00:00Previously on the flip-off.
00:02You act like I've never flipped a freaking house.
00:03You show some respect for your older children's mom.
00:08I will flip a house against you anytime, anywhere.
00:10It doesn't matter, and you will never beat me.
00:12OK. Game on.
00:13Me and Josh versus you two.
00:15And the winner, simple.
00:16Highest return on investment.
00:17And what do we win?
00:18Vacation?
00:19Family vacation?
00:20Yes.
00:21This is our house.
00:22We don't have another option.
00:25I like this.
00:26You walk right into a nice, big room.
00:27Is this the house for us?
00:29Yes.
00:32I don't like this competition.
00:33It has me all messed up.
00:35Are you going to let your ex-wife beat you?
00:37We can't do the audition.
00:39Don't get frustrated.
00:40Remember, you're a hall now.
00:41Don't get confused in this competition
00:43about what your last name is.
00:47Josh and I officially split up.
00:49Things with Josh have been bad for a long time.
00:51You make him very insecure.
00:53What do you think about us competing on this house flip?
00:56You still want to do it?
00:57Yes, I'm still going to do it.
00:59Tarek probably is more worried about his
01:01being prettier than mine.
01:02What I'm worried about is outflipping him.
01:04And that's it.
01:05I want the look.
01:06I just gave you the look.
01:07You don't know the look.
01:09Who's the judge?
01:10Heather Dubrow.
01:11Whoever the judge picks gets $2,000 towards something
01:14in the next space.
01:17I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.
01:18I am going to give the kitchen win to Tarek and Heather.
01:22Oh, my god.
01:24But if I were judging the ROI today,
01:28I think it would go to Christina.
01:30Oh, my god.
01:31Oh, my god.
01:33Oh, my god.
01:35Oh, my god.
01:36Oh, my god.
01:37Oh, my god.
01:38Oh, my god.
01:39Oh, my god.
01:39Oh, my god.
01:40Oh, my god.
01:41Oh, my god.
01:42Oh, my god.
01:43Oh, my god.
01:44Hi.
01:45Hi.
01:46How are you?
01:47How's it going?
01:48Good. How are you?
01:49You cry yourself to sleep last night?
01:50I'm so annoyed.
01:51OK, let's talk about what room is next.
01:54Primary and primary bathroom.
01:56Perfect.
01:56Both, not just the room, not just the bathroom.
01:59So you can't show up and say, well,
02:00the bathroom wasn't included.
02:02Guys, I was not the one that made that rule.
02:04The bathroom wasn't? Who did?
02:05Your judge.
02:06We will not be judging your formal dining room space.
02:10That still comes as part of your ROI,
02:13but I feel like it's fair to judge a kitchen to a kitchen.
02:17How many weeks do we have for this room?
02:19Two.
02:20Have you thought out who you want your judge to be?
02:23I haven't decided yet.
02:25Oh, you owe us some money.
02:27No, you get to pick something up to $2,000,
02:30and I'll make it happen.
02:31OK, can you give us a hint?
02:33Is your partner a man or a woman?
02:35Oh, I'm not telling you who my partner is.
02:36There's a zero shot that's happening.
02:37Now I'm on a mission.
02:39What the heck?
02:40OK.
02:40You're so controlling.
02:41Can we meet?
02:42You can't control it, I do.
02:43You're not getting to control this household.
02:45Christina's using the word controlling just
02:47to get under my skin, because she
02:49knows I don't like the word.
02:50If I was controlling, why is it that every time in the past,
02:54Christina and I would work together
02:55and we'd have a dispute over something,
02:57it would always go her way?
02:58So controlling, don't think so.
03:00But either way, she's never going to beat me.
03:03All right, we're out of here.
03:04OK, bye.
03:05By the way, if you're really upset about losing,
03:06I can send you some counselors.
03:09I have some tricks up my sleeve to win the primary challenge.
03:13Hello?
03:14Hi, how are you?
03:15We have to win, so I have a plan.
03:18I'm going to bring in two judges,
03:20and one is going to be my mom, and the other
03:24is going to be Tarek's mom.
03:26Hold on, I'm confused.
03:27Do you not think Tarek's mom won't side with him?
03:31No, she definitely won't.
03:32We have a very good relationship,
03:34and she even told me not to marry him
03:36and to marry the dog.
03:39For real?
03:40I have a long history with Tarek's mom.
03:42She's traveled with me post-divorce of Tarek,
03:45me and the children.
03:46We talk on the phone.
03:47I definitely feel like I'm her favorite.
03:50I want it to be a blind competition,
03:51so basically, like, they'll get to walk both houses
03:53not knowing whose is whose.
03:55And then, like, I'm not going to say
03:57that his mom's a part of it.
03:59I'm only going to tell them my mom, like right before.
04:01And then when they show up for the judging, both will walk in.
04:04We sway the grandmas, and we win this.
04:11We only have two weeks to create a primary suite.
04:14Luckily, when we originally walked through the house,
04:16we came up with some killer ideas.
04:20This is bedroom one.
04:23Older houses like this, they don't even have a primary.
04:25We have to create one.
04:29You have the big bathroom.
04:31You have this large bedroom.
04:33And we got the pool right here, green pool.
04:36We could do some type of, like, slider here going off to a deck.
04:41Well, this is a big bathroom.
04:42We can make this super nice, though, 20 grand probably.
04:44That's with the bells and whistles, the light-up mirror,
04:47the lit-up shampoo niche.
04:49Instead of lighting in the shampoo niche,
04:51lighting going all the way from ceiling down to the floor.
04:55In the tiles?
04:56Yes.
04:56Oh, I like that.
05:00You kind of have this little private hallway.
05:03If we close that off and create it
05:04like a whole suite over here.
05:06I may have lost the design in the kitchen,
05:09but I excel in the primary, so I am not worried at all.
05:12Yes, she does.
05:13And it just motivates me even more to kick her butt.
05:15Let's go.
05:16Struggle, fix it, hustle.
