I know this will break your heart, but I expected the final show to end with these two crazy kids realizing they were made for each other and deciding to get back together, but alas...  (hey- if Ben & JLo can make love work the second time around, so can T&C.)

Just think about giving/receiving an escrow deposit to/from the Property Brothers and you will be fine.

I watched the first part of Leslie Jordan's appearance on CELEBRITY IOU, and he was as enjoyable as you'd have expected.  I also watched the first half of Terry Crews' episode.  The highlight was when he and Drew had a shirtless Jackhammering contest.  I think the last time Drew's torso got any sun was in 2012.

They just come across, at least to me, as shady.  That, and nearly all their houses look the same - same colours, tiles, staging, etc.. They’re better than the Bible-thumpers in Waco, but there are better home reno shows, with better looking hosts to watch.

They talked about their evolving style choices as the years went on... and on... and on...

Christina Haack shared a “Self-Care Saturday” post via Instagram over the weekend, which showed her listening to a meditation podcast while receiving photon LED light therapy on her face.

“Been super exhausted lately so [I’m] on a kick to get back into my body. I’ve had some unexplained health stuff for years, and now I’m considering the thought that this could be breast implant related,” Haack, 39, wrote in part.

“Does anyone else have any experience with this subject?” she asked. “I’m curious on all the ladies take on this.”

The HGTV star went on to name her extensive list of health struggles, which includes inflammation, Hashimoto’s disease, Raynaud’s syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, unexplained skin rashes, joint and muscle pain, dry eyes, acid reflux, brain fog, swollen lymph nodes and adrenal fatigue.

“For now just working on detoxing and positive mind set,” she concluded the post.

all this time I thought she was a natural beauty

She reminds me of a glorified stripper. I've lost interest in this show. Prefer Property Brothers.

Christina Haack learned she has mercury and lead poisoning after experiencing “some unexplained health stuff for years.”

The “Flip or Flop” alum revealed on Thursday that her test results might stem from all the years she spent renovating old houses.

“My scan said I have mercury and lead poisoning,” the 39-year-old wrote on her Instagram Story. “Most likely from all the gross houses I’ve been in (all the bad flips).”

The tests also indicated that she has “small intestine bacteria overgrowth.”

“So we are first detoxing all of this through herbs and IVs and then [we’ll] see how I feel and tackle implants,” she continued.

ALL YOUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!

 

More than six years after their divorce was finalized, Flip or Flop hosts Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall are set to reunite for a new HGTV series.

It was announced on Wednesday morning as part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s Upfront presentation to advertisers that El Moussa and Hall will challenge each others’ flipping skills in (heh) The Flip Off.

“Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall built a home-flipping empire and top HGTV series with Flip or Flop. But it all came crashing down after their much-publicized divorce,” reads the official synopsis. “Now, the exes are back — along with their new spouses — for a throwdown competition to see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain, and the chance at bragging rights.”

The Flip Off is on track to launch in early 2025 with a “super-sized premiere.”

Christina Hall on why she did twinning video with ex Tarek El Moussa's wife Heather Rae

Christina Hall is aware of the running joke that her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa has a type — and has used it in her favor.

While promoting the fifth season of her HGTV show "Christina on the Coast," which premiered July 11 and airs new episodes every Thursday, Hall tells TODAY.com about how she, her ex and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, caused a recent stir on social media after they collaborated on an Instagram video.

In the May 14 clip, Hall and Heather Rae El Moussa wear almost identical outfits, then mix up their own names before the camera pans out to Tarek El Moussa, who says, "Well, I guess it is confusing."

Fans flooded the comments with a melting pot of reactions, ranging from calling the stunt "amazing" to "desperate." But two overarching themes in the comments were that the blondes “could be sisters” and that Tarek El Moussa “has a type.”

Little did fans know the attention-grabbing video was intentional ahead of announcing Hall, Tarek El Moussa and both their spouses had an upcoming HGTV show called "The Flip Off."

"We talked about doing something right before (the announcement) aired, just to kind of shock people," Hall explains exclusively to TODAY.com of the joint Instagram production.

"Collaboratively, we're like, 'OK, the thing is, everyone's always saying (Heather and I) look-alike, and (Tarek) has a type.' So we kind of just came up with that together."

Heather Rae El Moussa also spoke with TODAY.com in May about the twinning video and how it makes fun of the real-life comparisons the two women get.

“People have compared her and me ever since I came into Tarek’s life," Heather Rae El Moussa explained. "And I get it — we have similar hair and a similar look. So we were like, ‘Let’s be twins and wear the exact same thing.'"

