Selling the OC

What is the purpose of this show? Watching toxic people argue ... with occasional clips of luxury real estate?

"Selling Sunset" is kind of a guilty pleasure, so I watched this show hoping it would be a similar experience. It wasn't. The show is too focused on the petty squabbles of a handful of immature young agents. Many of them are new to selling real estate in OC.

Orange County also doesn't have world-famous iconic locations and celebrity-connections like Los Angeles. So the homes don't have that extra flair that homes in "Selling Sunset" or "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" do.

The show can still work - but the people have to be more interesting and there needs to more of the high-stakes nature of the biz: getting these coveted listings, negotiating high-dollar deals and all the wild / crazy problems that come up at the last minute.

But that's not what they've done. So for now, if you like watching human train-wrecks slug it out, this is your show. Given all the poor reviews I've seen, I hope the producers don't think everyone who watched season 1 will show up for season 2. This show needs some re-tooling.

The rating is > 1 for the real stars - the beautiful homes in OC.

Most of the cast is very negative and intense. I am not sure how anyone sells houses with all of the toxicity. It's awful and extreme. Terrible cast members made the most of the show and it wasn't really about the houses or anything positive. The people naming bullies are the bullies and the way Alex Hall and Polly speak to people is beyond disgusting I am not sure why anyone allows them to have a televised job. There is tv drama and there are toxic people. This is next level and they are really abusive towards other cast members. I wish someone would do something to not allow such behavior while filming or be put out into the world. I was looking forward to this after selling sunset....this shouldn't be renewed it was hard to watch such angry and hostile people treat others with such abuse and not be asked to stop by anyone who could stop it.

Love love love Selling Sunset. The women are gorgeous, stylish and classy whether they like each other or and they are professional in front of clients and Brett and Jason. We watched Selling OC hoping to see glamorous homes, the yachts, the cars, the glitter... some of that we got (thank you!) but the mean spirited drama, gaslighting, bullying was unwanted (shame on you Alex Hall, Polly!). Similar to RHOC to much focus on drama for dramas sake. Hopefully Netflix takes the trash out next season as bullying and sl*tshaming women is not entertaining viewing.

There's no way these aren't just actors. I can't imagine a "luxury real estate" company would go out their way to put up with the amount of drama that is shoved down the viewers throat. Maybe they'd actually sell a house if they spent half the amount of time arguing actually towards their job. Instead, they'll show 3 clips of a overpriced wardrobe with some drone shot of the construction in front of the house and call it a day for the real estate. Not everything needs to be a cesspit of drama filled reality tv. When they show the properties it's good though, so.. 3 star.

These shallow people claiming to represent Newport Beach are just transplants trying to change it to fit their own vanity. I couldn't afford to live where I grew up, so I had to move away from my friends and family. Am I bitter? Yup. Now these people get a show glamorizing their form of gentrification.

Please stop giving people like this shows? I would love to see the realities of the hustle of actual real estate agents. That would be interesting. Not a show of people getting in and out of their Ferrari's.

Why do reviews need to contain 600 characters? I ran out of things to talk about in this shallow show.
