04x10 - Raw Talent

[bunniefuu]

[Heidi klum] previously on project runway...

Your challenge today is to create

An iconic denim look of your choice.

[Tim] go!

[Sweet p squeals]

[Chris] ooh, they're dirty.

Blah.

The fact that ricky's here I think is a joke.

[Ricky] I've been getting these looks, like,

I am so not worthy of being here.

[Gasps] I keep cutting myself.

I feel like I'm in a bad mental condition.

[Techno music]

♪ ♪

[Heidi] immunity will not be given

To the winner of this challenge.

Congratulations...

Ricky...

You're the winner of this challenge.

Thank you.

[Nina] you have some good ideas.

It's just there's too many of them.

[Michael] it looks like a party skirt

Got glued onto your jean jacket.

Victorya, you're out.

The winner of project runway will receive

A spread in elle magazine,

An opportunity to sell their line

On bluefly.com,

An all-new 2008 saturn astra,

And $100,000 to start their own line

Furnished by tresemme professional hair care.

This is project runway.

Let's go.

Hell, yes, I'm the best.

[Heidi] you're either in, or you're out.

I'm in...they're out.

I wouldn't be caught dead in his clothes.

Fashion is my life.

Who will be the next big fashion designer?

That's me.

Bottom line, I'm the best.

I will own the runway.

For these 15 designers,

Project runway is the chance of a lifetime.

[Jillian] sweet p?

[Sweet p] what?

I don't want it, like,

Fashion week to be all boys.

We can't let that happen.

We need to rep-resent.

I think it would be a major disappointment

To get this far and not make it to bryant park.

I'm still going to fight for that final three.

It's almost over.

But there's some hot messes in this final six.

Ricky's dress had ruffles.

Attached to the bottoms.

Like, it wasn't even seamed.

[Ricky] even though I won, it doesn't really feel like

It's really gained any respect by most of the people.

But it helped me to realize...

Who cares what people say?

Just keep doing this.

Are we ready to go?

Come on, let's go.

Yes, we're ready. Let's go.

[Rami] big day ahead.

Hello.

Hi.

Before we talk about the next challenge,

Let's bring out the winning

And losing designers' models.

Models, this is a competition for you as well.

The model paired with the winning designer

Will get a spread in elle magazine.

Ricky, you were the winner of the last challenge.

So you have the option

Of swapping models

With a fellow designer.

Your model was amanda.

If you decide to stay with her,

Jacqueline will be out.

If you decide to swap, I will bring out

All of the models for you to choose from.

What do you want to do, ricky?

[Ricky] I'm sorry, jacqueline.

I'm gonna stay with amanda.

That means jacqueline, you're out.

Auf wiedersehen.

Jacqueline had an enormous amount of talent.

So when she left, that felt bad.

Are you ready for your next challenge?

[All] yes.

Too bad.

Tim will meet you in the workroom

Tomorrow morning

To fill you in on the details.

Have fun, and I'll see you on the runway.

Bye.

[All] bye.

[Sweet p] I just wonder what our next challenge is.

There's so much at stake, and the competition

Is so intense right now,

Like one tiny mistake and you're out.

What do you guys think the challenge is gonna be tomorrow?

[Jillian] I don't know!

I think it's a c*ck dress 'cause what heidi was wearing.

[Jillian] mm.

[Rami] how about a celebrity?

Maybe they'll do, uh, swimsuits for, like,

Sports illustrated.

[Rami] ew.

I never open the right door.

[Jillian with faux accent] rami.

[Sweet p] I feel something's gonna happen today.

Hi, tim.

Good morning, designers.

-How are you? -Good morning, tim.

We're taking a field trip.

[Ricky] uh-oh. We are?

So come with me.

[Ricky] my oh my.

[Chris] a lot of us were suspicious

About where we were going.

[Tim] we are going someplace--

Fabulous?

-Fabulous. -But you can't tell us.

Is it fierce?

It better be fierce, tim.

I have thought that maybe they would go

As far as drag queens.

[Laughs]

I hope I don't have to run in these.

These are like six inches.

[Christian] we had to run in two challenges!

[Tim] come with me.

Is this the field trip?

[Jillian] we get out of the elevator...

[Yelling and thumping]

I'm scared.