The former "Selling Sunset" star acknowledges Tarek El Moussa is attracted to blondes, but she tells TODAY.com that she doesn't think them getting together "had anything to do with looking like his ex-wife."

Hall tells TODAY.com in her July interview that the look-alike video "worked" as far as garnering attention and that "people were shocked."

Hall and Tarek El Moussa married in 2009 and found success as the dynamic duo on HGTV's "Flip or Flop" before divorcing in 2018. The former couple shares two kids, daughter Taylor and son Brayden. Hall also shares son Hudson with ex-husband Ant Anstead and is now married to realtor Josh Hall, while Tarek El Moussa shares son Tristan with his now-wife Heather Rae El Moussa.

Over the years, rumors have circulated that Hall, Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa had a challenging dynamic in light of a very public divorce and having a blended family. Heather Rae El Moussa also admitted on Jill Martin's “The New Rules” podcast in November 2022 that there have been "ups and down" when navigating her relationship with Hall. But both women have said that the well-being of their kids has always come first.

"There's just so many stories circulating, or people think, you know, the drama is worse than it is," Hall tells TODAY.com. "The reality is, we're all kind of parenting the kids, and that's our priority."

Hall has also been keeping busy with family in her professional life, which will be seen in the new season of HGTV's "Christina on the Coast." She tells TODAY.com about how in one episode, she helps her parents renovate their dated kitchen.

"It's something that they've asked me to do for a while, but I never agreed because they've always talked about moving, so I thought it was pointless dumping money into it," Hall explains. "I finally decided to do it because their kitchen cabinets were from like 1970 and they were falling over, so it was time."

While Hall said she faced a few "challenges" doing the renovation with her parents, like having different preferences in design, they ultimately "really trusted" her direction.

"My mom literally still texts me in the morning, 'Oh I love my new kitchen,'" Hall says.

I am shocked!  Shocked I tell you!!! 

Christina and Josh are getting a divorce.

She's just going to cycle through all the men in California until she and Tarek finally get back together.

Not a shock. I am surprised it even lasted three years.  She strikes me as a total narcicist . Josh was a fool to even marry her.  

[samhexum]

Christina Hall (née Haack) is keeping the keys to her HGTV kingdom.

The reality star, 41, is reportedly filming her new show, “The Flip Off,” without estranged husband Josh Hall after they filed for divorce from each other this week.

The competition series, announced in May, was supposed to see Haack and Hall, 43, face off with her first husband, Tarek El Moussa, and El Moussa’s current wife, “Selling Sunset” alum Heather Rae El Moussa (née Young).

Christina Hall takes subtle jab at Josh over possibility of ex Ant Anstead replacing him on ‘The Flip Off’ 

I can't believe this... Christina subtle?

[samhexum]

Christina Haack is speaking candidly about filming her soon-to-be-released series The Flip Off with ex Josh Hall.

The HGTV star, 41, told Entertainment Tonight that it had been tough filming her new show — which she stars in with ex Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa — alongside Hall, whom she split from earlier this year.

“When someone is insecure by you and doesn’t like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything,” Haack told the outlet. “I feel like I was not shining as bright, to try to not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to live like that?”

“It was not fun, to be honest,” she added. “I did not enjoy filming with him, so having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way.”

Haack also told ET that if Hall had not left the series early amid their split, it “would have been hard to film."

She also claimed that Hall had some “jealousy” over her ex-husband Tarek 43, with whom she shares kids Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 8.

“[Hall] doesn’t like our dynamic, because Tarek and I have our own dynamic, and some could call it ‘flirty,’ ” the reality star explained. “… For me, it’s like a sibling type of thing.”

Haack also told ET that her breakup from Hall “wasn’t news” to Tarek, as she had been “telling him that things were bad for at least a year,” or “probably 18 months.”

Christina is very immature the way she airs all her dirty laundry in social media.  Classless.  No wonder she’s been divorced a couple times already.  Tarek got wise and saw the light and moved on !  Good for him 🙌👍

[Ali Gator]

Can someone make Christina go away from my television ? I am so tired of that woman and her horrible voice selling Jacuzzis (and I'm tired of the idiot customers who squeal in delight over their new bathroom). 

And why has she done the voice-over featuring the female dentist pushing toothpaste ? Did the dentist have a worse voice than Christina and they thought she needed Christina's voice (it is too obvious that it's a voice-over).

Good God, she sounds awful. Why would a product use her for a voiceover?

You don't understand! She isn't airing dirty laundry. She is being real with her fans! Real annoying, that is.

Christina Haack (formerly Hall) is reminiscing about the fun she's had in the last few weeks.

