99 Words About …The vultures of A&E’s ‘Flipping Vegas’
The most slap-worthy person on reality TV isn’t a housewife, a Kardashian or a visitor to the Jersey Shore. It’s Scott Yancey of “Flipping Vegas” (noon Saturdays, A&E).
Each week, Yancey threatens, berates and hissy-fits his way to a five- or six-figure profit in just days by rehabbing the picked-clean carcass of a local family’s dream.
Granted, it’s not his fault our economy’s spent more time in the toilet than Lindsay Lohan’s bangs.
But it’s yet another black eye for Vegas.
And the way Yancey unabashedly profits from misery? Maybe for an encore he could flip Jaycee Dugard’s shed.
