Season 10 will be remembered. Mostly for the disaster.
When part one of the Summer House reunion hit Bravo on May 26, Amanda Batula and West Wilson weren’t cool. They were melting down live on television.
The cast had questions. Real ones. About the timeline. About the affair.
It never added up. It still doesn’t.
Ciara Miller saw it coming. She dated West once. She was Amanda’s best friend once. On January 17 she noticed her best friend in her ex-boyfriend’s apartment. She got side-eyed. Or maybe she did the eye-ing. The vibe shifted.
Amanda ignored calls. She ignored texts.
Then the denial. Amanda swore nothing physical was happening. She claimed “everything was PG.”
A mistake? Yes. The first of many.
West tried to help. He said he didn’t kiss Amanda until February. After a brunch. Amanda narrowed the chaos to a make-out session that same night.
Then they got specific. Really specific.
They doubled down. No sex. Not until after their joint statement went out on March 31. Amanda claimed “it wasn’t that night.” West agreed, adding that “this isn’t a sex scandal.”
Meanwhile Amanda is divorcing her husband Kyle Cooke. It’s messy. It’s loud. Fans were screaming into their phones on X.
One watcher noticed Amanda rushing in. Saving West from answering. Why? Because he had allegedly told Andy Cohen they hooked up in early March. Before the statement. He botched the cover-up. She had to fix it.
“Did anybody peep how Amanda hurried up and answered?”
Another fan broke down the contradictions. Amanda said they came clean because there was an intimate video. But also said they weren’t intimate until after the video existed. Which means the statement lied. The whole year.
It doesn’t look good.
Did anyone see how they stumbled through that?
Part one did nothing to save them. The viewers are angry. #TeamCiara is winning. We don’t blame them for siding with the person who told the truth.
Part two airs soon. Redemption seems unlikely.
