Million Dollar Listing LA - Season 11

Who else thinks Flagg’s husband is being worked over by his trainer on the daily?

I was struck by how obnoxiously over the top the whole show is about money, status and possesions. The pricing of many of the properties are completely skewed into infinity. I cant for the life of me understanding why so many people from all over the world come to LA to throw their money away on homes. Tax advantages? Money laundering? The ironic thing in my estimation is in about 15 years there is going to cease being anything that comes out of any water faucet In LA and they will be running dry as will Ariz and NM and Nevada........all that money and materialism just hastens the expending of what limited resources we have left. Disgusting.

There's definitely a massive amount of conspicuous consumption, but that's not just LA. That's ever major city in the world. It's not nearly as perverse as Dubai. But remember: this is a Bravo show - their specialty is materialism porn.

Spend some time in LA, and you'll see it's nowhere near how MDL-LA portrays it.

What was the deal with that queen that hired Tracy to sell his house. Holy shit he was annoying, and 100% artificial face.

R4 Did you notice when they were sitting in his office at Too Faced his face was pulled so damn tight you could bounce a quarter off of it but the back of his neck was very wrinkly and saggy reavealing his true age

One of the issues I have with LA is the blatant materialism as lifestyle. Like an Instagram lifestyle. I feel like NYC doesn’t have that same in-your-face materialism and it isn’t as worshipped as it is in LA. MDL-LA captures that. Both the tears and the houses - as well as the insight into the buyers.

The most recent reason of MDLNY was definitely lacking something and was just going through the motions. I thought the premiere of MDLLA was fantastic and had a great energy. I also noticed that they’ve added in some new production values to make the show feel fresh and snappy. Tracy Maltas was a great addition last season and definitely can go toe to toe with the boys. MDLNY needs to add someone similar to Tracy. The new guy on Tracy’s team is hot and looks familiar.

Any reason why Madison is gone?

Crystal meth addiction was getting too hard to hide. He looked like shit.

R9 That wouldn't surprise me. Was it ever determined how he broke his jaw a couple years back?

I've seen his previous boytoy on Tinder.

R9 He is rapidly losing his hair. I still have access to his Insta. I followed him before he made it private. He was completely mental on the show last season. Good riddance I say and this comes from someone who used to like Madison. I have no idea what happened. He used to be nice, but he changed and became completely unlikable.

I read his published comments this last summer about why he was leaving and he more or less implied he was sick of the show impeding on his love life. His last boyfriend didnt like the public airings or something to that effect and that was the reason for their breakup.. Madison seemed to have been at the end of his rope over the show and was extremely relieved not to be on it anymore. THe one thing I did notice about the guys he was involved with that were on camera is Madison seemed to be a lot more into them than they were of him and needy in the extreme/ it could be just the fact of being on air or maybe editing, but that was the vibe I got.

I dont know if drugs were part of is downfall but I kind of got the impression he might have an extreme eating disorder. At any rate he doesnt seem to be well. Also his behavior as an agent and dealings with other realtors was always rocky. Out of all the agents on this show I would question Madison s ethics mroe than any of the others, even Altman/

I think Madison has late stage AIDS.

Altman is such a sleezebag. I would never have the opportunity to do business with him, even with my close proximity, but I'd pick the brits or Flagg over him every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

Madison just didn’t seem like a good realtor either. The others seemed super ambitious. Madison not so much.

Also, Flagg's husband and Tracy seem to be the voices of reason. The Dean Martins to Flagg/Altman's Jerry Lewis.

I'll forever hate myself for saying this but: I'd fuck Josh Altman (he should do something about his hair, though)

Now, I'm going to go away and, as the Japanese would say, be one with my shame.

Those Brits would never be selling high end real estate in Britain with those low class accents.

These shows prove you can don't have to be very smart to be in real estate. It's ridiculous how much in commissions these people make. As property values go up, their commissions go up, but they don't work any harder.

R18 The US is taken by any British accent for some reason. Look at Cat Deeley for this. No talent, looks and sounds like a slapper.

Altman is 2 cm away from being a true pinhead.

WHoa, Heather! She has more plastic than a Chinese toy factory. It's now clear to me that Altman and Heather are made for eachother; Wannabe Hollywood power couple but really coming off as tacky transplants.

Heather has never been a looker but she is white and thin.

I like Josh Flagg and met him through a friend, but I can't understand why he is such a label queen. He comes from money and has his own, but enough with the Cartier, Vuitton and Hermes. We know you're rich.

R19, you obviously know nothing about real estate.

Those commissions they show are before you subtract expenses- the broker's cut, "referral fees" to attorneys and business mangers (most of whom are pigs), expenses for promotion and more.

Also, you usually have no benefits so you are paying 100% for insurance and your retirement plan.

This show makes it look fairly easy and glamorous, but in reality it's rare that a house is sold "all cash, 7 day close". After the first set of negotiations, come the home inspection where the deal can fall apart and you make nothing after weeks of work.

