FYI Orders Home-Flipping Show Starring 'Snooki'
FYI is mixing Jersey Shore with home-flipping shows and creating Nicole & Jionni’s Shore Flip, in which Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and her husband, Jionni Lavalle will renovate and try to sell for a profit a home on the New Jersey shore. The A+E Networks outlet -- reprogrammed from Bio to target lifestyle audiences -- has ordered eight one-hour episodes to debut early next year. This will be their first business venture together, the network said, and of course the show will follow them into their home lives, which includes raising two young children.
Polizzi made her fame as part of the volatile crew of 20-somethings in MTV's Jersey Shore. She also combined with Jennifer "Jwoww" Farley on a reality spinoff series, Snooki & Jwoww, also on MTV. The planned series, currently in production, is produced by eOne for FYI.
