Chapter 1: Who is Lexi Wood and what show is she known for?
girlies it's the toast it's jackson claude and we're your hosts it's your favorite show the things you need to know we'll start your day off swirly it's the toast they sound amazing Welcome back to The Toast. I am so excited today is a very special episode because I am sitting down with Lexi Wood from Summer House. We talk about you all the time, at least once a week when we recap Summer House.
And this was your first season on the show and you're one of our faves. So when I was in New York, I just had to come and talk to you because we're in the middle of the season. Things are really reaching like a tipping point. And the reunion actually airs tonight. So we'll probably get answers on like a lot of the things from this season. Yeah. But I'm so excited that you're sitting here.
You're so sweet. It's so nice to meet you. You're literally the same like from TV and from Instagram, which is always like, I feel like the nicest thing you could say to someone. Especially this day and age. That's so nice. Yeah.
So welcome to the show. I'm so excited to be here. Do you listen to The Toast? Of course. So many people will send it to me and be like, oh my gosh, they're talking about you. And I'm like, eh. Oh my God, the girls. The girls.
No, I love it. I love just like the chat. Oh, that's what we do, chit chat. So that's what we're going to do. And I want to get to know you even more because you were on this first season of Summer House. I feel like it was actually probably a year ago right now or maybe later in the summer when we all, like the audience, heard that you were going to be on the show. Yeah.
I remember Claudia and I reported on it. I think there was even like whispers that you had like, we're seeing Jesse or like that you guys had connected and we were just like living for it. I feel like you were such a great casting in theory and then also in practice.
Thank you so much. Wait, that actually means so much to me. Yeah, I definitely feel like I think it was the first weekend that we were in the house that everybody was like, oh, wait, Lexi is in the house.
Yeah. So how did it come to be? Because before you were on Summer House, like you are a model. You are a very successful influencer. So I feel like sometimes when someone like that goes on the show who has a name, they actually wind up being kind of disappointing. And it's like, but then sometimes you pick someone obscure and it's like, who is that?
So that's why I felt like this was such a great casting in both ways. Like in the season as well. So how did you come to the show or did the show come to you?

Chapter 2: What were Lexi's first impressions of Summer House?
My friends are, like, normal. Like, my one friend's a... She's a secretary at a high school. Like, they're just normal people. So I was like, okay, if I can't share a lot of my life... Why would I do it solely? So then when Summer House kind of came, other than that, like I'd never even thought about it.
And then when Summer House kind of came around, I was like, oh, wait, this might be fun because I do love being vulnerable. Like I think being vulnerable and having the confidence to say insecurities and connect with people is honestly so powerful. I was so excited. I was like, this is probably like the platform where I feel like my heart can flourish the most. Yeah.
And I can be the most open and the most like, yeah, vulnerable and authentic. And so I was really excited. And I also feel like it was cool because I do have so much to share. I have had a 17 year career in modeling and influencing. And I do feel like that's like a different thing.
avenue of the industry yeah that I hadn't tapped into also like the two worlds really complement each other so how has being on the show affected your like established career that you're doing already like have you seen more of what you're already doing or like a bunch of new stuff it's funny I feel like it's pretty still like consistent with what I was always doing um obviously like there's other like little things that are more like household things um and companies or restaurants or whatever that have reached out to me since but honestly I've just been doing the same
kind of things like I'm coming out with a collection with Hanky Panky that I've been working on for two years. So it was way before the show anyway. So I do feel like obviously it's given me more of a voice, which has been so nice because modeling is very, you are just a one dimensional person, which I do feel like I've,
been really pleasantly surprised with being able to be like oh my gosh like it's really cool that people can see that i'm not just one dimensional yeah no when i also think and i think i said this in one of our recaps like your personality is so it's kind of like unexpected based on like what you do and like how you look like you're so bubbly and you're so sweet and like you could be like get away with being the world's biggest bitch if you wanted like just so you know wait first of all thank you so much i yeah i really appreciate that wow that's face card for
Yeah, I never thought about that. And I said that to Claudia, not because I'm on TikTok. She was like, her face card is off the charts. I'm like, yeah, I think I know what you mean. That makes sense. Because I watch you on Watch What Happens Live. Also, you've been on two times this season, right? Yeah.
And yet, so that's also we get to see a different side of people on the show when they go on Watch What Happens Live because it's like totally different.
live and you're like put on the spot yeah and you just like have such a great presence no thank you so much I definitely feel like it's been really nice again just because it is very one-dimensional and honestly I've never really like it's so funny in modeling maybe it's just my experience in modeling being so young when I started in the industry but I've never actually thought about like this sounds so stupid but like my looks or anything I've always been like you

