- Catch up with Jeff! He talks new season, new attitude, and more!
The last twelve months have been extremely difficult for a lot of people, I am no exception. The flipping business has come to a temporary halt. I miss doing what I love, but I know it is only temporary. In the meantime, I had to restructure the way I do business. I began working for clients full time and it has been a big adjustment. I have been my own boss for the last nine years, and I now realize what most people go through in the challenges associated working for other people. It’s not all fun, but I realize I must make concessions and adjustments in this time and I will continue to do what I need to in order to provide for myself and my employees. I continue to stay positive even when I want to feel sorry for myself. When I get depressed, I try to be grateful for what I have even though others have more. I find that most of the time a positive attitude helps, but that sometimes alcohol and emotionally eating work better. I have gained 10 pounds and I don’t plan to lose it until the recession is over. I dream of the good old days when I had more money than I could spend and I could tell anyone I wanted to f… off. I long for the days when I can again tell people where to go without the fear of losing their business and having my car repossessed.

Jeff, am I the only person that gets you?! You are hilarious, you don't need to be on medication and I love your dry, dry sense of humor. I don't understand why people think everything you say and do is serious...they completely miss the point. Keep it up!

Being a small business owner myself I can relate to many of Jeff's challenges. My husband and I just started watching the show and we are now new loyal fans. Just today I went online to find the name of the show since I had forgotten and it was drivng me crazy!
Jeff we wish you another successful year and what a great team you have!!

I am a fan of your show, I don't always have time to watch, but took time out the other night for the 'Rachel' shows. What was she thinking showing up late twice? I am sorry but I agree 100% with you on punctuality! Is she kidding with those tears? Seriously grow up, is what I probably would have said. But that's me... you were more sensitive and nice. Then the next show she just up and gives you notice on a Friday? That was appalling! She should've counted her lucky stars you gave her a job, much less continued to keep her when she was just sitting there doing nothing! Ok well, I am sure you have another assistant already, but if not, let me know!! I'm over the top about being punctual and love cleanliness!! :)

Jeff, don't answer to anyone but yourself. The one thing that impresses me about you is your attitude of self and your "give me no respect and I walk attitude". My clients know up front with me that if you disrespect me..I don't care how much money you have....I walk because you can't buy my respect. My self worth is everything.

Jeff, you're a pain in the behind but we're rooting for you here in Seattle. You gained weight? What weight? I'm glad to see that you have a more cohesive group of people working in your house this season. You deserve so much better than Chris and it seems Trace is doing an outstanding job. I'm anxious to see Jenni find a good man and speaking of which - I believe your oh so loyal viewers might be interested in your love life, if there is one. Care to share?

You are such an interesting person. I'm so happy that you are doing another season and hope you continue for many, many more. Thanks for putting yourself out there for all of us to watch. Please don't give Jenny a hard time about what Chris did anymore. It isn't her fault and it was very heartless. He hurt her way worse than he did you. I love you and the show and wish you all the best.

Dear Jeff,
Just like you, my wife and I have a hard time to understand why is so hard to deliver a high quality job. Everybody demands the very best from everything however at the same time they invest the least amount of energy and care to do their own work. The very best should be reserved only for those whom provide it. I can even imagine, “Sorrow assistant looking for lousy dentist” or “Obnoxious school nurse need a sloppy sergeant.” Unfortunately we cannot tie them together so they can enjoy each others’ company.
I am truly appreciating the quality that you produce.
Sincerely,
Lucius

Jeff, I am soooo with you on the 'brown' salsa, I go to Baja specifically for it, get at least 10 for just myself, pour it over the pico de gallo....(the best ever) and drink whatever is left over in the little cups, no matter how full I am.

I don't gush So I just want to say that it is refreshing to hear you tell it like it is with the economy and its impact on you. Also Ryan. It got glossed over when he tried to explain why he didn't share with you. He was afraid of losing income. Fair enough. I'm so tired of these housewife shows where they pretend everything is fine while we KNOW it isn't. So kudos for being honest.

All of you who "love, love, love" Jeff have never worked for a person like Jeff. Well, I do and it's terrible. The 9-5 harranging and nitpicking is ridiculous. I lasted 15 weeks and then one day I decided I had enough. My life was worth more, especially since my boss told me every day that I was doing a great job. If I was so great, why was she picking on me ALL the time? I do not understand bosses who beat up on their employees. Surely there is a better way to spend all that energy.

