Flipping Vegas

I hate scripted reality TV and worse planted reviews. Just fix up the house without the fake problems and phony dialogs. Pretending to hide safes, purposely dropping granite counter tops, intentionally screwing up railings and I not talking about cutting the spindles, the constant whining. I will not even get into the Chuck Barris hairdo. What a waste of my time. Can not wait to see this show replaced and to bad I liked Amys taste. There is no way people communicate this way and be successful. One of the worse shows yet. It becomes tiresome to SCRIPT so much negativity and end up with so much profit. As if OMG can you believe I actually made tens of thousands of dollars on that deal I thought I was going to lose money after I berated my wife and hired incompetent people who pretended to screw me yet worked through the night to meet my unrealistic deadline my producer made up to create drama because they think only stupid people watch these shows. I give ya 15 minutes. not a second more.

"We may miss our deadline for the open house!" repeat 748 times per episode.

This show is a minor variation on the old theme of the makeover. Because there's "nothing new under the sun", mining an old genre can be worthwhile. Worthwhile, if well done. This show fails miserably.

Each episode provides sparse details as to the reasoning behind material and structure choices. And practically no background on the neighborhood of the remake houses or the comparable houses in the real estate market. Bottom line: The writers and producers make no effort to provide any useful or interesting background information.

Instead we are subjected to the endless false drama subplot of supposed personal conflict ("I'm going to fire these guys if they don't get it done in time!"). This schlocky subplot revolves around the main focus of the show -- the looming open house date. Puuhhleze. If tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars are at stake, why the constant nail-bitter deadlines? One extra week of principle and interest on these houses is typically only in the hundreds of dollars. But they can't carve out a little of this extra time at minimal cost in order to be certain the proper choices are made and the work it done right? Of course they could. But the producers are stuck in this silly need for constant drama.

The audience are supposed to believe that the company owner is buying these houses without a thorough inspection, doing a quick budget in his head, and then making snap decisions about design and furnishings. And steadily making a handsome profit every single time? Bah.

Lousy show.

HORRID HORRID HORRID acting. I do believe the guy is probably a total douche in real life however. Last episode I watched was a so called fire-damaged home. Except it was a fake fire with something that looked like black spray paint and a burned door which looked like it was paper instead of a door. It was ALMOST as bad as the fake vandalism episode. Whoever does these fake props should be fired. This ass Scott certainly has a strong opinion about how most of the laborers are screwing everything up- maybe he should try a days worth of hard labor along with em? Now THAT would be a show! The first episode I ever watched was this clown Scott having a fake heart attack. The cameras adjusted their tint and actually made his face turn green! Then full camera crew is in the hospital LOL SO SO SO FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first reviewer got it right - 748 complaints about not being ready for the open house. Clearly Yancey is good at his craft since his house and car are a little better than the Las Vegas average. I noticed on tonight's episodes that his results are often overstated...

For "Yancey's Eleven," eleven units in Montova at Lake Las Vegas were purchased by Goliath-City Investments on 01/09/12.

4 Via Centrale, the building in the middle that was focused on most in the episode, has three units - all are still owned by Golaith-City.

21 Via Mantova (parcels 160-14-816-001, -002 and -003) has three units purchased and still owned by Goliath-City.

25 Via Mantova has three units always owned by others.

27 Via Mantova #1 has been owned by others. 27 Via Mantova #2 (160-14- 816-014) was sold by Goliath-City to an individual on 10/18/12. 27 Via Mantova #3 (160-14-816-015) was sold by Goliath-City to an individual on 10/05/12.

29 Via Mantova #1 has been owned by others. 29 Via Mantova #2 (160-14- 816-017) was sold by Goliath-City to an individual's investment trust on 10/12/12. 29 Via Mantova #3 was sold by Goliath-City to a couple on 11/27/12.

Let's review:

• 4 Via Centrale - bought 3, sold 0, owns 3 - 21 Via Mantova - bought 3, sold 0, owns 3 - 25 Via Mantova - bought 0 - 27 Via Mantova - bought 2, sold 2, owns 0 - 29 Via Mantova - bought 2, sold 2, owns 0

(one more unit was purchased - address uncertain)

Goliath-City purchased 11 units in "Yancey's Eleven;" the end of the show highlighted receiving an offer for 5 units and toasting the sale of "8" homes that day. They still own at least 6 of the 11 units.

*****

The Stink House, parcel 125-20-713-087, was purchased by Goliath Investments in October, 2011 and as of today is still listed by the Clark County Assessor as one of Goliath's six properties in the county.

Let's review:

• bought 1, sold 0, owns 1

The end of "Stink House" claimed a "first day offer" with a large projected income. I guess he ended up "renting it to a nurse at the nearby hospital."

The show is now just plain dumb as if Amie's stunts are real. All the show us now us Scott yelling at Amie. Come on really??? I agree with others about all the staged stunts, like the safe in the closet and how each house is carefully trashed/staged before they see it fir the first time. OMG this place is a mess; stripper pole, alien detection computers, mud pit, jeez come on. What's next terrorist house? Illegal alien safe house? I don't know how those two idiots keep a straight face. I swear to grid the 2 Mexicans carrying that granite countertop dropped it on purpose in an episode. Can they at least pay hood extras that could make the drop look like it was accident. It's so staged