The Christina on the Coast star, 41, shared a series of photos on Instagram on Sunday, Nov. 24, including one of her sipping on a glass of champagne as she lounges poolside in a black bikini. In another shot, the HGTV host dons a gold swimsuit while she poses with friends. A third shows her smiling on the beach as her hair blows in the wind.

The snaps appear to be from a recent birthday trip for her former neighbor in the last house she lived in with Tarek "great friend," luxury car salesman Jared Merrell who has a pretty wife & four sons he is very active with athletically

Christina Haack and Heather El Moussa Have a ‘Therapy Session’ About Tarek — and It Ends with a Sweet Hug

 

 

Christina Haack and Heather El Moussa are having a heart-to-heart!

The HGTV stars have been having fun acting in spoof videos on social media ahead of their upcoming series, The Flip Off, which also stars Heather’s husband and Christina’s ex, Tarek El Moussa, 43.

In their latest skit, Christina, 41, and Heather, 37, sit down for a “therapy session” at Christina’s Newport Beach home to discuss some of Tarek’s problematic behavior they’ve both experienced over the years. The Instagram Reel was shared jointly by Heather, Tarek and Christina on Monday, Jan. 20.

“So Heather, what brings you in today?” Christina asks.

Heather jokingly responds, “Christina, it’s Tarek. He’s driving me absolutely crazy. I just don’t know what to do at this point. He farts under the covers, and he holds my head under. I can’t deal with it anymore. Did he ever do those things to you?”

The Christina on the Coast star jokes back, “Sometimes he would throw them at me.”

“He does that to me too. Every single day, I don’t know what personality I’m going to get," Heather says. "He yells at me, and then everything’s fine two minutes later."

After Heather says that “it’s been almost six years of this” and Tarek has only gotten “15% better,” Christina tries to console her by looking at the situation in a more positive light.

“Look at what the next six years would be. Another, I would say, 30% better,” she says, followed by Heather asking, “Can I last that long, Christina? You lasted what, nine years, was it?”

Christina responds, “Yeah, but I will tell you this – the grass isn’t greener on the other side. So look, he’s gotten 15% better, so there’s probably another 30%. By the time that you’re 60, he’s going to be really nice. There’s hope.”

She continues to reflect: “I feel like all men are big kids, though. I mean, I had the cargo shorts, stinky sandal version,” and Heather chimes in, “In the same black shirt every day?”

Tarek then bursts into the room, startling Christina. Heather tells her husband, “We’re having a therapy session. About you.”

“I told Heather to stick it out,” Christina notes to her ex, before telling Heather, “You got this girl.” The skit ends with Christina giving Heather a big hug as she warns Tarek to “behave.”

The trio’s most recent skit comes nearly a week before the premiere of their HGTV series, The Flip Off, out Wednesday, Jan. 29. The house flipping showdown will follow Heather and Tarek as they compete together against Christina and her “trusted team,” according to the network.

This is the first time Christina, Tarek and Heather are starring in a show together. Christina and Tarek previously co-hosted their show, Flip or Flop, which ended in March 2022. The pair — who share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9, together — continued to film the series for several seasons even after their dramatic 2016 split.

While Heather and Christina didn’t always get along, the pair have since made amends and now consider each other friends. Christina told PEOPLE in July 2024 that she and Heather have been “close for a while now” and that she thinks "she's an amazing stepmom.”

The Flip Off was originally supposed to star Christina’s estranged husband Josh Hall as her partner before their July 2024 split. While HGTV hasn’t addressed how involved Hall will be in the show post-split, they did remove him from new promotional photos for the series that were released in December 2024.

The Flip Off premieres Wednesday, Jan. 29 on HGTV.

Christina makes out in public with new beau as divorce battle with Josh continues

The new couple was spotted packing on the PDA outside of Los Angeles restaurant Baltaire on Thursday.

and the beat goes on...

[samhexum]

I'm halfway through the first episode of the flip off. I am worried. There seems to be some tension between Christina and Josh. I'm sure I'm just imagining it, but like I said, there seems to be some tension…

I am caught up.

I feel complete.

• Christina Hall passionately kisses new boyfriend Christopher Larocca at Eiffel Tower in Paris: ‘Life is good’

• “2025 so far,” Hall captioned the photo dump. “Champagne in France, The Flip Off premiere, blended family thriving, amazing trips from coast to coast, positive vibes only … life is good …”

• Did y'all get your wedding invitations yet?

[samhexum]

I'll give her credit for one thing...

Christina doesn't let divorce ruin her relationships with her in-laws.  She's vacationed with Tarek's mom and the kids, and this week we found out that his sister still cuts her hair.

Her relationship with Ant improved after she split with Josh, and he was the judge this week.
