- Jeff talks babysitting Chloe, dealing with the Ryan situation , and more!
I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon with Chloe and Jenni. In addition to lunch at Lucifer's Pizza (one of my favorites), we also took her to Pinkberry and the pet store. I was told by Ryan not to buy anything, but Chloe really wanted a fish for her room. We named her Teresa after Ryan's new housekeeper. Teresa (Ryan's housekeeper) did not seem amused, but Chloe and I thought it was funny. I had to remind Chloe to feed Teresa (the fish) everyday because I heard she forgot a few times. I find that suprising considering Chloe has one of the best memories of anyone I know. I know that there are a few things that I should not have taught Chloe, but those were all done in the past. I respected Ryan's wishes and did not teach her anything new. "Girls Gone Wild","Chardonnay", and "Hooters" were all things she learned (by me) a year ago. If I had to do it all over, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

I FINALLY watched the season finale, it was the saddest thing I thing I have ever seen. I'm sorry that this has hurt so badly. The unfortunately thing is that I know this will cause you to retreat further away from people. To trust is a powerful thing and when it’s not given easily it just makes it all the more hurtful when it has been (seemingly) trampled. Sometimes a tuff exterior makes people think that you can handle anything, and quite frankly you can handle most things that come your way. It’s only when you have let someone “in” beyond all the sarcasm, jokes, and tuff exterior that it hurts like no other. I truly believe that Ryan only NOW sees just how badly he has hurt you and I really do hope that you will be able to allow yourself to trust again (that includes Ryan). I love your show and am truly, truly sorry for your pain. BTW, I have always thought you were HILARIOUS!!! Don’t ever change!!! (smile)

Jeff, I understand you and agree with you completely. I have strong work ethics and so do you. I also understand Jenni and know where she's coming from because I am in a position very similar to hers. You and Ryan still care for each other. I believe you should both just agree to disagree and start all over again.

Jeff, your time with Chloe cracks me up. As a mother of two I'm not sure I would want you hanging out with them while they were young and impressionable but I would love you as a BFF. I love Chloe's answer to her favorite drink. Your awesome!!

Hey Jeff -
I Googled you last year and was routed to the Brown Design website. I was curious to see what you are doing with your kitchens now (specifically counter tops) as we are considering remodeling ours. What is the "hot" material?
Stay strong and take care.

Hey Jeff hows it going. I'm a hardwood floor and tile installer, but not just any installer. How would like to have one of or perhaps even THE BEST artistic and creative flooring installer around. Acually I met your dad a little while ago and we were talking about houses , fixing them up and whatnot, anyway he told me about you and that I should try to hookup with you and see if we could do something together.If you could use a top notch custom of all custom installer then I'm your man. I'd would love the chance to impress you and your clients with my talents.
Here are a few photos of what I do.If you like what you see and would like to see more I can send you a dvd slideshow of more of my work.
If given this opportunity you will never regret it and I make us both SHINE.
THANKS hope to hear from you soon.

Jeff,
I appreciate the fact that you love Chloe and that you have gone out of your way to renew your friendship with Ryan. I appreciate the fact that you care enough about your friendship with him to try and mend things, even though you don't know what to mend.

Jeff, I love your show! Love when Zoila says "Shut up Jeff". You can feel the love you have in your home. Jenni is a beautiful lady. I hope you and Ryan can work out your problem and be friends again. Breaking up your friendship with Ryan means you lose 3 great people, Ryan, Ryan's partner and Chloe. They are part of your family and I see the pain this whole Ryan mess has caused you. I know it hurts you. You're the greatest! I loved your OCD with the wine glasses! Your punishment when an employees messes up are always over the top and too funny.
I can't wait to see what next weeks show is about. The preview have me worried - Jenni crying, you looking so hurt and the red and blue lights flashing on the ambulance or police cruiser. I can't tell which one it is.

Dear Jeff -
It sounds like you're doing exactly what you need to be doing to heal & eventually recover. Sometimes, just allowing ourself to "be" in the pain is the lesson we need - at the moment. We're so used to "doing, doing, doing" instead of just..."being". It's not fun but it can be emotionally powerful... Just never say never when it comes to your friendship with Ryan. Don't give up... forgiveness is a powerful & healing gift! Good luck.

