The trailer for the eighth season of Bravo’s hit reality show Summer House was released on January 11th, giving fans a glimpse into the upcoming drama. This season promises plenty of partying, romance, and relationship turmoil in the Hamptons summer share house.
Lindsay and Carl’s Engagement Implodes
The biggest shocker in the trailer comes near the end, when Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke get into a huge fight, culminating in Carl calling off their engagement. Lindsay is shown sobbing and saying she “didn’t see this coming.”
The couple had a tumultuous relationship in past seasons but finally got engaged last summer. Now it seems the wedding is off. Fans were stunned at this twist, having expected a summer wedding between the two.
Lindsay later said in an interview that she expected to be pregnant at this point in her relationship with Carl, before he suddenly blindsided her:
“I thought I would be married and pregnant by now…Clearly, that backfired. I really did think we’d get married and have kids, and we’d live happily ever after.”
The confrontation shown in the trailer looks intensely emotional. At one point Carl yells at Lindsay “You’re really gifted at playing the victim.”
New Roomies and Returning Faves
While Lindsay and Carl’s breakup may be the biggest headline, there is plenty more going on in the Summer House this year.
The Season 8 cast includes 8 returning members:
- Lindsay Hubbard
- Carl Radke
- Kyle Cooke
- Amanda Batula
- Paige DeSorbo
- Ciara Miller
- Mya Allen
- Alex Wach
Additionally, there are two new male cast members joining the summer share this year:
- West Wilson: a new roommate from the west coast who sparks interest from some of the ladies
- Jesse Solomon: a friend of Carl’s who starts romancing Ciara
Meanwhile, Luke Gulbranson, Andrea Denver, and Julia McGuire will not be returning this season.
The mix of old and new housemates is sure to bring fireworks. According to the trailer, both newcomers West and Jesse get intimately involved with the ladies of the house.
West is seen making out with Ciara at one point. The pairing seems to ruffle some feathers, as Paige quips “He’s literally been here two days – and has now made out with two roommates.”
The Usual Hamptons Antics
While relationships may be rocky, the trailer indicates there will still be no shortage of partying and outrageous moments in the Summer House. Plenty of drunken hookups, fights, and tears are promised.
The housemates are shown getting crazy and letting loose at various Hamptons parties and nightclubs. There also seems to be no lack of romance – both Carl and Luke are spotted intimatately dancing with new women.
Amanda jokes in the trailer “Is anyone at this house just like, normal happy?”
Indeed, the answer seems to be no.
Other standout moments from the trailer:
- Kyle announcing “Amanda and I are gonna start trying” for a baby
- Ciara and Mya having an emotional heart to heart, where Ciara cries “I try so hard and I get sh*t on every season.”
- Lindsay throwing a wine glass and shouting ”f**k you guys” during a dinner fight
- Paige exclaiming “This house is a full mess already and it’s only day 2!”
All in all, Season 8 is shaping up to be the most shocking and entertaining yet.
What Can We Expect for the Rest of the Season?
While the trailer provides some insight, it only shows the first few episodes of what is sure to be a wild ride. If past seasons are any indication, there will be plenty more fights, romantic twists, and surprises in store.
We can likely expect to see the full behind-the-scenes story around Lindsay and Carl’s split. Perhaps even a confrontation or discussion happening when they reunite?
Additionally, Amanda and Kyle’s comments about trying for a baby are interesting. Could we see a Summer House baby announcement before the season’s end?
Also – will new castmates West and Jesse only have flings within the house, or turn into more lasting relationships? Are the couples dancing with Carl and Luke at clubs a sign of new romantic interests outside the house?
Many questions to be answered!
While the housemates’ summer in the Hamptons looks as drama-filled as ever, hopefully there will also be moments of growth, friendship, and fun.
At the very least, it’s sure to be 8 weekends of highly entertaining reality TV viewing.
