I've just binged both seasons & I am obsessed, I don't want to wait til August to see how it all pans out.

I was on the fence about Christine but I love her, she's a lovable witch. Chrishelle bugged me in the second season & I don't know why. I'm on the fence with Heather, I like her but there is something about her I'm not sure on. Don't like Davina, she's wooden to me, she doesn't add anything imo. I love Maya, think she's my favourite, love her one liners & so lovely to see her with a baby.

I'm so jealous of these houses (& commission!).

Nobody else thinking Mary maybe takes something... she doesn’t seem entirely sober sometimes.

Yes! She wasn't like this last season. Her behaviour is odd. Sometimes she talks as if she's had dental work done recently; other times she jerks around a lot as if she has insects wriggling under her clothing. When she was trying to get that listing, she seemed very lacking in confidence - not at all as she normally is. And why did she keep saying it was her dream home? It wasn't as if she was buying it ...

I feel like Chryshell gets most of the attention - probably because of her acting career and (ex) husband.

Christine is so dishonest, using her fiance's credit card like that. She's just an empty shell to me - just there.

The new one (was married to the football player) seems lovely - she has a real fighting spirit.

Heather is stupid. It's so weird that her new boyfriend's ex-wife looks like a carbon copy of her (better looking and nicer personality though). You have to wonder what he was thinking. He has a heck of a lot of baggage, too.

Jason and Brett really love themselves. Brett (or is it Jason?) is obviously still incredibly in love with Mary; he should just admit that and stop being a party boy. I can't see Mary's marriage lasting - she seems lovely, but Romain seems to want to call the shots. It's a bit awkward to watch.

Davina is blah. She doesn't seem like a "model" to me? I don't know why they didn't leave her in the background this season too (like they did last season).

It's weird how none of the listings on their website are attributed to agents; it's like they're all pooled (whoever answers the phone gets to show the property). I'm sure it doesn't work like that though.

Mia is okay but I don't get ALL the love for her. She works part-time for Douglas Elliman in Miami (where her husband is based), which seems like a weird work set-up (Oppenheimer Group aren't affiliated with Douglas Elliman as far as I can tell ...).

The women don't actually seem to make that much money. Mary's condo from season 1 was nice, but pretty average; Chrishell's house is lovely but she has a solid acting career behind her; Christine's now-house is nice but that's due to her fiance ... all the cars are obviously leased (although Heather was apparently gifted hers by her boyfriend after one month of dating - and leasing is probably a smart move in any case, as the cars are used mainly for business) ... it all seems very fake. At least the agents on Million Dollar Listing are legitimately wealthy.

Omg so glad I have found this thread. I’ve been binge watching all weekend and now I have 3 episodes left and feel like I’ve got to take it slow because I don’t want it to end!

Davina is the only natural one out of them which is why she doesn’t fit in.

Not feeling Mary. She looks ok but trampy with her tattoos, she’s desperate and a bit fake if I’m honest.

i need to get an early night but I’ve found them on Instagram so I’m going to have to save the stalking for another night 😂

I just started watching and the guy in the first episode is SO CREEPY. He is honestly trying to blackmail her into dating him?

I read an opinion piece where the author was questioning whether they were "realtors with benefits" :sick: (Not that I'm saying Mia (Maia?) is like that, but that seems to be the angle the producers were going for at times).

After last year's first season aired, I had a look through the agency's website. They employed heaps of regular-looking everyday people at the time, who appear to no longer be there now judging by the website (what we don't see is upstairs, where there's a large open-plan working environment). There's one guy who doesn't get any TV time at all on this show, but he does You Tube videos and said he probably makes around $150k from selling real estate (and he's one of their top guys), and $850k from You Tube. I found that interesting - but believable - don't forget the 3% (or whatever it is), has to be halved with the broker (usually from another agency), then the agent has to split their commission with Jason and Brett ... whatever that might be.

