Admit it.  You love watching Real Estate shows on TV.  Remember back in the day when Ty Pennington was all the rage on the Discovery Channel and Trading Spaces seemed so cutting edge?  How quaint that show seems today.

My current favorite Real Estate celeb-reality show is Flipping out.  Follow along as this stressed out neurotic house flipper  manages his business and his personal life.

Has it dawned on anyone else that the star has a House-keeper, a House Manager and an Assistant House Manager all to run the day-to-day operations of a 2,400 square foot house?!  My current house is 2,400 square feet and I feel like an over-the-top obsessive compulsive with a once-a-week house-keeper.  And he has a 4th person as a business personal assistant.  I wish.

I am currently looking forward to the season opener for “Million Dollar Listing.”  I can’t tell yet whether I’m either going to want to kill myself, or one of them.

Sure, anyone can do $80-million at $15-million a crack.  That’s only one house every month or so.  Try making that kind of money $250,000 to $600,000 per transaction.  Slackers!

I have invented two drinking games.  You have to drink a shot or a slug of beer each time one of the stars primps his hair or is shown shirtless.  And I have to buy everyone in the room a drink each time one of the stars commits a Code Of Ethics violation or breaks License Law.  There shouldn’t be a sober patron in the room at the end of the Season Premier.

Million Dollar Listing begins this Tuesday after the Season Finale of Flipping Out.  What’s up with only doing 8 episodes???
