Sunset of Netflix’s sales There are many things, but selling a sunset has never been one of them. To be quite honest, it has nothing to do with Los Angeles real estate, despite what the show’s logline indicates. Under a web of lavish homes, bright sunshine, and Southern California B-roll, the popular reality show is, in fact, a soap opera about beautiful women and the friendships and mild bullying they are capable of.
Sell sunset at its best. Ambient television is at its best. The stakes are low, there are few results, and the criticisms are ridiculously small-minded. But my favorite reality show has struggled in recent seasons.
The issue is that everyone is now too at ease.
Every reality television program requires a bad guy, and Christine Quinn has served as the series’ platinum blonde nemesis for the last five seasons. She performed her role as a pretty vile Barbie for television a little too well, causing everyone else to compromise. The T cast starts eliminating the Ice Queen. Quinn’s co-stars were also swimming together at the same time, eating lunch together, supporting one another, and grinning constantly. That’s why people don’t watch reality television, despite how entertaining it is.
I would have bought a saltwater tank if I had wanted something tranquil.
Christine departed the program before the sixth season’s conclusion. In a sink-or-swim moment: discover yet another villain within a cast of women who desperately don’t want to get their hands dirty, or watch the sun finally go down on this great show. At goodness, one of them learned how to market this new season.
Sell Sunset Needs Villains To Work. Luckily, Chrishell Realized This.
Sell sunset is similar to creator Adam DiVello’s other well-known series, Mountain. Its basic concept is that two attractive women can’t get along and that Los Angeles is too small to accommodate both of them. The two ladies were Chriselle Stause, a sharp and fearless rookie, and Christine Quinn, a stunning and amusing spiteful Snow Queen. In terms of wrestling, Christine is the antagonist, and Krisel is the face and the popular hero.
The Oppenheim Group, a real estate company regarded as the premier agency for wealthy individuals residing in exceedingly affluent areas of Los Angeles, was the only place Christine and Chrishell shared in common. wishing to purchase and sell a house. They worked there, clicking their laptops and their heels while conducting business with their other agents Maya Wenders, Mary Fitzgerald, Davina Potretz, and Heather El Moussa (formerly Rae Young).
Christine’s knowledge that her real work was in television programming rather than real estate was what gave her such strength. These responsibilities include dressing impeccably, operating a dazzling vehicle, portraying an idealized fantasy life, and having a keen sense of self. She’ll accuse Chrishell of making flirtatious advances at the boss one moment, and then lament how painful her feet are in those Louboutin stilettos the next. A few seconds later, she was discussing how other women had large feet and wore poor shoes.
Quinn’s antics made for excellent entertainment, but her co-stars were enraged by her behavior. They didn’t appear as willing to join in on the robbing of her clients or resort to one-liners like “Just my boobs are fake, I’m not fake.” He filmed less moments with the queen bee and more or less isolated Quinn. Quinn finally departed the program in 2022, making her exit known after the fifth season’s premiere.
Not to worry! Christine Quinn’s condition is good. She has written a book, participated in runway shows, and gained popularity on Instagram. She will soon have her own television series.
The main concern was whether selling Sunset would be okay. Both the show’s villain and its most captivating performer were departing. Who would initiate the fights? Who Would Have a Burger and Botox Event? Who would object to the cheap shoes worn by other women?
Chrishell, the show’s main character, enters.
Chrishell can only be compared to a professional athlete watching game footage of his team’s most recent defeat this season. He decides to take it upon himself to save the game after determining what they have done incorrectly and what they require.
Chrishell turns in MVP performance this season Selling Sunset.Courtesy of NetflixWith the non-binary Australian singer G Flip, with whom she claims to have discovered freedom and happiness, Chrishell opened up more about her personal life this season. She specifically discussed coming out and their new relationship.
With her fresh perspective, Chrishel also analyzes what went wrong in her relationship with Oppenheim Group CEO Jason and soberly muses that he might be in love with his 46-year-old wife’s new lover, 24-year-old Mary-Lou. Possibly not the finest choice. the Old East. Chrishell is not persuaded by her classmates’ explanation that Mary-Lou is mature for her age since she is European, who downplay the age gap.
