The Summer House universe is buzzing with drama, departures, and uncertainty, and Gabby Prescod is at the center of it all, serving up candid revelations that have fans reeling. In a recent interview on the Please See Below with Brynn Whitfield podcast, the reality star, who joined the Bravo series in 2023, opened up about her uncertain future on the show, her shock at Paige DeSorbo’s confirmed exit, and juicy behind-the-scenes insights from the reunion. With confirmed cast exits and whispers about the show’s direction, Gabby’s interview is a must-read for fans craving the inside scoop.
Casting Chaos: Gabby’s Uncertain Summer Plans
One of the biggest bombshells Gabby dropped was the chaotic casting process for Summer House season 10. When asked if she’ll return, Gabby revealed the frustrating reality of the show’s last-minute decisions. “We literally don’t get told until, like, three or two weeks out,” she shared, highlighting the uncertainty that leaves cast members scrambling. “It’s kind of like, how are we not doing that? For us, it’s our summer, so we want to know if we’re doing it or not to plan stuff.”
This lack of clarity affects not just logistics but the cast’s ability to mentally prepare for the intense filming schedule. Gabby’s honesty pulls back the curtain on the high-pressure world of reality TV, where personal plans take a backseat to production timelines.
Paige’s Struggles and Exit: A Shocking Revelation
The conversation took a surprising turn when Gabby reflected on the Summer House reunion, where Paige DeSorbo, a fan-favorite since 2019, revealed how much she struggled during the latest season. “I was surprised about Paige talking about how much she struggled this summer,” Gabby admitted. “I didn’t watch it back, and I didn’t really see it either.” She noted a specific instance when Paige slept in her room one night, but Gabby wasn’t present that weekend, making it hard to gauge her castmate’s emotional state firsthand.
The real jaw-dropper came when Brynn broke the news during the podcast that Paige is officially leaving Summer House. Gabby’s reaction was immediate and heartfelt: “That is wild. You know what, good for her.” Reflecting on Paige’s decision, Gabby speculated that after years of committing her summers to filming, Paige is likely ready for a break. “If you’ve been doing this for as long as the OGs, I would be like, ‘I want a summer to myself, where I’m not working,’” she said. Gabby also touched on the broader phenomenon of reality stars staying too long, suggesting some cling to the comfort of familiarity, but Paige’s exit signals a bold move to prioritize her personal growth.
Paige and Craig’s Breakup: “Kind of and Kind of Not” Surprising
Another hot topic was Paige’s split from Southern Charm star Craig Conover, which sent shockwaves through Bravo fandom. When Brynn asked if the breakup surprised her, Gabby’s response was intriguingly layered: “Kind of and kind of not.” She explained that Craig typically visits the Summer House cast for at least one weekend each summer, and during those moments, the couple seemed fine. “A lot can change between July and November,” she mused, referencing the timeline of their split. Gabby also admitted to being caught off guard by another high-profile breakup—Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard’s—showing how even cast members are sometimes left in the dark about their co-stars’ personal lives.
The Future of Summer House: Who’s In and Who’s Out?
With Paige and newcomer Lexi Wood confirmed to be leaving, speculation about the season 10 cast is at an all-time high. Gabby didn’t hold back on her uncertainty, saying, “I mean, at this point, I don’t even know.” She questioned whether Lindsay Hubbard might scale back her involvement, noting, “I doubt that she would come out every single weekend.” The revolving door of cast changes has left fans and Gabby alike wondering what the Hamptons house will look like next summer.
Could Gabby Jump to Real Housewives of New York?
As the conversation shifted, Brynn, who recently announced her own departure from The Real Housewives of New York, asked Gabby if she’d consider joining the iconic franchise. Gabby’s response was refreshingly candid, hinting at the toll Summer House’s grueling filming schedule takes. “I don’t know. I feel like it’s such a different format,” she said. “I’m a little PTSD because our format is 24/7 nonstop for three days straight, plus pickups in the city on Wednesdays and Thursdays.” She painted a vivid picture of the invasive process, with “cameras in our bedrooms” and “mics in our headboards.”
Brynn countered that RHONY might be an easier gig, but Gabby remained skeptical, citing the intense scrutiny and time commitment of reality TV. Her hesitation underscores the unique challenges of Summer House’s immersive filming style, which leaves little room for privacy or downtime.
