It feels like it has been a million years since I have watched this show. It keeps getting pushed to the back of the pile because it’s not a show that gets a lot of action on this site. But I am hooked on the Brits and ready to see what happens next!
Josh Flagg
Josh’s parents want to sell the family home. Josh doesn’t want them to but is the listing agent. Josh has a family friend that wants to sell their home in Beverly Hills. I smell a house swap coming.
I hate the first house that Josh takes his friends to. It’s very tacky. The wife likes it. Josh takes the wife to see another house. Did I mention the wife and the husband want two totally different things. I love the second house. It’s sort of a farmhouse chic place with vintage appliances in the kitchen reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie. I would love it but I don’t see most women liking that kitchen. The wife likes everything. It’s the husband that will be the issue.
In fact, the husband shows up at Flagg’s office to tell him to quit showing his wife finished properties. He wants to do a full remodel, or even better a teardown with a view. Josh takes husband and wife to see a complete teardown with a great address and a perfect view. Josh gets the house at a steal for $3.5 million.
James and David
The $48 million house is getting some viewings, and James and David go out on a listing appointment to try to add a new property to their list. I always freak out when I see things like .52 lot size. Seriously? I have an acre for my little shanty and the neighbor’s lawn guy works 15 feet from my couch. These people need to move somewhere where they can afford some land! And how do you build 9,000 square feet on a half-acre with a pool in the back yard? Is it a sky scraper? I just backed up because I had to read the acreage again. There is no way this is all on a half-acre. The pool with its fancy fountains has to take up more area than that? IDGI? None of this makes sense to me. I just can’t get the logistics of this wrapped around my head. Anyway, the guy does NOT want to list. He wants them to get him a one month lease while he goes on vacation. And the rent must contain the number seven. This whole segment makes no sense to me.
James and David lay out by the pool at the Intercontinental to call contacts for the rental. They are reaching out to their entertainment clients for leads. Their plan is to show the house to multiple clients at once to build up a bidding frenzy.
Remember Martin from the RHOBH? He was one of Mohammed Hadid’s friends that they hooked up on a date with someone…. I forget who…Camille maybe? Or Kim? Anyway he brought a client to the rental property. It turns out the client, “John Brown” is the guy that was caught by paparazzi sucking of Fergies toes! This seems to be very exciting to the Brits, like they are now just two degrees of separation from the royals! They have back to back clients to show the property in order to prove interest. I guess this is how you rent a house for $47,000 a month in the Hollywood Hills.
The Brits get two offers of $47,000 and a bidding war ensues. One guy comes back with $50K but the seller won’t lease unless the number has a seven in it. The other person comes up to $55,000 but the crazy guy insists on $57,000 and gets it. He tells the Brits the listing is theirs when he gets ready to sell.
Josh Altman
Josh is out scouting a property that is under construction trying to determine the owner so he can get it listed. He sends Mikey to photograph any signs on the site that would lead to the owner. I hope Mikey doesn’t get dragged to court for “stalking!” LOL.
Altman goes to meet the owner’s representative. I can see why Altman went to such lengths to try to rent the place. It’s STUNNING. It has incredible views, a wine cellar and a “living roof” which appears to mean it is essentially a rooftop garden. I want. Well, except for the whole living in California with the freaks and the earthquakes. Um, present company excluded. The house is unfinished and the owner has walked away and gone home to Hong Kong. The listing price is $11 million. It looks worth every penny to me.
Josh’s brother shows up with a weird client named Sam. Sam wants the house. He tells Josh to stop showing it. Josh says to make an offer. His brother walks Sam out and comes back in to talk to Josh. He is trying to force Josh to hold the house. Josh has to show the house, he is obligated to the seller. Why doesn’t the brother understand this?
NEXT WEEK: The wedding planning begins in earnest for Altman and Heather. And Ryan Serhant rides into town to tangle with Josh Flagg.
Yes! It was a not-yet-sober Kim who was fixed up with Martin.
Love Josh Flagg. He knows how to make good tv. Missing Grandma Edith pulling lightbulbs out of her bra. So cute.
Me tooooooooo!!!
I thought that whole thing with that developer not accepting an offer without a 7 was sooo scripted.
I miss Edith. Period.
Get rid of those Brit twits. Two total phoneys.
Like Josh A. and love Josh Flagg.
Hated that big round window, cant remember which house, they all look alike.
That big round window was in the best house on the entire episode. It’s Altman’s listing. LOVED that house.

Eve… I agree with everything you said, love Josh F., Like Josh A although he’s starting to bug me , I HATED that round window, but I actually liked the rest of that house, but like you, I have no clue where it was, Lol @Brit Twits, are they brothers? Ugh they make my teeth hurt when they talk. Totally miss Grandma Edith
Agree with you on all counts. Especially the Brits. There are so many Brits I’d think would be wonderful on this show but these two idiots are cringe worthy. There is/was a real estate show based in London and those agents were a delight to watch. Flagg is the most interesting and the round window house was awful. Green roofs rot out and you wake up under a ton of debris. Like putting a swimming pool on your roof – water and soil are immensely heavy.
I wondered about that with the roof. It did look like a lot of dirt and odd ornamental plantings.
I don’t see what you guys find interesting about Josh Flagg.
The Brits will grow on you.

I’m British and I can’t stand the Brits either. Their petty squabbling is tiring and they don’t show the English sense of humor that can be so funny. I miss Madison. What happened to him?
I miss Edith, too. I’m totally naming my first born (daughter) Edith – not necessarily because of E. Flagg but she’s awesome.
I’m not sure about the Brits. Not hot on them yet. Altman is so slimy but in a love to hate way. I like Heather a whole lot and am really wondering about the falling out between Altman and Mauricio.
Longtime lurker, and big fan. I just had to say Tamara, those Brits make me mental! Do they TRY to act like the Goofy Gophers or is it natural? I’m not convinced they don’t spend hours practising in front of a mirror.
Green roofs are a money pit.
Yeah, those accents which i think are totally phoney are like fingernails on a blackboard. Of course they live in a place where most things are fake.
I spent a day in Bev Hills when i lived in So Cal. Each perosn i saw was funnier than the last. I went to shop, but i ended up being entertained just by watching these clowns go about their business.
So the two guys from London have Boston accents they are trying to cover up?

No, i think they probably had cockney accents and are trying to sound like a royal.
LOL. You think they speak the Queens English then? This just gets more and more humorous.

I LOVE FLAGG!
I HATE Altman & will forever think his girlfriend is a traitor.
I thought I’d hate the Brita but they’re silly. I was way over this show until the Brita arrived. They bring some slapstick. So what if they’re fake. The whole show is.
PS: Did I mention I LOVE FLAGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
