Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula believe Paige DeSorbo did a lot of favors for Craig Conover when it came to what she shared of their relationship on Summer House before their late 2024 split.
In a group interview with the rest of the women of the show, including Lindsay Hubbard, 38, who addressed her potential role on season 10, Ciara, 29, and Amanda, 33, suggested that Paige, 32, kept certain things off-camera as they warned that “all bets are off” now that Paige and Craig have called it quits. They also reacted to West Wilson‘s fall from grace.
“I will say — and [she] can kill me or not, but she saved a lot of face in the beginning,” Ciara explained to Vulture on April 16. “She did him favors that I was like, you probably shouldn’t.”
“I think a lot of us have protected Craig,” Amanda agreed. “He’s lucky.”
“And now all bets are off,” Ciara replied, adding that when it comes to the show, men often “get to run rampant and do whatever the f*ck they want to do” and “hide behind the ‘I’m a good guy’ mask.”
Another idea that the ladies don’t appreciate is the idea that women should settle down by a certain age. As Amanda explained, while she once thought she’d be pregnant by 25, she’s now focused on her mental health.
“The people who are the most critical of us are the women our age or older,” Amanda shared. “They have said the nastiest things about us, worse than we have ever said to or about each other. The hypocrisy is wild.”
As for West, 30, and his transition from a fan favorite into a villain, which was largely due to his treatment of Ciara, Amanda admitted that she and her castmates “knew eventually what was gonna happen.”
“There’s no way you rise that quickly and just stay there,” she noted.
Then, after Lindsay added that she doesn’t believe the men on the cast can “handle any confrontation or negative feedback or press that comes” with their job, she and the ladies agreed that Jesse Solomon, 31, got the most heat for season nine.
Also during the interview, Lindsay looked to her future on Summer House, saying she is “of course down to film this summer,” but that “obviously I’m not going to bring a 6-month-old to the house every weekend.”
She then admitted that being pregnant in the house was the “best summer of [her] life.”
When it comes to rumors of Lindsay joining the Real Housewives of New York City, which Andy Cohen has admitted pitching to Bravo, Lindsay said, “The conversations are happening; I’m not involved with them. ”
Earlier in March, Lindsay told Decider that “wherever they want me, I’m available.”
Summer House season nine airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
