Some people really have a "lock them down" mentality and it dos not serve them well. It's ok to just date, get to know someone, live with them first? Or even better, just chill by yourself, maybe get a lil therapy and soul seeking and know what your hard lines are in a relationship. Our socity puts so much emphasis on being coupled up while it's perfectly okay to be alone instead of dealing with BS.
I have a soft spot for her (partially because Tariq was such a prick) but she has an inability to be alone, and you need that time. Go garden, visit S. America again and lick more toads. Just be by yourself!

It is not that scary, people are so scared of being alone and not being in a relationship that they don't have a time to mourn a relationship that has finished. They don't get time to reflect on what happened, if it was a good thing or a bad thing, are you hiding having to work on yourself, instead they go from relationship to relationship just because someone shows some interest in you, unfortunately Christina is dragging her kids into these relationships and it's not healthy for them.

Battle on the Beach - yay, it's over. I've never seen mentors ignored like the teams did this season. I was starting to really feel bad for all three of them. Not surprised by the winning team, I figured that's who would take the win. At least their house looked like a beach house and not some dark thrift store mess (Ty) or poorly done mess (Alison). I don't get having deck firepits on a windy beach, nor building a "swing" that bumped into the house and couldn't, you know, swing. Or benches that faced away from the nice ocean view. Antique mantels sitting on top of cheap electric fireplaces. Or grills smashed right up on raw wood because we all know wood doesn't catch fire, right? Special mention to Alison's black electrical tape word art, because that house really needed something tacky on the walls. Maybe they should just stop with the amateur flippers and go with pro teams if they insist on doing another season of this.

I liked the old cuckoo clock and antique chairs. A good designer could have incorporated them without the eye-rolling and other nonsense. I snipped this from a blind gossip site. Three guesses as to who they're talking about... Well it has been three years since they married, time for the divorce.
Seriously, the woman needs to stop marrying the guys she is dating.
She needs to mourn the marriage for about 6 months and date NO ONE and get some therapy.
Here you go .... its official. Divorce is in the works for Christina and Josh.

Well, that is just sad, especially for the children. It's been a revolving door of men the past few years. If she doesn't take stock, she's well on her way to becoming the Elizabeth Taylor of home design.

Mina: here's a bunch of family drama...
Christina: hold my beer!
So the rumors were true. I'm sad for the kids, that's three divorces in what, six years? That's not a stable home. They've filed dueling divorce petitions, there's no prenup, he wants spousal support and Josh is asking the court to grant him all rights to any HGTV stuff they produced during their marriage...and they have a new show coming out next year with Tarek and Heather. Can they edit him out?
This will be messy.

Yes they can edit stuff out.
Marriages:
Tarek El Moussa (m. 2009; div. 2018) Ant Anstead (m. 2018; div. 2021) Joshua Hall (m. 2022; div. July. 2024)
At least Tarek waited a while before he remarried. Christina just seems to be rebounding and rebounding.

Battle on the Beach Season 4, Episode 7 - Finale Shell-ebration - July 15, 2024
90 minute episode. The outside of the cottages were done. Then all the teams were given 8 hours the next day to fix items they missed during the various episodes. They showed the appraisers coming into the cottages and give their final appraisals to the judges.
My two cents. This season sucked. The format sucked. The builds sucked. I felt sorry for Allison as her team did not listen to her. Allison's team had horrid time management. Did not listen. Could not space plan out of a wet paper bag and did not have a sense of style, or layering.
Ty's team at least listened to him. I hated the Team Ty cottage and wish it had burned down. Three fire places in a beach cottage that people use in the summer. Has anyone noticed how hot it is lately in the USA?
Team Taniya, the best crafted, the best space planning, the best style of the three teams.
The outside appearance. All three homes needed to be painted. Some of the built ins were ridiculous. The after pictures posted in a previous post shows all three homes had showers put in, not just Team Ty's. The plants were ridiculous who is going to water them? Are you really going to leave a grill on a wood deck with a bunch of drunk vacationers? Really most people do not want to cook on vacation. They go out to eat breakfast or brunch and have a late dinner. Nowadays they will also Doordash and Uber.
Are you really going to have a firepit on a wood deck? With drunk vacationers. The best you will get is a shower, and some chairs. This is a stupid challenge.
Team Taniya won. It made sense.

Team Taniya house = $788,750 increased value by 47% - Winners
Team Ty house = $721,700 start value
Team Allison house = $851,900 start value
The other two homes increased their value by 25% and 31.34%, the judges did not say which home increased their value by what.

Seriously, women making bucks on these shows really need to be careful. Not saying this is happening here but it seems to be a long con to get with a reality tv celeb, stay with them a few years, then file for divorce and cry broke and ask for spousal support. I'm not saying that Christina is a walk in the park to deal with, but he saw her coming.

I can't believe she didn't have a prenup for a third marriage. She has a high net worth, while Josh...hm.

