Jesse Solomon is starting to wear on me. For a jovial dude, he is really bringing a bad vibe to Summer House this year. He has jumped headfirst into a flirtationship. And is already joking with the guys that he is no longer single. For some reason, I expected more from Jesse, but instead, it looks like he is following in Carl Radke’s and West Wilson’s footsteps. Instead of learning from their very public mistakes, I fear Jesse is going to replicate their actions.
Jesse Solomon is coming off as creepy
Instead of singing, “What would Jesse Solomon do?” the second-year roomie should have been asking what did Carl and West do? Jesse has found himself in a relationship, kind of. The new girl, Lexi Wood, has caught his eye and he is proper love struck. Jesse isn’t playing around. The man left her a drunk dial from inside the home. And he Facetimed her while with the boys to report his whereabouts. I’d say he was the most desperate guy on Bravo, but Shep Rose already has that title. The flirting has been at an all-time high, and I find myself cringing every time Jesse talks about his crush.
Jesse also has a weird way of showing that he likes Lexi. First, he makes an obscene joke about her last name, “Lexi give me Wood,” which I don’t even know why the model pretended that joke was funny. Then, at their first family dinner, he questions her education. He asked her if she felt she was a ditz and if she took the SATs or ACTs. Firstly, Jesse, Lexi is from Canada. Students from Canada don’t take the American College Testing (ACT) so I ask, who is the ditz now?
Jesse Solomon might be putting on an act
I just wish Jesse had thought before he let his words fly right out of his mouth. If insulting someone’s intelligence is a flirting tactic, then color me surprised and out of date. I can’t exactly say I appreciate that he has already categorized as “super hot” before she even opened her mouth upon walking through the front door. Now, I am not saying I’m a Lexi fan. I’m not, to be honest. But she deserves a bit more respect than being graded like a piece of meat. I can’t help but think that Jesse just sees her as a summer fling and not girlfriend material. Jesse is giving gross this season, and it makes me sad as he was such a fan favorite.
Jesse is coming off as annoying, and we are only two episodes into Season 9. Last summer, he was humble, and fans empathized with his health struggles. But this year, he is rude, making judgey faces and sharing comments that are just ridiculous. During his confessional Jesse point blank said he was pushing Lexi to see where the line was for her. We’ve seen this type of behavior before, specifically from West and Carl.
The Summer House star needs a lesson in manners
You would have thought that Jesse would have taken a page from Carl or West’s book about how to not treat women in the house. Yet, here we are, watching Jesse go down the same path his two friends followed. In their final conversation, some feel Carl gaslit the hell out of Lindsay Hubbard. He asked for “softness” not realizing how offensive that comment is to women. And while he struggled to communicate with Lindsay he had no issue talking to everyone else. The same could be said for West. He led Ciara Miller on, and when things got hard, he ran. He, too, spoke with the press about how he didn’t like Ciara, but his actions told a different story.
If Jesse isn’t careful, he is going to find himself in the same position as his two bros. Both men apologized to Ciara and Lindsay after they received backlash from fans. I doubt either one really understands why the women were so upset. Jesse needs to shape up or ship out when it comes to his treatment of Lexi. And just so we are playing fair here, Lexi should also not be entertaining his ridiculous courting methods.
Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.
