Carl Radke is keeping the summer vibes alive—even if “Summer House” season 10 is missing one of its most fashionable stars. With Paige DeSorbo stepping back from the Bravo series after seven seasons, Radke opened up about how her absence is being felt in the house—and whether there’s still a chance fans might see her make an appearance.
Carl Radke Says He’s ‘Sad’ to Lose Paige DeSorbo—but Hints She Might Still Show Up
In an interview with E! News at the Samsung Galaxy “We Run on Rest” event in New York City, Radke shared how the cast is adjusting without DeSorbo and what viewers can expect from the new dynamic this season.
DeSorbo announced her departure from “Summer House” in June, writing on Instagram, “You’ve seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I’ll always be grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
While fans mourn the loss of her dry humor and sharp fashion sense, Radke is right there with them.
“Her hotness and her fashion is definitely a tough one to lose,” he said. “I’m gonna miss her witty comments and her funny banter because she’s so funny. I’m sad I don’t get to hang out with her all summer, because that was kind of the only chance we did get to hang out with her.”
Still, the door to a DeSorbo cameo isn’t completely shut. “The ask has been put out,” Radke teased. “I was like, ‘You got to come take a visit.’ Amanda [Batula] and Ciara [Miller] are trying to get her, but she was in Italy and doing some other stuff. So, we’ll see. Fingers crossed.”
New Faces, More Guys, and a Whole Lot of Energy in ‘Summer House’ Season 10
Even without DeSorbo, Radke promises the girl gang will continue to shine. “Amanda, Paige and Ciara had such a strong bed bugs vibe,” he joked, “but you’ll see, as Paige is not there, it’s allowing Amanda and Ciara to also flourish in a different way.”
And it’s not just the girls who are stepping into new roles. According to Radke, season 10 introduces a wave of new male cast members, turning up the testosterone levels in the Hamptons.
“We’ve got a new guy from Australia, we’ve got another new guy who’s friends with West [Wilson],” he said. “It’s actually so much male energy that I think some of the girls are annoyed at this point.”
Radke’s even bonded with one of the new housemates through marathon training. “He’s new, so I’m kind of holding—not literally holding his hand—but giving him some words of encouragement,” he said. “It’s been a cool bond.”
In addition to filming, Radke has been working with Samsung Health and Galaxy Wearables to train for the New York City Marathon. He credits the routine for boosting his mental health during sobriety. “If you would have told me 10 years ago Carl would be running a New York City marathon I would have said, ‘You’re (expletive) nuts.’ But it’s been a good journey so far.”
