“I feel like we weren’t given a second chance, possibly because of what we represented as minority women,” cast member Juawana Colbert tells Page Six.

Colbert adds that there were a few other issues that came up while filming that show Netflix and their producers were “out of touch” on how to film with an all-black cast.

The businesswoman says her co-stars spoke up to production, and while their remarks were not “negatively received,” not much change took place afterward. “[The cast] didn’t meet Adam until a month or two after the premiere,” the source alleges. “Adam is on set with all his other shows, except this. Granted, there was COVID, so I’m sure that’s an excuse.”the first “Selling Tampa” teaser

After “Selling Tampa” premiered, radio host DJ Envy publicly criticized the show for not featuring as many sales as its predecessor. We’re told that after “Selling Tampa” got the axe, producers considered a spinoff with Rosado in Miami. Additionally, a pilot featuring Latin and black men and women was filmed but not picked up.

Gossip sells.......

I think it was on Netflix and I started watching BUT it was boring.

Racism = the show sucked so we need an excuse

🤡

It more like poor ratings and not being on Bravo

Beautiful woman though

Tv wants to see black woman from the south, go to Compton south central Hoover but here not ready for this

They should do Compton real house wife’s not these butter cookie

who are they whoweekly

is that on bravo?

Maybe blame a shitty cast and show

Who saw that coming? It was a bad show! Race had zero to do with it! The show was cheaply produced and the show was tacky. That’s why they got ranked! Ratings suck then ByeFelicia

It was boring and very amateurish

It was terrible. That’s the reason.

Or no one cares about Tampa.

Like house of the dragon ! Black washing everything never works

Nooooo I loved it

Who cares

No… they barely sold a house

Yea, I needed more real estate.

I really enjoyed this show.

Yea. Do U see any white girls. So much for diversity

_uniqueb smh

Kianaj_08 Wtf…

Another example of us not being able to protect our queens cuz we won’t build our own.

Imagine thinking Netflix doesn’t want to make money because they’re racist. 💀💀💀

Yeah because the target demographic (Black women) are racist.

The show is trash ain’t got shit to do with race

vandellcarter I been waiting on this show to return netflix y’all are trash bring it back SellingTampa

It was boring

They tried it and I’m with them that race played a part!

omg noooo dis tew much🫠

I’m mad because I’ve been waiting for season 2😭

What they expect when is a all white show people complain there is no diversity because is you is not fair

🤣🤣🤣 no one watched it…..and quite frankly it wasn’t that entertaining.

People watched for the real estate an y’all sold not 1 house… This should’ve just been called The Housewives of Tampa…

Truth be Told ; “ Sorry not Sorry 😹😹😹

It would be great if OWN picked up the show!

I tried to watch Selling Beverly Hills and just couldnt! Then I tried to watch selling sunset latest season. Turned it off too! If I see one more chick fuck with their hair, I'll puke! Maybe I'm just too old for these shows but I can't take the petty BS.

canceled cause its awful & nobody watched. You cant just play race cards to deflect.

I ain't gonna lie, I enjoyed the show and was looking forward to season 2 despite barely no houses being sold. I cannot for the life of me get into Selling Sunset and from the little I did see, they had just as much drama as Selling Tampa!

I barely watched an episode. All they showed was the drama. The cast needs to talk to Netflix cause they were screwed over

Wrong leader sunk the ship.

Boring and never sold a house the whole season.

Both shows are terrible. But sell some houses y’all 😂, don’t have the charisma to carry a show if you ain’t selling

I loved Selling Tampa - I was looking forward to another season. I love the women empowerment and diversity. Bring it back netflix

Not gone lie not a single house was sold, but I was living for the black entrepreneur esthetic they looked tf good!

Tbh I tried watching selling Tampa and it didn’t interest me. I didn’t even finish the first episode.

From what I heard they didn’t sell anything. It was just drama. So how can they say “if it were drama it would have gotten a season 2 and 3”

djenvy Your words aged sooooo well… All that backlash mfs tried to give you for speaking the truth🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

They darn really sell any houses tho…

Poor casting and not interested in the storylines 🤷🏾‍♀️ I honestly blame the producers, I believe it's the same ones from Siesta Key and we see how they tell black stories 👀

VH1 I know y'all got room for this special group of women. rebrand and lets go.

Bathong?!!

Who tf wants to see houses in Tampa tho

!! I was interested in seeing a season 2 😟 I thought it was more interesting and authentic than Selling Sunset. Bravo could pick up this show and make it the hit it’s supposed to be. Someone call Andy

They were not even selling houses

6foot1thighz I never watched this show anyway lol

They didn’t have enough personality.

