FunTranscript
00:00Previously on the flip-off.
00:02I cannot keep losing to them.
00:04We gotta get the knives out?
00:05Yes.
00:07We already did the kitchen in the primary.
00:09Makes sense that we do the living room.
00:11Win at all costs.
00:13We have to do something on that wall.
00:15If it's not finished, we lose.
00:16I hate asking her for anything.
00:18The number one flipper in the world needs more time.
00:20I'm just saying, no.
00:21We have a deal.
00:22No, we don't have a deal yet.
00:23Who's the judge?
00:24Amanda Smith.
00:25She is a designer.
00:26She is very critical.
00:28What is this?
00:30That was our judge.
00:31This looks amazing,
00:32considering it is such a little living space.
00:34I know.
00:35Transformation.
00:36This is going to Christina.
00:37Oh, my God.
00:38Every time.
00:40Did I just say the winner?
00:41Yeah.
00:42I was here, Amanda.
00:43Okay.
00:46Christina.
00:47Oh, come on.
00:50They needed that.
00:51We cannot lose two in a row.
00:53I'm gonna go cry in the corner.
01:00I'm sick of love.
01:02I'm sick of you.
01:04I'm sick of stupid stuff that your love makes me do.
01:09Hey.
01:10I know, it's cold, huh?
01:12How are you?
01:13Good, how are you?
01:14Good.
01:15Okay, so where do you feel like you want a little bit more fullness?
01:18Maybe like here.
01:20Tarek's sister has been doing my hair since Tarek and I met.
01:23I've been so busy beating Tarek and Heather on the living room challenge
01:27that I haven't had time to meet them to discuss rules.
01:29So first rule of being a winner, the loser comes to you.
01:32This competition thing's stressful but fun.
01:36Working with Tarek again is stressful.
01:38Do you still cut his hair?
01:39No.
01:40I fired him years ago.
01:41Hi.
01:42Speak of the devil.
01:43How are you?
01:44Good, how are you?
01:45So currently the score is two us and one Christina.
01:48I still can't believe she won the living room challenge.
01:50It's absolutely unbelievable.
01:51I know.
01:52I feel like she's gonna win transformation every time.
01:54So we have to be strategic going into this next challenge.
01:57The next space is gonna be very important.
01:59So you guys do it room by room, right?
02:01So now we pick the room, she picks the next judge.
02:04We have three options.
02:05Backyard should be last.
02:06Yes, for sure.
02:07So we have miscellaneous spaces, all of our extra spaces,
02:10and we have like guest bedroom bathroom.
02:12Okay, and what are you gonna pick?
02:13Guest bedroom bathroom.
02:14Okay.
02:15I wanna do bedroom and bathroom because I've seen our designs,
02:17I've seen Heather's growth, and I know we can beat her.
02:20So even her judge is gonna have to vote for us.
02:23But there's a twist.
02:24We wanna take out transformation and replace it with wow factor.
02:28No, I do not agree.
02:29Oh, is the designer scared of wow factor?
02:32Absolutely not doing that.
02:33That makes no sense.
02:35You can't just take out the ones that you don't want.
02:37You can add a sixth category if you want,
02:39but we're not taking a category out.
02:40Okay, okay, fine.
02:41Let's add it on then.
02:42Deal.
02:43So for this challenge, we have two weeks to complete it.
02:45Yep.
02:46I'll work on a judge.
02:47I'll let you know within the next week who it is.
02:48Okay.
02:49Uh-oh, I think I put too much.
02:50Is this firm hold?
02:51Yes.
02:52Oh, crap, I thought this was the other stuff.
03:05For our guest suite,
03:06we're gonna use the bedroom and bathroom near the front of the house.
03:09We demoed the space week one, but haven't touched it since.
03:13So we need to figure out what the issues are.
03:16Okay.
03:22My guest bedroom was filled with junk.
03:24The flooring was in terrible shape and it smelled horrendous.
03:27The guest bathroom was absolutely decaying.
03:31So my team had to pull everything out to see what we're working with.
03:38What is happening here?
03:39It feels like it's gonna fall through.
03:40Oh, God.
03:41Is that water damage?
03:42Or, like, why is it so mushy?
03:43Yeah, the tub was here,
03:45Okay, that's safe.
03:46This is more, I think.
03:48Oh.
03:49You can see, like, the termites have just been eating it, right?
03:51That's not good.
03:52So your tight quarter of designs has got a new wall.
03:55I feel like this whole room is, like, just caving in on us.
03:58I'd love to move this window, make it smaller.
04:01How would you like if it raised it and then maybe just went to a vent window?
04:05Yeah, I think that'd be better.
04:06Right?
04:07I think it's a little strange.
04:08Yeah.
04:09This is the guest bedroom.
04:10This room is definitely bigger and better than the primary.
04:12However, it doesn't have an en-suite bathroom.
04:15So in order for me to have an en-suite bathroom,
04:17I'd have to lose one of the bedrooms upstairs.
04:19And then I would go from a four-bedroom to a three-bedroom.
04:22And in this neighborhood, that would be a huge hit on the ROI.
04:25The only weird part about this one is, like, the way the windows are positioned.
04:29I hate off-center.
04:30I mean, that kind of puts a little hinder in a beautiful design plan.
04:32This is, like, such a big wall.
04:33It'd be nice to do a couple features on here.
04:35Maybe, like, a high headboard, some lighting.
04:38I'm planning to take inspiration from my daughter, Taylor,
04:40and designing a bedroom that any guest or teenager would love.
04:43First, we'll put in brand-new windows.
04:45Then, opposite the windows, I want to create a beautiful accent wall
04:50using lime wash and fluted plaster.
04:53This week, we need a wow factor.
04:55I'm going to string LED lights along the edge to really make the fluting pop.
04:59To the left of the bed, we'll add custom cabinets,
05:02a built-in desk, and a gorgeous mirror that lights up.
05:05In the bathroom, I want to use neutral colors to create a calming space.
05:09Brass fixtures, a shampoo niche with custom lights,
05:12and a rounded edge vanity is going to give the space a high-end look
05:16that I need to beat Tarek and Heather.
05:18I'm increasing my design budget this week to $50,000,
05:21but I'm hoping that just like last week, this is going to bring me to victory.
05:25How is there no storage up here?
05:28Don't you find that odd for three bedrooms?
