Selling Sunset Season 8!!

[MermaidEyes]

Can't find a new thread on this, so thought I'd start one.

Anyone ready for season 8 of Selling Sunset airing this week?!
I follow Chrishell on Instagram and there seems to be some real drama going off between her, Emma, Chelsea and Nicole.
Also, I didn't realise Chelsea was getting divorced!

We used to like Crishelle too, but it feels as though she thinks she is the untouchable golden girl.

I felt Crishelle was too much of a victim character previously. I liked her better on season 8 although absolutely re the golden girl. They’re all playing their characters well.

Agree with this. She's mastered the doe eyed, demure, innocent thing well. While happily sticking the knife in. I think it helps that for Jason she's the One He Let Get Away.

I often think Nicole brings some of the shit on to herself but that scene in the office was almost like a medieval public flogging. What she did showed severely bad judgement I don't believe for a second she intended to be homophobic however her upset while the hyenas circled her was real. And not one of them checked she was ok after. Horrible bullying.

And the discussion regarding Amanzas stylist after what Amanza has been through , yay Chrishell how about you make this all about you too.

Christ at least with Chelsey you generally know where you stand.

And if Emma has been shagging a married man, after her nasty behaviour it will be interesting to watch the fallout of her hypocrisy.

I hate the baby girl high pitched voice Chrishell does when she's trying to act all nice "Hiiiiiii how are you?" Kind of thing

I also didn't agree with the stylist thing. She might have an issue with him but he's obviously Amanza's friend and it's no one else's business to police other people's friends, even if you don't like them. You can guarantee she wouldn't have given a shit what he said before G Flip came on the scene.

Absolutely. Also when she accused Jasons ex (young pretty German model - jealous much, Crishell?) of misgendering G last season

I've just watched an Instagram interview where she says she's been diagnosed with a septum uterus which apparently means she's highly unlikely to be able to carry a baby to full term. She says the fact she got pregnant with her now adult son is a miracle. So might explain why she's not mentioned it this season.

plus she must be nearly 50 by now

@EachandEveryone

According to Google Mary is 44!

I’m highly suspicious of Nicole supposedly being 38…

It’s batshit and I love it.

I find that Mary has an odd way of speaking, as thigh she has learned lines in a chunk and has to say then like that. It's quite staccato. The whole Crishelle taking a photo in the office and accidentally flashing as she raised her arms seemed to be such a set-up. I can't remember any other time when they took photos in the office, just the time she happened to be wearing the cut off blazer.
They now seem to be wearing the most miniscule items of clothing or the horrendous huge outfits with trailing sleeves and trouser legs.

I admit I love the trashy show though 🤪

Not ashamed to say that I'm rewatching it from the beginning.

The first season is so nice and naive. Everyone- even Christine is dressed "normally" and Nichole pops up quite a bit in the run up to Mary's wedding. I'd forgotten all about that.

Utterly batshit tv

Do they buy their own clothes?

They mostly borrow them according to this interview with Bre last year

”When you say investment, we’re talking about, I could have bought a property, like a down payment. This show is not cheap by any means. And I think that’s good for people to know. We have stylists, so you’re not necessarily paying for these items. I don’t own every single thing that I wear. Did I pick it? Did I style it? Do I have taste? Yes, but I didn’t necessarily go and buy that $20,000 suit. I will buy staples if my stylist brings something to me and I’m like, “Yes, I need those for my closet.” A lot of looks are just based off of what’s trending and these are pieces that you don’t necessarily always want to wear again. So, it’s nice that you do have a stylist where you can give it back.”

They do have about 80 agents, you can see them all on the O group website. Bre seems likeable, was impressed she was giving her son plain water. They didn’t seem to call out Emma for her alleged behavior. Maya was a welcome return.

I like Maya but she is a serious shit stirrer

I'm watching this!

I think it's evident that Chelsea knew more when Bre told her. Clearly there's been an agreement on how this is going to be played out on the show.

I find Chelsea domineering, she talks endlessly and talks over people, and talks about how open and honest she is. It's exhausting to listen to.

I found Chrishelle's group struggle session with Nicole disturbing. She is using one evident misjudged moment to smear her character as homophobic when I think it's quite clear she doesn't really believe Nicole is homophobic. She also used 'homophobia' to control Amanza and demand compliance in exchange for her friendship. She is certainly using her new found sexual identity to control and humiliate others, all whilst playing it so sweetly. I've really gone off her.
I've also gone right off Emma. She and Chrishelle are giving off real mean girl teenage vibes. Using female friendship as bargaining tool for access to the in group and an obsession with who we like/ don't like, who's broken the code, who's in and out.
It's unattractive behaviour for teenage girls never mind in grown women.

I presume however they are all trying to ensure a central storyline in the series so are playing a role & we're basically being manipulated. Willingly.

Bre comes across well. A bit more self aware. A sense of separation from the games and having a real life outside that. I think she's using the exposure it gives her more wisely.

Alanna seems nervous and try hard. Which is understandable. Did you pick up on Amanza telling her to calm down and saying 'thank God there's something you're not amazing at?' on the Pioneer town weekend? She is obviously trying too hard to impress.

Amanza is the most naturally funny, the most beautiful, and obviously so creative. Her outfits aren't fashion they are art. She's refreshingly self deprecating amongst all the Californian self promotion.They obviously keep her in it for her personality, as she seems to not really care about real estate at all!

@StrawberryWasp I love Amanza. I have a lot of admiration for her single handedly bringing up her kids and trying to forge a career in interior design. She's one of the most refreshing and down to earth.

I think Amanza’s problem is that she’s just a bit naive and less reality savvy as the others which makes her quite real.

Agree that Bre is likeable. She’s quite pragmatic and seems honest. You can see she’s been as wise as possible about when she’s filming and not just filming to create drama by ducking out of events which also shows how set up the Chelsea stuff was.

Mary I feel just comes across as quite clueless and not the sharpest but I think it’s good for her to take a step back from the main drama and her and Romain can be more business than drama.

I noticed in the Crishelle rant she actually said ‘she’ when referring to GFlip and not ‘they’. Mis-speaking there.

Oh was that in the show? Cause I was watching an Instagram clip of her after she came out of her boob job replacement surgery and is out of it and she calls G “she” then too. It’s funny how despite all the posturing about non-binary everyone still knows who’s male and who’s female.

I watched an American talk show clip where Bre said that she brought the affair to Emma in December and asked her to tell Chelsea, but she refused. So bre spoke to Chelsea off camera in December. Then the producers decided to bring Amanda in and made it look like this was the first time bre was hearing it. Shows how much the show is scripted. I still love it though!

I came on this thread because I'm completely baffled as why Chelsea hates Bre for telling her about her cheating husband? Bre was clear that she didn't know Amanda was going to say it on air...?

Because Chelsea is trying to make out that Bre 'brought it to camera' and was told and then told her 'on camera' when she should have told her private news away from the camera.

However as I think I said in a previous post there is no way from a welfare point of view something like that would have been broadcast without the participants knowing. Do you really think Chelsea would have agreed to be filmed talking to Bre without knowing what was going to be said first and agreeing to it? Would Bre really take a phone call from a close friend who had 'something really important to tell her' but not push for detail until they met in a filmed setting?

From what I understand all the filming took place Feb/Match this year (which is confirmed when you consider when the bad weather in LA was) and Bre states she told Chelsea away from the camera in December and had initially asked Emma to tell her who refused.

It's all set up drama for the camera.
