Bravo is bringing back Million Dollar Listing for a second season this summer. The docu-series gives viewers an inside look at the most exclusive realtors in the Los Angeles area, a luxurious but dangerous place to work. Despite the soft market, these agents will stop at nothing to close million dollar deals in neighborhoods like Malibu, Beverly Hills and Hollywood. Josh Flagg, Madison Hildebrand and Chad Rogers, L.A.'s up-and-coming realtors, are the stars of this season. Flagg is known to send clients up in helicopters to view properties and has wrapped a home in a big red bow for a pair of new owners. Hildebrand, touted as the "King of Malibu," has sold over 80 million in real estate in the past two years. Rogers had his real estate license at the age of 18. Some of his celebrity clients include Paris Hilton, Nick Lachey, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Minnie Driver, and Coach Larry Brown.
I tried watching Million Dollar Listing last season. I thought, "Hmm. I like big expensive houses. I like Flipping Out. I'll probably like this show." It was so boring. I felt like the drama between the agents was contrived and no one was interesting enough. Flipping Out is a much better show on all accounts. First, there's Jeff Lewis. I could watch Jeff Lewis brush his teeth and it would be interesting (probably because he have some neurotic freak out about the kind of toothpaste or how it was placed in the drawer). Second, the show does a good job of explaining the professional elements without making it too technical. Lastly, all of the other "characters" on the show are involved with Jeff. They give us even more insight into Jeff's pysche.
Million Dollar Listing will premiere on Tuesday August 5th at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, immediately following the season finale of Flipping Out. The series will then move to its regular time, Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
