben
Did not see that coming. Did that look like a good casserole to you or a bad casserole?
Ronnie
I mean, I don't know. I'm not. I'm not really a casserole queen. It looked maybe too thick, but, like, I. I thought. I suspect it will be eggy on the inside because it came out in clumps instead of like, a cake. I mean, not that it's supposed to be like a cake, but I like when it'll come out in a full square. You know what I mean?
Ben
Right, right.
Ronnie
And this came out very, like, liquidy ish. And they also didn't really respect it. They kind of slopped it all over their plates. And someone even said, this is like prison slop, you know, which no man wants to hear. You know, that was a big step for west making anything, really. Have we ever seen that?
Ben
No. I think that basically his mom gave him a recipe, and he was like, I'm gonna do this. This will endear me to America and to the house and. And I'll be amazing. But what he did not account for, clearly, is that if you're gonna bake a whole big thing and you're baking the eggs in there, it's gonna take a long time to bake, because baking eggs takes way longer than it does to make them in a pan.
Ronnie
Sure does.
Ben
It sounds like they were all waiting around.
Ronnie
And, you know, I'll tell you who is super upset about this scene. His name is Luke, and he's living somewhere with a very big beard and chopping wood and making rings.
Ben
Seriously.
Ronnie
And he was watching this, and he was saying, casserole. Do you mean a hot dish? Yeah, because it's called the hot dish, not a casserole. You know, you don't need to dumb it down for us here in America. You don't have to be like, hey, I'm gonna make a casserole just so Ronnie understands. I know what a hot dish is, West. Okay? Just call it a hot dish.
Ben
It's so funny because I woke up this morning and the first thing I went onto Instagram and the first thing that popped up is the. Is the chef Sola Wiley, and she from, like, the New York Times, and she posted a video of making a Minnesota hot dish with tater tots. Isn't that crazy? Just like, I guess that's the vibe of this morning for me. And then Dom made tater tots, and I had some. Whoa, what's happening?
Ronnie
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ben
So many connections. I'm just connecting all the dots, guys. Follow the breadcrumbs.
Ronnie
You know, it's important to read the signs. Casserole. Casserole. Something. Something hot. Hot toddies. And I mean, not hot toddies. What'd you call them?
Ben
Hot dish.
Ronnie
No, the tater tots. Tater tots, yeah. Okay, so, yeah, he made a casserole, and Carl's like, well, are you making the casserole really in the mix? I wouldn't have known this had I lived upstairs. But now I know I'm the first one in the house to know there's a casserole being made. Then we go back to Bailey and Levi, and Levi's like, guess who I saw on Raya yesterday? Ben. I saw Ben on Raya and she's like, oh, my God, Ben Arben, my husband, Ben. She goes, yeah, we didn't match.
Ben
And Bailey is like, well, I got to sit on his lap in the car ride home. There was. There wasn't enough spaces. And I was like, I could always sit on Ben's lap. And then he was like, yeah, get over here. And I was like, he was the hottest man ever. I'm pretty sure we're in love now, so it's going to be pretty amazing.
Ronnie
Ben's cute and everything, but I think they're overreacting. I think they're acting. I think everybody on this cast and the world is overreacting. He's a very good looking, you know, guy, but, I mean, kind of in a scarecrow way. I don't know. It's like, he's cute and everything. I just think that we're. We're giving a standing ovation to attract song.
Ben
Yeah. Yeah. I just. I think that, like, he's. He's. He's attractive, but they're acting. I feel like there have been more attractive people in the world, you know,
Ronnie
It's Just a lot of lotting. And, you know, he's cute and everything, but I don't know, it's like, I don't know, maybe because the Olympics are on. So I'm thinking of everything as scoring. You know, I'm like, well, it's a couple points away from a gold, but, you know, who am I to say? And I also think that it's because today, if we were looking at this, like, Olympic scoring today, we saw Ben putting on clothes, but they didn't show his butt. So I'm wondering if it's just like seeing his underwear, maybe that. Maybe that lowered the score.
Ben
Well, let's be honest, because the Olympics are on. We've had two weeks of images of speed skaters with legs like tree trunks and. And booties like a hot dog cart, you know? And so when we see Ben, I'm like, where's the rest of his leg? And. But where. Where are his speed skater legs? And. But can I put, like, where every
Ronnie
other mediocre person in America becomes an expert on excellence?
Ben
Yeah. I'm like, why can't I put, like, a soft drink on your butt right now like I could to speed skaters?
Ronnie
Yeah. So we go back to the kitchen. West and Carl, making their cuth roll, and people come in. Mia, shocked that someone is cooking, and she's like, oh, shit. I just realized, oh, my God, I think I left blue cheese in my purse. Girl, we've all. We have all been there.
Ben
Yeah. She. We see a flashback to film to. To the previous night, and she. They were all hanging out, and she probably drunkenly was like, guys, I'm gonna put some blue cheese in my purse, and we can enjoy some blue cheese at the club. She's probably thinking, I'll bring a little bit of the charcuterie, right? Like, a little bit of our cheese board to the club. And this will be a great idea.
Ronnie
No, it's the blue cheese olives, because they wanted them.
Ben
Oh, they're blue cheese olives?
Ronnie
Yeah, they wanted to put them in the drinks.
Ben
Oh, yeah.
Ronnie
And so the bar didn't have it, so they're gonna bring some blue cheese olives from their house, which I say write a note to the manager and say, hey, would you mind. Would you mind carrying blue cheese olives?
Ben
Also, next time, use a Ziploc. I think she'd, like, put the blue cheese olives into, like, Saran Wrap or, like, into foil, whatever. Is like a. It was a loosely formed packet. And I feel like if you're going to have some wet dairy Laden olives. You're going to need to use a Ziploc. Mm, yeah.
Ronnie
So Carl's like, oh, my God. What is that? Blue cheese? Oh, my God. It's inside your purse. Why is there blue cheese in your purse? Oh, my God. Now my purse smells like blue cheese. God. Oh, God. So she's really upset because she's ruined her purse with blue cheese. I mean, I get it.
Ben
That's a. That's tough. That's tough. It's a tough break, you know?
Ronnie
Yeah. So Jesse comes in. Jesse's mouth comes in. Basically, it's all I see. He's like, hugs everybody. And Carl's like, oh, trying a new look. It's just my underwear know Y. Carl
Ben
14.0 just worth underwear for breakfast is like, did you work out, guys? And Jesse is. Wes is like. He went. Jesse says he went for a walk. And he's like, yeah, it was great. By the way, how do we ensure that this breakfast is good? Which is his way of saying, Wes doesn't know how to cook. What are we going to do to make sure that this is edible? And Wes is like, no, don't worry. No, this is. It's fine. I can make it. And he's like, look, if I'm involved, it'll be good. Don't worry. And girl, thank you very much. So they're like, okay, whatever.
Ronnie
That's not how he answers. He says, how are we gonna make sure this breakfast is good? And west is like, you don't have to have any. That's how you answer, you see, because west is now defensive because he's cooking. And that's what happens. You start cooking and then unappreciative people who don't cook come in here and start giving you shit. Don't eat my fucking casserole then, sir, guess what you're getting for for breakfast? A blue cheese olive with some lipstick on it. Fuck out of here. Jesse Solomon mouth. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial.

And people are just slowly arriving into the kitchen, slowly, one after another from. For many, many minutes. And then we see Jesse, Sierra and Amanda. They go to the bed to. To do some gossiping. And Amanda's asking how their night was. Ciara says it was really good. And she's asking how. What do they all think about Mia? Because Mia just arrived on the show last week and Jesse's like, I really love her aura. She just gives off like a great energy. And then like cuts to Mia just like laying on the sofa while everyone else is cooking and making breakfast. Yeah.
