Showing a relationship, especially its early days, on a reality TV show is guaranteed to open you up to a lot of criticism. Dating can be messy, let alone two public figures pursuing something together and having it all televised. Paige DeSorbo has been a fan favorite since she joined "Summer House," but the second she began pursuing Craig Conover, fans noticed that her entire serious, focused attitude had changed. Fans then blamed Conover for it, per Monsters & Critics. As each weekly episode airs, viewers get less and less impressed with Conover "gaslighting" DeSorbo, per The Dipp. Well, Conover now claims the series doesn't depict reality.
Speaking to People, Conover explained how he believes he was edited in a bad light. "When I discovered what direction that they were going in, I was pretty upset and it's just easier to, like, pull yourself out of it," he told the outlet. "I really thought it was going to be shown, you know, how that was. And unfortunately, there's just not enough time in a television slot to show all the happiness and positivity and so I got twisted."
"I don't know what was said or shown, but I know it wasn't, unfortunately, an accurate story," Conover concluded. Now, despite knowing that the couple are still together and stronger than ever, fans remain unsure. When DeSorbo and Conover visited Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live," they explained, "Yeah, we had a really healthy, non-traditional start to our relationship, and then when it came time for us to commit, we did."
