Lisa Barlow dished out some solid dating advice to West Wilson after his romance with Ciara Miller imploded on “Summer House” Season 8.
“I gave him advice. I told him, ‘You have to be really selective.’ It’s easy to go out and hook up with a lot of people. I’m like, ‘You’ve got to be super selective,’” the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” while promoting her partnership with Clorox’s Clean Feels Good campaign.
Barlow, 50 — who recently got to know Wilson, 29, during a shoot for a Bravo-themed Wendy’s commercial — notes that it’s “cuter for a single man to be more selective” about who he dates, rather than maintaining a roster of casual hookup partners.
Though the Vida Tequila founder has a soft spot for Wilson, she admits that she stood behind Miller, 29, during the height of the model’s public strife with her former flame.

“I love Ciara so much that I did tell West that I did say, ‘F West,’ in a text [to Miller] when he was doing her dirty,” Barlow says.
In the current installment of “Summer House,” Wilson is keeping the details of his romantic interactions under wraps while living under the same roof as Miller. He notably swerved castmate Jesse Solomon’s question about a mysterious off-camera rendezvous in Wednesday’s episode.
Barlow, her part, thinks Wilson is right to do so.
“I love West. I love Ciara. I think he’s really cute … I think keep your hookups on the down-low,” she says. “Don’t rub them in anyone’s face and be selective.”

Wilson explained on “Summer House” that Miller branding him a “f–king loser” at a group dinner impacted his choice to stay mum about his interactions with women.
“Ciara just ripped my f–king head off, and so I’m just trying to keep — if it’s not peace in the house, it’s my own peace right now,” he said in a confessional. “I just ball up when things are uncomfortable. I’m not hiding secret wives or girlfriends.”
Wilson added, “It’s like, if I end up on a couch [with someone], like, I don’t need to put it on a projector and share what positions we did and what color her hair was.”
A spark ignited between Wilson and Miller in the summer of 2023 when he joined the cast, but they had a falling-out that December.

The pair addressed their drama during the Season 8 reunion, where Miller called out West for “playing a game” with her and ending their relationship for “show-related reasons.”
While chemistry appears to linger between the two in certain “Summer House” scenes, Barlow believes her pals should never get back together.
“I absolutely don’t think they should. I think West should stay on the trajectory he’s on and I think Ciara needs some finance guy that’s super smart, that can be a good dad … future-thinking for Ciara,” she tells us.
“And I think West is at a point in his life where he should be having fun, figuring out what he wants, who he is and I think he should just keep doing that. And I think she should date someone else. I think they’re both so cute individually and they’re maybe just not right for each other.”

The Bravolebrity says her mother’s affinity for the brand has inspired her lifelong love for its line of cleaning products.
When Barlow isn’t helping tidy up Wilson and Miller’s romantic turmoil, she loves mitigating real-life messes with Clorox.
“I only work with brands that I use and I believe in. My mom got me on Clorox. My mom was always like, ‘Clorox is the best,’” she recalls. “Even when we were little kids going on vacation, my mom, as soon as we would get off an airplane, my mom would always have us go to the store and get Clorox, and she would clean the showers in the hotel.”
Barlow elaborates, “I’ve always used Clorox and thought of it as the best cleaning product.”
