Jeff Lewis

Like a Sitcom

Jeff wonders whether Bravo is secretly trying to kill him off with this show.

Mar 14, 2012

Felice runs her household like a tight ship. Step out of line and you'll face her wrath. She is rigid and controlling. She rules an immaculate and organized home with an iron fist and she demands order, cleanliness, and personal responsibility. Sound familiar? Not everyone responds well to Felice, but I grew to like and respect her. I most admired her devotion to her kids, husband, and home. Once the kids went to sleep, Felice and I let loose over a bottle of wine (or two) and I began to understand her. She takes her role as a homemaker very seriously. It is a tremendous responsibility and her kids are her top priority.

In getting to know the Steinbecks, I also recognized that Michael didn't have a voice in the design of the house because Felice made all of the decisions. It was evident to me there was a slight strain in the relationship largely due to the fact that the home was missing a true master bedroom. Everyday is about the kids and they both work in different ways to raise and support their family. If they can't spend private time together at the end of the day, I feared the strain would only get worse. They needed a comfortable place to reconnect, a place that represented both of their tastes.

I need some help at my place the people did a poor job, I watch the shows and always things turn out beautifully....!! Come help remodel my townhouse! PLEASE.. and having Jenni would be so fun!

So far not a fan of the new show Jeff Lewis! Missing the old show ) - :

Love, love and love you Jeff! You are awesome and missed ya!!

Jeff, You seem to always have problems with contractors. You need to find a young one who you can teach, coach and mentor in to a perfect contractor.

Looking forward to your season of Interior Therapy.

Lets be honest, the show would have been better with a little more of you & a little less of the couple with the stick up their you know where! *sigh* I just hope Flipping Out will be back soon!

Jeff, I have always loved your show and even wanted to come and work for you. BUT, I only have one word for this premiere.....BORING. If this is the tone ofor the show, it's going to be a LONG SEASON. Actually on second thought, a SHORT SEASON for me.

Great show! Do you honestly think you would survive these projects without Jenni by your side?

Love, love, love, love Jeff Lewis, Jenny & Zoila. They have wonderful chemistry & work well together. It's great to see they have wonderful sence of humors....I love them, and will always watch their shows. See their ratings on RealityTea.com, they are getting great reviews and people LOVE them as much as I do.

Good Lord Jeff!!! By the time you got done at the Steinbecks you must have needed Therapy!!!! As in Mental. Good Golly Ms. Molly they were absolutely ridiculous. I mean if someone wants a good job it takes time and there is always problems that you will run into, but you corrected it. I actually felt sorry for Michael. Felice is truly Selfish. Maybe it just looked like it by the little parts i saw but Come On lady!! the man works hard gives you a beautiful home and you can't let him have a few things his way???? Well now I need therapy!! HA. Glad to see you back Jeff!

Jeff Lewis you are simply a design genius! I am so happy your back. I have truly learned so much from you and your team. I must say that you appear to have made some serious revisions with the way you communicate, but still remain true to who you are! Let's reference...regarding the tile issue on this episode! I actually agreed with your approach, reaction, and statement to Jenny! (I love you Jenny) this comment is based on the footage from the show. (Clearly aware there is some MAJOR editing that does take place on these reality shows:) Jeff reaction was justified under the circumstances. I cannot believe I just made that statement.

xo Team JJZ (aka Jeff, Jenny & Zoila!!!!! :) P.S. Also are you aware there is an interior design firm in TX and the owners name is David Bravo... yes this is TMI just sharing .....

Jeff, Love you, love Jenni, but I think I'll miss Flipping Out. Time will tell if this show will grow on me or not. You are a riot so I guess that will be enough to keep me watching. Glad to see you back!

Jeff: I have been an enthusiastic fan of your Flipping Out series since the beginning. But I was disappointed with this new program. I miss the opportunity to see your own homes and appreciate your decorating style. And the antics of your staff--Zoila, Gage, Jett, the dearly-departed Trace, etc.--comprised a major part of the attraction. The dysfunctional client family just doesn't compensate and we certainly didn't grow to like them as we do with your own colleagues. I'm sorry to deliver this bad news, but honesty is the best policy.

This was a beautiful make-over and the master suite is to die for. Is there any website where you post pictures of the finished rooms. I would like the opportunity to view them in more detail.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the first episode. My boyfriend and I. Have been watching you for ages, he actually discovered you and after the initial doubt that my boyfriend may be turning gay, I was a Jeffaholic too. that Felice? Are you kidding me? You live in a 5m house, spending your husbands cash buying clothes and freezing your forehead in time and won't let him choose chairs or a bed? I'm pretty sure the guy isn't trying to buy Walmart pleather chairs with the Chicago Bulls logo on them... And all the complaining about the noise? boo-hoo! I am so rich I get to redo my mansion, why are these people making noise??? I applaud You Jeff. You are a true professional, you kept your cool despite the insanity of these people. It was a true study in contrasts, with you and Jenny showing that people CAN still have perspective even after fortune and fame, and the Steinbecks showing the worst of entitlement and lack of touch with reality. keep them coming!

PS: we need more Zoila.

Jeff- You are too funny. I have watched your shows since you came on Bravo. I love you and Jenni working together again. There is a chemistry there that is one of a kind. Zoila is a character, she is so funny and a joy to watch. I get great ideas from your decorating as we are planning our own decorating in our kitchen & master bedroom. You are awesome !!!

i want the old Jeff show back please!!!!!!!

I enjoyed last night's show so much. So nice to see you having fun and going with the flow when things didn't go quite as planned. I hope we're going to see Gage this season and hear about any plans for a family. I loved your interactions with the Steinbeck's kids - it was fun to watch and made me wish you already had children of your own.

