‘Selling The OC’s Two Evil Besties Both Named Alexandra Will Fill The Christine Quinn Hole in Your Heart

This article includes spoilers for Season 1 of Selling The OC.

The rumors are true: Christine Quinn, one of reality TV’s most fashionable villains, is leaving Selling Sunset ahead of Season 6. Considering Quinn’s been at the heart of the real estate reality show’s most dramatic moments since Season 1, the series certainly won’t be the same without her. While we’re not sure what Quinn’s departure will mean for the Los Angeles office, if you’re looking to fill the Christine-shaped void in your life, check out the ladies at the center of Selling The OC‘s drama.

Yep, that’s right. The Selling Sunset spinoff, which premiered on Netflix August 24, has multiple “villains” in its first season. Though the trailer paints Alex Hall as one of the season’s main antagonists, shortly after smashing play you realize that’s not the case. Hall is in good standing with the majority of her colleagues, but Gio Helou, the self-described “top dog” who has “B clients” — aka billionaires — and drives an orange Porsche as his “homage to Orange County” quickly emerges as another prime villain candidate. He comes from a huge real estate family and spends a significant amount of time on screen with his mom, but while he knows how to get on people’s nerves, Gio seems largely harmless. At one point it looks as if Kayla Cardona, who inappropriately hits on her married colleague Tyler Stanaland, has the makings of a villain. But she apologizes and owns up to her mistakes before the season concludes.

By the end of Selling The OC’s first 10 episodes, two blonde besties named Alexandra Rose and Alexandra Jarvis are the cast members with the most enemies.

Before we unpack this controversial new duo, we need to acknowledge that there’s only one Christine Quinn in this world. Neither Jarvis or Rose are as fierce as the Selling Sunset star, nor are they as terrifying — yet. But like Quinn, they think they’re better than their colleagues, they’re bold fashionistas, they definitely aren’t looking to make friends at work, and they drive major conflict in the season. Would Quinn be scared of this duo? I doubt it. But I could definitely see her taking them under her wing and forming the world’s most terrifying real estate trio.

A few minutes into Selling The OC, one of the show’s stars, Brandi Marshall, shares a familiar concern about working for the brokerage: “One thing I’ve noticed since I’ve been at The Oppenheim Group is it comes with its own brand of office politics.” As the realtors introduce themselves, Alexandra Rose and Alexandra Jarvis appear on screen side by side with blonde hair, heels, and some serious attitudes.

“Two Alexandras are better than one,” Rose says. “There’s no better team than she and I,” Jarvis assures their potential client. “Two for the price of one.”

While the how and why of it all are never fully addressed, Rose and Jarvis are a real estate team who do everything from door knock to show and sell homes together. “Rose and I are the top-producing female agents in the office,” Jarvis (who’s also an attorney) explains in a voiceover. “I’m not sure of any other female in the office who even has a listing over ten million so we run circles around them. We’re really unstoppable.”

It’s clear early on that Jarvis and Rose think they’re queens of Orange County and everyone’s jealous of them. At one point Jarvis even says, “They’re swimming in the kiddie pool, and we’re taking laps in the ocean.” But their colleagues disagree.

One fellow realtor calls Jarvis “the worst person in the fucking world.” Another says the two Alexandras bring “weird, awkward energy” to the office. And Kayla has a major problem with Rose. Their conflict went down before filming started, so it’s hard to fully follow the story, but Kayla claims Rose was “talking shit about everyone” in the office, Jarvis included, so she called Jason and said “either you say something or I will.” Jason confronted Rose, who called Kayla some unkind word, and now all hell is breaking loose in the office. Ah, sweet sweet reality TV chaos.

Like Quinn, Jarvis and Rose aren’t seen in the office much, but they’re still a popular topic of conversation and when they do appear on screen they leave an impression. After a highly-anticipated blowout at Gio’s casino night, nearly everyone in the office turns against the duo and agrees they’re bullies. It’s no secret Jarvis and Rose are expert pot stirrers when they want to be, but when Rose opens up about her difficult childhood to Jarvis, Gio, and his mom in a later episode, it’s hard not to feel for her and wonder if all the animosity is simply the result of poor communication. If it is, we surely don’t find out this season.

The finale shows the office celebrating their recent success with a yacht party, and once the team hits the water the claws come out. After Jarvis and Rose confront the group and call them out for being hypocrites, one of the office’s quietest, least dramatic employees, Tyler, steps in and puts the Alexandras in their places.

“You’re coming to the table with an agenda to start shit,” he says before calling them bullies. “You can only burn so many bridges until there’s nothing left to cross.”

If Tyler’s speaking up, you know the environment must feel toxic. Unfortunately for the rest of the office, the season ends with Jarvis and Rose selling their $20 million listing and ringing the bell in celebration. Everyone’s cringing, but clearly the Alexandras aren’t going anywhere.
