Flipping Out Recap: Generator of Doom


WEST KNOLL

Zoila wants a new vacuum, or maybe it’s an excuse to get out of vacuuming.  Jeff reminds her that Lupe doesn’t complain.  Lupe was hired to take Zoila’s place while she recovered from cosmetic surgery, but Jeff was impressed with Lupe and offered her a permanent, part time position.  Jeff enjoys how much it upsets Zoila that she has competition.

GRAMERCY

We meet Andrew, the new assistant.  Andrew is replacing Sarah and was hired by Jeff because he likes his taste level.  He’s in his mid- to late-30s and must keep a full-time job as a stipulation of his trust fund.  This works for Jeff because Andrew needs Jeff more than Jeff needs Andrew, and Jeff plans to take advantage of the situation.  There’s something about Andrew that I find more annoying than funny, whatever his taste level is. 

Hey, you guys.  Where did everybody go?

 

Gage and Jeff can’t resist playing a joke on Andrew.  They turned on a light, and when Jeff sends Andrew in the pantry to turn it off, Gage grabbed his hand causing Andrew to nearly pee in his pants.  Jeff’s right comparing working at Jeff Lewis Designs to pledging a fraternity, and it’s Hell Week…every week.

It’s a good thing he didn’t have a second cup of coffee.

 

JEFF’S CAR

Jeff is reading emails while driving, depending upon Jenni to tell him when the lights change to green.  He shushes her when she talks about the wedding planning.  Of course, this will only make Jenni talk about it more. 

SPRING OAK

Andrew has been stationed to babysit at Spring Oak since they are rushing to get the home ready for the owners’ arrival.  Jeff has a great eye for details while Andrew has great panicking skills.  Spring Oak has been a long remodel, including the firing of the original contractor.  The new contractor has worked well and Spring Oak should be liveable for the owners in a couple of days.

Damn you, IKEA!

 

Watching Andrew drop a wet vac down the stairs and make a mess was annoying enough that I would be tempted to push him every time I saw him near stairs.  Is that wrong? 

Andrew displaying his mad dropping and spilling skillz.

 

GRAMERCY

Jeff plans to get a generator for Gramercy since there are rolling blackouts.  Those things are huge, and the space is tight, so Jeff is thinking a helicopter might be a good way to get it in place.  Speaking of its place, Jeff and Gage disagree about where it should be located.  Jeff is strong-willed and it will be in a convenient location to install it.  Gage doesn’t think the generator is a good idea, so he’s not making it a high priority.  I agree with Jeff on this one, but his hair is distracting me.  It looks like it might be a wig or hair piece, or whatever it’s called.  Man hair?  Bro wig?

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

    I love Gage and hope he sticks it out ( OMG can’t believe I wrote that) with Jeff. Gage seemed to watch Jenny and her Dr. so sweetly in love.. and I think he looked sad .
    I would also say who in their right mind would give Jeff a baby..remember when he runied Ryan’s little girls doll….something like off with her head…turning the doll into the headless horse~ woman…but Gage is mature, kind and soft spoken…I hope he is the main parent.
    This show just gets better and better with each season.

    Did Jeff live in Gramercy with Ryan “Seacrest” Brown? If so, I don’t think he should live in it with Gage – too much bad juju. I agree with TV Junkie that Jeff is probably not good parent material. It’s always about him.
    Once you have a baby, it is never about you again.

    I think Jenny was joking about the wig. It’s been a long running rumor that Jeff wears a rug.
    He denies it.

    So excited for this new season!!

    I’m excited about this season, too! Wasn’t that sweet toast that Jonathan made at their engagement party?

    Yes, that toast was really sweet !! The toast was when they showed Gage looking kind of sad..I think…I wonder if he and Jeff will make it….
    Do you think Jenny will move from LA and Flipping Out? That would be soo sad, but would make sense for her to work on her marriage. She is really sweet and I would love to see her have a family of her own .

    @BSL it was sweet, but where’s Trace? Can we get him back? Do Jeff and/or Jenni read your recaps? Of course they do! Hey, bring back Trace! He’s so cute :-)

    @TV Junkie I hope it works out for Jeff & Gage and that Jenni will be around for years to come, too. …hope he sticks it out…hahaha!

    @wasabipeas I agree with you!

    @SarahJ I’ve been looking around online and keep seeing a mix of real hair vs hair piece. Could it be hair plugs?

    @Romo I liked Trace, too! Andrew is a mess.

    @BSL, my wig-dar has been pinging like crazy, and that last pic of Jeff clinches it. It’s a rug.

    Ditch Andrew and bring Trace back. Love the spa/Zen garden idea for employment.

    @snowshoecat your wig-dar hahaha! After watching Sheree try to rip off Kim Z’s wig, I was amazed how well those things can be attached. Hoping for you and Romo that they bring Trace back.

    @BSL, ouch. Missed that, but if the RHof… “ladies” had any smarts–which of course they don’t or they wouldn’t be the RHof… “ladies”– they would have breakaway extensions like movie sets have for furniture.

    Ya just know those puppies are going to be yanked at/off once in a while.

    Really looking forward to this season of your recaps.

    Oh, wow! Jenni and Jonathan look so beautiful together! Thanks for the link, TV Junkie. Super cute picturing Zoila as a bridesmaid. I hope they show it and glad fellow Gasmii are looking forward to this season of “Flipping Out”.

    Youknow I am surprised I’ve never really focused on Jeff’s Ken-Doll-do. It HAS to be a wig! I guess I’ve always been so distracted by his evil machinations that I really never noticed it before. Creeeeepy

    And I am so happy for Jenni that she found love, and that Zoila was a bridesmaid! How sweet is that? I hope she sticks around, Jeff needs that chirpy little weirdo.

    @Reagirl I know! I never noticed his hair before, either, but once she said it, it looks…
