"We need to tweak Kyle Cooke's most famous quote: " Summer House should be fun. Kyle and Amanda? Not fun!" For the second episode in a row, the dissolution of Kymanda has been a drain on them, a drain on the house, and a drain on how much fun it is watching the episode. I mean, these two are over each other. Like Labubus in 2026 over. Like post-MAGA Nicki Minaj over. Like 6-7 over. Like over over."
"Kyle is freaking out about Amanda getting in the pool naked, even though there is a long history of them skinny-dipping as a house. Kyle is taking shit about Amanda to the boys right in front of her. Amanda ignores Kyle when he asks where she's going. Amanda refuses to talk to Kyle about their issues until he brings them up. Kyle brings it up in front of the house, and Amanda gives him crazy looks for it, ignoring his previous apology."
The dissolution of Kymanda has sapped energy from Summer House and made episodes feel joyless. Repeated conflicts show both partners frustrated, unable to communicate, and locked into blame. Kyle reacts strongly to Amanda skinny-dipping and complains to the male housemates, while Amanda ignores him and refuses to engage until provoked. Bailey notes that neither can do anything right and that the pair need someone to concede, but neither yields. Amanda cites long-standing tolerance of Kyle's partying and late-night behavior as justification for ending patience. The dynamic indicates a power shift and mutual damage to the relationship and the house atmosphere.
