Summer House fans have been waiting with bated breath for the reunion—expected to air May 26—as it is understood to be the first time the entire cast will be in the same room since Amanda and West announced on March 31 that their relationship had taken a turn for the romantic.

As for when the cast itself found out where’d they be seating for the hours-long taping, they normally don’t find out until they arrive to the studio. 

As Ciara explained to Glamour in an interview published April 17, “Even when you’re getting ready, you still don’t know. Not until a couple of minutes before you’re going to walk out on stage, and then they tell you.”

At the time, Ciara reflected on who she might like to sit next to (naming Mia, Lindsay, Carl or KJ), while also noting the significance of standing on her own two feet—metaphorically, at least.

“I’m not really thinking too much about the seating arrangement,” the 30-year-old said, “because I know that this is a moment for me to stand my own ground wherever I’m sitting.”

Another revelation as anticipated as the seating chart? The cast’s reunion day looks. 

At the time of her April interview, Ciara hadn’t landed on an outfit for the day, however the model was putting a lot of thought into how she’d be presenting herself. 

“I think what I pick out is going to be a statement of where I stand,” she said. “I feel like it’s going to represent who I am and how I’m feeling on that particular day.”

And while many Bravo fans have likened Ciara’s situation to that of Ariana Madix during Tom Sandoval and Rachel “Raquel” Leviss’ affair, Ciara isn’t planning to replicate the iconic red “revenge dress” Ariana wore to the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion.

“Going into this reunion, I have a different mindset,” she said. “I still don’t really think about a revenge look. I just think about what’s a proper representation of who I am right now.”

And if any fans need a refresh before the reunion on what exactly went down between Ciara, Amanda, Kyle and West over the last few years, read on.
