She's been wearing a lot of tummy baring outfits lately, and I'm all like... hmmm... where's your scar? A c-section is major surgery and if even if you're super-fit, it takes awhile to bounce back. So conspiracy rumours about a surrogate don't surprise me. It also wouldn't surprise me if she fabricated the "I almost died" story to drum up sympathy from viewers.

I hadn’t heard the surrogacy rumors before watching, but I did raise an eyebrow when she just bounced on the bed in one of the homes. I’ve never been pregnant, but it didn’t seem “natural” at the point of giving birth. 
I also call bullshit on the life or death birth.

Season 3 storyline coming up!

Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young Expecting First Child Together

Christine made it into the NYT.

There was a blind gossip item that stated one of the Selling Sunset women never appeared to close a sale, and it was because she didn't have her license. Everyone guessed it was Christine - that she was purely a TV character in that brokerage.

That could easily be proven true or not by a simple search of licensed realtors with the state

And it's official

Christine Quinn Not Returning To 'Selling Sunset'

Quote

Production sources tell TMZ Christine will not be featured in seasons 6 and 7 of the Netflix show, which recently began production. We're told it was a mutual decision between Christine, Netflix and the production company.

I won't miss her at all

[Avabelle]

What on earth will they talk about though? Literally 95% of their conversations revolve around her.

[MaggieG]

Honestly not shocked. Christine clearly has no relationship with these women and they don't like each other. Let's not even pretend she was selling any homes.

Right! It should hopefully shake things up a little bit with her gone.

[Sweet-tea]

I’m late to this show but it’s my new guilty pleasure! I love it! The real estate porn, the agents who look like Barbies, the cat fights, the short twin owners who try to make up for their small stature with swagger. 

I’m just starting so I haven’t read all the comments. I don’t want to be spoiled. I wish this show had its own thread. 

I think all the woman are gorgeous. Crishelle is the prettiest to me but that’s just my opinion. 

Is Christina’s hair real or is it extensions? Or maybe a wig? Some of the high end lace front wigs are so good I can’t tell them from real hair. She is such a diva but is a fun villain in a love to hate her way. 

Heather seems dim. I guess Tarek has a type, because she reminds me of his ex!

I like Mary but am not sure she made the right decision in marrying Romain. Hope it works out but the age difference is relevant at this stage of their lives. She looked beautiful at the wedding. I liked her dress but thought it would’ve looked better if she didn’t have the tattoos. I’m showing my age her though. I know they are on trend now. 

Seems like Davina is a B player on this show.  I wonder why. Is it the dark hair? But Maya isn’t blonde either and she’s heavily featured. When she was pregnant I thought she’d be done. No way would the brothers keep a pregnant woman at the firm. How could she wear the revealing outfits?  I guess I was wrong but she conveniently went through most of the pregnancy off camera.

Extensions, but she wears wigs occasionally. Nothing about Christine is real.

Thanks! Well for the most part they are good wigs and extensions. She is always decked out to the nines. 

I'm having trouble telling Jason and Brett apart. Anyone else?

OK, I was laughing at the scene where heartbroken Crishelle was thrown out of her home, "grabbed some stuff" and went to the Four Seasons, which is about $1,000 a night. I guess it was closer than the Hampton or Holiday Inn Express or she is a lot richer than I thought! 

And something is up with this storyline. I'm guessing one of them cheated. He wouldn't just text we're done over nothing.

There's no reason you can't mend your broken heart in style!

[Sweet-tea]

I'm a few episodes in to Season 4. I enjoy this show but am a little intimidated at how gorgeous and perfect-looking all the women are, super slim and fit in skintight, revealing outfits. I'm getting an inferiority complex watching them LOL.

The slow-mo of Emma in the red outfit was over-the-top! Looks like they're positioning her to be the new Christine. 

Speaking of Christine, I've never seen a woman 9 months pregnant decked out like that in a tight dress and heels! She pulled it off though. 

I think Crishelle is so pretty, but I like her hair better parted on the side as she wore it last season. I don't think the middle part is as flattering for her. I also liked her hair color better last season. Her hair is so perfect. I'm assuming it's wigs or extensions...?

