Bravo's Summer House episode 4 showed viewers how unprepared Kyle Cooke was for Amanda Batula's 30th birthday. Fans were disappointed with Kyle for forgetting to bring Amanda a birthday present. The girls in the house tried booking a trip for the couple, but that was also canceled because Kyle had issues with his passport.
A preview of the next episode of Summer House also showed no promise, with Kyle and Amanda having yet another argument. Episode 5 confirmed fans' assumptions about Kyle's lack of preparation for his wife's birthday. Kyle did try several things for Amanda's birthday, but none of those gestures hit well with either Amanda or the fans.
Summer House star Kyle Cooke's failed attempts at celebrating Amanda Batula's birthday
With Kyle forgetting to bring a birthday present for Amanda, things only got worse between the couple. The next morning at Summer House, Paige Desorbo and Ciara Miller talked about Kyle not getting a birthday gift for Amanda.
Ciara said:
"Last night I'm like, 'Kyle, you need to prioritize this.' I could list, like 27 things that would be a great gift for Amanda. She's a saint to that man."
Kyle, in a confessional, revealed he felt guilty and how he still didn't have anything to give her. But he wanted to try his best to make it up to her. He started by giving her morning coffee and decided he would take her out on a dinner date.
Kyle got her flowers, but that gesture, too, was scrutinized. Amanda was disappointed with Kyle's lack of effort. She said:
"I don't always expect a lot from Kyle, but also like it's my 30th birthday. If Kyle bought me that pogo stick that Lindsay got--I would've been like 'let's go to the bedroom right now.' I just want it to feel like he cares about me."
During the dinner date, the duo discussed how long it had been since they went out on a date. Kyle confessed he wasn't able to spend much time with Amanda.
"Obviously, I do feel like I've dropped the ball on making time for us. There's no clear line between, like, work and our relationship."
Amanda confessed they had been discussing the same in therapy and would really like Kyle to try. She also asked him when was the last time he had brought her a gift, to which Kyle had no answer.
When Amanda revealed she wanted a dog as they had fostered one earlier, Kyle said:
"I know you really really want a dog because I can't make you happy myself."
Amanda ended up getting frustrated at the conversation. She revealed that Kyle's family were not big gift givers, but she only cared about the effort.
Fans were surprised at the couple's decision to get married after all that happened
Summer House fans were surprised at the couple's decision to get married this season despite all the fights.
Some fans felt that Kyle's efforts were not enough in the couple's relationship.
Summer House airs every Monday at 9.00 pm ET on Bravo.
