    Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
    BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
    Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
    Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
    Ripshin OK. These have to be some of the most self-absorbed people I've ever seen. Yes, it is reality TV. Yes, it is scripted.But now they've brought a baby into the mix. They have gone through seven nannies? They have a maid. This is all fabricated, and ludicrous.I have been approached to work realty TV production several times. The whole thing is a scam. I have always turned it down. Reality TV offers @#$* money, and treats everybody like @#$*.This show was somewhat tolerable, until they brought in a baby. Just horrible.And the whole 2017 "Versailles" fiasco? Ridiculous. Who believes this stuff? I've watched out of horrible fascination. I suppose that makes me complicit to garbage TV.Again, reality TV is total fabrication. I hope that people really understand this fact.
    sexwizardmoustache I personally don't understand why people watch this show and why it's still on the air. I love house hunters and any type of house renovation or flipping show. There are several good ones out there. The general gist of it is, there's a run down house and people transform it into something beautiful. But this show is falsely marketed as a flipping show when about 99% is about Jeff's personal dramas, usually filmed while he's driving around in his car or sitting around his house and 1% is about him standing around some house, usually telling people off. There is no footage of before and after shots or at least some progression of his actual renovation work. Is he actually involved in any renovation at all? Because I've never seen him renovate a single house. If you want to watch a totally self absorbed individual constantly manufacturing drama with everyone around him, doing a lot of driving in the car and never actually accomplishing anything, then you might enjoy this show but I really have to question why, just why on earth.
    ShelbyTMItchell First of all, Jeff Lewis has to be the boss that you would love to hate and that he shows a self-congratulatory attitude and arrogance towards those that are under him. With the exception of Zoila the maid, in which she doesn't fear him. He really treats his staff and just isn't understandable of others. Ryan Brown, his ex-lover and still good friend and partner, is the complete opposite of him. Really likable and treats his staff right. Maybe he grew up with great parents while having unlovable parents for Jeff, turned him out to be the way that he is. He is OCD true. But still, you should treat others the way that you would love to be treated. No more nor no less. As Jenni stays by his side. And seems loyal to him despite him being a jerk. But I guess that is what Bravo people wants are jerks.
    lambiepie-2 This show is another show in the long line from 'Bravo Reality' of folks who's jobs in real life really aren't that interesting - but because of some quirk makes entertaining television.What makes Jeff, this real estate investor's life, interesting to Bravo is that he buys overpriced Southern California property and 'flips' it into more exceedingly over priced property. And as PT Banrum would paraphrase: "there's a sucker born every minute" and there will always be someone who buys Jeff's crown jewels, in which case allows Jeff to be more obnoxious and condescending as ever. This is what Bravo wants its audience to think 'success' is about.Thing is - there's nothing wrong with any of that. It's the American way. Jeff found a niche and went with it, and for those that buy it - all the better for him, his partner and the other "hanger-ons". But what is the worst part of this show is Jeff's alleged obsessive compulsiveness that allows him to talk/treat folks like dogs and think he's 'king of the financial world.' This show can easily be retitled, "My Sweet 16 at 30/40 something and now I sell Real Estate!". Make no mistake, this is Jeff's coming-out party house after house. And Jeff is 'compulsive' about how he can 'flip' a property, sell it for twice - sometimes three times - it's worth, stock it with furniture you would get for 1/16th of the price at "Living Spaces" (A Southern California low priced furniture store) and make himself (And those investors that can take his flipping out)a lot of dough.But does this make for entertaining TV? Do you care about the life of THIS picky, compulsive real estate investor? Do you care about the steps HE takes to refurbish homes? Do you care that he surrounds himself with walking stereotypes to make himself look competent? Not really. Not unless you find something entertaining in watching rich folks get their comeuppance when the escrow closes on Jeff's flippin' homes.I can't believe this show for I think most of the home buying public normally wants to buy a home and put in their touches on it - not have Jeff's nervous compulsive vision forced down your throat...real estate investor/house flipper or not. But maybe an idea is to show that rich people can be stupid about investing their money too.He "flips out" more than his creations. Maybe that's what Bravo found entertaining. I don't. Many times he made me wonder what IF 'Norman Bates' got out of prison. Jeff answers that question for me: He'd be a real estate investor in Southern California.
