Netflix is leading the charge in the streaming era, and while it's nice to see that they have been able to be a home for shows from yesteryear, what they have done with original programming has been truly amazing. Just look at the success of projects like Daredevil and Orange is the New Black.
Selling Sunset has been a huge hit for Netflix, and the series just aired its fourth season. Christine Quinn is the villain of the show, but people are curious about the legitimacy of the drama with Christine.
So, is the Christine drama all made up? Let's take a look and see.
'Selling Sunset' Is A Huge Hit
Since its series debut back in 2019, Selling Sunset has seemingly grown in popularity, which has been great for the folks at Netflix. This series has real estate, drama, and even the occasional celebrity appearance. Because of this, millions tune in when a new season drops.
The show is all about shining a light on the inner workings of the Oppenheim Group, which is a real estate brokerage in Southern California. They focus on the most luxurious pads in the area, and the brothers running the show, Jason and Brett, have assembled a beautiful and talented team over time.
Some of the major players on the show include Chrishell, Heather, Mary, and Christine, all of whom have had a sizable impact on the show. As cool as it is to tour the houses, the show really cranks into high gear when the drama between the brokers ensures, and believe us when we say that there is plenty of drama to go around.
Despite there being plenty of people on the show, it sure seems like everyone has had beef with Christine.
Everyone Has A Problem With Christine Quinn
If you've seen any episodes or any type of coverage regarding Selling Sunset, then you're no doubt aware of the fact that Christine is the show's villain. At this point, she's beefing with just about everyone on the show, and it has genuinely made for some compelling TV for the fans.
Christine herself acknowledged her role, saying, "I was cast in that mold, and the producers said to me multiple times, 'Well, you’re the villain.' So this is what people want to see. I don’t really feel like I’m the villain in real life, because I’m the only one who’s willing to express my opinion."
Talk about understanding the assignment. She has been brilliant in her role, but fans do need to keep in mind that what is entertainment for them is a reality for someone else. In this case, it's the reality of Christine and the rest of the cast.
Christine, despite knowing that she is the villain, does think that the show's editing does her absolutely no favors.
"There's many times where in the show I say certain things but they don't want to have another person respond to me, so sometimes they'll do an interview clip. I'm just like, why can't I ever get a word in sometimes? … I feel like there's definitely favoritism in the editing room. And that is what it is on the show, but I do the best [I can]," she said.
Is It All Made Up?
Now for the million dollar question: is the drama between Christine and the rest of the cast of Selling Sunset fake? It sure doesn't seem like it.
Though it may seem over-the-top and, quite frankly, ridiculous, the drama that has brewed between our favorites seems very real.
Christine and Chrishell have been quite public about their dislike of one another, and Christine and Heather have gotten into it in the media, as well. Things have even gotten quite personal with these barbs. Sure, some might say that it's simply an elaborate ruse, but considering how personal things have gotten, we cannot imagine that they would all willingly play the part without giving any type of hints about the show being scripted.
Now, the show might not be scripted, but this doesn't mean that the producers don't do their best to get the most out of the cast and the roles they play.
As Davina said on her social media, "The show isn’t scripted If it was, I would be pissed! Who wrote that plot twist?! But seriously, they can sometimes nudge us to address things, but what we say is all us. Beware anyone that says otherwise. Gotta own it.”
Selling Sunset has some real drama and some real characters, and it has been the perfect storm for Netflix. The hype for next season is for real at this point.
