Random Thoughts on Flipping Out

July 8, 2015 by tamaratattles 71 Comments

flipping-out-season-7

 

Finally getting caught up on this show, I am not going to recap it. I’ll just give a few random thoughts and let you guys chat about the show in comments. So last season’s idiot Andrew has been replaced with a new, even bigger idiot named Joe. Joe is too stupid to drop mail into a mailbox or label pictures accurately. Why do they hire morons? Are there no smart gay kids in LA?

The only redeeming quality Joe has is that he irks the piss out of Gage. That pleases me.

This week, Heather MacDonald is getting a home makeover. Heather and Jeff both admit they made out in a bar when they were in college together. He house is fugly. He needs to take everything out and start over.

Matthew is hired to help out Gage because Joe is too incompetent. Matthew used to work for Kris Jenner. Jeff says that Kris is such a ball buster that he came perfectly trained. In other words he is smart and he sucks up. As Gage talks nonstop in the car Matthew takes notes on his phone. Flipping out Jeff

I love car rides with Jenni and Jessie the painter. He is hysterical. And a super crappy driver.

Joe returns from a sick day to discover he has been demoted to Zoila’s assistant. Perfect.

Gage doesn’t seem to be as big of an asshole this season. Is he mellowing out? Growing up?  Maybe it’s just the new assistant.

Heather’s house came out nice. I was kind of surprised. I am not down with all the grey but whatever.

I can’t believe Meghan Weaver has a big beaver is back. Ugh.

    I can’t stand Gage. It’s seriously hard for me to watch him. His new assistant seems very sweet and very nervous.

      Gage turned me off the show a bit. He was too passive aggressive and whingy. The poor staff performance makes the show interesting/funny. Gage harping on about it was irritating.

        ^^ same

        And the worst aspect about it, for me, is that you know Gage is bitching and moaning about that shit in his pillow talk with Jeff. I think Gage has learned to temper his influence on camera (Jeff is still the star, and fans are fiercely loyal to him and his decision making- for better or worse), but his influence, privately, only grows. I truly wish I liked him more.

        Jeff has shown moments of compassion and humanity… Which helps us continue to love him when he gets too cunt satchel-y. Gage- not so much.

        On this season’s first episode Gage again enraged me.

        After Jeff let the staff have it for their total incompetence, Gage replies to Jeff in front of everyone that he (Jeff) is also partly to blame for the fiasco.

        I could not believe he said that.

        Is it really asking too much for Jeff to ask his staff to create an acceptable presentation for a VIP client? OMG I work in the medical field, know next to nothing about their business yet I know I would have had enough sense to review the material before presenting it .
        Also order items promptly. Treat the client in a personable, warm style. Know their names ect……..

        Jeff’s big problem is that he has his partner in a major position in his business. It is clouding his judgement and disrupting the work environment.

        Can you imagine that same senario played out if the Gage role was instead simply a qualified applicant Jeff had hired?
        I think he or she could have been terminated.

        I thought I was the only person who could not stand Gage. I guess I’m not.

        I also have doubts about Gage’s entire relationship with Jeff. I think Jeff is genuine in his feelings. With Gage it’s just a gut feeling he has alterior motives, nothing more.

        My living room has a base of various greys (light grey walls and dark, modern grey sofas). It allows me to change throw pillows and accessories for pops of color (lemme cut Taekman a check for use of that term). Grey allows me to play with neutral, understated tones, jewel tones, etc. (I wish I could post a pic). But, Jeff’s style is

      My neighbors on either side have been fighting OUTSIDE for 3 days now. Did I mention it’s hot and windy so noise travels? I’d like to hire Jeff to come by and install some kind of high sound proof barrier walls or trees. So happy Jeff is back and loved him once again outing lying mcliar pants BG for her drink throwing stunt, secretly I think Jeff had a hand in her firing not fired.

And yes, Jujue, Jeff is real pretty. I am totally intrigued by his lips. Lord have mercy, about all I look at is his mouth.

      Yeah… We discussed that awhile ago. Apparently he said on WWHL that they weren’t doing it this year and he was bummed about it.

        Thanks for not shooting me.

        Almost everyone in Jeff’s group are a little mean.
        He accepts Jeff’s crazy co-workers and seems to work hard for Jeff’s business. He doesn’t have the personality like Jeff and Jenny, which is probably good.

        I agree with you 100% calipatti. He for sure puts up with a lot, and works very hard, which I do love. It’s interesting how Jeff surrounds himself with nutty people for the entertainment but chooses someone like Gage for life stuff.

      Makes sense to me. Jeff seems to be the last person who would appreciate a drink being thrown in his face.

    On WWHL Jeff talked about mending fences with Ryan Brown. He said theyve had several dinners and Chloe is 9 yrs old now. Cant wait for Jeff and Gage become parents. I like these shows MDL, Flipping Out ect over the Housewives. Did Jeff say who donated the eggs? Or are they using the surrogates eggs. I heard him say Jenny but i believe it was in jest.

      I’ve read that Shannon is Heather’s sister, but did some Nancy Drew sleuthing and I don’t think it’s true. Heather has a sister Shannon, but it’s not Shannon Beador. Heather was raised in the valley. Shannon was raised in La Jolla. I also think if they were sisters, that connection would have been made clear on the show. It’s not like Heather is afraid of being associated with the show, so she’d clearly pop up at one of Shannon’s events.

      I really should spend more time working and less time sleuthing.

The whole episode I was waiting for Heather to make some reference to her sister Shannon but it never came. On another note, how pissed do you think Heather was when she watched the episode & saw how Jeff kept saying over & over that she has horrible taste? Cracked me up.

    I love this show and everyone on it. As I said to my man last night, it’s a little smart, funny oasis in a sea of mindless reality. I like gage. He is usually right.

    And I liked that house just fine BEFORE they did anything. I love the gray trend that’s everywhere. Especially Sinatra Grey. Heh.

    I can’t imagine those two with a bay though. Neither of them really seems…nurturing. But…it’s a lucky baby anyway. It’s life will never be dull.

      I had the same thoughts about those 2 with a kid, but Jeff is very loving to his animals right? I think he would be the fun nurturer and Gage the more structured one. I can see Jeff giving up everything for a kid that was his own. I think. Now I’m having flashbacks of him throwing Chloe’s baby doll on the floor telling her “bad baby!”

        I only started watching last season. I don’t know who Chloe is. I have to go back and watch the older ones. I think with all the real estate guy show, I lumped flipping out in with them. I don’t care for those shows or the matchmaker shit. When someone has to SAY millionaire in the name of the show, you can pretty much bet they are not. Anyway,,I wish I had watched from the beginning.

        Chloe was the daughter of ex-business partner Ryan. She was about 2 yrs old, would be around 8 or 9 now. I saw that bravo was showing old episodes a day or two ago- you should definitely dvr those or search on demand. Jeff has mellowed quite a bit since then. He used to “Flip Out” almost daily.

      Can you imagine two Jeffs or two Gages in a relationship? I think they balance each other, and Jeff has acknowledged that Gage is good for the business. Jeff is good for the show, and Gage can handle the business. And I love Jeff talking about Gage finding his soul mate in Matthew.

        I didn’t like Gage previously but it seems like he & Zoila are doing better together so that makes me happy. And Jeff made a big point that Gage really helped the business grow so that helped me see Gage less as a gold digger. They’ve been together for 6 years? Are they married? He said something that made me think they were.

I don’t remember the name, but if you pick up a pottery barn magazine, it’s the one in all the pictures. I can look and let you know the colors I chose if you want. Let me know. I also have a bluish grey in the main level bathroom and a darker grey in the master.
