Let's Talk About (LOUD) Sex & Anxiety, Baby.
this week's episode of Summer House reminded me of my MTV roots & I was not mad.
So this week on Summer House Season 9, Episode 10, things get noisy — and I’m not talking about a theme party. New Housemate Imrul Hassan, a real estate agent and Bengali immigrant (who, by the way, was undocumented until he was 23 — put some respect on his name), brought someone home and apparently had the type of coitus you only read about in old Cosmo sex tips.
Now usually, this house is used to that kind of behavior — it’s a share house, let’s not act new. But suddenly Paige is having a Craig-and-work-induced anxiety spiral. Quick sidebar: Craig (her now ex) once made her watch a documentary about how “tours break up families”...starring ABBA. Yes. ABBA.
Anyway, I agree with Paige: Imrul should’ve kept it cute. Maybe slide a few pillows behind the headboard next time, respectfully. I literally had to clap my hands together three times to organize my thoughts and that alone should tell you the noise was OD.
But here’s the thing — to me, Paige isn’t mad at Imrul. She’s projecting. Miss Girl is overwhelmed. She’s working more than ever, Craig isn’t exactly giving emotionally supportive king, and while he’s dreaming of starting a family in Charleston, Paige just wants to curl up with her fluffy white cat Daphne in her NYC apartment. Different vibes entirely.
Let’s back it up for those new to the franchise: Paige and Craig met on Winter House. He’s a Southern Charm mainstay, she’s a Summer House queen.
They dated for three years, gave rich-snooty-couple-core, and broke up the day after Thanksgiving 2025. This summer, Paige is unraveling. Craig’s 36, giving “I want kids,” and Paige is like, “I want pillows and silence.”
So no — Paige wasn’t mad at Imrul. But the audience? Oh, they were big mad. And to that I say: be serious.
Did y’all not grow up watching Jersey Shore and The Real World? Were you not screaming at the smush room antics? I remember the scene where Deena took her whole bathing suit bottom off in front of Mike. Let’s not forget Lindsay (from earlier Summer House seasons) brought two guys home one summer and got dragged. Danielle’s had her moments too — and guess what? It all happened at the house.
Now let’s be honest: Imrul has shattered records this season when it comes to…visitors. His second set of guests? A full-blown threesome that eventually included his housemate Jesse Solomon via a surprise “toe suck.” (No, I will not elaborate further. Yes, I absolutely mean toe suck.)
Truthfully, Imrul’s only crime is being too damn loud. And yeah, bro, sometimes you gotta play an away game. There is no shame in catching an Uber for a late-night rail.
Imrul is simply following in the long, chaotic footsteps of his reality TV forefathers. Don’t act brand new.
My dearest readers, I need your voices! Was Imrul really out of pocket — or is the house (and the viewers) just not ready for a man who treats Summer House like it’s MTV in the 2010s?
