NEED TO KNOW
Carl Radke has some thoughts about his style in the early seasons of Summer House.
The 40-year-old reality star has been a regular on the Bravo reality series since it premiered in 2017. However, while attending BravoCon 2025 at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, Radke exclusively admits to PEOPLE that he has some regrets about his wardrobe during those early seasons.
Speaking on the red carpet on Friday, Nov. 14, Radke shares that he does “personal rewatches” of the show, adding that he particularly enjoys seeing costar Kyle Cooke’s “banter.”

What advice would he share with that earlier version of himself? “I was going to say, Carl, it’s okay to wear baggier clothing. Your skinny jeans are too tight, man,” Radke says.
He continues, adding, “Get a different size. But, looking back at my old clothing, it’s like I don’t know how I fit into half of that stuff. So my apologies, season 1 through 4 fans.”
Cooke, who was with him on the red carpet, defends his longtime costar and his tight-fitting wardrobe, saying, “It’s a different era, though.”
Radke also speaks with PEOPLE about the upcoming 10th season of Summer House, which is set to premiere in 2026.
“I have said this before, and I take it back in other seasons where I have said, ‘This is the best season ever.’ I really think season 10 because of the new faces, where a lot of us are in our lives, it’s really good,” he teases.
What should fans expect?
“You’ll see some new faces,” he says, adding that “the new faces do bring a really good energy to the table.”

He continues, adding, “We had a lot of fun. And, I think, what I’ve realized over the last few years, I think our audience really enjoys watching our show when we really are having true fun. And the group is, I don’t think, ever been more connected than ever now.”
Cooke agrees, adding, “I think we’ve had seasons that get a little dark, then we’ve had seasons that are a little lighter. I think this one truly has all the drama but also all the fun. And I’ve always thought of previous seasons as various versions of roller coasters, but this one might be the best.”

Radke also lets PEOPLE know which fellow Bravo star he’d like to switch lives with for a day, saying that the easy answer for him is Andy Cohen.
“It’s the obvious answer, but Andy Cohen would be a great switch for a day,” he explains. “But listen, that guy works his ass off. Andy is probably the hardest worker on Bravo, I would imagine. He’s up early doing SiriusXM. He’s at night on Watch What Happens. He’s got two kids. He’s a loving father. He’s an amazing friend. I don’t know how he does it, but if I could step in his shoes for a day, I would.”