Chrishell has also adopted Christine Quinn’s ability to participate in fun. Chrishell isn’t afraid to play the bimbo when necessary and has proven to be a long-lasting success on reality television. She obviously possesses a tremendous amount of intelligence that cannot be measured by standardized testing. Chrishel is faced with the challenge that eggs do not have eyes (technically true), nor do oysters (false; oysters do not have eyes), when Heather informs her that she cannot eat anything “with eyes” as a vegetarian. But they don’t have eyes! she cries, her own eyes narrowing. Kasturi is without eyes.
That does not imply that Chrishell has had an easy ride. Nicole, an agent who has purportedly worked at the agency for years but is infrequently seen on camera, crosses her path while the “Oysters Have Eyes” ensemble is visiting Palm Springs at the same time. Nicole’s biggest criticism of Jason is that he is siding with Chrishell, and Chrishell responds by leaping off the top rope. Chrishell orders Nicole to stop talking about her when they are on their completely typical employee weekend trip. The queen bee is attempting to assert her power over the new female in a typical reality TV ruse. But, Nicole won’t relent, and Chrishell unleashes a bombshell as the freshmen demand airtime.
Chrishell informs her, “You don’t have many points and you’re on drugs.” “Don’t behave like you’ve been a little drunk all night and there’s simply wine in your glass.”
The hint that Nicole is high on drugs as well as the fact that Chrishell said as much while the cameras were filming astounds the other women. They are unable to decipher the code and speak the final phrase aloud. As a result, Chrishell’s closest friends, like Marie, refer to her as being “struck below the belt” in reality TV slang. To establish her integrity, Nicole submits to a drug test.
“Has anyone seen him actually urinate in the cup? And Nicole or an impartial third party will receive the results? Chrishell makes a confessional to the camera while grinning and implying that the once-extremely likable hero of the program is now prepared to become a villain when required.
Sell Sunset Is A Recession-proof Spec
The fact that some of the cast members are still unwilling to cooperate and provide the necessary effort for the show is what is preventing this season from being considered extreme reality television. Nick Cannon introduces us to Brea, one of the 12 women with whom he had children. Brea quickly enters misery mode and informs all the girls that discussing her personal life with Canon is off-limits, despite the fact that getting a glance into her life seems like a tantalizing premise.
The Seema Bray set is awkward, and fellow cast member Chelsea Lazzakani basically agrees, mostly by making references to the tabloids, but stops short of actually breaching the fourth wall. No one gets chosen on this show because they are skilled at selling real estate, but since Chelsea Can’t, I Can. Bray’s convoluted personal background led to his casting, along with that of the rest of his co-stars. You shouldn’t be on television if you post a “Do Not Enter” sign.
Mary is also in her second season as the office manager and sixth overall on the show. Although she spends the majority of her time chatting with other women, she is always reminding her coworkers that managing the office is “too much” labor. It appears that office logistics are taking care of itself. So, nobody in the Oppenheim group has any paperwork or plugged-in laptops on their desks.
Not everyone fits on the Oppenheim Group couch.Adam Rose / NetflixThe couch’s lack of space for team meetings is the office’s largest operational difficulty this season. Every time a meeting is called, people rush to claim a position on the couch so they can be filmed from a favorable viewpoint. Ladies pose like gorgeous sardines while seated on cramped sofas. Mary would have found a way to remove Davina from the unsightly ergonomic chair that would have ruined the shot’s composition if she had been a decent office manager.
When Mary discusses the different HR infractions, these ladies are set against one another if HR is actually a component of her employment. Mary must strike a balance between serious workplace infractions and the fact that office turmoil makes for entertaining television. Her biggest office squabble is oddly centered about 2023: Chrishell wants to “work from home.” It’s unclear what exactly that entails: filming at her house, showing the house from her living room, and skipping the claustrophobic sofa meetings.
But this is as near as we get to true workplace disputes. This is the Oppenheim Group’s workplace; there are laptops without charges, no paperwork, and a busy rush to take in the beauty. This is possibly the strongest proof that the entire production is a fantasy. They discuss how they are still selling $15 million mansions to unknown purchasers in those small-couch sessions, an industry that seems to be immune to any economic turmoil.
Do these women aware about the massive layoffs in technology? Do they give a fig about rising interest rates and inflation? Do they realize that rising interest rates have an impact on mortgages, which has an impact on buyers and sellers? Anyone familiar with Janet Yellen?
Maybe yes is the correct response to each of these. Perhaps Davina is fully aware of the identity of the Treasury Secretary. But I don’t really want to watch that show.