Ronnie
She's like, well, the breakfast smells good, Wes, but it takes a really long time. But, you know, it smells good, but it's taking a really long time. It's like, I love her energy. I love her shaming west about the timing of his breakfast. So he's like, you know, some Jesse back in bed is, by the way, this whole Jesse being a bed bug thing now I'm not into and he needs to stop it. I'm not buying Jesse's whole like, oh, smiling and I'm just one of the girls. Now you're trying to fuck one of the girls. Okay, you're not allowed to be a bedbug if you're trying to fuck one of the people in the bed. This is to gossip and talk shit about people, not to try and get laid. Jesse.
Ben
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesse, like, he's. They're letting him be an honorary bedbug just because there's no other options. And it's good to have three, but it's not a natural. Not a natural combo, you know. So he's saying that he thinks that she's really nice. And he's like, sometimes girls are so mean to, like, be flirty and fun. But I'm just like, how about try being nice? I give lots of compliments. I'm just. Jesse, I'm Nice. And they're like, you do Jesse. You're so great. And in the kitchen, Levi, Bailey and Ben and Cage are hanging out. And Levi. You know, Levi's not really getting a lot of screen time. I'd like to add. I feel like we don't have much more time with Levi. Do you sort of feel like there's this new girl, Dara, who appeared this episode, who is going to start taking over Levi's position in the house? Because I like Levi, and I feel like we don't get a lot of her, and what we have gotten, I've really enjoyed. But she's barely in the episode now. And then suddenly there's a new person, and I'm like, she's in. She's in danger. She's in danger of going back to a life where she can be productive and not have her entire reputation ruined because it's on a TV show for the rest of her life.
Ronnie
Yeah, well, Summer House always has those people who don't really make an impression. They're just there for a minute or they don't make an impression, and they're there for nine years. Like Danielle, you know, there's like, some. Yeah, some people were just, like, ensemble, and they're just there to be like, oh, my God, guess who I saw on Raya? And then that's their only line for the day. I will say that new. The new girl is definitely a presence. You know, she comes on. It's like, whoa. Like the. It comes to life suddenly. Comes to life.
Ben
Yeah, she's gonna do well.
Ronnie
She's basically, like, figuratively sleeping downstairs now. She's in the mix. She's in the mix.
Ben
She found some common ground.
Ronnie
So they come down for breakfast and back to the bedbugs. Amanda's like, what time did you go to bed, Sierra? It's like three. And then Wes and Kyle were on the fort, and I made everybody go to bed. I was like, you go to bed. Go to bed. And Jesse's like, well, you know, Wes would do whatever he said last night. He's, like, holding five drinks. He's like, yo, take a picture of me. Like, when Sierra tells me to get a drink, I'll do whatever she says. Yeah.
Ben
And. And then Sierra's like, well, everyone's trained so well in this house now. And Amanda's like, yeah, they know better. And Jesse says, not everyone. Meeting Kyle. He goes, wes was, like, really pumped about you guys being, like, a little friendly last night, by the way. Sierra, right? And she's like, well, what did you say? He goes, well, I think he just. It was just, like, nice to see you guys getting along. And it's so good that now that your relationship is repaired, I'm going to come right in and try to steal you away from him. Okay.
Ronnie
Yeah. And here's the thing. You know, if Jesse just liked Sierra and wanted to go for Sierra, I mean, who can stop him? West didn't really date Sierra that long. I mean, I don't think it was really that deep, but it's the fact that he keeps every single episode and the entire episode of every single episode. So far, out of four episodes, it's been Jesse gassing Wes up to Sierra. It's like he's. Every single episode. Like, you forgive Wes. You like je. You would like West. Yeah, look at West. West is looking at you. West got animals for you. West is into you. West wants you. Do you want West? You going to go back for? Like, he's trying to gas up west for Sierra just so he can come in and try and compete with west, and that's just so him. It's so gross. He's such a douche.
Ben
Yeah. But he also seems to have more game than west as well because he immediately manages to put his head right on Sierra's chest. It's like, wow, he really is laying the groundwork. I mean, the funny part is I
Ronnie
don't know that that's game.
Ben
Well, he's flirting. He's got his flirt game on. And I will say that, by the way, I agree with everything you said, by the way, first and foremost, second
Ronnie
of all, it's my favorite song. Play it again.
Ben
Yeah. But second of all, what's so funny is that later in the episode, he's gonna be like, I think he sort of asks west permission or basically tells Wes, I'm gonna go for Sierra. But the truth is that he's already in the. It's already in the process, as evidenced by his flirtatious, you know, actions right here. Just putting his face on her chest and everything, and she's. And Amanda's like, wow, it's like a little pillow. And he's like, it's a big pillow. You know, if Wes were just, like, ready to settle down and Sierra would be a great match for him, and he's just not ready. And we differ in that sense. Like, some. Like, I'm very clear that I want to find someone that I can spend the rest of my life with, but Wes is just, like, chilling, and that's just not what Sierra's looking for, like, since when do you want to settle down? I think that maybe you like the idea of, like, how that could make you look. But there's been nothing in the history of Jesse in the way that Jesse has moved that seems to suggest that he is ready to settle down whatsoever. Last year, when he was playing house with Lexi, he still managed to put his toe into a threesome and. And spoil that situation. So I don't know where his, like, Like, I'm. I'm like the mature option. I'm the start of family option. I don't know where that came from.
Ronnie
Yeah, no one who's like, coming out with, like, recording into their voice notes and then putting it out on Spotify, I think is ready for, like, marriage. I just think that that's like a number one sign that you're not ready. I think he's just saying things to get the audience on his side. He's just being like, I'm looking for a relationship. I'm looking for dating. He's just so phony. He's just like a. He's like an audience ass kisser. And I don't buy anything from this guy.
Ben
Well, it's like language. He's just like, I just want to be in a. I just want to settle down. I'm looking for the right one. This is all I want. I'm a nice guy. So. Hey, breakfast is ready. Casserole. Come on downstairs. Get in the mix. It's a casserole mix. Everyone sit down.
Ronnie
Yeah. And so Wes is like, guys, thanks for being patient. Sorry that took so long. It's just that I'm a boy. A boy trying to make a casserole. I simplified the name, though, so I hope that works.
Ben
So Bailey's like, this is redneck quiche. He's like, yeah, redneck Quiche. That's fair. Okay. So they all sit down and start serving themselves. This is where Amanda's like, I just feel like I'm giving slop at the jailhouse. And then Jesse's like, yeah, we're in the jailhouse now. And they all, hey, you want to explain?
Ronnie
What? You want to explain what the casserole is, man? Like, not everybody knows what casserole is. He's like, it's just a bunch of that's baked together.
Ben
Oh, good. You don't know what a castle is.
Ronnie
Okay, well, you know, while we have everyone, like, before everyone gets out of here, you know, Thursday, we're going to do an Australian themed singles bash, you know, because all the boys Talked, and Ben said that he's ready to find love. So Ben's like, hi. Getting warmer, getting warmer, getting warmer. Okay, you're cold. You're cold. Why is he walking outside? Why? Where's he going?
Ben
Yeah, yeah. Apparently there's, like. It just seems like wherever he goes, you just can't find anyone who'd be as interested in him as he'd be in them at all, whatsoever. I'm, like, literally right here. I'm right here. Yeah. If there's. I mean, we wouldn't even have this mixture if there were someone in this house who shows any interest in Ben. Is there anyone? Anyone? Raise your hands if you're interested in Ben. Anyone?
Ronnie
No, he's just looking for a woman. A woman who won't waste a salad at Fresh Greens by throwing it on the ground while she's getting dumped. She's like, wait a minute. So Bailey announces that she was not gonna eat this, but now I'm trying it because I saw how much love you put into it. West let me taste it. Wow. Turns out love doesn't taste good. But thanks. Thanks for trying. That was a good breakfast.
