Another week's gone by and we lost another designer.  Last week Kit got the boot and everyone is acting like Ricky should have gotten the cut and treating him accordingly.  Heidi wrangles the remaining designers together to hand out the models and I notice how few are left:  Sweet P, Rami, Christian, Chris, Victorya, Jillian and Ricky.  All I can think about is who will be in the final three and my money is on Chris, Christian and Jillian.  At least, this is the way I feel at the beginning of the episode.  The group is sent on a field trip with Tim and they’re brought to a warehouse.

This isn’t just any warehouse, but a Levis warehouse and their challenge for this week is to wrangle up (lord, I’m hilarious) an outfit that exhibits the idea and mystique of Levi-Strauss Jean Company.  The contestants are sent into this warehouse to collect as many jeans as possible to use as the fabrics for their designs.  Jillian decides to create another jacket and when she finds out that Victorya, her partner for making a jacket last episode, is also making a jacket.  Jillian is pissed off about this and also for the fact that it is taking too long for her to create it. 

Ricky feels the pressure of everyone’s looks and he decides to put his lingerie experience to the test and make a corset.  Tim tells him it’s totally hot.  Rami is making a super cute mini dress and I am sure that it’s his way of telling the judges that there is more to him than his stupid draping.  Sweet P has come up with the stupid idea of a denim wedding dress, but it looks cheap, tragic, and homemade.  Tim tells her so and she eventually decides to change it into a shorter dress.  Chris is making a mini dress with a weird pocket and Tim points it out, but he says he doesn’t care because he loves the way that stupid pocket looks.  Finally, there’s Christian and he is making something he calls fabulous and he cannot stop patting himself on his own back, but he’s got a cool biker inspired denim jacket and skinny jeans with the bottom of the jean being made out of the sleeves of a jacket, hot.   


Christian – He really does prove his fabulosity with this outfit.  I mean really, it ends up being fantastic and spectacular.  The sleeves on the legs are awesome and chic.  It’s a new jean that could be worn and sold.
Chris – Looks unfinished and home sewn.  Unfinished with zero wow factor.
Rami – Caroline says it looks innovative, creative and fun.  Nina says she’s happy that Rami did something new, but continues to be sophisticated. 
Sweet P – Michael says it’s super chic.  It has a slimming voodoo and magic in it.  It could be worn anywhere and at anytime.
Ricky – The judges love it.  Chic and fun.  This is the first thing from Ricky that Michael has seen that looks like he works with lingerie. 
Victorya – Says there was a lot of work to be done when the judges bring up the fact that she basically took a jean jacket and added a skirt. 
Jillian – They bring up the fact that her jacket last time was spectacular and this time it is undone and the outfit over all is unflattering.  She reached too far and couldn’t really complete it.


Ricky wins this challenge and redeems himself.  His dress will be sold as a limited edition on Bluefly.  Rami, Christian and Sweet P are safe and they get to leave the runway.  Victorya, Jillian and Chris are on the chopping block.  Chris is the first to be saved and it is down to the two terrible jacket makers.  Jillian is in and Victorya is out.  Jillian looks like she got kicked in the stomach and she goes backstage.  Victorya continues to have that same stupid bitchy look on her face as she’s sent to collect her stuff and vacate the premises.  I never liked her and am glad that she’s gone.
