Have I mentioned how much I do not want Jeff and Gage to sell Gramercy? I don’t know if I can take it. And it’s just a TV show. Why are they doing this to Gramercy? They already sold her, regretted it and bought her back ONCE. What more is there to understand. Gramercy is their home! Stupid idiots. Even Gage is getting on board.
Jeff wants a drone. That would be fun.
I love that Gage and Jeff are fighting because Gage wanted to watch Revenge and fell asleep and Jeff wanted to watch The Affair (so much better) but he could not because he already started Revenge. I want to have these type of arguments with someone I am sleeping with dammit! Life is not fair.
A company called living spaces that focuses on furniture and home décor approached Jeff and Gage and wanted to tie in to their brand. Yes, I hate that I just called it their brand. Gage is growing on me this season. Anyway Jeff told them that he hated their furniture and Gage was rightly mortified. This year Jeff was hired by Living Spaces to elevate their brand and freshen up their look. He is choosing items for a catalog shoot and he also is helping them pick future furniture. Jeff is taking over half the job from the girl , Channa, who used to have the entire job. Not surprisingly, they don’t get along. 
Idiot Joe is still Zoila’s assistant. Joe doesn’t get he is the assistant to the maid. Joe is stupid in so many ways. He can’t even wipe a cabinet without asking Zoila how to do it. Basically, Joe is more work for Zoila.
Jenni drives a Mercedes SUV. I shouldn’t be surprised. But I am.
Jeff stopped the catalog people from using studios and now the stage real houses. This means pulling all of their stuff out and putting in the Living Spaces stuff. Seems like a huge pain in the ass. Jeff only likes a couple of rooms at the location for photos. They opt for an outside shoot instead. Jeff is an amazing interior designer. I used to love doing that. Then I got complacent and stopped giving a shit.
Channa did not bring enough accessories for Jeff’s shoot. The implication is that she is butt hurt over having half her job taken away by Jeff. I’d be butt hurt too. Jeff feels lik Channa is sabotaging his shoot and is poaching his accessories for her shoot.
I cannot handle the showings of Gramercy! #FixItJesus.
Jeff is getting annoyed with Channa. This does not bode well for her.
Zoila and Joe got to the dry cleaners. And the pet store. I love Zoila. Zoila wants to hook Joe up with someone. Male of female. She suggests he go to the strip clug. Zoila loves her some strip clubs.
Back to Jeff being passive aggressive with Channa. You can tell he is furious. But he is getting much better at hiding it. Jeff’s staging still has to be a million times better than Channa. But Jeff is still worried. Why?
Channa is starting to get testy with Megan Weaver with the big beaver. Megan looks like a shit disturber.
I love when Zoila gives Gage shit.
Back at the shoot. Three shoots now and Channa has sabotages all three. Jeff wants someone else to be responsible for bringing the accessories. Jeff is going to the boss about this. I felt that was sort of a dick move until he acknowledged that himself and pointed out he just needed his accessories to show up. In the end, of course his shots looked awesome. This was a unique and interesting episode.
Jeff and Gage get a good offer on Gramercy. My stomach drops Jeff and Gage love this house and are having second thoughts. I hate Bravo for dragging my emotions through this. But damn they are good at that. Who produces this show. They could teach the RHOA production team a thing or two.
FUCK. After the commercial break, Jeff signs the fucking contract. #FIXITJESUS! I hate this.
BAM! TWO RECAPS IN TWO HOURS. The bitch is back.
Yeah, the Bitch is in fine form!
Great job TT I’m really glad you are feeling better. Gage is growing on me as well and I can’t believe they sold Gramercy! Now they will be sharing 628sq feet that will be very interesting!
Yay! Sooooooooooooooo happy our bitch is back! 🙂
#jesusfixedit!
I’m with you TT. What the heck is Jeff thinking selling Gramercy? It’s going to be the same as before. If he goes through with it, he’ll just end up regretting it again. The house we live in is my Grandmother’s house that my Dad built for her during WWII and after living most of my adult life away from here, 11 years ago it drew me back home. That’s the same thing Jeff has going with Gramercy. He loves the idea of moving and doing something new but Gramercy always calls him back home. This might sound awful, but I hope the deal falls through.
I am bummed he sold Gramercy, too. It was a cool house.
And Zoila is for sure my favorite reality TV personality!
It hasn’t aired yet on the west coast, but I am depressed to read that he is actually selling Gramercy. Who wouldn’t want to call that house their home?? If he can see Gramercy as just a profit maker and sell it, then he doesn’t deserve it! Maybe he should auction it off in a lottery! I would buy a ton of tickets!
Gage is a bitch!
A Barbie bitch.
Gramercy was gorgeous! I started to have hope when Jeff was second guessing the sale.
I love this season and I’m already a huge fan. A perfect touch of crazy with a lot of growth from Jeff. Not as many meltdowns but still a flip out here and there!
And yes, total sabotage by the living spaces girl!
I wish Zoila had ripped the contract up.