05:30How can there not be a closet?
05:32What is this?
05:33What is this?
05:34It's a vent from the old heater.
05:36Is there any reason why this can't be a linen cabinet?
05:38If you would like to add a built-in, you have...
05:41It could be pretty big, actually.
05:42Yeah, almost 24.
05:43Yeah, that would be really nice.
05:45You still got energy?
05:46Well, I've been, you know, slowing down a little bit.
05:48I can tell, because you're 40 now.
05:50Don't remind me.
05:52What's up, Ryan?
05:53Hi.
05:54Hey, guys.
05:55What's up?
05:56How are we looking?
05:57Did you find anything that we should be concerned with?
05:59No, there's nothing major.
06:00It's a standard secondary bathroom.
06:02Is this a window here?
06:03Yes.
06:04There's no privacy if we have that.
06:05For me, guys, you have to have light.
06:07Light, and I like to air out the bathroom.
06:09Oh, my God.
06:10I don't mean it like that.
06:12Like, the steam from the shower.
06:14Yeah, it's steamy, all right.
06:16Anyways, moving on.
06:17I think we put a window up high, and nobody can see in.
06:20Yeah.
06:21I think we do a really detailed shampoo niche, oversized.
06:24You can actually take it all the way to here,
06:26where it's the whole thing going across on your soap niche.
06:28Yeah.
06:29Let's do that.
06:30Okay, heck yeah.
06:31Easy.
06:32Easy for who?
06:33Modern Zen is our design theme.
06:35It appeals to buyers and our judges,
06:37so we'll stick with it in our guest suite.
06:39In our bedroom, we want to replace the floors and windows
06:42to match the rest of the house.
06:44We like using different textures,
06:45so planning to wallpaper the top half of the walls
06:48and paint the bottom half for the wow factor.
06:51Thinking we'll run LED lights along the molding
06:54that separates the wallpaper from the paint
06:56to really show it off.
06:57A reading corner with slatted wood panels
06:59and hanging plants will bring a piece of Zen
07:01and nature to the room.
07:02And since we lost the laundry room in the kitchen design,
07:05we've decided to split our large bathroom
07:07into two smaller spaces.
07:09We'll focus on the bathroom now and the laundry room later.
07:12We'll minimize the giant window
07:13and add two large shampoo niches
07:15to create a focal point in the shower.
07:18To continue our textured look,
07:19we'll add a water-resistant wallpaper to the walls.
07:22Gorgeous tile, a floating vanity,
07:24and modern sconces will complete the space.
07:26We cannot lose to Christina again,
07:29so we're hoping a budget of $50,000
07:31can help us bring home a win.
07:33Game on!
07:34Don't forget who the king of flipping is, okay?
07:36Me.
07:37♪♪♪♪
07:44Your dad and Heather so far won two,
07:47and I won the living room.
07:49And your dad and Heather, like, were freaking out.
07:52Why?
07:53Because you know he can't stand losing,
07:55especially to me.
07:56Oh, my God, did I tell you when he lost rock, paper, scissors
07:58and he ran out of your guy's house?
08:00Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
08:02-♪♪♪♪
08:07Does he not get embarrassed by that?
08:09No, that's the problem.
08:10He doesn't get embarrassed by his actions.
08:12I get to pick the judge for the next one.
08:14Like, for this round,
08:15I just, I need to mess with him a little bit more.
08:17Does he have any, like, enemies?
08:20Enemies.
08:22♪♪♪♪♪
08:26My guest bedroom is not gonna be cheap.
08:28We have to completely replace all of the flooring and subfloor.
08:32We're getting rid of the old windows.
08:35In the bathroom, thanks to the termites,
08:37the entire shower needs to be reframed.
08:40On top of all of that, we're creating a vent window,
08:43installing a new tub, and putting up drywall.
08:46♪♪♪♪♪
08:50We only have two weeks
08:51to flip this guest bedroom and bathroom,
08:53so every second counts and every dollar.
08:56Luckily, we don't have any big-ticket repairs,
08:59so we can spend more time on designing
09:01and creating wow factors
09:03so we can ultimately defeat Christina.
09:05♪♪♪♪♪
09:08I remember when we first initially walked this house,
09:11and there was wallpaper on the ceiling.
09:13On the ceiling.
09:14I like the ceilings, like, the height.
09:16I kind of dig in the wallpaper like this, too.
09:18Like, maybe we keep that design style,
09:19like, do something on the ceiling like this.
09:23You know what? Leave the designs to me.
09:25So you want to wallpaper the ceiling.
09:27It's going to run down to here,
09:28and then it's going to be paint.
09:29Yes.
09:30Have you seen this before?
09:31When we first walked the house.
09:32Yeah, like, 60 years ago.
09:33I walked in, I fell in love with, like,
09:35wallpaper on the ceiling.
09:36That is very unexpected.
09:38People are not doing that.
09:39This one, I'd say no.
09:41It's too bold for what I want to do.
09:43Okay, I like this one.
09:44These two are my favorites.
09:46Okay, let's do this one.
09:47Another idea.
09:48What if we did some type of
09:49built-in live edge wood desk?
09:51So it would fold up, and it would fold down.
09:53So it would be mounted on the wall.
09:55Oh, that would be neat.
09:56100% wow factor.
09:57So I could probably get that done
09:58for around $1,000.
09:59Gosh.
10:01But if we don't do that...
10:02I know, we can't lose wow factor.
10:04Because the bathroom,
10:05like, I feel like our primary bath,
10:07that was, like, a wow bathroom,
10:08so primary.
10:09This one, it's a smaller space.
10:11So this is the floor tile,
10:13and I want to run the shower tile
10:14behind the vanity,
10:15but only partway up the wall.
10:17God, we spent so much money.
10:18If you don't want me to do it, I won't.
10:20Is this reverse psychology right now?
10:22Is this one of those things
10:23where, like, you want me to...
10:24Want you to...
10:25I want you to tell me what you want.
10:27What are the consequences, though,
10:28that you're not telling me about?
10:29Why is there always a consequence?
10:31Because I know you file everything.
10:33Ha ha.
10:34Michael has lost three times now
10:36on...
10:38craftsmanship.
10:39Obviously, I love him, and he's amazing,
10:40but we have to get that one.
10:42That one in design,
10:43because Heather's getting all cocky
10:45about that.