05:18We need Winnie on the neck.
05:19Oh, the struggle, fix it, hustle.
05:21We need Winnie on the neck.
05:22Oh, the struggle, fix it, hustle.
05:24We need Winnie on the neck.
05:26We're tearing out everything.
05:28We're gutting the bedroom and the bathroom.
05:30Look at me now.
05:32Look what happened.
05:33There's nobody.
05:34Losing is not an option this week.
05:35But like every other room in this flip,
05:37when I walked in with Josh, our primary was a disaster.
05:41This is disgusting.
05:43Oh, my gosh.
05:44Awful.
05:46The good news is there's one large-ish bedroom down here.
05:49The bad news is it'll just need to be burned down.
05:51Let's just keep it real.
05:53So Josh got rid of the trash.
05:55I got rid of Josh.
05:57And my crew took the bedroom and bathroom down to the studs.
06:05And with Josh now out of the picture,
06:06I have a clean slate all around.
06:16Hello.
06:17Well, it still looks like shit in here.
06:18It's a beautiful room.
06:20This one's going to be a little bit of a challenge.
06:23It's so small.
06:24And we still have to put a closet in here.
06:26I know we were going to use Josh's.
06:27He said he had like a cheap guy to lay the flooring,
06:30which that's out.
06:31So you're going to have to hook me up on that price.
06:33I'll take care of you.
06:34And always be leery of any time somebody says cheap.
06:37Yeah, I know.
06:38Yeah, I kind of feel that too.
06:39Those are a lot of flags for me.
06:40Every time I heard that word cheap, I'm like, OK.
06:43I would love to create a powder bathroom.
06:45Is there any way that there's any room for a tiny,
06:49but functional powder bathroom?
06:51We could do like a 3 foot 6, just enough for access.
06:53So my whole ambition and goal with this is to make it bold.
06:59I don't normally do bold on a flip,
07:00because you could be alienating buyers.
07:03But I think in this case, just because it's so small,
07:05like it needs to be like really over the top.
07:07With the moms judging, I want to cater some
07:09of my designs towards them.
07:11First, I'm going to ditch the slider that goes nowhere
07:13and make room for a big closet that
07:14runs the length of the wall.
07:16I need to make up for the loss of light
07:17by adding a transom window that the bed can sit beneath.
07:20My mom loves jewelry.
07:22So I'm thinking some fun lighting
07:24that will keep it glam.
07:25And then I'll cover this room in wallpaper.
07:27It's something that's coming back in style.
07:29And luckily, my mom loves it too.
07:31Since I'm losing part of the bathroom to a powder bathroom
07:33later on, I need to maximize every single inch
07:36of usable space in the room.
07:38A double vanity with wall-mounted faucets
07:40will maximize counter space, and it's going
07:41to showcase a high-end look.
07:43Glazed square shower tiles and brass fixtures
07:45are going to be modern, yet grandma chic.
07:48I have to beat Tarek and Heather.
07:50I'm hoping a budget of $60,000 can help me do that.
07:53We need to win this one.
07:55You're always winning in my world.
07:57You want to go grab a drink and pretend like we're together
07:58and give the paparazzi something to shoot at?
07:59I would love to do that.
08:00Let's go.
08:04OK, here we go.
08:06Could we put a slider here and make this a sitting area,
08:09like right off the primary?
08:10But we could just keep windows instead.
08:12This house is coming out so, like, so nice.
08:15Maybe we're going to end up just selling it
08:17for more than we're thinking.
08:18I mean.
08:19Or we're overbuilding it for this neighborhood,
08:21and we're going to get no offers.
08:22I mean, we don't know.
08:24We spent a lot in the kitchen, but primary spaces
08:27sell a house, but we do need to make sure
08:29that we're not going over budget.
08:31The door is going to cost somewhere between $3,000
08:33and $3,500.
08:34I kind of feel like we have to.
08:35I mean, all glass, brand new pool,
08:37waterfalls going, new landscaping.
08:40It would be gorgeous.
08:42Yeah, we're going to do it.
08:43All right, let's do it, Bri.
08:44We want to transform this dated bedroom
08:47into a sanctuary of zen by closing
08:49off the corner of the house to establish
08:51a proper primary suite.
08:53We're thinking that sliding glass doors leading out
08:55to the pool will give the bedroom a resort feel,
08:58while muted texture wallpaper, custom oak wall panels,
09:01and brass sconces will add a luxurious atmosphere.
09:05In the bathroom, we want to continue
09:07our vacation vibes with a skylight
09:08above the spacious glass-enclosed shower,
09:11anchored by a teak shower pan.
09:13Maybe a floating vanity with sink-to-ceiling tiles
09:16will keep things clean and crisp,
09:18while hidden LED lighting and touchless automatic faucets
09:21will balance our natural materials with modern living.
09:24We really need another win, but winning design
09:27is at the top of our list.
09:29A budget of $75,000 should get us both.
09:32Bathroom, did you find anything major in here?
09:35I think they'll speak for themselves
09:36when they check it out.
09:37That doesn't look so good.
09:38No.
09:39Basically, what we had here is a shower that's been leaking
09:41for years and years, and you can see how it basically
09:45has destroyed the whole thing.
09:47Waistlines that might be rusting.
09:49Not a big deal of money, but it's just time.
09:51We have two weeks to finish the primary, Brian.
09:53How the hell am I going to get done in two weeks?
10:01How the hell am I going to get done in two weeks?
10:03Oh, that's what I'm thinking.
10:04Like, how are we going to get that done in two weeks?
10:06We can work Saturday, and I'm just
10:07going to have to put in extra hours.
10:08But I can't work any more than 7 to 5.
10:10If we go one day over, even an hour over,
10:12in the next morning, we lose.
10:16Never saw upstairs last time, so this will be interesting.
10:19Oh, well, it has not been remodeled.
10:21Oh, yeah, look, there's the original cabinets
10:23that were downstairs.
