Every weekend I turn on the the TV, and I see eighty episodes of Flip This House owned and written by The Big Trademark Southern Boy. First thing I think when the show comes on is A&E STOLE THIS IDEA!!!!!!! Then I remember a line from the episode where Ginger tells Richard that the contractors wanted $40,000 for the $10,000 job. Sadly I forget the exact wording (even though A&E have shown it 400 times), but it's along the lines of "these country boys don't know who there dealing with", and it makes me think of the greed a person or NETWORK must have to steal an idea, then assume they can find success using the idea, with different casts. Carefully paying attention to details, such as Will they work for less then scale? Are they smart or just thugs, whom kick doors in, and take a wholesome idea and turn it into Jerry Springer with hammers? Will they care if we steal the idea from another person,or be happy to have TV exposer, will they mind if we exploit them, and have fans upset, that they are unprofessional SCABS? I admit, they tried hard to mix the perfect combo's up. We have the brothers, and wives. One is a close close double for Gingers lap dog! We have the Kevin Character, only dumb, and works for slave wages. We have the Richard character, with the only difference being Richard knows money keeps you in business, but doesn't bring you peace of mind. Where as his double would throw this grand parents out if he bought the house they lived in. The other brother spends more time trying to be as pretty as Ginger, but ends up looking like John after a week with the Queer Eye crew ( not that there's anything wrong with that) Sorry John! We have the wife that is in charge of fixing up the house on the agreed upon budget (usually about $35) She tries to be Dawn, but Dawn is assertive not sneaky, and slimy. Plus the new STOLEN FLIP is full of people, whom agree to work for a low wage, but can never ever!!! satisfy the brothers McSlim. In fact the differences between the two shows, are so so apparent, and at this point pathetic. That I would not be shocked whatsoever if once the cameras shut off they have the little kids working on the house for there room and board. Yes this is a silly silly topic, and a little over dramatic!, but the point A&E missed is that like a baseball team, the name and market matter not when you have scabs playing for you!!! See You Next Year on your new channel!!!!!! Trademark = class act!!!! The Rest = bellow standard in every single way!!!!!!!
