SNARED BY FLIPPING OUT
Authored by Leandro Delgado
I'm not prone to watch reality shows other than snippets here and there when channel surfing. However, there is one reality show that has caught my attention “Flipping Out”. My time is scheduled around this show. I control the www.cannonsatellite.com TV when this program is broadcast. I do not want to miss one minute of this show.
Originally, I had thought “Flipping Out” was about fl! ipping houses and is what caused me to tune in. Flipping houses is an aspect of the program. But, the cast is the feature that snared me. Perfectionist Jeff Lewis is a designer, who originally bought houses, renovated them and sold them. The last few seasons of the show have Jeff moving more in the direction of designer extraordinaire. Jeff's ability to design is not what makes this show. It is Jeff's expectations of his staff and his reaction when they do not meet those expectations that I consider the highlights.
Jeff Lewis has sent employees to the bathroom in tears. He has had to be scolded by his maid, Zoila, and his assistant, Jenni, for his actions. In one episode, Jeff expected on of his employees to apologize to his dog. The employee had not informed the dog he was taking it to the vet. Not being forewarned about where he was going evidently caused the dog undue stress.
"Flipping Out" is as good as any sitcom for laughs.