There's this crazy w*r noise

Coming from the door where the runway is.

And it sounds violent and scary.

Designers, as you can see,

We're outside the runway auditorium.

A place that you're more than a little familiar with.

[Loud banging and yelling]

It sounded like people k*lling each other.

I'm freaking out, really.

Inside is the destination for our field trip.

[Banging and groaning]

These sounds were so sexual!

They were like sex moans.

Tim...what is going on?

[Ominous music]

I'm scared.

[Jillian] I'm scared too! Is this safe?

Oh, my god.

[Designers laughing]

[Yells and groans]

[Rami] finally, tim opens the door.

There are six athletic strongwomen.

That is...crazy.

And they're wrestling.

I'm thinking, where is this going?

It's like watching a train wreck happen.

[Chris] these...ladies...

Throwing each other, kicking each other.

Pulling each other's hair.

It was pretty great, actually.

[Laughs]

Tim, oh, my god.

[Ding ding]

Designers, I want to introduce your clients for this challenge.

The divas from wwe,

World wrestling entertainment.

Let's meet them.

[Christian] you can do it.

Grandpa has difficulty with these ropes.

Work it out, tim.

Christian, to borrow a word from you,

They are fierce indeed.

[Rami laughs]

Work it out.

Ladies, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, my name's maria.

I would say my style's very rock glam.

My name is torrie wilson.

I am the epitome

Of the all-american good girl.

Hi, my name is kristal.

I love leather and lace.

I'm michelle mccool.

And I'm your girl next door as well.

But I also love sports.

My name's layla el.

I'm very funky.

Plus, I'm a professional dancer.

Hey, I'm candice michelle.

And I'm your current

Wwe women's champion.

And I'm also known as the sex kitten.

[Laughter]

Designers,

Your challenge

Is to create an outfit

For the divas to wear

In the ring.

Whoa.

"Oh, [bleep]" was the initial thought

That ran through my head.

Each of you will select one of the ladies

As your client.

So designers, come on up.

[Chris] graceful.

I think a lot of people were horrified

When they were like, "oh, no.

This is what we're gonna be making."

Ricky, you won the last challenge,

So you get to pick first.

I wanna take layla.

[Squeals and laughter]

I knew right away that I wanted to choose layla.

She looked a little latina.

I don't know, I got a little vibe from her.

Jillian.

I'll pick michelle.

Chris.

Maria.

Christian.

I want kristal.

[Laughter]

Sweet p.

I want to take candice.

Whoo!

So we have-- we have rami.

Let me think.

Huh. Torrie.

You're stuck with me.

[Laughter]

So designers, we're going to head up to the workroom.

Okay?

[All chattering]

Designers and divas.

You have 30 minutes to work together.

Afterwards, the designers and i,

We are going shopping.

We'll have 30 minutes at spandex house.

You will have a budget of $100 for this challenge.

I'll be back in half an hour.

Make it work. Thank you.

[Chris] everybody's just thinking,

"Oh, it's just, like, stripper tr*nny wear."

[Giggling]

Partially stripper tr*nny, you know.

Partially stripper tr*nny.

The divas do these crazy things to each other

And they wear these crazy outfits.

We have to make a fashion look, you know,

That expresses our point of view as a designer.

And...you know, we have to make it

Out of some really crazy stuff.

You obviously like leopard.

-I do like leopard. -Mm-hmm.

-I like leopard a lot. -A lot?

Little cat. Rowr!

[Both laughing]

-Innocence -i understand.

-But--but still sexy? -Gotcha.

All right. Okay.

This challenge is about, obviously, color.

And it's flashy, and it's costumey.

I don't think it's the most fashionable challenge.

But I have to create something for her.

And it's not just about me at this point.

It's the classy sexpot, you know?

Not like the wh*re sexpot.

[Sweet p] my diva, candice,

Likes really sparkly stuff.

The things she had on today...

Scared the [bleep] out of me.

I just don't even get it.

If we did, like, a chap.

-That would be hot. -Which could be hot.

[Kristal] I really like cutouts on the pants.

I think it's really cool with the chaps.

Okay. Yeah, yeah.

-Do you like gold? -Yes, I like gold.

Gold will look great on you.

