Million Dollar Listing LA Recap: Gay or European?

August 29, 2014 by tamaratattles 29 Comments

MDLLA CastI missed the premiere of MDLLA because I just wasn’t paying attention. I have a new cable company and have to program my shows into the DVR to record and even then they sometimes don’t.  So I am going to check in now with episode 2 and see what I think about the two new guys, James Harris and David Parnes joining the cast with Josh Flagg and Josh Altman. I have a feeling I might miss Madison a little bit.

We start with Altman. The two new guys are British and partners. Apparently, last week everyone went after the same listing and Altman got it. The Brits are mad. Are they all out of real estate to sell over in jolly old England? I dislike these two and they haven’t said two words yet. They have come to the brokers open house to cause trouble it seems.  Flagg is enjoying the pissing match between David and James and Altman.  Altman is pleased with his open house.

The ever popular question, “Gay or European?” is seemingly answered by James’ wife and two daughters  but then his enthusiasm for tea parties seems to belie the initial response. After seeing the clubbing montage, where he knocked his wife up while they were dating, I suppose he is just European. David just walked in and the two both don tiaras and chat over pretend tea about a major business deal. MDLLA Brokers Open

Flagg has a gorgeous $9.395 million dollar listing in Bel Air Crest.  My first impression is that Latoya Jackson needs to see this house. It has everything she wants including the double staircase at the entry. It seems perfect in every way.  Oh fuck, did he just say the Kardashians live down the street? I knew there had to be something wrong with this place.

David and James are trying to get a big listing in Holmby Hills, and exclusive area near Beverly Hills.  I hate the house. It’s a house for a rich gay (or European) male. It’s furnished with very modern furniture.  If someone gave me this house, I would sell it and by Flagg’s listing with the money. Do all British guys have ears like Prince Charles?  Because these two do. They get the listing for $48 million. They mention that one of Ellen DeGeneres’s houses sold for  $55 million.  Their first thought is to rub this listing in Altman’s face.  Speaking of Altman, he has a porn star client on his property.

Oh God. Josh Flagg is at dinner with his grandmother. She recently passed away. It always creeps me out to see people on reality shows who have died since filming. She seems so vibrant. She was adorable with her lipstick dilemmas and advice.  Wow, she was born in 1919. Imagine all the things she experienced in her life!

At the meeting with the Brits and their team to discuss marketing the $48 million dollar listing, one of the women suggests bringing in some high-end art for the walls. YES! That would help so much. The whole place is sharp angles and empty countertops right now.  David and James have a major disagreement about partnering with Equinox Fitness for marketing by allowing them to shoot a video there.  I agree with James. Bad idea. Waste of time. But since this is a promotional exchange for Bravo, I’m sure the edit will be that it worked splendidly.

Altman’s porn buyer fell through. The Brits have already told Altman the house is overpriced. Altman is looking for an overseas buyer.  He gets an offer from Korea for $7 million. The finally agree to $7.45 million.

The video on North Faring is underway. I have no idea how this will help sell a house. Plus the video is filming over four days. Four days they can’t show the house. I love watching David and James bicker. I can believe this show is ending without showing what happens to the property!

Next Week: Josh Flagg is in a wheelchair wondering if he will ever walk again,  Josh Altman is out to dinner with Kyle and Mauricio calling the Brits the laughing-stock of town.  I have a feeling they lost their listing and should have listened to James. And Altman’s fiancée is upset over wedding planning.

I am so IN for #MDLLA !

    Nice recap. I think the Brits will prove to be interesting. I miss Madison. RIP Edith Flagg. The relationship with her grandson was an inspiration to all.

    Enjoyed the recap too ! I do not like the Brits either. I miss kinda Madison and that wierdo of all wierdos Chad Rogers. I used to love when Josh Flagg messed with him.
    I hated that modern house too. The only way i would own it , is if someone else paid for it, then i would sell it asap.
    I liked the Bel Air house too, although it needs a lot of new finishes. Bel Air and Holmby Hills are much nicer than Bev Hills.
    The only interesting thing about the modern house (cant remember which one) is its on Peruvia Way which was made famous when the Beatles lived there for a time.
    I really LOVED the scenes with Edith and Josh. She not only survived the Holocaust, but brought polyester to the U.S. and made a fortune. She was supported generously many causes too.
    I will miss her.

        I am going to give them a shot. One thing they don’t need is any caffeine. The big house in Holmby Hills they listed is still on the market. One not too far from their just sold for $74 million (Walt Disney’s old estate). I like anyone who gets under Altman’s skin and if they come in pairs even better.

        AMEN. Go away – back over the pond. I love the Brits & have many British friends here in the USA. However, those two look so devious, their faces are sanded down and worse, they are just outright rude. I thought the Brits were all proper and manner centric…. guess not.