Ben
Holes are really good. There's a reason why I always go to Sweet Greens. Okay, so then west is. So they're putting together the singles thing because Ben has been unlucky in love, and so they're going to try to find someone for. For Ben to fall in love with. So, you know. You know, it's. I'm really glad they're doing this for a Ben, because I just feel like hot Australian men just. They need a leg up in life, you know, Someone needs to give them an assist.
Ronnie
Well, I'm ready to be in a relationship long term. So when I meet someone and I get a good connection and the energies are really good, then I'll give it a good shot. Right. And for the rest of this episode, I'm just gonna let my butt speak for me, thank you very much. And Jess is like, oh, my God, I can't even imagine a girl saying no to you. What the heck? So west is saying, yeah, I mean, in theory, this party is just to get badass, basically.
Ben
Yeah, pretty much. And then maybe west can, like, pick up some of the scraps. So then everyone starts to pack to leave, and Levi is. She lost her Dolcen ca heel. So she. No, she does contribute to this episode because she says, oh, my God, I lost the Dolce and Gabana heel. And Bailey goes, that's one of my favorite shoes that you own. You need to Find that. She goes, oh, I found it so really beautiful. Three act structure to her storyline this week.
Ronnie
Levi really needs to learn how to pace her storylines.
Ben
Yeah.
Ronnie
Spread about.
Ben
And then Kyle and Amanda. Kyle's like, amanda, I'm sorry for yesterday. I don't know, I just, I don't think I'm good. And I hate, I even like these last two nights, the drunkest I've been in a year. And she goes, that's not true. But okay, I'm not even getting into like the drinking of it all. Like, I'm just more concerned. You seem to blame everything on me and you have so many other things in your life going on.
Ronnie
Yeah, you never even asked me about my life. Like, you don't ask me anything. Like you don't have a clue what's going on in my life. Yes, she does. You're drunk every day and, and DJing at clubs till six in the morning. She knows. Is there something deeper to it than that? So she's like, well, we're partners and I just view things differently. It's like, well, that's the thing. I don't feel like it. Well, I say you're my best friend when I talk about you. When something exciting happens with me, then I can't wait to tell you. So I tell you, I don't wait for you to ask me about it. If something interesting happens or it's difficult, you have to tell me. You know, like when you're stressed, I ask if you're okay and then you make it sound like I'm a terrible person. Like, I never do this and I always do this and that hasn't happened and this hasn't happened.
Ben
Amanda, I'm not sitting here making stuff up.
Ronnie
You are.
Ben
And if you're like that miserable with me, then, like, I just don't get it. He's like, well, that wasn't my intention. I don't think I'm in a bit of a. I'm just not a great place, you know? Sorry. I just hope I can turn a corner, you know? Yeah, you won't. There's only so many corners in the square. And you've, you've reached the last one, unfortunately.
Ronnie
So it's time to go home. We get some city, which I like. I like some episodes with some city. Because remember when they were like years that they were like, nah, let's just not show them in the city anymore. No, I want to see them in the city. I will say I think this show could use more people with jobs because I Don't think anybody does anything anymore except work on this show. And I used to really like when they would go to the city and they had jobs and we would. Cindy. We would see what's her face? Crazy face. Lindsay. We would see Lindsay, like, working on her PR stuff and be like, oh, my God, I'm working on a taco contract. And the whole season, you're like, oh, my God, is she gonna get the taco contract? And then she's like, I got the taco contract. I really like that. I need more of that.
Ben
I miss the days of Lindsay moving her entire fleet of interns into the share department with Christina Gibson and Christina sitting there trying to do her work while there was, like, five girls. Like, oh, my God. Should we, like, talk about the campaign for, like, Dunkin Donuts? Like, yeah, let's talk about the Dunkin Donuts. Come in. Oh, my God, let's totally talk about it. And Christina was like, this is a shared space.
Ronnie
I'm sorry, but I've got people trying to reinvent the taco, so deal with it.
Ben
It's like, ah, pizza bitch.
Ronnie
So good. Pizza bitch. So they all go back to the city, and Ben works out, so that's something. And Sierra and Mia take Mia's dog for a walk. And I love Mia's dog because it just lies there on the sidewalk. It's like, yeah, I'm not moving. And it's a little dog too. I'm used to big dogs doing that. But the little dog was like, nah.
Ben
Little dog was, no. I was not happy about it. And then it's Thursday, and Wes and Jesse show up to the singles bash. And so people are arrived. Bailey and Lev. Everyone says hello. Ben shows up with his friends, and west is like, you think an Australian guy with blue eyes needs a fucking singles cocktail mixer? No, it's for me. No, I'm kidding. It's for me. And I said, it's for Ben. See, I knew I knew it. And so then Lindsay, everyone shows up, and this is Lindsay's first proper group scene with the whole gang. And so everyone's like, whoa, Lindsay, look at yes, my milf. So everyone hugs her and says hi to her. They introduce Lindsay to Ben, and Wes is like, yeah, this is Ben. If you can't tell, he's Australian. Oh,
Ronnie
Australians say, no, I saw it on TikTok Nar. And he's like, yes, yes, I get it. He's like, yeah, he's single, but he's looking for love. And like, you know what? I just figured Maybe we could do, like, a mix. Oh, you're looking for love. He's like, yeah, I'm lonely. Oh, well, really? Do you think you're gonna find love? This summ. Have you ever heard of tacos? I. They're sort of a big deal on my resume.
Ben
Having a family and having a baby, that's always been my ultimate goal, and I have that now. So, like, the pressure's off. Like, no longer am I looking for the one. I'm not choosing the wrong guy because I'm, like, up against the biological clock. I get to around and find out and maybe get a sandwich out of it. So with a condom, of course. So if a guy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and from Australia falls in my lap, right?
Ronnie
So now Sierra arrives, and Jesse's like, oh, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. Now. Then we go to Bailey talking to a guy, and she's like, I've been single for two years. I thought it was gonna fall in my lap. I was like, I've always had a boyfriend. Like, obviously, what'll, like, find me? But, like, it does if it doesn't end. I'm two years deep, and I'm still waiting for it to fall. It's a drought. It's basically a drought. You know, I've seen most of these men on bumble and hinge before, and, you know, New York dating scene, it's just, like, so small. Oh, my gosh, girl. New York dating. There's, like, 12 million people in New York. Isn't that one of the biggest dating scenes in the world?
Ben
Maybe adjust your filters a little bit. Just gonna say that right now. But, yeah, like, yeah, also, like, maybe not a great move is be like, hi, nice to meet you. I'm Bailey. I. You know, I've been single for two years, and I thought a boyfriend just fall into my lap, but hasn't yet. So. Are you the one that you fall in my lap?
Ronnie
Yeah. So she's like, well, you know. You know, your soulmate could be just walking by, like, maybe it's a Calvin Klein model with an Australian accent. You never know.
Ben
Got to bend. Just, like, walking past Bailey without even noticing that she's there. He puts, like, a drink on her head. It's like, oh, thank God they got a table here. So then we see Lindsay giving Sierra spicy margarita with an. Oh, it's a girlfriend leash wrong. And people are arriving. So Levi is like, wow, I can't believe you just had a baby. Yeah, your bot is banging.
Ronnie
Thank you.
Ben
And then Amanda's like, everyone in the house is single but me and Kyle and Mia. Have you met Mia, Kyle, and then Mia and comes in and meets. Everyone's kind of coming in and like kissing the. The ring of Lindsay to be like, we are the new cast members. Thank you for having us on your television show.
Ronnie
Yeah. So they're asking me about her relationship and all that good stuff. And then Carl comes up to west and Jesse and Wes is like, did you bring two hot chicks and a bro? I mean, come on, we're all supposed to bring people. He's like, oh. I mean, the summer house Carl was upon us. That's right. They're like, wow. The self proclaimed summer of Carl. So see? Yeah, Summer of Carl.
