Remember that time “Flip or Flop” actually flopped? Probably not, because it literally happened just once.
Tarek and Christina El Moussa lost money only one time over seven seasons of shooting the HGTV fan-favorite. The disaster took place way back in Season 3. The setting: Buena Park, Calif. And it wasn’t even that big of a loss, really.
On the series’ 38th overall episode titled “Big Lot, Little Flip,” the El Moussas ended up taking a $3,300 bath on a project lead by contractor Jeff Lawrence. Ironically, that’s about the price of a clawfoot bathtub on the popular TV show.