10:24Kylie and I renovated the first floor of my parents' home
10:28last year, and we brought our own style into that design.
10:31However, for the primary suite, I
10:33need a guarantee that my mom is going to choose me.
10:36And my parents are out of town this weekend,
10:38so we decided to check out her closet
10:40and come up with a color palette that I know she'll like.
10:43When I step in the room, I'm the best dressed Texan.
10:45I don't let nobody tell me what to do.
10:47Is this a robe or a shirt?
10:49Oh, that looks cute on you.
10:51I mean, everything sort of looks a little bit
10:52like a wallpaper, right?
10:53Very 80s interior design frame of mind, but I'm here for it.
10:57What I do know about Lori is that she likes
10:59a little bit of bold, right?
11:00So if we're playing to Lori, then we've
11:03got to play up our boldness.
11:04I mean, I need you to see something that I pulled.
11:06OK, I'm excited.
11:08No.
11:09Kylie.
11:10I swear, I know.
11:11Like, the second you put that on,
11:13I was like, you've got to be kidding me.
11:14I can see Lori Hawk in this.
11:16Like, checker?
11:17Yeah.
11:18Yeah, that's really pretty.
11:19Shower pan for sure.
11:21Yeah.
11:22We have the white oak cabinets, the beautiful counter,
11:24and of course, the hardware.
11:25Yeah, game over.
11:27I haven't asked Hark's mom yet.
11:28Should I call her?
11:29Yes.
11:30What if she says no?
11:32Hi.
11:33Oh.
11:35Well, that's a surprise.
11:36I have a favor.
11:37OK.
11:38OK.
11:39So you know how your son and I have a competition
11:42against each other, right?
11:45OK.
11:46My mom is going to be a judge, but I
11:47was wondering if you could join her and judge with her.
11:52But what if I like them equally?
11:54Well, you have to pick one, sweetie.
11:56And your mom and I are so different.
11:57She's an engineer, and I'm like a teacher.
12:01That's what makes it more fun.
12:02But you can't tell Tarek that you're one of the judges.
12:06You guys are killing me right now.
12:07It's going to be so fun.
12:09OK, well, if I pick you, you're going
12:11to have to adopt me after, because I'm going to be banned.
12:15OK, you know I take good care of you.
12:17OK.
12:18OK.
12:19OK.
12:20OK.
12:20OK.
12:21OK.
12:22OK.
12:23OK.
12:24Hey, what's up, Brian?
12:25I sent you a video of the sewer line
12:30at the house.
12:31What is this, the camera in the primary bath?
12:33The galvanized pipes are doing what we call taco-ing.
12:37All of that galvanized needs to be ripped out and put
12:41into a new ABS black pipe.
12:43We have an additional cost for the waistline for $3,500
12:47on plumbing.
12:47Damn.
12:49No, it's not just the money.
12:50The thing that scares me is it's going to take some more time.
12:52Can we get another week on that, or what?
12:54No.
12:55No.
12:56If we go with multiple crews, work after hours,
12:58work on the weekends, is there still a chance
13:01we don't finish on time?
13:02There is a chance we'll have your primary maybe completed,
13:07but it's not functional.
13:09Man, $3,500, and we might not hit our deadline.
13:12OK.
13:13Ah.
13:17It's my birthday weekend this weekend.
13:18I don't want to work past Friday.
13:20Just think, Hawaii, me and you.
13:23Tarek surprised me with a birthday trip to Hawaii,
13:25which is so sweet of him.
13:27But we now have this $3,500 plumbing bill,
13:30so I need to simplify my design to speed up work,
13:32save money, and bry insanity.
13:35Urgency, urgency, urgency.
13:40Are you kidding?
13:41$1.99?
13:42What do you mean, am I kidding?
13:43You're going to put dark brown, wood-looking floor
13:45in a spa bathroom?
13:47We're not doing that.
13:48Of course, we want to beat her in the design,
13:50but if Christina really is treating this like a flip,
13:53we don't want to put ourselves at risk
13:54at losing the entire competition,
13:56because that's what really, really matters.
13:57I think I'm changing everything.
13:59What do you mean, you're changing everything?
14:00So originally, I wanted a teak floor in the shower.
14:03So instead of that, remember how we did the pebble floor?
14:07Orange.
14:08Loved it.
14:09Yes.
14:09Saves us a lot of money.
14:11But what are we going to do on the sides of it?
14:12All shower wall, in stock, discount section.
14:16That's actually pretty dope.
14:17And then I had tile going behind the bathroom mirrors.
14:21So if we just do lime wash, that will save us a lot of money.
14:26The good thing is, is we have the extra $2,000
14:29from winning that last challenge.
14:31So I wanted to put like a real dresser in the closet
14:34with a mirror above it, and then really pretty sconce
14:37lighting above it.
14:38Are we just buying a dresser?
14:39Christina's buying the dresser.
14:40Oh, I like that.
14:41And then she could pay for like the lighting,
14:43maybe the sconces, she could pay for the mirror.
14:45I want to win all the challenges.
14:47I hope she's running into problems, too,
14:48because honestly, it's the plumbing problem
14:49is the reason why we can't do the top.
14:51Of course she's running into problems.
14:52Her house was a piece of crap.
14:54I'm in the mood for elevating my mind.
14:58At the house, the crew is installing gas, electricity,
15:03and framing in the windows.
15:07How's it going?
15:11Why the heck is this window so big?
15:13I don't want to see everybody in here.
15:15What's happening?
15:16Well, you and me had discussed installing a transom.
15:18But when we went to design with the architect,
15:20it came back that, hey, per code,
15:22we needed to have an access window.
15:23So that was the minimal size.
15:25Well, this is not good.
15:28This is a bedroom.
15:29There's no privacy.
15:30The view's not good.
15:31The entire design around this bedroom was on that back wall.
15:35Like, I wanted to do a whole feature wall, a headboard,
15:38some wallpaper, like all the things.
15:40This is literally killing our value.
15:42There's got to be another way.
