Selling Sunset Recap: Chelsea Bites Back


The dormant feud between Chelsea and Bre starts again, and it feels darker than their previous confrontations.

Scenes like these, where Mary can’t even lift her arm to hug Chrishell hello but is still in full glam, serve as a reminder that even when things go terribly wrong, these are people who will contort themselves painfully to maintain the ideal they want to project. But through all the posturing, the sense I’m getting with episodes six and seven — “Don’t Rain on My Parade” and “Sides Are Chosen” — is that Chelsea actually did not know about her husband’s cheating, and Bre’s on-camera reveal of it has thrown everything into this show’s version of chaos. We can assume she doesn’t understand what she’s rubber-stamping here, being ignorant of Nicole’s Pioneertown reveal, but it’s clear that Emma’s attempts to keep her apparently active love life off-camera are becoming as unrealistic as Chelsea’s hope that she’d be able to keep the breakdown of her marriage private.
