Lindsay Hubbard Says Carl Radke ‘Is Not Ambitious’ and that ‘Doesn’t Really Get My Juices Flowing’ as She Rates Their Sex Life a 2.5 tram

   

Summer House stars Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard

After opening up earlier in the season about a lull in her physical relationship with Carl Radke, Lindsay Hubbard and her then-fiancé finally had sex in the Thursday, April 11, episode of Summer House.

“I mean, we had sex today, but it was the first time in a couple weeks,” Lindsay, 37, told her housemates amid a game of Truth or Dare. “No one came.”

Accordingly, when visitor Andrea Denver asked her, Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller to rate their sex lives on a scale from 1 to 10, Lindsay gave hers with Carl, 39, a 2.5.

Lindsay explained to her housemates that Carl “gets so in his head” about performing during sex, so she suggested to him that they have sex more frequently so he wouldn’t be worried about disappointing her.

“I’ve always been patient with Carl,” Lindsay said in a confessional interview. “I just have like, I love this man so much. And I know that he wants to make me happy, but if someone is not ambitious and is matching my drive, that’s a little bit of an issue for me. Having to like, constantly light a fire for someone else is not that sexy and doesn’t really get my juices flowing.”

While Lindsay and Carl made it through the weekend without any fights, Amanda, 32, and her husband Kyle Cooke butted heads constantly after Kyle, 41, expressed that he didn’t want to move out of New York City and settle in New Jersey like Amanda wanted.

During a beach day with their costars, Amanda told Kyle she put him on her “s--- list.”

“You were out until 4 a.m., you were pissed that I called you out, so then you coped this whole attitude and started talking about all the other things you were mad about just because I’m mad at you about something legitimate,” she said to Kyle. “And you’re just like spewing bulls---, talking s--- about me.”

Kyle told his wife he wanted to improve their communication. “I can’t move to the suburbs if I’m having a one-way relationship with you,” he said.

Amanda thought that Kyle just didn’t like “when I have a stance on something.” But Kyle felt that him staying out 4 a.m. “once a month is not a reason to hate me.”

“I’m a very social person and it’s lonely as f--- being married to you because you don’t talk to me,” the Loverboy CEO and founder said.

Kyle later talked to housemate Paige DeSorbo about his marital issues and started tearing up.

“To be honest, it’s not even the digs,” he said. “I know this is going to sound ridiculous but last weekend I was like, the last one up and I ... her phone was on the sink and I open it up and there wasn't a single photo of me."

When Kyle and Amanda returned to New York City, they met with a relationship coach named Taryn. Kyle told Taryn he and Amanda had “lots of room for improvement” when it came to their communication, and he explained that he and Amanda work together after she quit her job to join his company.

Amanda said that Kyle asking her to constantly do more at work “makes me feel like I’m not good enough.” “I’m just always questioning myself and being indecisive,” the New Jersey native added.

Taryn said it seemed like their problems don’t “just have to do with the work that you share.” At that point, Kyle told Taryn about his “unfaithful moment” that “continues to haunt me.”

“There’s no reason to be out with like people you just met until 4:00 in the morning, stumbling home wasted,” Amanda said.

In a confessional interview, Amanda explained that she has “PTSD from that instant” five years ago when Kyle stayed out late and made out with another woman while blackout drunk. “It’s easier to just sum it up in ‘he cheated on me’ than to tell you a sob story of everything I’ve been through since,” she said.

In the midseason trailer that aired at the end of Thursday, April 11 episode, Amanda can be seen telling Kyle about her frustrations from working with Loverboy.

“I’ve been supporting you and your business for five years,” she says. “It’s time that I find something that gives me drive.”

“I also need your help,” Kyle responds.

Later in the trailer, Kyle storms out of the house after Paige, 31, tells him, "You're being really selfish."

“You guys have no f---ing idea what you’re talking about,” he says. “You make it sound like I work for f---ing fun.”

Tensions rise between Carl and Lindsay as well as their wedding nears, although fans know that the Syracuse University grad ended up calling off the engagement before the summer ended.

“You’re the victim, always,” Carl says to Lindsay in the preview. “It’s a lot, OK? It’s a f---ing lot.”

Lindsay responds, “You are asking me to be somebody who I am not.”

At the end of the midseason trailer, Kyle asks Carl if he wants to marry Lindsay, and Carl appears to contemplate it.
