Jesse Solomon certainly created drama for his sophomore season, as Paige DeSorbo previously implied. It’s clear now that his flirtation with Ciara Miller while actively pursuing Summer House newbie Lexi Wood made for a tense situation in the house. But Kyle Cooke would put stock into Ciara and Jesse’s potential together.
And in the months after filming for Season 9 wrapped, Paige broke up with her boyfriend of three years, Craig Conover. Jesse teased some interest in his Summer House costar. And a certain percentage of fans were enthusiastic about that particular pairing. However, the Loverboy founder would sooner see the financial professional with Ciara.
Summer House’s Kyle Cooke thinks Jesse Solomon and Ciara Miller could work together
“Once you film with someone, I feel like that might complicate a relationship. It’s just a very unique environment. but I’d ship it,” Kyle told Us Weekly. “I think a lot of people would ship Jesse and Ciara. I’d probably ship Jesse and Ciara more than Jesse and Paige.”
He continued, “Watching it back, I was with the rest of the audience. I was like, ‘Oh d*mn.’ I was in my own little world at that party, DJing and running around in a shark costume. So I didn’t really pick up on the sexual tension, but I was like, ‘OK!’ I think Paige pretty much summed it up.'”
On the recent episode of Summer House, Jesse’s antics while Lexi was at her grandmother’s bedside in Canada come to light. That includes the heavy flirtation with Ciara that was so palpable, that Paige said you could “cut the sexual tension.” But also having one participant of Imrul Hassan’s threesome suck on his toes.
“We called it ToeGate last summer,” Kyle joked. “It’s one of those things where we were just like, ‘Can we just please move on from ToeGate?’ So yes, there’s gonna be plenty of ToeGate coming up.”
It will be interesting to see how Lexi’s response will affect Jesse and Ciara’s flirting. Will he continue pursuing the Summer House veteran? And are there any hints, in real-time, that would indicate that Ciara and Jesse have moved past just flirting?