10:46It hurts my soul.
10:47I agree.
10:48Okay, so I have an idea for the judge.
10:51You might think this is crazy.
10:52I was thinking about bringing in
10:54my second ex-husband, Ant.
10:56Ha ha ha!
10:58Because I just love to mess with Tarek.
11:00He's gonna be so thrown off
11:01when I say that the judge is Ant.
11:03He's, like, gonna be so in his own head.
11:05Ant is my second ex-husband.
11:08He is also the father
11:09to my third child, Hudson,
11:11an engineer and a car builder.
11:13If Ant was a judge,
11:14because Tarek is aware
11:15of some of the issues
11:16that Ant and I have had
11:17throughout the years,
11:18it would be a bit surprising
11:19and, let's say, shocking.
11:21He loves my style.
11:22Why don't we reach out to him sooner?
11:24Well, he's...
11:27Ant and I split up
11:28when Hudson was one,
11:30and now Hudson is five.
11:33Between the time
11:34of his first birthday
11:36and, I would say, fifth birthday,
11:39we did not communicate a lot.
11:41After Josh and I split up,
11:42I went over to his house
11:43to pick up Hudson
11:44because I was taking him
11:45to a birthday party,
11:46and when I walked up to the door,
11:48he gave me a huge hug.
11:50We hadn't hugged in years,
11:51and he just said,
11:52I'm so sorry for everything
11:53that you're going through,
11:54and I'm here for you
11:55no matter what you need.
11:57And it was a very nice moment,
11:59and we had a long talk after,
12:01and we decided to put
12:03all the BS aside
12:05and be good co-parents,
12:07like Tarek and I are,
12:08for Hudson.
12:09Let's see the answers.
12:10I mean, I don't usually
12:11FaceTime him, to be honest.
12:13Okay.
12:14I just don't want him to think
12:15that I'm overstepping
12:16in the relationship
12:17or that this type of favor
12:18is too soon,
12:20so I'm a bit nervous
12:21to call him and ask.
12:24Hi.
12:27♪♪
12:35Hi.
12:37What have you done?
12:39You must have broken something.
12:40You must have broken something.
12:41What's going on?
12:42Um, okay, so...
12:45I am doing this competition
12:47against Tarek and Heather.
12:50I know.
12:51It's just ironic.
12:52Anyways, you actually
12:54have an eye for art,
12:56and you're actually a creator,
12:58and you actually
12:59can build things,
13:00so I was wondering
13:01if you have time
13:02one day to come out
13:03and do the judging
13:05in two weeks.
13:06You want me to be a judge?
13:07I know. It's weird.
13:09But it'll be fun.
13:11Maybe not fun for you,
13:12but it'll be fun for me.
13:15I'll do it,
13:16but I'll do it
13:17because I'm actually interested
13:18to see you up against
13:20Tarek and Heather.
13:21Yeah, I know.
13:22It's been interesting,
13:23that's for sure.
13:24There's a few conditions.
13:25First of all, I have to, uh...
13:26It has to be authentic,
13:27so if your room is rubbish,
13:28you're gonna tell me.
13:29Fair?
13:30Yep.
13:31No hard feelings.
13:32But you can't come up against me
13:33if Tarek happens to be the winner.
13:34No hard feelings, I promise.
13:36Then we have a deal.
13:37I'll be your judge.
13:38I'm gonna tell our son
13:39if you don't pick me.
13:40Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
13:42Oh, jeez.
13:45Okay, you wanna go
13:46do the bathroom?
13:47Yeah.
13:48I think at the end of the day,
13:49no matter the ups and downs
13:50of Ant and I,
13:51Ant doesn't love Tarek.
13:53You know, they had
13:54their fair share of issues, too.
13:55Okay, I brought this tile
13:56for the bathroom floor,
13:58and I think that this should be
14:01what we have Tarek and Heather
14:03pick up from the tile store
14:04for our winnings
14:05of the living room.
14:06Okay.
14:07And then I guess
14:08I'll also let them know
14:09who the judge is.
14:10I'm so excited.
14:21Oh, God, what do you want?
14:22Hi.
14:23I have my advantage
14:25ready to be picked up.
14:26It's tile,
14:27and I'll text you the address
14:28where to get it,
14:29and then you can drop it
14:30off at my place.
14:31Have you picked the judge yet?
14:32I have.
14:33The judge is
14:34my second ex-husband,
14:35Mr. Anthony Anstead.
14:36What?
14:37Josh.
14:38No way.
14:39Why didn't you just have Josh come
14:40and they could judge together?
14:41Are you serious, Ant?
14:43Wow.
14:44Pretty shortly after
14:46me and Christina split,
14:47she got into a relationship
14:48with Ant,
14:49and I remember they were dating
14:50for a few months,
14:51and I'll never forget this night.
14:53I was on my bed
14:55scrolling social media,
14:56and there it was,
14:57a picture of her and Ant,
14:58and it says,
14:59just married.
15:00Wow.
15:01And I didn't know
15:02anything about it.
15:03I sent Ant a message,
15:04and I said,
15:06please treat my kids
15:07as your own.
15:08He never responded,
15:09by the way.
15:10I wonder why
15:11they got divorced.
15:14All right.
15:15We're going to pick up
15:16your ugly tile,
15:17because we are going to
15:18crush you second place.
15:19All right.
15:20Good luck with that.
15:21Bye.
15:22How do you feel about this?
15:23I'm kind of shocked
15:24that he said yes.
15:25I actually have noticed
15:26that she's been liking
15:27his photos on social media.
15:28She's probably
15:29just pissed off Josh.
15:30Yeah, but it's working,
15:31because Ant would never
15:32have said yes to this.
15:36Hi, George.
15:37Hi, George.
15:38Hey, George,
15:39we got to pick up.
15:40We're not sure of the last name.
15:41We got a couple options,
15:42you know?
15:43What's up?
15:44I think it might be
15:45Hall or Ha.
15:46What's the other one?
15:47Anstead?
15:48Yeah.
15:49We don't know what it is.
15:50Just don't do El Moussa.
15:51Wait, what kind of material
15:52is that?
15:53Is that cement?
15:54It's a very nice tile.
15:55Can you show us a picture?
15:56I don't know
15:57if I have a picture handy.
15:58I will take a credit card,
15:59though.
