Bravo’s Long Island-based ‘Summer House’ cast photos

Kyle Cooke

Originally of Manchester, New Hampshire, Kyle Cooke has founded a hospitality-industry software company; co-founded a service that delivers hair and makeup stylists to homes; and in June founded Fenix, a personalized diet-coach company. He attended Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where, as a sophomore, he was arrested by the FBI on Feb. 4, 2003, and charged with forgery for allegedly creating fake IDs. Suspended a year, he graduated in 2006 and earned an MBA in 2011 from Babson College in Massachusetts.

“I’ve been going to Montauk for 10-plus years, many locals are close friends, and I met some of my best New York City buds out there,” Cooke, 34, told Newsday. “Last summer many were quick to judge and label us,” he said of critics fearing an East End “Jersey Shore,” “but I understand the resentment. Montauk is a special place that means so much to so many people.” He added, “At the end of the day, the show is about us, not the town, but I hope we can add something positive, even if it’s mindless entertainment.” (Cooke was the only housemate made available by Bravo to speak with Newsday.)

Cristina Gibson

Cristina Gibson, from Mullica Hill, New Jersey, attended Loyola University New Orleans and then Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, graduating in 2006. She went on to become the columnist “Party Girl” for E! Online and later freelanced as a producer for Fuse TV and as a writer for SheKnows, InStyle and others. In September she became a producer-reporter for Wetpaint.com.

In 2007 he received a communication degree from Syracuse University, where he hosted and coproduced the campus show “On’Cuse.” As well, he was one of two men brought in to practice with the women’s basketball team to help raise the level of competition. He’s worked for medical-equipment companies since 2009, most recently with Ormco, and attended Harvard Business School in 2015.