Alright, I've just about had it with the privacy issues and the PC problems. Hello? Business man extrodinaire that you are, put an administrative password lock on the computer. Nobody gets in except you and Jenny. That should end any intrusions on that front and your rant about it.
Contact names and info in the brown book? *sigh You are both carrying blackberry phones. All contacts should be out of the brown book and on the computer in "Business Contacts." A simple synch maneuver will keep everything on your phone and you'll never leave home without it. And if you do leave personal paperwork in an open desk drawer or in a closet with other people in the space, except someone to access it.
For a truly type A guy, I cannot believe you haven't done either of those things. You're killing me!!! Don't make me come out there!!
Where would I be without my weekly dose of Jeff Lewis? Perish the thought!

Jeff,
I so get you!!!
I sit watching your show nodding my head - agreeing with everything you "Flip Out" on, while my boyfriend continually says "you can work for him because you're just as crazy as he is!"So, this is a just comment to let you know how much I love and enjoy your show because it makes me feel validated as well as inspires my love for interior/home design...and out of curiosity wanting to know how you go about hiring your team. Is there a recruitment/executive search firm that you use? Maybe I can forward my resume for future hiring! Or, I would be happy to email it directly to you.
I strongly believe we would be a match!
Keep up the good work...you are not crazy at all - you just don't hold back!
Best,
Janet

Jeff nothing to different from your other fans: I think your show is just so smart and funny. But thats because you are! Whoever casted you in your own reality show was super smart. I hate reality shows they are generally so ignorant that I sit there feeling embarrassed for the stars. Watching you I dont have feel sorry or embarrassed and thats a unique quality in reality tv. When you and your cast visit NYC can I please, please hang out with you guys I promise to make over you the whole time. Good Luck Steph

Jeff!
I really do hope that you are the "Type A" personality that does read all these posts. Just because you can't help it...
Here is just a little suggestion:
PLEASE create a BRAND for yourself!!!! I would love to know exactly what each and every Paint color you used at Valley Oak is. 'Tweek' them a little and make them your own. Your taste is impeccable. I envy Jennie. (I always want to say Jen-nay) (Forrest Gump style) I want her job so badly! You are an incredible visionary, and I wish you nothing but the greatest success. You will be back, in full force in no time. It's all cyclical, and this is just a bump. Venture out further, please. Embrace QVC, at the very least. ha ha! The sky is the limit!!! I, and many others love you!Best wishes, and should you ever need another assistant, I am your girl. Resume upon request. Yes, I am willing to relocate!
Respectfully,
Melissa

I just finished a full remodel on my own 4800 SF house and I was compared to you all through the project - by my wife, sons, contractor and trades. I did not care and in a way I took it as a compliment. Needless to say, house came out picture perfect and met the budget!! I would apply for a job if I lived back in LA. If in Phoenix, I am applying. I am in architecure field pursuing Flips locally.
Great show, inspirational - GREAT cast of friends.

As a Real Estate agent in Southern Calif, Im soooooooo excited that Jeff and the group are back. We desperately need a good laugh. Our business is difficult to say the least. We are watching people lose thier homes through short sales, foreclosures, & forced sales. It was really tough adjusting to the market shift. I sympathize w Jeff. Many investors got caught over leveraged. I'm impressed by Jeff's ability to reinvent himself! (By the way I saw a couple of agents from the Keller Williams Los Feliz office on one of the episodes where he tried to sell Valley Oak.) Just remember there are others who have it much worse. I just got back from Kauai, Hawaii and the Poipu side of the island has 10 years of condo inventory. BTW have you ever thought of Flipping out in Hawaii? Thanks for the laughter, it really is the best medicine

Can't get enough of Flipping Out! Love Jeff, Jenni and most of all Ziola. Jeff we know that you're gay but you are the hottest guy on television. Poo poo on Anderson Cooper. When are you coming out with a book?We love how you talk to the common person. We had a house built and got taken. The monies that we had we could've afforded you at that time and felt like it was worth every penny. People don't mind spend money on perfection, but the scammers outrank the pros. The marketwill bounce back and I hope you do even better than before.