Unfortunately the ones you love are sometimes the ones who hurt you the most and they have no clue.........You are a hoot and quite a catch.......I wish you were straight you and jenni would be great together.....FYI I had kids and their aunts and uncles taught them all sorts of things......it's not the end of the world ( and Chloe seems like a really smart one) I had a neighbors child tell me his uncle said that adults were only happy when they were boom booming.......waiting for my reaction.....his mom had already told me about this new thing of his, I told him that if that is what his uncle thinks thats fine. But I'm happy other times too.......he just looked at me and never asked another person....

jeff,
I really like the show. You are funny and a very interesting man. I am sure when you go back to women, you will meet the right lady. I saw a real funny clip on TMZ when you went out with NeNe from RHOA. OMG, they had no idea who you were. They ignored you completely! I was like oh wow they are sleeping on the most funniest guy ever. You are far more interesting and more talented than NeNe will ever be.
If therapy doesn't work out, pick up the Bible, it always works for me. (oh but once you pick it up you have to read it :) like Proverbs )

That show where you took Chloe out for pizza was so INCREDIBLY FUNNY! As an aunt, with no children of my own, I can totally relate to teaching my niece some funny lines to say, when she was a toddler. And, of course, spoiling her was the best part of being an aunt. I think you'd make a great dad.

Jeff, you are my favorite person ever. I love watching your show, my mom and I are obsessed with it.
That being said, I'm happy with how you handled the situation with Ryan. I love how, on his website, he says he "stars" on Flipping Out... He seems to enjoy word manipulation in order to make himself sound better. I seriously think Ryan needs a reality check, but then again, he must have already gotten one considering he's starring on your TV show.
Good luck to you, Jenni and Zoila. Hopefully Zoila stops trying to kill you, although even that cracked me up.
I think my favorite drink is chardonnay as well, though.

I love your show and you. Jenni is a blast and Zoila is her own character. I was very impressed how you went to your Father for advise and he gave you very good advice. Always believe your best friend may turn on you. I haven't talked to my brother in 5 years over a business venture. Your dad is very good looking, is he still with your mother, or is he single. If I can't have you maybe him and myself would work. I admire you both.

Just watched the episode where you confronted Ryan...good for you. He truly looked guilty as sin! Have you had the site removed that is connected to your name and takes you to HIS site? You must be devastated in your heart to think he could do this. I'm wondering how you could even continue a friendship, he seems very dishonest and has put money before trust and friendship and he used YOUR talents, contacts and personality to boost his career.
Hang in there. Absolutely love your show...your humor is fantastic. I sit here giggling out loud every week.

Jeff,
I am so glad that you are feeling better. I must admit that at first when I started to watch your show. I kinda did not like you because I thought you were very pompous and ridiculously rude. But then I came to see that all you say is meant with sense of humor. I think you have a great sense of humor which how you can keep a straight face is beyond me. I think that you are absolutely right about ryan. I find it very odd when you looked your name up it went straight to his website. I also think you have a great person beside you through it all Jenni. She should be your partner she is so behind you 100% even when you do flip out. When you were sick she handled everything so perfectly. You thanked her and she just was so happy you should of seen her face. What I really like is that when Jackie did not pay those people you said you would which is kind of similair situation my husband is going through the person he had worked is refusing to pay which all the work has been done already. I just wish they were more people like you actually care about people like us who may not have everything but just trying make it day by day. Like paying rent light bills the basics. This economy has really hit us hard. Seeing someone as successful as you are to care is just simply refreshing. You got a fan for life. Jaleila

Perhaps my personality is just as twisted as yours Jeff...I thought it was funny the baby did the Girls Gone Wild move and said her favorite drink was chardonnay. But then again I don't have any children either :o/. That's the thing with someones children...you have fun with them and take them home. :o) I understand respecting the parents request...but it was still funny :o). I don't believe you meant any harm. I was actually surprised to see you even wanted to spend the day with her.
The thing I like most about you on your show...you're just YOU. Don't ever stop being you...or alter your personality to make others feel comfortable.

This weeks episode of you and Ryan's falling out really touched my heart ;). About 3 months ago me and my gay best friend had a falling out and have not spoken since. The first month or so i spent hating him and talking about how dumb he was and im better off anyway. But now i miss our friendship. I now realize that reguardless of logic, if you still care about someone, you should not cut them out of your life because it will end up hurting you more then whatever problems happened. It's something i have to deal with and i hope you and Ryan can eventually be friends again. :)

Sorry to see the rift between you and Ryan. I trust the two of you will make amends.It's seems to me that there is still a torch between the two of you. I think there is some unfinished business on the personal side that you two need to come to terms with and I hope you can work it out and be best friends forever. Sometimes the underlying tension cannot be seen by the two participants. Good luck to the both of you and Kepp him on the show.

