Posted in: Million Dollar Listing, Recaps

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome to another episode of “Million Dollar Listing LA.” We pick up just where we left off last week – at “Cirq deGeorgina.” Why does JF keep calling it that? Does anyone know? Is he referencing anything?

Maybe this is Georgina.

OK, let’s get right into the drama. Madison notices Heather and JA have just come out by the pool. Madison is clearly nervous because he busts out a random Borat impression. JA just starts pacing around the pool. He urges Heather to go speak to Madison. JA is pretty pushy with Heather. I think we now know for sure who “advised” her not to take the severance package Madison offered. 

JF goes over to talk to Madison and company. Then we jump back to Heather and JA. Heather is trying to explain that she wants to talk to Madison privately. JA goes on to explain the situation to us again. He also thinks that Madison owes Heather commission on properties that closed after she was fired. The way Madison explains it, the commissions were a bonus for Heather. He’s right. If you get fired, you don’t get your bonus. The end.


This smug look is because Madison knows I’m finally agreeing with him. 

As Heather approaches Madison, he just tells her that he’s a little busy to talk to her. Heather starts laying on the guilt trip pretty thick. Madison is having none of it. He basically just smiles and nods and lets her think whatever she wants. The he calls her “a brat, vindictive, selfish, and manipulative.” Then Heather proves him 100% correct by throwing her glass of wine on him. 


Nope. Nothing bratty going on here!

Then JA jumps in with “You have no class, bro!” I’m waiting for him to just yell, “Come at me, bro!” I’m sure he’s said that many times before. OK, JA, you can stop saying “bro” now. It isn’t until JA tells Madison’s brother to “shut up” that Madison starts to lose it. We finally get to see the scene from the opening credits where he yells, “Don’t get in my face! You’re a little piece of shit, and I’m over you!”

As Madison turns to walk away, he tells JA, “You’re a bitch too, by the way.” Then JA starts to storm after him. He starts harassing Madison about how many deals he has in escrow right now. Apparently, JA knows that Madison has only two deals in escrow. Why does he care so much?

There is so much douche coming off this picture.

I don’t know why JA felt the need to resort to insults like this. First of all, it isn’t really his battle. It’s Heather’s battle. Second of all, he’s just making himself look worse by completely going off topic and just ranting at Madison. He really doesn’t know how to hold it together. I never liked Madison much before. However, after watching him react so calmly, I really do respect him. It would have been easy to stoop to JA’s level, but he didn’t. He took the high road. As a result, he gets the PopePhilly Stamp of Approval. The whole time, JF is just uncomfortable.

The youngest person there is the most mature. Go figure.

Even as Madison turns to leave the party, JA can’t help but yelling more insults at him. Then JA tells Heather that she did the right thing. Really? Her dumping her glass of wine on Madison was the right thing? Her letting JA act like an immature little kid was the right thing? Heather is an adult. She could have easily handled it like an adult without JA’s “help.” I’m starting to think that JA might be a really controlling boyfriend.

JF and Lisa are just glad that this ordeal happened toward the end of the evening. JF is worried that this is going to cost him sales on the house. I think he will be OK. He clearly wasn’t involved in any of it.

We’re back with Madison. His mom is visiting! I think it’s rather cute when Madison’s dog runs up to Wendy and Madison starts saying, “There’s grandma!” I do the exact same thing when my cat runs over to my parents. 

Obligatory cute animal picture!

Madison is happy that his mother is in town because she reminds him of what is important. I agree. Moms tend to make things better. Madison tells his mom that the rain reminds him of the time when Heather was working for him. Whenever it rained, they would run to the end of Malibu Pier and eat cheeseburgers and milkshakes. I’ve just noticed that Madison and Wendy almost have the same haircut.

    At least I got my answer as to why JA let Jamie shit all over him. It’s because Jamie has thirty other professional athletes as clients besides Orlando.

