Marriage Mess, New Energy & That Not-So-Chill Summer Vibe
Season 10 of Summer House is already letting us know one thing: this is not the carefree rosé summer we used to know.
From relationship tension to subtle shade to “are we still friends or just filming together?” energy — Episodes 1 and 2 came in hot. Let’s get into it.
🎉 Episode 1: “Red, White & Nude” – But Nobody’s Emotionally Naked on Purpose
Summer House is back, and right out the gate, the Hamptons house feels… different. Upgraded house. Same emotional chaos.
The biggest elephant in the room?
Kyle and Amanda.
Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula are trying to present a united front, but the cracks are showing immediately. Kyle is focused on work, DJ gigs, and his lifestyle brand. Amanda? She looks tired of explaining herself.
The vibe between them feels less “married couple in love” and more “business partners reviewing damage control.”
And here’s the issue — Kyle keeps talking about their problems publicly. Amanda is clearly not thrilled that private struggles are becoming group dinner conversation.
You can feel it:
She’s defensive.
He’s trying to act optimistic.
The house is watching.
And we, as viewers, are clocking it.
💃 New Faces, New Energy, New Potential Problems
New housemates always shake things up. Some bring flirtation. Some bring awkwardness. Some bring “why are you here?”
There’s an energy shift this season. It’s less drunken chaos (so far) and more underlying tension.
And let’s talk about the little moments — because they matter.
The random argument energy.
The slightly passive-aggressive comments.
The glances across the dinner table.
Summer House has always thrived on messy fun, but this premiere felt more emotionally loaded than wild.
💬 Episode 2: The “Stoned Cold Truth” Hits Different
By Episode 2, the honeymoon vibe is gone.
Kyle continues discussing relationship issues — and Amanda reaches her limit. You can see she’s not okay with him airing everything out. There’s a difference between transparency and oversharing, and she’s clearly feeling exposed.
The group dynamic shifts when tension spills into shared spaces.
It’s no longer: “Let’s party and forget.”
It’s: “Let’s party… but we’re still fighting.”
And honestly? That tension makes for great TV — but rough real-life marriage energy.
💗 Lindsay’s Softer Return
Lindsay Hubbard makes an appearance, and her vibe feels more grounded. There’s growth there. There’s reflection.
It’s interesting watching someone evolve while others seem stuck in the same patterns.
You can feel that Season 10 is about transitions:
Marriage shifts.
Friendships recalibrating.
Life outside the party house starting to matter more.
🍷 What’s the Real Story So Far?
Here’s what the first two episodes are really giving:
✔ Long-term couples under pressure
✔ Public vs. private relationship drama
✔ New cast trying to find their place
✔ Old friendships adjusting to new life stages
And maybe the biggest question:
Is Summer House still about wild weekends — or is it becoming a relationship documentary with rosé in the background?
🧐 My Take
This doesn’t feel like filler.
This feels like a turning point season.
If Kyle and Amanda don’t find solid footing, this season could shift from “summer fun” to “marriage unraveling in real time.”
And that’s not messy-for-TV drama.
That’s real-life stakes.
What do you think — are Kyle and Amanda going to fix it, or are we watching the slow fade of one of the show’s longest-running couples?
Drop your thoughts.
Because this summer? It’s already not chill.