15:43Like, there's something else.
15:45I don't care.
15:46Knock out down the closet.
15:47Like, this just cannot happen.
15:52I'll reach out to the architect.
15:53And we'll see if I can't get a second option on flanking
15:57windows on the side of the bed.
15:59I mean, anything other than this, pretty much.
16:02I feel like the bathroom feels really small.
16:04I know the powder bath is important.
16:06But this feels tiny.
16:09I thought that adding the powder bathroom would make it
16:12a little bit more comfortable.
16:13But I don't think it's going to be.
16:15I don't think it's going to be.
16:16I don't think it's going to be.
16:17I don't think it's going to be.
16:18I don't think it's going to be.
16:20I don't think it's going to be.
16:21Adding the powder bathroom was a no-brainer to up the ROI
16:25of this entire project.
16:27However, now that I'm seeing how small it's
16:30made this en suite feel, I'm worried
16:33that I'm going to lose the entire primary challenge.
16:36I mean, I thought that I was working in a small kitchen
16:38and thought I had to crush the design of the kitchen.
16:40But this is like, this is way worse.
16:46While Brian works on replacing the pipes,
16:48the crew is rushing to finish the framing
16:51of the wall in the bedroom and bathroom,
16:53building out our window frame and shower.
16:58Unfortunately, I had to buy a dresser for Tarek and Heather
17:01because I lost the last challenge.
17:03But I have a trick up my sleeve.
17:05Master contractor, Izzy Batras.
17:08I've worked with Izzy for over a decade.
17:10And showing up at Tarek's house, he's going to think
17:12that Izzy is my new partner.
17:14I just love getting in Tarek's head and messing with him.
17:16And I think Izzy's definitely along for the ride.
17:18All right, you ready?
17:19I can do anything for you, girl.
17:20Brother from another brother.
17:22That's right.
17:23You've been with me through three divorces,
17:25different baby daddies.
17:28So what's up?
17:29What are we doing here?
17:30So basically, Tarek and Heather won the kitchen challenge.
17:33So they get to pick something up to $2,000, which is
17:38this dresser and this mirror.
17:39Yeah.
17:40And we have to bring it to them.
17:42So I figured, we'll mess with them.
17:44You dropping it off with me is going
17:45to look like you're my partner.
17:46Just throw him off his game.
17:48That's like literally my strategy.
17:49Oh, OK. All right.
17:50Right?
17:51So I mean, you work with Tarek and Heather.
17:54Does Heather typically stay on budget?
17:55No.
17:56Oh, that's a hard no.
17:57It was, but honey, I really like this.
18:00When I was married to him, honey, I really like this.
18:03But I got two middle fingers in my face.
18:04So I've done their house, too.
18:05I've done their personal house.
18:06Yeah.
18:07And she has a specific taste that I
18:13felt was not suited for the architectural of the house.
18:18I agree.
18:19Like, it's kind of like mid-century,
18:21but like a touch of like, not glam, but like.
18:25It's not the ornate glam, but it is there.
18:28And it took a long time to get decisions.
18:32All right.
18:33You're going to the front door.
18:34I'll hide.
18:35And then when the time's right, I'll jump out.
18:40I feel like I'm committing a crime.
18:42Just in case they're in the family room,
18:44I'm going to duck down for you.
18:51Hi.
18:51What's up?
18:52Are you here to fix this?
18:54Nope, he's not here to fix that.
18:56Oh my god, is that Christina's voice?
18:58What are you here to do?
18:59We're here to drop off something.
19:00Dude, is that your new partner?
19:01Bro.
19:02Wow, you're going down.
19:03Bro.
19:04Traitor.
19:05You're going down.
19:06I know where you live.
19:07I know where you work.
19:08I know everything.
19:09I know everything about you.
19:10Let me slam this door.
19:12Ever since Christina split with Josh,
19:13she's been taunting us on who her new partner is.
19:17Hello?
19:17What's up, second place?
19:18I think we're in first.
19:19Who's that in the back talking smack?
19:21It's her new partner in crime.
19:23Who is that?
19:25What's going on?
19:25We got your dresser.
19:26Oh, is that?
19:27OK.
19:28OK.
19:28It's our furniture.
19:29All right, so I just want my hair.
19:31OK, hi, how are you?
19:32What's up?
19:33Tarek's so competitive.
19:35Like, getting in his head just, like,
19:36messes with, like, his entire day.
19:38I don't have a partner, which to me
19:40is great, because no one is there to boss me around
19:43or tell me what to do.
19:45You need some help, Izzy?
19:46I do need help.
19:47Oh, it's just like the band's back together.
19:50Get out of my bushes.
19:50I'll call the police.
19:51Those aren't our bushes.
19:52Those are my bushes.
19:53Are you a little feisty right now?
19:54I thought you guys teamed up to flip the house against us.
19:56How do you know we didn't?
19:57All I know is my ex-wife keeps showing up
19:58in my house a lot lately.
20:01Bye, guys.
20:01Bye.
20:02All right, see you later, second place.
20:04That was good.
20:06I have a really bad feeling that Israel's her partner.
20:08That's really bad, too, because, listen,
20:09he has his own construction company.
20:11Like, he's going to get stuff done cheaper and faster.
20:13But you know what?
20:14She's also calculating.
20:15She's doing this to mess with us, and it's working.
20:18It's working.
20:18She's so evil.
20:20Welcome to the red zone.
20:21Let it all out, let my hair long.
20:23Going for the winning route where I belong.
20:25Skidded, take a chance, now you're dead wrong.
20:26You're the red zone.
20:27Drywall is going up.
20:28The crew is framing out the closet.
20:30And best of all, Michael was able to get us
20:33approval on smaller windows.
20:34We'll give the primer a few days to dry,
20:36and then we can start hanging the wallpaper.
20:39Great news.
20:41Brian replaced those pipes in record time,
20:44and they're laying tile in the shower, on the floor,
20:47and installing our custom vanity.