I liked Tyra Banks' former house. It looked warmer and more like a home than a glass box like a lot of the other ones. 

The Property Brothers on HGTV are identical twins. I can easily tell them apart, but not Jason and Brett! The only way I can tell is Jason is usually the one talking.

I cannot believe how she looks 3 weeks after giving birth. I’ve seen women bounce back quickly but she’s at a different level with the midriff-baring outfits! It’s making me irritable LOL. 

She didn’t look big when she was pregnant except her stomach, so I figured she would look good afterwards but gosh. And she certainly knows how good she looks given by her choices in clothes. 

I didn’t realize Davina was German. She sounds American to me. I know the brothers are short but she really towers over Jason in their scenes, so she must be tall. 

I don’t know about Emma. She seems there just to cause drama with Christine. I’m cracking up at all her slow-mo walking scenes. It reminds me of Pam Anderson on Baywatch. 

[Sweet-tea]

I think I’m the only one watching this, but I’m almost done with season 5. A few observations:

— Christina doesn’t sell any houses, so why is she still at the OG?? Especially since most of the other women can’t stand her. 

— Christina’s lips have gotten gradually larger over the past five seasons. 

— Emma’s body is insane! The hot tub scene with the developer ticked me off. How can someone look that perfect? I don’t understand it. 

— The newer agent with the English boyfriend who is gone most of the time… can’t remember her name, but she doesn’t seem to be selling anything either. 

— Chrishelle and Jason clearly won’t last as he doesn’t really want children. Surprised to hear she’s 40. I thought she was early 30s. I guess that’s LA!

— Totally understand why Mary’s fiance was ticked she put an offer on a house without telling him. If it were reversed, no one would think it was cool.

Sometimes I re-watch this show (it's a really easy background show) but haven't felt the itch recently.

Did you all see Chrishell & G-Flip got married??  People Article

I know Chrishell wants a child (or children) and she wants a partner. May it work out for them. I do think she she had genuine feelings for Jason but I really applaud her for staying true to what she wanted and not “settling” and resenting him (and vice versa).

Binging the new season while I do bank deposits at work, but just a few thoughts:

1 - The gloves are ridiculous.  They look stupid.  On all of them.

2 - Don't tell me how professional you are when you are taking shots off each others boobs, licking vagina purses, and talking that candidly about inappropriate things in work settings.

3 - This show is not about real estate.

I know, I know, I learned #2 and #3 during season 2, but #1 is new!

[dancingdreamer]

This is all about house porn, and ridiculous  shoes, nobody  can walk in. Bring it! 

[Keywestclubkid]

The “OG” girlfriend whatever her name is seriously comes across as so jealous of Chrishell its borderline creepy 

[DanaMB]

I’m two episodes in and already sick of Heather’s pregnancy. We get it, you’re having a baby. 

Edited May 20, 2023 by DanaMB

[QQQQ]

Are they using special camera filters this seasons? These women don't look human.

 

Omg, every time someone says "squash it" take a shot. Or watch the delightfully awful 90210 episode of the same name where Steve and David organize hip hop night at the Peach Pit After Dark.

 

Edited May 21, 2023 by QQQQ

[LakeGal]

Nicole sure wants to be the new Christine.  She hates Chrishelle.  But Nicole has the most sour look on her face at all times.  She just is not appealing at all.

Chelsea has the same hate for Bre.  I guess they worry if they don't fight they will not get any camera time.  

[Cheezwiz]

The outfits have gotten even more porny and ridiculous this season - I didn't think that was possible.

I can't believe how boring and monotonous architecture in the 20 mil and up bracket manages to be.

Boy Chelsea is sure insecure right off the bat with the new  Bree chick. 

Why haven't we seen Nicole before if she's a long-standing agent? I guess they needed someone new to fight with Chrishell. I wonder which one of them is lying about their prior co-listing issues.

Even though they just got hitched, I don't think Chrishell and her new mate are going to last. I think it's a mid-life crisis thing for her.

[Kathy]

How many times are going to have to see Heather's naked baby bump?  Cover it up already.