Am I the only one becoming uncomfortable with some of the shit Zoila flings at Gage? I think the one that made me really squirm was in confessional – that she hopes Jeff is the father because she wouldn’t want the baby to be Gage’s (or look like Gage…. damn, I am tired). OK… the back and forth, to his face…. he’s a big boy, he can tell her to knock it off. But the confessional bugged the SHIT out of me because (a) it wasn’t teasing to his face, and even if she was joking – DNA or not – that baby is going to be Gage’s. If Jeff is the bio dad, that baby will have a sibling whose bio dad is Gage. She’s pulled statements of “Jeff is my boss, this is his house” when yes, house may be in his name, but this was also Gage’s HOME and Jeff is his partner. I don’t want her saying “This is Jeff’s baby”.
I just think she’s really starting to cross a line. Not loving her as much this season. (I’ve always liked Gage – he has the right balance of being different personality wise to Jeff, yet similar in attention to detail, work ethic, etc. because if they were both over the top like Jeff, it wouldn’t be a good fit. I do get why others haven’t warmed up to him though)
I have to imagine they (Jeff & Gage) are fully aware of the tone with which Zola is going to speak about Gage in talking heads, etc.. I would think she is encouraged to show animosity for entertainment purposes. Can’t imagine she walks around in real like treating him all 2nd class.
Zoila, as a character, is very similar to Rosario the maid from “Will & Grace”. They both love to hate on their bosses; but I really do think Zoila has a genuine dislike for Gage, and every time she calls him a “Bish” an angel gets some wings.
I stopped enjoying her last season. Whether or not it’s how they want her to act towards Gage, it isn’t pleasant to watch or funny to me.
I don’t enjoy the Zoila/Gage exchanges either. There’s a mean undertone from Zoila that seems disrespectful. But, Gage doesn’t react too strongly, so maybe we’re just not seeing more friendly banter. All in all — this is the BEST show on Bravo!
To me it seems to be the least scripted & manipulated reality show on Bravo. All the other shit on Bravo is so fake & set up to create drama.
Exactly, UF. These people are going through their busy work days and we get to follow along. I love it.
I agree that it seems less scripted, and I’ve loved the show since his first season. I just don’t find the manner in which she treats Gage amusing.
Maybe you didn’t see the first season with Gage where he treated Zoila like shit all the time. She was with Jeff through the last guy and will still be there with Gage is gone. #TeamZoila

You’re right – I missed a lot of that season while taking care of failing parents. The only live TV I watched was late night TCM – thank god for that station! I do hope that is all fake for the show….on both accounts.
I think Gage thought he was going to be able to boss Zoila around when he came. Zoila put a stop to that right away. Jeff didn’t appreciate it either. I think they have come to a slightly better relationship but continue to insult each other, mostly for the camera’s now.

I didn’t start watching until after that season, too — I can see Gage being arrogant with Zoila. He’s got that entitled air about him. And, Jeff clearly loves Zoila and I think once he embraces someone into his family, he is extremely loyal and protective. There’s a good heart under there.
I love Gramercy house, they put so much into it.
Yes I think Zolia can be funny however she seems to really hate Gage. She stares at him with a weird expression.
Gramercy is a unique house, but one turn down in Jeff’s business that stairway just wasn’t time efficiency, I think, well I like Valley Oak better
I wonder if Zoila “MAYBE” has a crush in Gage :), but it’s a disappointing that he’s gay and moreover her boss’s boyfriend ‘whoops’ 😀
Weirdest comment of the day.
When the credits roll, it says Jeff is executive producer, and Jenni is co-executive producer.
That is tge career she originally wanted. She must be making bank of of bravo.
I used to love watching Jeff in earlier seasons. He always made me laugh. Now the show is a repeat of two stereotypical gay guys who have to make every little freakin detail a drama induced spanish inquisition do or die scenario. Its annoying. Belittiling others and pulling them into their queen hissy fits all the time is no longer entertaining to me.
And you sound like the stereotypical girl from Kentucky. Not much interaction with gay people I’m guessing.
Gramercy is gorgeous beyond & almost makes me think I can rip out all my kitchen cabinet doors and replace them with black inset ones like Jeff & it wouldn’t look like a mentally incapacitated person designed it, but deep inside I know it would look that way..
Loved Gramercy! Can’t believe he sold it…… I like Zoila’s snark only because I only half believe it and don’t think there is any real animosity there.
No more Gramercy! I am so sad!! They are going to be living in those tiny houses until they buy a new one? They are all going to kill each other.
I wonder if Jeff bought Jenni the Merc. He bought one for Zoila a few seasons back.
I love Gage. He and Jeff seem perfectly suited for each other. His exchanges with Zoila are always hilarious.
Zoila is having so much fun with her own assistant and Joe seems to be pretty happy in the job as well. Now everyone has an assistant that suits them. 🙂 I love this show.
I was cracking up when Jeff used a breath spray to calm himself down so he wouldn’t explode on evil Channa.
Great recap, TT! Thank you.
They’re going to regret selling Gramercy. Again.
I can’t imagine being around Gage 24/7, so I give Zoila credit there.
God, I love Jeff Lewis and his breath spray. The situation with Channa must have been mortifying for her, but at best she was doing a poor job and at worst she was being super shady.