Racism? How ab that the show couldn’t ride the back of its main character dating a man coming out of a domestic abuse scandal? Is it racist to not wanna watch some bad acting, fake reality crap? I’m from the area and still couldn’t! I wanted to love it but nah. SellingTampa

They wasn’t selling shit 😂

No wayyyy ughhhh

I agree because the show was good and the viewers supported it.

They sold houses tho. Selling Tampa had great ideas, but the execution was horrible. If we wanna see black women argue without aim, we have Housewives and Love & Hip Hop. So even though SS had only privileged white women, they had success.

There never sold houses

It was set in Tampa….

WHATTTTTTTTT NOOOOO IT WAS SO GOOOOOOOOODDDDD WTFFF

Aw man, I was looking forward to seeing what they were up to.

I watched it just for the the fact that the cast was black, being a huge selling sunset fan but the balance between teas and real estate was horrible. Barely saw any houses, felt like love & hip hop. The Sunset team knows what they’re doing!

BrieShunta nooo!

Here we go again 🙄

They ain't sell shit but drama, but go off gworlies 💅🏾🔥

8 chicks had a whole season competing to sell 1 house… 1 chick had no clue what she was doing at all & the rest was them arguing… racism ain’t the reason for this one 😒

What is it ? Never heard of it

Did any of them actually make a sale? I watched like 3 episodes and I only watched because Colony is fineeeee! Lol

I never knew this was a show 🤷🏾‍♀️

Noooo!

Never watched it..let me go watch to see what it’s about

It was too urban for the girls

THIS WAS A GOOD SHOW!!! Great role models for our women of color. Very disappointing that they can’t give us one thing!!

Omg 😫😳

The cast was fine. It was Tampa, as a setting it wasn’t that interesting. They should’ve done it in Atlanta.

When you have a show about selling real estate you need to show them selling real estate. I enjoy seeing the homes and those transactions. Its a delicate balance with these type of shows. When the drama & mess out weigh the actual selling of real estate I lost interest.

It was actually just boring and nothing like selling sunset or even selling OC. Not good tv

I wonder why…

I’m really sorry that this decision was made. I really enjoyed the show, more than Sunset & OC. They are all beautiful women from different backgrounds who were such an inspiration. I was holding my breath waiting for S2. Now, I’ll have to rewatch S1 for the millionth time. Dayum

VanityKillaa

The show was boring and had nothing really to o with Real Estate.

So to anyone that doesn’t know. The cast said they were selling houses during filming but Netflix mainly focused on their drama. So imagine all the unseen footage that wasn’t displayed. At least their drama was entertaining.

Nothing to do with racism. The show was awful. I didn’t even finish the season.

They didn’t sell any homes!

Why was this show canceled It was good!

djenvy called it.. them ladies tried to protect that check by saying they were good. Envy said he didn’t like how them ladies were being shown.

Nooooo

I loved this show smh

Typical. That's why I don't f*** with Netflix like that no more.

the show was good. Ion think racism. It was just bad tv. Not one damn house was sold, the entire season!

This some bullsh*t! One episode of Selling Tampa was more entertaining than an entire season of Selling Sunset.

Well dag, I missed that. What channel?

I liked it 🫠

They should blame themselves honestly. They was being negative to each other

The show was just ok but Selling OC was terrible so I need them to cancel that next. If that gets renewed for a second then they may be right about the racism.

I personally don't want to see the baby momma history line... It's just sad. If those are the personal decisions I can't imagine on her business.

The true villian

Not surprised at all they weren’t selling houses.

Noooo 😢

Put this on another platform because I’ll watch it

I blame Tampa for being Tampa

I loved that show! lol we needed both

Really tired of black folks in the comments justifying the racist decision to cut this show. 🙄 The show displayed the success of emerging BW realtors. This show wasn’t anymore drama-filled than Selling Sunset and than tired ass Christine vs Chriselle storyline

The streaming service needed to make room for Bling Empire's upcoming spinoff which is currently in post production.

BondBontina

Omg NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Damn I enjoyed this series

did they even sell a house ? show was dust

They deserved another season

It wasn’t racism. They literally sold nothing the whole season. It was boring.

I saw that coming. You cannot tell your employees “if you don’t like it quit”. Selling sunset has a balance of drama and real estate. Selling Tampa was just drama

The boss was a terrible woman. The girls were messy and unorganized. The show desperately wanted to make the women look messy and catty. The show BARELY sold any houses. Im sure it was edited out cuz you could tell a lot of things were done off camera.

Wtf I liked this show!!

Start a new show 'Selling Ghetto' and it'll be a runaway hit

How about ratings? Did the fact that no one watched it factor in?