That newbie Nicole is one scary chick.

Jason is a total player.  That new girlfriend won't last long.

[Starlight925]

Jason and his new girlfriend have a short shelf life.  She was a vacation fling which will turn into a chore, once the newness wears off.

So will Chrishelle and G-Flip.  Justin Hartley screwed her around, then she spent all that time with Jason, who never wanted kids in the first place, and so now, she's "in love" with the first person who shows extreme interest.

Why did the brokerage "fall apart" when Jason left for 3 weeks?  Can't Brett manage these women?

There's something so junior high school/I'll show you how successful I became about this whole thing.  Two short brothers, who probably never received a look in school, get to sit at the front of this room with women who all look extremely beautiful (although most of them really aren't), dressing and glamming and wearing skinny high heels (and extreme dieting to stay skinny), while the brothers have "control" over their careers.

Heather's continual comments about her expanding waistline.  "I can't fit into a 23 or a 0 anymore!!!"  Oh dear me, I'm getting sooo big!  Heather, you are the first woman EVER, in the history of the UNIVERSE, to get pregnant!!

[snarts]

Nicole is certainly annoying but the drug accusation Crishelle lobbed seemingly came out of left field. 

Anyone remember a similar accusation about Kristin Cavallari on The Hills?  It came out later that production had offered one of the cast a Birkin bag in exchange for making the comment on camera.  Pretty coincidental that Adam DiVello is the creator/producer for both shows.

[DanaMB]

I found Chrishelle less likeable this season. 

[Starlight925]

I don't like Nicole at all, but that comment from Chrishelle about drugs was unconscionable.

I don't blame Nicole for threatening to get a lawyer, and for taking a drug test.  Chrishelle snarked that Nicole might not even be using her own urine.

Even if Chrishelle thought Nicole was doing blow 5 minutes ago, to say this on camera is slanderous and can cost not only Nicole business, but the firm as well.

Chrishelle just jots off to Australia to see....G-Flip?  They are just not even attractive, and weird.  WhatEver.

Edited May 21, 2023 by Starlight925

[Sweet-tea]

 Bre strikes me as Christina 2.0, brunette version. Her nose looks like it’s been tweaked to a pencil. 

Jason still seems hung up on Chrishelle. Not sure what is going on with Chrishelle and G. Maybe it didn’t translate well on TV, but their exchange seemed a little “we’re on camera, let’s make it good!’ to me. 

Emma is gorgeous but that black dress/swimsuit cover-up was ridiculous. This is how real estate agents dress? Seriously? No guy is going to take her seriously. They are going to be gawking at her breasts, which I admit looked spectacular. 

I like the new opening with them all merging into each other. 

I couldn’t believe how expensive that fire insurance was! Wow! I would’ve pulled out of that deal too!

 

[Ciarrai]

Couldn't stand Chelsea last season and this season she's even worse.

Nicole is heinous. I would love to never see her on this show again but that'll never happen.

[Cheezwiz]

I've now binged the whole enchilada.

I can't stand Nicole, but Chrishell should never have thrown that comment out - it reflects really badly on HER, not Nicole. She should have taken the high road. I'm confused as to what Nicole's supposed beef is actually about - it sounds like Chrishell didn't take any commission from the disputed co-listings, so what is her problem? Sounds like she just wanted to continually pick at her because she wound up in a relationship with Jason.

I'm really not liking Chrishell as much this season, and I'm a bit sad that she and Mary have drifted apart.

I kind of thought Bre would be another Christine, but so far I'm actually liking her -she's been straightforward, and she actually  dresses a hell of a lot more professionally than the other women in the office (a low bar, I know).

Chelsea is even more annoying than ever this season. I'm sure her tiff with Bre is manufactured for the cameras because it's nonsensical.

Of all the homes this season, I did like the beach house right on the Strand the best - my idea of California living, not some mausoleum that is about to slide off of a hillside or burn up in a brushfire.

That baby of Heather's cannot come soon enough. So sick of everyone fawning over her belly.

WTF is with all of the stupid gloves this season? And Mary's obsession with Vivienne Westwood jewellery?