Oh, sweetheart - just watched the episode in which you confront Ryan. His argyle sweater was pretty but his face had guilt written all over it. The website, the magazine article- even if he won't admit to actually "stealing clients", the intent was clear and that's sad. I think it was necessary to have a conversation about it and draw some professional lines. Have you thought about pursuing the option of just being friends - not business partners? That seems to make the most sense to me.
Anyway - your show is one of the most amusing things on television. The Chardonnay and Girls Gone Wild thing was hilarious and I can say that with heart being as I have two children of my own.
I love everyone else on the show too but tell the new assistant never to wear her hair on top of her head like that again. It makes me think she should be somewhere on a corner in Compton, wearing stripper heels and smacking gum..not cute.
Oh and perhaps some scenes of Jett shirtless wouldn't hurt the ratings..

Love your show Jeff! Jeff I enjoy your brutal honesty. I think that the world should learn from you. I'm a firm believer - nip it in the but because things could escalate. Well you have nipped on more than one occassion and I feel that's why you're so successful in your business as well as with your business relationships. you act on "your inner voice" - you feel, detect and then act upon it. That's awesome. I think it's great therapy to let all parties know that you're approaching or discussing open items with them so that either parties won't be misunderstood. I'm a "what if" person..meaning I don't like surprises. I think you're the same way. You handle things right away...but at the same time you give people the benefit of the doubt and that makes you a better person. Continue learning through your personal experiences and sharing with others. I'm sure others will have stories to tell as well.
Thank you for your show - it's very entertaining and theraputic.

Hi Jeff,
I think you handled the situation perfectly. I think you have grown so much since the first season especially where it comes to your interpersonal relationships (at least what is shown on the show). You wanted to so give Ryan the benfit of the doubt when talking it all over with your Dad, and your Dad, knowing Ryan, your business and even you with your quirks, knew that Ryan was doing you dirty. And when you said in a round about way you didn't have "proof" your Dad said it best when he said, "oh but I think you DO have your proof". It was sitting there right infront of you with the website. He was using your good name and luring prospective clients. Ryan's name isn't even known. I'm so sorry for the pain you're in. You don't deserve it, you didn't ask for it and it certainly isn't "imagined". Ryan's statement of you being crazy was his way to deflect guilt. He is guilty and he can't handle those feelings. That he said that made it that much clearer (to the audience). Hope you find some peace of mind and find the courage to forgive. It's a gift you give yourself. It certainly doesn't mean you let Ryan back into your life so he can do it to you again. Just means you let go of the anger/hurt so you can move past it. Hope you find that. You deserve happiness. Are you looking to be anyone's gay husband? LOL Just kidding...kind of! Love ya man! I think you're hysterical!!!!

Jeff, When everything is said and done you played it straight, and earnest Ryan was the one who pulled the bitch move. I know this makes you hurt on the inside know matter how strong you are. Remember this shows how weak and insecure of his own abilities he really is. Consider him excess baggage dumped. LIVE, LOVE and LAUGH its his loss.

Hi Jeff!
I'm a budding researcher in my second master's degree and love your approach to Ryan's hypothesized disloyalty. You acted on your gut feeling, scanned your environment, collected data, and connected the dots. Correlation is not causation; however, I believe that the evidence you amassed on poor Ryan is sufficient to boot him out the door. Also loved the way you proved your case using the nanny cam against Jenni's loser ex-husband. When you've got that gut feeling, it's usually right.
Just saw the latest episode where you wish Ryan best of luck with his business. You handled that PERFECTLY. My God, when you said that you found all 40 properties in the partnership (note: one person prospecting all the investments is NOT a partnership) and Ryan could only scrape up a $10k garage remodel...there's your answer right there. I mean, you probably could have prospected the first property, flipped it, and split the profit with Ryan. However, Ryan should have prospected the next property and so on in a round-robin fashion. 40 properties?!! My God, I would have dropped Ryan's leeching butt at the curb after the 3rd property. You are right; you did make HIM rich. NEVER EVER mix business with friendship! Relationships/friendships and business are mutually exclusive. Bad things eventually happen when one crosses those streams. Maybe you'll reconcile with Ryan eventually, but definitely keep him FAR away from your business.

