Amanda Batula is great to leave when the show becomes younger

The most recent ninth season of “Summer House” led some major changes, from the pregnancy of Lindsay Hubbard to the relationship of Paige Desorbo with Craig Conover, and her final departure of the show. According to Ster Amanda Batula, there could be more changes, and she would like that.

“I am not using the reality television, but we will see what the future of ‘Summer House’ has in store,” said Batula during the Business of Reality panel about the Samsung advertisements floating in Cannes Lions on Tuesday, that was moderated by Variety‘S Co-editor-in-chef Ramin Setoodeh.

Batula said that the composition of the show could certainly change, after fans noticed that season 9 showed a larger gorge between the original cast members who were located more in their lives and the newer additions, who wanted to drink in the Hamptons weekend. For now, Batula, her husband, Kyle Cooke, Carl Radke, Ciara Robinson and even Hubbard will return for the 10th season of the show when production starts soon.

But season 10 is perhaps that core group of the last hurray of veterans. “I think ‘Summer House’ in particular can go in two ways,” she said. “It can evolve with the current cast, or we can separate a little,” the Vallei style. I have no control over that. I don’t know how long I will be asked. I think it just depends on which direction ‘Summer House’ is going. You hear a lot talking about wanting a younger group of people.

All for sure? Batula joked that Cooke, who was in the audience, plans to stay in the show forever.

“I always jokes that Kyle is buried in the show,” she said laughing. “His funeral will be broadcast even if they have to revive it. Kyle will have his funeral on ‘Summer House’.

In another part of the conversation, Batula said that she is grateful that her candid discussions about ‘Summer House’ about her struggle with depression had an impact on fans of the show.

“I shared this trip a year and a half ago, and to this day I will open my DMs, and I have messages from people who thank me for the fact that I am so open and vulnerable, share their stories with me and told me how I changed their lives, how they went to a doctor,” she said. “They told someone that they had a hard time. They try medication. They see a therapist. They go back on medicines. Every day I get to thank people for opening something that I was not ashamed of, and I think that is so incredible, and it just pushes me to be open and honest and vulnerable.”

“Summer House” has just finished broadcasting his ninth season.
