The Flip Off was intended to be a house-flipping competition series between Haack and her then-husband, Josh Hall, and her ex-husband Tarek and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa. However, Haack and Hall split early into filming, and the latter exited the show, which viewers saw play out during Wednesday’s premiere.
