(S02E01) I watched the first season of Flipping Out on Bravo last summer based on a teaser I saw during Top Chef 3. The show is about a real estate "flipper" who buys properties, fixes them up and then resells them for a profit. You might say, "Yawn, that's just like a bunch of other shows on TLC, Discovery, et al." Well, yes, that's true. But Flipping Out isn't really about the flipping, it's about the flipper -- Jeff Lewis. This guy Lewis is not normal. I mean it, he's not. He says he's not. He's obsessive compulsive and it comes out in everything he does. It makes him a better flipper, because of his attention to detail, but it also makes him really hard to take if you're his employee, partner or contractor. But, boy, is it fun to watch Jeff Lewis's life! That's what Flipping Out is really all about and it's back.

It's about freaking time! Say what you want about the quality of television, but the American
Idol auditions are the greatest two weeks known to man. I sincerely think that this is what Ben Franklin had
in mind when he invented electricity. And Chicago was given the honor of being this season's first city to be
ripped to shreds by Simon. What surprises me about Chicago isn't its lack of talent (yes, I know they air the worst
auditions), but that I spotted at least two Mike Ditka impersonators. Mike Ditka? It's been 20 years since the Bears
won the Super Bowl. It's time to let 1985 go, Chicago.
