It’s the time of year where, sometimes, all you really need is a XXL pizza and some trashy reality TV to help you deal with your party-season induced headache. If this sounds like you and you’ve racked up some hours of binging brainless telly, then you’ll probably be surprised to hear about the Selling Sunset x Bachelor crossover you never knew you needed.

We’re just days away from the launch of the new season of The Bachelor US, and Selling Sunset dropped their latest season last month, which shot straight to the top of the Netflix charts. So, both TV shows are currently the talk of town in the reality world.

Now, some eager eyed podcaster has discovered that Kate Gallivan, a contestant on the upcoming season of The Bachelor, actually works for The Oppenheim Group – the same LA Real Estate agency where all the ladies of Selling Sunset work.

The news was first shared by podcasters Chicks in the Office, when the hosts sent out a tweet.

“Kate from Clayton’s upcoming season of the Bachelor works for the Oppenheim Group?! There for the right reasons or a bid for Selling Sunset?”

One look at The Oppenheim Group’s website confirms the news, showing a photo of Gallivan accompanied by her agent description.

“A Nashville native, Kate Gallivan moved to Los Angeles seven years ago and hit the ground running with a job in entertainment at CAA. The fast-paced, high-pressure environment at the agency, coupled with juggling multiple clients, translated seamlessly to Real Estate in 2016, where she has been thriving ever since,” it reads.

“Attention to detail, effective communication, and a positive attitude is her recipe for success. When she’s not out in the field, you can find her attending to a different recipe – homemade cinnamon rolls. Besides being a queen in the kitchen, Kate also knows her way around all of the shopping, dining, hiking, and entertainment experiences that LA has to offer.”
