Summer House Recap: How You Dune?

"When Ciara and Amanda interrupt his apology, and he storms off, he goes to sit on one of the chairs on the front porch with the packages splayed at his feet like he's a kindergarten teacher about to address a collection of antsy kids and tell them the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." But his Goldilocks, instead, is just going to serenade them with the sad tale of his romantic woes."

"Kyle talks to himself on camera all the time, but this monologue on the front porch reminded me not of Summer House but of Big Brother, where contestants regularly talk to themselves in empty rooms, but instead they're talking to the cameras, they're talking to the viewers at home. "I can't imagine straight up laughing at someone as they're trying to address a group of friends," Kyle tells the boxes/the cameras/the viewers."

Amazon boxes crowd the front door and act as a makeshift audience for Kyle McGill Cooke after he storms out of a dinner. After an interrupted apology he sits on the front porch with packages splayed at his feet, addressing them like an attentive classroom while lamenting his romantic woes. Kyle frequently monologues on camera, and his porch scene resembles contestants addressing viewers rather than private reflection. Kyle claims Ciara seems against him and that her opinions are influencing Amanda. Filming enables friends to voice relationship opinions publicly, exposing private grievances to cameras and viewers.
