While you'll have to wait a little longer to see what happened during the Summer House Season 9 reunion (which was recently filmed in NYC), we have some behind-the-scenes reveals from two cast members to hold you over until then. As previously teased, both Paige DeSorbo and Amanda Batula got the coveted spots of first seat next to reunion host Andy Cohen on the couches (more on that below), but we spoke to the twosome before they hit the stage to spill all about an emotional season.
BravoTV.com spoke exclusively to Paige and Amanda while they were in glam, and they shared how they were really feeling about having to reflect on everything that went down in Season 9.
"I feel phenomenal," Paige shared while in hair and makeup. "I'm beta-blockered up. I'm locked in. I'm dialed in. I'm ready."
Amanda, also in the middle of getting glammed up for the big event, added she was feeling "glorious. I'm just happy to be here."
How Amanda Batula and Paige DeSorbo prepped for the Summer House Season 9 reunion
So, how did Amanda and Paige get ready for the Season 9 reunion? Well, with some "sleep," according to Amanda. Paige had a longer pre-reunion to-do list.
"We do a lot of beauty routines and we hold our children so close and tight," Paige added, referring to each cast member's respective pets (Amanda has two dogs). "I wanted to bring [my cat] Daphne, but I felt like I was going to get yelled at."
Details on the Summer House Season 9 reunion seating chart
Per an exclusive photo of the Summer House Season 9 seating chart, we can see that Andy is, of course, at the center of the stage. To Andy's right side are Paige, Ciara, Carl, Lexi, and Gabby. To Andy's left sit Amanda, Kyle, Lindsay, Jesse, West, and Imrul.
On Instagram, Amanda reacted to her position at the reunion, writing in the comments, “I too was shocked by this seating chart."
Previously, Paige confirmed that Daphne was not present at the reunion taping itself, but was still very much engaged in her human mom's big day. “Miss [Daphne] didn’t attend the reunion,” Paige captioned a photo of her feline, adding, “But she was invested in the glam.”
