Season 2
The second season of Flipping Out returns with everyone's favourite obsessive-compulsive house-flipper, Jeff Lewis.
It takes a special kind of personality to handle flipping six multimillion-dollar houses at one time, but Lewis, one of Los Angeles' most colourful creative renovators and real estate speculators, pulls it off and turns a six-figure profit on every property.
With the soft market teaching flippers new lessons as home sales decline, there's never a dull moment for Lewis and his intriguing cast of characters.
Lewis makes his living with the help of a group of diverse and oft disgruntled employees he counts as friends.
These include an assistant who moonlights doing voiceover work, a housekeeper and two house assistants, as well as his official "trash man," who moonlights as an actor and his assistant's husband.
Add to the mix his business partner and former boyfriend, his various therapists and spiritual advisors and it's clear that this intriguing cast of characters lives as one big dysfunctional family.
Like most families, Lewis' extended family has its share of issues, which results in the occasional confrontation and even a firing or two.
Aware of his "Flipping Out" tendencies, Lewis attempts to counteract them with therapy, spiritual healers, psychics, and other advisors, but things are always flipping in Lewis' world.
Each day comes with a new barrage of problems - from dealing with suspicions of his staff (that leads him to install a nanny cam on site), while trying to turn over a new leaf, exercise patience and treat his staff with dignity.
But, as Jenni says "it's a long process."
Lewis also must contend with market fluctuations, since three of his projects have yet to flip, driving him to expand his business and pick up property renovations instead.
Lewis is forced to work for others (which he hates), but in his own inimitable style takes on massive multimillion remodeling jobs.
Flipping Out is produced by Authentic Entertainment, with Lauren Lexton and Tom Rogan serving as executive producers.