[Ricky] I think that making any kind of clothing for somebody

Can be fashion,

Whether it's some spandex number,

Or it's, you know, making an evening gown.

What if it was ruched?

Like, to give it texture?

Yeah, I could work with that.

Maybe we'll do a one-piece, 'cause that'll be fun.

Designers?

It's time to say good-bye to your divas.

All right?

[All exchanging good-byes]

I'm so excited.

-[Squealing] -you're so inspiring.

Oh, well, thank you.

Thank you so much!

[Laughing]

Thank you.

[Tim] bye.

All right, designers.

Get your stuff together,

Because we're going shopping.

Let's go. Go, go, go.

Hi. Do you still have that green leopard velour?

I knew exactly what I wanted.

I had no trouble.

[Laughing]

Oh, wow. That looks great.

You know what? I'm gonna get this.

[Ricky] I got some orange fabric.

And then I started looking for the gold

That I'm gonna use as braiding material.

How much is this?

That's not glittery enough.

Ooh, that's the one.

Thanks.

[Designers] thank you, spandex house.

[Tim] thank you so much.

[Jillian] you have to make something gorgeous.

[Tim] designers, you have until midnight tonight to work.

And you have all day tomorrow.

All right?

-Thank you. -Take care. Make it work.

[Rami] all right.

Yeah. Yeah! Flip her over!

Straddle her!

We had these dvds from blockbuster total access

On our desks to further get to know

Who they are and what they wear.

If I design the wrong thing, she might body-slam me.

I think it's probably one of the more difficult challenges,

Because spandex--

It's a little bit more difficult to sew.

Mine is very modest.

[Sweet p] oh, my god.

It's very demure.

[Jillian] whoa, baby.

[Rami laughs]

[Jillian] that is very pink, rami.

She looks--i mean--

She's like barbie, though.

Torrie's the girl next door.

Very, like, bubbly and all of that.

In order to create her look,

I'm draping shorts

And the bra, which is a two-piece.

It's extremely pink.

That is gonna be hot.

How hot are these gonna be?

That's pretty cool, actually.

[Chris] let's see.

[Christian] my fabulous diva kristal,

She wanted it lace and leather.

So I made chaps!

Oh, my god, it was so fierce.

Aren't these gonna be so hot?

Christian, don't you like these two fabrics together though?

[Laughter]

[Bleep]in' dayglo.

The tackiest fabric in the room is sweet p.

Sweet p, she looks like tr*nny ice queen.

[Laughter]

What can I do?

Bryant park is definitely the light

At the end of the tunnel.

And I definitely don't want to go home

Over this cuckoo challenge.

I'm not gonna let this one take me out, no way.

Do the feathers look scary?

Oh, this is too casino.

[All laughing]

[Chris] poor sweet p.

[Imitating heidi] you're out.

[Heidi] coming up on project runway...

You think this is too much, though?

It's a little wonder woman.

And I don't want this to be your downfall.

Oh, my gosh.

I am not ashamed to make a new outfit

For the wwe divas.

I know that some people

Are not that happy about it.

Oh, god. I'm so scared.

[Sweet p] my diva, candice,

Her whole shtick is robe and reveal.

I feel like I got the base of the robe done.

I just have to add the sleeve.

I want to do a cute little cap sleeve,

Because I think it's more like a pin-up girl.

And that I can actually relate to

More than, like, some cheesy stripper wear.

[Jillian] michelle is the athletic, sporty girl next door.

The look is a bra top.

And it just kind of wraps all around the body.

And I'll also make a pair of shorts.

And they're very, very short.

I want it to look like an animal in a cage.

[Growls]

The look that I'm making for maria

Kind of has a little bit of a slightly jungle-y feel.

Like, I did all these straps and things

So she looks like a caged animal.

We could've made these outfits for men.

[Laughing] and then I think you'd have

A little more interest going on around here.

[Laughing]

I can't believe I haven't arm wrestled any of you.

You wanna arm wrestle right now?

Yeah.

Come over here, you skinny-armed twit.

[Laughing]

-Ready? -Set, go.

[Groans]

My shoe's sliding!

If I lose, I'd die.

[Both giggling]

Yes! I would've won.

Oh, my god.

I'm so tired now!

