Andyourlittledog2 July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Jeff intensely focuses on expanding his business after firing employees in the Season 8 opener. He soon discovers that his remaining staffers can't handle all the delegated work, leading to a titanic meltdown. So glad he's back! I never tire of Jeffy. Bring on Season eight!! 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/
trimthatfat July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 (edited) Did we ever find out what happened to Lupe, the housekeeper? She disappeared, never to be heard from again. I remember Jenni saying a year or so back that they had no idea what happened to her. And I didn't see Andrew in the premiere. I assume he was fired. I only watched a bit of the show. Jeff's team did look like complete idiots in front of Chaz Dean. How can you present information about the space and its furnishings if you can't even label them properly? I was just looking at Jenni's instagram and she has the cutest little girl! She looks like a doll.

NYGirl July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 I cringed along with Jeff at that meeting with Chaz. I've been watching from Day 1 so I kind of know what presses Jeffs buttons. Joe is already annoying. I'm surprised he didn't fire him. I miss Andrew already. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1289474
TeapotWakeen July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 If they are going to keep incompetent staff around for "humor" then I prefer Andrew. He was at least in on the joke. Joe just seems like a child who has no clue how to have a job. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1289744
SFoster21 July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Joe is too pretty for Jeff to let go. That's what you get when you hire for looks. Jeff really hated that Chaz' non-Hollywood-looking assistant (who shall remain nameless because these cute twits thought she was not worth their notice) took him and his Team of Pretties down. Happy to see more real estate porn and less animals and Zoila. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1289830

biakbiak July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Interesting that Gage is now on board with selling Grammercy and getting back into the flipping business, it did make me wonder if his resistance to it last season was just a storyline. I don't like Joe but I don't miss Andrew and his whinyass voice. Zoila and Gage seem to be in a better place, yes she still fights with him but it seems more good natured than before and not dripping with contempt and vitriol like in the past. I wonder how long the dj has been with his girlfriend because he clearly didn't think she should have much of a say in the space until she got pissed. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1289924
trimthatfat July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 I laughed at how Joe said that he sometimes makes mistakes and forgets to do things as Jeff's assistant. Oy. Where does Jeff find these employees? Jeff really hated that Chaz' non-Hollywood-looking assistant (who shall remain nameless because these cute twits thought she was not worth their notice) took him and his Team of Pretties down. I was pretty bothered by the fact that no one even knew her name. I'm sure people in the office have been corresponding with her since the project began. I worked as an assistant many moons ago and it used to grate my nerves when people would act as if I was a persona non-grata. They'd butcher my name, conveniently forget to copy me on emails, etc. I'm glad Chaz's assistant was able to to make Jeff's team look as unprepared as they were. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1290156
zenme July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 I can't imagine it would THAT hard for Jeff to find someone more competent than Joe! It seems he's fucked up more than one, and the Chaz fiasco was embarrassing. Maybe Jeff should have Chaz find his next assistant! He seems to have a knack for finding good quality help. Hmm...they never even addressed what happened to Andrew. Maybe next time Jeff is on WWHL Andy will ask for us. I had initially liked Andrew, but sometimes his sense of humor was a little bit too raunchy, and he was always acting so damn thirsty. I prefer him not so over the top. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1290856
LIGirl July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 I'm SO happy that this show is back! "Flipping Out" is honestly one of my most favorite shows, especially on Bravo. I wondered what happened to Andrew, too. Even though Jeff still kept him around after all of his lies had come to light last season, I wonder if he was truly a famewhore through and through and Jeff felt he had to finally cut him lose. I don't understand why they keep Joe around, either, if he's such a fuckup. Again, my theory is that he is also a famewhore and Jeff keeps him around for show hijinks; I feel like he's most likely a producer-driven "character." Does anyone think Zoila really does that much housekeeping anymore? I know Jeff has commented that he loves her like a mother-figure, so that may be one reason why she's still around, but I feel like the fact that she's still there is also very much producer-driven. Afterall, fans do love her and she's not quite a spring chicken, so I'm sure her body doesn't allow her to do as much physical work for lengthy periods of time. I wonder if she will ever truly retire and if it will be anytime soon like the previews sort of hint at. For all of the grief he gives her (some of which I also think is for the cameras), I think Jeff would feel like a part of him is missing once Zoila decides to retire and return to her family. Is Jenni pregnant again? In some of her TH's, she looks like she has a little belly, but I don't know if it's just her clothing puffing out a bit from the way she is sitting, a bad camera angle, or she didn't lose all of the weight from her first baby. I hate to be that person to ask that, especially if she isn't, but just curious. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1290889
crgirl412 July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 The original showrunnner is back which is why Andrew might not be there. Here's a quote from the article below, "Individuals close to the production told TheWrap that star Jeff Lewis was unhappy with the creative direction of the show, feeling as though the it had taken a darker turn." http://www.thewrap.com/flipping-outs-original-showrunner-returns-for-season-8-exclusive/ 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1291158
LIGirl July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 Joe is very pretty and I'm sure that's why Jeff is keeping him. Well, needless to say, that is a very shitty way to run your business, and Jeff has no reason to flip out on anyone except himself when things like what happened at Chaz's meeting happens. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1291818
clod July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 why does Chaz keep giving business to Jeff? maybe the exposure from the show is a factor. Andrew: good riddance.

TaxNerd July 5, 2015 Share July 5, 2015 Sooo glad they are back! Loved seeing more real estate too! Seems like Gage got the stick surgically removed, as I actually saw him smile and joke around! Looking forward to a lighter season, as the last one got too tense with Gage vs Zoila. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28389-s08e01-what-the-flip/#findComment-1296263
kfree9 July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 I need to work for Jeff Lewis. I have no design experience and terrible decorating taste, but I totally feel him with his organization and OCD tendencies. I was cringing so hard during the Chaz meeting. Where is Andrew?! Has Jeff been on WWHL lately? I would call him to ask him.