16:00I'm not doing it.
16:01There's zero chance
16:02I'm putting my card in that
16:03unless I refuse.
16:04Good luck, guys.
16:05Thanks, George.
16:06How big do you think
16:07her bathroom is
16:08based on this?
16:09I mean,
16:10this is a ton of tile.
16:11Honey, honey,
16:12cut it open.
16:18That's the same as ours.
16:22Except this is actually
16:23nicer quality than ours.
16:24The reason she picked
16:25a higher quality
16:26is we're paying for it.
16:27Hello, this is our money.
16:28We bought this,
16:29and we bought ours.
16:30I'm not changing it.
16:31I mean, one of us
16:32is going to have to change.
16:34I do.
16:40I'm a give it
16:41all I got,
16:42can't quick, can't stop.
16:43I'm a beat, set it down,
16:44like, aye,
16:45you ain't coming in my house,
16:46drooling about
16:47what I'm about,
16:48you ain't taking
16:49nothing down this way.
16:50Gutting and rebuilding
16:51the primary suite
16:52has already hit my budget hard.
16:53But I have a chance
16:54to tie things up
16:55against Tarq and Heather
16:56this week,
16:57and I'm not about
16:58to pull back
16:59on my design choices.
17:00We're adding custom built-ins
17:01and a desk,
17:02wanted in the primary suite.
17:03And once we add my beautiful floor tile,
17:05this room is going to shine.
17:07All right, so punch list.
17:08Finish up the desk, the built-ins, the lime wash.
17:12The guys will be working for the evenings
17:13to be able to get it done, so.
17:15You've got to be getting a little bit bothered about how
17:18fast we have to do everything, and then Tarek calling
17:21you out on craftsmanship.
17:22Obviously, you do amazing work, and we always do amazing work.
17:25But that's why it's just been bothering you a little bit.
17:27It is.
17:28It's a challenge for us, and I'm
17:30always open for the challenges.
17:31But these have been, like, literally
17:33no time to do the challenge.
17:35And at the end of the project, we're
17:36going to have time to do finishing touches
17:38and to clean things up before we put it on the market.
17:40So I just thought, come on down, guys.
17:44God, speak of the devil.
17:45We have a delivery.
17:46Oh, no, they're here.
17:48Hello.
17:49Hey, what's up, second place?
17:50Good news is we got the tile.
17:52It was very expensive.
17:53And the bad news is we picked the exact same tile.
17:56What?
17:56So you have to change it.
17:57We're not changing ours.
17:58We're not.
17:59I'm not changing mine.
18:00Ours is installed.
18:01Cool.
18:01Our tile is not installed.
18:03But I love this tile.
18:05I based my whole design on this tile.
18:08So Christina, you've got to change.
18:10We're not changing it.
18:11So you guys have to.
18:12This is what we want.
18:13This is our advantage.
18:14I think it's either use the same tile
18:16and we figure it out, the judge will pick, or.
18:19I was thinking we can challenge each other
18:21to a hot sauce eating contest.
18:22She can't do it.
18:23I mean, I know he lost the last competition.
18:24I have acid reflux.
18:25Yeah, sure.
18:26Tarek is always turning everything into a competition.
18:28Even when Taylor was, like, five years old,
18:30he couldn't handle losing any board games to her.
18:32He would, like, actually get upset.
18:34Me and you.
18:36And the winner gets the eye, because I
18:37know you're two chickens.
18:38And he seems like he'll do anything.
18:40Oh, my god.
18:41So I can tell Michael, he's a little bit arrogant.
18:43He's a little cocky, thinks he's like a dude, right?
18:45I think man-to-man, eating hot sauce with no water, no milk,
18:49is the way to settle one of these disputes.
18:51Do you like spicy food?
18:52I do wear cowboy boots.
18:54I actually think you can take it.
18:55So today, later on?
18:56Yeah, in, like, three hours.
18:57Let's go.
18:58Well, should we just load the tile back up
19:00since we have to return?
19:00No!
19:02I think we should just keep it.
19:03They're not going to win.
19:04Give them their tile.
19:04What are you doing?
19:06We're going to have to return it anyways.
19:14Whoever wants something to drink first is out.
19:17What is this?
19:17So this is classic hot sauce.
19:20Oh, my gosh.
19:22This is for babies.
19:23How was that one?
19:24Oh, does it have any hot sauce on there?
19:26No.
19:26Why are you sweating, Tarek?
19:28Because it's hot.
19:29Do I have the air on?
19:30I would be OK to change the tile.
19:32I can find another beautiful floor tile.
19:34But at this point, I feel like it's
19:36going to be fun to watch Tarek be in a little bit of pain.
19:39This one's the last dab, it's called.
19:42Yeah, it looks like.
19:44That one's got a little kick to it.
19:45Are you hot? Are you sweating?
19:46Honey, she's getting in your head.
19:47Don't let her listen.
19:48You do have a little bit of sweat on your upper lip.
19:50You're sweating. You're great.
19:51Michael, how are you doing?
19:52That one is spicier, but it's not.
19:54Honey!
19:55He's doing better than you.
19:56Honey, what are you giving me shit for?
19:57You know how hot this stuff is?
19:59You dab.
20:00Dab.
20:00That's a lot, you guys.
20:02Go for it.
20:06Oh, my god.
20:07Really?
20:09Oh, that's got a different kick.
20:12Yeah.
20:13Michael?
20:13Yeah?
20:16It's real hot.
20:16How are we doing, guys?
20:17Who's giving in?
20:18Anyone want some milk?
20:20Tarek's turning a shade of purple right now.
20:22Michael, how are you doing?
20:23Are you giving in?
20:24Any milk?
20:25Michael, we need the tile.
20:27We need the tile.
20:27How do we feel, guys?
20:28I'm on fire right now.
20:30Oh, you're so effed on the next one.
20:33Which one is it?
20:34Oh, god.
20:35Oh, no.
20:46Oh, no.
20:47Which one is it?
20:48Oh, god.
20:52Oh, my god.
20:53Really?
20:54Oh, yeah.
20:55Are you OK?
20:56Dad?
20:57Wow.
20:57Oh, my god, that burns.
20:59Holy shit, it's hot.
21:00It's hot.
21:03Are you giving in?
21:03Any milk?
21:04No.
21:05I've got to drink this beer next.
