There are Bravo breakups that hurt, and then there’s Paige DeSorbo leaving Summer House. This isn’t just a cast change. It’s the end of an era. For years, Paige brought the fashion, the flawless confessionals, and the kind of reality TV intuition you can’t teach. So when news broke that she’s officially exiting the Hamptons mansion, my Bravo-loving heart cracked like a Loverboy can on Kyle Cooke’s forehead. Yes, I’m being dramatic. But so was every outfit Paige ever wore to a themed party and that’s the standard she set. Let’s look at why Paige’s leaving is more than just a cast shake-up. It’s a spiritual loss for the Bravoverse.
Paige DeSorbo is leaving Summer House
After Paige confirmed the news, fans were stunned. And while we’ve all seen cast turnover before, this one feels different. Paige was still in her prime. She wasn’t fading into the background or phoning it in. She was still giving us confessions with razor-sharp sarcasm, full glam in a pizza-stained kitchen, and just enough relationship drama to keep Reddit threads alive. Her departure announcement didn’t come with fanfare or a dramatic exit scene. She took to Instagram, writing, “I have a little life update for you: I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House. Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles. All unforgettable.”
She added, “You’ve seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I’ll always be beyond 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.” She concluded, “To my castmates, the fans, and my NBCU family: thank you. I never could’ve imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be along for the ride. And you haven’t seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.”
Paige DeSorbo was a Summer House staple
Listen, Summer House has had its fair share of cast rotations. But Paige was never one of those filler friends who quietly disappeared after two episodes. She was a cornerstone — a pantry-kissing, eye-rolling, naptime icon who gave the show its edge. When Paige first arrived, she instantly clicked with Amanda Batula, creating a bestie bond that basically carried half the season. And while some cast members were busy trying not to grow up or playing relationship ping-pong, Paige was always in the corner sipping wine and delivering commentary that deserved its own confessional cam.
She wasn’t just funny. She was smart and funny. The kind of Bravo personality who knew when to stir the pot and when to quietly let someone else dig their own grave. She had timing, taste, and a total unwillingness to get in the pool if her makeup was done. For viewers, she was a relatable queen. From her evolving relationship with Craig Conover to her honest breakdown over her anxiety, Paige gave us everything. And now? She’s leaving a well-dressed void that no one else can fill.
Should Summer House face a reboot with Paige leaving?
Paige’s exit raises a very real question. Can Summer House survive without her? Or is it time to Marie Kondo the whole cast and start fresh? Let’s face it, Summer House Season 10 already felt a little transitional. The OGs like Lindsay Hubbard are aging out of the party lifestyle, the romances are getting weirdly serious, and the newcomers haven’t all stuck the landing. With Paige gone, the show risks losing the spark that made it binge-worthy in the first place.
Bravo has never been afraid to reboot (hi, RHONY), and maybe Summer House needs that kind of shake-up. New house, new cast, new drama. Because with Paige walking out the door, it’s hard not to wonder if the soul of the show is walking out with her. I also worry that Ciara Miller would be lost without her now. There’s always a chance Paige pops in for a weekend visit but I highly doubt it. She’s moving on to bigger things. And you can’t replace someone who made sarcasm a storyline.
Summer House is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
