Summer House<\/a><\/p>\n Full House<\/p>\n \n Season 10<\/p>\n Episode 15\n <\/p>\n \n Editor\u2019s Rating<\/p>\n 3 stars<\/p>\n ***\n <\/p>\n \n We finally see the fight between Kyle and Carl that we\u2019ve been waiting for all season. We were tricked! The past three seasons of Summer House have been 15 episodes, and here I thought this was going to be the season finale. Wrong! It was like thinking that the door to the titular Summer House had been fixed for weeks and now, once again, it\u2019s jammed beyond repair. Just when you think you\u2019re safe. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because I went in thinking that we were going to get a lot more closure, but I was a bit disappointed by this episode. Not only was it the saddest of the season, but it was also a bit of an anticlimax.<\/p>\n Speaking of let-downs, what about that fight? Based on the trailer and what happened last week, I thought it was going to be, I don\u2019t know, punchier. West talked before the season aired about how he had blood all over him. Where was the blood? Where were the actual fisticuffs? It was still pretty bad, but it\u2019s sort of like being invited to an all-you-can-eat buffet, and when you arrive, it\u2019s two slices of American cheese in a Styrofoam container like the sad lunch at the Fyre Festival.<\/p>\n Where it left off last episode, Kyle was in the front yard yelling at Carl, and Carl shoots back immediately, \u201cThanks for your lack of support of me, you fucking loser. Go focus on yourself for once.\u201d I mean, he\u2019s not wrong. Carl is shouting for Kyle to hit him, and Kyle\u2019s being held back by West\u2019s pinky because he knows that if he tried to hit that \u201cSix-five motherfucker\u201d Carl would just palm Kyle\u2019s head like a basketball and keep him away from him while he flails wildly in the driveway. Carl is wooed back into the house by Lindsay, of all people. Lindsay is telling him to calm down, take a deep breath, and chill out. Nature really is healing.<\/p>\n Outside, Kyle is still raging at Carl. Amanda tries to physically cover his mouth so that he doesn\u2019t say any more things about Carl that he\u2019s going to regret. This is the most intimate they have been all summer. Kyle, of course, won\u2019t listen, and Amanda threatens to punch him in the face herself. Then Carl escapes Lindsay, goes back in the front yard, and shouts, \u201cKyle, I will beat the fuck out of you.\u201d<\/p>\n Kyle responds: \u201cCarl, stop being such a Vagasil.\u201d Not Vagasil. As Tina Turner sang, what does Vagasil have to do, have to do with it? Is Kyle just invoking the name of vaginal itching relief cream so that he doesn\u2019t call him a part of the female genitalia? You know that Lindsay sidled up to him after that comment and whispered in his ear, \u201cYou can monetize that. I can get us a partnership.\u201d Carl returns inside, and Kyle still rages at Carl, saying he\u2019s sick of being everyone\u2019s target and that Carl has been talking shit about him all summer. West says it\u2019s not true; he hasn\u2019t. West tells Kyle that he\u2019s mad at Lindsay for stirring things up with him and Amanda, and that is just bringing out his anger with Carl and Amanda.<\/p>\n Cut to Lindsay inside saying, \u201cI feel bad because I feel like I instigated it, and I didn\u2019t mean to. But I\u2019m going to make it better. I have Tiffany from Vagasil on the line, and she\u2019s going to pay us $20,000 when this fight airs if we all do a sponsored post.\u201d Amanda then says what we intuited last week, that she didn\u2019t defend Kyle or say anything because she agreed with everything Lindsay had to say. Meanwhile, Bailey is out back trying to talk to Carl and has never been more turned on than when he threatened another man\u2019s safety. Same, Bailey. We\u2019re all fucked up, masculinity is toxic, we should all just become lesbians. See you at the Morgan Wade<\/a> concert.<\/p>\n Once everyone is inside and calms down, Kyle goes up to Carl\u2019s room, they hug it out, tell each other sorry, Kyle dampens Carl\u2019s lower sleeve with his tears, and it\u2019s over. It\u2019s all over. They\u2019re joking about how they both didn\u2019t want their fight to scratch Kyle\u2019s latest BMW. This is why there are no reality shows just about boys. It would be a stupid fight, an insult about Summer\u2019s Eve, and then bro hugs all around from now until eternity. Meanwhile, Amanda said something bitchy about one of Lindsay\u2019s outfits in season one, and neither of them is over it.<\/p>\n The biggest thing that struck me about this fight is that everyone in the house, almost to a person, told Kyle that he can\u2019t talk to Amanda the way he does. West says it, Jesse says it, Lindsay says it, and even Carl says it as he\u2019s forgiving Kyle. However, it doesn\u2019t seem to be a point he acknowledges; it\u2019s not something that is making its way through. The whole episode, Kyle is a pendulum swinging between anger and sadness, between lashing out and injuring Amanda, and looking to be the victim. When he\u2019s talking to Lindsay, he says, \u201cWell, no sex for seven years and no attention and no friendship and no partnership will probably wear someone down.\u201d Seven years? Seven. No wonder he\u2019s so pent up. He tells Carl that he doesn\u2019t think Amanda wants anything to do with him, that she\u2019s never excited to see him. He thinks she loves it when he DJs because he\u2019s gone. There\u2019s no excuse for a lot of Kyle\u2019s behavior, but he\u2019s palpably hurt.<\/p>\n Even when he\u2019s alone and monologuing, we see this emotional whiplash in effect in one sentence. \u201cI don\u2019t think she wants a single thing to do with me, and she\u2019s too scared to get out of it because she can\u2019t do a single thing herself,\u201d he says, looking for pity, being hurt, and then coming for Amanda\u2019s character in fewer words than it would take you to explain the premise of Euphoria<\/a>.<\/p>\n