21:06I thought this was the hottest hot sauces.
21:08It's officially a tie, which means
21:10we both get to use the tile.
21:11Honey?
21:13It's all your fault.
21:14There was no hotter sauce.
21:15Did you get your tile?
21:16Yeah, but so did Christina.
21:17Drink up.
21:18Drink.
21:19Go ahead.
21:19I don't need to.
21:20Oh, my god.
21:23The hot sauce challenge may have been a draw,
21:26but with less than a week left, the heat
21:27is still on to finish these rooms.
21:30Our custom desk is being made.
21:32We're installing the wall paneling.
21:34And best of all, our wallpaper is going up
21:36on the walls and the ceiling.
21:39In the bathroom, we're covering the drywall
21:41with fluted tile and waterproof wallpaper.
21:43So even though our floor tiles will be the same as Christina's,
21:46there will be plenty to make this space unique.
21:49Oh, my gosh, it looks good.
21:51The wallpaper is awesome.
21:52This is better than I even expected it.
21:54Look at that thing, the desk.
21:55The live edge.
21:56This, I mean, this is so neat.
21:58This is just so neat.
22:0030 inches is when you feel comfortable.
22:02This is perfect.
22:04So then we're doing the LED lights along that rail.
22:06OK, that's wow factor.
22:08Yes.
22:08That's wow factor.
22:09We are just so over budget.
22:10You love this?
22:11But we are wowing everywhere.
22:12What do you think about these lights?
22:19I think they kind of come out a little far, but.
22:21They're cute.
22:22I'd be a hater.
22:23You want to see the wow factor?
22:25Yeah, I'd love to see your wow factor.
22:29Wow.
22:31What are these, different options?
22:33So different options, and then they're
22:34going on all three windows.
22:36All right.
22:36Do you like this color?
22:37I like it.
22:39And then we have.
22:40Do this one, and I'll open this one.
22:42Ooh, this one kind of matches the wallpaper perfect.
22:45Look at that.
22:45I don't know yet.
22:46No, look how nice that is.
22:48Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
22:50I have say too.
22:51This is my house too.
22:52Fine, we'll go with that one.
22:55All right.
22:56I don't know how my mom's an engineer,
22:58and how my brain just does not fire like that.
23:02Let me help you with your task.
23:05OK, I want to clear coat the dust, because it has to cure.
23:08Big strokes, babe.
23:09Hold on.
23:11I think I put too much over here, and it's not coming up.
23:13Do a thin layer first, and if we need to go back.
23:15I know, but I already put too much over here now.
23:17Hold on.
23:19I'm working.
23:19Babe, we're rolling.
23:21There's a little cray-cray over there.
23:22No, that's fine.
23:23Aye, aye, aye.
23:25What does that look, level there?
23:26No.
23:27No.
23:28Go up.
23:29Up.
23:30It's going to be the one.
23:31Oh!
23:32OK, girl.
23:35Yeah, that looks pretty close.
23:36So I'm going to just start with, like, the actual pattern.
23:40Let's think about what Christina's going to do.
23:42Is she going to lay them like this,
23:43or is she going to do, like, a mismatched pattern?
23:47So you can do off circle, or you can do a regular circle.
23:53An oval.
23:55Or you can do a big circle.
23:58I feel like Heather's going to go with this one.
24:00See, originally, I thought I would like this.
24:01I don't like that now.
24:03It looks like a board game.
24:04Yeah, I think it should be more mismatched.
24:08Like that.
24:09That's really good.
24:10Oh, I like that.
24:11I hope she does the moon.
24:13I want to go with the weird one.
24:16Yeah.
24:17Like that.
24:18Look at this craftsmanship.
24:20Craftsmanship.
24:27We have 24 hours to pull this guest suite together,
24:30which is really, you know, just another way of saying we only
24:32have 24 more hours until we win again.
24:38This bedroom wasn't cheap, but seeing it come together
24:41makes me feel like it was worth every penny.
24:44Now, let's just hope that Ant feels the same way.
24:57Everything's in the bedroom, but I have
24:59stuff for the bathroom, too.
25:00And we need to hang the plants.
25:02The long one goes in the bathroom.
25:03I think it's right.
25:04The long one goes in the bathroom.
25:05Oh, no, no, no, no.
25:06What do you mean, no?
25:07That one goes on that side.
25:09This one goes on this side.
25:11I still don't believe she picked Ant as a judge.
25:14Three ex-husbands in one competition.
25:17I'm telling you, she thinks this is
25:18going to throw me off my game.
25:19That's why she did it.
25:20After Ant and Christina split, he changed.
25:23He reached out to me and vented to me.
25:25And over time, we actually started building a relationship.
25:28Honestly, I feel like our relationship with him
25:31has been way better than his and Christina's over the years.
25:38I just hope this doesn't backfire,
25:40this whole Ant situation.
25:43I swear, if Ant doesn't play fair.
25:45Hands down, women would love our design.
25:47With a man, I just don't know.
25:49It's not a masculine room.
25:57Hey, he just texted me.
25:58What did he say?
25:59The Brit judge is on the way.
26:01Stop the works.
26:02Incoming.
26:03OK.
26:04We should have put a picture of the queen in here.
26:06Oh.
26:13Oh, wow.
26:13Just come right in.
26:15I feel like as a judge, I have a warrant to enter.
26:17How are you doing?
26:18You all right?
26:18I'm good.
26:20This is not your space to be judging.
26:21I'm just going to take a little peek-see.
26:22Isn't that pretty?
26:24Yeah, but when are you going to start doing this room?
26:25Oh, shut it.
26:26Go upstairs.
26:27Follow me.
26:28All right.
26:29Here is the bedroom.
26:31Oh, my god.
26:32Oh, my god.
26:32Oh, my god.
26:33Oh, my god.
26:34Oh, my god.
26:35Oh, my god.
26:36Oh, my god.
26:36Oh, my god.
26:37Oh, my god.
26:38Oh, my god.
26:39Oh, my god.
26:40Oh, my god.
26:40Oh, my god.
26:41What?
26:44What?
26:52Ultimately, this is going to be a room that's
26:54used by guests or kids, so, you know?
26:57But not kids for this room.
26:58Yeah, this is, like, an older teen room.
27:01There's nothing kid-y about this.
27:02I don't design kids' rooms like kids.
