On Flipping Out Jeff Finally Fired Sarah

I got around to watching last week's Flipping Out episode, last night, followed by last night's new episode.

The new episode ended with Jeff Lewis finally getting around to firing Sarah Berkman. Sarah took it well.

It the previews it appears that Trace is the next person on the staff to feel the heat from Jeff Lewis.

Trace did not endear himself to Jeff during the Las Vegas combo Bachelorette Party for Sarah/Speech Event for Jeff, when Trace, along with Sarah and Jett, did not manage to make it to Jeff's speech.

I don't know why Jeff would expect otherwise, what with leaving the trio drinking in Vegas, after taking them to a strip joint, much to the shocked horror of the increasingly amusing Gage.

Every season of Flipping Out Jeff seems to have at least one whacked out client. This season, so far, it seems to be this lady named Stacey. Stacey thinks Sarah is a ravishing beauty of great charm. While she thinks Jenni was not struck with the pretty stick. Among other things.

I found Stacey quite bizarre. She definitely was not struck with either the pretty or tactful stick.

For me the most amusing moments of the night came when Jeff went to do a consult in Venice in a house with a little girl. This was a cute, fun-loving little girl. The Sarah replacement intern was tasked with looking after the little girl while Jeff consulted. That went well.

Then when Jeff and the mother returned to the little girl, while the mother went to get the little girl milk, Jeff told her to quit talking, because she was having trouble swallowing her cereal. The little girl then started crying. When the sobbing stopped she told her mom she wanted Jeff to leave.

That was funny.

I must say, while I fast forwarded through most of anything to do with the massive rebuild job on Zoila, the results were quite amazing.

I am guessing next week Trace does not get fired.

Flipping Out: Trace Gets Slapped

The looks on Jeff and Jenni's faces on last night's next to the last episode of the current season of Flipping Out are their reactions to seeing the client Chuck suddenly slap Trace.

Jeff had given Trace his first assignment with a client, now that Trace has graduated from Design School and is a full time Jeff Lewis employee.

Jeff told Trace to meet with the Chuck client to go over tile choices some more. And then to take Chuck to lunch, where Jeff told Trace a cocktail or two was permitted.

Trace took Chuck to Hamburger Mary's where Chuck got drunk and became too much for Trace to handle. So, Trace made a 911 call to Jeff and Jenni, at the office. They then came to the rescue at Hamburger Mary's, where Chuck kept getting weirder and weirder.

Including fondling Jenni where she did not want to be fondled.

After the Trace slap, Jeff and Jenni were stunned. Jeff did not know what to do. Eventually Jenni got Chuck away from the table and into the restroom. Jeff then told Trace to escape.

All in all the Trace slap was one of the stranger things I've seen on a Reality TV Show.

The Trace slap was not the only thing that happened on last night's episode, but it was the most memorable.

Everyone in the office, including Zoila, went to Trace's graduation, where Jeff's ADD kicked in. So, he, Sarah and Jett snuck out to drink beer til it was Trace's turn to graduate.

There was more trouble with no-show contractors at Jeff's various projects. Don't these contractors realize their bad behavior is being recorded on a Reality TV Show?

For next week's finale Jeff goes back to New York City for that Kitchen  project we saw him get picked for several episodes ago. The previews seemed to indicate something goes seriously awry with the kitchen. But,  previews are always so misleading.
