Mild spoilers forward for the collection premiere of The Flip Off.
The Flip or Flop franchise simply will not give up, with exes Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa reuniting on HGTV for an intense competitors present within the 2025 TV schedule. In The Flip Off, the HGTV icons and former spouses face off to see who can discover and flip a home for the largest monetary achieve. With Tarek teaming up with spouse Heather Rae El Moussa and Christina powering by her break up from husband Josh Corridor, all people should take each benefit they will get. And for Christina, the less guidelines the higher!
Talking with CinemaBlend for the brand new present’s press junket, all three stars opened up about guidelines (or lack thereof) in The Flip Off, with some wildly completely different takes. It was clear from the very first episode – during which Haack did not let rigidity along with her husband after which an imminent divorce knock her out of the sport – that none of them are messing round about profitable bragging rights (and a trip paid for by the opposite facet).
I spoke with all three on the similar time for an interview forward of the premiere, they usually weighed in on whether or not they’d be sticking to a algorithm or rolling with the punches. Promoting Sundown alum Heather Rae El Moussa shortly chimed in to say about Christina Haack that “She hates guidelines!” The exes then continued on the subject, saying:
- Christina: “I hate guidelines.”
- Tarek: “Her solely rule is there are not any guidelines, which is difficult in a contest when it’s a must to comply with guidelines.”
- Christina: In case your guidelines are something that involves your thoughts, it offers you benefit!
Tarek went on to poke enjoyable at Christina with some references to the collection premiere on January 29, saying “Okay, kitchen!” and “Excuse me, ‘transformation'” in response to her feedback, whereas she steered that it is all in service of “Wow issue.”
For her half, Heather Rae El Moussa elaborated on why there actually wasn’t a strict format to the present:
This present, as a result of it is a Season 1, it was type of like determine it out as you go. So we had some floor guidelines, however alongside the best way, we type of needed to determine issues out, and we might provide you with some guidelines, and she or he’d be like, ‘No, I do not need that,’ and vice versa… You may understand why we’re speaking about this as you watch the season go on.
It is value noting that the banter between the three Flip Off stars was clearly all in good enjoyable, with Heather Rae El Moussa saying that they “had plenty of enjoyable with all three of us collectively” on the present “particularly after Josh was out of the image.”
Followers who tuned in to the premiere could have observed that the tone actually lightened up as soon as Christina constructed her personal crew after her husband left the present, which wasn’t too stunning after a clip of Josh getting mad at Christina that launched forward of the primary episode.
Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa received the primary problem of The Flip when it got here to kitchen renovations, however there are nonetheless 5 episodes left earlier than the ultimate reveal of whether or not they or Christina Haack triumphs within the first season. Preserve tuning in to HGTV on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET for brand new episodes of The Flip Off and see which half of the previous Flip or Flop duo you are rooting for!