So very concerned for Amanza - someone facing serious real life problems. That poor woman can't catch a break.

So, when does the next season start?

I think both brothers are very handsome and probably got looks in HS, as much as anyone else. Height isn’t the be all and end all for every woman in a hetero relationship.

A bunch of agents work for the Oppenheim group that aren’t on the show (including men). They wanted to cast people that would be the most “interesting” for reality tv and wanted to be on a reality show. I don’t blame any agent for not wanting to do it, reality tv can be a curse.

Yeah Jason isn’t interested in a long term relationship. Which is fine, but I think he had no business getting with Chrishell knowing she wanted to have a baby and likely get married again. Other than that I’m not mad at Jason, he’s not hurting anyone and he’s not a jerk/asshole to the women he dates. He just doesn’t want to be with them long term.

I'm 3 episodes in and don't miss Christine at all.  Turns out the show really didn't need her after all.

This seems to be the season of homes built into the side of a cliff. All I can think about when I see those homes is what would happen if that area got hit by a large earthquake?  

[MaggieG]

I binged the entire season yesterday during my lazy Sunday. 

The outfits were even crazier. Chelsea was the worst offender. Every time she came on screen I was baffled. The skirt that didn't look like a skirt, more like something she wrapped around her waist and she couldn't sit in?? Weird pink leather outfit with pink goggles?? A white, feathery bikini top?? I could go on. Chrishell was the only one whose outfits were semi normal. 

Nicole clearly got the memo that she was the new villain and she better pick a fight with someone. 

Christine was not missed.

[John M]

Do any of these people, work? Like can they give a coherent explination of their job functions besides "I sell real estate!"

I know it is reality TV and all that, but could they at least pretend to do any actual work? Like, make a copy on occasion? Plug in their laptop?

Edited May 22, 2023 by John M

I don't think they show enough skin( j/k) Good lord, they look like they are going  to a nightclub. I didn't  care for Chelsea  last season, my mind has not changed. 

Jason, you're  not in love, and the pretty model likes the things your money  can buy. 

Chrishell  and G, hmm, it looks fake, but if she's really  happy,  good for her. I really liked her friendship  with Mary. 

I don't  remember  Nicole at all.

Bingo! I would never buy one for that reason, and then as we saw from the insane insurance quote, there's also the issue of fire. No thank you. Not that it's ever going to be an option for me anyway Lol.

[Slider]

For some reason, when I ended the season, it automatically started again with Season 1, Episode 1, and I didn't recognize any of them!  They dressed professionally - not like strippers.  It has escalated into the ridiculous, and it's kind of sad.  I know it's reality TV and they are trying to get attention, but enough is enough.  If you go back to the beginning and see their appearance, yes you have the outrageous shoes, but that was it!

That takes the prize for being  the most ridiculous  thing I've seen worn on this show. If you can't  sit in it, why would  anyone  wear it. Ugh.

[zenithwit]

Just got to the drug accusation part.  I think Nicole's reaction of getting a drug test/consult a lawyer is one of someone not used to being a reality TV show figure.  

If a similar and extremely public allegation was made of a private individual and professional real estate attorney, it would absolutely have a devastating impact on their career.  And considering legal recourse would be reasonable in that case.  In the faux reality of the reality TV world, being on the receiving end of a drug accusation is a jackpot for more screentime, increased Instagram followers and potentially a sponcon by the Mexican Cartel.  

While I do think Chrishell was out of line for the drug accusation, she was clearly expecting Nicole to dish it back.   I think Nicole needs to decide if she truly wants to continue in reality TV and how that will impact her real estate career.  Also, I wonder if her husband is a lawyer and maybe that's where some of the protection measures came in?

[dancingdreamer]

I think  Nicole is a shrew. I don't  like her, I'll even  take Chelsea over her. Nicole keeps  bringing  up something  from 3 years ago, that's obviously  been eating  away at her. Jason drew up the contract up, go and bellyache  to him.

If Mary can't  handle  being manager,  maybe say so, and the job can go to someone  else. 

I love to swim, to get up, walk out to the infinity  pool, would be great. ( sigh)