Ben
You know what soc stands for? Oh, in the mix. Oh. Sort of weird, but it does. Huh. So then.
Ronnie
So Carl to be like, oh, my God, it's gonna be the most amazing summer. I'm calling it sock.
Ben
Yes. I feel like also the last person who had a summer of was Lindsay. Isn't that always Lindsay? Summer of Lindsay. Of course, Carl would steal summer of Lindsay and turn it into summer of Carl.
Ronnie
But, you know, it's always going to be a little uncomfortable in certain settings seeing Lindsay because, you know, like, being friendly and cordial, like, that isn't the best course of action. But, like, I'm not sure, like, do I say something? Do I let it happen organically? I mean, she's not interested in, like, hugging, so that's fine. But I mean, I don't know, what should I do? I'm just, like, going with the flow. And by going with the flow, I mean I'm just going to stand here hunched behind this bar until she leaves. Summer, Carl.
Ben
Suck haul. I know she's not interested in hugging, but, like, God, what I would do for a hub House hug. Oh, harder, harder, tighter, y'. All. Oh, hub house hog, y'.
Ronnie
All. And then enters Dara, an influencer. Dun, dun, dun. And she comes right up to west and she's like, hey, it's me, Dara. He says that he was seeing Dara when he got laid off, and she was super supportive and a lovely friend, but is not gonna date a jobless loser with stupid broccoli hair. Like, he's in the 12th grade, so she dumped him, but they stayed friends and she's dope. And, you know, it's like, it's so weird that people want to, like, hate all their exes, you know? Like, I mean, they're cool and they're hot. They can loan you 20 bucks when you're unemployed. I mean, no one. I mean, I don't hate any of them. I don't hate any of them.
Ben
So Dara's like, I guess. Happy Australian party. What the fuck is this? Am I right, guys? Am I right? Am I right? Ben's like, yeah, I mean, I think that we shopping. This whole idea. Oh, my God. Workshopping. Okay. Is that like an Australian thing? Oh, my God. Can I come sit with you guys? Move out of the way. I'm sitting. Daryl is here.
Ronnie
So Lindsay is talking to the girls, getting the tea, and Jesse joins them. And she's like, I want someone to fill me on what I missed last weekend. In other words, I'm not tea. And so they're talking about how they went out and partied. And Jesse's like, yeah, you know, it's really crazy. Like, it changes the energy with you guys coming out. It's like 11 out of 10 hanging out with us. You know, everyone's looking at us. And Sierra's like, what? What is he talking about? And Lindsay's like, I don't know. I just tune him out sometimes. All I hear is mouth.
Ben
Yeah, just nod and smile.
Instacart Advertiser

They have a new preference picker that lets you pick how ripe or unripe you want your bananas. Shoppers can see your preferences up front, helping guide their choices. Because when it comes to groceries, the details matter. Instacart get groceries just how you like.
Ben
So Lindsay turns to Jesse and she's like, well, you're single.
Ronnie
Have you met anyone? Are you against anyone?
Ben
He's like, no, I haven't done anything with anyone in the house yet. And Amanda's like, in the house. And then Mia. Suddenly everyone sees sitting down. So Mia comes by with, like. She starts digging a glass of a spoon, and she's like, everyone, we are at a singles event. And not that I am, of course, I found a boyfriend, so. Which makes me a little bit more superior than all of you guys. But we're here and we're all sitting down, and I need you all to get up, okay? Because you two know each other. You two. Okay, you guys have to start standing up. I like that. She's like, why is everyone sitting at this? Stu? If I have to come to a stupid singles event, you all better mingle because this is stupid that we're all
Ronnie
sitting here on benches and Ben and Lindsay are chatting, and he's like, the house is so much fun. I'll get along with everyone. She's like, oh, so you're bad TV. Okay, well, least you're hot. And Bailey sees them, and she's like, oh, my God, look at Lindsay and Ben. I mean, that could be great. You know, they would make hot babies. I mean, I'm really happy for her. This is going great for her. Good for Lindsay. So happy for her. Wow. Already found love, and a baby still needs to take a man off the market.
Ben
Good for her.
Ronnie
Love that for her. Love that for her.
Ben
Amanda says, well, I know Lindsay's face, and she can't understand what he's saying right now. And Lindsay's like. She's like, what's a wallaby? What's a sheila? What's a didgeridoo?
Ronnie
I'm sorry, but really, the only word I know is nar. And he's saying, well, I heard little bits and pieces from Call. She's like, kyle or Carl? Call Kyler. Carl. Really don't know what you're saying. Can we get an interpreter over here? Thank you.
Ben
So tell me about your life, what you do. She's like, well, I was a publicist for the majority of my life. Like, literally, I came out of the womb and I was doing a press release and then. But now I'm a former publicist. Garrett Milf. That's what I do.
Ronnie
Love it. Love that. Love that for you.
Ben
I love that she says she was a publicist for the majority of her life. That is. I don't know why that's so funny to me. Started in school. Yeah. Like. Like, if she was. If she started NPR at age 22 and now she's, like, 36. Like, I guess maybe that's still not quite the. It's just, like, when you say majority of her life, it's like she truly is an Olympian. You know, like, at age 5, they were pulled out of school and had to be homeschooled so that way they could go into a special program to learn how to do the parallel bars. Except for Lindsay, it was like, media alerts. Yeah, I'm on Olympic track.
Ronnie
She went to a normal school, but she had everybody convert over to Singapore math. She was that into it. She just always showed that PR streak.
Ben
Yeah, she was really good at just swaying the narrative at school.
Ronnie
They were like the stock. And Capri suns went up 90% when Lindsay was in our preschool.
Ben
Media alert. The cafeteria will be serving orange juice today. Thank you very much.
Ronnie
So Bailey's like, wow. Yeah, look at that. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Bailey's saying, oh, my God, if that man touched me, I would not know what to do with myself. I would faint. Like, he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen. He's like Thor. Like, he's not like Thor. You're just making things up in your head now. He's like, if Scarecrow was playing Hugh Grant in something. And it's like, has nobody else noticed that he goes swimming every morning and then he comes back in with a little towel wrapped around his abs? Has anybody else seen it? Amanda's like, no, you liar, Amanda.
Ben
And then Bailey goes, well, I mean, so does west, but it doesn't hit the same. And we see. We see, like, side by side footage of Ben getting out of the pool and Wes getting the pool. And you're right. It does not hit quite the same way. So Amanda's like, well, you gotta lay the groundwork. You know, you gotta, like, build that friendship. Have that banter. Let him know that you're interested. Okay, great. I will lay the groundwork. I will walk by him and not say anything and hope that he notices me. Give me one second.
Ronnie
I'm sure that he doesn't notice that she's interested. I mean, come on. We're talking about Bailey. That. What kind of advice is this? You're gonna get a restraining order put on this girl? Like, you know what? He really needs to know that you're interested. He knows. We all know. Okay, Yeah.
Ben
I mean, I would giggle. I'd be like, oh, he's better suited for someone else. It's, like, too good. Like, I. By the way, I don't also hate him and Lindsay right now. I feel like that's, like, kind of a stunning couple right there. And Mia's like, no, we're trying to talk about you and him. They're like, stop. Stop. Putting him onto Lindsay. Onto Lindsay. You can do it. She's like, okay. I mean, I'm outgoing. I'm not, but. But I'm not at the same time. I'm, like, outgoing, but in going. I'm kind of like. You know when you go to an office and there's, like, a lady there who has, like, two trays, and one says, outgoing mail and ingoing mail. That's me. I'm the desk. I'm just a desk in a relationship, and you can put things on me, and that's fine, and I'll be okay. And you can just walk by and you'll never notice me because I'm a desk. What are we talking about again?
