Summer House alum Paige DeSorbo addressed if she would ever go back to reality TV in the capacity of “Bravo” – and shared why. Paige left Summer House ahead of last season, and she’s gotten many opportunities since, including a scripted show on Netflix in collaboration with Amy Poehler.
During her stint on Summer House, Paige detailed her relationship with then-boyfriend Craig Conover, who she broke up with in late 2024. She also fought continuously with Lindsay Hubbard, though the former costars seem on good terms today.
On The Morgan Stewart Show, Paige addressed if she would ever return to reality TV.
“I think being off of reality TV — I never want to say never — but I don’t think I could ever go back in the capacity that Bravo films reality,” she said, via @Gabbingwithgib on Instagram.
“Do you know what I mean? It’s so hardcore,” she explained. “And like, obviously, I love Bravo. I love Andy [Cohen]. But I feel like once you’re out of it, it’s way harder to go back into it.”
In September of 2025, Paige shared more details on why she walked away from the show.
“I just had this overwhelming sense that I couldn’t go back,” she said in an interview with Byrdie at the time, via PEOPLE. “I know I would’ve been doing a disservice to [the show]. They accept a certain level of showing up, and I couldn’t give them that.”
“Being on reality TV, there’s a level — this is a harsh word — of, like, brainwashing,” she said. “That’s not real life. You’re not stopping people on the street and being like, ‘I just had a thought that I hate my boyfriend.’”
According to Paige, her best friend and podcast cohost Hannah Berner – who was also once on the show – encouraged her decision to walk away.
“There’s an element of thinking you need that show and network, and Hannah was reminding me they’re not in charge of where you are in your career,” she went on. “I am assimilating back into society. I’m like, what do people do on a Saturday night in the summer?”