27:04You don't even know that?
27:05You have to grow into them.
27:07This is a teenage room.
27:08OK, it's all coming back to me now.
27:11It's a little bit bossy.
27:12It's quite the balance.
27:14I'll show you the before.
27:15This is actually the least bad room in the house.
27:16This is this room.
27:17Oh, my god, you bought it with all this debris in it.
27:20Literally a floor to ceiling in trash.
27:21This was the cleanest room.
27:22Right, so you've done new windows.
27:24Built-ins.
27:25Oh, my gosh, you moved the lights.
27:26And then added these closet doors.
27:31Oh, wow, it's massive.
27:34That's really big.
27:35It's a great kids' room.
27:38You're trying to convince yourself it's a kids' room.
27:40It feels like an adult's room.
27:41Oh, right, this now makes it.
27:44Oh, that's some outrageous bribery right there.
27:47Oh, my god.
27:48But you're getting better at drawing.
27:52So one of the criteria is wow factor.
27:56And this is my wow factor, the fluting with the light.
28:01You don't want to make it straight, though.
28:04As a car builder, I'm obsessed with millimeter precision.
28:08The small details in here are really driving me crazy.
28:10Like?
28:12Well, the fact that the paint's missing in the corner there,
28:13the LED isn't straight.
28:14Make the effort to move the lights,
28:15but don't put them in the middle.
28:17The fact that the vent's not in the center
28:18is just a simple fix.
28:20Does it all need to be centered?
28:21That's the ergonomics of design.
28:22You want to have proportions and everything to line up.
28:25That's how cars are so brilliantly devised.
28:27This isn't a car.
28:28This is a guest bedroom in Carson.
28:30Honestly, I forgot how meticulous he was.
28:34There's a lot I want to say to him,
28:35but I'm holding back because I worry
28:38that if I say too much, he's not going to pick me.
28:40Can I see the bathroom?
28:41Come on.
28:41It's right here.
28:43And I don't want to admit it, but it's really lovely.
28:45Yeah, she's done a great job.
28:47I'm just giving her a bit of grief.
28:49You ready?
28:50Here you go.
28:51Guest bathroom.
28:57What's the standout for you?
28:59I don't really work like that, but I guess it would.
29:01I mean, I love the vanity a lot.
29:03I like the rounded edge.
29:04I like the counter.
29:05I like how the sink's incorporated in it.
29:08I like the brass finishes.
29:10You added this?
29:11Yeah.
29:12A little LED.
29:13Yep.
29:14How much was spent on these two rooms?
29:16That was $40,000.
29:16This was $26,000.
29:18You spent $66,000 on a guest room?
29:20Yeah, got a little bit ego between Tarek and I.
29:23Oh, you got sucked into the drama and the competition.
29:26I did.
29:27I know what's going on here.
29:27I did.
29:28This was not about flipping houses at all.
29:29It was about being Tarek and I.
29:30I started so strong, but then I lost two in a row
29:33because I wasn't spending enough money.
29:34I know this bedroom looked like one
29:36of the less messy bedrooms in this whole house.
29:39However, it smelled like urine.
29:41We had to completely replace all of the flooring and subfloor.
29:45The entire shower needed to be reframed.
29:47I had to add a window.
29:49I also added custom cabinets.
29:51I did lime wash.
29:52I did fluting.
29:53So yes, I did end up spending a lot of money.
29:56Yeah, I've seen enough.
29:57All right, are you going to head over there?
30:00I'm trying to work out whether it was an advantage to see
30:02this before Tarek and Heather's.
30:03It's kind of like that old adage,
30:05you save the best till last, I guess.
30:07Oh, is that what it is?
30:09So he definitely didn't take it easy on me.
30:11Honestly, I'm exhausted now.
30:12Like, I need a coffee or a nap or both.
30:18Welcome.
30:19Hi.
30:20Oh my god, it's like a proper construction site.
30:22Good to see you.
30:23Hey, buddy, how's it going?
30:24Hi, Ant.
30:25How are you?
30:26Very good.
30:27Take it all in.
30:29She has the same lights.
30:30No, she doesn't.
30:31She has the same lights in her house.
30:33There must be some sort of conspiracy going on.
30:35She probably copied me, to be honest.
30:37I mean, hello, I have been winning all the challenges.
30:40So does she tell you that we have the same bathroom floor
30:43for the space you're judging?
30:45They look alike, they talk alike,
30:47sometimes they design alike.
30:48And dress alike.
30:50Yeah.
30:51Weird.
30:52It's kind of weird.
30:54Is there someone landing on your roof?
30:55No, that's a car driving by.
30:59They come by once a month.
31:01Once a month.
31:02All right, so before we look at the room, why this house?
31:04How much was it?
31:05We ended up getting this house for $710,000.
31:07Started at $750,000, we got it down to $710,000.
31:10Classic Tarek.
31:10Off market.
31:12But here's the thing, when it's all said and done,
31:13we're going to probably spend, I hate to say it, about $400,000.
31:16You're dropping $400,000?
31:17By the time it's done, yeah.
31:19Let's show them the before.
31:20Can we show you real quick what we did?
31:22This is, oh my gosh, my nan's house.
31:26Remember this wallpaper here, because Heather's
31:27idea was to keep that, so we did.
31:29Not that exact wallpaper you'll see when you walk in the room.
31:31You wallpapered the ceiling.
31:33You'll see.
31:33I was a little nervous about it, but it came out pretty right.
31:36Let's let him walk in first and take it in.
31:42Isn't this a calming room?
31:44Don't you feel so relaxed?
31:45It's gorgeous.
31:46It's serene.
31:49You can't put wallpaper on ceilings, guys.
31:50But you can, and look how good it looks.
31:52You really don't like it.
31:53He doesn't like it.
31:53No, I don't.
31:54I think that's terrible.
31:55Oh no, you don't like the wallpaper?
31:57Wallpaper is back in.
31:58Textured walls are back in.
31:59Accent walls are back in.
32:01Notice you don't say wallpapered ceilings are back in.
32:03No point in human existence should anybody
32:06put wallpaper on ceilings.
32:08It's calming.
32:08It's not like it's bold in your face,
32:10but it's something special that when a buyer walks in,
32:12they're like, wow, I've never seen this before.
32:14Brownie points for taking it.
32:16I didn't have to use it.
