HGTV's Christina Haack (formerly Hall) and her ex-husband, realtor Josh Hall, were originally supposed to be partners on the HGTV competition series The Flip Off, but it was revealed that she had replaced him for the series.
On the January 28 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, Christina Haack said she felt that she had an "advantage" because she didn't have her ex-husband on set filming with and collaborating with her during the competition series.
"I mean, I don't have to ask approval from anyone, no one's, like, weighing me down," Christina Haack shared on the American Idol alum's talk show. Christna Haack and her now ex-husband, Josh Hall, had originally been announced to be paired up for The Flip Off in May 2024, two months before the two of them announced their divorce.
The series premiere featured the announcement that the two of them had split and although Josh Hall appeared in the first episode of the new competition series, he was removed from all the promotion material for the series by HGTV later in 2024 and he was replaced as Christina Haack's partner in the series.
On January 29, fans finally got to see who was replacing Josh Hall on The Flip Off during the series premiere.