-Did she beat you? -No, I won.

I'm beast, you guys! You just don't know.

[Laughter]

Hi, everybody.

-How are you doing? -Good.

I have a nice surprise.

I'm sending in your divas for a fitting.

You'll have 30 minutes with them.

I'm going to send them in.

Hi!

[All exchanging greetings]

You're gorgeous!

-I am? -Yes.

You got the green!

-Told ya. -That is so cool.

[Chris] she just started jumping up and down and clapping.

She was so thrilled with the green leopard.

She was so thrilled with the way it looked.

[Maria giggling]

Chris said you wanted green leopard.

I did.

Girlies, you're so jealous. I know it.

[Chris] it looks really good on her.

And I was really happy.

Are you the kind of person that has to

Kinda feel the whole thing out?

-Yes, i-- -okay.

-How is it? -I gotta put it on.

And then I'll be able to give him the honest feedback--

And when she has it on, you can come back to us.

-I'd love to see it. -[Layla] okay, thank you.

Do you work out, like, every day?

Yeah.

You're so toned. It's amazing.

Like, it puts me to shame.

[Both laugh]

Can I just be blunt?

It looks like she's going to the wwe hospital.

She does want stuff on it.

Like rhinestones and...

[Tim] it needs stuff.

It's very average.

Yeah, it's like I could buy this

At the stripper store.

Just the boy shorts and a top.

-You two talk. -Okay.

You know, maybe we could do like

Just like rhinestones, like, going--

Like cascading here.

[Sweet p] when you have a customer who's asking you

For the tackiest garment you could ever imagine

In your life, it's just frightening.

So like a cutout like little star

Or something here.

Sweet p seems to be having a difficulty

With her client.

I don't want it to look like,

Uh, clownish.

I can't add it all. It's just ridiculous.

I-i mean, is she kidding?

This is-- the gold's going here.

When tim sees my garment, he...

Has a look of... Apprehension.

I'm always thinking about the judges.

I just want you to be prepared

That with this color orange...

I'm worried.

I'm concerned.

[Ricky] we talked about the color.

There's a reason to my madness.

All right. Keep up your dialogue.

Thank you.

[Ricky] you know, I've gotta stick to my g*ns.

I like what I'm doing.

But I want to give layla a little bit more.

Because that will take it to another level.

It's so cool!

It's so hot. It really is.

It's kind of amazing.

So I kind of love this challenge now.

I mean, can we talk?

Can we talk about this?

She's really fierce.

She's, like, one of the fiercest people I've ever met.

And that's a big deal, because I've met

Some fierce b*tches up in my life.

-Oh, my god. -Will you marry me?

-Yes. -[Laughing]

Designers, we have to let our divas go.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

[Maria] thank you so much.

-[Chris] bye. -Don't work too hard.

[Chris laughs]

Wow!

I have to add everything but the kitchen sink.

-What do you mean? -Like, everything. The feathers.

-Rhinestones. -She wants that.

Cutout stars on the butts.

Pick what you want to do.

You don't have to do everything.

I'm really at a loss right now.

Like, I have a ton of work now to do,

And, uh...

[Exhales]

I'm gonna have to edit this somehow.

Hey, christian.

Do you happen to have a snap?

Mm-hmm.

Thanks.

-I owe you one. -Mm-hmm.

Actually, in all honesty,

I really didn't want to give 'em to him.

But at the end of the day, you help people.

And their work still is not great.

Ricky's outfit was a complete bathing suit.

But I wasn't gonna tell him that.

'Cause honestly, like,

That's how people get weeded out.

[Sweet p] do you know what my diva name's gonna be?

[Chris] spread eagle?

Well, mine's for sure spread eagle.

And I'm gonna say she's very '70s

And her move is "the thighs."

[Chris] mine, of course, is wonder woman.

And she smothers men with her large breasts.

Mine's gonna be ferosha coutura.

And her move is she sprays girls

In the eyes with hairspray.

[Chris laughs]

[Sweet p] oh, my god, that's great.

[Chris laughing] I love it.

Hi, everybody.

[Rami] hi.

So...how's ricky?

Ricky's working.

I want to give her just a little a-line.

Like a little something she can just snap off.

