Re: Wow! I am shocked. Christina and Tarek from Flip or Flop

It has nothing to do with their being in Southern California. It's too bad when parents split but honestly I never could stand either one of them. Watched a few times and that was it.

Her "vocal fry" voice drives me insane so I don't watch many episodes.  I hope they can work our their problems and stay together, if possible.

They have been under fire for bait and switch for their expensive flipping classes.  Some of these classes cost $20,000.  You pay for the class, then they want to sell additional products and "personal help".  They don't show up for appearances, and don't refund the money.  People have gone bankrupt with their ponzi scheme.

I liked him but disliked her so I only watched a couple of times.

That is very sad news.  I hope they can take a moment to think about all the changes they have experienced over the past few years, and realize they may need to take a bit off of their schedules and focus on family.

 

It shouldn't be all about fixing, selling and profit.

 

I wondered about the comment Tarek made at an ultrasound visit.  He said, that was a 30 something wait to see his child in her belly.  Isn't Taylor his daughter?

 

I believe he had thyroid cancer.

I am stunned, but not shocked.  Happens so easily in So CA and with the people on television. 

I so enjoy the show and the ideas that are shared. 

I want the show to continue but usually when there's a separation, the shows come to an end.

I can understand the entertainment industry thing, but what does Southern California have to do with anything?   The divorce rate hovers around 50% all  over the country!

I wonder if having the second baby was them trying to save their marriage. 

 

The children deserve to live in a stable home, even if it's two seperate homes.

@Tinkrbl44@CANDLEQUEEN Well, to begin with, here in So Ca women compete and financially and socially climb.  It's done especially in the OC where the couple is living.  Sounds shallow but it's very real.

Why would someone give two TV people $20K in cash for a class?

Hmm .... I live in the Los Angeles area and really don't see what you're saying to be the norm.   I can't speak to what you see in OC, or the people you socialize with.
