‘Selling the OC‘ is a Netflix reality series that falls in the same franchise as ‘Selling Sunset.’ The show follows the employees of The Oppenheim Group’s office in Orange County, California, and lets the viewers enjoy the breathtaking properties available in the region. Additionally, the realtors give the viewers an insight into their personal and professional lives. The varied dynamics between the cast members make for an entertaining viewing experience that is hard to beat.
One of the most underrated but crucial bonds in the show’s first season was between Brandi Marshall and Lauren Shortt. Their friendship may not have been as dramatic as some of the others, yet the duo did not fail to entertain the viewers, thanks to their charming personalities. Naturally, viewers are curious to know if their friendship has survived the test of time or if they have drifted apart.
Brandi and Lauren’s Selling the OC Journey
Brandi and Lauren’s time together on ‘Selling the OC’ was certainly not as dramatic as some of the others. While the former had her fair share of drama as the season progressed, Lauren was mainly seen during major gatherings or having some downtime with her. The real estate agents sometimes worked as an efficient team, as evidenced by their partnership for the listing of a 4-bedroom property at Gainsborough Drive in Laguna Beach, California.
Throughout all the events in season 1 of the Netflix show, Lauren and Brandi remained inseparable; the duo would often get together and share their woes. When Brandi found herself amidst the drama surrounding Kayla Cardona and Tyler Stanaland, Lauren became the first person she shared the details with. In fact, she even shared the truth about her mother’s health status with her dear friend.
Brandi also expressed her frustrations with her co-workers to Lauren, who did her best to support her dear friend, including chasing off a seagull. The bond between these two realtors was one of the strongest in ‘Selling the OC’ season 1- they had each other’s backs and constantly provided emotional support. However, towards the end of season 2, there was indeed a slight hiccup. Polly Brindle claimed that Lauren had told her that Brandi had seen a video of her and Tyler making out.
Caught off-guard by why this was news to others, Lauren soon realized that her other colleagues did not know that Barndi had seen the video. After an argument between the latter and Polly prompted Brandi to walk out of the office, Lauren soon caught up with her and claimed that she had thought that everyone already knew about the video, hence why she had Polly. Though it did not seem like Brandi held Lauren responsible for anything, people can’t help but wonder if their friendship bond has remained strong. Not to worry, because we have just the answers you want.
