At 49:33 · chapter starts 46:55
Claudia reports that Summer House's controversial couple Wes Wilson and Amanda Batula were spotted in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, after previously vacationing together in Italy. A fan submitted the sighting to the gossip account Du Moi; the pair were reportedly overheard exchanging 'I love you's' at a bar. Ben recently had dinner with castmate Jesse Solomon but declines to share any intel, praising Jesse as a nice guy with a good head on his shoulders. The couple's spotting prompts a broader conversation about reality TV's costs: Ben argues the genre ends in despair, citing Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan as examples of people wrung out by the machine. He notes that Jesse went in with a platform strategy, which is the smart way to approach it. Claudia teases that all of the old Real Housewives of New York cast is reuniting for a new show called Golden Life.
Summer House's Wes Wilson and Amanda Batula were spotted vacationing in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, visiting family — a sighting sent in to Du Moi by a fan. They reportedly exchanged 'I love you's' at a bar. Ben, who recently had dinner with castmate Jesse Solomon, offered no intel.
Ben Soffer praised the Love Island USA producers for transforming an initially dull cast into compelling television through heavy-handed production decisions over the final weeks. Claudia agrees: breaking up OG couples made everything more interesting.
