As someone who has been following the ups and downs of these Selling Sunset ladies for quite some time now, I must say, this latest drama feels like a Shakespearean tragedy unfolding before our very eyes! Amanza’s birthday party turned out to be more about power plays and old feuds than celebration.
Napoleon’s choice to invade Russia in 1812 marked the start of his downfall. Driven by a string of successful battles that gave him an inflated sense of indestructibility, he diverted his efforts from battling Britain to confront a former ally as relations deteriorated. Despite having over half a million soldiers, the Russian army declined to confront him, instead drawing Napoleon’s forces further and further into their land; scarcity, heat, illness, poor morale, and eventually an early winter joined forces with their understaffed defense to bring about the disaster. Just like Napoleon’s ill-fated campaign, Chelsea’s decision to quarrel with Mary over being called a troublemaker on Instagram Live seems unwise. It might have been sensible if she had no other concerns or had assessed her adversary more thoughtfully before engaging. However, arguing with Mary is not only dull, her passive-aggressive strategies are distracting Chelsea from the real danger: Bre.
After their explosive encounter in the season finale, Bre confides in Chrishell during a soak in an ice bath that Chelsea has tried to be friendly towards her in social settings. However, this gesture doesn’t seem to make much of an impact on Bre, but it leaves room for a tentative truce. “I’m not ruling out the possibility of giving her another chance,” Bre tells Chrishell before deciding to return to work with a customary chest bump. Yet, she shares with the camera that they won’t be engaging in close friendship activities any time soon. “You are as cold as ice!” Chrishell comments when she leaves the freezing pool where Bre is relaxing – this foreshadows the chilly dynamic between these two characters, reminiscent of a Gothic novel or “docusoap” like Frankenstein.
As for Chelsea, she’s entirely engrossed in her conflict with Mary, giving no thought to any potential hostility from Bre. Her attention is so entangled in this seemingly doomed battle against an adversary who refuses direct confrontation, she neglects her expensive Birkin bag on the railing of another luxurious Manhattan Beach home priced at a staggering $30 million (it’s amazing how many properties in this area cost exactly that much!).
As a fan, I’ve got to say, this show sure does have some impressive houses up for grabs – or so they claim! Alanna, the sheriff of Pioneertown, seems eager to dive into this real estate game eventually. But first, she’s got her hands full helping Brett’s clients complete the renovation of a property that originally cost $2.8 million. That’s just the beginning; unexpected costs skyrocket as they demolish the house and attempt to resell it for a whopping $8 million. However, before these clients can reap the benefits of their non-existent labor, Alanna needs to finish the “Find Trees” side quest – essentially, she’s on a mission to locate some large trees to beautify the property since it’s located near several roads and lacks any substantial yard space. Guess that’s what you get when all you can afford is an $8 million mansion!
In the end, Mary and Chelsea are about to present their high-value $29.9 million Manhattan Beach listing, a highly anticipated event we’ve been anticipating for two whole episodes. Since the start, Mary seems eager to stir trouble: She worries about Chelsea’s tardiness, complains about handling everything on her own (essentially watching the staff arrange a charcuterie board), until eventually, she finds fault with Chelsea arriving without any clothes on.
In a more casual and simplified version: Although Chelsea’s outfit might appear to lack pants due to her wearing short shorts under a long jacket, it’s inappropriate to say she’s exposing too much. It’s only slightly revealing when viewed closely, especially considering the workplace environment is somewhat relaxed, being near a beach. However, Mary uses this opportunity to get back at Chelsea for their disagreement by reporting her clothing to their bosses during an event, causing potential embarrassment. This work environment, where explicit content like Chrishell’s exposed nipple and jokes about Jason seeing Nicole naked are common, makes such a complaint seem incredibly petty. To her credit, Chelsea chooses the mature route, leaving the gathering without addressing her issues with Mary in the following staff meeting, despite being encouraged to do so by Jason and Brett. In essence, Chelsea is holding out hope for resolution, similar to Napoleon outside Moscow.
Amidst all the buzz surrounding topics like butts and nipples, it seems hardly anyone is giving attention to Amanza’s birthday party. Many people are forgetting to respond to the invitation, with only Chrishell confirming her attendance. However, Chrishell makes it known that she won’t be coming if Amanza’s stylist is there because he made disrespectful comments about her online. Despite this stylist providing his services for free to Amanza, she removes him from the guest list in a decision that appears more like a plot point rather than a genuine consideration.
It’s crucial for the storyline that Chrishell is the one at the party who encourages Mary to confront Chelsea about their disagreement, even though everyone seems exceptionally drunk. This argument is pointless, and things get worse because Romain, who usually keeps quiet since his days with Davina, has become more vocal on this show. Unfortunately, he isn’t skilled at resolving conflicts, and his involvement next to Mary isn’t a sign of interest in Chelsea’s perspective but rather hostility. It seems possible that Chelsea is correct, but Mary dislikes her intensely, making the attention she’s given to this back-and-forth feel like an unnecessary waste of energy. It’s like sending troops to an empty and burning Moscow.
In walks Amanda Lynn, a character known for her eye-catching pink denim dress from season seven and one of the rare old friends of Bre’s she doesn’t harbor intense anger towards. However, Amanda Lynn is also infamous for being one of the most malicious individuals I’ve encountered on television. At a coffee shop, she greets Bre with news about Chelsea’s husband allegedly kissing another woman in the W Hotel lobby. Although Amanda Lynn claims this information came from a resident of the hotel, her “text proof” seems more like a message she received from an employee there – a term like “one of our female residents” doesn’t sound like something you’d casually use to describe a neighbor to a friend. It’s hard to picture anyone being friends with Amanda Lynn, given her unbridled glee over the prospect of Chelsea’s family (consisting of children who have never caused harm) facing potential turmoil.
As a movie enthusiast, I’m doing my best to show that Bre seems torn about how to proceed with this information and genuinely empathizes with Chelsea’s situation. However, Amanda Lynn exudes an unsettling malice that undermines any good intentions Bre might have. It’s almost as if she’s chuckling when she reads out that he was kissing a “28-year-old girl, and she was quite attractive.” If Chelsea had set aside her fruitless quarrel with Mary and focused on reconciliation with Bre, perhaps she wouldn’t be in this predicament now. If Napoleon had returned sooner, maybe all of Europe would still belong to France. These are questions only historians and reality-TV producers can answer, but one thing is certain: winter is approaching rapidly on the Eastern front, and Chelsea is ill-prepared for the chill.
Unlisted Observations
Insights Gathered on Alanna: Originating from Canada, she is the proprietor of a locale known as Pioneertown, and she appears to be unconcerned about the state of her lip liner.
• Z List Celebrity Who Pretended to Almost Buy a House: Sofia Franklyn.
• Chrishell and Emma sitting across from Chelsea to do their gossip at the coffee place is so high school in a way that — much like the Taylor Swift song — it seems like it would be annoying but is strangely so cute.
• “Nicole Scherzinger was G’s gay awakening.” This show is so topical sometimes.
I thoroughly enjoy Amanza’s birthday celebration. It’s delightful to witness an ordinary gathering without fire performers, exotic dancers, or live creatures. Instead, it was simply friends in a bar, and a flower-made cake – just as nature intended!
Nicole acting so intoxicated that she attempts to hoist Jason overhead marks a refreshing deviation from the usual actions we’ve observed Nicole performing.
