Summer House vs Vanderpump Rules: “Pumped Up”
By Amanda Cline
Bravo loves a sneaky little crossover, this Summer House and Vanderpump Rules mashup is no different. Buckle up, east and west coasters!
If you haven’t been watching Summer House, tonight was a good episode due to some familiar faces. Bravo likes to cross-contaminate our shows, so the kids from Vanderpump Rules ventured over to the Summer House …house.
Stassi Schroeder, Beau Clark, Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney pack their bags and head to the East coast for some pool parties and paper towel fires.
I’m not sure about you all, but I am ready to not see Vanderpump Rules cast members on my non-Vanderpump Rules shows. Let me live!
Jumping right in
If you have been sleeping on Summer House, let me introduce you to these nuts with some hot takes:
Carl Radke is a doofus who has a habit of trying to woo the ladies. Key word: trying.
Kyle Cooke has a habit of cheating on Amanda and lying about it.
Lindsay Hubbard has many tendencies, she’s currently dating and living her best life.
Amanda Batula is a smart, beautiful girl who deserves better than Kyle.
Danielle Olivera is naming all of the animal statutes in the home. Dodged a bullet with Jordan.
Hannah Berner is a cool tennis player who has a cat named Clyde.
Paige DeSorbo is also a funny girl who has not been woo’d by Carl. Yet.
Jordan Verroi is a liar who seems very insecure with himself. Self proclaimed ED (not an eating disorder).
Kyle and Amanda cry over a romantic dinner together because Kyle can’t get anything right.
Carl wants to date Paige, but doesn’t text her or call her during the week as requested. He takes another girl to a wedding (his M.O.) and is then mad Paige goes on a date with someone else.
Honestly, Jordan Verroi is one of the strangest people on TV right now, which always makes for good TV. He tells extravagant stories that literally no one believes. One story was even the plot of The 40 Year Old Virgin. He takes a nice lady out on a date, promptly asks her, “where were you conceived?” And when that didn’t work, asked if she was his soulmate.
Hannah was gifted a lovely clock(?) with a photo of her cat from her current love interest. We approve.
Then the ‘Pumpers arrive
All four Vanderpump Rule’s stars arrive around 8 PM on this lovely summer Friday. Due to a pervious faux pas where Kyle told Stassi she looked like Steve Jobs in her turtleneck, they all put on their finest turtlenecks for the arrival.
They do shots, eat some lobsters, and get down to business.
Tom Schwartz allows Kyle to try on his wedding ring to “see how it feels.”
Amanda and Katie talk about how hard cheating can be on a relationship. Duh, girls. Duh.
They all sit down to dinner and get into a large argument about how Paige is leading Carl on.
Then the paper towels catch on fire in a true testament to how this dinner is going.
Next week, we get to see the conclusion of the disaster dinner. Can’t wait!
Summer House is on Bravo Monday nights at 10 PM ET with another Vanderpump Rules cameo next week. Are you guys watching this crossover? Let us know!
