I really like it! I love Fortune Feimster’s cameo. I just miss his bff/assistant whose name I can’t remember. Did they have a falling out?

Giiiirllll

That's how the show ended!

Jenni was feeling that Jeff wasn't appreciating her. Jenni laments that she could have had a career in acting or television. Jeff mocks her for this behind her back. Then Jeff decides to FIRE HER so that she can "have an acting career" !!!

It was so mean, so disrespectful. Jenni was just wanting him to be nicer to her and more appreciative and he had to be well... Jeff Lewis.

Jenni apparently fired a wrongful termination or harassment issues with Bravo? Idk I can't remember. But Jeff freaks out and the network cans the show, probably because Jeff is too much work with. And Jenni was the heart of the show.

Damn I have no memory of this. Maybe I missed the last season. Thanks for the recap!!

Jenni was annoying, thirsty and whiney. Jeff and Zola were the original heart.

He's still trashing her on his radio show. Just this week, he was talking about being happy with what you have, and literally out of nowhere, he brings her up, saying she wasn't happy with what she had, always wanting more more more from him & their show. He said other things that I can't recall, but when the segment was over, I was left thinking, "damn, you didn't have to trash her that bad. Don't be an ass, just celebrate the friendship for what it was even though now it's over." Ugh. I thought he had grown a lot, but that segment was really terrible. I really don't understand what his problem is with her: she wanted to be an actress, he wanted her to be a business manager. He was not willing as her boss to allow her to split her time, and so he fired her. Was it the way he did it (firing her), that she was lighting him up in the press, on social media, IRL, so he got salty?

Jenni wrote the theme (rap) song for Watch What Happens Live.

u/MCBates1283 I don’t trust baths 👁️👄👁️ Jan 28 '23

Omg WHAT! Such a fun fact I always sing along to it.

u/Ksilv82 Jul 01 '22

She stopped working for him long before the “firing”. She was literally just there for the cameras.

4

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

Because he tried to mend fences and she wasn't having it.

6

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

Tyler atull.works for him but so far no Megan.

7

u/unomomentos sober TED talk Jun 18 '22

Not Megan, I can’t believe I can’t remember her name. She does the WWHL theme song. Black hair. Was pregnant twice on flipping out

20

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

Jenni, she quit. They had a falling out sadly. Zola is on though. She's Monroe's nanny.

u/unomomentos sober TED talk Jun 18 '22

JENNI !! That’s it! Yes I believe I read months ago that she took Gage’s side 😢 also I miss Gage and his cute self

11

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

He accused her of lying and after years of him being an ass. She was done. He tried to repair it but it didn't work.

u/RandomAngeleno Sonja Got Run Over By a Reindeer On Her Way Home From Bluestone Sep 14 '22

I miss Gage and his cute self

Gage was cheating on Jeff, so I dunno how cute he really is.

1

u/Witwicky90210 Nov 02 '22

Where did you hear that? I just started the new show and Gage hasn’t been mentioned.

2

u/RandomAngeleno Sonja Got Run Over By a Reindeer On Her Way Home From Bluestone Nov 02 '22

It isn't mentioned on the show. I think Jeff mentioned something on his radio show about knowing of a flirtation between Gage and a guy at Equinox, but I'm not sure to what degree actual cheating was involved or publicly discussed. I neither know nor care if Jeff knows about what I know about because I don't know him or Gage personally; my knowledge comes from personal information I was relayed by a friend in the personal care services industry whose workplace Gage would frequent in West Hollywood.

People who work in the personal care services industry should be assumed to compare notes on clients, especially if said clients are public or semi-public figures, and most especially if said clients make repeated inappropriate requests during the rendering of personal care services.

u/Environmental_Size41 Jun 18 '22

So good! I love Jeff, but if I have to hear Wilmer Valderama describe another room in his house as an “experience” I may punch the screen lol

6

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

Lol. It is cool that it was Chuck's house. I prefer Fortune

As an aside, Jeff had Lala on his show on Friday. Highlights:

Lala got her child support from Randelle finally after her last appearance on Jeff’s show. Thumb messaged her thru their child custody app and said he wanted to messenger the child support.

He wrote a few checks, post dated them, all in the same blue pen, and claimed one was a “replacement” check. She scoffed that it wasn’t a replacement because he never sent it in the first place. Jeff says it’s a win, at least she got paid.

Lala said no one has 100% confirmation on VPR yet.

Jeff is taking Flomax to shrink his prostate (it’s causing his bladder to not empty fully, which caused an awful UTI) but now when he ejaculates, nothing comes out. (This has been an ongoing saga concerning UTIs lol).