Hi Jeff,
I absolutely love your show.
I have a question......
My neighbor shot and killed my sons puppy 2 years ago. She is now selling the house and my dear friend has the listing. I feel it would be appropriate to rid the house from all the bad mojo. I am not the type of person who would generally do this however, I feel it's necessary in this situation.
Any ideas or thoughts.By the way, I look forward to your show weekly and have been known to watch repeats!
Take care and good luck.

I am even more organized than before, so much that I am driving my husband crazy because I've become very particular of how I want things to be done. We're even investing in properties thanks to you. You have inspired me and I thank you for that. Good luck to all of you!

Jeff, when I first saw the commercials for your show, I had no intention of watching it. I figured you would be just another obnoxious flipper like that guy (Armando or some such name) on Flip This House. Well, eventually I watched out of curiosity, and now I love you and the show! Your sarcastic comments just slay me. ("What, you didn't know Chris was a common name?") But I also love how you handle your clients -- e.g, showing such patience with Kerry, even though her wishes were clearly not in the realm of a $116K budget. I'm also glad you are being honest about the effect of the market on your business -- unlike Jeana Keough, who pretends all is still well. As far as your "red zone" freak-outs, I have them myself. Everything builds up, I explode....then I feel guilty. Anyway, glad you're back and I look forward to a great season!

Love the show is back!!! I can relate to so much that they show Jeff doing. He is, by far, my favorite "reality" star.
As far as Jeff going off on Jenni when she was telling the contractor to look in the briefcase for the phone # I can certainly empathize with Jeff. Several years ago when I forced myself to take a vacation (ok, it was a business-related conference, but I wasn't "working")for the first time in years I came back to find someone I trusted had just been waiting for the opportunity to clean out all of my accounts when I wouldn't notice it until they had a few days to disappear.
I wasn't able to transition into a related industry so had to re-enter the corporate America workforce where my current weekly paychecks are still only slightly higher than my daily income when I was self employed. When you've experienced that kind of betrayal and setback you NEVER forget and even the hint of a possible re-occurrence sets off a more emotional than logical overreaction.

JEFF,
You are a very loved person! Just look at all the wonderful comments to you. Jeff see if you can go on as a guest on Kathy Griffin Show. Bravo would love that and we would love to see you give Kathy some interior design advice in her new home. You and her would be so good together!
Please provide us with more that 5 or 6 shows. It's a LONG TIME between seasons and we (my husband & I) need our Jeff Fix!! I will write Bravo and ask them for a full season we love you Jeff!!!!

Dear Mr. Lewis:
I was recently watching your show, which I find myself captivated by, and noticed that you had Ziplocks in you beautifully organized by Jett pantry. This will certainly seem like an odd request but the worst you will do is ignore it. Would you and your staff be willing to clip the Box Tops for Education coupons for me?
I am the Box Tops for Education Coordinator for my children's Elementary school in Southeastern PA and we clip and submit the coupons to General Mills for cash for the school ($0.10/coupon). I've been involved in the Program since last year, it was our best year since joining the program in 2002!!
This is a National Program that has awarded over 3 MILLION dollars since its inception in 1996. Last year we received $1,509.00 and I have grand hopes of raising more than double this year. I am willing to send you some SASE to prove my willingness to make this simple for you and your team while earning my school extra money. I guess you throw away or recycle packing containing these coupons and I'd rather they go to a good use (in other words...may I have your trash?).
I would be delighted to be the recipient of any coupons you could collect for my school and would be elated if any of your staff or friends would help us out, too! You (your assistants) can check www.btfe.com for a list of participating products and find out more about the program which helps so many schools nationwide, though I doubt any of them have contacted you to request assistance. You see, this is what makes me a little "nuts" to make my school more successful than it has ever been and on that basis alone I hope you can understand that I had to request knowing the worst you could do was say, "no." or ignore this plea to make my school really successful this year.
No matter who has read this, I thank you for your time despite the outcome BUT you could help me to make my school a success story this year with minimal effort and helping children is always rewarding even from a distance! Thank you again and, "It's a GREAT day in Southeastern PA when Jeff Lewis says Yeah, I'll help out!!"

