Soapy Goddess January 30 Share January 30 (edited) Not sure if we can discuss this show under current topic or create its own topic. Regardless, did anyone catch this show tonight? Christina can be a handful, but Josh has some major anger issues. Edited January 30 by Soapy Goddess 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/
GeorgiaRai January 31 Share January 31 It all may be equally fake, but I appreciated what seemed like an authentic moment between Christina & Tarek. I hope they cut down on the scripted smack talk. I think they're all on good terms now, so maybe they'll make the show a friendly competition (not a rivalry) focused on the building/design aspects. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8568370
Chris Knight January 31 Share January 31 Josh is such a hanger-on. Tarek looks very different. He's lost weight, and maybe had a little work done. His jaw seems weird. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8568443

I'm betting the tabloid reports about Heather and Christina having an argument at the kid's soccer game was the filmed discussion that they showed last night. It was all staged. I'm so glad we've seen the last of Josh. I never liked him, and glad he's gone. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8568483
Jeanne222 January 31 Share January 31 I liked this new show! Maybe they have come up with something that will work for them! I hope Christina is not involved with another man. She needs to give herself a break. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8568529
Badsamaritan February 4 Share February 4 Full disclosure up top: I'm only watching this for the messy soap opera dynamics, I have no dog in this fight whatsoever. Now on to the show.....I did like the discussion between Christina and Tarek when she was telling him about breaking up with Josh. And for the messy - my eyes still saw a lot of sparks between the two. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference, and neither is indifferent to the other. I don't know if it was for filming sake's but, Tarek did move closer to Christina on the couch as they were talking. I was waiting for him to hug her when she started crying, and it really looked like he wanted to. Heather is an empty vessel to me. I look at her and think of that meme 'Ho, why is you here?' 🤷🏽♀️ It looks like Tarek has had some tightening done to his face. I don't like it, makes him look plastic. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8572030

I believe that after their divorce they made a commitment to treat each other with love & respect for the sake of their children, and I applaud that. Tarek isn't heartless, so of course he's going to comfort the mother of his children. Apparently Josh was/has been verbally abusive during their marriage, so I'm sure Christina appreciated Tarek's understanding and comfort. It's nice to see a loving, but cordial relationship that still exists between the two of them. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8572716

I think Tarek and Heather really love each other, but Tarek will always have a bond with Christina as the mother of his first children. I don't want to see any home-wrecking drama, not with this trio. The kids have been through enough. And I like Heather from her Selling Sunset days. Genuinely kind and drama-free, although I never saw her sell a house. (But that's another story). 2 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8574382
CrazyInAlabama February 7 Share February 7 (edited) I didn't like Christina's main bedroom redo last night. The lights looked like a butt crack with a light bulb in it, then they showed it was a triple butt crack light. The bedroom is so tiny. Too many patterns and different materials in the room. If that was a house I could afford, I would pass on it, bedroom is small, and badly decorated with items like the tile that would be very expensive to change.

CrazyInAlabama February 10 Share February 10 (edited) Making a Deal With the Ex, S01.E03 New, 2/12/2025 Living room challenge. I liked Christina's living room so much better and I'm glad it won. Tarek & Heather's room was unfinished, and sloppy, and I agree with the criticisms the judge had. The spot above the cabinet where the built ins were suppposed to go was horrible. The odd corner light was terribly out of place. It would have looked better without that light.

Agreed but I felt a little bad when Tarek was complaining about the light and eating area, during the judging. He knows Heather is insecure about designing in general and esp when in competition with his ex-wife who has been designing for years. Tarek should not have said what he said in front of the others.

Mollywolly555 Tuesday at 03:03 AM Share Tuesday at 03:03 AM I thought both rooms were bland. Not liking the competition. Cristina is coming off as a dishonest, and Tarek as extremely insecure. I like Heather. She and Cristina are both beautiful women. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8584189

For their regular flips, I think they're all shopping the clearance section at whatever tile and finishes store they use, and it's all coming from their warehouse of bulk buys. I'm sure Christina has a similar stock of finishes. And as Soapy Goddess said, for the show the tile was donated for publicity, and they didn't have choices. I found Ant's reason for picking Christina to win was pathetic. I think it was just to even up the number of wins, and it's all a storyline.

The spot above the cabinet where the built ins were suppposed to go was horrible. The odd corner light was terribly out of place. It would have looked better without that light. Agreed. The light and table were just awkward in that corner, but she was determined to use that light somewhere there when she should've saved it to use in another room if she loved it that much. I thought it was dopey looking light. She should've put either a cool floor lamp or an indoor tree in that corner. In this latest episode/challenge, I'm glad Ant finally pointed out how weird it is that Tarek basically married a Christina clone in looks and style and tastes, although Heather seems a lot nicer than Christina. It was also good to hear that Ant and Christina were able to make amends and become good co-parents. I didn't know Christina never gave Tarek a heads up about her marrying Ant. That was dirty. Although I didn't like Ant's reasoning for picking Christina to win, I do think her guest bed and bath looked better than Tarek and Heather's. I love wood fluting on the wall, but Heather's just looked random and out of place, and that live edge desk didn't go with the room, either. Heather sure loves the LED light strips. She's used them in every room so far, hasn't she? Another note, anyone else get the impression that Christina's new contractor (Mike?) is hoping to be Christina's next ex-husband?

CrazyInAlabama Yest. at 05:55 PM Share Yest. at 05:55 PM I didn't like the reason Ant gave for picking Christina. That wasn't judging, it was bias. I thought both teen rooms were over the top, and not practical. The live edge in H & T's room looked awful. Christina's room was better than H & T's, but neither one looked like anything but a hotel room, not a family home. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8587445

Mollywolly555 7 hours ago Share 7 hours ago I'm very glad that they are talking about peaceably co-parenting... we need more cooperation and less conflict on tv, particularly related to children. I appreciated Cristina's honesty about her and Ant's long road to get to that point. However, I did not like Cristina's conspiring with her daughter against Tarek. That's a big no no as a parent, divorced or not. Not ok. I feel for Heather trying to grow as a designer. When she showed her parents the last house, her nervousness was palpable. She also referred to her questionable(?) past and hopes that they wd see how far she had come and can be proud of her accomplishments now. I imagine they were less than happy about her marrying Tarek, given his past turbulence after the divorce with Cristina's. He does seem very wired and maybe n need of calming meds and therapy. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151650-the-flip-off/#findComment-8588037
