The Daily Dish Winter House

Austen Kroll Is Back in the Winter House — See How Ciara Miller Reacts

The former flames are reuniting after a tumultuous season of Summer House.

By Allison Crist

Thursday’s all-new episode of Winter House marks the moment Ciara Miller has not been waiting for: Austen Kroll’s arrival.

How to Watch

Watch Winter House on Peacock and the Bravo app.

As she puts it in the above sneak peek, “Goddammit.” 

Austen, meanwhile, insists he’s a changed man. “Coming to Vermont this winter, my headspace is so much clearer than the tornado that was summer 2021,” he explains in a confessional in the upcoming October 27 episode. “It affected my relationships with a lot of my friends and a lot of people in this house. I just want to get back to a good place with everybody.” 

If that’s the case, Ciara’s actually in luck, because she wants the same. “I haven’t seen Austen since November, when we hooked up in Charleston,” she admits of their Southern Charm fling. “I moved on from the situation. Hopefully, we can have respect for each other in the same space and it’s reciprocated.”

The Group Reacts to Luke Gulbranson Leaving the Winter House

Austen isn’t exactly walking into a very zen space, though, after tensions rose between Craig Conover and Luke Gulbranson the previous night after the latter got close to Jessica Stocker. Luke opted to stay at a hotel for the night amid the drama.

“I definitely appreciated Craig standing up for me,” Jessica says in the preview, before revealing more of her thoughts on the matter in the clip above.

Craig’s girlfriend, Paige DeSorbo, also shares her take, but she plans to give Craig some time to cool off before broaching the subject. “Craig is not wrong, but when Craig gets in these righteous moments, there’s no calming him down, there’s no changing his mind,” Paige says. “So it’s kind of best to just let it simmer for a second, take a beat.”

Watch Winter House on Bravo Thursdays at 9/8c and the next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.
