Intern Affairs – Armando Montelongo gets an Intern
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.

I totally disagree. I think the way Armando Montelongo treats his intern and other people around him is disgusting. He is a total sleezebag.

David is a great balance for Armandos’ personality. Without a firm grip on business, people will walk all over you. Things will never get done in time and it will cost you money.
I never see failure as a waste of time rather a lesson learned. A way for you not to do things anymore. The Montelongos has gone thru the trials in life.
It will be best for all business pros to follow the beaten path instead of finding your own way thru the jungle. Life is funny that way. It will present you choices and people with experience will show you what path they chose on their journeys.
I am still in search of success, if these guys were in my neck of the woods, I would be more than glad to go thru the gauntlet and learn from their experiences.

Oh yummy, that intern christopher was pleasure to my eyes.. I want to see him on the tv a whole lot more.
Its a dam shame the way they treated that beautiful young man.. But he needed it, you can have great looks and I bet he has a nice body too but that’s only half of it. A woman wants that and confidence/being able to stand on his own two feet. I believe Mr. Mendoza learned that.. one way or another I believe he has become the man that women want.. Or least the man I want.. Is there any way I can meet him or other cast members on the show? I mean do they all work together? Armando is fat, cheap, dubious. Christopher is sexy. sweet and drop dead gorgeous.. Which one would I pick?

You people who think the Montelongo’s are a wonderful group are IDIOTS. Have you ever heard of the expression “DUMMING DOWN”. It means that TV has gotten so bad that to watch it means you lose a portion of your IQ!
Armando and his “Ditzy” wife are enough to make me PUKE!!
If you consider them to be GOOD PEOPLE, then I’m afraid this country is in for a rough ride. If you aspire to be like the Montelongos, then you’re setting the bar as low as you can get! NO ethics, morals, concern for others…yeah..they’re a wonderful family. Great role models too!
Wake up people, Armando’s using this program for his own benefit! How stupid can you get!!!!!!!!

I think like many of you Armando Montelongo is a good business man, but he is very mean to his workers, I think he takes advangtage of people that need the job and he feels way superior, that people should recieve respect because they are working for very cheap. I know everyone wants cheap labor and if you can get it great, but not just because they need the job you should disrecpect them. Armando if you are reading this, a lot of people respect you because you are a good business man but we think that you should stop being an a*sho*e to your workers and to your wife and sister-in-law, because you also disrespect them from time to time. One day people is going to stop doing business with you, cause people dont like to be treated that way.

These people suck big time. They are a joke to tv. Those women dress like they think they are 19 and probably shop at forever 21! Their fashion sense smells.. really bad. As does thier decorating taste. It is not hard to see that they will have no future in this. Maybe they should go on Telemundo. They like that shit over in Mexico.

To the individual complaining about the way the two women on the show dress, you probably are fat and jealous. You look in the mirror and stare at your double chin and think i will never look like the montelongo ladies. That’s why you are the way you are so why not be happy for the girls they look good.

Armando does not respect the work of others. Period. “Find me a web designer and a photographer for $0.” Seriously, WTF? The man does not care to respect the needs of others in order to make a buck. If that makes a great businessman, count me out.

I remember the episode where Armando was talking about tiger or white sharks and whales. All I could think was I betcha that he thinks of himself as a white shark. Ugh. He comes across as arrogant, but he may take that as a compliment. His brother, David, appears to have more class with regard to his treatment of people. As for Armando’s wife, well, I hope he treats her well. He doesn’t seem to respect women. Perhaps it is just the way that the producers are portraying him (at least I hope that’s it).

I’ve watched the show only a few times and don’t find it very good. There is a home renovation show here in Canada called Holmes on Homes and at least the guy knows what he’s doing. His work crew is superb, the finished product is first class and this particular contractor acutally fixes what’s wrong…unlike the Montelongos who “sugar coat” the properties. I’d hate to buy one of ther renovated homes….what garbage. At least the Trademark team do a nice job of renovating.

Vito replied:
I have to agree with John. I was in Ottawa, Canada recently and had the pleasure of watching a real professional at work on the Holmes on Homes show. His work crew wore hard hats, safety boots, and were true masters at renovation which is not prevalent in the Flip this House series with the Montelongo group.

Yes, Holmes on Homes is a great show. He really knows what he’s doing; however, the episodes I have seen have not shown house flippers, i.e., people who buy, renovate and sell properties. Rather, he helps homeowners fix problems caused by bad or unethical contractors. Does Holmes also do a flipping show?

