Dis anyone find the answer to Jennifer's question about the painting in the intro to the show?... My girlfriend told me she liked it months ago and trying to get it for her birthday!

I love Flipping Out and its sardonic, deadpan sense of humor, but I also love that it can address a serious issue. The fact is, there ARE a lot of close-minded people who do not advocate gay marriages, and I don't see how voting against gay marriages can be anything other than close-minded. If you don't like the views expressed on the show, then don't watch it.

ok so I think Jeff may be CRAZY but has he ever thought of going to other states to add more fans to the show?

Ryan is Jeff crazy to give you up! I swear to god if u weren't gay I would seriously be obsessed..lol, Love the sense of style to your decorating,and the calm way u argue w/ Jeff!! You can decorate my house any day:)

Ryan,
Obviously the show is very well edited and your opinion of Prop 8 was left in for a reason. I think it is sad that people who don't agree with your philosophy are "closed minded" I still like the show, but it is not a political one, as so, keep politics out of it, or neutral. But hey it's on Bravo, I mean come on!!!

Love the show, when politics are left out!!!!

Ryan, you need to have a show all about you, your business, and your family because you are the most interesting part of the whole show! Good luck with evertything!

I thought Ryan was intolerant also. He's a great dad and a wonderful Human being in all ways. He just has to understand that sacraments have requirements. To each his own.

Gays should accept civil unions and create their own ceremonies. Calling people with names is wrong.

Jeff insults heavy people, but Jeff is a hoot and we never listen to his insults.

Somewhere along the way you became my favorite on the show! I am rooting for you and Dale, both in marriage and well...in just living happily ever after. Love is so precious, it should be cherished no matter what form it comes in (fortunately for the viewing audience your "form" is just superb lol).

Keep on keeping on, you've got a lifelong fan in South Carolina!

Ryan,

I love the show!!! I noticed in the last show, you helped clients to get art/fixtures for their homes...

Question for you - in the intro to the show, there is a horizontal striped painting of various colors hanging on your well - is what is the artist's name? And how do I get one??? I love it and am interested in learning how I can put one in my home.

Thanks!
Jen

I live in Iowa and I am just wondering......Why dont you come to Iowa and get married silly?

Great to see you on the show, you have a lovely family, and you and Dale are a very handsome couple. Went to Brown Design, and saw your work" BEAUTIFUL"You are an amazing designer, on your own.

Saw your home in the LA Times, What a beautiful home. When do we get to see more of Chloe this season? What a beautiful daughter you have.

God Bless you, and all you do.

I, too, love your show and I also live in Arkansas....just curious what you have going on here in my small home state....It was good to hear Arkansas mentioned on your show.....Good luck in all that you do......B~

Am I the only person wondering where the picture of you, associated with this blog, came from? It does not even remotely look like you! You are a very handsome man and the picture is attractive, but I don't think it looks anything like you.

I love you and your family! Your home looks so beautiful. I wish we could see more. I did go to Brown Design and looked at all the pictures you have of design jobs you all have done and I must say they are excellent!

In your blog you said, "Jeff being new to the design world will naturally have to deal with bringing in clients." Weren't you new to the flipping houses world? Didn't Jeff help you? Now your acting like you don't know him. Very mean Ryan.

@Russ

If marriage was just a religious ceremony then you wouldn't need to obtain a marriage license from the state or note on your tax return whether or not you were married or single.

Everyone should have the same rights under the law; this is a civil liberties issue not a religious issue. This distinction will always separate the sides. For one person to believe they should have different rights than another (i.e. the ability to call their union a marriage) is ignorant. As a married female, my husband and I fully support gay marriage rights, along with my very Christian mother who can see this is a civil rights issue.

Gay marriage will in no way diminish the bonds of a strait marriage, and even if it could, it would be nowhere near as damaging as the 50% of strait marriages that end in divorce are.

Dear Ryan,
You and Dale are a gorgeous couple and look so very happy together..very solid. I am thrilled that you are raising a child as well..she will always know and feel the love in her home. I think you are a wonderful man and I wissh you continued success and happiness!

Ryan

While I value your right to have an opinion and understand and respect your feelings on Prop 8 I sadden by your lack of open-mindedness that others might have a different position. Please as you read my words have an open mind, I don't think I'll change your mind but realize I am disagreeing with a position, not a personality.

I personally support gay persons, I think they are good parents, are totally capable in every way of being in and having a long-term committed relationship. I've not actually had the opportunity to see your partner on the show I think you make an outstanding parent.

I personally believe that the idea of a civil commitment with all the same rights as a marriage should in fact be extended to gay couples. I do not though think the centuries old beliefs and traditions of another group of people should simply be dismissed. To be clear, I do not personally support the extension of a marriage rights to gay couples because frankly it is a religious ceremony with centuries of tradition.

So I would just like to say that while I think from what I've seen on the show you are a good person, and a great Dad I do think from your use of this blog to attack people with a different opinion is just not right. Lets remember that there were more votes not supporting the gay marriage prop than in favor of it and we all know this is by no means an issue that will go away. I would also say "shame on you" to parents on both sides of this issues who used their children as sign holders and props on the side of the street in this past campaign. Adults have the right to politic but children do not have the general capacity to understand an issue as complex as this.... So shame on all parents who put their children on the front line of this adult discussion.

And Ryan, frankly it's time we raised the level of political discussion to a more civil level on both sides... Name calling is NEVER the best way to reach a positive dialogue. And other than to use this blog to spew more barbs at people you don't agree with politically, what was the point of writing?

Respectfully

Love your show so much. would like to know what town in Arkansas u r doing a job in Ryan? I Live in Arkansas. Just wanted to know.
