The Shocking Turn of Events on ‘Christina on the Coast’
This episode started off like any other, with Amy and Scott sharing their vision for their home, aiming to make it more suitable for their family of five. Christina was thrilled to take on the challenge alongside her design partner, James Bender. The couple had a clear idea of what they wanted, and Christina was ready to bring their dreams to life. But as it turned out, things didn't go quite as planned.
One of the key projects that Amy and Scott had in mind was revamping the fireplace in one of their home's rooms. Christina was confident she could complete the task for under $3,000. She even planned to present tile samples to the couple, hoping to breathe new life into the fireplace. But then something unexpected happened.

As the days went by, Amy and Scott decided to hire another person to work on the fireplace without consulting Christina or James. When Christina and James arrived to check on the project's progress, their faces said it all—shock and disbelief. “What the what?” Christina exclaimed. “It looks so different in here. When did this happen? How did this happen?” Scott responded, “And why are you doing our job?”

Amy explained their reasoning behind bringing in additional help. "So, I have some contacts with tile guys," she said. "It just so happened he stopped by, gave us a bid, and then he was like, 'Can I start at 4 o’clock on Saturday afternoon?' And I said, 'OK.'”
Not only did Amy and Scott hire someone else for the fireplace, but they also picked tiles for their mini bar without consulting Christina or James. Viewers at home were flabbergasted by the couple's decisions. One fan expressed their feelings on HGTV’s Instagram page after the episode aired in June 2023. "I was shocked and appalled that the homeowners had designers and contractors working in their home and went behind their backs on a job that they already asked Christina’s input about, and had it done by a different guy," they wrote.

Her message was clear: open lines of communication are essential for a successful renovation project.
