Flipping Out - Jeff on Stephen

It's difficult at times to understand what goes through Jeff Lewis' head, with regard to his employees. When he gets upset with anyone of them, Jeff is quick to bring out the "You're fired" card and lay it down on the table, usually as a veiled threat.

In Stephen's case, we see Jeff praising his work, one minute, then in the next scene, Jeff is talking to Ryan about getting rid of Stephen. The scene after that, Jeff is telling Jenni, it might be a good idea to back down Stephen's hours, to a couple days a week.

Would you have a sense of "job security", being an employee of Jeff Lewis and company?

Flipping Out - Jenni - Some last moment thoughts on Jeff

Jeff Lewis is incredibly lucky to have Jenni working for him. She is a, dyed in the wool, optimist.

Jenni, believes her boss has grown a lot over the last few weeks. Her take is,"He used to be extremely hard to deal with."

This video clip is a few of Jenni's last thoughts for the seasonal wrap.

Flipping Out - Jeff On Packing For Moving Day

Jeff is always moving from one house, to another; sometimes, it's twice a year.

I have a feeling Mr. Lewis has an open account at the bubble-wrap store. He probably their favorite customer.


Moving day, for anyone, is not easy. Trying to keep track of everything is close to impossible. I am in wonder, at how Mr. Lewis does this ritual two times a year and lives through it.

Flipping Out - Jeff's Advice and Tips to Flippers

Jeff Lewis may be obnoxious and eccentric, but he is also a pretty decent "house flipper".

This is the condensed version, straight from the Flipper's mouth.

Flipping Out - Appreciation Party - Part 3

So, in the end, I think it was a cool party. Good food, good wine, good friends, and some good vibes from Jeff Lewis, something that seemed to be sorely missing through the past episodes.

I am glad the season wrapped itself up on a good note. It was difficult for me at times, to watch Mr. Lewis in action. I had him pegged and made a few assumptions about his character that might not have been, right on the money. I guess, time will tell. There is a season two coming.

Flipping Out - Appreciation Party - Part 1 and 2

The appreciation party, Jeff throws, is mandatory. It did not start out like that, but it seemed everyone had an excuse not to attend, so Jeff got upset with everyone and made it law.

Jeff explains, to the camera, that he has been nasty to everyone and now they don't want to come, when he is trying to make up for it, with this party.

Part 2 of the video is directly below.

Wouldn't it have been cool if Anthony Bourdain catered the food and came in for a quick bite? I wonder if Jeff and Anthony would have hit it off, become best friends. Maybe even, did a spin off show, "Chef and Jeff"?

Did I see tears? Did I actually see some deep felt emotion rolling off of Jeff Lewis? Is this a first?

I think Jeff is trying to score points with God to help him get into heaven, just like he said, earlier in the show.

Part 3, of the party is here.

Flipping Out - Season 1 Finale

It is the last episode of the "Flipping Out" season. A lot has happened.

It seems fitting that, in this last episode, both Ryan is moving and so is Jeff. Two partners, two homes in transition.

In this episode, we get to see a kinder Jeff Lewis. Maybe because, it is the last real episode, and Jeff wants us all to see another side of him.

We do get to see him explain to Jenni, is reasoning for backing Stephen's job down to only a couple of days a week. Jeff's rational for this is, he is doing Stephen a favor.

Didn't we just see Jeff praising Stephen? Jeff couldn't get along without him?