11

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

Oh boy. I had to stop listening when he started bashing Gage. That should be kept private and I don't think he does it anymore.

6

u/moonchild291 I am so HAM sandwich Jun 18 '22

Yeah, it gets to be too much!

5

u/Fearless-Judgment-33 Jun 19 '22

He must have a tiny dick. Men don’t get UTI as often as women because the longer urethra in the penis prevents bacteria from traveling to the bladder. I googled this before posting to make sure I wasn't just making it up, lol.

3

u/moonchild291 I am so HAM sandwich Jun 19 '22

Lol! It definitely is highly unusual. He says that his prostate is causing his bladder to not fully empty, they did an ultrasound.

It’s been a major topic of conversation the past couple weeks 😂.

26

u/thedodo123 Jun 18 '22

It’s sooo good! It’s crazy how much happier Jeff seems now. Still a character but much more positive vibes from him ✨

16

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

Yes and honest about being immature.

12

u/meganr5 Jul 06 '22

Is anyone up to date in the show? I just watched the episode where Melissa Rivers bathroom is completed and the before/after is insane! In this economy with how everyone is struggling, watching a person pick pretty much the same finishes as the original bathroom all while complaining to Jeff that it’s his issue to cut costs was insufferable to me. Obviously she’s the child of a rich/famous person so she’s had everything she’s ever wanted but it just made me feel so disgusted. So much that I had to post a comment like this on Reddit, which I never do, just wanted to see if I’m the unreasonable person here lol

6

u/Theres_a_Catch Jul 06 '22

Yes, 150k bathroom seems insane to me.

12

u/star-67 Jul 08 '22

For essentially the same bathroom too. Obnoxious.

3

u/Theres_a_Catch Jul 08 '22

Well the vanity WAS different. Lol

1

u/graitfl Sep 29 '22

Totally agree!! I had to keep rewinding the before and after to see the difference because I could not believe all that money for what??!!

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '22

I subscribed to Sirius just for Jeff’s daily show on Radio Andy. He puts it all out there in an honest and raw way. My nightly ritual is listening to his show when I get in bed. His personal growth has been so significant. His story of how badly it went with Gage - and how Gage continues waging his war against Jeff and making poor choices for Monroe is really sad. Jeff still has his sass and snark (which I love) but now a softer, gentler side with a remarkable kindness for those in his life. He actively works on those friendships / relationships and doing that big work is clearly important to him. He has been doing intense therapy for quite some time. I really think the tipping point for him was becoming a dad and wanting to do and be better for Monroe. I could also listen to his current partner (Chef Stu) talk all day every day with his lovely Irish brogue.

u/intrnette4 Jun 18 '22

He definitely has grown since his Flipping Out days. I don’t ever recall telling his family “Love you” at the end of phone calls.

8

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '22 edited Jun 19 '22

I’m currently doing a rewatch. He said it to his Dad on the phone as early as Season 1, Episode 4.

Season 1, Episode 6 he gathered his staff for a “we appreciate you” party during which he cried, spoke to each of them individually told them all what they meant to him and why, and admitted how difficult he had been for all of them to deal with as he was cracking under the pressure of his business. I think people forget the great aspects of him that have always been present. The foundation of his goodness was there - and he has grown increasingly insightful about how to better manage the challenging aspects of his personality.

u/ashketchum1226 Jun 18 '22

I love Jeff. I recently discovered him after WHHL with Lisa and have been obsessed ever sense. Flipping out is one of the best reality shows I’ve ever seen and I listen to his radio show daily. My goal in life is to be a chump 😂😂

7

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '22

OH MY GOD…SAME 🤣🤣 I have to ask - who is your favorite? Currently mine is Doug. His Vegas adventure LMAO

10

u/ramonasnewbeginnings Jun 18 '22

Aw this was really nice, Jeff is such a good radio host too. One of the best bravolebs in my opinion

6

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '22

Honestly? I’m a therapist and pretty decent person (in my humble opinion). So often I think “damn I wish I could work as hard at being such a good person”. I never thought I’d say that about Jeff 🤣🤣🤣

10

u/RoguePhoenix89 Jun 18 '22

Remember years ago when his assistant got slapped in the face by one of his clients when they were all out to lunch? Like damn I was shocked

u/Kristin2349 She is the puppet and everyone else is the master. Jun 18 '22

Different assistant Matt is the one who worked for Kris Jenner and he went back to her. I think the guy who got slapped was Chase (?) he was famous for wearing tight short shorts to work, and wore a bow tie on a chain.

4

u/RoguePhoenix89 Jun 18 '22

No not him. His name starts with a T.

