If one person is going to be tuned into the 2024 Summer Olympics, it’s Bravo’s resident sports guy West Wilson.
Wilson, who rose to fame starring in the most-watched season of Summer House, works as a Sports Social and Editorial Producer at Complex Networks — a job he landed while filming Season 8 of the hit Bravo show.
With his background in sports journalism, it’s no surprise that Wilson has been keeping up with the ongoing Olympic Games in Paris. We recently caught up with the reality star via Zoom, where he revealed which Olympic sport he enjoys watching the most.
“If I told you women’s sand volleyball, would that be OK?” Wilson asked with a chuckle.
“I actually have always loved watching volleyball,” he explained. “I think volleyball is a very, very entertaining sport to watch. I’ve just gravitated towards it forever. But, obviously, sand volleyball, it’s beautiful women so that adds.”
But women’s volleyball isn’t the only Olympic sport Wilson has been keeping up with.
“I think most culturally relevant is probably basketball just because we all know most of the faces on that team,” he said. “And any gymnastics event on the beam blows my mind. I don’t know how a human being can do that. So it’s all pretty awesome.”
Aside from watching the Olympics, Wilson teased that he has been gearing up for the release of his new show with Complex. Plus, he teamed up with Captain Morgan Sliced for their exciting “Sliced is Better” sweepstakes. Fans 25+ can sign up here for their chance to win a bucket-list trip to one of three places in the U.S. curated by Wilson, a proud member of the 50 States Club.
“The campaign — we were just talking about this — it’s very niche and feels kind of perfect for me, given it’s a domestic travel sweepstakes, you know?” Wilson said. “And I hate saying it too many times, but I’ve been to all 50 states, and it’s kind of my favorite fun fact.”
He added, “I believe in traveling to different parts of the country that you probably normally wouldn’t go to and so this is super perfect.”
The first eight seasons of Summer House are currently streaming on Peacock.
