What I thought was an overly gimmicky challenge -- create an outfit for a World Wrestling Entertainment diva to wear in the ring (can you feel my eyeballs rolling into the back of my head?) -- turns out to be an interesting way to weed the designers down to five.
For who would want to get sent home for failing this challenge? The closest similar challenge in Project Runway history was designing an outfit for an Olympic figure skater. But WWE? Instead of going to Mood for their fabrics, Tim Gunn took the designers to a place called Spandex House.
Rami seemed bewildered that he couldn't drape anything. Sweet P couldn't wrap her head around the entertainment value needed for the design. Chris and Christian easily adjusted to the costume aspect of the challenge. Jillian and Ricky had moments of self-doubt.
Fittingly, Chris wins the tackiest challenge this season, but his green leopard hoodie was truly a scene stealer. And finally, FINALLY Ricky is out! The judges criticized Ricky for designing an orange bathing suit. I'll miss Ricky's crying, but not really.

Thank god Ricky is finally gone. I was getting suspicious that he was still on the show.
