Probably the most pivotal moments within the Season 2 premiere must be when Summer time addressed Alex neglecting to ask her and Jordan to his occasion and within the course of let the entire home know that Alex had been “inside” her. Regardless of their historical past, Summer time assured us that once we see her give Noelle her blessing to pursue Alex, it was finished genuinely.
“I used to be by no means checking for Alex like, that as a result of I by no means wished that kind of dedication with him,” Summer time advised GlobalGrind. “The evening earlier than or the day earlier than we come into the home, which you gained’t see, however Noelle and I went purchasing and I used to be giving her the lowdown on all people in the home and I used to be like, ‘We’ve frolicked, however there’s nothing there, so if you wish to pursue that please [do]. Who’s to say that — as a result of we’re adults, we do grownup issues — I don’t need that to get in the best way of what may very well be. He may very well be the love of your life. That’s not the individual for me, so I’m sufficiently big to not stand in the best way. Simply because we’ve engaged in actions, doesn’t imply that he’s mine perpetually.”
And as for the “inside me” remark?
“You recognize the drinks have been undoubtedly hitting within the humidity,” Summer time joked. “I blame — you realize, it was quite a bit.”
However again to Noelle and Alex, Summer time completed by clarifying she’s seeing Noelle’s roommate and actually doesn’t care if Noelle and Alex select to attach.
“I used to be similar to, ‘You guys may very well be joyful collectively and past something, that’s a pal.’ I simply don’t care and I’m now not seeing him I’m seeing Noelle’s roommate, so it’s like, why does it even matter anymore? To me? I don’t care. It’s so fascinating as a result of some girls dislike the girl that comes earlier than them… However I’m like, if I’m getting the sort of this man proper now, I’ve to thank the girl that got here earlier than me, as a result of they put within the work to provide me this man that I’ve now, so I’m so like ‘No matter!

We additionally needed to ask Summer time if she felt any type of manner about Nick telling Alex she’d despatched a photograph of him to Jordan. Within the first episode Alex makes it clear he thought it was pink flag habits that Summer time was letting people of their pal group know they have been having one on one time in Los Angeles collectively between the primary and second season.
“That’s the purpose of getting your man associates and your girlfriends,” Summer time mentioned, revealing she had no exhausting emotions towards Nick. “I despatched an image to my girlfriend, that’s completely superb. That’s what you do. It’s not like I posted it on social media, that will have been a bizarre factor. Like, ‘Look who came over me.’ I mentioned this to my girlfriend. We’re all associates. Nick, Jordan and Preston are very shut, so I felt no manner about it, and Nick is certainly one of Alex’s good associates. We’re all associates, it’s not that large of a deal.”
We needed to ask Summer time if she thought Alex was searching for a purpose to move for the hills, however she assured GlobalGrind they have been all the time each on the identical web page about protecting issues informal.
“There was by no means a time the place I might textual content Alex and be like, ‘Hey what are we?’ Or ‘What are we doing?’ Or something like that,” Summer time clarified. “I used to be by no means checking for Alex until we have been in the identical neighborhood. If it was handy. As a result of I used to be relationship somebody significantly in LA and since I used to be seeing different individuals, I used to be not making an attempt to have him blow up my spot both. I don’t know if his previous conditions have precipitated him to need to set that normal in the beginning, however once we talked about it I used to be like, ‘I don’t know why you’re even bringing this to me as a result of I’m not checking for you want that.’ In his protection I believe he additionally was simply making an attempt to be sincere and to not set expectations, which I appreciated as effectively, however I used to be like, ‘Don’t fear we’re actually on the identical web page.’
So there you could have it — and Summer time assured us that as tense as issues acquired between her and Alex on the primary episode, there are calmer waters forward because the season progresses.
“Once you’re in a home collectively, you’re usually compelled to see one another and we nonetheless are associates on the finish of the day and I don’t need to see anyone in the home do unhealthy, so we do come to a greater relationship all through the method.”
Hear — now we have our popcorn prepared and we’re tuned in to see how that is all about to go down.
