She is a train wreck. Sad part is..she keeps having kids and then dragging then through her chaotic life. Kids aren’t even tweens and now will have been through 2 divorces. She is selfish and in need of some serious counseling.

How much more stable?

He has had the police called on him while claiming he was just out hunting with his gun. At night. He has a new fiancé that is the spitting image of his ex.

Neither seem more stable than the other.

Did Christina meet Ant in California? Was he on vacation or had he moved to CA? Missing his other kids seems like a weak excuse. I got a bad vibe with Ant, showing up on Christina’s show and creating a wack lighting fixture for one of her clients. I think he is the want-a-be STAR.

One redeeming quality of Christina is watching her with her girlfriend from high school that she meets for coffee and redid a few rooms for. Lifelong friendships are the extreme opposite of the typical Housewive’s shows.

I don't think that's what happened, PP. And Tarek seems much more stable than Christina.

If she were not a "hot blonde" I think she would have nobody. She always seems dissatisfied to me and yes, flat, dull and un-enthusiastic. I get the sense she is high-maintenance and a perfectionist and the effort to look like that is a lot of work.

Yes. Her ex-husband was definitely the more relatable and dynamic of the 2 of them. I always felt like she detracted from "Flip or Flop" rather than adding to it.

I disagree. Many of Christina's design ideas were the primary reason the houses sold. She has really good design instinct. I think people wrote her off as useless because of the way she looks, and maybe a little envy on the part of the viewer. However, in many of the episodes, she was spot on with her judgements.

I liked her and Tarek together. They moved on too fast. I also like Ant but knew it wouldn't work.

Seriously? I don't dislike her, but her "good design instinct" was to leave all of their flips awash in generic gray and white finishes. That's all. Anyone, literally anyone, can do that.

Yeah, you would think. However, I’ve been in people’s homes where they picked/renovated. Most people have absolutely no style and cannot pick attractive finishes. White and grey are clean. They make the spaces appear lighter and larger. People tend to pick browns and think it looks good. It doesn’t.

DP. I agree with the other PP. Christina has appallingly bad taste and towards the end with Tarek it seemed like she was getting really extreme with some of her choices just to cause a fight. On the other hand, I love watching Tarek on Flipping 101. It is a great show and I am really enjoying it!

I like Tarek, too. He has an easy way about him.

Why am I not surprised that the women of DCUM prefer the unattractive man who walked into the woods with a gun screaming like a nut over the attractive, petite blonde wife.

It's nice to see clueless wannabes getting smacked down, although I realize that is not a gracious feeling.

Christina's voice always irritated me. His is fine. I am not in love with her design choices, but maybe that's a California thing? I also thing that people in the business like to to do whatever the current trend is because they're expecting to remodel every decade or so.

I got the impression Cristina barely tolerated Tarek, but he seemed so in love with her.

Agree with this. But why did she have so many babies?

There can be a real high and a kind of narcissism inherent in having babies.

It’s also exciting to have a whirlwind courtship, then the excitement of a wedding, then the excitement of a new baby. But eventually excitement fades and you’re in day to day life, and it gets boring or tedious and annoying.

Hmm, based on this information, they both seem messy, selfish, and lacking in emotional maturity. Why people feel it's acceptable to jump from one situation into another with no time taken to mend prior obligations is beyond me. Marriage and kids isn't a high school breakup. When there are kids involved, you can't just jump from house to house.

And to think they had the kids in blended "family" photos smiling so soon after their prior homes had been upended. Super selfish.

He was quirky and endearing and seemed, on the show, to be more in love with her than she was with him (of course it's just a show so who knows?). They were an interesting couple, a good choice for a show.
