Kyle Cooke and Ciara Miller share a kiss in the first preview for season 11 of Bravo’s Summer House, unveiled at Bravo Fan Fest in Charleston, South Carolina.
The moment comes during a game of Spin the Bottle, when Cooke’s spin lands on Miller. After the housemates declare that the pair must kiss, Miller reacts with surprise before the cast chants for them to go ahead.
“This is so crazy!” Miller says before the pair kiss, while Jesse Solomon urges them: “You guys owe it to each other.”
The preview was shown to fans on Saturday, with the forthcoming season having been filmed earlier this year.

Cooke discussed the scene during a panel after the footage was shown, describing Miller as his “hall pass”. Asked whether the kiss represented revenge following developments involving their former partners, he said the outcome had not been within his control.
“I couldn’t control how the bottle spun, but somehow there was magnetic force and it all happened,” the 44-year-old reality star and DJ said.
Cooke also played down the prospect of the kiss leading to a romance, saying the pair were “strictly platonic”.
“That’s why it was so awkward. I was like, ‘Oh god.’ I joked for years that she was my hall pass and then I’m like, ‘Oh, I gotta kiss my hall pass? Oh sh**,’” he said. “No, but she’s amazing.”
The scene comes months after Cooke’s estranged wife, Amanda Batula, and her former partner, West Wilson, revealed that they were seeing each other following the married couple’s separation.
Elsewhere at Bravo Fan Fest, cast members Carl Radke and Mia Calabrese teased a season featuring new faces, romantic connections and cast members who were single during the summer.
Radke said there would be hookups in the house but declined to reveal who was involved. Calabrese described the summer as “so exciting”, saying there was something happening every weekend.
“I would leave on Sunday like, what just happened?” she said, while Radke added that he was still wondering what had happened over the summer.
