It’s an incredible day—particularly for actuality tv followers. The long-awaited Promoting Sundown spinoff collection is lastly right here. Promoting the OC, which dropped on Netflix on August 24, follows 11 actual property brokers working on the Oppenheim Group workplace in Orange County.
Certain, Los Angeles was glamorous and all, however Southern California looks as if it might have much more to supply. Take my phrase for it—these homes are like nothing you’ve ever seen earlier than.
One of many enthusiastic brokers you will meet this season is Polly Brindle—the vivacious, British, ex-model. “I’ve simply had an incredible first 12 months within the enterprise. It has been wild,” she says.
Polly sat down with Girls’s Well being proper earlier than the premiere to speak about her roots, how she discovered her dwelling on the O Group, drama with the Alexandras, and…that seaside scene.
When you could not inform from her accent, Polly is from the U.Okay.
Yup, Polly hails from a tiny city in Northwest England. At 15, a modeling company scouted her, and after ending highschool, she headed to Paris to mannequin. Polly continued modeling throughout Europe—Milan, Barcelona, Germany, and London. And she or he says it was “such an incredible expertise.”
In 2011, Polly moved to the US along with her now ex-husband to work for Ford, the American modeling company. After her divorce, Polly stayed within the states to proceed her profession, but in addition beginning selecting up some aspect hustles—serving in and managing a restaurant, and managing an structure agency.
“I used to be form of looking for my ft of what my future seemed like,” she provides.
The pandemic catapulted her profession change.
After 9 years in LA, Polly determined to regroup in the course of the pandemic. She’d misplaced three jobs “in a single day,” and felt it was an indication for her.
“I am completed with LA, I am completed with leisure, I am completed with all of those aspect hustles, attempting to get one thing to work,” Polly says of her thought course of.
In January of 2021, she began learning to get her actual property license, and by February, Jason Oppenheim had signed her on as one of many first OC workplace brokers. She was formally licensed by June, and the present began taking pictures a mere 5 months later.
“I obtained the conventional job, but in addition a really not regular job got here with the conventional job,” Polly says. “It is a life-changing determination to let so many individuals into your life. It isn’t like auditioning to be a personality on a TV present, it is like, that is who I’m, and it’s fairly exposing.”
Polly wasn’t fazed by *that* scene.
On the finish of episode three, Polly loses a wager throughout a seaside occasion along with her co-stars, and because of this, she has to go skinny dipping. And after I say Netflix actually went on the market throughout that scene, I actually imply they went on the market. To place it merely, viewers see an entire lot of Polly’s bare bod.
“It was an actual, truly, crew constructing second,” she says. “It wasn’t completed in, like, a sexual manner—it was a really collaborative, enjoyable, humorous expertise with us all. I misplaced the wager, that was the wager. And in addition, I used to be a mannequin for 20 years. I am not afraid of my very own physique, you recognize?”
Issues are nonetheless icy with Jarvis and Rose.
The present begins out with some rigidity surrounding two of the Alexandras—Alexandra Jarvis and Alexandra Rose—and it solely intensifies because the season progresses. However afterwards, all of them nonetheless need to work within the workplace collectively every single day, and attend the identical social occasions.
“They do not converse to me, we’re not shut,” Polly says. “We may be in the identical room collectively. We simply do not look or converse to one another.”
Polly explains that they simply all have sturdy, distinct personalities.
“Evidently, we simply do not gel properly collectively. It is a disgrace as a result of they accomplish that properly in enterprise and I like a celebration,” she says, including “nobody actually needs to have fun their wins ‘trigger they’ve simply made everybody really feel so unhealthy about themselves.”
Their good friend group was portrayed precisely on the present.
These coworkers are undoubtedly buddy-buddy. Within the present, they make pizzas at Alex Corridor’s home and hang around collectively a lot. And Polly says it’s true to actual life.
“We speak all day every single day, we hang around socially, we’re a really tight knit group,” she provides.
For essentially the most half, not so much modified when cameras had been added to the combo. However after all, there have been some outliers.
Polly says there have been some forged mates who “completely ignored me” throughout her first six months on the O Group, however as quickly as cameras began rolling, that modified. “It is like, why are you speaking to me now? I attempted to be your good friend and also you made it actually clear that you just did not wanna be my good friend,” she says.
Polly’s so in for a second season.
Everybody should wait and see if this spicy Promoting Sundown spin-off will get one other season, however Polly could be all about it.
“It has been a lot enjoyable,” she says. “If folks need a season two and I am invited again for a season two, I might completely like to [do it]. I imply, why not?”