Ronnie
So she's like, well, you know, it's hard for me because I was in a relationship with someone who was constantly telling me that I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough, people don't like me, you know, I look fat, I need to watch my calories. And I was like, oh, my God, did you date my mother? Well, texting my mom.
Ben
I'm not saying that.
Ronnie
Is there some history here you haven't shared?
Ben
Look, I'm not saying this for sympathy. I just want you to be sympathetic towards me. And, you know, that's how I told, you know, Levi. I said, it's being in this situation, being in this house, and, like, going in, going into a new group of friends. I just had to remind myself multiple times that you're like, you're being paranoid and, like, people don't hate you. While everyone around her is, like, falling asleep. Like, okay, this has been a bit of an overshare. We're just at a mixer now. We're gonna go over there.
Ronnie
The newbies are so free with their feelings. Everyone else is like, why are you still talking? Well, here's today's insecurity. And, you know, after my breakup, I was afraid of men. Like, because I see the pain they're going to cause me a month from now or two years from now, I'm just going to end up crying over you. So before they even talk to me, I'm like, save it, cancel it, whatever. I'm just done. I mean, I'm well aware that that's fully fucked up and I have a million issues and I'm working on them. Just give me some time. Oh, where'd everybody go? I'm talking to a table tent.
Ben
So then Amanda and West are sitting, and Amanda is like, what are you doing? He's like, well, I'm coming to make sure you're. You're good as a non single. And she's like, I just feel better than everyone. He's like, really? Yeah, because I'm in the perfect relationship with the love of my life and there's no issues whatsoever. Are you having fun? Wait, who's that girl? Did you bring her? That girl? Who's that one? Hi, I'm Dara. Oh, I guess her name is Dara. Yeah, her name is Dara. We flinged. Oh, what does that mean? Well, we hooked up for a bit and then like a year ago, but, like, way before I met you. And like, and like, then like, we had a far away Relationship.
Ronnie
So you invited a girl that you used to hook up with For Ben, he's like, I think like, I'm just like not bringing her in here to banger in front of you guys. I mean, that's not my intention. God,
Ben
I'm just a little boy who makes casseroles. So he tells us the progress from last summer to the summer with him and Sierra is like, that's there. And they're back to like a flirty and fun place and everything is cool. And he's like, I would never fuck with that. Despite how messy this relationship has been, there are still boundaries that we've both tried to, like, hold and just respect with each other. And it's just like super important to keep, you know, our little family together, you know?
Ronnie
So now it's July 18th and we're back at the Hamptons and Kyle comes in. It takes six hours to get there. How did I never real. I thought it took like three hours to get there there. How are you going to go?
Ben
Well, I think he drove from New Hampshire.
Ronnie
Oh, okay.
Ben
He drove from New Hampshire? Yeah.
Ronnie
Geez. Oh, yeah. Because it was his family reunion. I should have kept paying attention. I was like, six hours, I'm out of this show. That's painful. How long is the drive from NYC to Hamptons? Let's see. It is. Oh, it's like a couple hours.
Ben
Yeah, yeah, it's not bad.
Ronnie
I got very upset with the Hamptons. It's like, fuck that place. I hate that place now. So, yeah, yeah, I went to a family reunion. I was, I got a DJ gig on the beach. And by gig, I mean, yeah, I was on the beach and my mom was there swinging around her bra and saying, you go, kid. So that was fun. You know, sold out show, 800 people. And there was a little frustration on my part that Amanda wasn't coming, but I don't know, I just feel like neither one of us wants to have another weekend like last weekend, so. Well, I'm gonna come in on a clean slate then. Now it's 7:01pm and Carl, K.J. and Sierra arrive. God, they almost made it there at seven, but was one minute later. So Ciara's like, yeah, I'm easy to please, but I'm not carrying my bags. So someone else do it. And Lindsay comes this time and she's with Bailey and they're chatting and stuff and you know, it's summer house coming back. So it's 20 minutes of hellos and. And Lindsey's like, Carl's like, not at the top of my mind, all right? Like, I'd love to sit here and be like, oh, my God, I wonder how it's going to be with Carl this year in the same house. But, like, I don't give a fuck. I broke up with that guy. And like, whatever, I gave it up. Like, I really, truly do not think of that, man. Unless I see a brick and mortar store and I just slowly mumble to myself, failure as I pass by.
Ben
Well, you're not even thinking about me. Even though it's the summer of Carl. Oh, I'm in the mix, so. So you should probably think about me a little bit more. A little bit more.
Ronnie
I'm here.
Ben
I'm here. New Carl.
Ronnie
New Carl. Kyle and Amanda. Kyle's sitting there working, by the way. And by working, I mean he's like, doing. He's bopping his head to music. He's like, yeah, that's gonna be a good one. Yeah. Oh, hey, you know what? Oh, wait, hold on. Brick house. She's a brick.
Ben
Brick.
Ronnie
Brick house. Yeah. Mailed it. Amanda's like, oh, wow, you made it, Kyle, you prepping for tonight? And she's like, putting her hair over his face and trying to be flirting. He's like, I'm trying, all right. It's like, you didn't even comment on my hair, Carl. I mean, Kyle, he's like, oh, I didn't comment on it either. Sorry about that. It is good, though. Great hair.
Ben
It's really in the mix.
Ronnie
Was that fun loving sounding? Because this is the year of sock, so.
Ben
Yeah, it's a sock year. Which is funny because I don't wear socks at breakfast anymore.
Ronnie
Just.
Ben
Just Carl 14. Bueno. Just underwear only, no socks. So Amanda says that it's been a rough summer for her and Kyle, but she feels like if we're gonna move forward and figure this out, they need to focus on the positives and do whatever it takes to have a good time. So as long as it. As long. As long as no one else ruins it for her, she'll be staying positive this weekend. Cut to her saying, you didn't even say anything about my hair. So Amanda, that is, like, I guess as. As positive as Amanda can get.
Ronnie
It looks good.
Ben
So then.
Ronnie
Well, I've got some positive news. There's a milk in the house. A mom you'd like to while she makes an upside down pineapple gang. Because I'm making an upside down pineapple cake. Because it's Lindsay. It's the summer of upside down pineapple cake.
Ben
Yeah, it's kind of my thing. It's kind of my thing the way doing VR at 6 years old was kind of my thing in the playground. So. Making my famous pineapple upside down cake. So they're like, okay, cool. The newbies have no idea about the significance of this cake. They're just like, okay, make your pineapple cake. That sounds great. And by the way, her timing on it is strange because she makes this whole cake, but I feel like they don't even touch it until, like, three in the morning. But that's fine. Whatever. Kyle, West, Bailey, Jesse, and Sierra and Mia go outside, and Amanda goes to bed because she's feeling sick, and she's like, hacking up along for the rest of the episode. And then west is like, you're going to bed, but your boyfriend has a big performance. And Amanda's like, yeah, my boyfriend. Right, my boyfriend. So Sierra's sitting on the sofa. I'm sorry, it's more like Sierra sits on the edge of the sofa that next to Jesse. Even though there's a full, full seat for her next to West. She sits on the arm of the sofa next to Jesse, which is significant because he then says, funny that there's an open seat over there, but she chooses this.
Ronnie
Yeah. She's like, ha, ha. So then Ben and Lindsay are in the kitchen. She's like, do you cook? And he goes, I do breakfast or I'm handy on a barbecue sometimes. She's like, yeah, it's hard to get a read on Ben because, like, I don't know, like, on paper, like, he's a beautiful specimen of a man, but, like, is he flirting? Like, I have no idea. Do people flirt by talking about making breakfast? He's like, I don't have any recipes, but there were a few things I could do. Okay. She's like, that's all that matters. You're really, really boring. No.