Chapter 3: How did Lexi get cast on Summer House?
Right. And we were saying before this, like even someone who comes on who is going to he's like, I'm going to be I'm not going to give any of myself. I'm not going to be vulnerable. I'm just going to, like, you know, get through the show. Yeah. That's not interesting either. No. So it's definitely a fine balance between the two. Yeah.
Well, I feel like it's like when you guys probably started your podcast. It's like, what the heck are we doing? What is going on? Who's going to watch this?
What's going on? And we've learned so many lessons. But you can only learn them the hard way. Someone could tell you, be this way, do this. And it just doesn't permeate until you learn the hard way. And you're like, oh, damn. Also, I feel like if it's not authentic, then somebody could be like, you should be like this.
You should handle this like this. it's not going to come off genuine if I'm just like listening to every single different person telling me who I'm supposed to be. And I do feel like even in modeling, I always felt like a box of somebody else's beauty standard or somebody else's idea of like what they want on that shoot. And that was my job. And I loved doing that.
Like I, I, and I still do like, I love going to set and like being a version of what somebody else has in mind. I feel like it's like acting to an extent. Yeah. And I, I love that. But I also feel like in real life and in like the reality space and everything like I can't listen to if somebody's like, oh, don't date that guy. Right. It's not going to end well. No. Yeah. Were they right? Yeah.
Oh, don't don't date. I don't see a world where like you and Jesse have feeling the way that you did about each other the first weekend. Like, don't give it a shot. And I'm always going to give love a shot. Right. So that's when people are like, it was a big mistake. Like what? There was no other way for it to go down.
Like you guys really liked each other and you were really cute and happy for a month. One thing I wanted to ask you is when we were recapping the season finale or maybe the episode before that, when you were saying about like talking about like things that you realized about Jesse and you were saying like that you realized that he had told you like a lot of half truths or like omitted things.
Were there things outside of the show that where that happened outside of what we know, which is obviously like the toe, which one toe is enough to end the whole relationship. So like you're fine even on the count of the toe. But like taking that out, were there other things where it was just like he's just not being truthful about random shit?
Yeah, I think, first of all, even with the toe situation, I am actually a very forgiving person. I forgave him for so many different things because I do see the best in people. Like, I want to see the best in people. I will. Should I have broken up with him after the toe? Yeah, probably. But I... Yeah, I'm just like, I do want to see the best in people.

Chapter 4: What challenges did Lexi face as a new cast member?
And did you meet them in New York even? Or they were visiting or you were out of town? I met the one in New York, then the other one I met out of town. And again, it's just like, it's one of those things where how like, it's a long, like it would be a long distance thing. Like you can never really like... Yeah. Fully get to know people and everything.
So it's been flings, but I am single and I am... I'm like happy with that. I feel like I'm in a really good space where I feel really good, confident. I'm like ready to date, obviously, because I do feel like I've healed a lot from that situation.
Did you feel like you were like over it and then the season aired and now you're like in it again? It's like happening all over again. Yeah, absolutely. Because the season didn't air for like six months after. I imagine that's how long it like takes to fully move on from something like that.
Yeah.
And then it's like all over again. Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, 100%. You literally go through like a healing process. Then you're like, stab, stab. Like every Wednesday, it's like a stab. And I'm like, no. Well, it's over now. I know. I know. That's a relief. That is a relief. We still have the reunion. We still have... But I am happy that I do feel like we kind of get a break for a minute to just be like, okay, like... I'm in my healing era.
And yeah, I feel good. I feel confident. I feel like I'm not necessarily desperate for a relationship, but I'm open to one. Yeah. I feel like I... Yeah. I love dating. I love connections. I love. But at the end of the day, like I will always be like my friendships mean more to me than meeting a guy at a club. So it is difficult. Dating in New York is hard. Yeah. I don't know how people do it.
Especially without apps. Yeah. I'm literally praying that like my friends know someone. Yeah. That they haven't already set you up with.
Well, that's the thing. Yeah. Yeah, that's like, you need just a lot of people, a big pool.