I don’t think it’s racsim this time. Selling Sunset had the same amount of drama. Selling Sunset showed how poorly that Spanish girl did at selling homes just like they did with oh girl on selling Tampa. Selling Tampa just didn’t land with viewers.

What?!?! Why!!!! This show was fantastic and stunning. Seriously?

Sucks that this happened. I actually enjoyed this show.

The show was terrible if we being truthful.

carinda_

Thabile_TTO I liked them 😭 I’m irked

🤣🤣🤣

I mean, I wasn’t expecting it to come back. It just wasn’t good

This is definitely cap af bc these ladies carried the franchise. Tried to watch selling sunset but i turned it off after 1 episode

This was a great show that’s BULLSHIT

MarcusBrazil_

No one was watching

I wouldn’t be watching Selling Sunset if it weren’t for Selling Tampa! This is wack . I blame Ocho lol

hulu step in here

Why is everyone acting like they didn’t sell homes when they literally DID😭

WTF 💔

It just didn’t hit the same like “Sunset” and “OC.”

Nothing to do with race but I tried watching & it was just booooring 😴

Was it the greatest season of television? Not imo, but it was better than Selling the OC. I was looking forward to another season of SellingTampa!

I didn't see a single home sold during the series.

djenvy

This makes me sad , I loved this gem of a show ….

No it was petty and contrived.

Bet. I won’t be watching any of the other series, then. Y’all got me fucked up. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I do too

really?

Yeah it just wasn’t giving an entire season and not one house got sold🥴

😂😂😂😂 they was hot trash

😭😭😭 I actually liked this show imma miss Sophie and Colony

They only wana see black women on TV if it’s drama related

Nobody was watching this show

ugh that’s disappointing

Blame Sharelle she had such nasty energy for her staff. I still would like another black real estate company to get a chance though!

We tired of petty reality tv! Y’all fail to sell multi-million dollar homes as a whole. It was fashion, drama, drama, pregnant SellingTampa

Noooo...I enjoyed this show😞.

I blame ralph and drew from rhoa

I wanted to see another season :/

davidwamambo I’m actually touched it was a good show, they didn’t sell any homes but a good show none the less

Why does it always come down to racism? Has ANYONE watched tv lately? It is refreshing to see many shows that are centered around different races and beliefs. Did anyone consider the fact that we r inundated w/these groups of women shows Housewives franchise alone is a bore!!

Anyone who lives in Tampa knew.

Not everything is racist... sometimes it's just bad TV.

Ughh, we needed season 2 😩

How were the ratings?

ayers0807 I liked this show that sucks

No like literally the only one I cared to watch

All these shows are trash

Of course

It was really bad

Good, couldn’t get past one episode.

Why did the producers only show mess and not actual real estate. The ladies sold houses but Netflix didn’t show that.

I didn’t even know about this show. 😟

Nooooooooo

Aww I liked it! Booo.

This show was terrible and hood. I was disgusted. Just ghetto.

How did they come to that conclusion. Was it simply because the production team are white 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just stop with all these reality shows about real estate agents 😩

Wow

No drama no show? Do people of color have to be in drama to make the show pop

I liked Selling Tampa. I need to see more of Colony

It was an awful show. Race has everything to do with it. Whoever’s black ass came up with those terrible storylines is to blame. 😂😂😂

Tampa FL & Racism… Really.!! I Guess That Confederate-Flag On I-75 Is Real.. & The Governor (mini Trump)..

😳🥺 not cancelled mannn

Ooh no, I really loved the show😥

I know I watched it, but I remember nothing about it. Which it seems is probably not a good thing.

Tbf this show was uninteresting. It wasn’t captivating enough. I don’t think it’s about racism at all but then again you can never know

Definitely because it’s a black female cast 🫢

_Mo_Mo_Treez

Selling the OC was terrible so how is Tampa cancelled?

bc y’all was boring asf tbh…thought it would be like RHOA but realtors

Selling Sunset is located in an aspirational place. Nobody aspires to live in Tampa.

That show was horrible. After one episode and I was 😴😴.

you know what i agree with the cast

Selling THE OC is the best for me. Those kids went innnnn. These ones did everything but sell a house. Just noisemakers.

Of course they do 🙄

They could pitch it to OWN and make it a spin off of Ladies Who List: Atlanta...

Was trash

It’s not that they’re black or latinas, they’re just bad boring tv.

Black ppl are always hyper critical of themselves but exercise grace for others which is why no other group cares when terrible things happens to the race. this show was great if they were white yeah, I wouldn't be saying shit.

The show was bad. They sold nothing.

