Episode six of Summer House season 8 was released on Bravo on Thursday, March 28, 2024. Titled Start Your Engines, the episode saw Kyle Cooke advising Lindsay Hubbard to give her and Carl Radke's relationship some time. He also believed that his best friend, Radke had developed "tunnel vision" about getting married to Lindsay. Cooke stated that Carl was so fixated on the marriage that he couldn't see the issues arising between himself and Lindsay.
Stating that he knew Carl loved Lindsay, Kyle said the former wanted the relationship to work and suggested that they try and work through the issues.
“What I'm saying is, I know he loves you. He wants this so bad, and what I want you guys to do is try to work through some of this stuff," the Summer House star said.
The previous episode of Summer House saw Lindsay speaking about the intimacy issues she was having with Carl. After venting about the problems to the ladies, she had the conversation with co-star Kyle Cooke.
The show's fans knew that Lindsay and Carl ended their relationship in September 2023 but they had been engaged when season 8 was filmed. The current season documents the rising tensions between Lindsay and Carl, chronicling the events that will eventually lead to their separation on camera.
Summer House star Kyle feels Carl is fixated on marriage
The latest episode of Summer House aired on Thursday, March 28, 2024. Titled Start Your Engines, the episodes showed Kyle and Lindsay having a conversation about the latter's issues with her then-fiancé Carl. Although Lindsay and Carl had been in a relationship during the filming of season 8, they ended their relationship in September 2023.
During his conversation with Lindsay, Kyle said that he believed that his friend was in a "tunnel-vision mode." Kyle added that Carl was so fixated on getting married to Lindsay that he overlooked some serious issues arising between them. Kyle added that he empathized with Lindsay and Carl's situation as they were both dear to him.
Cooke, the founder of Loverboy Inc. said that as a friend to both of them, he could "hear the pain" in their voices.
“My two cents, from (Carl's) perspective, look, ever since I got serious with Amanda (Kyle’s wife), he's wanted a relationship. He's told me that, for years. And, right now, he's in tunnel-vision mode, like, 'This wedding's happening'," Kyle added.
As he shared his perspective on Lindsay and Carl's relationship issues, Kyle highlighted that his best friend was adamant about pushing the marriage. According to him, Carl had been ignoring some red flags as he wanted to get married to Lindsay.
The Summer House star added that Carl was "so committed to seeing" the marriage through that he was pushing "through some red flags."
“Not even the red flags, some of the hardships," Kyle noted.
Taken aback by the revelation, Lindsay insisted Kyle offer some more clarification to her. She double-checked if the Loverboy founder implied that her then-fiancé wanted marriage more than their actual relationship. To this, Kyle suggested that Lindsay and Carl needed to sort out some of their issues before diving into marriage.
“What I'm saying is, I know he loves you. He wants this so bad, and what I want you guys to do is try to work through some of this stuff," the Summer House star said.
Lindsay was overwhelmed when she heard Kyle’s reservations and broke down saying that she felt pressured into looking “happy” around him. She implied that she walked on eggshells in Carl’s presence and Kyle recognized that the formerly engaged couple had some serious talking to do.
"I just want you to know, I'm here for you and Carl,” the reality star said as he closed the conversation.
Kyle Cooke weighs in on Lindsay’s “blindsided” comment
During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Lindsay said that she spent a good summer with Carl Radke. However, she added that she felt “blindsided” when the latter called off their engagement. Kyle Cooke took objection to her comment on Summer House After Show highlighting how the exes consistently fought with each other.
As he considered that Lindsay might not appreciate his reaction, Kyle felt that Lindsay was "often times living in a different reality."
“Claiming you were blindsided, claiming you had a great summer, claiming you guys were in a good place. And it just kinda confirms that she's often times living in a different reality,” he said.
Summer House season 8 releases new episodes every Thursday, exclusively on Bravo.
