The elimination challenge: Design a look that showcases your vision as a designer using artwork from The Metropolitan Museum of Art as inspiration.
I envied the remaining five designers and Tim Gunn for having three rooms of the Met all to themselves. To document their inspiration, the designers took photos with provided digital cameras. How I'd love permission to take photos in a museum!
Rami chose a statue of Aphrodite and justified making yet another dress with draping.
Chris, inspired by a painting of a noblewoman, seemed more inspired by the avant garde dress he co-designed and co-executed with Christian a couple of weeks ago. Guest judge Roberto Cavalli never saw that dress so he didn't see the echo so obvious to the rest of the judges and to those of us in the audience.
Christian wins. Rami and Chris were in the bottom two, but the judges deem Rami and Chris good enough to stay in. Huh? Yes, once again, Project Runway changes its own rules for determining the final three. Once again, we don't even have a final three! Last season they weakly declared, "You're all good enough for Bryant Park so you're the final four!" This season it's: "We don't want to make a decision yet so you're the final four!"Sweet P is the only one eliminated in this episode. It's a cruel move.
Jillian, Christian, Rami and Chris will take time off to design a collection. But before showing at Bryant Park, Rami and Chris need to show their three strongest pieces and the judges will eliminate one of them.
Favorite quotes:
- "I'm passionate about draping." - Rami's defense for his design
- "I sew fast. Get over it." - Christian while making several individual pieces for his look
My prediction for the big finale:
Rami to be eliminated, Chris to make the final three. Jillian to win, Christian to place.

Rami must have said "I'm passionate about draping" 30 times! We get it!