That broker guy "Shawn" from this season gives me the creeps (the one who secured Mary's wedding venue).

I agree, I think there would be a very fine line especially with this much money on the line. I'm sure many of them would never, Maya seemed deeply uncomfortable for example. I'm also sure many do though.

Also Davina is a witch. Actually the worst person on the show. I don't understand why any of them want to work with her.

Currently bingeing S2 & absolutely loving it!!! Pure escapism, those properties are AMAZING!

I can’t work out whether Mary has a coke habit or she’s had a bad nose job & can’t breathe properly because she keeps doing a weird sniff 🤔 Her fiancé is an arse! So typically French, pig-headed!

I can’t believe Christine is THAT catty in RL & someone hasn’t punched her pretty little face! I’m sure she’s the scripted ‘baddie’. Something about her relationship is weird, like giving me ‘escort’ vibes...

I like Chrishell. I also like Amanza, she’s a bit quirky

Jason/Brett (I can’t tell the difference) give me the creeps & they look so ridiculous when they’re stood by the girls in their skyscraper heels because they’re all of 3ft anyway 😂

I can’t wait for S3!!!

Christine got so much more fancy in S2 but it's ridiculously fake. The fur shawls, little dresses and her hair so overdone, alongside the scenes of private planes and ridiculous cars... It will all come crashing down at some point and you'll bet the cameras will be right there to catch it.

Yes, I feel she’s setting herself up for a fall or she’s being set up for a fall. She’s the type who’ll work her way out of it somehow tho 🙄

I couldn’t believe it when I found out how old Mary was! I was shocked when I seen her son at the wedding I thought he was her brother!

Christine obviously doesn't come from money and thinks that material possessions will make her happy and feel complete (spoiler: they never do). Her fiance (only up to E3 of S2 so far), didn't get to be retired early by spending lavishly on stuff; and her dishonesty about spending is not a great start for their married life together. She's not making huge money selling real estate - her extended holidays don't help with that, so he'll likely rein her in and read her the riot act, or she'll empty their bank accounts ... I wonder which will come first?

I wonder why Chryshell's ex-husband divorced his first wife - she's a former soap actor too, and pops up on many Lifetime movies. He seems to have a type, as his new girlfriend is also a soap actor, and looks a bit like Lindsay (wife #1) and Chryshell mixed together. Before marrying Justin, Chryshell was engaged to Matthew Morrison from Glee ... I seem to remember it ending on a sour note at the time. I'd say Justin is more the one with issues though, not Chryshell.

I agree about the tattoos looking tacky. Most of them dress quite inappropriately for work. I find it amazing how it's acceptable work wear for women to wear sleeveless tops in America - I see a lot of US newsreaders wearing those too. It looks really unprofessional. My work has such a strict dress code - tops have to be at least elbow length long, skirts and dresses have to fall below the knee, no visible cleavage, jackets must be worn for meetings with clients, no tattoos on display ...

I was thinking the exact same about Jason/Brett 😂 their height isn’t helped when the girls are in heels at all! They look tiny.

I actually met Christine through work last year, she was really lovely and i agree completely about how she is the scripted bad guy in the series!
I find it all so entertaining though still even if it’s fake! Escapism 🙌🏼

OMG! I’ve just finished season 2. I cannot wait for season 3.

do you know what irks me the most?? The girls wearing those spiky heels in other people’s houses. What about marking their floors?? I think it’s rude of them 🤣

The heels Christine wears are ridiculous. She can barely walk in some of them

I’ve been waiting for someone to make a thread for this since I can’t! 🤣 thank you!



Christine - her one liners and facial expressions kill me 😂 I like Mary and Maya too.. the others are a bit blah this season. I agree about Chrishell, I really didn’t like her this series but did in series 1! I really don’t like Romain.. he was so rude and childish.

That preview of season 3 at the end looked so good! It’s out in August I think - can’t wait to see the drama - feel sorry for Chrishell about her divorce though..

Ooh not too long to wait
