Let the games begin. Or, rather, let the thinly veiled passive-aggression continue. HGTV’s “The Flip Off” returns, and this time, the stakes are higher than a poorly installed kitchen backsplash. Tarek and Heather are set to face off against none other than Tarek’s ex-wife, Christina, in a living room flip-off of epic proportions.
While the premise alone could fuel an entire season of petty squabbles and pointed remarks, the real drama unfolds when Tarek and Heather encounter unforeseen obstacles. Will their carefully curated design plans crumble under the pressure? Oh, honey, they most certainly will. And when their perfectly staged vision starts to look more like a demolition derby, the duo is forced to consider the unthinkable: striking a deal with the ever-so-slightly smug Christina.
But don’t think Christina’s about to hand out favors like she’s Oprah. She has her own agenda, and she’s not afraid to use it. This episode focuses on the art of the deal, the kind brokered not with handshakes and smiles but with gritted teeth and the silent calculation of future Instagram digs. It’s a high-stakes game of real estate roulette, where the only thing more unpredictable than the housing market is the volatile chemistry of divorced couples forced to collaborate. Can these three navigate the complicated dance of business and personal history without burning the whole house down? Tune in to find out.
“The Flip Off” airs Wednesday, February 12, 2025, on HGTV.