Ben
And then outside, Jesse is asking Kyle how long his set's gonna be, and it's gonna be like two hours. And like, geez. And Bailey goes, billy Joel. Was two hours just such a strange comp. It's like, wow, that's as long as a Billy Joel concert, guys.
Ronnie
He's pressing play on a machine. He's not sitting there at a piano for two hours. They're like, wow, Two hours of playing other people's music. That is crazy. And so now they're getting ready, and Kyle and Amanda stay outside for a talk and say, kyle, how mad would you be if I didn't go? Kyle, he's Like, I mean, I was really hoping we could rally. It was a really big deal for me, really huge. I'm going to be at Common Ground. That's a pretty big deal, man, if you've heard of it. Oh, somebody say Common Ground.
Ben
It's a great place. I was just thinking about it when we were, while I was training for the marathon this morning after breakfast where I was wearing socks and so then Jesse and Sierra are, are flirting in the mirror and stuff and they're both wearing cowboy hats and Sierra's like, imagine this is like our engagement photos. And Jesse's like, I mean CR is so hot and we're having such a nice time and like last summer she just, she had just dated my best friend, so obviously I would never pursue it. But I'm just thinking like, maybe Sierra would be open to something with me now, you know?
Ronnie
Oh God,
Ben
yeah, yeah, he's a shitty friend. I think, I do think this is a shitty, very shitty of him.
Ronnie
He's a shitty friend. And does he even really like Sierra? It's like you've had a whole, you've had this whole year in between. Why is it now only at the house you want it? Because he's there to compete with on tv. I just don't believe that he really even likes her. And it's also very, you know, like an old fashioned book where the guys discuss it, right? Like, oh, can I go for her? Can I have her? Can I have her? I doubt that Sierra wants you, sir. Although, I don't know, Ciara's not really known for her great taste in men, so I don't know. I mean, I root for Ciara so I hope that she wouldn't be wanting him, but the track records are not great, so.
Ben
Yeah, her track record is actually hideously terrible. Really beyond awful, awful, awful, awful. So now the guys, the bros are just hanging out in the bedroom and now we have a significant scene because they're all hanging out in that, in that room with the two twin beds. And Jesse goes, hey west, you don't care if I make out with Sierra, do you? He's like, is that in the works? I don't know. But like, I think if anything it would be just like a drunken, you know, just for fun kind of thing. Like, I don't know, something like that.
Ronnie
The guys are horrified by the way. All the guys are like, what the fuck? Like, yeah, just read their face. Read the room, sir. And Katie goes, yeah, that's wild. And west says, whatever. I mean, go on. I mean I had like a month long relationship with this person. How dare you? So now everyone's getting ready, and Ben's wearing a bucket hat. Big moment. And Bailey's like, you cannot wear that hat. I refuse to let you. Dude, if you want a girl, like, you should definitely wear that hat. Don't listen to him. He's trying to ugly up. He's trying to ugly up so he has less competition. Don't listen to him.
Ben
Bailey's like. I mean, Ben's like, I feel like I'm hearing something about this hat, but I don't know where that noise is coming from. Is it from the oven? Who's talking to me right now? It's me. It's Bailey. I'm one of your roommates. Well, must be the house settling in.
Ronnie
And Amanda's like, I can't go, Kyle. I don't feel that. I think I need to stay home. He's like, all right, well, rest up. Don't be on your phone. That's what resting up is, being on your phone.
Ben
Unless.
Ronnie
Do you rest up?
Ben
Seriously? So Kyle is like. He's like, well, well, we will be respectful when we come home, right, everyone? We're gonna be quiet for Amanda. And Carl's like, oh, you better tell yourself that. Zing. Oh, God, I love being able to joke around now that I'm in the mix. Oh.
Ronnie
So we see Kyle DJing, and coincidentally, it was two hours of Billy Joel music. Crazy.
Ben
It was just pressure on repeat.
Ronnie
And they come home at 12:55am which is crazy because it's not like 12:57,
Ben
which it could have been. Yeah.
Ronnie
And Bailey's like, I need to get Jesse's cardboard cut out out of my room. It's. The mouth is too big. Can we put it in Sierra's bed? So now they do this, like, wacky cardboard cutout placement all over the house. Let's put the cardboard beds in each other. The cardboard stuff in each other's beds.
Ben
Yeah, they do this everywhere. And then Mia is like, jesse, I don't want to see you in my bed. Never ever. Right? Because she walks in and sees Jesse in her bed. Because people walk. Sierra walks in and she, like, gets startled. Then she opens the front door. She's like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. She sees a cutout. So they're all. All these. It's like wackiness with these cutouts. It goes on way too long. And then 4 in the morning, 4 or 6am, specifically cases. I thought they were coming in at 4:05. You'd be waiting around another minute because they did not arrive until 4:06. It's Ben West, KJ and Jesse. They arrive home and west is like, I hate how the door works. It's so sad now, which is true. I feel like we want that door to be fixed all season, but now that it works normally, it just sort of feels anticlimactic. Like I'm waiting like every single episode for the door to stop working, for it to like warp into awfulness again.
Ronnie
It's like the non human. It's the non sentient version of Kyle of Carl. It's like the door got door 2.0 and now it's really boring.
Ben
Yeah, yeah, exactly. The door's sober now, so the door
Ronnie
got it shit together now. We're like, okay, you're still on TV though, so make an effort.
Ben
The door's like, hey, I was thinking about opening up a brick and mortar store called Knobs.
Ronnie
So Kyle. Kyle's like, I know I'm two dimensional, but like, how are you not spitting my. How are you not spitting me right now? Because Ben has his arm around the cutout Kyle. He's like, yeah, how are you not, like trying to get to third base with me?
Ben
Kyle's cut out, by the way, is aimed so that way it's eating Lindsay's upside down pineapple cake because everyone knows that Kyle eats carbs late at night.
Ronnie
So KJ's like, well, I can't believe Jesse asked about that shit. And Kyle says, what? And Wes is like, oh, yeah. Jesse approached me and said, I want to make out with Sierra. Do you think I would. Sierra would be mad if she found out. Wait, do you think that Sierra would be mad if she found out? He said that? Probably, right? And he's like, well, I mean, the whole thing's just weird. I mean, as I don't know about that. She would destroy him if she knew. She would destroy him.
Ben
So basically what the. The reading in between the lines, west will do the nuclear option. If Jesse pursues this, he's gonna be like, Wes is clearly gonna go to Sierra and say, hey, Jesse's been saying this, treating you like an object that's passed around, right? And so I. I suspect west is going to bring it to Sierra. So Kyle's like dusting the waters and like, well, I don't think he's there yet. Which is like, why? I'm like, why would you bring it up to me? You know? It's like, well, that's your boy's ex girlfriend. Yeah, it's not like it was a hookup. It's just like you guys were like, dating and like, that was like your girlfriend, like all that, bro. Oh, God. It's crazy being raised around women, right, guys?
Ronnie
Yeah. I don't know if that was his girlfriend, but maybe I'm remembering it different. And Kyle's like, yeah, I mean, maybe it was a gray area, but, like, you guys did go through some shit. And Ben's like, yeah, I understand why people would have a crush on her. I mean, when I talk to her, I'm like, fuck, you're next level. Me who?
Ben
I've been here the whole time. I've been actually with you guys. I came back with you guys. I'm part of the 4:06am crew. You didn't realize I was here, but I've been here.
Ronnie
And Wes doesn't think that Sierra's going to go for it anyway, so he's like, whatever. So now it's 8:48am And Lindsay wakes up and she's like, oh, my God. Gemma, let's FaceTime. Oh, my God. Hi, Germany. How are you doing? Did you get a contract today? I need you to be less lazy while mommy's away.
