Light spoilers ahead for the series premiere of "The Flip Off."

The "Flip or Flop" franchise just won't quit, with exes Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa reuniting on HGTV for an intense competition show in the 2025 TV schedule. In "The Flip Off," the HGTV icons and former spouses face off to see who can find and flip a house for the biggest financial gain. With Tarek teaming up with wife Heather Rae El Moussa and Christina powering through her split from husband Josh Hall, everybody will have to take every advantage they can get. And for Christina, the fewer rules the better!

Speaking with CinemaBlend for the new show's press junket, all three stars opened up about rules (or lack thereof) in "The Flip Off," with some wildly different takes. It was clear from the very first episode – in which Haack didn't let tension with her husband and then an imminent divorce knock her out of the game – that none of them are messing around about winning bragging rights (and a vacation paid for by the other side).