And she can reveal the--

-It's in this? -Yeah, in the-- in the--

What's happening with that?

I'm just cutting the strips.

You think this is too much, though?

[Tim laughs]

Well, it's a little wonder woman.

All right.

Experiment.

Rami, how are you?

It's not necessarily my look in general.

Oh, I know.

But, um, I mean, the way she looks

And what her style is,

I could see that it works.

And she was very happy with the color.

Here's my concern.

This is the kind of color

That you either fully embrace or you reject,

And I don't want this to be your downfall.

[Rami] I would hope to be safe tomorrow.

But we're very close to fashion week.

Obviously I would like to show.

It's a little bit terrifying

Because it's not my personal style.

This is why it's a challenge.

Yeah, I know.

How are you doing?

I did the bottom.

All right, cute.

So I thought that the cute boyish kind of look of it

And a really short short

Was going to take her to that edge.

Okay. Good.

Okay, jillian.

How is christian?

I'm fine.

I know it's really kind of s & m,

But it's so sexy.

It is fierce.

I think it's ama-- I loved it.

I really did.

Okay. Thanks, christian.

Thanks, tim.

So...

How's sweet p?

I mean, I don't really like a lot of...

Things on the garment.

This really worries me.

It looks so unrefined.

I mean, you don't want to go home on this.

-No, I totally don't. -No, you don't.

I don't want you to go home.

I have problems with this whole--with this coat.

Even though I like the fabric better.

I mean, it's like eva gabor in green acres.

Can you mitigate this somehow?

With these feathers?

I mean, something?

Ugh, god, talk about eva gabor in green acres.

Jesus!

Make it work. You can.

I am going to try.

All right, designers. You have until midnight tonight.

I will tell you right now you will have

Not a lot of time tomorrow.

Use your time well.

Carry on.

[Christian] you want me to be truthful?

I just think it's...

-Hideous. -Really ugly.

I know, and how do I fix it? I can't.

I'm not really giving my customer what she wants.

Like, I don't want to get persecuted for it.

But I also know if I put all that [bleep] on it,

The judges are going to hate it.

So I feel like I'm in this weird catch-22.

And I'm running out of time.

[Heidi] coming up on project runway...

It's a little big bird.

It's a little chewbacca.

-It's about you. -Okay.

Oh, [bleep]. I really messed this one up.

What are the judges going to say

For this challenge?

What could they possibly say?

What is nina garcia gonna say

About a pink spandex outfit with rhinestones on it?

It just figures that the guys would get this one right.

I'm just scared to see candice michelle.

She's not gonna be happy.

This morning I feel pretty bad about my outfit.

And I want to stay here, but...

This one might put me out.

Whoo!

What else can I do here?

Make her a bracelet.

A feather bracelet.

[Chris laughs]

It's a little big bird.

It's a little chewbacca.

Hide those feathers.

Yeah, I better hide that [bleep].

Good morning, everybody.

-Good morning, tim. -How are you?

We have a very tight schedule.

You will only have

An hour and a half

To send your diva

To the l'oreal paris makeup room and the tresemme hair salon.

Just remember, someone is going to be out.

And you don't want it to be you.

All right?

I'm sending in your models.

[All exchanging greetings]

[Tim] good to see you, you all look stunning.

[Chris] wow, you guys got on some outfits today.

You look great.

I think that's great.

I remade this because the other one,

It didn't look clean when it was folded over.

-Okay. -So I had to re...

I put this here.

Yeah, I like that.

On here, we ended up rhinestones here,

Feathers on the bottom, whatever, so...

Okay.

She seemed in a much better mood today.

What if we just scatter all of these--

-Big and small? -All over.

Scattering wouldn't take me very long.

-Yeah, I think maybe scattering-- -okay.

'Cause that way, you don't have to worry

-About the spacing as much, you know? -Okay.

She definitely wanted a little more bling.

But I'll throw a couple, you know,

More rhinestones around for some glitz.

-I love what you did to this! -Oh, and I ruched that.

-That is so cool. -Yeah.

You are just too much. You really are.

-Yeah... -Details, details.

This is one of my favorite outfits as a whole.

I have a lot--i've liked a lot of other ones.

But I really like what I'm doing.

Fabulous!

This is my little superhero outfit.

