Dara Sets the Record Straight: Did She Really Spend an Hour in Ben’s Room? New Romance Already Tested on Summer House Season 10
Dara just shut down the rumor that has KJ spiraling — but the drama is far from over.
In Season 10 Episode 8 (“Sleeping On It”), KJ confronted Dara after Lindsay dropped a bombshell: Bailey claimed Dara had spent nearly an hour in Ben’s room during her last visit, supposedly changing outfits while inside.
The accusation left KJ so anxious he suffered a full panic attack, admitting he was already “in my head trying to stop something before it even started” because he really likes her.
When Dara arrived at the house, she didn’t hesitate to set the record straight.
“That’s not true,” she said firmly. “I literally was in Ben’s room because I put my stuff in there. I changed and I came right back out. That just actually like factually never happened.”
Dara reassured KJ that he’s the only one she’s interested in, telling him, “Genuinely, the person I had interest in was you.” While the moment eased the immediate tension between them, Dara made it clear she plans to confront Bailey directly next weekend.
This early test for the new couple comes after last week’s Episode 7, where KJ and Dara seemed to be moving fast — sharing a flirty boxing date and him inviting her up to the house. Carl had even warned the group they were going “too fast.”
Now, Bailey — who stirred things up with Ben in the previous episode before ending her own crush on him after the Spin the Bottle kiss — has thrown fresh chaos into the mix.
With Dara gearing up for a showdown and KJ still rattled by the rumor, this budding romance is already facing major turbulence.
Will Bailey and Dara clash next week? Can KJ move past the doubt? Or has Bailey’s meddling already planted seeds that could end things before they truly begin?
Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
