Summer House

Sex scenes with nothing shown. Not scary. Not Witty. Just not fun. Waste of my time. I have to add more characters so here they are. And I have to add more 2/10.

First of all, I won't spoil anything because in most reality series, the "plot" is not as important as the drama quotient since they're not supposed to be scripted anyway. This one is definitely not and we can totally feel the spontaneity. I wasn't sure I would be into it because I remember thinking it looked lame and boring when they launched this as a sort of spin off from Vanderpump Rules. But in retrospect it was the perfect introduction to this light fare which grew on me to the point where I can admit it has now become one of my favorite reality series.

The stories involve the protagonists hooking up, fighting, boozing it up and basically making fools of themselves but in a way that is rather addictive. This is not on the level of the Real Housewives for sure nor does it pretend to be and the cast is mostly young and not so young New Yorkers spending time in a summer house on the weekends as a group, the title says it all really. Misunderstandings, gossips and arguments ensues which makes the series quite cringe inducing for those who don't like that sort of thing and quite intoxicating to those who do.

I for one will admit that I am quite delighted in spending time with those wacky young adults acting like children most of the time. But to me, the quality of a reality show is how much I enjoy watching the often hilarious shenanigans and the force is strong with this one. If you hate reality shows to be begin with, this one is not for you nor is it even one of the best in this genre.

But my strong rating of 9 stars is mostly because in spite of myself and maybe because I love to watch ridiculous drama unfold, I truly am fascinated with it and so even though I won't pretend this is anything more than light fare, it is still an entertaining piece of fluff and I'm fully there for the ride.

I cannot help but recall how relationship analysis PsycHacks describes such behaviour. The players in this display of mental illness, self-destruction and manipulation are all apparent. Poor Carl, the enabler, needs to grow up and grow a pair. His impending doom due to the abusive, narcissist Lindsay is all too imminent if he doesn't escape. Kyle used to be so happy until he made the mistake of marriage to a petty, abusive, self-centred woman.

In this world of modern independence, where men do not need women, (and women don't need men, except for economic use), displays a last generation of desperados thinking they need a partner. Most lonely men will fold for anyone. Desperation is not sexy.

Friends take note: you can be a happy independent person, alone and sometimes lonely, until the days you grow old and eventually die. Nurture your real family and friendships. Put your energies into better things. Most marriages fail anyways. Everybody take note of this all-too-common reality, Have fun, grow up, live your life and move on from such toxicity.

Is there anything more ridiculous than Lauren and Ashley?

First of all, I wouldn't rate this show terribly but the people (other than Kyle and Amanda) are just disgusting. All the women are average and the men are total douchebags. I originally started watching because I wanted to find out more about Paige and wow did Craig Conover dodge a bullet. What a spoiled and vile person she is. Lindsay is so gross also and no wonder no man wants her permanently. Carl is the biggest loser of the guys and no wonder he's still never been married. These people think they're so hot/special and they all are just average and will be lonely forever. If you ever wanna learn not what to be as a human being, be sure to check this show out. There are other characters that I could go on about, but they're not even worth it. Just all around barf.