Jeff,
After the 9/22 show I felt SO much empathy for you. Since the "Ryan" confrontation was months ago I thought my insights would be too little too late.
I checked his website and the magazine articles and I think your conclusions are valid.
I see now that you are still hurt and understandably so. It was PAINFULL to watch the true raw emotion that Ryan's behavior elicited from you. Having gone through a breakup of a partnership (marriage&business) of my own, I saw myself in you. You still care deeply for Ryan and he has moved on. You did and will always care more for him than he is capable of caring for you. His actions have killed something inside you and you must get it back or he "wins".
The lesson, if there is one, is that not everyone is as honest with us as we are with them. All of this does not change the fact that you must distance yourself and grieve the loss of the "Ryan" that you thought you knew.
To be able to love and care for people (as you obviously do) is a valuable asset. Don't lose hope, be kind to yourself and give yourself time to grieve.
As "they" say, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!'

But nonetheless Jeff you are still on top. Love, love, love to watch your show and I even got my husband "hooked" on the watching also. Do me a favor though? More shots of your doggies, they are so adorable!

Jeff,
I truly think the one comment that made me soar was when Ryan said "If you don't trust then you should cut me out of your life" ...I'm of course paraphrasing. That is harsh...that would hurt. You've been there for years, he riding you're coat tails, then when the tide turns...opps where did he go? I'll tell you off with a lot of money. However, I've always loved Ryan in the show to and with this shows success there is much to go around. So, I wouldn't put too much thought into it, actually, you're probably to lunch with him now seeing this show was awhile ago.
The thing that is interesting is that media sometimes brews differences in people you would have never thought would be there. You've been friends and partners for 10 years. He will snap after there is only forgiveness to think about.
Congrats on your show.

Hello Jeff,
I truly hope you can find light in your darkness. Just know, that you have done the right thing by letting Ryan go. I know your thinking, who does this chick think she is! I'm a nobody, yet, I believe you want Ryan in your life because he's "safe." BUT, when you really look at your relationship with him I bet you find that you were not as important as you SHOULD HAVE been to him. Honestly, I am seeing only what t.v. allows but your eyes are very telling... and I was wishing for Ryan to look beyond your "traits" and see that you were in pain. The fact that he didn't OR couldn't says a lot about him; he will regret his actions one day. On the other hand, look at all you do have~ a loving family (this includes your pets)! Jeff, don't let the things you can not change consume you (e.g. the past OR other people's actions). Consume yourself with all the good in your life and you will begin to feel better. Then again, who am I to tell you what you already know. Good luck and keep being the you that makes people want to know you! Love~Corrie :)

I think perhaps the situation between you and Ryan could've been handled differently, although I was not there so who can really say but you and Ryan? I too have made many bad choices in my life but the key in all of this as you mentioned, is to find the lesson in it somewhere! Keep your head up and keep it moving. Everything happens for a reason!

Flipping Out; I am hardly a prude, and have traveled this world widely, and seen from the bottom to the top in terms of human striving and human suffering.
Yet, I am shocked and deeply distressed by the perverted and truly inappropriate actions of "Jeff" on your program Flipping Out.
It is one thing to watch the antics of a narcissistic, immature adult. But quite another to see this kind of lecherous and crude, damaging behavior towards an innocent child.The bigger shock is that your editors, program directors and senior vice presidents would even broadcast such truly sick material.
Is child pornography and abuse of children and women funny? Your utter lack of discrimination and integrity makes your show a "no show" on my list. You should be utterly ashamed, but obviously your organization is sociopathic to the core.
I will also be reporting this to FCC.

Jeff, I've just watched the episode where you and Ryan go separate ways. While I like Ryan, given the facts that you had to deal with - the internet site, the phone calls, the magazine article - you made a tough, but, correct decision. With friends and relationships, when you have that gut feeling something is amiss, trust it.
Admittedly, you can't trust human beings 100% - they are only human and will always do something to let you down. But, you were 100% there for Ryan in business and friendship, and he just wasn't always there for you 100%. It's like he's in business with you, and then he has this other business with you. Where's the line? There is no line.
There are no mistakes in the universe. You have a good heart and good does come to you.
Love the show!

Jeff- Sorry you are struggling with Ryan. Since your partnership and show have made him popular as well, he probably has a peanut gallery telling him to go out on his own. Its too bad that he couldn't have just been straight forward about needing his own thing. Friends & business are difficult...you have to communicate constantly and set boundaries that are clear. I'm sure you will bounce back. Forgive him and move on...Best of luck.

