The highly anticipated Summer House season 10 reunion was filmed on Thursday, where Ciara Miller will come face to face with her former friend and ex-boyfriend, Amanda Batula and West Wilson, for the first time since they announced their romance. But while the show’s controversy has been compared to that of Vanderpump Rules‘ infamous Scandoval, Summer House will not be following in the show’s footsteps and altering its reunion format.

Season 10 of the Lisa Vanderpump-led series went up in flames when Tom Sandoval had an affair with Rachel Leviss, his Vanderpump co-star and friend to his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix. The scandal swiftly went viral, and at the reunion for the reality series, Bravo boss Andy Cohen sat down with all three parties involved separately to gather their side of the story.

Miller, Batula and Wilson will not film scenes with Cohen separate from the main Summer House reunion, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The reunion will follow Bravo’s typical format of the whole cast being present and seated on two couches to hash out the contents of the current installment.

Adding to the buzz surrounding the show, Bravo released the official seating chart for the season 10 reunion on Thursday, also finally confirming the exact date the special episodes were to be shot. Miller and Batula will be seated directly across from one another with Cohen in between them; Kyle Cooke, Batula’s husband whom she’s separated from, will sit beside Miller; and Wilson will sit across from him, beside Batula.

Rumors previously swirled that the reunion would not feature the full Summer House cast onstage at the same time, though Bravo swiftly debunked speculation.

The ongoing Summer House drama has been mirrored to that of Vanderpump Rules‘ Scandoval, though the details are notably different. Miller and Wilson dated in 2023, though the larger betrayal is mostly understood to stem from Batula, whom Miller was dear friends with on and offscreen, pursuing a relationship with her friend’s ex; Madix and Leviss did form a close bond on Vanderpump, though Sandoval’s infidelity arose after a nine-year relationship with Madix.

After a month of rumors, Summer House stars Batula and Wilson confirmed their newfound relationship on March 31, rocking the Bravosphere.

Wilson joined the cast of Bravo’s Summer House in season eight, which began airing in 2024. During that installment (which was shot in 2023), Wilson met the cast and began his romance with Miller, whom he dated through the end of the year. At the season eight reunion of the reality series, they announced they were no longer together, and Miller revealed that Wilson said he could not commit to a serious relationship with her “for show-related reasons.”

Wilson and Miller were on rocky terms throughout the ninth season of Summer House. Season 10 premiered in February and is currently airing, where the two have gotten close and rehashed aspects of their former romance. (In episode seven, Miller admitted that “it’s very clear that we both miss each other,” and noted that “we’re in a weird state of like, limbo, and so it’s all just coming out so disorganized and a bit crazy.”)

On season 10 of Summer House, Miller has been an avid supporter of Batula amid her rocky marriage with Cooke, whom she is now separated from. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Batula showed gratitude toward Miller for being there amid turbulence in her marriage — also shouting out Wilson in the same breath.

While Miller and Madix’s situations are different, the two women have continued to be supportive of one another, subtly addressing the similarity in their respective reality scandals with a joint Sonic Frozen Refreshers campaign on Thursday.

The Love Island USA host spoke with Marie Claire tied to the campaign, and when asked if she’d given Miller “any post-Scandoval advice,” she said she had none for the Summer House star.

“We’ve chatted a little bit. Honestly, Ciara does not need my advice,” Madix said. “I feel like she’s at such a great time in her life in general. You see her on carpets interviewing people, and doing so well. I think that she’s in such a great place in her career that she’s so above and beyond any advice I would be able to give her.”
