Hello, everyone, and welcome to Everything Iconic with me Danny Pellegrino.

Today we're going to be talking about Summer House, and I'm feeling very energized by all the new people in the cast.

It's out with the old and in with the new.

I'm liking the new people.

I'm liking that Ben and Bailey are getting in the mix a little bit more. KJ's got a relationship with Dara, who's, I guess, coming back next week. And so the new people are really bringing it for me, and I'm feeling it. And I think that's what's going to be the future of Summer House. Obviously, we're going to get rid of some of the OGs. they're going to go to their spin-off.

And then I'd imagine Summer House is going to continue on with people like KJ and maybe Jesse and West, although there's all these rumors, which actually let me back up a minute, because I want to let everyone know that I'm recording this before I had to New York to do Watch What Happens Live. So I'm going to be on Watch What What Happens Live. Probably it will have already happened by the time you're listening to this,

because I'm going to be on after the Summer House episode with Kyle Cook.

Kyle DJ Cook. I'm going to be on there. I'm very nervous and excited. But you guys probably

will have already seen that episode or that episode will have been taped

because this podcast will come out right as the episode is airing. Does that make sense?

But I'm recording it beforehand. I don't know. I feel like I'm trying to explain the plot

of inception at this point. But the truth is, I'm very excited to watch what happens live. I always

have a great time there. And then I'll tell you guys about how it went next week on the podcast when I'm back. But I want to let every note, so this is pre-watch what happens live. I'm recording this pre-watch what happens live. And I'm so grateful they invited me back. And I can't wait. But anyway, that's not the point. The point is, as of this recording, there were all these rumors about West and Amanda, and perhaps those two have adalions.

So I'm excited to watch what happens live to get to the bottom of this, but I don't know if I believe it or not. I don't know. At first, I definitely did not believe it. There's like places like Dumois and some of these like gossipy sites have been reporting that Amanda and West have been covertly sort of hooking up or dating or something like that. And I was like, absolutely not. It feels so fake. I don't believe it for a second. Although on the podcast, I think earlier in the season as we've been recapping Summer House, there was a couple of moments where I said, oh, let's keep an eye on those two. Remember on the beach when Kyle was yelling at Amanda, West went up to her and was like comforting her. And I was like, oh, that's like a duo that maybe we should keep our eyes on. But I didn't think it was like that romantical. And so when these rumors came out, I was like, absolutely not. That's completely false. It's made up. I don't buy it. And then I started to see all these pictures of the two of them together. And I'm like, am I being bamboozled now? Like, am I being tricked into thinking it's real? Is it all a publicity stunt? Or is it actual thing that's happening? I don't know, but we've got to get to the bottom of it. And maybe by the time this airs, we'll have already been debunked or something. But what would happen? What would happen? Does that mean West would go over to the spin-off show? How would Kyle react if he found out West was... And then where does Sierra fall into all this? Because here we are watching the show, and I'm thinking, oh, West and Sierra might be a thing again. And then in real time, I'm finding out on social media.

Maybe it's West and Sierra might be a thing again.

And then in real time, I'm finding out on social media.

Maybe it's West and Sierra.

So what's the truth?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Let's talk about this week's episode.

So we open with Jesse in bed with Sierra.