Ben
Can you show me your press releases you wrote today? Thank you. Sierra and Mia are in bed and Mia's like, I had the weirdest dream. It was a spicy dream about Jon Hamm and see how I was like. Because we all know it probably was, like, really annoying, right? Because honestly, Jon Hamm outside of Mad Men is just not the same. Right. He's just so. He's so goofy. Just doesn't hit the same.
Ronnie
Yeah. I mean, he played such a good asshole on Mad Men and it was about an asshole, but I mean, it worked for Mad Men. But yeah, in other things, I don't.
Ben
He's just been trying to be funny ever since. And I'm like, just please stop. Just go back to doing Jon Hamm characters.
Ronnie
Yeah. Here's one thing. I don't want to see Jon Hamm do smile and he smile. You know, like when they make him smile and things, I'm like, whoa, whoa. That's a different person. I don't want to see him smile.
Ben
Yeah. I want to see him moody and sullen and giving an ad pitch.
Ronnie
Yeah.
Ben
So. So that's my way of saying, I can only imagine how that must have been for Mia to have that dream. So Ciara is like, ooh, I'm uncomfortable. She's like, yeah, it was uncomfortable. He kept on trying to do comedy bits during the dream, it was just not working.
Ronnie
Then we go to Kyle, Lindsay, and Bailey outside. And Lindsay's like, oh, my God, I was like such a good hype girl yesterday. And Ben goes swimming and Bailey's like, good day, mate. Good day, mate. Wow.
Ben
Hey, who let the Calvin Klein model in here? Right, guys? So Sierra's asking, asking me how she looks, and she's going to make a matcha. And then in the backyard, Lindsay sit next to Ben and she's like, sorry. He like, sorry for what? I just accidentally, you know, touch. You touched me. Yeah, sorry.
Ronnie
It's like I'm doing it again. Whoops. Whoops. Oh my God. I'm sorry. I keep touching your arm.
Ben
How do you say arm? And Australian. Om.
Ronnie
Ram. Ram.
Ben
Crocodile. So Bailey is like, wow, Lindsay, she could flirt with a rock. I mean, it's the craziest thing I've ever seen. They are literally just like, in awe of her. I mean, she's just being herself and she's just so confident. I'm just like, wow, I aspire to be like this Olympic status flirter.
Ronnie
So now Ben sees Kyle and he's like, are you mustaching it right now? Should I get on that train? I'd like a hairy train. I really do. I feel like it makes people more manly. I mean, not Kyle, but you know, he is trying, so that's nice. Well, all right. I'll grow a mustache then for the rest of the summer. Oh, do you think I know how to flirt, by the way? Yes, thank you, thank you. He's by the way, completely ignoring her. He's talking to everybody else and she's kind of on the other couch and
Ben
she's like, why not a flirt?
Ronnie
And he just kind of like looks back, but not looks back at her. He just turns his head enough to go, yes, and then turns away.
Ben
It's like he's driving and he's like turning his head back to speak to someone in the back seat. He's like, yes, you're doing a great job with the floating. Love your commentary about how you like a man with a mustache. And then we see a flashback again of her being like, I like a hairy man. Hairy man are really hot. I like a hairy, sweaty man. So Ben says, well, I think once or twice, maybe like, I think you can, like, turn it on when you want to. Like, you can definitely flirt if you try. I have been trying. Oh, well, I think you have potential to be an even better flirter. It's like, okay, well, I'm just gonna Be a complete whore today. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm a whore. Is this the flirting? I'm not sure.
Ronnie
Tell everybody when I walk out, the village whore is here. The village whore has arrived. Am I flirting? So Lindsay is like the village horse here. Wow. Oh, my God. She just called me a whore. So Carl and KJ come back because they went running and they brought back food. Guys. So Carl's like, guys, let's load up the cooler. You know why suck? I love hosting parties. I think Renaissance Faire is, like, one of the best themes we've ever come up with. So I'm going all out. Big motherfucking turkey legs, Knight's armor, bales of hay. It has the opportunity to be literally the best party we've ever had. Ren Faire.
Ben
Yeah. I love that I came up with the idea of Ren Fair. What an original idea. So people are eating food and people are asking me. Is asking how she can help with the party. Well, I think I just need a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm, you know, some of Summer of Carl energy. Oh, Sock energy. You know what I'm saying? It's like, okay, well, what time did you guys leave the club? And they're saying, oh, it was late. And she goes, well, I just remember, kj, you had two girls sitting on your lap. Which means that now we're gonna get another KJ monologue about what it's like being torn between being a man whore and a non man whore. Well, there's a part of me that's kind of enjoying it. Like, oh, bro, you got all these girls on your lap and you're surrounded. But then, like, my feminine side is like, this isn't right. Like, if my mom saw this, you'd be like, what are you doing? Like, who do you think you are? I'm just, like, trying. Trying not to be a lover boy. Feels very fraudulent. Like, okay, we're gonna have to wrap up the storyline. It's not working for me. Like, KJ seems nice and lovely, but him debating, like, grappling between being a lover boy or a non lover boy is just, like, really not doing it for me. Yeah.
Ronnie
So then Jesse is getting into bed with Sierra, and Mia comes. And so first we see when west and Lindsay in her room, and she's like, is that my bestie Westy? It rhymes. How was last night? And he's like, I was just mixing it up. Yeah. Well, how are things going with Sierra? Well, good. But, like, we got along. But then Jesse told me, do you Care if I make out with Sierra. I'm really determined that somebody tells Sierra this. So maybe you can finally be the one to take this back to her because I've told everyone in the house and no one said anything. Help a brother out. Yeah.
Ben
So Lindsay's like, wait, back it up. Jesse asked you and like a, like, like seriously, like where were you there? Are you there? And KJ's like, yeah, I was there. It was really hard for me because I'm like, what would a lover boy do? And what would a non lover boy do?
Ronnie
I didn't really think anything of it. But then Ben last night was like, that was the weirdest shit ever. Like, you know, it's weird timing. So like Ben said it. Oh my God, Ben's hot. Yeah, like a really hot guy said it so must be really offensive. Wonder if he's going to tell Sierra. I hope no one tells her.
Ben
Yeah, that'd be terrible if someone told her and like ruin Jesse's chance to ever get with her. By the way, I was thinking about something. Do you think that kj, his whole like lover boy thing, like, oh man, I really want to be a man slut. But then the side of me says, no, don't be a man slut. Do you think that Wes told him before the season? Look, last season Emeril basically got on the bad side of all the women in the house because he brought back too many women. And then the viewers didn't like him at all because of it and they thought he was like really gross. So you can't bring in anyone home. So like maybe your story should be that like you want to bring people home but you can't because you were like raised by like you have all sisters. Like, because I can totally imagine west telling that to kj. KJ being like, okay, cool, that'll be my story theory.
Ronnie
I mean at the very least, yeah, they're going for an anti emerald type thing where they go from like the biggest like man whore to someone who's like, I just, I just can't. I'm addicted to respecting women. There's my addiction.
Ben
I'm addicted to respecting my sisters and mother.
Ronnie
It does seem a little heavy handed. I mean I didn't believe it at first. I just figure, no, that's a fuckboy and he's just coming and he's laying down the groundwork like, I'm gonna try to be a fuckboy because I'm normally not one. Wish me luck guys. Yeah, I don't know. So Lindsay is Saying, like, well, we got the whole. Like, he got this whole room of, like, single guys together to make sure that everyone knew that he wants to make out with her. Like, what the hell? He's like, lindsay, God damn it, sometimes you're so good. She goes, no, I mean, like, that was him calling dibs. That's what he was doing.
Ben
Yeah, I like that. Like, west did not connect these dots. Or he did connect the dots, but he doesn't want to be the one to say it. So he's having Lindsay.