20:49In the bedroom, the crew is building a custom closet
20:52and built-in, which will feature our show-stopping dresser
20:54that we bought with our advantage winnings.
21:03Oh, I love the stone.
21:05Oh, that's gorgeous.
21:07Oh, look at it.
21:08They fixed the plumbing.
21:09There's the dresser she bought us.
21:12It's very janky.
21:14Was she going to have to swap me?
21:15What is this thing?
21:16No, I picked it, but I chose online.
21:18This is supposed to be like a custom art
21:19piece in this room.
21:20I did not think it was going to look this janky.
21:22This isn't going to make us win, honey.
21:24I'm really upset, because now we threw away
21:26our advantage on this piece of furniture
21:28that looks like crap in person.
21:29One thing can throw us off, and one thing can make us lose.
21:32And losing to design again would suck.
21:35So what do you want to do then?
21:37Move it over here.
21:38Just use it as a dresser.
21:40And then here, we have to make it feel a little more custom.
21:44So why don't we do like floating shelves in here,
21:46and then we put a sconce up here still.
21:47Hey, what's going on?
21:51Would you like to know who the judge is?
21:54Yes, we want to know who the judge is.
21:56Any guesses?
21:57Your mom.
21:58Good guess.
22:00You are correct.
22:00Your mom?
22:01Yeah.
22:02Hey, your mom better play fair, though.
22:04OK, so it's going to be blind judging.
22:06I think it's better if we're not there.
22:08And that way, there's zero influence.
22:10I was wondering if she can borrow one of the sprinters.
22:14And that way, we can like pull the shades down.
22:16And that way, she doesn't know where she is.
22:17Yeah, of course.
22:18We lease it out for $3,000 an hour.
22:19Wow, $3,000 an hour?
22:22It's a celebrity van, bro.
22:24Oh my god.
22:26Let's do it.
22:27Team Lori.
22:27Game on.
22:28I love this.
22:29She's going to be great.
22:30Chat later, bye.
22:31Let's think of some special things for Lori.
22:33Pictures of the grandkids.
22:34Pfft.
22:35Pfft.
22:36Pfft.
22:37Pfft.
22:39This bedroom is looking awfully small.
22:42But I like these windows a lot better.
22:44They're letting in natural light without seeing
22:45the whole neighborhood.
22:46We have a big closet.
22:48It's just like, I feel like right when you walk in,
22:50it's going to feel like bed.
22:52My rooms are small.
22:53And I am at a disadvantage.
22:55So it's time to get creative.
22:57I'm going to try to find out where Tariq and Heather's
22:59house is.
23:00But I'm going to do it by a little trickery.
23:02Tariq and Heather already know where my house is.
23:04So this is only leveling the odds.
23:07State College of Jim Pears.
23:09Hi, I was calling to check the status of an order.
23:13I think it's under Heather or Tariq El Moussa.
23:20So I was calling to make sure that it's
23:22going to the correct address.
23:23Can you verify what you have?
23:25Yeah, Heather, make sure you get that address right.
23:28Material's not been showing up.
23:34That's the flip house.
23:36Thank you so much.
23:37That's accurate.
23:39Have a nice day.
23:40Oh, my god.
23:41Was that your tardy voice?
23:43You had to be Heather.
23:44I had to be Tariq, right?
23:46Oh, my god, OK.
23:47Do you think that's actually the address?
23:49Oh, this is it, all right.
23:50Closed escrow only two months ago.
23:53Thanks to Heather's active social media presence,
23:56I know that they are in their happy place
23:58and living their best lives in Hawaii.
24:00So while they're sipping on their drinks,
24:03I will be spying on their house fund.
24:05See how far it is from here.
24:0719 minutes, let's go.
24:14So I bought it for $710,000.
24:16Says it's worth $1.2, but that's not necessarily fixed up.
24:22You know, they got a good deal on it.
24:24It's got to be this, right?
24:26I don't see anyone.
24:30Wait, is it all locked?
24:31Man, since when is he so, like, locked up?
24:35Maybe we can get access from the back.
24:37That's what I was thinking.
24:38Should we try that?
24:38Yep.
24:40Are you worried about getting caught at all here?
24:42This is a prime work time.
24:43If no one's here now, no one's coming back, right?
24:46Well, it's an awful lot like our garage.
24:48There's a door.
24:50Looks like they're spending quite a bit.
24:52Yeah, this looks expensive.
24:53Yeah, it is.
24:55They're going to have to spend some money on the front yard,
24:56too, because this is a big front yard.
24:58Oh, you can see into the kitchen.
24:59Give you a boost.
25:01Oh, is that the dining room she was all mad about?
25:02Yeah.
25:03A lot of archways.
25:05Between all the work they're going to put up here,
25:06all the new windows, like, that alone is a flight path.
25:13Yeah, that's bad.
25:14That's a solid point.
25:14Yeah, that's a solid point.
25:16I feel like $1.2 is closer to what it's
25:18actually going to sell for.
25:18I think so, too.
25:20So if they overspend here, they're
25:21going to make a mistake.
25:24While we celebrate Heather's birthday in Hawaii,
25:26our crew is finishing up the pebble shower pan,
25:28installing the slab for the vanity,
25:31and hanging textured wallpaper.
25:32And when we return, there really shouldn't
25:34be much more to do other than the finishing touches
25:37so we can win this thing.
25:39My team isn't slowing down for a second.
25:41Wallpaper is going up, and the tile is going in.
25:44I'll take my vacation when the competition is over,
25:46and Tarek and Heather can pay for it.
25:48We have some things we got to deal with.
25:50Wallpaper got ahead of everything.
25:51So we don't have a sconce.
25:53We have a pendant.
25:54In order for us to do a sconce, I
25:56have to start over with the drywall.
25:58It's going to be a process.
26:00I don't have a pendant for in here.
26:02Can you switch it?
26:03I would have to go and get it by tomorrow morning.
26:05It's just easier to go to the store and buy a darn pendant.
26:07OK.
26:08The vanity.
