Thank you,
@Thelaalaa for creating this thread!
I LOVE this show! I'm up to episode 6, and feel like it flows a lot better than Selling Sunset and Selling The OC. The music isn't so grating, either. It feels more like watching Million Dollar Listing experience-wise (the power of having a different production team, I guess).
I agree that Farrah seems resentful of Alexia. As does that guy Bill (Bob?) ... who keeps mentioning nepotism.
I have to wonder why they recruited the American Idol finalist - she's just so immature and doesn't have the same drive that the other junior agent has. And what does she do all day? She's obviously not at the level where she can go looking for listings or hold open homes ...
Alexia really stuffed up Shayna's open home - she was just full of, "um, um ..." That said, I do think she is very charming and funny. More so than Farrah, who seems very full of herself and is depressing to watch. Ditto in the case of that other shite stirrer agent who's staying with Farrah - ugh; get rid!
I love Mauricio's energy and laid-back style - I think he's neat. I haven't watched Housewives in years because the likes of Teddi and Dorit ruined it for me, but I do like Kyle and would love to see a show about her and her family alone. Appreciate I'm probably in the minority here in saying this! I did find it interesting that when Mauricio gave the back story to how The Agency came to be, he left out that he had actually worked as an agent at another brokerage prior (Hilton and Hyland); nor did he didn't mention that they traveled troubled waters a few years back, during which they lost a lot of their key staff (

Did anyone else notice that when he told American Idol girl not to laugh because it makes her look immature (or did he say that to the other guys when he met them at his house - whatever the situation was, he said it) - yet, he did exactly that when he grabbed the phone of that other junior agent, trying to get said agent's aunt to give them the listing ... he said something then laughed.
The former family home looked so neglected without all the furniture and accessories. I remember Kyle's house from the first season of RHoBH and that was far nicer ... it had a lot of Oriental touches. I gather Millvale was in a far better neighbourhood but even so ...