I blame Netflix…they edited out the closings and promo for it was terrible…show had so much potential but Netflix ruined it…the ladies deserve better

This whole time I was waiting on season 2

I really liked it!

I literally could not finish the season. I saw two episodes and couldn’t make myself watch more. Very painful to watch.

No that show just sucked and the boss lady getting knocked up and not being around, by home boy who was nick cannon jr. With all the other kids. That show just had no story line!

I really liked this show!

Baby the show wasn’t giving

What a shame, I really liked Rena and Anna-Sophia

So was Married to Medicine LA, yet Atl is coming up to a decade on air. These new shows are failing to recreate the originality of the initial reality show plot, and thus are just not pulling in the ratings.

A bunch of black women in charge, in ownership and in roles typically filled by white men. Discrimination and racism aren't absurd conclusions.

Selling Tampa was all woman owned also. Not two little men puppetering an office full of women infected with internal misogyny

I thought it was way better than selling sunset.

The show was literally not good 😭 even Selling OC is too ridiculous

I mean I literally don’t remember a single thing about any of them or about anything that happened

I can definitely see this because the video quality + the rollout & marketing was NOTHING like any of the other franchises. On top of the fact they mainly focused on the drama. That was evident from jump.

As they should

nooo im gonna miss the neices!!!

Racism my black ass. Show was absolutely terrible. They did everything but sell homes, which is fine if ur gonna be entertaining but they weren’t lmaooo

It was the most boring show Iv watched , can’t force something to be liked

This is BS!! Was waiting on that second season

Put the older short cut women in charge and I bet it would be a hit

🥱🥱🥱

Lmfaoooooooo…. Nah it was boring afffff. And definitely not enough inventory of houses in Tampa vs. Selling Sunset LA..

girl wtf! netflix what’s happening!

I didn’t like it

I’m mad !! I loved this show !!

I blame production. They barely showed them actually selling homes and focused more on drama that wasn't entertaining at all

Im PISSED I loved the show so much and if they renew SellingTheOC im going to be even more pissed

Damn I actually liked this show 💔

Wow this sucks

Give itsrenafrazier her own spin-off netflix

👎🏾

Lol the whole show was them going to brunch or parties. They barely showed or sold houses 😂

it was bad

The show deserved a second season

Mica_MarieS we wanted to see more homes being sold. I felt like this show was feared toward the lives of the cast 🤷🏽‍♂️

Of course that’s what they would say 🙄

This show was decent and sure they didn’t have many sold homes shown. Outside of Selling Sunset, these spin-off cities don’t showcase many homes being sold. Just look at Selling OC which had like 2 homes sold, so I don’t want to hear it.

“They weren’t selling house” well the CEO opened 2 additional locations…so they were selling something….Nextflix seen a group of minority women and instantly seen “drama” I guess because they were throwing glasses and fighting on set they got cancelled…

i really loved this show 😪 ima blame it on racism too cause how the other white seasons get to thrive?

I kno they didn’t sell a lot of houses but I wanted to see the progress over the next few seasons 🙄

The show was mid but I’ve seen worse shows go on for longer. I loved me some Colony Reeves though!

This sucks!!!!! I loved Selling Tampa

The houses were ugly and the fashion was mid. Should have had Chad Johnson show up, at least once.

it was boring so i'm not surprised

wow! i really wanted a S2!

BRUH

I liked this show 😞

Idk I felt it was too much forced drama. Like starting it off it was “ oh yes let’s watch these bw boss up and succeed “. But per usual tv, quickly went, “ bw, bickering and in unfriendly competition, backstabbing “ etc. Kinda ruined the magic imo 🤷🏽‍♀️

Nah it was just an underwhelming show …. And like where were the deals …

what was this mess about?

No houses were sold, the drama was sooo forced. It really had no chance..🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s nothing to do with race. They had no drama and sold no houses. They were NOT selling tampa

21karolined

When envy tried to point that out ochos wife gave him a whole attitude. Now this is saying exactly what he was trying to point out

Damn... I've was waiting on season 2 😒

Facts 😂😂😂

They always do this and im tired of it.

Aww man thats my show

This is outrageous

The way this show had low promo, like they didn’t even push for it to be seen- only acknowledged it to themselves as “trying” diversity. Also saw some people say they did sell houses, but production cut it out. They wanted this to be another show abt blk drama. Sad.

Definitely deserved a season 2. That's usually where reality shows hit their stride. And they had enough going on in season 1 to warrant it.

Didn't even know this was on? Why do black ppl always pull this race card? 🤔

I would’ve liked a second season to see if it got better.

NewKidd_N_Town It just wasn’t good (plot wise) 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is some bull!

