Let’s talk about something interesting. Christina Haack, formerly known as Christina Hall, made her big return to HGTV with season two of "Christina in the Country." But here’s the twist: she wasn’t alone. Her now estranged husband, Josh Hall, joined her right there in the premiere episode, which aired on Tuesday, November 12. Now, this show isn’t just about flipping houses; it’s about life, relationships, and the challenges that come with them.
From the very first scene, we’re brought into the world of Christina and Josh, sitting in what was once their shared home in California. Josh, always the smoothie enthusiast, hands one over to Christina in the kitchen. “Maybe I should open a smoothie shop,” he jokes, with that signature charm of his. “Tell me how delicious it is.” And Christina? She doesn’t miss a beat. “It’s good,” she replies, but then drops a bombshell: she has some “good news.”
Now, let’s unpack this moment. Christina, ever the visionary, shares her plans for Tennessee. “I know how much you love Tennessee,” she says to Josh, and it’s clear she’s tapped into something special. “I’ve gotten some inquiries lately, and a few of them are really good. So, I feel like it’s time we got back there, start some new projects, meet new families, and work with new contractors.” It’s a bold move, and it sets the tone for the entire episode.

Tennessee Adventure Awaits
The duo travels to Tennessee, and the journey is just as captivating as the destination. Christina meets with a new client, and then she joins Josh for a memorable car ride—with a chicken perched comfortably on her lap. “It’s a great opportunity to make some money,” Christina says, her eyes lighting up with excitement. This little detail about the chicken adds a quirky charm to their dynamic, making it clear that life with Christina and Josh is never dull.
First Impressions Matter
When they meet with the realtor to check out the property, Josh introduces the chicken as their “new assistant.” Now, this house isn’t your typical flip—it’s a 13,000-square-foot property with only two bedrooms and one bathroom, and there’s a creek running right behind it. Christina, ever the perfectionist, remarks that it’s a bit “small.” Josh, on the other hand, jokes about it feeling like “grandma just moved out” due to its retro vibe. But, as they explore the house, Josh leans on the bathroom sink, which promptly comes loose from the cabinets below. “Oh wow, it’s really secured well,” Christina quips, her humor never failing to shine through.
Despite its quirks, Christina sees the potential. “Although this house is small and dated, there’s a lot of potential here,” she says in a confessional. “If we want to put in an offer, we have to act fast. Josh and I have a big decision to make.” It’s a moment that highlights the tension and excitement of flipping a house—especially when you’re doing it with someone you’re no longer together with.
Decisions, Decisions
They head to a nearby restaurant to discuss whether they should buy and flip the house. Josh is optimistic. “I think it’s got great bones. It’s in a great area. We walked right here,” he explains. “This is one small street with all this cool stuff around. There’s only so many houses around it. We have the opportunity to remodel one of them and sell it right around here.”
Christina, ever the planner, reveals her vision of turning the small property into a three-bedroom, four-bathroom home. Josh is understandably surprised by her ambitious plan. She’s ready to invest $250,000 into the project and aims to sell it for $900,000. They make an offer on the house at $450,000, hoping to pocket a $200,000 profit after the flip. It’s a bold move, and it speaks to their shared expertise in the real estate world.
Of course, this episode was filmed before Christina and Josh’s very public split. Both filed for divorce in July, with Josh listing their date of separation as July 8, while Christina listed it as July 7. Since then, they’ve addressed the drama surrounding their breakup on social media and have continued to battle it out in court over their assets. But for that one episode, they managed to put their differences aside and focus on what they do best—flipping houses.
