The designers are terrified enough when they have to meet Tim Gunn at a recycling plant.
Aaron looks like hes going to vomit and it has nothing to do with the smell of refuse.
Theyll be creating five-look mini collections, and everyone will have a new model.

Tim pulls out his trusty button bag and divides up the teams.
Back in the workroom, the three teams brainstorm design themes and team names.
For the most part, the teams work without issue.

The part that is an issue is the twins.
Shawn is very concerned about designing for a larger girl and shes also terrified of the shame of failing.
By the next morning, Shawn still has pieces of a garment.
Sentell helps by sewing his teammates look and getting everyone out the door in time.
She announces that Ballin on a Budget is the winning team and Team Tsunami is the loser.
She also points out how Batani and Aaron successfully redesigned their looks quickly after critiques from Tim.
Zac says he loves that Brandons print holds the collection together.
She loves that its dramatic while modest; Zac points out that its ferocious.
Amy explains to the judges that Team Tsunami created a resortwear collection with found materials.
Heidi says she just sees garbage.
Sentell says he wanted to create structure, but Zac says theres no structure in sight.
If I didnt love Maggie Q before…
In addition to getting blasted by Maggie Q, Shawn also gets dressed down by Sentell.
He calls out that he made her top when Heidi says she likes it.
It is the new indeed.
Out of nowhere, Shawn says that she didnt like Amys look.
Everyone says Shawn except Claire, who says Sentell.
Winner:Ayana
Out:Sentell
Do I think Sentells dress was bad?
Do I think the judges kept the twins because theyre better television?
I guess those are the dangers of playing in reality TV.
At least Sentell can go spend time with his husband!
