"I think about the Roman Empire a lot when I am watching Selling Sunset, a show I do believe heralds the end of our civilization in much the same way: no society that puts 12 bathrooms in one house can survive. This season, the comparison becomes particularly apropos as Jason and Brett Oppenheim - the ostensible leaders of the Oppenheim Group - realize that exercising"
"Chrishell is obviously the show's strongest leader, partially because she is so pretty, cool, and everyone is in love with her a little bit. Emma and Chelsea are endlessly loyal to her, a fact underlined in the very first scene when we meet up with them at a listing on N. Doheny Drive that, as of this writing, is still available to anyone looking for a stove that's tricky to use for no reason and practically no outdoor space."
The Roman Empire's sprawling size became unmanageable as regional leaders gained power, leading to collapse. Selling Sunset parallels that breakdown as Jason and Brett Oppenheim realize eight seasons of minimal oversight have let agent behavior spiral. The lack of centralized authority reaches a frantic peak in the first two episodes as rival leaders vie for control. Chrishell emerges as the show's strongest leader, supported loyally by Emma and Chelsea. A Doheny Drive listing underscores tensions. Chelsea reveals her seven-year marriage ended after her husband was seen kissing another woman. Emma continues to contend with Nicole's rumor that she is a 'husband snatcher,' and Nicole's constant attempts to manufacture drama impede reconciliation.