Jeff-
I've always known you were a nice guy-- anyone who shows such kindness to animals has to have a good and loving heart. So when you and the lovely Jenni came to The New York Stock Exchange this week to ring the opening bell I wasn't surprised to hear of your graciousness to my husband, George, when he approached to let you know how much we enjoy your show. Not just a handshake and a lovely autograph (a new family treasure) but also your kind advice to be sure and wash his hands ("with soap") to avoid catching your cold. What a guy!!! Jeff, your germs are welcome in my family anytime. Best of luck with the show and in your life.

Jeff - I love your show. Despite the fact that I could probably be accurately described as your direct opposite - grandmother and all, I find we share a lot of little traits...anyway I love your show and your blogs - I'm still trying to make tons of money, even at my age and I wish tons of success for you and your wonderful crew.

Jeff,
LOVE,LOVE, LOVE FLIPPING OUT! IT SHOULD BE NAMED TRIPPING OUT!
You had a great week, I missed you on the morning shows (housewife who sleeps in) but caught you on Andy's Watch and WenWill's show! I wasn't stalking but caught a lot of you and Kim together...don't shift it okay? It's not a halloween mask!
You and Jenni are hysterical together. You are a mean boss and she's a thick-skinned assistant...perfect combination. Zoila is wonderful, caring and very pliable. And Eve, I mean Trace(Y) is a lovely little young thing. Yes, Jeff way to go, keep her starving and thin, encourage malnourishment as a means to further his career....lol I hope your line does very well on QVC, and can't wait to see or buy it. You should be able to flip off people and tell them to stick it where the sun won't shine, without reproach or fear of losing your car, and employee's jobs. You should have immunity...lol
Keep the flip outs coming cause we'll be watching. And fag-hag extraordinaire that I am...Fasten your seatbelts it's going to be a bumpy ride!!!

Hi Jeff,
I want to say THANK YOU...for a new season. I started watching your show mid season last year... at first, I did not care for YOU too much But after seeing how you work (even with all the drama)I admire your passion, knowledge of transforming a rut of a building into a great property (like a moth to a butterfly). Keep up the good work and I live my dream of building and design thur you..as its too late for me to do. I am a Southern California Girl transplanted in Georgia.

Jeff, you are an extremely funny and charismatic person! Love, love, love you Jenni and Zoila too. Unfortunately you have to suck it up and take the homeowners as they come. The first few weeks they LOVE you until you make their home a construction site and then they will hate you for getting "dust" on their precious furnishings. Hang in there! The prices of the homes in California were ridiculously overpriced to start with. Maybe now that things have corrected themselves you will be able to make more money in the long run. Kudos to another great season!

I love watching the show, both for the the design and the humor. The way you're adapting to the economy is all the more interesting to watch. Hopefully we'll all see better times ahead soon.

I love when you tried to hook Zoila up with the guys working at your house--that cracked me up! It would be great to see her with a love interest...of course you would have to interview him and approve. Your relationship with her is so cute!

Hello Jeff,
Just watched you in an interview and Jenny stated how you do not approve of #2 at work! You are so funny and so correct. I also have home care business with a small office and have been baffled why people do not do that prior or after they come to the office. Also, I do not think you are a anal boss, you just have enough guts to voice your objections. I saw prior to your new venture that home decor would be a great step for you. Jeff, you rock!

You are wonderful with the animals. You can tell that they are happy in your home.
Thank you for being on this show.

I can definitely relate to what you're going through. The economy has taken it's toll on everyone, even entrepreneurs. I admire your devotion to your employees. I'm sure they're grateful that you're responsible in your business affairs, even in trying times, because ultimately it keeps them secure as well. Continue to entertain, your personality is unmatched!

Glad you are back, a little bit gentler. Totally agree with your blog about working for someone else, it is INCREDIBLY difficult. Keep your chin up, things do turn around. Have a drink and good nite! ;)

Jeff, love your show, love your quirks, as a matter of fact I have some of the same ones. Some days are better than others, some days, I can't face all the things I need to straighten out. I wish you plenty of luck and wish you a more prosperous 2010. If you're ever in the Bay Area, we have a project that needs a site manager. Can't wait for Tuesdays now......
