Summer House Shockwave: Paige DeSorbo Unpacks That West Wilson-Amanda Batula Love Triangle

When West Wilson first walked into the Hamptons house for this season of Summer House, there was an immediate buzz, and not just from the cameras. Naturally, sparks flew in a few directions, but it was his connection with Paige DeSorbo that initially caught everyone's eye – and Paige herself confirms, oh yes, they definitely had a thing going on. "We dated," she recently shared, not mincing words. "We were together. It was a whole situation." She’s pretty upfront about the fact that their romance wasn't just a fleeting moment, but something more substantial for a bit there, which, you know, makes everything that unfolded next all the more… well, complicated.

You see, while Paige and West were navigating their early flirtation and budding relationship, the dynamics in the house began to shift. It's funny, because sometimes you think you know where things are headed, and then suddenly, the universe, or in this case, a new cast member, throws a curveball. Paige admits she started noticing a subtle, yet undeniable, change in West's attention – it was slowly but surely drifting towards her best friend, Amanda Batula. "It was a very difficult situation," she confessed, and honestly, who could blame her for feeling that way? No one wants to see the person they're dating start to vibe with a close friend, especially not on national television.

This wasn't just an awkward moment; it evolved into a full-blown, uncomfortable entanglement for everyone involved. Paige describes the whole ordeal as "very awkward," a sentiment that probably resonates with anyone who's ever found themselves in a similar friendship-dating crossover. But here's the kicker: it wasn't just Paige who felt the sting. Amanda, bless her heart, was apparently "very upset" by the whole thing too. It seems West's signals were a little... mixed, leaving both women feeling a bit confused and certainly not in a great spot initially.

For Paige, however, there was never any real question about where her loyalties lay. Her friendship with Amanda isn't just a casual bond; it's a foundational pillar of her life, especially within the Hamptons house. "My friendship with Amanda means the world to me," she emphasized, making it crystal clear that no romantic entanglement, no matter how intense, would ever come between them. That's a true mark of a strong friendship, isn't it? Choosing your person over potential fleeting romance.

Looking back, Paige seems to have found a sense of perspective on the situation. To be fair, West was new to the group, still figuring out the lay of the land, both literally and emotionally. He was, as Paige put it, "still learning everyone," and perhaps navigating the complexities of reality TV dating for the first time. Sometimes, new people just don't quite understand the intricate web of friendships and history that already exists.

So, where do things stand now between Paige and West after all that Hamptons drama played out? Thankfully, it seems time and maturity have done their healing work. Paige confirms that she and West are "great" these days, suggesting they've moved past the initial awkwardness and landed in a more amicable place. It's a testament to the resilient nature of friendships and the ability to move forward, even after a truly messy and unforgettable Summer House season.
