Giving people a glimpse behind the curtain? Christine QuinnYou may be returning for season 6 Selling SunsetShe reveals the secrets of the first 5 seasons, but not before.
“We come to a scene and they want everything to be — I can’t even say the word without laughing — organic,” the 33-year-old Netflix star said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast on Wednesday, May 18. “They literally hold us away from each other. Chelsea [Lazkani]I’m best friends with you Vanessa [Villela]I am best friends with my best friend. So we show up to set and they separate us in different rooms and then they wait until we’re ready to film and they send us in. But in the meantime, they’ll have someone say, ‘Oh, my gosh, you know Christine just said this about you in a previous scene,’ and they’ll come to me [and say], ‘Chelsea said this about you [in] previous scenes.’ So they set up these scenarios which instigate our emotions intentionally. But I’ve been doing the show for four years. I’m on five seasons, so I know how it works.”
Alex Cooper was interviewed by Christine, who said that she and her cast of Sunsets for Sale — which also includes Chrishell Stause, Jason Oppenheim, Mary Fitzgerald, Heather Rae El Moussa (née Young), Emma Hernan, Davina Potratz Maya Vander — shot seasons 4 and 5 of the Netflix series in one-month spans.
“We shoot them back to back, so it’s a very, very, very quick turnaround,” she said, adding that viewers may not realize “how hard it is to shoot a show” due to continuity issues.
The How To Be a Boss B*tchAuthor went on to make claims about the production of the show.
“I’ve been into the office. Six storyboarders are full-time. They create the story lines and adjust as things change. [the] real world in our lives, they can kind of rotate the story lines,” she alleged. “But we have six full-time storyboarders who create narratives.”
Christine previously opened her home to Us Weekly earlier this month about the sides of her that she feels aren’t reflected on the real estate series.
“When you watch the show, you have to understand, you know, we’re following so many characters and so many different people, so we can only show a certain amount, but there are different sides to me,” she said. “In addition to being funny and maybe a loudmouth, I also have a vulnerable side and I’m just like everyone else. I’m a human and I have a heart and things do hurt me. I wish we could all be best friends. Television shows only a small part of my life. It doesn’t show all the hard work I put into it. So I hope that people read the book and understand where I’m coming from.”
