Christina Haack made a bold move on The Flip Off, enlisting her ex-husband, Ant Anstead, to judge a renovation challenge against Tarek El Moussa (her other ex-husband) and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa. The result? A tie, a controversial win for Christina, and plenty of drama. The show airs on Wednesdays, at 8/7c, on HGTV.
Here’s the Lowdown: Ant Anstead judged the guest bedroom/bathroom renovations. He awarded points to Tarek and Heather for quality and transformation, and to Christina for space and “wow factor.” Overall design was a tie. Crucially, Ant refused to score the “added value” category, saying it was unfair before the houses sold.
What This Means Now: Despite the tie, Ant declared Christina the winner, citing their shared history and the importance of supporting the mother of his child, Hudson. He admitted he was “swayed” by family loyalty, revealing Christina had “already won” before he even saw the renovations.
The Bigger Picture: Ant’s decision left Tarek unimpressed, leaving the overall competition at a 2-2 tie. The ultimate winner of The Flip Off will now be determined by which house achieves a higher return on investment (ROI). Ant privately told Christina that Tarek and Heather’s house was superior. The question remains – was the judging fair?
