Ciara Miller’s appearance in ‘Love Island: Aftersun’ sheds light on her ‘Summer House’ future.
‘Summer House’ shook the world early this year when the ‘Scamanda’ of it all was revealed to everyone. For those unaware, Amanda Batula and West Wilson shared on March 31 that they were together. This was a huge blow to Ciara Miller, who considered Batula one of her best friends and had been romantically involved with Wilson as recently as season ten. The drama played out in the three-part Reunion event and the Aftermath episode. It was evident that the whole situation left Ciara emotionally rattled. This led fans to speculate whether she would appear on the Bravo show’s next season. Ciara has now personally revealed her ‘Summer House’ fate in the ‘Aftersun’ finale.
Ciara has been hosting the ‘Love Island’ talk show on Peacock alongside Tefi Pessoa this year. Fans were excited to see their takes after the dating show’s penultimate episode. However, they were in for a surprise when Ciara joined the discussions virtually. The reality star revealed that she is back in New York to fulfill her Bravo commitments. “I have Summer House to shoot — Season 11. I gotta get back to the Hamptons,” she added. This implies that both ‘Aftersun’ and ‘Summer House’ made arrangements to accommodate Ciara in their shows. ‘Summer House’ typically begins shooting on July 4 of every year, but appears to have been delayed by a week to get Ciara in the premiere. ‘Aftersun’ arranged for Ciara to be virtually present in the finale, which allowed her to leave Fiji and still be part of the show.
It is not much of a surprise that the shows have been so accommodating of Ciara. She is by far the biggest breakout star of the year. ‘Summer House’ must be keen on getting her on board, especially considering that West and Amanda have bowed out from the upcoming season. The Bravo show’s season ten ratings were the highest in the series, a feat rare to achieve for a decade-old show. The scandal is the primary reason behind the uptick, and the show was likely keen to retain the one who turned the fan favorite because of it. Ciara has booked several lucrative gigs on the back of her newfound popularity, like ‘Dancing With The Stars‘ and more. Apart from Ciara, no other confirmations have been made for the upcoming season.
Along with Amanda and West, Ben Waddell will also supposedly not return for the upcoming season. The OGs Kyle Cooke, Carl Radke, and Lindsay Hubbard will apparently be a part of next season in some capacity. Reddit leaks suggest that Mia and KJ, who joined the show last season, are also back on board. Some newbies will also reportedly be in the mix. Kyle Cooke believes that Summer House has great things in its future, despite reaching what many consider its ‘peak’ in season ten. “I think [Summer House is] going to have, like I said, the potential for a whole new chapter, a whole new look and feel, and can avoid getting stuck in certain storylines,” he shared with The Hollywood Reporter.
