Winter House Season 3 Newbies Skate On Thin Ice With Cringey Premiere Antics

The season opener of "Winter House" was filled with enough energy to put the Energizer bunny to shame, with a spitfire of introductions to multiple Bravolebrities. It's a smorgasbord of new faces in the "Winter House" residence, but there's one interesting element that bonds the majority of them. Aside from Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula, the rest of the cast members are single — and ready to make a holy mess mingling. We may be used to seeing things get out of hand in Bravo reality TV shows, but these rag-tag bunch of newbies are skating on thin ice. At the helm of this iceberg-destined ship are "Below Deck" alum Alex Propson and "Family Karma" star Brian Benni.

From the get-go, the house's vibe is clear. Danielle Olivera is fresh out of a long-term relationship and while some of the ladies seem open to the idea of finding a sweet winter romance, it's Propson and Benni who are causing the ruckus. This troublesome twosome barely gets their introductions out of the way before they find themselves drunk and making total fools of themselves. They also have a common goal ... and her name is Jordan Emmanuel. 

After the standard first-night debauchery, Propson manages to coax Emmanuel into the hot tub, and it isn't long before things get uncomfortably steamy.
