‘Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard’ Stars Nick Arrington and Preston Mitchum in Season 2 of Reality TV
Kicking off the second season of their show, Arrington and Mitchum talked to us concerning the past yr and their newfound fame.
“I mean, I don’t think I’ll ever (get used to it). Maybe that will happen,” Mitchum said. “I imagine loads of people on TV try this. It’s just an interesting feeling whenever you walk down the road and people recognize you.
Arrington talked about getting used to the web chatter surrounding the show, saying he’s learned to “have fun with it.”
“You know, you (have to) take it calmly, and the fact that people are talking about us, in my opinion, shows that they are actually watching us,” he said.
Having one full season of the fact show behind them gave the lads a probability to start out the second with latest intentions. For Arrington, it meant being more vulnerable – “letting go… letting people see me for who I am,” he explained.
“I think there’s beauty in all of us – that we’re all individuals, you know?” he said. “So I think the approach to season two is that I just felt more comfortable being vulnerable.”
