Davina Potratz Says ‘Selling Sunset’ Favored Certain Forged Members

Davina Potratz is getting candid concerning the behind-the-scenes dynamics of Netflix’s hit reality series “Selling Sunset,” revealing that not everyone was treated equally, each on screen and off. In a brand new interview sent to The Blast by Casino.ca, the previous Oppenheim Group agent opened up about her time on the show, reflecting on how some solid members received more favorable edits and opportunities than others. Potratz, who appeared in multiple seasons before stepping away from the fundamental solid, didn’t hold back when discussing how those differences shaped the series and her experience in it.

When asked whether producers appeared to protect certain stars while leaving others more exposed, Potratz admitted that she and a number of other castmates often noticed the imbalance. “We had many conversations about that,” she said. “It’s not about shading anybody. I would like everyone to achieve success and do well from the show, but I believe, especially early on, certain people were more favored and others less favored, and I believe that played out on the show.”

The previous luxury real estate agent explained that the uneven treatment sometimes left the solid questioning why certain storylines or people were being prioritized. “That’s why we said, why is that this person getting more listings? Or why is someone seemingly this perfect character, and that was a little bit confusing, I didn’t understand it,” she continued.

Potratz also reflected on her own portrayal throughout the series, revealing that she never felt like audiences got to see her full personality. “I just feel like I wasn’t given a balanced edit. I don’t think I used to be treated with the identical grace because the others,” she said. “I didn’t even get an introduction. Nobody even knew I used to be from Germany, and so I believed that was form of strange. Considering I used to be on it for therefore long, it’s bizarre.”

The posh realtor, who prides herself on her professionalism and international background, said she wished viewers could have seen more of her humor and heat, qualities she feels were overshadowed by the show’s selective storytelling.

“It’s nice. I did the perfect I could with what I knew on the time. I don’t regret anything that I said and did. That was my truth, and I stand by that,” she added. “I just wish people had more context or a little bit bit more details about me as an individual because I’m actually really funny and sweet, and I believe plenty of that was lost on the show.”

While “Selling Sunset” is thought for its high-glamour real estate listings and larger-than-life drama, Potratz emphasized that viewers only see a fraction of what actually happens. The ultimate edit, often trimmed down from hours of filming, can significantly alter how people and situations appear on screen.

“What happened is a full story, after which what you see is a much shorter version of that, and it’s, after all, edited down,” she explained earlier within the conversation. “I’m curious what makes the ultimate cut… but I can’t watch the entire show, it’s draining for me.”

Potratz believes the show may gain advantage from returning to its roots and focusing less on overproduced drama. “I believe I might return to attempting to make it more authentic, just less produced,” she shared. “The show’s definitely not scripted, and it’s definitely real. But I believe everybody plays this chess game and is trying to achieve the audience’s approval not directly, and it just feels more produced.”

The truth star argued that “Selling Sunset” worked best when it leaned into real personalities and organic interactions, quite than heavily curated storylines. “Nobody here is basically this great of an actor, as you’ll be able to see,” she added with amusing. “So it’s higher once we’re just ourselves.”

Even with its ups and downs, Potratz says she’s ultimately thankful for what the series dropped at her life and profession, each personally and professionally. “It was a blessing, and it was a platform,” she told Casino.ca. “If I had only done one or two seasons, it wouldn’t have been as impactful, and I wouldn’t have learned as much as I did.”

Though she may not have received the introduction she deserved, Davina Potratz’s honest reflection brings a fresh dose of authenticity to the glamorous, high-pressure world of “Selling Sunset,” serving as a reminder that behind the million-dollar listings and picture-perfect moments, reality TV doesn’t all the time reflect reality.
