    Do you have a favorite crew?

    I love that show! Armando is the consummate asshole. I like the Trademark crew from South Carolina and the CT crew from Connecticut the best, but I have a heard time watching the Atlanta crew. Peter really gets on my nerves.

    I love Rudy from LA.
    Armando is an asshole, and the first episode that they aired today just reinforced why...
    Frankly, I think the show would have been better served by using David Montelongo instead of Armando.
    There is an entire website on the lawsuits of Armando and Veronica (who I think is a good lookin girl)
    What I don't understand about Peter in Atlanta is that almost all the jobs he gets are taken down to the stud... That's not house flipping, that construction work!

    I'm curious if you watch the Armando ep's despite or because of Armando's behavior... or not watch them at all?

    But yeah, Richard was much more entertaining to watch. And I would dare say Richard actually succeeded at flipping homes. He seems to be wealthy (including owning a minor league baseball team and his helicopter) and knowledgeable... where Armando seems to sweat $800 and doesn't seem to understand that going over budget for the sake of improving quality is not always a bad thing. I don't think Armando had any real idea of what he is doing and simply took advantage of a housing market that was exponentially increasing in Texas

    really? well sometimes it feels like there can be long droughts where we only get thrown re-run bones once in a blue moon

    I liked the original Atlanta crew. The one with the gorgeous female investor/model.

    Currently I also like the SC and CT crews.

    And Veronica in San Antonio ... whew!

    Actually, the Armando episodes are a riot. I get a kick out of watching him go ballistic on some hapless contractor because he actually came in with a realistic bid for the work that needs to be done.