No prenup was a big mistake. The bigger mistake is mistaking a dating relationship with a marriage. The only ones I feel sorry for are the two older kids. They are going to or already have lost all respect for their mom. While I don't like Tarek as he is arrogant and cocky, he at least has been consistent in his parental style and it looks like he didn't bring in too many different women into their lives.
Do I think Ant used Christina? No, that was a rebound relationship. I wonder who rushes the marriage question?
Do I think Josh used Christina? Yes, getting that vibe.
Is Christina showing some very poor judgement? Absolutely.

And that Bachelorette was a lawyer, she should have known better. He turned out to be trash.

Notice that Christina is in a different house like every 18 months, spends way to much to renovate it, then has to sell it because of a divorce, a marriage, COVID Lockdown, COVID being over, now another divorce. Constantly on the move like that is not healthy for the kids or bank account.
Does California limit the greed amount as the marriage was only 3 yrs long?
The beauty of this is that the Christina fans will go after Josh on Social Media. Let the daggers fly. This will be fun.
Her divorces from Tarek and Ant were at least somewhat friendly, weren't they?

I remember some mess with a gun and him possibly being suicidal that made her finally say "I'm done" with Tarek, but they're on much better terms now.
Her split from Ant was pretty cordial.

I think the longest relationship she has had with a man besides Tarek, is James her designer. James was there when she was married to both Ant and Josh, so that is at least 6 years.

I know a lot of folks don't like Allison but her Team, especially the male consistently disrespected and simply refused to listen to her advice. It was painful.
You could feel Taniya's pain when her team didn't listen to her.
Ty seemed to have the best relationship with the two girls.
I will say I "hated" the Team Ty cottage with a passion. Hated the colors, hated mixing raw wood with white globe and gold chandelier, hated the fireplaces, hated the poor workmanship. Their double outdoor shower only had cold water. That is nasty even on a really hot day.
If you ever watched Bargain Beach House Renovation, no one ever puts fireplaces into these homes. The swings and fire pits and grills are not on the deck. If one more judge suggests a screen on the deck for privacy I will scream. You are on a public beach, you are there for the view.

Suggestions: Sarah Richardson is doing a YouTube series called Sarah's Island Rescue.
This is how a cottage renovation should be done not that disaster of a Beach Battle that HGTV produced.
Yes, there is a fireplace but this cottage is on an island up in Ontario, Canada it can get cold up there.

Bit greedy...you think?
Can't wait for her bitch sessions on her podcast about the limited series.
So who is worse? Christina or Mina?

Christina on the Coast Season 5 Episode 2
OMG Christina has WOW'ed again. A color palette of warm blond wood floors and kitchen cabinets, with white walls, white bath tile, black storage cabinets, black bath vanities, and black and gold lights. What's not to like. This women is so innovative there are just no words.

I think Christina is relatively harmless. Mina needs to learn not everything needs to be shared publicly and get some good therapy or something.
I am wondering if she got her million though, because in all honesty Good Bones was extremely popular and HGTV can easily afford it, especially for a limited series. Pay the ladies!

Christina on the Coast - I laughed when I saw how little that mooch Josh was on the episode. Like, 5 seconds of screen time. Typical white/black/light wood stuff. It was fine. I didn't love the long, skinny closet but there wasn't much else they could do there. I think I prefer regular shaker doors over the micro shaker, mainly just because I don't like the pulls/handles on the panel part of the door. And I'm glad they didn't touch the hall baths, there was nothing wrong with them! No need to waste that money. I did love the white pearly-shiny Zellige tile for the backsplash. The fluted tile in the shower was pretty. but all I could think about was how to clean it. I guess a sturdy brush.

I think that is probably a much better plan despite the fact they were going to be on the new show together. Does anyone remember how badly Tarek treated Christina as they continued to film "Flip or Flop"? Christina was dating Ant and she was verrrrrrry happy while Tarek was miserable and it showed in every episode making viewing of "Flip or Flop" not one bit enjoyable.

Does anyone remember how badly Tarek treated Christina as they continued to film "Flip or Flop"? Christina was dating Ant and she was verrrrrrry happy while Tarek was miserable and it showed in every episode making viewing of "Flip or Flop" not one bit enjoyable.I actually enjoyed those episodes, both Tarek and Christina threw insults. Tarek was so jealous Christina found someone (Ant) so quickly. It really bothered his ego.
Tarek at least did some work on himself. Yes, he did the crazy beauty therapies, and got himself a stylist. He does look a bit weird trying to dress like a hip hop rapper. He did find out that he had a gluten intolerance and switching his diet seemed to help his temperament A LOT. While I find his new wife Heather a bit plastic, and a physical duplicate of Christina, the woman can't design at all. However, during that filmed getting ready for the marriage limited series that Tarek and Heather did, at least he seemed happy with her.
Christina needs to take a 2 year break and not get married, not date, go to therapy, maybe wait until the oldest kid graduates from high school before dating again.
Maybe this is karma, Christina really scoffed at her parents remodel, and her mom's antiques. This is what happens when you disrespect your parents. HA HA!
PS: Both Tarek and Christina need to get over this stupid competition between themselves. It just brings misery to themselves and to everyone around them.