Living Spaces must not have been able to afford a full Jeff Lewis catalog, so they give him all the good product, the front half of the catalog and the front and back covers and then send the rest to Channa on the cheap. So she’s left dealing with the undesirable product. No wonder she is pissed. But she will never outsmart Jeff, so she may as well give that up.
I love Gramercy, but I am sooo excited to see his next home. Jeff has amazing taste. I looked at the Living Spaces website and there is a very noticeable difference in the Jeff Lewis-designed rooms and what I assume to be Channa-designed rooms (blech).
I love Gage. Cute little chocolate-covered Gage and his little clone Matt (more Matt please).
Tamara you were surprised by Jenny driving a Mercedes? I was surprised to see Zoila in the BMW.
I looked through the May 2015 catalog online. Jeff’s pages have a “Styled by Jeff Lewis” symbol in the corner and, yeah, big difference between Jeff’s pages and the others.
That’s LA, cars are status. You can live in a studio apartment but have a Porshe (leased) in your parking space.
Jenny makes a good living and her husband is a doctor.
I like the Tesla, beautiful automobile.
I am sure that Jenni can afford a Mercedes SUV. For some reason it just surprised me though. We have come to know Jenni as a normal person who went through a divorce and had some financial struggles for a bit and then got a nice doctor for a husband and a baby. For some reason on this show I am able to forget how well paid they are. Especially Zoila who Jeff makes sure draws a tidy little Bravo check.

Love me some Jeff Lewis and his dysfunctional little family. This show was funny when it first came on the air, but I think it has aged really well like fine wine and they are all comfortable with each other. Gage really softened up and got me when he was being so tender with Stewie. We’ve now buried two cats with Jeff and Gage and each time I feel like it’s my own pet. But I love how loving Gage is with all the animals. They really treat them all very, very well. Zoila has THE best job in the world and if she ever decides to retire, I wanna be considered for her job. In my eyes she is the star!!! Jenny’s earned her battle scars and rightly so. Jeff must be hard to work for but they seem perfect together.
One of my fave Bravo shows for sure.
Agree 100%. Best show on Bravo.
The episodes with the cats just tore me up. When Jeff said to Monkey “thank you for being my cat” OMG……….. Jeff is a complex guy and I absolutely LOVE how he is with animals, and yes Gage is very gentle and tender with them too. . Jeff always gets rescues instead of buying purebreds which I greatly respect. He has a pic of his new kitty on his FB page–(digging the dirt from a plant nontheless lol). They even wrote me back when I sent email condolences both times with both Stewey and Monkey. I was surprised and thrilled ! LOVE FLIPPING OUT !
Flipping out is fun and I love the work they do. I love watching Jeff interact with just about anyone. Jenny too. Jeff has really grown in his responses, and I think he handled the channa situation perfectly, notably because he acknowledged his reluctance to talk to the boss.
The latest Living Spaces catalog arrived in the mail today. They sure timed it well for a tie-in with this week’s episode. The first 1/3 of the catalog is all Jeff Lewis, including a photo of him and a small write-up. Those pages are all stamped “Jeff Lewis” at the top corner. You can sure tell the difference between his third of the catalog and the rest of it. They were pretty smart to team up with Jeff…I think they have really upped their game.
Maybe the online catalog is smaller than what you have, but all of his room have his color on the wall? Thought they shot in the house with white walls. And I agree w/you, his pages stand out 100%. Wish they delivered in NC!
I finally started watching my recorded shows because it sounds interesting when I read about it here.
Last night I watched the one with Spirit in the backyard and questionable odors.
So glad I’m tuned in again.
I loved Gramercy too but i understand this is what they do.
This morning Jeff announced (via FB) that he was fired from Living Spaces. Apparently “#channagate” was one of the reasons.
Jeff Lewis deserved to be canned from Living Spaces.
He has humiliated people and slandered many small businesses many times for years on “Flipping Out”.
It’s about time a big business retaliated and stood up for those that were not in a position to do
so.
Bull hockey. I can’t think of one instance where he slandered people. If anything, I appreciate that he hires independent contractors. You think that painter that has a crush on Jenny works for a big construction company? Hell no. Bet he pays them on time too – they keep coming back. Channa had opportunity to correct her mistakes. When he spoke to her about the missing items HE had purchased… she frankly should have busted ass to make sure that all the items and more were there in trucks ready for him by morning – even if it meant personally loading the trucks all night. Did you notice how Jeff, Jenny, and Gage were going out and checking the roofs etc. on all the projects? That is what you do when you are a small general contractor – no matter what the price tag. I know most people thought that was BS – just for the camera – but I know better. I’ve had those kind of days.
I stand by my comments.
Then why the hell do you watch?? Bother to comment?? I think the Duggars are reprehensible cult douchebags. While I might read the occasional article in my newsfeed, I certainly don’t watch nor do I bother commenting on blogs.
Plus… your comment is so brief that I have to believe that you dn’t have a single solitary example of slander. (while I have plenty of examples of douchebaggery and examples of the Duggars being a cult)
Believe what makes you happy. I stand by my comments
