Paige DeSorbo caused a stir in the Bravo community with her recent revelation that she won’t be returning for Season 10 of Summer House. Fans had been anxiously anticipating this news, especially since DeSorbo’s career has blossomed outside the show. She hosts the highly popular Giggly Squad podcast with former co-star Hannah Berner and is launching a sleepwear line inspired by her time on the show. Despite mixed opinions about her, DeSorbo has become a significant figure, and Bravo simply can’t afford to let her go completely.

When DeSorbo joined Summer House in its third season, she was a fashion writer. Her sharp humor and knack for calling out nonsense quickly endeared her to fans. She developed close friendships with Berner and Amanda Batula, as well as Ciara Miller who joined in Season 5. Over seven seasons, viewers enjoyed DeSorbo’s humorous summers in the Hamptons, her cutting commentary (often directed at Kyle Cooke), and her cozy gossip sessions with friends.

Therefore, Bravo should find a way to keep DeSorbo involved. Attracting younger audiences is vital for reality TV success — as seen with Love Island USA’s boost after Ariana Madix became host in Season 6. DeSorbo’s loyal following, bolstered by her podcast’s sold-out tour across 70 cities, and her surprise appearance on Netflix’s Ginny and Georgia, demonstrate that her influence extends beyond Bravo. While she might not rely on Bravo, the network certainly benefits from her presence. Losing her entirely would be a misstep for Bravo and a letdown for devoted viewers.

So, what does DeSorbo’s future on Bravo look like? Andy Cohen said on an episode of The View last week that he thinks DeSorbo “will continue to evolve in front of Bravo cameras in one way or another,” though nothing has been confirmed yet. A spinoff series starring her, Miller, Batula, and Lindsay Hubbard has been widely discussed among fans, who seem more interested in watching the women navigate their lives in New York City than watching them party in the Hamptons every weekend. Hubbard is a mother now, after all, and her mended friendship with DeSorbo would make for a seamless transition into a spinoff.

Much like The Valley, which follows former Vanderpump Rules stars and their new group of grown-up friends, a Summer House spinoff that, say, actually allows DeSorbo to talk about her successful podcast could be exactly what Bravo needs to offer in order to keep her around. While fans were initially uncertain about The Valley, it ultimately proved to be one of the best shows on Bravo when it premiered last year. Imagine how popular a Summer House spinoff that fans have already been begging for would become!

DeSorbo is, without a doubt, a cultural icon — and if the future of the Summer House franchise is solely riding on Jesse Solomon and West Wilson, then Bravo needs to get some spinoff contracts out to the girls ASAP.

Until our prayers get answered, you can stream DeSorbo in Season 3 through Season 9 of Summer House on Peacock.
