“Summer House Rules,” the tenth episode of Vanderpump Rules’ fifth season, acted as a cross-over preview for Summer House.
During the two-hour episode’s changeover, Kristen Doute, Katie Maloney, Stassi Schroeder, and Scheana traveled to New York to visit the cast at the summer home. After the Vanderpump Rules cast left New York, the Summer House cast was the main focus of the second half.
In Season 1 of Summer House, single Kyle Cooke outlined several ground rules for the group at the event’s start. One of those regulations prohibited couples from entering the summer cottage. By bringing Everett Weston, her boyfriend at the time, Lindsay Hubbard violated the regulations. Everett got along well with the other members of the group.
This group of friends has been spending the summers in Montauk with various people over the years. Still, this year they have put together the ideal group to share a rental for an unforgettable summer full of drama, wild brunches, thrilling beachfront adventures, rosé parties, charity galas, bonfires, and jaw-dropping hookups.
