Hooray! We’re back with JF. He took Grandma Edith’s advice and decided to list the property in Rancho Santa Fe. I love that he points that out that “there are one or two Jews that live there.” I’m not sure why that made me laugh as hard as it did. JF then meets up with Brenda and Stewart. So, I lied earlier. This is the new TVgasm house. There are his and hers televisions. That is a dream come true for me! Also, this:
I want that toy train!
Let’s all start getting some money together and buy this house. I would totally move all the way across the country to live here. There is a ten person movie theater! Instead of chairs, they have couches in that theater!
I would even just buy this pool!
It’s time to sit down and talk price. Get your drinks ready. I have a feeling this is going to be a multiple shot meeting. I was right! Stewart argues with every comp that JF gives him. JF tells Stewart and Brenda that he thinks the house is worth something in the low $6 million range. We just see Brenda shake her head. Everyone drink! Stewart wants to price the house around $7 million. Drink! Brenda is worried that they’ll price the house so low that they’ll get low ball offers. JF explains that if the house is priced to high, there won’t be any offers. They agree to price the house at $6.995 million.
We’re back with JA (take a drink to get through it!) and Mikey at the brokers open for Deb’s house. Mikey got them some walkie talkies to communicate between the two houses. Why don’t they just use their cell phones? They probably should have because Mikey can’t figure out how to use the walkie talkies. Maybe JA’s stupid is rubbing off on Mikey. I need them to both stop singing. Mikey keeps forgetting the price and square footage of the three story house. JA explains that facts and figures tend to confuse Mikey. I don’t think that you can call remembering two numbers “facts and figures.” It’s remembering two numbers. Apparently, both of them have trouble with pens and paper because neither thought to just write down the information.
JA has no room to comment on anyone’s intelligence.
Really? Mikey has to ask if the builder has built anything else in the area. Are you fucking kidding me?
Madison is back at Camilo’s house. Camilo is a little disappointed in Madison. I’m a little disappointed that Madison hasn’t pointed out how much Camilo looks like Oliver Platt.
Just try to tell them apart.
Camilo is annoyed that they still haven’t found a house that meets his specifications. He thinks that this is out of Madison’s league. Madison has a good point. If it were so easy to find a house to flip and get a 20% return, then everyone would be doing it. It’s not really Madison’s fault that Camilo has found fault with every single property that they’ve looked at. Camilo gives Madison two more weeks to find something.
Motherfucker! Heather and JA are going shopping for ties. Why the hell do we have to see this? We actually get to see JA buy the fucking purple tie with a pink gun on it.
At least everyone will know he’s an ass hole just by looking at him.
While shopping, JA gets an offer for the one story house. It’s a bit low, but JA leaves to go call Deb.
JF is meeting with Rick who sells luxury cars. He wants to feature a few cars in the listing photos for the house in Rancho Santa Fe. When I move out of my current apartment, I think I’m going to take a picture of the building with my car in front of it. Nothing says luxury like a midrise apartment building with a VW Jetta out front!
We meet up with Madison again as he arrives home. I’m not even going to pretend I didn’t tear up a little bit at this part. He comes home to find cookies and flowers from his mom. Madison’s dog Rex passed away at the age of fourteen. I’m a total sap, but I was able to find his email address and sent him a pretty great screenshot I got of him with Rex. I know what it’s like to lose a pet, so I truly feel for him. Yes, I make fun of him weekly, but the death of a pet/family member/friend is where I draw the line.
Enjoy the Rainbow Bridge, Rex.
OK, that was enough sap. Now let’s get back to the snark! And snark I shall because we’re back with JA and Heather. Heather is working on an email to Madison. She wants to reach out to Madison about Rex’s death. Heather, don’t listen to JA. Reach out to Madison. I know you guys had a pretty bad falling out. However, I’m sure he will be glad to hear that you’re thinking of him right now! I wish we saw Heather act more like this. I don’t hate her as much when she’s being caring and mature and rational.
JF is back in Rancho Santa Fe. He had decided to co-list the property with Linda who is a local agent. This will save JF a lot of travel time. He decides to change the position of the cars because “who wants to look at the ass?” Apparently, most men want to look at the tits of a car. It makes me laugh that it took a gay man to get me thinking about cars in terms of ass and tits. This is just another reason I love JF.
Speaking of ass, we’re back with JA! He’s meeting with Danelle whose client put in an offer on the one story house at $3.45 million. JA came back with a counteroffer at $3.75 million. Danelle goes to call her client to see if he’ll come up a little more on price. She comes back with $3.65 million and that is best and final. JA then calls Deb.
We’re in Rancho Santa Fe again with JF and his adorable shoes.
This is how you know he’s related to Edith.
He and Linda are having a brokers open at Brenda and Stewart’s house. The turn out is really great. Most of the brokers think that the price seems a bit high (drink!). Linda and JF agree that they need to reduce the price. Although he doesn’t think that Stewart and Brenda will reduce the price, JF offers to try.
We come back to JA on the phone with Deb letting her know about the new offer. She thinks that $3.65 is just too low. They’re only $100,000 off, so Deb offers to split the difference. Danelle refuses to even call her client about it. Maybe he doesn’t want to come up because he knows that JA is wearing the fucking gun tie. Deb doesn’t think that the offer is good enough. Suddenly, JA’s phone rings. It’s Deb. She has reconsidered. She agrees to sell the house for $3.65 million. He stops Danelle as she’s driving away and then close the deal.
JF is meeting with Stewart and Brenda. He hates disappointing his clients – especially since these clients do business with his parents. As predicted, Stewart is not happy with the need for a price reductions. This is where we end the episode.
It looks like next week JF is going to get yelled at, Madison is going to to have a memorial for Rex and Heather will show up, and JA and Heather talk about “taking the next step.” I really hope their next step is breaking up and never being on TV again.

