Learn more- The ladies gather around the sink to get ready while the boys make coffee and discuss the last challenge. "I think Ping should have gone home," Jesse tells the camera. "I can't believe she's still here." The contestants then visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where Tim stands among a fashion-themed exhibit waits. "With this challenge, you'll be working in teams of two to create high-end signature look -- a look, frankly, that could fit in with this company," he explains. But there's more! The teams will get $500 -- a 'Project Runway' record -- and two days to complete their creations. Many cheers.
Jay, the winner of the last challenge, is automatically a "team leader." Other leaders include: Jesus, Anthony, Janeane, Mila, Ping and Emilio. Jay then chooses Maya as his partner. Jesus picks Amy. Anthony opts for Seth, who asks: "Where's my brown sugar?" Janeane chooses Ben. Mila picks Jonathan. Ping takes Jesse. "I don't know how the hell this is going to work," Jesse tells the camera. Finally, Emilio is left with Anna. The group returns to Parsons, where Ping begins to talk very, very fast. Other duos discuss their ideas. "Mila has no problems making decisions," deadpans Jonathan, who must accept what his "leader" ultimately decides. Anna, meanwhile, worries that Emilio might be too established and too bold to be her partner. The drawing and sewing then begins!
And the squabbling, too. Ping and Jesse, in particular, aren't getting along. "I feel like I'm trying to reign in the crazy," Jesse tells the camera. Seth and Anthony are working with bright yellow and red material. "At this point, I think that we're designing a gown for the vice president of McDonald's," Anthony jokes. Tim enters with news: "You will be creating an additional look ... for the second part of this challenge, you will be creating a 'look for less.'" The contestants have $50 to make a second outfit, which also must be a derivation of a look made by another team. Huge groans. More frantic sketching begins before a second trip to Mood is made. "Our time frame is horrifying," Jonathan tells Mila. Maya laments working with Jay, who has immunity and seems to be spending more time eating apples than actually working.
The models enter for fittings. "I'm running the fittings now, as well as constructing everything," says Jonathan, whose solid relationship with Mila is fracturing a bit. Ping and Jesse continue to fight, prompting Emilio to compare them to Lucy and Ricky. Tim enters and worries that Jay and Maya won't be able to finish on time. "Keep it simple," the mentor says. He then looks over Jesse and Ping's two outfits -- the latter of which is made of fabric that looks like "wrapping paper." Ouch. "Work, work, work," Tim tells the room. And so they do. The next morning, the gang heads back to Parsons for more bickering and sewing. Emilio calls the Anthony-Seth creation good in concept, but "hideous" in execution. Ping feels that Jesse is more concerned with himself that the "team-work quality." Jonathan, meanwhile, is feeling overworked. He also knows that Mila would sell him out on the runway. Then again, he admits that he would sell her out, too. "This whole outfit was such a vision of mine," Mila tells the camera.
A second visit from the models later, the designers go into overdrive in order to finish their creations. "It's not easy to make a grand dress in a day and a half," Maya tells the camera. "I did the best I could." But will it be enough? The judges will decide -- and soon. Heidi enters and repeats her "one day you're in, etc." line for the umpteenth time. She then introduces the judges: Michael, Nina and Brit designer Matthew Williamson. Let the show begin! Anthony loves his black-and-yellow gown, an example of "classic elegance and beauty." Mila feels "so confident" about her sleek and striped signature look. Janeane is similarly satisfied with her low-cut dress. Emilio wonders if his creation might have been more "innovative" if he had not been paired with inexperienced Anna. The "looks for less," meanwhile, are met with a tad less enthusiasm from their creators.
Heidi then calls the following names: Janeane and Ben; Jesus and Amy, Emilio and Anna. "If I have called your name, congratulations -- your scores have qualified you to move on to the next round." The remainder represents the highest and lowest scores. Jay and Maya get high marks from Matthew for being "unique" and "dramatic." Michael thinks the $46 creation blows the $500 look "out of the water." Jonathan and Mila also do well with their expensive look. "The coat looks fabulous," Michael says. Ping and Jesse get ripped apart by Nina, who calls the pair's creation "just a bunch of fabric wrapped around a model." The secondary look fares even less well. "It's just an ill-fitting blah dress," Michael observes. Jesse defends himself by saying that he had to "teach sewing lessons" while he was trying to finish two dresses. The model also throws Ping under the bus, saying the designer never actually bothered to fit her in the cheaper outfit. The judges then turn their negative attentions to Anthony and Seth. "This is so costumey," Michael says. "It's 'Gone With the Wind.'" The second, cheaper look also gets dinged -- hard. "They're both really ugly," Nina says. Anthony and Seth appear chastened.
One judges' confab later, the designers return to the runway for the results. "One of you will be named the winner and one or more of you will be out," Heidi explains. Jonathan is in. Mila is the winner! "It feels amazing," Mila tells the camera. Maya is in. Jay is also in. That leaves Anthony-Seth and Ping-Jesse. After insulting all four one more time for good measure, Heidi announces that Seth and Jesse are in -- barely. Anthony is also in.
So it's goodbye Ping, who immediately begins to cry. "I came here to learn and to see what I can do and I truly feel that I did amazing job," she says through tears. "The journey continues ... I'm proud of myself." For the first time this episode, Jesse has nothing to say.