Definitely.

Are you excited?

-Yeah, totally. Are you? -Yes.

[Ricky] just take it off and pow.

[Chris] ricky's orange bathing suit

Looked kind of cheesy.

That's not really what the challenge is about.

It's not a-- it's not a cape.

It's not a robe. It's--it's still lady.

It's a little dress.

When I see layla's face, and she looks a little nervous.

I kind of think, "oh, [bleep].

I really messed this one up."

But I also feel like, well,

Let's make this work.

No, no, no.

Honey, you're funny. What love handles?

Oh, I love it. This is so hot.

-You love it? -Yes.

She really loved it, actually.

She was completely satisfied.

So if it's not what the judges wanted,

Then I don't know what to tell you.

I want it you, okay?

Okay, no...

Yay!

-Kind of like that? -Yeah, I love that.

Oh, my god. That's so fabulous.

-Is that okay? -Great.

Fabulous.

Designers.

Five minutes.

Go put this on.

Here we go. That's yours.

You girls are tough.

Are you scared?

-You wouldn't hurt me, would you? -No.

-I might've, if I didn't like my outfit. -Uh-oh!

Is it tight enough, or do we need to make it tighter?

[Chris] rami's girl loves the pink

And the sequins, but I was like,

"Ugh. Oh, my god."

Just be yourself. Have fun.

-All right. -It's about you.

Okay.

Still a little nervous. Actually, I'm very nervous.

But, um, I think that it's gonna work out.

[Christian] sweet p's outfit was looking like a big craft project

That I could've done in, like, first grade.

But she fixed it.

So it turned out a lot better.

Designers and divas.

We're going down to the runway.

So follow me, please.

Sweet p.

Here I come.

When I put the silver outfit

On candice michelle today,

It wasn't quite the same feeling I've had

With all my other outfits.

I just wanna get this thing over with.

[Tim] jillian, you're still sewing?

[Jillian] I'm just finishing.

You have rhinestones all down your back.

[Heidi] coming up on project runway...

I feel like the pope at a sex club.

I mean, I am just, like, "whoa!"

[Heidi] hi.

Welcome to the runway.

As you know, in fashion, one day you're in

And the next day,

You're out.

For this challenge, we asked you

To create a new look

For the divas of the wwe,

World wrestling entertainment.

We gave you two days and $100 to complete the look.

All right, let's meet the judges.

First, we have top american designer michael kors.

Hey, guys.

[Designers] hi, michael.

[Heidi] next, we have nina garcia,

Fashion director of elle magazine.

Hi, everyone.

Hola.

And heatherette's dynamic duo,

Richie rich and traver rains.

-Hey, what's up? -Howdy.

We will score your designs as they come down the runway.

One of you will be named the winner,

And one of you will be out.

Let's start the show.

[Christian] kristal is the wealthy gold digger.

I just knew that my outfit was the most wearable.

It had pieces. It was sexy.

I love this outfit more than other outfits I've made

On this show, which is really scary.

[Jillian] I'm pretty happy with my work.

I did accomplish the goal at hand.

The girl next door, tomboy, but completely sexy.

[Ricky] layla, she's really spunky.

I like the look.

I'm confident in myself, yes.

Confident in what the judges were going to think, no.

'Cause I never know what they're gonna think.

The judges are-- are tough.

[Chris] I love my finished look.

I wish I could wear it.

I think it's really cool,

And I think it really goes with her persona.

[Sweet p] my diva, candice,

Her shtick is robe and reveal.

I thought it made her look really feminine.

But there's no way to tell

How the judges are gonna judge it.

[Rami] I'm terrified,

Because it does not look like

What I would normally do as a designer.

It looks like I've been smoking crack or something.

It's a tacky pink outfit that I feel I had to do

In order to please my client.

We've scored your designs, and we would like

To talk to all of you.

Let's bring out your models.

I would like to start with jillian.

Please tell us about your design.

Michelle is kind of the girl next door,

Very sexy tomboy.

So I went with bright royal blue

With white engineered stripes.

How do you feel in it?

I love it. I think the concept is great.

Nothing falls out, that you can really go for it.

I don't think anything's going anywhere.

[Laughter]

First off, I have to tell you guys,

-I am so... -[Laughter]

I am so the fish out of water here.