    I hate JA and Heather thay are such low class!.BITCHES>>>those two are King and Queen Stereotype…Heather the Bitch deserves nothing but a quick kick and should have been pushed in the pool..she would have come out like a drown rat with a huge nose..
    Speaking of huge noses….perhaps Madison can “pay her” by giving her the name good plastic surgeon so she and JA can get a double discount nose job…perhaps with smaller noses they may look better and less offensive..(.not act).. but look..they will never have the class of JF and Madison…Yeah Madison for walking away
    Also Madison seems in a much better place than JA even if JA got”the( horiffic) girl” and has more listings..
    I loved the home movies and the visiting kid ..even though I think he was a plant from BRAVO

    I just did a litle research on JA I googled his page @ Hilton and Highland and it looks like he has several pages of listings..very deceptive..because if you click on each listing until you get to the listing agent you will fine it is a different agent..unlike Madison’e page where there are only 4 active listings, but they are his..

    I just googled JA’s page on Hilton and Highland ..even though it looks like he has several pages of listings he doesn’t ..it is very deceiving, because when you click a few times to get to the listing agents name it is not his listings..unlike Madison’s page where there are only 4 listings, but they are his..not everyone else in the offices….

    …..it would take some work to find out how many big nose..oops I meant big mouth JA really has ..and who cares…because he is not even worth it ..he is such a loser..kicker..give me a break..how moronic is that ?!..really who would admit to being a kicker , but a loser…
    I also loved the shot a few eposides ago when JA didn’t have his shirt on lots of muffin tops and flab..he is so out of shape…then we have Madison without his shirt ..like a Greek God all musclebound!!!!
    Lord help us all.. Madison is such eye candy

    JA should have kept his freaking mouth shut. This was between Heather and Madison and it was none of his business. Heather needs to put her big girl panties on and act like a professional business women, they made asses of themselves in front of all their peers and very well may have cost them future business (who would want to deal with these assholes?) I hope Madison doesn’t pay her another penny and that goes for her severence pay also.

    I just watched that episode and I too have now been pulled into the pool of Madison supporters. That was an unsightly spectacle, even moreso than that ghastly house. I can’t begin to imagine why Heather feels that she should receive bonus money after being fired. I am sure that they had a contract stipulating exactly what she is entitled to, and Madison doesn’t seem foolish enough to ignore a contract. Heather’s manners were horrible, but JA screaming at the top of his lungs that Madison should “pay my girl” $7000 was just absurd. They were just disgusting. Now I am a Madison fan by default I guess. Way to keep it classy Madison!

    Staged drink throwing.

    Madison kept his hands behind his back while the drink was thrown so his shirt would be a big target. The crazy chick ,Heather, had just enough in the plastic cup (deClasse`) to wet an area without doing too much damage to the ugly expensive sweater. I don’t even think it wasn’t Madisons sweater. He was told to wear it over his shirt to protect it so the crazy chick could throw a drink at him.

    I tell ya, I think it was a set up…

    PS,

    I would pay $ to hang out with Josh Flagg. Even if it meant just hanging out in monogramed robes and slippers for awhile and then meeting Grandma for lunch… ;}

    I’ve only seen up to Madison’s mom, since I picked up sometjing while sitting at the OKC airport for 5 1/2 f*g hours!

    I’ve been so sick, and watching JA & Heather made me.sicker. God, is JA really a douche & a brat. He acted like a freaking middle schooler. And I’m sorry but Lisa or JF should’ve done something or kicked all of them out, including Madison’s group. I have no respect fpr madison, but his classiness really shown in the way he handled himself.

    Oh, and I think I love Wendy now, too.

    I’ll probably watch the rest tomorrow, while I’m recuperating from Tueberculosis, Pneumonia, or the West Nile virus. (Hubby’s diagnoses’). @@

    @Robinez: JF should start a business just letting us all pay to hang out with him and Grandma Edith. I would save up so I could do that weekly!

    @hutchlover: Feel better! Hopefully it’s not all three at once. :)

    @Mina: Thanks for clearing that up! I thought maybe it was the name of the neighborhood or something.

    @TV Junkie: There are lots of great pictures in there! Tons of Edith when she was growing up and a lot of her design sketches. My favorite one is a picture of her and Eric (her husband) receiving an award for their charitable works – along side Carol Burnett. There are even some cute pictures of baby JF!

    The picture of JF on the back of the book might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

    PopePhilly,

    Thanks for making it happen!

    And, Thanks to TV Junkie for suggesting it. :}}

    Sounds like a fun addition to TVGasm.
