The upcoming HGTV series The Flip Off was announced as a showdown between couples Christina and Josh Hall and Heather Rae and Tarek El Moussa. Lately, however, Christina has been heating up the show with Tarek, her ex-husband, and Heather, his second wife – and without Josh, from whom Christina split.
In an Instagram video Christina and the El Moussas posted together on Friday, August 16, Christina and Heather walk into a cafe and consider the options on the menu. Then Tarek comes up behind them and recommends another drink. “And trust me, I have good taste,” he adds, as Christina and Heather look at them suspiciously.
“I finally got my wife and ex-wife to agree on something…that I actually have good taste,” Tarek wrote in the caption.
In May, the trio posted a video on Instagram of another skit set in the same cafe. In it, Tarek accidentally sits next to Christina, prompting Heather to slap him on the cheek. “Well, I guess that’s confusing!” Tarek says, rubbing his cheek and poking fun at the striking resemblance between Christina and Heather.
And in June, the El Moussas posted an Instagram video showing Heather throwing Tarek into a trash can. “When your husband tells you we’re filming a show with his ex-wife,” the caption read.
HGTV released a promo of all four original Turn off Stars – Josh included – in May, saying the two duos would compete in a “competition to see who can find, buy, renovate and resell a home for the greatest financial gain.”
But Josh filed for divorce from Christina in July, citing irreconcilable differences. After the split, sources reported People The The Flip Off would continue production without Josh, and Christina was spotted filming without him earlier this month, although HGTV has not yet confirmed whether he will still appear on the show, the magazine adds.
