Really Surprised!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

OK. These have to be some of the most self-absorbed people I've ever seen. Yes, it is reality TV. Yes, it is scripted.But now they've brought a baby into the mix. They have gone through seven nannies? They have a maid. This is all fabricated, and ludicrous.I have been approached to work realty TV production several times. The whole thing is a scam. I have always turned it down. Reality TV offers @#$* money, and treats everybody like @#$*.This show was somewhat tolerable, until they brought in a baby. Just horrible.And the whole 2017 "Versailles" fiasco? Ridiculous. Who believes this stuff? I've watched out of horrible fascination. I suppose that makes me complicit to garbage TV.Again, reality TV is total fabrication. I hope that people really understand this fact.

I personally don't understand why people watch this show and why it's still on the air. I love house hunters and any type of house renovation or flipping show. There are several good ones out there. The general gist of it is, there's a run down house and people transform it into something beautiful. But this show is falsely marketed as a flipping show when about 99% is about Jeff's personal dramas, usually filmed while he's driving around in his car or sitting around his house and 1% is about him standing around some house, usually telling people off. There is no footage of before and after shots or at least some progression of his actual renovation work. Is he actually involved in any renovation at all? Because I've never seen him renovate a single house. If you want to watch a totally self absorbed individual constantly manufacturing drama with everyone around him, doing a lot of driving in the car and never actually accomplishing anything, then you might enjoy this show but I really have to question why, just why on earth.

Personally, I can't stand Jeff Lewis who is this compulsive obsessive decorator/contractor/ or real estate developer. I don't know. What bothers me about Bravo shows is the treatment of women in it's reality cast. The housewives don't count in this category and that's another story. I can't understand how anybody can say that Jeff Lewis has a big heart after he mistreats his staff around him. Jeff needs to seek psychiatric help. He's so self-absorbed. This season, he has his boyfriend working for him. He treats his assistant Jenni Pulos with his constant criticism and belittlement. Personally, I would love to see Jenni leave and start her own firm away from Jeff. He's too negative and self-centered. His relationship with his housekeeper Zoila is another story. Zoila does more than just clean and cook for him. In fact, he should be lucky to have her in his life. I would have left a long time ago if I was in that position. But Jeff Lewis himself is not a likable person. When I saw the episode where a customer was being abusive to his employees, he didn't handle it right. He didn't come to their defenses. Anyway, I don't like the guy. Watching him berate his staff is loathsome form of entertainment.

First of all, Jeff Lewis has to be the boss that you would love to hate and that he shows a self-congratulatory attitude and arrogance towards those that are under him. With the exception of Zoila the maid, in which she doesn't fear him. He really treats his staff and just isn't understandable of others. Ryan Brown, his ex-lover and still good friend and partner, is the complete opposite of him. Really likable and treats his staff right. Maybe he grew up with great parents while having unlovable parents for Jeff, turned him out to be the way that he is. He is OCD true. But still, you should treat others the way that you would love to be treated. No more nor no less. As Jenni stays by his side. And seems loyal to him despite him being a jerk. But I guess that is what Bravo people wants are jerks.
