Selling Sunset

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.

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.

I enjoy watching this show even though it's a bit cringe inducing at times. What I can't stand is the massively uninspired, non-stop "boss chick" soundtrack. It's painful and constant and borderline ruins the show. Every scene.

Aside from that, the drama does feel relatively believable for the most part. The pacing is well done and the show stays entertaining throughout the seasons. Real estate is actually a pretty small part of the show, so if you're looking for an HGTV type of experience, odds are you will not find what you're looking for here. That said the inner workings of the real estate industry are discussed which can be cool to see.

Don't get me wrong, I do agree that these are some of the most shallow people you will ever see. Their arguments are ridiculous, their vocabulary is comparable to that of a 5 year old and the LA accent? Don't get me started. They act like they're curing cancer 80% of the time and the charity thing they did was laughable. The dinner afterwards was more expensive than the donation made. All that being said, it is incredibly entertaining to see the lifestyles of the rich and famous LA realtors and the cattiness that goes on behind the scenes. So you may very well lose a few brain cells along the way, but it will be worth it.

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!
