Although Summer House Season 10 newbie Ben Waddell already knew Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke when he joined the Hamptons crew, fellow newbie Bailey Taylor accuses him of wanting more with Amanda during the above preview of Episode 6, airing Tuesday, March 10.
Bailey’s comment comes as the group celebrates Amanda’s birthday by each sharing one “nice thing” about her. While Jesse Solomon calls her “one of the funniest girls” he knows, West Wilson points out that she’s come “out of [her shell]” and “accomplished so many big things.” Newbie Mia Calabrese adds, “I think you’re just the coolest because you’re just comfortable being yourself. And that’s very rare.”
When it’s Ben’s turn, he begins, “I’m a big eyes and smile guy. So I love—“ But he’s then cut off by Bailey, who declares, “I was going to say, ‘Ben’s going to talk about how he wants to definitely sleep with you.’ Definitely knew he was going to go there.”
As Amanda is silently shocked, Kyle sips his martini with a smile on his face. Mia makes an awkward snort laugh, while West purses his lips together. Bailey smirks down the table at Ben as she waits for his reaction, but he just silently avoids Bailey’s gaze and stares straight ahead.

Amanda Batula reveals the unusual way she met Ben Waddell
During the Summer House Season 10 premiere, Amanda shed more light on exactly how she and Kyle became friends with Ben, and explained they met at her best friend’s wedding in Italy. But it turned out there was much more to the story.
“Well, how do I explain this?” she told producers. “We ended up — me, the bride, and Ben — skinny dipping in the pool, while Kyle was blasting his speaker, walking around the outside of the pool. We really got to know each other at that point, fully nude.”
“We had a good time,” Ben added in conversation with his housemates.

The model and entrepreneur — also known for his role on The Australian Bachelor — is “open to fun, flings, and perhaps even a ‘special visitor,’ as long as they’ve got confidence, spark, and a killer smile,” his BravoTV.com bio reads.
Although he and Lindsay Hubbard flirted at a singles mixer in Episode 4, Lindsay remained vague when asked if anything happened next.“I mean, no, not that night,” she told Andy Cohen as she and Ben were guests on Feb. 24’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
As it happens, Ben revealed that he’s currently off the market.
“I’m very happily in a relationship,” he added on WWHL. He also shared more about how he is as a boyfriend, including that he enjoys cuddling, prefers to take a “steamy shower” over a candlelit bubble bath, and “always notices the smile first” on a woman.
