As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming reunion of Bravo’s hit show Summer House, star Paige DeSorbo has revealed her thoughts on the challenges of filming, personal growth, and her new single life.

This season, the 30-year-old star has not only navigated the complexities of being a reality TV personality but also dealt with the emotional aftermath of her public separation from Craig Conover, making her journey all the more relatable to fans. “Definitely, there are some parts that are kind of hard,” she remarked while reflecting on watching the season unfold on-screen. However, she noted a sense of validation in seeing her friendships with cast members Ciara and Amanda highlighted amid the season’s chaos.
DeSorbo expressed her feelings of peace watching the show, stating, “I don’t feel like more validated because it’s kind of like I always knew what happened, but I feel more at peace.” Her awareness of events helps her cope with the tumult that often accompanies reality TV, where personal stories are exposed for public consumption.
Excitement fills the air as Paige anticipates her first summer as a single woman in her 30s. “I’m excited. I haven’t been single for a summer in a while, but I’m also excited because I’ve never been single in my 30s, and I feel like it is just so drastically different than your 20s,” she shared. This new chapter not only reflects a shift in her personal life but also in her dating preferences. Unlike her younger self, Paige is now looking for a partner who easily fits into her lifestyle, rather than someone who thrives in the party scene.
The reunion is another topic of intrigue, with Paige noting the unique dynamic this year. “You know, it’s funny because I think this was one of the first reunions collectively that we’ve had that there were a lot of laughing breaks,” she noted. Paige’s description of the reunion atmosphere points to an evolution within the cast, moving from drama-driven narratives to moments of genuine friendship and laughter.
While discussing fellow cast member Jesse Solomon and comparisons to last season’s West Wilson, Paige humorously acknowledged the lighter vibes this reunion, suggesting that laughter reigned supreme. However, she did express regret for being too harsh with Wilson last year, revealing her continued empathy for her fellow castmates.
Paige also praised newcomer Lexi Wood for her handling of the drama with Jesse, suggesting that Lexi’s poise and emotional intelligence will serve her well in the future. It is clear that as Paige navigates her journey, she not only reflects on her personal growth but actively supports her castmates in their paths.
As we await the premiere of part one of the Summer House reunion on May 28 on Bravo, one wonders how the cast will navigate their evolving relationships and situations. Will the laughter continue, or will unresolved tensions reignite? Fans are encouraged to tune in to find out what surprises await.
