The wait is lastly over. After months of intrigue (and fairly a little bit of uncertainty) about how The Flip Off would go down amidst Christina Haack and Josh Corridor’s divorce, the brand new HGTV present has premiered on the 2025 TV schedule. Josh appeared in roughly half of the primary episode, till it was revealed after an argument (and him saying that Christina was “pissing [him] off already”) that they’d break up. In spite of everything that, I’m not shocked that followers had been comfortable to see Josh go, however I’m pleasantly stunned on the appreciation for Christina and Tarek El Moussa.
Halfway by way of the primary episode of The Flip Off — which pit Christina and Josh Corridor towards her first ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his spouse Heather Rae in a house-flipping competitors — Christina requested Tarek to return over, the place she instructed him she and Josh had damaged up after an enormous struggle. This led the Flip or Flop stars to look again at their very own marriage, with each shedding tears and apologizing for previous errors. It was an unexpectedly emotional scene, as one fan stated on X (Twitter):
I’m loving tonight’s episode. The friendship, progress & maturity between Tarek & Christina is gorgeous to see. Their children are very fortunate. If solely all divorced {couples} may behave this fashion & take accountability. Josh isn’t ok for Christina. He’s petty/small. However Christina you should stop beating your self up over your selections. Simply do the most effective you may. [You’re] a tremendous Mom, a superb particular person & an unimaginable designer. You bought this!
Others on social media had been equally not upset to see Josh Corridor go away the present, as extra posts learn:

As depicted in The Flip Off sneak peek, Josh Corridor did come off as overly aggressive towards the El Moussas and fairly insecure. However greater than being relieved that we don’t should endure a complete season of that, I used to be comfortable to see all of the love being proven for Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa. These individuals on Reddit appear to essentially miss Flip or Flop, and I get it! They wrote:

- I used to be stunned at how a lot I appreciated this! I loved seeing the previous footage of their audition tapes and acknowledge their troubled historical past. I used to be shocked that Tarek talked about being reliant on ache meds. They had been weak and I’m trying ahead to the subsequent episodes. – Admirable-Lease-3923
So it appears Josh Corridor is not going to return to The Flip Off, and after a battle over their two kitchen flips has commenced, the competitors advances to the first mattress and loo. We’ll should see if the present continues to supply these unexpectedly candid moments between the previous spouses.
