Carl Radke Reveals the ‘Summer House' Reunion ‘Wheels Came Off' in '2 Minutes'

In a not-so-surprising revelation, Carl Radke revealed that the Summer House Season 10 reunion imploded pretty quickly.

"I was hoping going into it that we could maybe set a higher standard for ourselves," Carl said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. "But I feel [laughter] like the wheels came off really, like within two minutes."

WWHL and reunion host Andy Cohen shared that the last time he hosted a reunion of that magnitude was the Vanderpump Rules Scandoval reunion. "There was so much there. It was so intense," he said.

"It was incredibly emotional," Carl said. "I think we were learning things in real time, which also was very hard for a lot of us to digest. I think there's real hurt, there's real disappointment, there's real lies that we're a real family and it just was uncomfortable."

The reunion, which promises to be the most intense in the series' history, will dive into events that unfolded after season 10 ended. West Wilson, who seemingly rekindled both his friendship and possible romance with Ciara Miller, began dating Amanda Batula following her separation from husband Kyle Cooke. Throughout the breakdown of Amanda's marriage, Ciara remained one of her most steadfast supporters, while Amanda was seen on the show rooting for Ciara and West's rekindled relationship to succeed.

Gesturing to Andy, Carl added, "And I think you nailed it when you walked out of the studio. You're like, 'That was chaotic. It was intense.' But I do think that there was maybe some slight progress because we got it all out. I think, yeah. I mean, it was nuts."

Andy confirmed that Ciara "got it all out" at the reunion, adding that these reunions give cast members "the chance to confront these people in that way."

"It's part of what we do here, and I think it's really important. But I think it's what's allowed our show to work through some of this crazy stuff," Carl added, reflecting on the last few reunions, which heavily focused on his broken engagement to Lindsay Hubbard.

"I look at me and Lindsay, you know, three years ago we were sitting next to you in the reunion. It was not great either," Carl recalled. "So, I think we're now in a place where hopefully we can work through stuff and set an example like friends could ...well, we'll see."

Summer House is on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