If it was that easy, everyone would be selling real estate.

Flagg is physically disgusting. I'm certain I would vomit if I were ever required to have any physical intimacy with him. Even with the plastic surgery, he still looks and sounds like a creepy little subhuman. The weird thing is that his parents look like normal people.

[quote]I dont know if drugs were part of is downfall but I kind of got the impression he might have an extreme eating disorder.

I agree. Even Madison's brother told him to eat a burger.

Josh Flagg has had multiple nose and chin jobs, and still looks like hell. His new husband is cute in an InstaHo way.

Josh Altman looks like a fuckin potato head cartoon character. His sleazy brother Matt is thhe true douchebag. Madison is a lisping queen who wears the ugliest clothes ever. Did he really think that weho twink was into him for anything more then screentime?

Madison can't keep a man, that's for sure.

Anyone notice Josh Altman not being featured on the show last night? It seems he's getting less and less screen time. Other than being totally unlikable, do you think there's another reason he's being cut out of episodes?

I think it’s ridiculous that Altman drives a Rolls Royce

R28 LMAO at your first sentence/description of the douchey Altman.

R30 "Other than being totally unlikable", I don't have any inside info, but I do think you answered your own question.

On another note. I think bringing in the Brits bro/friend was a bad idea. He's an arrogant snob who tries to act like a hotshot, which makes him come across as emotionally immature and insecure.

R32 I don't think that's stop reality producers from limited screen time before. Being unlikable is part of reality TV. It's the person everyone loves to hate.

Something in my gut tells me that he's being phased out, and it's because of some kind of Altman malfeasance. Perhaps some huge real estate ethical violation, or legal troubles.

fire em all, boring as turd. how do they keep these snots on tv???? why?

R33 Josh and Heather are expecting their second child in July. Maybe he wanted to be phased out of MDLLA because of his time away from his family. Between his job and filming he's not home very much and even though Heather is part of the show, she has a huge problem with Josh missing out on a lot with his baby daughter. Although, it's more likely to be, as you suggested, some type of ethics violation or legal troubles. After all, Altman is a money-grubbing, materialistic scumbag.

theyr all stunningly unappealing. do the producers know this?? this is the best they can find?

I know the guy had cancer, but David's brother is a tool, complete spanner.

It doesn't make sense to me that Tracey has been shortlisted to rep BS 'high-end' real estate in Dubai - the show has shown she is a fricken magus at coaching burnt-out LA ladies out of their homes post-divorce into slightly less spacious crystal-encrusted mansions.

Altman is everything, you fucks. I’m fairly certain I’m the only one here with a $3M house in the Hills and Josh Altman is who I’ll use to sell it.

R39, good for you. I'd rather work with Flagg.

R39 Hey Altman, you self-hating jew, your wife looks like a possum.

I can't figure out WHAT Heather did to her face. She looked normal when she worked for Madison. Now she looks like a plastic doll.

She bleached her hair platinum and got a liquid facelift that filled in the parenthesis around her nose. Below is a pic before the work.

Compare. A big smile that shows less of what should be bigger parenthasis. It fact that parenthesis almost fades.

Here is when the liquid facelift was new and hadn't settled.

I find her so unattractive but she’s white, blonde and thin. That’s like striking gold for a self-hating Jew like Altman.

If it's any consolation, Heather is a bottle blonde.

Altman prepares for Baby #2, which will be a boy.

Jesus, her face!

I think Josh Flagg's husband is a complete horse's ass. He is one dimensional, predictable and your typical dogmatic modern minimalism Millennial. Josh's husband wants one of those average dull, ugly, no character, lifeless mod homes and Josh wants a home with some character, charm and history. But uncultured gay Ken Barbie doll claims Josh Flagg is being unfair for not going along with him to buy a glass box with a steel frame called a house. I think Josh Flagg is very smart and cultured for his age. The gay Ken Barbie doll knew Josh Flagg was into antiques, art, sculpture, decorative art, etc. Why did he marry Josh? Why did the gay Ken Barbie doll chose to marry someone that is intellectually not on the same level as him? Then gay Ken Barbie doll gets pissed off that Josh Flagg doesn't like those MOD ugly homes, and next week he's going to tell Josh off, and tell Josh he's a spoiled brat? I think gay Ken Barbie doll is the one acting like a entitled brat. On last night's show, he and Josh saw some very,very beautiful homes that need some work(Josh has the money to renovate and restore a home of course) and then gay Ken Barbie doll gets rude calling these homes various names in front of the relators, Hey Josh? Dump this idiot whose IQ is a single digit! I think there relationship will not last.

Poor thing, you actually think that house hunting was anything but filler? They will buy what Josh wants, because he is the one with money and Bobby was club trash.

Josh Flagg is the top right?

Most all the realtors on these shows (both NY and LA) just look sleazy, cheesy, and in some cases, nasty. If I walked into a realty office looking to buy a property and either one of these slimy looking skeezes approached me to be my realtor I'd turn around and walk out.