“Danelle refuses to even call her client about it.”
Am I getting California and New York mixed up? I thought somebody on one of these shows mentioned that the broker HAD to give ALL offers to the seller by law. I’m actually glad it’s not true, because a seller should be able to say don’t even bother me unless an offer is above some predetermined minimum.
Oh yeah . . . Camilo DOES looks like Oliver Platt. mrs crankguy said I was crazy when I mentioned it to her, but now I’ve got backup. I’d like to think that Oliver Platt is nowhere near the asshole that Camilo is, though.
@crankyguy: Glad I could help! I’m sure Oliver Platt is much nicer.
I can’t say enough about this show. I can’t wait every week for it to come on and it’s the first show of the night I watch on my DVR. I just wish it wouldn’t end. Hurry and bring it back as it is one of the best shows on the air. I like each one of the guys in their own way.
@crankyguy – I think the actual rule is that all WRITTEN offers have to be presented. But since telling a buyer “i’m not going to tell the seller unless you submit it in writing” might irritate everyone it’s probably a good idea to go ahead and submit the verbal offers too. Kinda like letting the cops in without a warrant: Technically you don’t have to, but do you really want to wait til they’re pissed off if you have nothing to hide?
Man do I love Grandma Edith. I think I will have to read her book. She and the newly likable JF are the only things saving this show. I miss Freddie! I miss NYC!
PS great job Pope!
@MrsMia: I think it would be hilarious if we started seeing “A Simple Girl” suddnely climb up the NY Times bestseller list all because of us here at TVgasm.
To weigh in on the submitting offers debate: If the client says “I don’t even want to hear a counteroffer unless it’s no more/less than X amount” I imagine that it’s OK for the agent not to call them with the offer.
I am sooo sad. I have been waiting all season for Fredrick to show up ..and he is going to be on MDLLA..BUT…
the bad part is that he will be working with JA…why does BRAVO do this shit to us…????
Also since I don’t trust that bitch Heather ..I hope she isn’t showing up @ Madison’s service to hound him for money. That would be just like her and JA..kick him down at his lowest.
I also felt sorry that Josh F. ( the good Josh) had to drive 3 hours for Edith’s friends…they were such jerks..I think they must have really wanted to be on TV..I can not see anyone wanting a listing broker 3 hours away..doesn’t make sense ..unless
1) They wanted camera time.
2) They expected Josh to do it for free.
Thats all glad I got to see it on Sat. during the day as it was still a bit of a snooze fest..if It had been a
@ night I might have fallen alseep again!!!
I almost forgot when Josh Asshole and H. were shopping for ties I threw up when he said about his new gun tie (that he has worn about 20x’s too many already this season) “I am the gangster of real estate”….I yelled a
@ my TV…
NO…..JOSH YOU ARE THE GANGSTER OF SHIT…
PopePhilly, sending that picture to Madison was a really sweet thing to do! I’m clearly a complete sap as well. One of my dogs passed away recently, and she had a really funny whine that was unlike most whimpering I’ve heard before, and it became a running joke to imitate it whenever something happened among my friends that we were mad about. Anyway, a friend of mine sent me a message saying that my dog was a good dog and she’d live on through her catchphrase, and that silly message brought me to tears for days afterward just because someone was acknowledging my pain. So I’m sure he appreciated your picture!
“I really hope their next step is breaking up and never being on TV again.”
And that sentence is why I love reading the recaps here.
@myfavoritesunglasses: I’m so sorry about the loss of your dog. I will have Lindsey say her kitty prayers for you (not a condescending “I’ll pray for you,” just something my friends and I say to each other when pet related things are sad). Also, Madison sent me an email back right away just to say thank you and that he loved the picture. He’s really turned into a class act in my eyes over the course of this season.
@labowner: Thanks! I’m still hoping for that. It also looks like there might be some “next step” talk for Colton and JA. I really hope their next step is not breaking up and ALWAYS being on TV.
I am so happy Madison contacted you and I hope he reads this column…
PP It was really nice of you to send that picture…I am also a dog nut..but after losing two dogs of old age in two years my husband said no more..he can’t take another death in the family. I am thinking of being a foster home to puppies that they bring up from kill shelters in the south..my friend does it and they do find homes for the pups. The last one she had was sooo sweet our neighbor adopted him right away….so if any of your readers have a few gates, a crate and some extra time it is a wonderful thing to do…
maybe the next step for Colton and JF is a baby..wouldn’t that be great..then BRAVO can do a show around their family and or course Great Grandmother EDITH..com on JF..your grandmother deserves a grandchild
@TV Junkie: I hope you can be a foster home! As soon as I have a bigger home, I plan on doing that as well. My Lindsey was a foster kitty before she came to live with me. When I met her, I couldn’t believe that no one had wanted her. I came into her foster house, sat down on the floor, and she just plopped herself in my lap. She very much adopted me. I always say I want to “pay forward” the kindness that someone showed to my little girl before she came to live with me.
I think Madison would be pretty happy with these recaps – especially since you can clearly see the evolution of my love for him as the season went on!
I’m sure we can all agree that any child of JF and Colton (and great-grandchild to Edith) would be the most stylish baby EVER!
Dear PopePhilly,
I just watched (last night) Gallery Girls..and loved it !!…so much material..so many people,events to mock…do you think you could be allowed to recap it?! You would be great…In fact we may have a date for Mikey from MDLNY on this cast ,a girl name Amy ,who lives on the Upper East Side and gets sloppy drunk..perfect for him!!! ..maybe Patti S. could Match them up….
@TV Junkie: That was nice of you to say. SG is already recapping “Gallery Girls” and I’m sure it will be awesome!
