The Summer House Season 9 reunion kicked off on a surprising note… at least for Amanda Batula.
On Thursday, April 24, the Hamptons Housemates came together to discuss the ups and downs of the ongoing season and a few events that followed. In support of the upcoming special, Bravo unleashed the much-anticipated reunion seating chart, which left Amanda admittedly “shocked” — but perhaps in a good way.
Amanda Batula has thoughts on the Summer House reunion seating chart
According to the chart posted to Instagram, Amanda secured one of the two coveted first seats next to host Andy Cohen.
“I too was shocked by this seating chart,” Amanda wrote in the comments section.
Amanda, who was on Andy’s left side, sat next to her husband, Kyle Cooke, who was followed by Lindsay Hubbard, Jesse Solomon, West Wilson, and newbie Imrul Hassan. Paige DeSorbo landed the first seat on Andy’s right side, while Ciara Miller took the second left position. The ladies were followed by Carl Radke, newcomer Lexi Wood, and Gabby Prescod.

Carl and Andy also shared a few behind-the-scenes looks at the reunion taping. The former snapped a photo of the men’s dressing room door, while the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host shared a photo of himself holding some question cards on set.
Shortly after filming wrapped, Jesse took to Instagram to provide a peek at the post-reunion get-together. The event went down at the Corner Bistro in NYC and included Carl, Kyle, West, and Andy.
“Corner Beasts,” Jesse captioned the photo.
Paige also touched on the reunion in an April 25 Story, which showed her adorable cat, Daphne, lounging behind dozens of makeup brushes.
“Miss [Daphne] didn’t attend the reunion,” Paige captioned the sweet photo, “but she was invested in the glam.”
The Hamptons Housemates predict who will be in the reunion "hot seat"
Weeks before the Season 9 reunion, the Hamptons Housemates shared their predictions for the special, theorizing who might be in the “hot seat.”
“I think we’ve said it before, but I think Jesse will find himself in the hot seat,” Kyle told The Daily Dish, before referring to Jesse and Lexi’s relationship drama. “I think for all we know, Lexi might. I mean, she kind of comes in hot. Their relationship was fire and ice.”
“I think that’s the one thing that ended with more questions than answers,” Amanda added. “When we ended the summer, there were more questions than answers about their relationship. So I feel like they’ll have probably the most to talk about and answer for.”