I think you two make a great pair and I would love to see you two together. I want you to be happy because, like so many of these other viewers, I can see your heart and I want it to be fulfilled. It would make me so happy. You truly are a great person with a heart that deserves to be held with esteem by loving hands...and I think Ryan could do that. Call me crazy!

Good business??? That is messed up. After everything that is his explanation. BS.
Sorry you have to make such a hard decision.

Jeff,
You are a doll. I wish I could drive around all day and work with my best friend and make lots of money. You got a great gig.
...and your pretty.
Thanks,

I do love your show, your so fun to watch.
I just wished you treated your staff a little sweeter.
Zoila and Jenny just seem so dedicated to you.

Jeff you will HATE working for homeowners. They are never happy. As you can see with your show irreconcilable differences show. When you can get out of working for homeowners DO IT. The richer they are the cheaper they get. If the contractors aren't ripping you off - the homeowner wants a discount before you know it > boom your hardly making any profit. Sad but true.

Jeff,
we watch the show religiously and understand how you feel.
You should follow your instincts. Remain friends if that what you want, maybe sever the business relationship and let him know why!
good luck.

jeff reminds me so much of myself. I understand where he's coming from.
As far as Ryan, It's funny how he is starting to look, dress and act like Jeff.
There is only one Jeff and Ryan is ready for a rude awakening. He is adorable but he is about to burn some bridges.
Ryan, You need to take a few steps back, clear you head and apologize for being, a horses ass. Baby you can not walk the walk nor can you talk the talk. Jeff's that is.
As Kramer once said. Don't you see...your in love with each other!
Love the show!

Jeff, I love watching your show! You're so funny and I see a bit of my obsessiveness through you. You're sometimes the bulldog that won't let somethings go. Bless those that can put up with us, right?! I've only seen the previews of tonight's episode but I can see how hurt you are by Ryan. He always seemed like a great guy. Now I see him for the greedy hateful person that he is. You don't need him in your life anymore. The best to you, sir.

Jeff! I love your show. Keep your head up high, and remember there are a lot of people in your corner when it comes to the situation that is going on with Ryan. Do maintain a civil relationship for Chloe's sake. I could only imagine how much she would "Miss Uncle Jeff" if you and Ryan burned the entire bridge down.

Jeff, I am so sorry for the betrayal that Ryan has done. He does not deserve a friend like you. The websites going to his company said it all... you are a good person and deserve so much better. By the way, I am a perfectionist too (with a big heart) and would work for you in a minute! : ) Keep this saying in mind...
Be who you say you are.. and say what you feel .. because those who matter, don't mind ... and those who mind, don't matter!

Hello Jeff,
Let me take this opportunity to let you know;
I love watching you. You are so super honest and even though you sometimes are very harsh I totally get you.Let me tell you I have learned a whole lot from,how you take charge of things yourself if you want things done you have to be on it. I have too learned from Jenni when she took charge of things when you got ill. I specially like it when you go to see how your contractors are doing and what progress they have made. Since my husband is a contractor I now understand more of what goes on out their. Hey Jeff why don't you give my husband a break by hiring him as your contractor you wont regret it.

Hello Jeff and Jenni, I love you guys...I think you and Jenni should just get married and have kids..You to are perfect for each other. Well Jeff I'm sorry you have to go through so much with the people that are closest to you. Ryan is nobody with out you. Keep your head high and be you, thats what we love..

I think you are hilarious and I thoroughly enjoy watching your show every week. I find your quirks endearing. Thanks for such an entertaining and enjoyable hour of tv every week.
BTW, what happened with the Skytop house? I've seen it advertised for sale recently and it looks unchanged. Did you not end up working on it? I actually saw it in person a couple years ago when it was for sale previously and I was surprised to see it on your show.

Jeff-
Everyone adores you! The same way you edit the properties you acquire and design, you should do the same with the so called friends you have. Under that sarcastic and funny exterior, you are a push over and blinded to the losers that share those tacos with you.

JEFF: I think that you are a bright, wonderful, caring, and sensitive person. Please don't let anyone tell you differently. I have to say that RYAN is hurting you. Please be rid of him once and for all. He's doing things behind your back and you deserve better!!! JEFF, you have outgrown Ryan; he's too immature for you to still have a relationship with. You are definitely much more mature than him. It would do you justice to get rid of him AND I believe the television network deserves better as well.
Respectfully, Helenah

I think Ryan just may be the love of your life. You guys are going to end up together....just a matter of time. Ryan has to go through a few more experiences first. Adopt a PUG....it will make you laugh every day!!!! You crack me up!!

