Flipping Out Recap: Paint It Black

by Mary on August 31st, 2011

Last night’s episode of Flipping Out featured Jeff wrestling with some of the negative aspects of the design business, such as unsatisfied clients and unethical contractors. Jeff also revealed his million-dollar idea, but sadly it’s not going to make him millions- yet!

The episode begins with the remnants of Randy, and Jeff needs to hire a new contractor ASAP because Spring Oak is already delayed. When Jeff is at the job site to inspect the status, Randy arrives and he wants guess what? His check! Jeff asks him to invoice him, but is predicting that Randy – desperate for money – will exaggerate the invoice.

Back at the office, Jeff is in talks to develop his own paint line with a company that currently is not available in America. The paint is totally green – with little to no chemicals, but must be applied with a special brush. The colors are amazing. Jeff really wants this opportunity to pan out because he considers it the “big fish,” or a way for he and Gage to move forward to the next stage of their lives. They want to buy a house and start a family of people children (even though they already have Zoila and 65 pets). Jeff is over relying on clients to pay his bills with all the unpredictability and stress of his business and is hoping the paint line will be the $300M lottery. He doesn’t want to settle for any stinkin’ single digit millions – that’s for pansies – he only wants the almost billion dollar pay out!

Flipping Out Recap: A Softer Side and A Hard Line

by Mary on August 24th, 2011

The theme of this season of Flipping Out is clearly firing! And last night Jeff Lewis was at it again – canning contractor Randy over money issues and disrespect for his authority. Another one bites the California dust!

Cat in a bag! Did you guys catch the cute scene of Monkey in the shopping bag? I love cat in a bag! In other animal news, Casey is acting strangely and it has nothing to do with the fact that she is surrounded by neurotics all day. Driving to Spring Oak, Jenni enthusiastically describes her friend Star, an “animal communicator” to Jeff. Can I have one for my Basset Hound?

Flipping Out Recap: Flipping Out Over Bad News, Bad Clients, and Bad (Former) Assistants!

by Mary on August 17th, 2011

On last night’s episode of Flipping Out, it’s the return of Stacey Ferris. Oh, joy… And Chaz Dean gives Jeff some very unfortunate news, prompting him to descend into a anger-ridden pity party that is pretty much the Jeff Lewis go-to emotional reaction.

Things start out with a walk-thru of the Cole bungalow. Chaz seems really happy with the work, but not apparently happy enough to straight up offer Jeff the job designing his New York Salon, leaving Jeff in limbo.

At West Knoll, Gage is now apparently angling to get Zoila fired! What is it with this guy?! Zoila acknowledges that Gage is gunning for her, but watch out because he, in fact, is going to be next. All this drama unfolds because Zoila catches Gage innocently washing a coffee cup dirtied from the coffee he made himself (gasp!)– Zoila calls him out on trying to make her look bad in front of Jeff. Jeff(!) defends him – claiming Gage tries to help out wherever he sees a need. Suuuuuure. Riiiiggght – he’s not at all the “quiet enemy” Zoila describes. Zoila reports that she needs a break from monitoring Gage’s sneakery to go watch her telenovelas, but don’t mistake – this bitch still cleans, Jeffrey! In all seriousness, Gage needs to go. I’m about to write Andy Cohen an intervention letter on Jeff’s behalf. Who’s with me?

Flipping Out Recap: Cleaning House Jeff Lewis Style

by Mary on August 10th, 2011

On last night’s episode of Flipping Out, Jeff Lewis continues to shake things up at Jeff Lewis Design by firing Trace and promoting the fairly invisible Jett to an office job. Zoila returns to her professional duties after a few too many days watching telenovelas on pain meds, and the Chaz Dean Studio Cole remodel finally comes to an end – but not without many hiccups.

