Who is Luke Gulbranson? His prominent role on Summer House lasted about as long as our interest in Hannah Berner’s comedy career. I have to assume his lack of camera time in season 6 was directly linked to his lack of chaotic energy? But who knows. There’s so much to compete with on this show.
Luke’s on camera personality carries over to his social media presence. I guess that tracks. While Luke’s grid is full of classic Summer House moments, it’s also a haven for construction content, flannel, and winter sports. It’s giving ‘bring me home to mom’. Or is it just the Wisconsin girl in me? (Call me Luke! I actually text my friends after 9pm too!)
Luke used his Instagram last week to do some good for the world. He posted a video saying, “Hey everyone, I hope this finds you well. As some of you know, I’m raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.” Luke gave details on where his followers could find his fundraiser. A link in his bio, of course. He then offered to make things a bit more interesting.
Luke tried to generate interest in his fundraiser by entering each donor into a raffle, regardless of the size of their donation. The winner of the raffle won a 20-minute zoom call with Luke. He said in the video, “We can have a chat and a drink!” Sounds nice.
The winner of the raffle was announced during a weekend Live Stream. According to his stories at the time, Luke actually pushed the announcement back by a few hours due to the amount of interest and generosity the cause received. Well done!
Luke has been a quiet but steady force during Season 6 of Summer House. His main role this year was supporting Andrea Denver through his rise and fall with Paige Desorbo and his ex-girlfriend from home. Apparently it’s nothing a campfire and man-hugs couldn’t handle. Nothing like a robust midwestern man to help you sort through some feelings. Luke also accused Paige of contributing to the wine-throw argument between Ciara Miller and Danielle Olivera in the reunion episodes. A valid effort, but has he earned his way back for a third season?