Out of ALL the BRAVO 'reality' shows/series, YOURS is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Your show is delightful and the cast is the perfect mix of personalities. One thing we can all say while watching your show as opposed to all the others, we end up with a smile on our face.

i miss the old show too! :( is it coming back????? "interior therapy" is too different from "flipping out". this seems more hgtv than bravo.

I love this show! Could not believe how much was done in a week! Funny thing was when you seem to be controlling, it's awesome. When your client seemed controlling, she seemed harsh.

i lOVE u jeff PLEASEeeeee lets get married :))

I love you Jeff! this is coming from a sista..I think you are funny! When you come to the Club House, I can tell your not a butt...take care...P.s. I liked your show...

Jeff it was nice but Go back to Flipping Out Do we have to do anything to help with it????? Sometimes people in Power sitting at a desk really have NO Idea what we as the Viewer wants Won't miss the 2nd one Good Luck.

Jeff we were looking forward to this show but were a little bored, to much of this couple. We miss you in your own living environment with your employee drama and some contract work, it used to be a nice mix.

We were bored last night watching your new show. You are funny but there was to much of your client. We miss seeing you in your home environment with your employees and animals. Hope Flipping Out comes back next season.

Hi Jeff, I love you and Jenni. You guys have always made me laugh and there have been times that I needed that laugh. You do such beautiful work, I wish I had a house so that you can come and renovate for me. Oh well, that's never going to happen. Roberto has to open his eyes and do his job. These clients, especially Felice seemed like a pain. You could see that she does not have any patience and she thinks she's the only one who's perfect. I wish you luck with the new show and I look forward to seeing all the beautiful work that you always do. BTW, where is Gage? Can't wait to see Zoila. Love,love,love all of you. I'm glad you're back! Thanks.

Love Jeff, Love Jenni, Love Zoila...doesn't matter what the show is, I will always be a fan!!!!!

Loved the new show!! I've watched it twice already and may watch it again. You did a beautiful job. So glad Jenni is a big part of this show. Glad you're back on TV!!!

Why would anyone miss Flipping Out? This show operates using the same recipe: Jeff designs, constructs, and modernizes a home or part of a home. Along the way: he threatens to: fire his contractor; terrorizes Jenni and Zoila; fire Jenni; and then starts the process over. It's the same show for the most part! The only thing missing is the rest of the office crew: what did you do Jeff? Fire them all?

Jeff- Love you no matter what, but I feel like there is not going to be the same interaction with Zoila and the rest of the gang.

Jeff, Loved you on Flipping Out. I'm so disappointed with the new show. Hated the whiny couple, for Gods sake! they have Jeff Lewis decorating their house in five days and all they could talk about was how stressful and noisy it was. Jeff you can spend a month with my family if it would mean my house would be redecorated by you. Please, more of the relationship between you, Jenny and Zoila forget the ungrateful whiny couple. I do have to say their kids were really cute.

I missed the "Flipping Out" concept. While you are the shining star I missed your interaction with your co-workers, they were an integral part of the show to me. I hope Bravo can add some of the old with the new.

Didn't like last night's episode. Saw more of the couple, then you and ZOILA!!! Flipping out!!!!

Oh please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bring back Flipping Out. Was not fond of the new show at all!!!! Jeff and Zola and Jenny together in the other format was a thousand times better!!!!

Love you Jeff & Jenni! this is a GREAT show and I'm looking forward to watching this season.

Not feeling this new show. I miss the old gang and the pets and Jeff's house. I really did not care for the uptight client's. They were uncomfortable to watch. I guess I will have to give this show more time. I loved Flipping Out so this going to be a difficult transistion.

I love your show!!!! You and Jenni work well together. You are hard when you need to be and Jenni always listens when you are right or wrong. I always look forward to watching the show. I always tell everyone not to bother me when your show is on. I do not want to miss a moment of it.

Jeff, love your dry humor. You and Jenni are quite a pair. Looking forward to next week.

The new show is boring. We desperately miss Flipping Out. It was my very favorite. Please bring it back immediately!

This new format will take some getting used to. I hope we get to see more of Zoila, also. Felice was a royal pain and at times her husband was not much better.

One question, knowing that things can/do go wrong on a remodel, why do you cut your time so close when telling the family the length of the project? Why not add a few days to give yourself a cushion in case they are problems?

Good luck with the new show.

Jeff, Keep up the great work! Enjoyed the show even more than Flipping Out! Looooved seeing your interaction with clients and most of all, the way you were able to bring the two tastes together. You made their home "theirs", both his and hers...you are AWESOME!!! And last but not least, BE NICE TO JENNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Love you...personally I can't get enough of you!! You always deliver!!

Jeff,

I miss Flipping Out, but I like the new show.

Don't be so hard on Jenni. I think she does the best she can considering what she has to put up with.

Karen V.

Ah, what I would give to have you live with me for a week and help me with my house (and to share a bottle of wine). I love your sense of humor, OCD and your love and loyalty to those in your life.

I would watch any show you were in. Can't wait to see which lucky family is next for your renovation and wish Bravo would cast in the metro D.C. area. I would be your first client!

Adore you!

I LOVE this new show. Sure I couldn't wait to see Flipping Out each week, but I was sometimes frustrated that the "reveals" took so long to happen. You do excellent work, Jeff, and I'm very happy to see the results of your talent at the end of each episode now. Keep up the great job!

Loved Flipping Out....HATE the new show!!!! I couldn't even make it through the entire first episode! Where's the old crew???? I will not be watching this!!!

Love Jeff & Jenni but I found the show boring. Made me missing "Flipping Out". Please say Bravo will bring it back!!!

I will watch anything with you & Jenni in it! More, please!