It’s employee review time at JLD! Jeff informs us he has no regrets about letting Sarah go; and in light of her firing Gage has convinced him to evaluate all of his employees. Jett will be the next one to take his turn under the magnifying glass, especially since Gage Jeff isn’t sure if he is pulling his weight around the office. Eeks – watch out Jettster! Gage probably wants you O-U-T because you’re a cutie patootie and he’s threatened! Perhaps sensing that Jeff has it out for him, Jett makes a joke about getting fired later while Gage snootily cuts him a look, like: ‘Don’t push your luck, b*tch!’

Flipping Out Recap: All Good Things Must Come To An End

by Mary on August 3rd, 2011

It’s Jeff Lewis Time! And after Monday night’s Housewives gone wild reunion, I am definitely ready for some fun-loving Flipping Out, but sadly this episode Sarah Berkman said good-bye. This episode was about facing the difficult reality that sometimes things just don’t work out; sometimes someone just doesn’t like you – even if you want them to really, really badly.

Things start with Jeff and Sarah rehashing the Vegas weekend in Jeff’s favorite serious discussion spot – his Mercedes! Sarah gushes about her copious alcohol consumption and Jeff subtly plugs that it was also a work weekend, so yeah not everyone could get so cray-cray. Jeff mentions that if he was given the performance review Sarah received, he definitely would have been going above and beyond to prove his dedication by showing up at the event – drunky or no drunky.

Flipping Out Recap: What Happens In Vegas… Ends Up On TV

by Mary on July 27th, 2011

Last night’s episode of Flipping Out was rowdy, raucous, and racy – and about renewal. Zoila finally got her facelift, Sarah got a send off to her new married life, Chaz Dean’s bathroom got a major uplift, and Jeff realized who on his team is really there for Jeff Lewis Design.

Jeff is planning Zoila’s plastic surgery viewing party – and she better be ready with shaved legs because the JLD team will be watching her get her face lifted and her neck tucked. I predict Jeff will be bringing popcorn and martinis to the party. Zoila doesn’t want Jeffery to watch though cause she’s going to be nakey. No bras mean no boys for Zoila! Jenni explains they are all really concerned, because Zoila is the glue that holds JLD together.

Flipping Out Recap: Clogged Relationships, Unfinished Business, and Molting Moles

by Mary on July 20th, 2011

On last night’s episode of Flipping Out, Jeff learns the unpleasant reality about mixing business with pleasure as workplace annoyances interfere in his relationship with live-in boyfriend and business manager, Gage and the Cole Salon remodel is taking way longer than necessary due to the unprofessional workplace atmosphere, causing the owner to put the pressure on Jeff. Zoila, however, learns sometimes having a sugar daddy for a boss isn’t a bad thing at all when you want a complete make over!

At Jeff’s house, they are down to the serious business of teasing Gage about his burrito gone down wrong resulting in an infamous toilet clogging! Jeff caught Gage red-handed with the plunger; Sarah and her clown make-up explain Jeff is obsessed with #2. Jeff describes his office policy: “If you go #2 in the office, you’re on blast. If you clog the toilet, I’m practically alerting the neighbors.” Good to know – if you ever visit Senor Lewis’ don’t poop on the premises!

Flipping Out Recap: I Love You, I Love You Not

by Mary on July 13th, 2011

Last night’s episode of Flipping Out was about the boundaries between friendship and the workplace between Jeff and Sarah. After a slew of mistakes that have cost Jeff time and money are made, Jeff’s frustrations with Sarah reach a breaking point causing him to snap at Zoila and seek advice (yes, you read correctly) from Jenni.

In the middle of dealing with the Sarah situation, Jeff is saddled with two major re-designs one from a client he loves working with but who doesn’t like to get her bills paid on time and another who hoards baskets. Jeff is also in the process of hiring a new intern. And they better be hot.

Things start out with Jage reviewing potential interns; Jeff’s main concern – who is the best most stripper looking candidate! Um… is that legal? Is it discrimination? I guess Jeff simply can’t help if he feels better around attractive, fit people! Later Zoila gets to play Hot or Not with the potential intern’s photos. Zoila only wants a hottie of the male persuasion. Duh!