I feel like the pope at a sex club.

I mean, I am just, like, "whoa."

You know?

Well, jillian, I think that you played off

Of the idea of something that's classic.

Um, but then gave it, you know, some sizzle.

Gave it some sex appeal.

I think this is very much in keeping with

The sort of entertainment value, I have a feeling,

That we're looking for.

And, uh, at the same time, it is sporty.

I secretly love the booty shorts.

You can borrow them.

[Laughter]

Rami, tell us about your design.

Torrie is, uh,

The girl next door who's very flirty.

The first thing that she expressed

Is she likes very bright colors.

Would rami's outfit work in the ring?

Definitely.

She's saying here, "the all-american good girl."

Mm-hmm.

Which to me, I kind of think

Of, like, I don't know.

Like pink and white gingham gone bad.

You know, like something that's based on americana.

I don't get any americana

Out of this at all.

I hate the color.

I knew it.

I did pick a color that I know

Obviously is controversial.

But I felt you cannot miss her in the ring.

Not my favorite, rami. I'm sorry.

[Heidi] christian.

Tell us about your design.

The very first words that came out of her mouth

Was, like, "I love leather and lace."

So I was like, well, let's do this kind of hard,

Biker rocker chick kind of thing.

How do you feel in it, kristal?

-I love it. -Good.

I feel like such a vamp.

It's exactly what I wanted.

[Richie] you look powerful in it.

You look sexy, and it reminds me

Of, like, a vanity, a prince.

It reads, like, you know, you wanna get the job done.

So...and pick up a couple men on the way.

That's the plan, usually.

[All laughing]

I agree with you when you talk about, like, that prince moment.

It's...it's very...

-It's feisty. -Yeah.

That's me.

I'd be very intimidated and scared

To have to fight you in the ring.

You know?

Heidi versus kristal.

But, you know, it's not like, you know.

[Michael] she's got some muscle going.

No, I think job well done.

Thank you, thank you.

Sweet p.

Tell us about your design.

Her trademark is a robe and then reveal.

I tried to just make her really pin-upy.

And more kind of retro glamour.

I feel like it looks a little unfinished to me.

I wish you maybe would've made it more of a robe robe.

Where she was covered up more, and then pow.

I'm worried that your chest

Is gonna fall out.

Is that...

Tucked in?

It holds me in pretty good.

I'm not so sure, also, if I read "happy happy happy"

All over your face.

For me, the robe is a huge impact.

Like a queen, like a--

It's queen. Yeah, exactly.

It's, um...it was a little bit bare for me.

If you've got a client

Who's willing to go for the gusto, well then,

Go for the drama.

Chris, tell us about your design.

Well, um, when maria came to me in the workroom,

We both discovered

Our love of leopard.

Her signature is kind of this hoodie.

And that she comes out and does her kiss thing,

'Cause she's the kisscam girl.

I think that for you,

This might not have been

As much of a stretch as for some

Of the other designers here.

That's what he said.

The gloves are super cool. I love them.

-They just go to here, or they-- -want me to take it off?

Part of something, or...

I adore the lining.

[Michael] yes, that's fabulous.

-The little hoodie was lined. -That's fabulous.

-Really cute. -[Heidi] it is.

I think it looks expensive.

I was gonna say the same thing.

It's pricey looking.

I love it--i have to agree with michael too.

I thought the glitter fabric, that trick, I love it.

It's one of my favorites.

All right, ricky. Tell us about your outfit.

I chose layla.

Because when I saw her on the ring,

She had this personality, she had this spunk.

This little fire, and I just was like, "ah.

I can relate to that."

I like it as a bathing suit.

But I don't like it as a costume.

Can you put this on?

Sure.

[Nina] I think you could've done without.

To be honest with you,

I don't think this is helping the cause.

It's not flattering at all to you--i think you're sexy.

Doesn't show off her body.

[Richie] not at all. It's very boxy.

I would love to see you in something that just moved

And was fun.

I think this challenge was opportunity

To dress a superhero.

And I think you really didn't take it there.

Okay, we've heard what you had to say.

We need some time to talk.

And then I'm gonna call you back.

You can leave the runway. Thank you.

Let's go to our favorites.

