For the second time in two seasons, a cast member on Bravo’s docudrama Million Dollar Listing is coming out as gay. But while Madison Hildebrand started as quasi-straight and eventually discovered his sexuality in about 90 seconds of thinly developed narrative, Josh Flagg’s dating life has never been a part of the show, although his… continue reading

Chad Rogers insists his decision to leave Million Dollar Listing wasn’t “mutual” by having his lawyer threaten a TV critic
Chad Rogers has left Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing, something we first learned last April, but the terms of his departure are so important that his lawyer has threatened a TV critic–even though the critic’s reporting is based on something Bravo’s president said.

Bravo leaves behind its loathsome Million Dollar Listing realtors as Rachel Zoe debuts
With its two docudramas that conclude and debut tonight, Bravo seems to moving into a new space: following loathsome people who are only worth watching because they’re so much fun to hate. That’s not to say its other docudrama stars, from Jeff Lewis to Kathy Griffin, are flawless. But they’re at least relatable. That’s not… continue reading
Million Dollar Listing returns for a second season as Flipping Out concludes its season
Tonight, Bravo’s docudrama Flipping Out concludes its dramatic second season, which saw Jeff Lewis’ long-time employee and actor Chris Elwood get fired for lying and not actually working after Jeff installed a hidden camera, which resulted in Chris leaving his wife Jenni Pulous, Jeff’s assistant, who wrote on her blog that after being fired, Chris… continue reading