26:09I wanted to do the rounded edge.
26:11I thought the grandmas would like that.
26:12But I wasn't thinking clearly about the round edge.
26:15I was thinking about the round edge.
26:16I wasn't thinking clearly, and obviously, I was distracted,
26:19knowing that porcelain doesn't cut round,
26:21and I ordered porcelain.
26:23How hard would it be to square off this edge?
26:25That's not happening.
26:26OK, not happening.
26:27Understood.
26:29It is go time.
26:31It's all hands on deck to bring our primary suite to life.
26:34One more day until I finally get the win that I deserve.
26:37Yeah.
26:43Hi.
26:44How are you?
26:45Oh, my god, the lights are freaking gorgeous.
26:47They look like props, though, like they go on a boat.
26:50No, they don't.
26:50OK.
26:51They look like earrings.
26:52Oh, my god, if we don't freaking win,
26:54like, oh, my god, the gloating by Tark and Heather.
26:58Oh, my god.
26:59I'm not stopping now, I'm relentless.
27:02Honey, what are you doing?
27:05Melting.
27:06Can you hand me these so I don't have to get down every time?
27:08We literally bought the chandelier on our way over,
27:10and I think that this looks better than the sconces
27:12that we're going to use.
27:13Honey, slow and controlled.
27:17Always telling me what to do, huh?
27:18If it breaks, this is it.
27:20We have nothing else.
27:21Oh, you have no faith in me.
27:23Well, when it comes to breakable things, absolutely not.
27:25Sounds like I'm working with Christina today, huh?
27:27Burp.
27:30Ow.
27:31Oh, fuck.
27:32Oh, fuck.
27:33You just got to be careful where you step, OK?
27:37Did you break one?
27:39Fuck.
27:40You did?
27:41Yeah.
27:42Are you freaking kidding me?
27:43You guys want to lift and I'll roll?
27:46Don't drop it.
27:47You're doing a great job.
27:48Christina's under the bed.
27:50I'm going to put the nightstand there
27:51just so I stop hitting him.
27:53Wow, it's coming together already.
27:54Oh, fuck.
27:55Oh, my god.
27:56What the fuck?
27:58This place is like, it's like very dirty.
28:01It's like dusty and disgusting.
28:02Look at this.
28:03What the heck's this?
28:05And what, is this two-toned, or what is this?
28:07What's going on here?
28:08That's a different paint color, hon.
28:09Something's off.
28:10Oh, my god.
28:11Babe, look at the ceiling.
28:13This isn't painted.
28:14It's not finished.
28:15So when do you have court next week?
28:16Court?
28:17Oh, it got postponed because he made a horrible offer.
28:20He asked for $3.5 million for me.
28:22A very fair offer.
28:24He said it was very fair.
28:25Go ahead and clap for me, black girl.
28:27You sound good when you're bad.
28:28I don't know if I trust you painting.
28:31Hey, this is a different color, though.
28:32Honey, the baseboards aren't even painted.
28:34Is that the ceiling?
28:35Oh, my god.
28:36There's a big gash in the wall, honey.
28:38I know.
28:39There's a lot of problems everywhere, hon.
28:40The house is not ready.
28:41Oh, that's fucked up.
28:42Honey, I painted the ceiling the wrong color.
28:44Paint over it.
28:45Can't we just paint over it?
28:46No, because the colors will blend,
28:47and it'll change the color.
28:48OK, dry it with a fan.
28:49Oh, fine.
28:50You guys are all stressing me out, all of you.
28:52Oh, my god.
28:54Oh, my god, it's so hot.
28:56I got a video.
28:58All right, guys, it's judging day.
28:59And guess what?
29:01I'm going to win design.
29:02Is that our house?
29:03Again.
29:04And this time, I'm going to take the whole thing.
29:05And end your gloating for good.
29:07Good luck.
29:08Bye.
29:10Oh, my god.
29:11What can we send back?
29:12Hey, I'm on limited time right now.
29:14I can't care less right now what she's sending.
29:16I got a text.
29:17It's my mom.
29:18Hi, teams, your primary suites are about to be judged.
29:21Time to stop all work.
29:34Holy macaroni.
29:36Wow.
29:40Wow.
29:41Whoa, look at this.
29:43It's going to be a while.
29:47No idea where we are.
29:49Oh, look, there's a pool, too.
29:50Oh, there is a pool.
29:52Cool.
29:53Looks like they've got new doors in.
29:54This is nice.
29:55Ooh.
29:58Are you ready?
29:58Yeah.
30:02Here we are.
30:03Wow.
30:04Wow.
30:06So cool.
30:08I like it.
30:10This is beautiful.
30:12It is.
30:14Here's the iPad.
30:15Wow, gosh.
30:16Wow.
30:18Eee.
30:25I do like the color palette, don't you?
30:27Yes.
30:28It really flows.
30:30I think it's very peaceful.
30:31Yeah, it's that new thing, right?
30:32Zen-like.
30:34I mean, you feel like you walk in,
30:36and you want to lay down, read your book.
30:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:39I think so.
30:39You feel it?
30:42Yeah.
30:44I do like the lights.
30:45Don't you like the lights?
30:46Aren't they different?
30:47Aren't those fun?
30:48Look, it's like a metal.
30:50It's three.
30:50Don't you want to spin them?
30:55Do you think this is even a queen-size bed?
30:59A little tight.
31:00I think it's a queen.
31:01Yeah, but this is the primary bedroom.
31:03So if you put a king in this bedroom, you're going to have.
31:06No, there's no way.
31:07Wall-to-wall bed.
31:08Look at the closet.
31:09I've never seen any closets like that before.
31:12I think that's so cool.
31:13Oh my gosh, it's really good size.
31:14Look at this.
31:15Whoa, it's big.
31:15It's almost like a walk-in closet.
31:17Put a dresser in there.
31:18Yeah, you can.
31:19Two for storage.
31:20Extra credit for the closet.
31:21Do you like the wallpaper?