What did you think about christian's?

I loved christian--i mean, it was definitely costumey.

He took it there to that level.

[Nina] he managed to make her sexy

Without revealing too much.

And the jacket was fabulous.

[Heidi] jacket was good.

-She looked the part. -Yeah.

One of my favorites

Was chris.

I felt like the outfit just complimented

Everything that she was about.

[Nina] it was flattering.

It looked expensive, well-made.

She looked powerful, she looked sexy.

You can tell when a woman feels right in her clothes.

She loved how she looked.

How did you like jillian's?

When I first saw them all together,

I really thought that was my favorite.

It was sporty, and it still had, like,

An edge to it.

[Michael] here's this kind of contradiction.

She's a sexy tomboy. She's powerful.

But she's sexy-- I think the outfit

Really, you know, summed that up.

Ricky, I think,

Totally has missed the boat on the challenge.

A funky, versatile dancer in a swimsuit?

With a bangle bracelet?

[Heidi] no.

Let's be honest-- it's not like

I've never seen that suit before.

And then the tunic-- what was the tunic?

To me, that looked like

A disco hair-cutting smock.

Right.

The combination of those two ideas...

Really didn't produce anything cohesive.

When you actually see them lined up on stage--

She was going under.

She stuck out like a sore thumb.

How about rami?

It didn't look strong to me.

I just felt like it was a little

Too froufrou.

It was kind of like paris hilton wannabe.

She definitely stood out because of the color.

It was so pink, and her hair is so blonde,

And her boobs are so big.

She got what she wanted, but not in a good way.

Sweet p.

She had drag queen in mind.

She wanted over-the-top--

[Michael] oh, yeah. She was like a ziegfeld girl.

She wanted to go down the steps

And have that entrance.

In what, a chewed-up robe?

Right.

She didn't look like she loved it at all.

She said sex kitten.

She had an idea with the vargas girl.

I don't think it was successful.

She's a vargas disco ball, and then...

All right, so we've made our decision?

Okay, let's bring them back out.

One of you will be named the winner.

And one of you

Will be out.

One of you will be named the winner.

And one of you

Will be out.

Jillian.

You're in. You can leave the runway.

And now for the winner of this challenge.

Congratulations...

Chris.

Maria will also wear your outfit in the ring

In an upcoming match.

You can leave the runway, chris.

[Chris] of course, I ended up winning

The tackiest challenge that we've had,

[Laughing] which I find very funny.

[Whispering] I'm shocked.

Christian.

Good job. You can leave the runway.

Rami.

You're in. You can leave the runway.

Ricky, sweet p.

One of you will be out.

Ricky, the challenge was to design an outfit

For the ring.

And all we saw was a bathing suit

In orange and black.

In this challenge, you missed the mark

In more ways than one.

Sweet p, the silhouette and fit of your look

For candice did not match

Her image.

She's a sex kitten.

The robe had no

Dramatic impact.

[Dramatic music]

♪ ♪

Sweet p.

You're in. You can leave the runway.

Ricky, that means you're out.

Auf wiedersehen, ricky.

[Kiss kiss]

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

[All whispering]

The thing I'll take away from this whole experience

Is a stronger sense of self.

I think that I came into it with a lot of fears.

And I've learned...

Not to fear what others are going to think.

So ricky.

I have to send you upstairs

To clean up your space.

-Bye, guys. -We're gonna miss you.

Really.

[Ricky] bye-bye.

I have the rest of my life to have a show in bryant park.

So this isn't the end of me.

I don't know what to expect from this.

I really don't.

So I just have to keep doing what I'm doing

And see what comes.

[Heidi] next on project runway...

You're going on one last field trip.

[Rami] we're naturally nervous,

Because the last trip was to the wrestling ring.

Wow.

It's incredible.

This is every designer's dream.

It's looking pretty schlumpy.

If my dress isn't finished,

For sure I'll get eliminated.

And that sucks.

[Christian] jillian's been pressing for three hours.

I feel self-conscious enough as it is.

Ew, don't get bitchy.

Christian is just really arrogant.

I'm so over it.

You went really safe.

[Michael] how predictable.

I expect more from you.

What?

It's been a long journey.

It's the end of this roller coaster.