I do hands on flips and I buy quality, but still for the quality they get “spec type”, numbers still dont work for me, and Hey Armondo, don’t burn the hands that feed you, as long as you have a camera in front of the weak subs, they will aggree to any number thinking to be in the filming, but your carrot is almost gone, and buy your sales numbers you sale a home every 1.6 days………..Ok Hollywood !!!

I think Armando and his brother are very stunning looking men and they do melt my butter. However, I must admit that Armando does need to find another approach with regard to the way he treats people. I think he is starting to forget where he came from. There is nothing wrong with trying to get the job done, however, to demean people is going to far. I work for someone who is just like Armando and I always kept telling myself that what goes around comes around and now I am sitting quietly back watching him go down. Armando better be careful because the same will happen to him. It also appears that Armando exploits his own kind. That part is rather disgusting.
I just hope that Armando learns how to treat people with respect before it’s to late. I’d hate to see him have to go back to living in a garage.
Armando, I’ve watched so much of your show that I think you got me pregnant……LOL…
Love ya baby.

I find her to be a beautiful, sensitive girl who seems to have a wonderful personality. I really like the show and all the people in it. Armando can come off as a bit mean sometimes, but he gets his point across and gets the job done. And if he weren’t that way, he wouldn’t be as successful as he is today.

I think the show is great!!! Armando may be arrogant, but he gets the job done on time and of course he is in it for the PROFIT people, duh. I mean you can all point fingers and throw hissy fits, but in the end the money is in his fat pocket, not yours, he is a bussiness man, he knows what he is doing give the man credit. As for Veronica, she has impecable taste and BACKS up her man. She is beautiful and witty and has a great laugh!!! David is sexy, and compliments his brothers personality because he is more grounded and level headed. Not much to say about Melina, she is cute though!! I am from Texas, and hispanic, and I am very proud of the Montelongos. Guys you ROCK. Just remember that you can’t always make everyone happy or make them like you. And honestly you do not act over the top mean, I’m sure in your shoes I’d definetly try to get the job done in a timely fashion and save as much money as I could. Good luck in all your endevors, may God continue blessing you and your families.

When Will It END!? replied:
I’m actually surprised I just sat here and read the comments left about the Montelongos. It just amazes me how many careless, irresposible ADULTS we have in this world supporting the unfortunate downfall of our society. Sounds trite, I know, but still true.
If you made a comment on how good looking any of the Montelongos are, my only question is why the hell are you even leaving a comment? Oh, wait – I know… because you fit into the category described above. You don’t give a flying **** what is on tv as long as who ever stars in the show looks good to you. Yeah THANK YOU to you and your tv producer counterparts who fill the airways with crap tv and the endless mind-numbing reality shows!
We all know that tv has it’s wired hands deeply embedded into our brains. We know that these shows only PRETEND to be about anything and represent it correctly. How sad that we can’t turn away.
As someone who is about to embark on the flipping journey myself I am most definitely put off by what I have seen of the Montelongos on television. I actually watched to learn something about flipping, to see how someone else does it. In doing so I quickly saw why some people in the industry have such a bad taste in their mouths for flippers after seeing these 4 in action. They are a perfect example of business gone bad. So what if they are successful at what they do – it that the only measurement of good business!?? I think not, I most defintely do not consider it good business if you make lots of money being unscrupulous, disrespectful, and shady! Money is not everything – when the freaking hell are we going to learn that!
In closing – this show is absolutely pointless. Entertaining, yeah if you think any of them are “hot” or you enjoy watching people be generally crappy to others. I get that part, but trying to pass the show off as some form of educational programming for those interested in the flipping industry is complete and total b.s. It’s just ANOTHER show where the producers are having a field day with a cast of dissillusioned, gluttonous characters that make for debatabley “good” television.
We’re going down people, slowly but surely, and don’t think for a second that something as small as a stupid tv show isn’t contributing to it. Look around – do you see us getting smarter, more caring, or concerned for one another? I sure don’t – I see us increasingly becoming more greedy, self-loving, moraless, all-consuming pimps of the world. And the Montelongos are just another set of faces that represent that.

Armando seems to be a twat. Very annoying and insincere.
Listening to him preach about family and perseverance when a problem arises is an exercise in torture.