31:22I do.
31:24I can't believe wallpaper came back.
31:26Oh my gosh, this is so nice.
31:28I think the shower is very nice for a small space.
31:31It's a nice pattern, but it's not overdoing it for the size.
31:34No, it's not overdoing it.
31:37Uh-oh.
31:38What'd you find?
31:38A little neck?
31:39Oh no.
31:40That's awful.
31:41It's a tiny one.
31:42If someone's going to buy it.
31:43Well, you know, maybe it's natural,
31:45because see how there's variations here, and here,
31:47and here?
31:47So it's like vintage-looking.
31:48Yeah, yeah.
31:50And I really like that they've got the double sinks.
31:52Yeah, I like that they've got the double sinks.
31:54I like that they've got the double sinks.
31:55I really like that they've got the double sinks.
31:57They did a good job considering how tiny.
32:00And I'm not concerned about this.
32:02Me too.
32:03As far as somebody bumping into it?
32:05Yeah.
32:05I would be the one.
32:07Get a big bruise.
32:08Oops.
32:09This one's got a little crack.
32:11See, so what they should do is cut it on a curve.
32:13Somebody did.
32:14Already, it's been a problem.
32:16To me, that's kind of a layout issue too.
32:19Three lights.
32:21Oh, so when you're putting on your makeup
32:23and need a little extra light, we've got it.
32:25Oh, there you go.
32:26Whoa.
32:27Oh, wrinkles go.
32:28Woo!
32:29Woo!
32:30There goes the wrinkles.
32:31Oh, look at me jumping in with my face.
32:33See?
32:34Oh, I like this light better.
32:35Ha, ha, ha, ha.
32:38All right.
32:39On to the next house.
32:40Here we go.
32:44Let's do this.
32:46OK.
32:46Hey.
32:56Very nice.
32:59Look at all the built-ins.
33:01So probably not as much closet space as the other one.
33:05Do you like that main wall, that focus wall?
33:07I do.
33:09I wouldn't have thought of having the wood
33:10and then the variegated paper.
33:12Don't you feel it makes the room seem higher?
33:15Yes.
33:15I like that a lot.
33:17And then they have the space here for a dresser.
33:20Look who we have here, our grandkids.
33:24How cute is that?
33:25Oh, that's cute.
33:26That's super cute.
33:27Oh, hi.
33:29Smiley pants.
33:32See that?
33:34There.
33:35Oh, they should have been a little bit more careful.
33:37This one is down a little bit.
33:39OK, ready?
33:39Yep.
33:40Ta-da.
33:41Ooh.
33:46Oh, it changes colors.
33:49Well, that's fun.
33:50Do you like the lighting?
33:51Oh, is it flattering?
33:52Oh, it's very flattering.
33:53Yes.
33:54Yes.
33:55The nice double sinks.
33:57There's no handles on the faucet.
33:58No, there isn't.
34:00That's crazy.
34:01Like here, behind.
34:04Oh, that's bothering me.
34:06I don't know about Christina, but Tarek gets really
34:09angry about stuff like that.
34:11Unbelievable.
34:12It should not be like that.
34:14Unbelievable.
34:15It should be working.
34:20What do you think about the shower?
34:22It's big.
34:23It feels very relaxing to me.
34:25Ooh.
34:27I forgot to repaint the ceilings.
34:29Knowing Christina, I'm pretty sure she would be bothered.
34:31But Tarek, he would lose his mind about those details.
34:35Because that takes points away from them, you know?
34:38Yes.
34:39And they're all strong-willed, and they know what they want.
34:43For sure.
34:45OK.
34:47We've seen both primaries.
34:48Now comes the tough part.
34:49Both girls have extremely good taste.
34:51Yes.
34:52It's tough.
34:53I don't know whose is whose.
34:54But I know which one I think I prefer.
35:05So we meet again.
35:06Hey.
35:07Have you talked to your mom?
35:08I have.
35:09Tell the truth.
35:10Did you cheat?
35:10No.
35:11How could I cheat?
35:12I guess she knows your style, though.
35:14Her design style is very different than mine.
35:16I wonder what she's going to say about ours.
35:18She really doesn't like gray.
35:20Uh-oh.
35:22I'm a little scared.
35:24Tarek doesn't like surprises.
35:25So when his mom walks into the house as a co-judge,
35:29I think he's going to freak out.
35:32Did you finish all your stuff on time?
35:33Yeah.
35:34Did yours?
35:35Yeah, of course.
35:38Are your plumbings working?
35:40Our plumbing's working.
35:41Something else wasn't finished.
35:44No, it's finished.
35:45It's finished wrong.
35:48Hello?
35:49Come on in.
35:50Hey, Lori.
35:51Hi.
35:52Surprise!
35:54No.
35:56Wait a minute.
35:57I think she's been shopping.
35:58Wait a minute.
35:59I didn't say I'm a traitor.
36:00She saved me.
36:02Surprise.
36:03She makes a lot of rules.
36:04But you didn't say I had to say who all the judges were.
36:06Isn't that exciting?
36:08No.
36:09She's sweet.
36:10Now I don't know.
36:11Oh, no.
36:13I love you, Cucco.
36:14But now I know it's going to be tough.
36:18Dominique, she's my girl.
36:19I adore her, and she adores me.
36:21So she's very loyal.
36:23I'm going to leave it at that.
36:24This has been very hard for us.
36:26It has been.
36:27I mean, we are your moms.
36:29And we love you all.
36:30Yeah, we do.
36:31And we've watched your journey.
36:33Exactly.
36:33Since the beginning.
36:34From the very beginning.
36:35Exactly.
36:37So who won?
36:39Wow.
36:40Because we don't know whose house is whose,
36:43we talked about how to differentiate the houses.
36:45So one is a one-story house, and one is a two-story house,
36:48right?
36:48Right.
36:49Are you ready?
36:50I'm ready.
36:51So we have the use of space, the quality of the work,
36:55the added value, the transformation,
36:59and the overall design.
