Watch a Sneak Peek: Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack Compete in a Real Estate Showdown

There’s a new competition show coming to HGTV, and this time it's a battle of the exes. Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack built a home-flipping empire with HGTV's long-running series Flip or Flop — but it all came crashing down after their publicized divorce.

Now, they're back in a new series called The Flip Off — a throwdown competition premiering on Wednesday, January 29 at 8|7c.

Who's Competing in The Flip Off?

It's Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa versus Christina.

Team Tarek and Heather: With nearly 1,000 flips to his credit, Tarek runs a successful flipping business with his wife and on-screen partner, luxury real estate agent Heather.

“When it comes to distressed real estate, I own the space and Christina doesn’t stand a chance,” says Tarek. “It all comes down to this: Who’s going to rise higher from the ashes of everything that we burned to the ground?”

“I come from high-end real estate, and now I’ve been flipping houses with Tarek for the last few years,” says Heather. “It’s my time to show how hard I’ve worked on my designs, and, more than anything, I want to prove that we can beat Christina.”

Team Christina: 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 show begins, Christina starts the competition alongside her husband, but a sudden life change brings 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.

“Tarek, Heather and I have all been through a lot of stuff together, and we are all highly competitive,” says Christina. “Tarek is the self-proclaimed ‘best flipper in the world,’ but, honestly, give me a break. I can’t wait to smoke them at their own game.”

What's The Flip Off About?

Across the six-episode flipping battle, each team will each attempt to find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain. The competitors' skills and budget will be put to the test as they renovate the kitchen, main suite, living room, guest suite, extra bedroom and exterior of their chosen properties. The team who comes out on top wins ultimate bragging rights ... and a first-class vacation paid for by the loser.

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). The winner of each weekly renovation challenge will win a $2,000 prize from the losing team to use in the next space.

In the two-hour premiere episode, 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.