      Yes Eve Chad is the weirdo of the weirdos. Have you seen a pic of him lately? He’s is very muscular and still sporting that Justin Bieber haircut that makes him look like a semi-butch lesbian.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Josh Flagg’s visits with his darling grandmother, Judith. So, aware that their time together in the near future is measured by weeks, maybe months at most, I enjoyed their interaction so much more that, uhm, well, my eyes leaked and my wife got all touchy feely because she claimed, I got “weepy”. Whatever. The old gal was a class act, and she still had it going on. I’m sorry that her body ultimately could no longer accommodate her intelligence and passion, so God had to call her home. What a blessing she was to Josh, and I’m grateful that Josh generously shared his grandmother Edith, his treasure, with us, so we might also be blessed with her spirit, sharp wit, and wisdom.

      Tasos, just out of curiosity, how many if any penises are involved in your marriage?​

        If you meant to question if I’m gay, or even effeminate, I am neither, Tamara. Furthermore, how would your query about my marriage or orientation be appropriately posed here anyway?

          I didn’t mean to offend. I don’t know the gender of my commenters in many circumstances. At some point I assumed you were male, but when you mention a wife I thought perhaps you were a female, because straight males on this site are as rare as hens teeth. 🙂 ​

        Don’t take it personally, Tasos, Tamara wants to know about everyone’s penis and what they do with it. Fortunately I received points for mine. You gotta hit her up for points, I’m sure it was an oversight on her part and your penis slipped between the cracks.

          Exactly. But Tasos could have a wife and be female. So I was trying to determine whether the straight penis tokens were on the table. ​

      Wonder if his grandmother was aware that he had “borrowed” expensive art from his client’s homes without their knowledge? I think he has always come across as scummy.

    I’m not a fan of the Brits. That ome.brother talks sooooo slow. My fiancée pointed it out and now I find it super annoying. Sophia is a gorgeous little girl tough, imo. I want more Edith Flagg. (Assuming she is a Flagg)

    Ah dang I loved Madison. I missed where he went or why he left. Josh’s grandmother exemplified a grand dame. I was so impressed by her mind and energy at her age, I loved their interaction as well. There’s hope for us all. I love Altman too. He’s one cool dude. I never cared for New York issue. LA is the original and my favorite. Have to catch up on episode 2.

    Definitely missing Madison and not caring for the Brits. Loved Edith and will miss her so much as she was the primary reason I ever watched MDLLA . Appreciate the good recap as I had a difficult time paying attention to this episode.

    I suspect that Madison didn’t join this season because of his former best friend Heather’s relationship with Josh Altman. I can only guess that he did not need to be on TV to sell real estate, and to stay away from the drama.

      Really? He took himself off the show because the girl he was holding down made a decision on her own to grow professionally and become engaged to a competitor? If any of this is true then he is a big pussy and doesn’t deserve to be on the show.

      Maybe his Latin lover ditching him during taping, and the accompanying hurt and embarrassment of his desertion, combined with his dog’s death and Heather’s engagement; all losses, did it, plus his desire to put them all behind.

      I suspect the same. I immediately thought it was just too much drama. Not worth it.

    I really miss Madison too. He gave this show heart. If you hated the Brits this episode, you would have really hated them in the premiere. The buyer’s rep. wanted nothing modern. He wanted something warm. They seem to only have the modern look in their repertoire. No warmth to be found. They showed him some ugly ass houses. He ended up buying a tear down. He called them Burt and Ernie. The buyer’s rep was a total waste of space as well. He was gross. I figure if I don’t like the realtors, than at least the buyer might be entertaining. No. Ok, but the million dollar houses their selling should steal the show right? Million dollar house fail for these two. Flagg is going to have to carry this show. I believe he meets with Ryan from NYC on the next episode too. I’m not loving Heather so far this season either but nevertheless, I’m in for LA and NYC.

    The British guys seem like amateurs and I found them both obnoxious. This is sort of like outsourcing America to me. Also, so many properties in America are being sold to rich foreigners that do not even like us. The opposite type of story as Edith Flagg, may she RIP. Josh Flagg is my favorite, now that Madison is off the show. I always wondered if Altman is as big an ahole as he comes across on tv. I never could see how Heather could love him.

    I notice all the realtors on the show work for either Kathy Hilton or Kyle Richards husbands, with the exception being Josh Flagg. Keeping it all in the family I guess. What about Ryan’s company’s expansion to LA?

    The suggestion by someone here that Josh Flagg is an art thief is surprising. He could certainly pay for it. Has he been charged with theft? Hopefully not another cast member for a Criminals by Bravo show.

    I can’t stand David and James! They have absolutely no clue what they’re doing and if anything is going to make me stop watching this show, it will be the fact that I can’t stand to watch them for one minute.
