Paige DeSorbo Explains Craig Conover Dating Timeline and 'Summer House' Love Triangle With Andrea Denver

etonline.com:

Paige DeSorbo quips, referencing the predicament she finds herself in at the start of 's sixth season. Last week's premiere kicked off with Paige moving into her Hamptons share house alongside her  love interest, Andrea Denver, where it was soon revealed that Paige had started seeing their  housemate,  star Craig Conover, in the months between filming the Vermont-set spinoff and the mothership show.

Many viewers assumed they'd see Paige and Craig's romance fully play out on , but the ball was already in motion when cameras went up.«So, when we left, which we left [at] the beginning of March, I actually went on a trip with my brother to Charleston, [South Carolina, where Craig lives]… in April,» Paige shares. «I hadn't really talked to Craig in between that, so I didn't really know what his relationship status was.

I kind of just went and assumed that he still had a girlfriend.»When the group left their 17-day  stay, Craig was still in a relationship with then-girlfriend Natalie Hegnauer, though the show documented his uneasy feelings about where that relationship was headed, especially as they spent an extended period of time apart. «On that trip, I realized that Craig was single — and we were nothing but friends on that trip — and then the last night he kind of kissed me,» Paige reveals. «I actually said, 'It's crazy that you haven't kissed me yet,' and he was like, 'I didn't know where we were at that point.' And then it wasn't until May, he asked me to come down and spend a weekend with him and that is what really started us hanging out, but we were very single.

It was kind of like, don't ask, don't tell. He was doing his thing in Charleston. I'm certainly doing my thing in New York, but we loved the time that we were.
