Show Guide: 'The Flip Off'

Synopsis: Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack built a home-flipping empire and top HGTV series with Flip or Flop—but it all came crashing down after their much-publicized divorce. Now, Tarek and Christina are back in the network’s new highly anticipated series The Flip Off, a throwdown competition which premieres Wednesday, Jan. 29, at 8 p.m. ET/PT to see which ex can find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain, earning the chance at ultimate bragging rights and a first-class vacation paid for by the loser.

With nearly 1,000 flips to his credit, real estate expert Tarek runs a successful flipping business with his new wife and on-screen partner, luxury real estate agent Heather Rae El Moussa, while design expert Christina spent a decade flipping homes alongside Tarek and is adept at creating dream homes with high-end style for clients. As The Flip Off begins, Christina will start the competition against Tarek and Heather alongside her husband, but a sudden life change will bring a shocking twist. With even more to prove on her own, Christina will turn to her trusted team, stopping at nothing to silence Tarek’s endless bragging and beat him at his own flipping game.

Across the six-episode flipping battle, the two teams will put their skills and budget to the test as they renovate the kitchen, main suite, living room, guest suite, extra bedroom and exterior of their chosen properties. To raise the stakes each week, the teams will take turns handpicking special guest judges to evaluate the transformed rooms based on design, use of space, quality of work, overall transformation and added value. The notable list of judges will include: Heather Dubrow (The Real Housewives of Orange County); Dominique El Moussa and Laurie Haack (Tarek and Christina’s Moms); Amanza Smith (Selling Sunset); Ant Anstead (Christina’s ex-husband and host of Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic); Izzy Battres (Izzy Does It) and Jeff Lawrence (former Flip or Flop contractor); and Jeff Lewis (Hollywood Houselift, host of Sirius XM’s “Jeff Lewis Live”). And, to further up the ante, the winner of each weekly renovation challenge will win a two-thousand-dollar prize from the losing team to use in the next space. (Courtesy HGTV, 2025)

Tarek will throw down the gauntlet on the soccer field, initiating the competition with Christina. They’ll formulate the rules of the game, beginning with only one week to find and purchase their flip homes. Soon after a tumultuous house hunt, Christina will drop an emotional bombshell on Tarek when she reveals she’s getting divorced and wishes to continue the competition solo. She’ll appeal to Tarek and Heather for more time to complete the kitchen renovations, which will be judged by tastemaker Heather Dubrow, and offer to give them a sneak peek of her property.