32:17They were never in.
32:18Yes, it is.
32:19This room had wallpaper on this ceiling.
32:21Don't argue with me.
32:22I can argue with whatever I want to argue with.
32:24This is our design.
32:26What do you think about the wood slats hanging plants?
32:29Why are the slats in the corner?
32:31So let's just say, you know.
32:33Oh my god, he's like a used car salesman.
32:37Let's just say, you know, you have a sixth grader.
32:39I have so much homework to do.
32:40What are we going to do?
32:41I have no desk.
32:42But you do.
32:44You have your desk.
32:45So your intention is that this room is to be
32:47angled towards a sixth grader.
32:49Because nothing in this room screams young kids room.
32:53He's lucky I'm not screaming.
32:55Seriously, I'm being judged by my ex-wife's ex-husband
32:58on our design.
33:00Like, in what world does a man have to endure this?
33:04And I just have to sit here and take
33:05it because he's the judge.
33:06In England, we don't have wallpaper.
33:08This room is a winner.
33:12Why did you put the LED in?
33:13It's just a little bit of a wow factor.
33:14So let's say you guys had another $10,000.
33:17OK.
33:18How and if would you spend it?
33:19In the shampoo niche, we would have done custom lights.
33:21So it lights.
33:22Feels like something that Christina would have done.
33:23No, no, I don't think she does light up shampoos.
33:26We've actually.
33:26That's our thing.
33:28All right, let's see the bathroom.
33:30OK.
33:35It's so weird.
33:36You have the same floor tile.
33:37Yeah.
33:38You also have the same.
33:40It's a different mirror, but it's the same style mirror.
33:42No way.
33:43Yeah, it like, it looks like.
33:44Are you serious?
33:45But here's the question, though.
33:46That tile can be laid in like 10 different patterns.
33:49What pattern did she do?
33:50I'm not going to tell you.
33:51All right, so what can you tell us?
33:52Nothing.
33:53OK.
33:55Remember the two windows?
33:57So we got eliminated those, created the one window.
34:00Texture, custom lighting.
34:02I really like that.
34:03The wallpaper.
34:05Quality work.
34:06It is.
34:06You guys have done a great job.
34:09With Heather, we're pretty much building semi-custom homes now.
34:12So it's a different quality.
34:14So you do think you've spent too much money?
34:18OK, yeah, maybe a little.
34:20OK, like realistically, probably like, you know,
34:2350, 75 grand more than we probably should.
34:27But if we ended up selling this at 1.5, which I do
34:29believe we have a shot at 1.5, that's a really good spread.
34:34Because the break-even is going to be about 1-1.
34:35Do you guys feel like you've won?
34:38I mean, we did until the judge came over.
34:39It's good.
34:40Yeah, yeah.
34:41I will see you.
34:42I will see you.
34:43We'll see you soon.
34:43Are we going back to Christina's house?
34:44We are.
34:45In a little bit.
34:46I will see you there.
34:47I'll see you guys back at court at Christina's.
34:51Now I'm like, for reals nervous.
34:52I wasn't nervous before.
34:53They put on this like, straight face,
34:55like you just don't know.
34:56I told you not to do the wallpaper.
34:59Shut up.
35:08Hi.
35:09Anything to drink?
35:11I will just have a Yorkshire tea with a splash of cold milk.
35:14I don't know if I have tea.
35:15You're raising a British boy.
35:16If you don't have tea, there's problems.
35:19I have calming, throat comfort, breathe deep, or matula.
35:23I'll have water.
35:24I'm in trouble.
35:26Christina.
35:27What?
35:28I think you might need a new front doormat.
35:30My last name would be an H, not a what, mofo?
35:32Oh, damn.
35:33That's too long.
35:34Not for long.
35:35How are you?
35:36I'm good.
35:36How you guys doing?
35:37Oh, thank you.
35:38You got me a water.
35:39No, not for you.
35:40You're on water.
35:40Right.
35:41So are you bothering him, or what?
35:43Your presence just being around him is bothering him.
35:45Look.
35:46No, he's fine.
35:47I have a question.
35:48How is this situation?
35:49Oh, it's fucked.
35:50All right, once you guys stop flirting with each other,
35:52let's get into it.
35:53Because we're here to do a job.
35:55I'm just an innocent victim.
35:57I just sit here, and she abuses me.
35:58We are both innocent victims of this.
36:00So we should get all of us together and start a boy band.
36:02Oh, my god.
36:04Stop flirting.
36:05So yeah.
36:06Now you're really going to be in trouble
36:07if you keep using that word.
36:09Now, I made some notes in the car,
36:10because we are judging based on six categories.
36:14Category one is around the overall design.
36:17It feels like you and you collaborated,
36:21because you guys are so weirdly connected,
36:23you don't even realize.
36:24The similarity between your projects is wild to me.
36:27Did you know that you guys bought the same sconce lights?
36:30Exactly the same lights.
36:31But there was loads of other weird similarities.
36:34Like, in a world of available tiles,
36:36like, I imagine there's millions of tiles.
36:38You guys chose the same tile.
36:39You both did that odd-shaped mirror,
36:42but yours was brass-rimmed, yours was black-rimmed.
36:44I mean, they both have great taste.
36:46Oh, god.
36:47Questionable.
36:48So when it comes to the first category,
36:50overall design work, you guys draw.
36:55Did you say draw?
36:56It has to be.
36:57You can't do that.
36:57I'm sorry, I'm the judge. I can do what I like.
36:59All right, that's fine.
37:00Oh, we're screwed. We are so screwed.
37:09Next category was the quality of the work.
37:11Your AC vent drove me crazy. It really, really did.
37:14The removing of the lights drove me crazy.
37:16So unfortunately for the quality of the work, it's you guys.
37:21So that's one, zero.
37:23Okay.
37:24Next up category was how you guys used the space.
37:27You made loads of structural changes in the house.
37:30You added a wall, you added a bathroom, created arches.
37:34Whereas Christina,
37:35you worked within the space you were given.
37:39You were the best use of the space.
37:41Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
37:42Why did we lose this one?
37:43I'll tell you why,
37:44because one of the hardest things to do
37:45is to maximize the space in which you're given,
37:48and Christina did it without altering it.
37:49Oh, but we altered it, making it like, you know,
37:52extra special.
