Summary
Selling The OC is an entertaining reality TV series, but a few clues suggest some drama on it is fake. The Netflix series premiered in 2022 and has already become one of the most popular shows in its genre. The show features agents from real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group navigating everyday real estate challenges. The first two seasons are a must-watch as they feature memorable incidents like friendly feuds, blowout fights, love drama, and more. One of the most notable moments comes from season 2, where best friend duo Alexandra Jarvis and Alexandra Rose fell out after a heated argument.
Selling The OC is known for its moments that make it stand out from its predecessor, Selling Sunset. One of those moments was when Tyler Stanaland confessed his interest in Alex Hall at Polly Brindle’s birthday party; this was completely unexpected. Another shocking moment came in Selling The OC season 2, where Ali Harper dared Gio Helou to catwalk in a tight bikini after her first successful sale. While the challenge was absurd, Gio may go through with it next season. Viewers must already be excited for Selling The OC season 3 and waiting for it to premiere next year.
Clues The Show’s Scenes Might Be Staged
With all the drama and awkward scenes, viewers have asked if Selling The OC is scripted. Unfortunately, some evidence suggests the reality TV series is indeed somewhat fake. Over the months, Selling The OC has featured amateur editing errors that break the continuity. One segment between Kayla Cardona and Sean Palmieri showed the objects around their table changing between cuts. The beverages kept appearing and disappearing, a clear example of their scene not being seamless. Something similar happened in a scene between Alex and Polly when they discussed her kiss with Tyler.
The Drama’s Popping Offscreen Too
Apart from dodgy editing, there are also signs the drama isn’t totally real. One example is Tyler’s public flirting with Alex, Polly, and Kayla in both seasons. It seemed like he was portraying a character to create drama while continuing his real-life marriage with Brittany Snow, his ex-wife. Tyler and Brittany have recently divorced, and Brittany didn’t imply the reason was infidelity. She said (via Stylecaster), “this decision was made with love and mutual respect for one another.” Viewers also question when Ali (a model and Miss Tennessee winner) got hired by the agency without a license. Someone commented on Twitter (via @BeeBabs), “this is all very fake.”
What The Cast Has Said About Their Storylines
Previously, Jason Oppenheim claimed that the scenes are timed for cameras but aren’t part of a script. He said (via Pop Buzz), “in some situations, if some things need to be addressed or we’re meeting a client or something, we’ll be asked to wait to make sure if we get everything on camera.” Jason shared that none of the real estate agents follow a script. In comparison, Christine Quinn from Selling Sunset has claimed her show forged “fake” storylines. The contrasting views from cast members make it hard to figure out if the show is real or fake. However, Selling The OC is likely somewhere in between, similar to other reality TV shows.
Selling The OC season 2 is available to stream on Netflix.
