Forget new roommates, we’ve got parents in the Winter House this week! Kory Keefer, who has suddenly become Bravo’s new It boy, gets a visit from his mom and dad. No secret that Brian aka “Chief” and Tracy may be on a wellness check disguised as a ski vacation. Since Kory’s been keeping busy, they use their trip to grill their son about the new people in his life. Of particular interest is Kory’s new romantic connection with his Summer House co-star Samantha Feher. Concerned that Kory’s thriving gym businesses take up all his time, they worry their son is forgetting to fully enjoy himself and his personal life. Well, once they see this season of Winter House, they’ll realize their worries were groundless!
In this exclusive clip, we see Kory, his dad, and housemate Malia White on the slope. As the father-son duo pose for a picture, Brian doesn’t hesitate to playfully rib the Below Deck Med alum. “So is this going to go on Instagram with the 25 follows you have,” questions Brian. “You’re talking shit to me, but I have, like, six times more followers than your son,” retorts Malia sassily as she heads off to find the group’s next ski route. Brian sees his opportunity for a quick check-in with his son. “So you haven’t really talked to any girls, here?” asks Brian. “No, keeping it very PG. I’ve been a good boy,” says Kory proudly. “Wow, so is this because of Sam, or is just because you’ve grown up in the last year?” presses Brian further. “I think both,” replies Kory.
Seeing his window, Brian asks the question audiences have been waiting for: “You’re going to make it official?” Not rising to the bait, Kory responds: “No, I’m not making it official this trip.” “Do you think that’s you being scared of a commitment?” interrogates Brian. “No, I think I am scared of my business failing, so right now I am career first,” says Kory honestly. “We just want to make sure you don’t get so focused on the business that your personal life just falls apart,” advises Brian wisely.
“I don’t like doing what other people tell me to do,” says Kory in his confessional interview. “I don’t want my dad putting pressure. I don’t want people in the house putting pressure.” Kory finishes to the camera saying, “I do my own shit, so fuck everyone else.” After that charming sentiment, the clip then switches to Kory’s mom Tracy sitting with the girls enjoying a little après ski. “Will you still be in town tomorrow when Sam gets here,” asks Jordan Emanuel. “I would like to be, but as far as I know, we’re not,” says Tracy.
“I actually met her in passing,” continues Tracy hesitantly. Tracy confides that she remembers thinking, “I don’t know if I want to meet her because I don’t necessarily want to meet somebody til Kory’s ready for me to meet them.” Emboldened by this sentiment, Amanda Batula speaks up: “I do think Kory does kind of see Sam as his person. Like she could be 100%.” “Oh my God,” squeals Tracy in surprise, “Maybe I might need another shot of tequila!” Can you blame her? Tune in tonight at 9PM to see how the rest of Kory’s parents visit shakes out.
