This episode pushed me over the edge and now I’ve got to go on record proclaiming my love for this show. If you didn’t see this episode get a DVR but for those who did – was this not the BEST episode in the history of this amazing show?

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better they pull this one out of their hat. What was so good about it you ask -

1. Armando drove off when the intern incessantly answered his cell phone. I was in heaven. How many times did I want to do that but he actually did it!

2. Making Chris chase the peacocks. Armondo didn’t only put his finger on the root of the problem, he illustrated what it leads to -running in circles going absolutely no where. Leaving Chris to gather pretty and pointless feathers as a lasting monument to the complete lack of results – where his life was headed.

3. Giving Chris an impossible job . Simply brilliant. These kids NEED to be jarred out of their complacent, entitlement saturated world into the real world where everyone does not get a trophy when you lose.

4. Chris accomplishes the impossible. Chris, you amazed me man. I did NOT have any faith in you and thought Armando’s belief in you was completely misplaced and you stepped up and redeemed yourself and your whole generation. It demonstrated how truly remarkable human ingenuity is when forced to do the impossible.

5. Screwing Sergio. It was pure love from Armando and David to find Sergio’s breaking point. Everyone that can stand to stick by the Montelongo’s become better for it and props again have to be given to Armando for having the courage to find people’s limits.

6. Making Over the Intern. Veronica and Melina take the kid from the broken, hopeless sap in the dust pit to a slick investor just in time for the open house. This episode should have been called “Flip This Intern” because far more impressive than the change done on the house was the change in Chris’s life that was clearly a lasting one.

I would love to show this epidsode to every coach, teacher, youth pastor etc. to illustrate how to handle the idealistic, lost and lazy kids we have produced by the millions in recent years. They can be flipped but it takes a firm hand and the courage to love them more than your selfish desire to be liked by them.