37:00Both houses did a very good job as far as utilizing the space.
37:05But the two-story house was a lot smaller.
37:09And yet, managed to slide in quite a few features
37:12into a very small space.
37:14So even though the bathroom was small, there was two sinks.
37:17The pocket door was a good idea, because that
37:20would have to do with the door opening and closing.
37:22And in addition, there was a nice-sized closet
37:24in that small bedroom.
37:26And so therefore, as far as use of space,
37:30we thought that the two-story one was the award
37:33winner for that category.
37:35The next is quality of workmanship.
37:37The two-story house in the bathroom,
37:40the counter had really, really pointy corner.
37:46And somebody already had broken a piece.
37:48Somebody might say, I want a new counter,
37:51because of this nick here.
37:53And then we thought, one of the tiles in the shower
37:55is broken, right?
37:56But then we looked around, and it
37:58looked like they were trying to go for the vintage style.
38:01But in our opinion, it looked broken.
38:04So they should have been more careful about the piece
38:06they picked to put there to be more uniform, OK?
38:10In the one-story house, the automatic closet,
38:13Loey kept going, no water.
38:17Closet door in the bedroom needs to be a little bit higher.
38:21And somebody forgot to paint the ceiling in the shower.
38:24You should be home inspectors.
38:27So we looked at which one would cost a lot more money
38:30to repair, and we both decided it
38:34would be the two-story house, because of the chip.
38:37So we gave the win to the one-story house
38:41for quality of work.
38:43Added value.
38:45We picked the one-level house, because it
38:49incorporated more technology.
38:51Like in the bathroom, that house had the fancy mirrors.
38:55And then we like the fact that the faucets were one, at least.
39:00It was automatic with the water coming out.
39:03Both houses certainly had significant transformation.
39:07One of the houses had a slider in the primary bedroom,
39:11and it was replaced by two windows.
39:13And the other house had two windows,
39:14which was replaced by a slider.
39:18The two-story house, it was in bad shape.
39:22And the bathroom had a funky door that went outside.
39:27So we felt that the two-story house
39:31had done a more significant transformation.
39:34So we're two and two now.
39:36OK.
39:36Are we ready?
39:37You ready?
39:38All right.
39:39The winner of the overall design is the one-story house.
40:01Oh.
40:02Ah!
40:03Oh!
40:04That's yours?
40:05Oh, I'm so happy.
40:06That's yours?
40:08I said that was yours.
40:09You guys, now I'm going to gloat for two more weeks.
40:11Especially after she sent me that video talking smack.
40:14I've been working really hard at my design.
40:16So when I win in design, it's not just like,
40:19oh, I beat Christina, and yay.
40:20Like, I'm winning for myself.
40:21I don't know.
40:23It's probably going to go three for three.
40:24Mom, I had your colors in the house.
40:27This one hurt.
40:28But I feel like it hurts worse to lose design to Heather,
40:32because she hasn't been doing this very long.
40:35And now I feel like the gloat level from the two of them
40:38is going to be extreme.
40:39So my question is, how do you get hot and cold
40:41on those sinks that are getting hot?
40:43I don't know.
40:44But I'm probably going to hire a plumber with the $2,000
40:45that Christina owes me.
40:46Oh, what?
40:48All right, Mom.
40:48I'll give you a ride home.
40:50Yeah.
40:51Good night.
40:51Get some sleep tonight.
40:53Good night.
40:55Oh, my gosh.
40:57Mom, I was supposed to win that one.
40:59I did your colors.
41:00I did your jacket.
41:03I think the paneling was confusing.
41:05And you like chandeliers.
41:07When do I use chandeliers?
41:08I haven't used those in years, since like 16.
41:10Did you see me gloating?
41:12Don't be mean.
41:14Don't be mean.
41:15Don't be mean.
41:16We didn't know.
41:17You could have lost, so be quiet.
41:19You take your jackets back.
41:21This literally matched the shower exactly.
41:23This right here, this is the shower tile.
41:25You almost lost.
41:26We did almost lose.
41:27Don't gloat so much.
41:28Honey, it was close.
41:30You think she's sitting down crying, watching
41:31us on her security cameras?
41:32No.
41:33No, I think she's plotting.
41:35Plotting the next move.
41:36My whole goal of this whole thing
41:39is that Tariq and Heather are spending
41:41a lot to try to beat me on these competitions,
41:43and that they end up overspending,
41:46and that I end up winning the entire competition
41:48by saving throughout and then winning the ROI.
41:51So, you know, they have the gloating rights throughout.
41:53But at the end, like, if I take the entire thing,
41:55well, then it's going to shut them up for a while.
41:57How's our house?
41:58Is it nice?
41:58But I'm not divulging anything.
42:00What do you mean you're not divulging?
42:01I'm not divulging.
42:02Are you kidding me right now?
42:03I'm not divulging.
42:05Mom.
42:06You're not supposed to know each other's secrets.
42:08Nope.
42:09Mom, you're going to have to give this up.
42:10I am not divulging.
42:11I'm serious.
42:12Next, on the flip off.
42:13Did you sleep, or were you thinking
42:15about that massive loss?
42:17I cannot keep losing to them when it all costs.
42:21Hello?
42:22Heather has a question for you.
42:25Number one flipper in the world needs more time.
42:27What do you want?
42:29Oh my god, it's so evil.
42:31Yes, we'll do it.
42:31We'll make the deal.
42:32All right, bye.
42:33I'm just saying, no.
42:34We have a deal.
42:35No, we don't have a deal yet.
42:36Ah!
42:38Whoa.
42:39Hurricane Helene hits Florida.
42:41We're trying to get the material to you.
42:43The roads and airports are closed.
42:46It's going to be an incomplete.
42:47Who's the judge?
42:48Amanda Smith, who I used to work with.
42:50Whoa!
42:52What is this?
42:55It is such a little living space.
42:57Did we just say the winner?
42:58Oh, you're killing us here, Amanda!