Jeff,
My heart goes out to you! I too have been betrayed by a good friend. I know the hurt you are feeling is like dealing with a death. You will survive and be a better person for it. I know this because you are an intelligent man with a big heart (even though you don't want anyone to see that) and you are one of the most stubborn s.o.b's I have ever seen!! I do mean that with the utt most sincerity! Good Luck to You Jeff Lewis....we are all rooting for you!

I live for Tuesdays when I can watch your show. I have a employee that is 18 years old that looks just like you would have at that age, and he is just as quirky and as unbalanced as you are. He has Aspergers Syndrome, a mild form of Autism. He could be your younger brother by looks alone. He is also neat and extremely tidy like you. I feel like I am talking to a a young Jeff Lewis. I also admired you saying that Chloe could have / would have been your daughter if things would have been different- it takes a strong person to actually say what you did. Keep your chin up- good things will come your way. The best thing for you is to distance yourself from Ryan- he does not have your best interest at heart.

Jeff: I watch you every week, you are very smart, and admire you for that. But, remember, "Kind words can be short and easy to speak-but their echoes are truly endless" Mother Teresa...The way one treat other people, revels one's relationship with God. I can tell you have some issues, but lighten up, are you truly happy? I know you are probalbly laughing all the way to the bank. But, I would like to you on the show to be a kinder, Jeff. You have a lot going for you! Hugs to you!!

Love your show and I feel like I get you.
Even with long term friendships/relationships, you don't always get the opportunity to truly see someone at their core. And if you do, it can be beyond painful. Ryan is not a reflection on you. Even just on a TV show, I can see you are a different person. Anyway, keep on being yourself. You will not be alone and you will do a hell of a lot better than Ryan.

Hey there Jeff, You look great this season I think you got cuter if that is possible? I just watched the show with you and Chloe, I thought the Chardonnay joke was hilarious you made me LOL. I think you are being too hard on yourself. You are the going to be a great uncle! My husband and I are business partners in the exact same business as you and Ryan (Development and Real-estate) We work together each day, share in the expenses, profits. With team work we have been very successful and this economy does suck.... but I see where you are coming from with the whole Ryan thing. You really need to end your business relationship with Ryan unless he begins to respect your partnership. He can't have it both ways. Ryan is still taking advantage of you baby. I love your show! and Jenni.

You are you. You shouldn't change. I love you! All of America does too they just don't want to admit it. Your personality and sarcastic sense of humor is reason you have your sure I'm sure, so Bravo execs saw something in you and I do too. i Love it, keept it coming!

I love and adore you Jeff no matter what you do!! Yes, you do a lot of "questionable" things-everybody does-but the fact that you are aware of them means a lot, means that you have a conscious. You should know that I put my 3 year old to sleep extrememly early in preparation to tune into to you. So keep the antics coming, I love them, and i'm sure most of America does too they just don't want to say it!

Jeff, I was watching your show today and I had to cry.I never seen so much pain in your beautiful eyes before on your show.And believe me I know pain. I'm a mother to a handicap son .I see pain every day.Take care and don't trust Brian so much.Good luck.

Jeff you are the best! I love your humor, I love your zaniness, and your honesty! You are totally right on about the whole "Ryan" thing= he will get his- you will rise above it-- just move on without him.
BTW: I am praying to win the lottery--just so I can hire and bring you to remodel my home in New England!!Your show is a highlight for my viewing!

Jeff,
Keep your chin up. i've never posted a comment before, even though I love your show. But after i saw your last blog, i felt compelled to write something. It brought a tear to my eye, and that's saying something. I have a little tiny tonsil size heart that swelled when i read it, so i know i had to. In this cynical world, it's hard to lose or feel imminent loss with someone you consider a constant and trusted.I feel like you cracked through your hard shiny coating and inside its a softer gentler Jeff, and its nice to see. Sorry didnt mean to compare you to Sears. Keep up your personal growth, you are proof, you can always change if you want to.

Hello Jeff I have just one comment. While you are reading the posted messages are you going crazy with all the type "O's".

Jeff,
Absolutely love your show. I can't believe Ryan did that to you....I didn't have him pegged as that kind of person. Don't let it get you down though. You certainly don't need Ryan as a business partner; however, you should try to forgive and forget to save your friendship with him and Chloe.
P.S. Love your new assistant (the one who spilled the coffee). Jenni is still #1 though.
