Is the opposite of "real estate" "false estate"?

A&E's "Flip This House" has landed in another imbroglio: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070601/ap_en_tv/house_flipper_investigation

That show is just a magnet for trouble. A&E has already recast its Atlanta flip crew (and what does that mean, are these real business people or just TV actors?), and says on its Web site that it won't rebroadcast any of the episodes with Sam Leccima.

Meanwhile, has anyone watched the original "Flip This House" crew on their new show, "The Real Deal"? I've been meaning to check it out, but keep forgetting. Richard C. Davis and company were a little sleazy at times, but they were not, as far as I know, actual crooks. Plus, they made great TV.
