Selling Sunset

This is good background or space-out TV sometimes after a long day as it's not relatable or emotionally touching in any way.

I was in my late teens when Laguna Beach and then The Hills were popular, so it's also a bit of a throwback to watch this. It is very similar in that it is fake yet vain and self-indulgent at the same time. It's very strange to see a group of adults, even working professionals, in situations similar to The Hills-how can anyone find it real or take it seriously? It's pretty simple: a small, maybe awkward or unkind moment happens between two characters and then the next several episodes are focused on discussions about the situation. Most of these situations would be forgiven in forgotten quickly in real life. For example, there is an episode on S2 where a woman is at her engagement party, but takes the time to talk with her friends about the status of a disagreement with another co-worker who she is not close with. Why in the world would someone focus their energy on something so silly on a big personal day?

Despite these critiques it is a simple show and I can see why some enjoy it.

The main characters' outfits and the houses are fun to look at.

Watching these plastic fantastic superficial women sell over the top houses is a guilty pleasure. You won't feel intellectually challenged, but it is very easy to watch. Some keywords to summarize this show: Boytoy, barbies, botox, backstabbing.

Ambition. That's it.

You get your dream house, dream body, dream job, dream husband, then what?

You hate it all, and then you create drama because you're bored or even worse, you backstab others because you crave what they've got that you don't, and all of that because you're too busy climbing the social ladder and therefore EMPTY.

You need to have a heart in order to enjoy the fruits of your ambition.

Gosh what a culture!

This is a great program if you like cat fights and witchy women. This program shows the lifestyle and catynis of women working together in close proximately with one another. They are full blown witches trying to outshine one another while they backstab each other to further their place in this small, no privacy office in LA. They make good money, drive nice cars and wear expensive fashion. The real estate side is minimal. It's mostly about the women scratching each others eyes out. It's good for a laugh and remember, everything is relative. You make good commissions but you pay top dollar for the lifestyle.

These are some of the worst kinds of people in the worst kind of trashy 'hills' style show where every one is a total b*tch, everything is completely staged and you want to bash your head against the screen to make it stop.

And I hate myself for how much I enjoyed watching it. It really is awful, but I watched it all in like 2 days.

Makes me wish I was living in LA and selling real estate to rich idiots. If only I weren't ugly.
