Flip or Flop Vegas gets renewed
Flip or Flop Vegas, the houseflipping HGTV series starring Bristol and Aubrey Marunde, will live to see a second season. (The sandal-celebrating series Vegas Flip Flops, in the meantime, will remain a figment of my shoe-loving imagination.)
The husband and wife team at the core told Us Weekly they work well together because they respect each other’s area of expertise.
“Aubrey lets me do the construction, and I let her do the design,” said Bristol, who’s also an MMA fighter. Added Aubrey, “We don’t have disagreements. In our relationship, it’s pretty happy!”
In Wednesday’s new episode, Rock and Roll Renovation, the couple tackles a small condo within walking distance of the Las Vegas Strip. Afterward, the repeat episode, Is It a House or a Prison?, focuses on a home that has bars on the windows and doors, and a leaky roof.
The Las Vegas-based show is a spinoff of Flip or Flop, which follows Christina and Tarek El Moussa as they beautify neighbourhoods in California one house at a time. The couple announced they were divorcing last December, but they’ve filmed a seventh season of the show, which is set to air this winter.
Flip or Flop draws about 17 million U.S. viewers per episode; the Vegas edition draws about 12.5 million. HGTV also has four other Flip or Flop spinoffs in the works: they’ll be in Atlanta, Nashville, Texas and Chicago and debut over this year and next.
CUE THE SMILEY FACE!
On Wednesday, the new GSN game show, Emogenius, debuts, putting contestants’ emoji-solving skills to the test: in each episode, two teams of two battle for a chance at $10,000. It’s hosted by Hunter March, who stars in AwesomenessTV’s YouTube series Daily Report and fronts his own YouTube channel. In April, March released the book TBH: 51 True Story Collabs, about the offcamera lives of YouTube stars.
