West Wilson and Jesse Solomon dropped some hints at BravoCon 2025 about how Summer House will change following former costar Paige DeSorbo’s departure.
“It was more of a party vibe [in season 10], because [the cast] weren’t in bed all day,” Jesse, 32, told Us Weekly exclusively on Saturday, November 15, at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas. “[The girls] weren’t incentivized to just sit with Paige and so we all went out together a lot, which was a nice change of pace.”
His costar West, 30, was a bit gentler about Paige’s absence, though he agreed that he bonded more with the female cast during production of season 10.
“Paige and I always have a good humor back and forth that I missed, but Ciara [Miller] and Amanda [Batula] went out a lot [more],” he added.
This weekend, BravoCon returns with over 150 reality stars appearing in Las Vegas. Since there was no BravoCon last year, we couldn’t be more excited for the grand return. At BravoCon, fans of shows like The Valley and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City will get to meet some of their favorite Bravolebrities in addition to […]
Jesse also admitted to Us that he has a unique viewing strategy in place for when Summer House season 10 eventually airs.
“I’m gonna try not to watch and just binge it at the end, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep myself from watching,” he said. “It’ll be good.”
He added, “I just think it’s very distracting [towatch Summer House] in real time.”
Their former costar Paige made the shocking announcement via her Instagram Stories in June that she was quitting Summer House after 7 years on the show.
“I have a little life update for you: I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House,” Paige, 33, said in a statement at the time. “Being a part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable.”
She continued, “You’ve seen me grow up over these last seven summers. I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”

While her departure from Summer House occurred on the heels of her messy split from ex-boyfriend Craig Conover, Paige stressed that she only felt gratitude for her time on Bravo.
“Thank you. I never could’ve imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be along for the ride. And you haven’t seen the last of me, I promise,” she concluded. “So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.”
In September, she told Byrdie that she felt it was important to make a major life pivot despite fear that her “career would be over” if she left Summer House.
“I just had this overwhelming sense that I couldn’t go back,” she recalled. “I know I would’ve been doing a disservice to [the show]. They expect a certain level of showing up, and I couldn’t give them that.”
Paige credited her “Giggly Squad” podcast cohost Hannah Berner with helping her realize she was not dependent on Summer House. (Berner, 34, left Summer House in 2021 and has since become a successful standup comedian.)
“There’s an element of thinking you need that show and network, and Hannah was reminding me they’re not in charge of where you are in your career,” Paige remembered.
Speaking to The Zoe Report, Paige also praised Bravo executive Andy Cohen for helping to prepare her for life after Summer House.
“I’ve always heard Andy be very like, ‘You should have things outside of Bravo,’” DeSorbo revealed in October. “In earlier seasons, he’d be like, ‘You’re saving your money, right? And you’re making good financial decisions and you’re building things outside of it?’”
Summer House is expected to air in 2026 on Bravo. Old episodes of Summer House are available anytime on Peacock.