I just saw the series flip this house and live in San Antonio so I thought it would be nice to see something that involved the city. After finishing the show I thought it was a complete joke. The men came off like jerks and treated their workers with no respect. I really don’t care if they continue like this or not because thats their lives. What does bothers me is that they have to represent our city like this.

I grew up in San Antonio, and I follow the real estate market there very closely. I was surprised to see that SA was featured in “Flip This House”. I get a laugh out of the whole show, because these flippers are total amateurs when it comes to knowing what the heck is going on with a structure. How can anyone start repairs and/or remodels without assessing everything first. (infestations, condemned buildings, etc.) These guys would be even more successful if they would stop and assess before diving in. By not taking the time to do the due diligence work, they come across as very unethical and sooner or later that will lead to their downfall.
The show is entertaining, but like most “reality” shows the only thing missing is the reality. Armando can’t possibly talk to his contractors off camera the way he does on camera, or he’d have a shovel upside the head. He obviously exploits illegal immigrants to hold down his costs, as most contractors do in Texas, and the budget and profit figures are probably the least realistic thing about this reality show, no matter what city is being featured. Most of the costs shown on the show represent material costs, without labor, and most of the time the cost of material isn’t even covered in the budgets I’ve seen.
Folks, please view this show for what it is, entertainment. I truly wish the Montelongos and anyone else with the guts to strike out on their own and carve their own path the very best.

WARNING MAY 2007: I have found out from a friend of mine that Armando is going to be sued by a large number of people who are organizing a class action lawsuit and federal charges against Armando over this product which he advertised as a dvd course WHEN it really is NOT a dvd course whatsoever. It is an audio only course! Do not waste your time sending your money to Armando thinking this is a DVD course, you will be taken by Armando\\’s scheme.
From watching his show everyone should see he is a con artist, now he has taken his scams to the public as well and committing the felony of false advertising, and this time he will not get away with it.
He is going to loose millions of dollars over this suit and mark my word he will not be one of the speakers for the Trump tour coming up. I know of insiders in the Trump organization who have become aware of Armando\\’s falsehoods and very soon Armando will be notified that he will no longer be included in the Trump tour as Trump does not want to be associated with Armando anymore over this.

There is a very simple solution to all you whiners and naysayers..CHANGE THE TV CHANNEL. I, personally, don’t like porn, soft or hard, so I change the channel. Very simple process and much easier on my nerves than watching a show I hate as much as some of you seem to do.
This is a reality TV show and Armando and his family are, more than likely, following the directions of the producer or director My husband was a custom home builder in Texas for many years and has since retired, but I watched him being nice and dealing with the subcontractors and it didn’t work. They would give him a sob story about their electricity about to be turned off so he would give them an advance and he wouldn’t see them again for days until they came off their high or sobered up. I would not have been so nice since it happened over and over again and would always set us back until the good subs would have to work extra hard to get things back on schedule.
Just turn the TV set off and shut up the whining.

Hey!!! What happened. On the June 15, 2007 episode of Flip This House, Armando and Veronica were introduced without their partners, David and Melina.

I put this comment with another website that was putting down the Montelongo family, we love the the Montelong familia:
As far at the Montelongo family goes, they are the only real people on Television. Everyone in America is too scared to even feel, think or act likes a real person. So many Americans in this generation have gone beyond and overboard of being sensitive, politically correct and paranoid!!! It’s called superficial judgmental people; they can’t see beyond or in the future of any outcome but you all get in the way and speak your minds, unwise!! We all might as well give birth to robots instead of humans, that way everyone can program their off-spring to think “one way”. There is no individuality in America and Americans are becoming prey to “being too scared” to even move out of line in being an individual. So many people are running around making like it’s the end of the world if someone isn’t saying the so called right thing and doing the so called correct thing, even doing something REAL, but of course it comes down to one thing….you can’t make everyone happy and don’t die trying but bottom line, the world believes it’s has become so intelligent, yeah right! Without knowledge there is no understanding and without understanding, there is no wisdom to construe criticism upon another, which it wasn’t intended for anyways. People today can see as far what the surface reveals about another person, what does your surface reveal more than what you would like the “inner you” to reveal, more than what meets the eye and more beneficial that would prevent others from mistreating you right? Or I bet allot of you wouldn’t want the inner you to reveal the real you, that is why so many stay on the surface and have knowledge as far as what the surface will say about another person. Wisdom does not judge, man’s intelligence judges others because of a superiority complex they believe they have gained through whatever. So many have no wisdom, understanding and knowledge of realism, it’s all about what the surface entails about a person but nothing beyond that which would make people understand where another person is coming from. The truth is far from what so many believe about the Montelongo family, the truth is that they represent bravery, courage and individuality of being real; Does anyone live according to what’s in their heart or is it what’s in their minds where one spews out garbage, the enemy’s play ground. Jesus gave all the greatest commandment, to love God and to love one another. The Montelongo family isn’t mean, superior or doing anything wrong, that’s not why they are where they are, trust me. The truth lays within God not within the world, I bet so many haven’t gone any further than what the world can teach you, the highest achievement is to seek God and see what entails of what it teaches you. How many can say they know about all of that? So to the many critics that think they know what they are speaking or thinking of others, don’t, your understanding is limited if you’ve gone as far as what the world has offered you in education, seek the highest wisdom called truth.

