It’s team challenge time!
And it does not go how you’d expect!
If theres anything worse than a swimwear challenge, its a team challenge.

And the poor season 15 designers get these back to back.
Bravo, season 15 designers.
Theyll be split up into two teams of six to create four looks in a mini collection.

AND they will be pitching these collections to three mystery investors.
Each investor has $1,000 to split between the teams for their purchases at Mood.
They continue on that roomie theme and snatch up Roberi and Cornelius as well.

They round out their team with Mah-Jing and Nathalia.
Dexter is up for the other group.
They talk about harem pants, an oversized coat, and a flirty dress.
In the end, that idea wins over the investors.
Which is about the same for the re-christened Team Bouton they are making jokes, helping each other out.
Honestly, yall, Im confused about what show were watching at this point.
Somehow they all arestillfriendly and helpful.
Maybe the designers readmy interview withJuniorwinner Mayaand took her advice on how to work together?!
Heidi introduces them to Sabrina Carpenter, the latest in a string of beautiful, young guest judges.
After the two collections go down the catwalk, Heidi announces that House of Bouton is the winning team.
Heidi loves how wisely they spent their money and how much attention they paid to detail.
Nina thinks the color palette of black and yellow is a little bumblebee, but shes still a fan.
Zac says the jersey dress is a low point in the collection, but everything else saved it.
Overall, theyre impressed with how fashion-forward the collection is.
Its a sweet moment.
Tasha agrees that Dexter should win and Jenni and Brik say Laurence.
I cant handle the cuteness of this team.
This is a tough loss.Team Unitys collection isnt necessarilybad; its just not as strong as House of Boutons.
Zac explains it as great imagination but not enough impact.
Nina wishes they had pitched a different collection instead of providing them officewear, they gave them street eveningwear.
By this time, most of the designers are already crying.
And instead of throwing anyone under the bus, they stick to how much they worked together.
When Heidi asks who should go home, my faith in humanity is restored.
Rik does say Alex because of the dress, but Roberi starts crying and says, Ill go home.
Nathalia and Cornelius do the same and Im CRYING AGAIN.
I take back everything bad I said about Cornelius.
Mah-Jing hems and haws but eventually says Alex, whos basically telling him to say his name.
Alex says his own name, noting how he failed on the pitch and failed his team.
Heidi says how respectable it is that hes taking responsibility.
Sadly, this wasnt one of those challenges.
Roberi is literally sobbing in the corner.
Tim quite literally changed his life, he says.
Am I just a big crybaby or did this episode touch you guys, too?
