As the premiere of Summer House Season 9 draws closer, fans are buzzing with excitement, eagerly anticipating the drama that’s bound to unfold in the Montauk house. This year, not only are familiar faces returning—such as Carl Radke and the newly pregnant Lindsay Hubbard—but there’s also a new addition to the group, a newcomer who is stirring up quite the buzz. Imrul Hassan, a self-proclaimed “full-time party boy,” has entered the scene, and he’s already making a splash. However, as the trailer for the upcoming season reveals, he may be more reminiscent of Summer House’s former roomie, Jordan Verroi, than anyone would have hoped. While Imrul is still a bit of a mystery, there are already strong indications that he may follow in Jordan’s footsteps—and not in a good way.

Who is Imrul Hassan?
Imrul Hassan’s bio on Bravo paints a picture of someone who could either be the life of the party or the source of much drama in the house. Born in Bangladesh but now based in New York City, Imrul works as a real estate agent by day and embraces the “party boy” lifestyle by night. According to his bio, Imrul is an avid basketball player, surfer, and world traveler, and his presence in the house is expected to inject some much-needed energy into the group.

But it’s not just his social life that makes Imrul an intriguing figure—he’s also carving out a name for himself in the competitive real estate market. Specializing in rentals, Imrul’s clients typically spend around $5,000 a month. His bio on Highline Residential highlights his blend of professionalism and a friendly, approachable demeanor, which contrasts with his wild side.
Yet, despite his professional success, Imrul has already faced some criticism. Social media buzz suggests that the newcomer’s charm may not be as universally appreciated as Bravo might hope. Some fans have already expressed doubts about his character, with one Twitter user mentioning how they found him “fake and annoying” when he showed up at Lindsay Hubbard’s baby shower. A less-than-flattering real estate review further reveals that Imrul may not always be as reliable or courteous as his public persona suggests.

Early Impressions and Controversial Moments
Imrul’s behavior in the Summer House trailer certainly adds fuel to the fire of controversy. In one clip, he is heard boasting about his romantic conquests, claiming to have hooked up with two people just the night before. In another, he’s seen telling a woman to “take this dress off” in what appears to be a very questionable attempt at flirtation. When Jesse Solomon questions him about his promiscuous behavior, Imrul nonchalantly responds, “Just last night? Just two.” The scene is uncomfortable at best, and it immediately invites comparisons to one of the more cringe-worthy figures from previous seasons—Jordan Verroi.
A Flashback to Jordan Verroi
For fans of Summer House, the name Jordan Verroi likely sparks memories of uncomfortable moments, awkward flirting, and an abundance of exaggerated tales. Jordan entered the house in Season 4, and from the start, he made it clear that he wasn’t shy about talking about his sex life. Like Imrul, he loved to spin raunchy stories, many of which didn’t seem entirely believable. The more Jordan spoke, the more viewers started to question whether his wild tales of promiscuity were based in reality—or were simply a means to grab attention.
While Jordan’s attempts to charm the ladies of the house (and viewers at home) were far from successful, he still managed to keep the drama alive throughout his brief time on the show. His flirtations with Paige DeSorbo and Danielle Olivera seemed almost calculated, and it quickly became evident that Jordan was more interested in playing the role of a cocky womanizer than developing genuine connections with anyone in the house. This left fans cringing at every turn, wondering when—if ever—he would dial it back and start treating people with the respect they deserved.
In the end, Jordan left the house as a self-absorbed bachelor who never really managed to integrate into the group. His over-the-top behavior and questionable antics didn’t sit well with the other cast members, and many fans were relieved when he exited. However, as Summer House fans know all too well, the return of one obnoxious man often means the arrival of another—and it’s starting to feel as though Imrul may be that guy.
Imrul’s Path to Becoming the Next Jordan Verroi
As the Summer House trailer rolls on, it’s impossible to ignore the similarities between Imrul and Jordan Verroi. Both newcomers exude a certain cocky confidence, mixed with exaggerated bravado and questionable behavior. Imrul’s self-proclaimed status as a “ladies’ man” feels eerily reminiscent of Jordan’s early persona, and both men seem to rely heavily on shock value in their interactions with women. From Imrul’s bizarre stories about a two-story, 18-room house complete with a “sex swing,” to his attempts to turn every conversation into a flirtation, there’s a very real chance he’ll follow in Jordan’s footsteps as a walking, talking cringe-fest.
What’s most concerning, however, is that Imrul may struggle to develop genuine relationships with his fellow cast members. While Jordan never quite made the necessary emotional connections with anyone, Imrul seems to be on a similar trajectory. If he continues down this path, it’s only a matter of time before viewers start to tire of his antics, just as they did with Jordan.
Can Imrul Avoid Jordan’s Fate?
It’s important to remember that not every new Summer House cast member follows the same pattern as those before them. While Jordan’s journey through the house was marked by cringe-worthy moments and awkward flirtations, there is always the possibility that Imrul will evolve in unexpected ways. Perhaps he’ll develop genuine friendships with his roommates or come to understand the importance of treating others with respect.
But for now, the signs point to a potential disaster. If Imrul continues to lean into his “bad boy” persona and doesn’t learn how to interact with his housemates in a more authentic, less egotistical manner, he could very well become Summer House’s next Jordan Verroi—a controversial, attention-seeking figure who never truly fits in.
Ultimately, only time will tell whether Imrul can carve out his own path in the Summer House universe, or if he’ll follow Jordan Verroi’s unfortunate example. Fans are watching closely, and as we await the drama-filled season, we can only hope that Imrul will prove us all wrong and deliver more than just a string of uncomfortable moments. Only time—and the Summer House cameras—will tell.
