From Mamma Mia, welcome to The Spill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm Laura Brodnick. And I'm Tina Provis. And coming up on the show today, Tina, you're here on a very buzzy day. Yes. Because we have a viral video of one of the hottest stars in the world, Hudson Williams, from Heated Rivalry. It has divided the internet, divided the world. Some people are upset. Some people think it's funny. Some people think he looks hot. That's true, too. We're going to get into that because it says a lot about how new celebrities are being treated. Plus, there is so much to say about Ariana Grande. She has got a new boy, well, a new old boyfriend.
She's running it back.
Yeah, exactly. She's lost a job. She's got a new boyfriend. That's all happening against the backdrop of something more serious. So we're going to get into that. But first, something I know you love to talk about.
Yeah, I feel like I'm becoming an ambassador for this.
Yeah. I feel like, remember when this huge scandal was unfolding a few months ago? So we're talking about Summer House, the big Bravo show in the US, which also obviously has a huge fandom here in Australia, blew up into the biggest reality TV scandal of the year. And you were here like every day.
I got an education. You did? I really got up to speed on that. And I've still had to, I keep having to look up who's who in the zoo.
Oh, yeah. Of the law. Well, we have a new big update. Again, so funny that I don't really watch reality TV, but over a year ago I secretly started watching this show and all of a sudden it blew up and I had to out my herself.
Yeah.
A Summer House fan. And I also remember the first day the scandal broke and it was so crazy and I was trying to explain to you and I started like hyperventilating.
Yes, there was a lot going on. I couldn't keep up, but I did nod along very enthusiastically.
It was just so, so intense.
What headlines open the episode and set the pop culture agenda?
So again, for anyone who is not across, but I don't know how you would be because it became such big news. It was covered like all over TikTok, but also like in the New York Times. Like it had a breadth of coverage. Yeah. So Summer House season 10 ended this year, and the main married couple who'd been on it for season one, Kyle Cook and Amanda Batula, we found out after the show had aired that they were divorcing. There was also another duo in the house, Wes Wilson and Sierra Miller, who had had this very intense on and off romance relationship situation. They weren't together, but they were sort of like... The lure of them was very strong. And then these rumors started that Wes Wilson and Amanda Batula were dating.
And everyone was like, surely not. That's a crazy rumor for her to be dating this like larrikin guy in the house who she never had like a relationship with. Plus she was best friends with Sierra like in the house for many years. And Sierra had supported her through her divorce to the point where she was like, I will come and pick you up. I will pack up your stuff. I will drive you out of that man's house and you can stay on my couch until you get your life together. Like that's the level of friends they were. Crazy. And so it came out that they were officially together. They released a bonkers joint statement. They then had the Summer House reunion, which aired over three episodes. It's usually only two, but there was so much to say.