37:53No, a more seasoned house flipper
37:56would have worked with what they had
37:57and save the money on building extra rooms.
37:59Oh, cut scene.
38:01I differ on that.
38:01Big, big time.
38:03All right, we'll give her one.
38:03We'll give her one.
38:04The fourth category, which is about added value.
38:06Who added the most value?
38:08Tarek, you kept saying this is gonna sell for 1.5.
38:11And I mean, I hope it does for you.
38:12I don't believe it will.
38:14How can we have a conversation and judge on value
38:16when we haven't sold the house?
38:18So I'm passing, it's a draw.
38:20What?
38:21Oh my God, it's amazing.
38:23Well, how much did she spend on her space?
38:25The thing about the value of a house
38:26is it's only valued by what somebody is willing to pay.
38:29Wow factor.
38:30Now, the wow factor's interesting
38:32because you both did the same wow factor.
38:33No, what?
38:35You both put LEDs in the room at the same height.
38:38Stop it.
38:39But this isn't a draw.
38:41Do you remember saying you had a conversation
38:43about putting it in that little cubby hole in the shower?
38:46Why didn't you?
38:47Budget.
38:49Christina's did go into the shower.
38:50So Christina wins that one.
38:51Wow.
38:52Even with the desk.
38:53So at the moment, there's been two draws.
38:57Two points for you, one point for you.
38:58And this is the sixth and final category.
39:00So the final category is transformation.
39:03Your before pictures were remarkable.
39:06And actually yours wasn't dissimilar.
39:09The framing of the house, the way it sits within the street.
39:12You changed walls, you added arches,
39:14you incorporated sliding doors.
39:16So unfortunately, the biggest transformation is you guys.
39:21No.
39:21Wait, so that's a tie.
39:22Oh no.
39:23Judge.
39:24I've already got this solution for the tie.
39:26Hold on, he has a solution.
39:29You know, ultimately when I came into this endeavor
39:32thinking this was about assessing and judging
39:36based on the performance, the design,
39:39the execution, the house.
39:41But actually it dawned on me
39:43that it was so much more than that.
39:44Hudson's five now, and in those five years,
39:48it's been really, really difficult.
39:50And that changed three months ago.
39:54And the relationship that we have now
39:57is really, really important.
39:59And it's been a transformation.
40:01You know, it took, as parents,
40:03it took us four and a half years to get to that point,
40:06which is really shameful.
40:07You and I will be connected forever because we have a kid.
40:10So ultimately, I have to stand by the mother
40:15of my kid.
40:16And it's not gonna be something that you wanna hear
40:18because, what's going on?
40:20Unfortunately, it puts Christina and me
40:22in the same team forever.
40:23And because of that, this judge is swayed.
40:25She's on my team and you guys lose.
40:27Wait a minute, you said a draw, you said a draw.
40:29My parents raised me in a way that says
40:31when you know your family, you stick with your family.
40:33Regardless of rules, regardless of performance.
40:36When I left the house this morning,
40:37Christina had already won.
40:39Oh, come on.
40:41Yeah, man.
40:42Wait, hold on, where are you going, bro?
40:45Hey, let's talk about this.
40:45So now we're ex-husbands, how about that?
40:47Hi, Tan, love you, honey.
40:48Your mom's cheating, by the way.
40:49Tell your dad to chill out.
40:51You ever wanna watch your dad at a judging?
40:52He acts like a freak.
40:54Because they have a kid together,
40:56that's the only reason why.
40:57Yeah, something about the way he was raised
40:59and I don't know.
41:00All right, guys, hey, you wanna go in there?
41:01What's the tiebreaker?
41:03We have to have a tie, no, we have to have a,
41:04this is your house, you can't buy me.
41:05I'm taking the kids with you.
41:06We have to have a tiebreaker.
41:07Taylor!
41:08Hey, I have those boots.
41:09Yeah, I know, we have a lot of same style.
41:11It's okay, we knew.
41:12This is war.
41:13Oh my God, this is chaos.
41:15Oh my God, you have no idea.
41:16Come this way.
41:17Feeling very scammed at the moment.
41:18We knew it was gonna be like that, we already said.
41:20Nobody knows it'd be like that, come on, man.
41:21Yes, we do, we talked about it.
41:23All that stuff is really true.
41:24Unbelievable.
41:25That's really creepy.
41:26Yeah, yeah, it's really weird.
41:27It's almost like you guys collaborated on it.
41:28What?
41:29The house is at the nearest.
41:31We didn't really lose.
41:31We lost because of, they have a child together.
41:35Like, that's not, he didn't really do his job,
41:37let's just be honest.
41:38It's in a better location, they've done better mods.
41:40But what this has done is it's given you a fighting chance.
41:42Despite the way it happened, I won.
41:45My plan paid off, and at the same time,
41:48I was able to get some insight from Anne
41:50on what exactly it is that Tariq and Heather
41:52are doing over there.
41:53You've basically got two more challenges
41:56to pull it out of the bag.
41:58But you need to up your game a bit.
42:01Appreciate you.
42:04Next, on the flip off.
42:06Well, well, well.
42:07You get to pick the next room.
42:08I feel like backyard should be last.
42:10Let's just do the extra rooms
42:11that we haven't started in the house.
42:13Does she have a laundry room space?
42:15Does she have another bathroom?
42:16We should just go look at her house.
42:17There's no way we're gonna be able to get in there.
42:19What's wrong?
42:20What's that open window?
42:22The house is actually nicer
42:23than I thought it would be.
42:24I'll carry it for you, Mark.
42:25This looks broken.
42:27We cannot let one light kill our chances of winning.
42:30So, who's the judge?
42:31You know this judge.
42:33Jeff Lawrence.
42:34That's really in your direction.
42:36I haven't worked with him in years.
42:37He was one of the first contractors
42:38and one of the first started flipping houses.
42:40Can we level up and make it more fun?
42:43Can we also add Izzy?
42:45I've worked with Izzy for over a decade.
42:46He's probably gonna be a pretty harsh judge.
42:49This is not gonna function.
42:50Not functional.
42:52Oh my God.
42:53Too matchy-matchy.
42:54This is all business, not personal.
42:57Oh, it's all personal.
42:58What are you talking about?
42:59So, the tiebreaker.
43:01Last category.
43:02Like, just give me the answer, please.
43:03We gave that to...