The intern is not the only actor they hired. The woman who sold Armando the house in the episode where Armando worked on his book is also an actor, and was in the show from last year where they auctioned off a house. Same thing with the women Armando “hired” to entertain the contractors and get them motivated to finish their work.

Pete replied:
OK. Here are responses to a few of these comments.
Dale: Get a grip! This is reality TV, nothing more and it’s certainly not philosophy or religion.
Jamie: Trademark did not “split when they saw that the SA crew was interviewing actors for spots in their show”; Trademark is no longer part of ‘Flip This House’ because of a dispute between Richard Davis and the show’s producers at A&E.
Finally, to all of you:
This show – regardless of which city and crew an episode portrays – is about putting lipstick on a pig. Nothing more. NONE of the crews depicted perform adequate due diligence before buying a property. If the person making the deals had some basic construction knowledge or was willing to take time to consult someone who does, none of them would have the seemingly continual cost overruns each experiences.
Yes, some crews show more integrity and ethics in addressing unforeseen problems than others do. On the whole, however, every crew seems to want the contractors who actually do the work to take a financial hit for the mistakes the crew makes.
Every one of these flippers needs to spend more time performing due diligence on the properties they purchase. Perhaps, if they weren’t always facing cost overruns due to “unforeseen” remedial work, each crew might treat its contractors and workers better…..but, I doubt it.

This Armando is a total moron. Why anyone with a brain would follow him is unreal. He shows the worst of the construction industry. Putting out substandard work and giving potential lawsuit plaintiffs the ammunition they need to whip his butt in court when the shoddy repairs fail. The last episode I saw shows him buying a home that he personally walked through with the floors at the worst point 8″ off level. What kind of idiot is he? He proclaims how knowledgeable he is and buys crap. Then he is surprised when the foundation is cracked and the house needs to be jacked up and re-leveled.

IMHO this guy is a real scumbag, con artist and all around rude human being.
I’ve read that he is being sued over the “DVD Training Course” set that he is selling for $997.00 that turns out to only be a worthless Audio Recording and in no way a DVD Training Course. The Feds are also considering filing charges. Read all about it at www flipthislawsuit dot com. That is NOT MY WEBSITE but it contains a lot of enlightening information about this person and it’s where I read about the lawsuit and federal investigation – whether it is all true will have to be determined over time.

The show is what it is. Eat the meat and spit out the bones. From time to time they have good info on different products that can be used to beautify anyone’s home. Right now I’m looking for the web site for the company that the show used to finish the driveway on the cottage house that the intern worked on. Does anyone remember the name? Happy remodeling!!

You people are amazing. You don’t have to watch the show. Contractors will screw you over the first chance they get and Armando is getting the “Pay back” Thank you Armando for that. I think the show is great and I have spoke to Armando a few times through email. As busy as he is, he always gets back to me. I am sitting here and reading all the comments. You all are upset, probably because you cannot do what it takes to be as sucessfull as the Montelongos are. Take it and see it for what it really is. They are on TV, not you. They must be doing something right. Dont cast stones, maybe learn from it.

I am a 53 year old female of mexican decent with 4 older brothers. My father was of mexican decent and my mother was a Texan and also of mexican decent. My father brought us all up north to nothern Illinois for a better life for his children and it has payed off. for us. My parents passed away in their early 50’s back in the early 60’s My dad would be appalled at Armondo’s behavier, especially at the teatment of his workers, since my dad has done manual labor all his life. I think that the only one with commen sense and integrety is his brother. There’s still hope for him to change and become a better person. We can only hope. I still wish them well and GOD Bless.