Ronnie
He did. He's just being a wuss. Instead of saying something to Jesse, he's going to go around complaining and being a victim to everybody else in the house so that they say something to Jesse or Sierra because he doesn't want to do it.
Ben
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's pretty obvious that he was calling dibs. And Wes, like, wow, I didn't even think about that. So meanwhile, Sierra and Jesse are being flirtatious. The latest version of their flirtation is that they are spooning in bed and Sierra's baby talking to him. And he's like, I'm just trying not to get a boner. Oh. She's like, please don't.
Ronnie
You can call me King Solomon. Now we go back to the other group, and Wes is like, I don't even think that Sierra would do anything with him. I'm just, like, confused. But, like, Jesse in general right now. And Wes is asking her what she thinks changed in him, and she's like, like, maybe he's catching, like, feelings for her.
Ben
So now they start setting up for the Renaissance party, which is fun. And Jesse has found a little toy piano. So he's, like, tinkering on it like a. Like a chicken on the golden girls. And he's making these little songs, and Amanda's like, write me a song, Jesse Solomon. Which is actually quite close to a Billy Joel lyric. And Jesse is like, okay. Her name was Amanda. She had something to say. She looks so good every single day. She's like, okay, well, that's better. That should be your next Spotify hit. Yeah. You know, it's so funny because I literally, like, I meet a girl, and then I write a song about her for the next week and then immediately send her the file.
Ronnie
Jesse Solomon. Yeah, that was one of the songs. Is that cringe? Yeah, it really is. Well, I did just write a song about, like, being in love with your best friend. It's so good, you know, I'm not saying who it's about. Secretly. I want you so Bad. You're as shiny as a tiara. Just wish we could walk down the street holding hands with. Not gonna say the name. I'm gonna say the name, guys.
Ben
I love the smell of sea air.
Ronnie
Yeah.
Ben
But I'm not gonna say who it is. So the producers are like, well, it's Sierra, right? And he's like, I'm not saying it's about Sierra. I may have a very secret homosexual love for West. Who knows? But she doesn't know.
Ronnie
So then we go to Lindsay and Bailey hanging out by the pool, and Lindsay's like, oh, my God. Did Carl steal Shrek's shoes? Again? We see Carl's crocs. His green crocs, yes.
Ben
And Bailey's like, I like his bodega slides. He's got them on. I think he got them on sale. Lindsay goes, yeah, I can tell.
Ronnie
So now Lindsay and Sierra are wearing inflatable riding horse costume thingies, and they're sword fighting. And Amanda's like, this is the most you'll ever see me and Sierra fight. Oh, she popped my tit. Then Jesse and West are sharing a floaty in the pool. And Jesse's like, oh, there's a video of Sierra that's, like, jokey, flirty. And she replied to it like, oh.
Ben
Wes goes, oh, yeah. So that video of you guys in the car. So it's, like, all jokey. He's like, yeah, I think it is. I mean, we've always had a good friendship, and, like, you know, she's hot, and we've just been, like, vibing and flirting, you know? And he's like, so you were asking permission? No. Which is the nice thing to do, you know, like, just, you know, in case we got drunk and made out. Like, I don't want to be, like, weird, you know? You know, bro.
Ronnie
Yeah. And he's like, well, I mean, I just want you to know. Like, I talked to the guys, and they thought it was really, really weird. So I don't. I thought it was weird.
Ben
This is kind of like a weird kind of pussy note from him. Like, just say that you think it's weird. You don't have. He's like. He's, like, afraid to say it. He's like, I spoke to, like, a lot of people, and they all think it's weird, so I guess I think it's weird too. But I just want you to know everyone thinks it's weird, so it's not just me, so you can't get mad at me.
Ronnie
Yeah, well, you know what? It's Been a really long time now, and I made a rhyme with Sierra, so I don't know. I was like. Well, I mean, just saying, like, the guys thought it was really weird. KJ and Ben both thought it was really weird. And Jesse does that thing where he gets mad, but he keeps his big, stupid, open smile, and he's like.
Ben
His smile starts to slowly descend into, like, the upside down trapezoid. And so then west is like, yeah, I mean, Ben was, like, really bugged out, and he's like a celebrity, so we don't want to bug him out. You know, it's like, really? Like. Yeah. I mean, like, on paper, you ask your boy if you can, like, make out with his axe. But, like, I think most people in my position would be, like. Would, like, call you, like, a weirdo or, like, a dickhead for asking, you know? You know what I'm saying? Like, some. Some people would do that. Like, I don't know if I'm doing it, but, like, some. Some would do it.
Ronnie
I mean, what am. I should. What should I have done? Just, like, not asked and not done it? I mean, like, the fact that you dated her makes it, like, weirder, but it's not gonna stop me. And Wes is like, yeah, I mean, look, I don't know that west gets to call dibs on Sierra. There's only so many people allowed in the house, and I don't think you're allowed to do that in this. In this. I get what he means, that Jesse's supposed to be his best friend and stuff, but he's also kind of besties with Sierra, so I don't know. I don't know.
Ben
I think Jesse's also competitive, and I
Ronnie
think that, you know, he's ultimately. I think Jesse's a douchebag. I just think that west is kind of get. He's kind of getting off here, and everyone's gonna go for Jesse as the douchebag, which Jesse is a douchebag. But I don't know. They're both kind of being gross. Like, I don't know that you really get to fight for Sierra either. You fucked her over. Like, you kind of gave up your rights to that.
Ben
You did fuck her over, and there's no future between you and Sierra, so there's that. And I think Jesse. His whole. What he alluded to last season was like, I was interested in Sierra also. It just so happened that, like, west coast called dibs on her first, so I never had a shot at her. So I feel like I want to have My shot at her. So that's what. That's where I think Jesse's coming from. And he's sort of coming from the love island school of I'm just here to find love. And, like, yeah, Fred would be great, but, like, I've got to, like, look out for me because, like, that's what I'm here to do, is to find love, which is not really a real life way to approach situations. But I think that's the kind of vibe he's putting in. Like, you had your shot. It didn't work out. It doesn't change anything between us. But now I want to take my shot. But it just. Life isn't really like that. I mean, it's your best friend, and it's just a little weird.
Ronnie
Yeah. Well, let's see what happens, everybody.
Ben
Yeah.
Ronnie
I don't know. I think if it's surreal, then try it on the off season and don't wait until the cameras start rolling again. And then you can, you know, build up Wes the entire time just to try and compete with him. He's very transparent in this whole thing.
Ben
Yeah, I agree. I agree.

Watch What Crappens #3233: Summer House S10E4 “Bro Chode” (February 25, 2026)
Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
Episode Focus: A laugh-heavy, irreverent, and detail-packed breakdown of Summer House Season 10, Episode 4, honing in on the murky relationship drama, breakout moments, flawed casserole-making, and competitive bromance energy in the Hamptons.
Ben and Ronnie deliver their signature comedic and snarky take on the latest episode of Summer House, focusing intently on escalating drama – both romantic and bro-centric – in the Hamptons house. They crack sharp jokes about everything from West’s doomed casserole, blue cheese purses, and “audience ass kisser” Jesse’s game with Sierra, to the reintegration of Bravo icon Lindsay and the ephemeral promise of the “Summer of Carl.” The recap is a running parade of observational burns, Bravo in-jokes, and endearingly unserious social commentary.

Ben and Ronnie keep the recapping witty, unserious, and packed with Bravo-reference callbacks. They balance deep dives on cast psychology with lighthearted roasting and a refusal to take any drama–or any character–too seriously. Jokes about casseroles, butts, and cardboard cutouts abound, and their conversational rhythm brings an air of joyful mockery that's as much about the art of watching Bravo as about the events themselves.
For anyone missing the intricacies, shade, and kitchen disasters of the Hamptons, this episode offers a hilarious, layered, and accessible run-through of one of Summer House’s messiest weekends so far.
