HGTV's Flipping El Moussas Finale: Leftover Chic, Pending Permits, and a Side of Pleather

Besties, grab your drink of choice—because we are flipping out (again)! This week, we’re closing the book on The Flipping El Moussas Season 2 finale, and spoiler alert: no one saves the tub.

From a rock-paper-scissors house purchase to stolen plumbing, pleather pants, and patchwork design made entirely of leftover finishes, Tarek and Heather’s latest project had us wondering—was this a flip or a fridge-clean-out surprise casserole?

We talk:

• The curious case of Urban Bungalow (Target candle or contractor nightmare?)
• Heather’s evolution from “call the designer” to “budget baddie” 🔨
• Tarek’s questionable take on air conditioning 😤
• The dark kitchen debate: moody glam or gray-on-gray crime?
• Backyard sod drama, Bugzy’s mysterious disappearance, and the case of the stolen tub 🛁

We also give our 👏 standing ovation 👏 to Heather’s design growth and side-eye the real estate math that somehow makes a 960-square-foot house worth nearly $800K.

📢 Listener Challenge: We’re posting on IG/FB! Which Heather are you today: Season 1 Luxury Queen or Season 2 Budget Baddie? Tag us, share your vibe, and you might land in our Designing Bitches Bestie Hall of Fame.

As always, we come with opinions hotter than a Lakewood lawn without irrigation. Let’s dish, judge, and celebrate the drama together.
