Carl Radke isn't sweating some major changes to the "Summer House" cast ... telling us the show is ready to turn the page without West Wilson and Amanda Batula.
We got Carl at LAX on Thursday and asked whether the Bravo hit can stay as popular now that West and Amanda have decided not to return for the upcoming season ... and he doesn't seem too worried.
Carl tells us the group has never been exactly the same from summer to summer ... saying a new house and some new faces should make this season feel like a "totally new chapter."
The "Summer House" crew and fans are still coolin' off from the Ciara vs. Amanda of it all, but Carl Radke and Kyle Cooke's friendship is goin' strong and heating up on socials ...
Sky's out, thighs out!!! Both Bravo-lebs washed up their washboard abs on the 'gram, but who's comin' out on top???
Bravo's Amanda Batula and Raquel Leviss may have similar scandals and storylines, but you can't knock their bikini bods ... putting the drama aside, we've got one key question for you to answer:
Amanda Batula and West Wilson are already fueling fresh "Summer House" buzz before Season 11 even gets underway ... because the Bravo stars were spotted hanging out together at a Montana bar during a wedding weekend.
Witnesses tell TMZ ... Amanda and West were at a small bar in Bigfork, Montana, on Friday night for a wedding welcome party ahead of Saturday's ceremony. We obtained photos of the couple during their night on the town.
We're told the wedding was for Ty Okada -- a former Montana State football player who was teammates with West in college -- Okada now plays for the Seattle Seahawks.
Amanda Batula is officially leaving the Hamptons behind ... 'cause TMZ has learned the longtime "Summer House" star will not be returning for Season 11.
Sources connected to the series tell TMZ ... Amanda is not expected to be part of the cast when production gets underway on the July 4 holiday weekend.
Like any reality show, there's still a chance Amanda could drop in at some point during the season in a group setting ... but as of now, she won't be returning as a full-time cast member.
Kyle Cooke just gave "Summer House" fans a little whiplash after sharing a cryptic caption that seemed to suggest he was leaving the show.
His initial Instagram post reflected on season 10 wrapping, calling it the "end of an era." But the Bravo star updated his post, writing ... "The show isn’t cancelled and this is not me announcing I won’t return."
Kyle clarified ... "I was feeling emo and always planned sharing the cover photo because it DID feel like the end of an era, which is why everyone else was so emotional saying their goodbyes on the finale. Sorry everyone!"
West Wilson's run on "Summer House" has come to an end ... 'cause TMZ has learned he won't be returning for Season 11.
Sources connected to the series tell TMZ ... West was not picked up for the next season of the Bravo show and will not return when cameras start rolling over the July 4 weekend. That said, our sources say the door isn't completely closed and it's possible he could pop in for a cameo at some point.
His departure on the show comes after a drama filled run on the show, including a romance that dominated headlines this year.
The "Summer House" star was spotted at an Uber event in New York City Friday night with a mystery brunette in tow ... and yes, they were definitely together. Just look at the clip -- he held her hand to lead her through the crowd, and at another point, they were listening to the Backstreet Boys with Bravo honcho Andy Cohen.
It's unclear if they're just pals or an item, but we're happy to see Kyle getting out there as he continues to grapple with the fact his former close friend, West, is now fully in a relationship with Kyle's estranged wife, Amanda.
Jennifer Lawrence can officially add amateur detective to her résumé ... 'cause Andy Cohen says she helped crack the case of the leaked "Summer House" reunion audio.
While appearing on "Watch What Happens Live," Andy gave the Oscar winner a shout-out for going full internet sleuth and helping track down the source of the leak that had Bravo scrambling.
As it turns out, the audio was ultimately traced back to a member of the production staff ... bringing an end to the mystery that had fans buzzing for weeks.

The "Summer House" star sat down with People in a new interview ... and said he still feels "incredibly betrayed" by his former best friend and estranged wife over 2 months after they confirmed their relationship.
Kyle says he's not the only one affected by West and Amanda's relationship, explaining ... "There's a reason why the whole friend group felt affected. It's kind of like he's banging his sister."
The jaw-dropping moment will air in a surprise "Summer House" episode next week that Bravo announced after the third and final part of the Season 10 reunion aired Tuesday night. During the honest chat, Kyle specifically asks West if he feels the "L" word for this estranged wife ... and that's when West shares the truth.
He warns Kyle that the truth "could be possibly hurtful," but Kyle wants to hear it. That's when he opens up, admitting ... "I do love her and have for a very, very long time."
"Summer House" star Kyle Cooke is back at it again ... kissing fans in public on video.
In footage going viral online, Kyle is seen leaning in close to a woman at a nightclub while he's on tour for his DJ set ... laying a few smooches on her before telling her, "You're actually really hot, I'm not joking."

In the clip posted to social media, Kyle is seen working the crowd during his Saturday set ... when he leans in toward a female fan near the DJ booth. The two appear to share a brief kiss before Kyle gets right back to the music as the crowd cheers around him.

Carl Radke says the drama rocking "Summer House" has had one unexpected side effect ... it's actually brought him closer to ex-fiancée and co-star Lindsay Hubbard.
We caught up with Carl at LAX -- as fans continue dissecting Part 2 of the explosive Season 10 reunion -- and we had to ask where things stand these days between him and Lindsay, as they've been seemingly closer than ever, after their very public split in 2023.
According to Carl, the tension caused by castmates West Wilson and Amanda Batula has ended up uniting some of the show's longtime veterans ... saying the drama has pulled him closer not only to Lindsay, but also fellow OGs like Kyle Cooke.
Lindsay Hubbard blew up on West Wilson during the latest part of the "Summer House" Season 10 reunion ... and it's a hard watch.
In the episode, Amanda Batula shuts down and exits the stage in tears after she can't take the heat from her castmates ... and West just sits there. That is, until Lindsay screams at him to "man up" and chase after his girl.
West, however, isn't sold that's the best move ... arguing that they'll all just attack him for leaving, too. But, Kyle Cooke -- Amanda's estranged hubby -- takes a calm approach to the situation, and his advice encourages West to head on out to check in on Amanda.
The cast is obviously unimpressed by Amanda, saying there are loads of unanswered questions and she can't keep shutting down. Lindsay even compares the situation to her past in the hot seat ... it's all in the clip.
Amanda Batulaand West Wilsonaren't exactly hiding out from the "Summer House" reunion fallout ... they're soaking up the Italian coast together while Part 2 of the explosive sit-down plays out back home.
TMZ has obtained photos showing Amanda and West out Tuesday night in Taormina, Sicily ... where they were spotted grabbing a late-night bite at Caffe Wunderbar in the town's famous main square just off Corso Umberto.
A witness tells TMZ the pair arrived around 10:30 PM and spent time sitting and chatting together at an outdoor table. The two appeared relaxed and engaged in conversation throughout the evening -- though there was no visible PDA.