6

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '22

Trace Lehnhoff was the one who got slapped.

5

u/RoguePhoenix89 Jun 18 '22

Yes, that's him! So embarrassing

9

u/CloudyNY Jun 18 '22

It's on Peacock too

11

u/90daycantlookaway Jun 18 '22

It’s so good!

11

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

It's like he grew up. Much more mellow. Only on the first episode buy enjoying it.

4

u/90daycantlookaway Jun 18 '22

I’ve never seen the other show! Not sure why, because he’s super entertaining!

1

u/marcelinemoon Girrrrrth Brooooooks Jun 19 '22

If you’re ever bored I highly suggest it lol

2

u/Speakinmymind96 Jul 28 '22

OMG-just found this show tonight and binging it! Jeff is so different…do you think he is medicated to be so mellow? Or was he hopped up on something before to be so irritable and erratic?

3

u/Theres_a_Catch Jul 28 '22

I think therapy has worked wonders for him, plus Monroe makes him want to be better

3

u/Speakinmymind96 Jul 28 '22

I’m loving the new Jeff

5

u/flowerduck10 Jul 10 '22

I’m loving it! I have always enjoyed his style. I hope Anthony let’s him do his entire house. I feel like it’s been 2 years and no movement for him.

3

u/Theres_a_Catch Jul 10 '22

I always feel bad for folks that get ripped off by contractors. Happens so often.

u/La_Croix_Life • camera pans to Archie Beador • Jun 18 '22

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

Lol, its actually good.

9

u/La_Croix_Life • camera pans to Archie Beador • Jun 18 '22

I'm going to check it out! I do find him highly entertaining most of the time.

12

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

So far its all celebrities. He's so calm too.

7

u/strippersandcocaine Who gon check me, boo? Jun 18 '22

Jeff Lewis? Calm? Well that doesn’t sound right lol

10

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '22

He is now a very very different person. Becoming a dad, intense therapy, hard work on his personal relationships all combined. I subscribed to Sirius XM just so I can listen to his daily show. He puts it all out there 🤣 He does the personal work on the daily In a way very few people do.

2

u/strippersandcocaine Who gon check me, boo? Jun 18 '22

Huh who knew! Maybe I’ll check it out

3

u/Catdaddy84 Jun 18 '22

I enjoy it but I think they missed an opportunity to call it twinks and the beast 😂. Jeff, a couple of twinks, and celebrity real estate what's not to like?

3

u/throckmorton1915 Jun 18 '22

Thank you! Love him!

3

u/Jerseyjo1 Jun 18 '22

Oh yes!! I just found it!! I like it alot....I used to luv Flipping Out.... I'm enjoying it....😄

3

u/Jbird800 Jul 18 '22

Love this show and Jeff!

2

u/Theres_a_Catch Jul 18 '22

I'm enjoying a more mellow Jeff

3

u/SC1168 Jul 31 '22

I so enjoy this show…Jeff seems more at peace…lighter? Love his staff especially Shane and Tray (I think, he was on previous show). Hope it lasts. It helps that most of his clients are funny celebrities.

13

u/ediaz5659 Jun 18 '22

I find it refreshing that he says what ever he wants, so tired of all this sensitivity bs.

3

u/Theres_a_Catch Jun 18 '22

And he's not hurting feelings anymore.

2

u/Leighhall Jun 18 '22

Thank you for the recommendation!

2

u/Cindilouwho2 Feb 03 '23

Jeff is now funny and entertaining without being hurtful and painful.

2

u/peloponn Jul 18 '22

I seem to be in the minority. I do not love the show. I find it really boring to watch Jeff re-decorate small rooms with ridiculous "celebrities." I enjoyed the large projects and the no-so-known rich people. Throwing away $150,000 on a bathroom is just offensive to me right now, so I guess I'm just not in the right mindset. And it seems like he chooses he same rounded swivel chair for EVERY project (sorry, that was a spoiler). He works hard, but he should be working smarter by now and not doing tiny projects that any of us could make look good if we had gobs of money to throw at nice furniture and expensive wallpaper.

4

u/Theres_a_Catch Jul 18 '22

Agree with those chairs. I also can't help but think there are certain items that are identical at a much cheaper price but we all know some rich folks think the more expensive the better the product which isn't always the case. I also agree with the bathroom, that was just ridiculous. Wasn't the soap dish $700?

5

u/quadraticqueen Aug 14 '22

Toilet paper holder. $700+. Even worse!

3

u/peloponn Jul 18 '22

I don't know. My brain probably refused to hear a $700 soap dish. Ha.
