Desert Flippers

I was a bit skeptical when I saw a flipping show rated over 9 stars (that's up in "Breaking Bad" range), but it's actually very good for what it is. It lacks the more annoying elements found in most other flipping shows: obnoxious and sleazy guys who shout a lot, bleach-blonde wives with no qualification beyond thinking they have an eye for design, heavy scripting, bumbling employee to blame things on, etc.

That's enough to put it ahead of the pack. But the couple doing the flipping are pretty funny and geeky. They talk naturally and intelligently to each other, manufacturing neither dissent nor agreement. The production is pretty good too ... nice filming, good aerial shots, editing, background music, etc. And they include both the positive and negative comments from potential buyers - they aren't trying to make every flip look ideal.

I tried watching this show this morning and was TOTALLY turned off by Eric and Lindsey!! They are terrible!! Eric spends all of his time trying to be funny!! Lindsey tries to impress everyone by throwing out renovation terms!! I get it!! You know how to flip homes. Try using terms that everyone knows. I love watching flipping shows but I will not watch this one again!! Just because you can flip homes, doesn't mean you know how to talk on TV!!! I stopped watching Fixer Upper because of Chip!! He tried also to be funny and wasn't. I do not want to watch a comedy show!! I want to watch houses being renovated!! NO ONE can beat Flip or Flop!! That is absolutely the best flipping show!! They are the best ever!! When I got on this site to do a review, I read the other reviews and everyone feels the same as me!! Take a hint HGTV!! Take this couple off of the network!! No one can beat the original!! Stop trying to find couples that have no place on TV!!!

Interesting to see Palm Springs area properties, and the Bennetts seem to address the market well. The episodes I've seen so far focus on affordable homes with realistic profits. I like that they actually show some negative comments at the open houses, which makes the show more believable. We've all got different tastes after all. I would love to see them take on some more expensive properties as well so we could get a rounded out idea of PS real estate. I love a modern take on Mid Century Modern so I thought I'd be blown away by their designs but I'm not. That's not the most important part of a flipping project though - making a profit is. The Bennetts seem to find buyers and make a profit, so they're doing their thing right but I would still love to be rewarded with some "Wow!" designs. My only hesitation with this show is I find Eric and Lindsey annoying. Eric is constantly the class clown and Lindsey seems unnatural and constantly giggling. I don't really want cute when I'm watching a flipping show. I would like it more if they'd be more confident in their professional prowess and cut out the cutesy, But I'll keep watching.

Love this couple. Above the original flippers, equal to the other flip/floppers. So cute and do a really appealing job even though I wouldn't come that area as my home area. They make it gorgeous.

This show is full of gems The Bennett's have experience and it shows. I love their sense of humor and their relationship is warm and equal. They try and keep the rehab costs realistic. I watch multiple shows and they don't disappoint. Good going Bennett's!