Im pissed😤😤😤😤

Nooooo I was waiting for more

Booooo👎🏿netflix

This show was... Lukewarm and boring. I'm sure they are very successful and making the right moves... And that didn't translate to compelling TV. You don't need dumb or manufactured interpersonal conflict though I wished I saw how y'all actually win business...

It was cute show! I was hoping for them to come back. 😪

NETFLIX WHAT THE FUCK

I really did like this show !!

that sucks

This was on bravo?

DireRaven268 👀 lol

AtkinsHarron 😭

Ngl they didn’t sell any houses it was mostly drama. Selling sunset them girls be selling houses back to back

They don’t sell houses on selling sunsets and y’all can’t convince me they do so the people in the comments… im judging

deray i loved selling tampa 😭

Aww I was looking forward to the next szn☹️

Here we go 🙄 I swear my people use the race card more than any other race does.

I watched this show and it was average at best.

Dang I liked Toni Childs

Definitely racism because the ratings were there.

No one was selling and the show as hella boring. I have up after 3 episodes

Not enough houses being sold, I don't care if Amy doesn't like Timothy’s wife while selling a million dollar home. Just show me the bathroom, closet and Kitchen please

Good last thing ww needed was a nonsense show....

deray I’ll miss Selling Tampa. Sunset is mad trashy😕

I loved this show omg

Should of been the house wives of Tampa ..it was a good cast

1908nHEARTbreak

Tbh, even without no homes being sold. I saw it coming because it wasn’t as messy as most reality TV shows

They should see if another production company would be down. lol what if they did this on Zeus? Hit up Natalie lmao

Nah, did they ever sale a house?

There's literally dozens of black only cast shows that are successful and run for multiple seasons, so that aint it. Maybe it's because the show was garbage?

I enjoyed the show. Sad that there is no season 2

I tried to watch it twice... it's a L

lol wayment,

I had hopes they would come back for another season and actually sell a house 😭

BE FFR

itsKARY_ Didn’t seem like they were selling many houses anyway

They didn’t show them selling anything. 😂

lidlkim_ Cancel OC as well then, it’s the worst of the 3

4EVRBEARDED it’s crazy bc i just feel like the show had just the right amount of drama, if anything and it was classy drama but y’all wanna keep watching the yts sell houses.

I could name a list of things that was wrong with the show and the cast. Racism isn’t it. 🫤

Of course they do.

They don’t promote this show at all. I didn’t even know season 2 was out

I enjoyed it

Sunset has way more drama and what season are we on…

Why are people acting like this show was like LAHH? there was barely any drama.

I actually liked the show. Never once watched selling OC. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Dang. Colony is my girl

I hate to agree that the season wasn’t good. They didn’t sell anything and just showed them arguing. However we also can cancel SellingTheOC while we’re here. It’s messy and annoying

It was an okay show, they could’ve given them a second season though. Some could’ve gotten the cut too.

Damn I thought it was a good show. Was looking forward to season 2.

labeautenoire_3 Well I hope they cancel the OC one, bc I have yet to finish episode 2.

Lmaoo I never watched it

They were barely seeking homes and Sharelle was a terrible business woman 😂

Show was so bad they barely sell/show any houses and it was mainly drama 😂

toshamack_ent

Wow

That’s messed up

They never sold a home 😬

Wow. Unbelievable. We can’t ever have shit

deray I mean Netflix is broke what you expect

They didn’t sell houses

deray This show was tragic. I couldn’t get beyond 1 episode. The other “Selling” shows are much better.

Probably the ratings..

It was more drama than sales. Not one house we saw was sold and let’s be honest, Sharelle is a horrible boss and has favoritism!

Not surprised. No one was selling homes

deray What show is dis?

Not y’all capping in the comments. Selling Tampa in one season was more entertaining than all of Selling Sunset.

Didn't even feel like watching it. These shows are starting to be too produced that makes me not want to watch! Sellingsunset I'm looking at you! Bring some diversity to this show & stop overproducing.

So it wasn’t her highlighting the grill as a feature? 😭

The show was ass. 😂✌🏽

Not surprised…the cast was messy.

If they're canceled honestly SellingTheOC should be as well bc they both had poorly manufactured drama.

I mean…. They didn’t sell anything fr

SingingShann08

WHAT!!!!!!

Show was vastly more entertaining than the other “Selling ______” shows (for all that’s worth).

I liked that show

That's always the reason, isn't it?

Literally all they did was fight tho😂

Nah this is lame. I liked the show

I’m sorry but the show was terrible lol

racism? okay. 👌🏾

🥴🥴🥴🥴

Or maybe they just sucked

Looks like a 💩 show to me.