If I was ever looking for a house in LA again, I would definitely use Josh Flagg. He may be a lazy, entitled socialite in his $1000 slippers and Rolls Royce but he does know about every nice house in his area and its history. He's lucky he had family money and connections, otherwise there's not much future for someone with no education.

Josh Altman's face looks like an insect. Josh Flagg's boyfriend seems like he is not very bright.

why caint they fire the bunch. theyr insufferable dumbo queens. unreal.

love the hot stud with beard/longish hair in the nyc one. yessss

hire brandy Glanville, don't she sell houses now?

Josh Flagg's husband is a himbo. Those skin tight clothes are really embarrassing. Josh can buy him all the gold Rolexes and Cartier bracelets in the world but he still looks trashy.

R59, Bingo! I totally agree. Does anyone think Josh Altman might be a closet case bi? For some reason I get the vibe Josh Altman is the type of guy who puts on this extra macho guy bull crap because he is sexually insecure. Also, deep down he has the secret hots for guys?

Altman was great in "Freaks".

R61! LOL!!! Oh My Gosh!! I can't stop laughing!! You're great!

Oh god r61 isn't even far off. I was gonna say he looks like a potato but you're more accurate.

R50 - I found those scenes equally annoying and odd. Why did those two ever get together? They seem so different. Bobby is a total airhead who should just go live in his glass and steel box. Homes with character that can be renovated / preserved can come out amazingly well if you have good people working on it & Josh knows everyone. He is also pretty straightforward when he sees an older home that can't be redeemed. He was so up front with that one client earlier this season calling her house a tear-down within 5 minutes. He'd definitely know what to buy and how to renovate it, but Bobby wants a metal box.

I also agree a lot of that is filler though.

Because Josh Flagg is still ugly with multiple nose jobs, chin implants and ear pinning. Plus, he's got a skinny but flabby body. He bought the cutest and dumbest husband he could.

Interesting ending last night. I'm curious what will be said on the reunion show. I noticed the co-listed property was still for sale.

I was surprised by the house they finally bought. It's a lot of work to redo all the things Josh wanted, and it still seems like it wouldn't satisfy Bobby - based on the way he was "acting" though who knows how scripted it was. I guess I couldn't see his vision as much as he could.

The Dubai monstrosities never cease to amaze me. From the palm island they dredged from sand to fill in the water to those hideous high rises along the dead main road in the middle of the desert - yuck.

Considering Bobby's background, a double-wide is grand.

The house Josh bought is just a bigger version of his Spanish on Cory Dr in WeHo. Bobby is just along for the ride.

I agree with Flagg in one area..........the tear downs that got replaced by big white modern boxes in the bird streets and on the west side here and there................. with tons of white marble on all surfaces and the ever present nana wall folding doors might be......... in............... at the moment, but they are going to look dated in 5 or 10 years. Also you are paying top dollar for this crap and there is no where for the price to go but down. You are much better off financially in the long run buying a fixer in the flats or in a good area in the hills and enhancing the bones of the house somewhat and enjoying it and holding it.

What Flagg and most of the residents of LA cant imagine tho is the continuation of global warming and each year snowpack falls and bankable water going to resorvoirs falls and eventually the colorado river cant provide for water for the entire west anymore. Yes this year the rains came and they look in ok shape as to drought. But if you look at the trending, severe drought is going to be the norm. Not to go on and on................. but I would wager within 15 years or so there isnt going to be anything coming out of your water faucet in LA, period. Game over. So then, what is your house worth? All those people dropping 10 mil on an LA house I hope they have a hell of a lot of money banked as they are going to have to pick up stakes and walk away from their palaces and move to another part of the country berfore more than a decade or 2 rolls around.

Please, the rich will get around everything. They will buy water (like they've already done), just like people installed gas tanks back during the oil crisis.

R69, I live in Northern California and I'm tenth generation Californian, and I have native Californian ancestry. The reason why we are having major water issues is because we have so many people moving into the state that the population out weighs the amount of water what the reservoirs can produce. Yes there are a lot of people moving out of the state, but we are also getting A LOT of people moving in from all over the country who are tech jerks. They act like they are going to find gold out here. Where I live there are license plates from all over the world. A LOT of us in Northern California HATE these Tech Jerks!! because we are going through hell.

I told my doctor I was born and raised in California and he looked at me in shock. He said I never met someone who was born and raised in California.

R71, wow. Never knew of anyone that far back in CA. I'm 5th generation and people are surprised by that.

R72, yep, my family were Spanish land grant owners and natives. We are related to a lot of land grant families.My great, great, etc. grandfather was William Hartnell. Also, we are related to many historic people who are part of early California history. He is the Wikipedia link to info on my great, great, great, grandfather William Hartnell.

Thanks R73.

me, me, ME!

....and Starla Cakes, I guess.
