The Oppenheim Group's sassy and successful female realtors from Los Angeles return in season 8 of Selling Sunset. Premiered on September 6, 2024, the season promises to bring more high-end real estate listings and personal drama.
In the latest installment, the agents demonstrate their expertise yet again in luxury real estate and deal with interpersonal issues that appear to worsen with each episode. The returning cast members include Chrishell Stause, Mary Fitzgerald, Emma Hernan, Amanza Smith, Chelsea Lazkani, Bre Tiesi, and Nicole Young. All these agents work for Jason and Brett Oppenheim.
3 major takeaways in Selling Sunset season 8
1) Nicole’s drama continues
In Selling Sunset season 8, Nicole Young’s involvement remains one of the most discussed aspects of the show. Her interactions with her co-stars continue to stir conflict, particularly her unresolved issues with Chrishell Stause.
In episode 4, Nicole sends a passive-aggressive message in a group chat, leading to a confrontation with Chrishell. Her message references the ongoing conflicts and accuses Chrishell of spreading negativity. This escalates into a heated discussion among the cast.
"I’m tired of being attacked for things that aren’t my fault," Nicole states.
"If you want to talk about it, let’s do it face-to-face rather than hiding behind a screen," Chrishell responds.
The tension continues in episode 5 during a face-to-face meeting where Nicole and Chrishell address their issues directly. Nicole brings up past grievances, and Chrishell responds:
“You need to let go of these old issues if we are going to work together.”
Despite attempts by other cast members to mediate and restore harmony, Nicole’s refusal to move past these concerns leads to further discord.
2) Bre Tiesi and Chelsea Lazkani’s conflict
Another important takeaway from this season is the revelation Bre Tiesi makes about Chelsea Lazkani's husband. During a conversation, Bre informs Chelsea that her husband was seen kissing someone in the hotel lobby. This news shocks Chelsea, who is visibly upset but maintains composure.
Bre, who has previously dealt with infidelity in her own relationships, shares her personal history to frame her actions. She explains:
“I’ve been through this myself and wanted to bring it to light because it’s important for Chelsea to know.”
This development also influences the dynamics of Chelsea’s relationship with Bre.
3) The Pioneertown trip
Selling Sunset season 8 cast members go on a vacation to Pioneertown, a popular western-themed property owned by Alanna and her husband. This trip offers the cast a break from their high-stakes professional lives and an opportunity for bonding.
However, the trip quickly becomes fraught with tension. Nicole Young, aiming to address ongoing conflicts, raises allegations about Emma Hernan’s personal life. She insinuates that Emma may be involved in a relationship with a married man, discussing this topic during a dinner gathering.
Nicole specifically mentions rumors about Emma and a person named Jenn from Orange County. This discussion causes friction among the group and diverts the vacation's focus from relaxation to drama.
All past seasons of Selling Sunset are also available to watch on Netflix. All 11 episodes of season 8 started streaming on the platform on September 6, 2024.
