The episode starts out with the designers being sad that Beatrice is gone. We then go to the runway, where Heidi vaguely tells them that they're meeting Tim somewhere 'sweet'. Gunnar kinda looks like he’s already got this challenge figured out as the unconventional challenge. I find it interesting that even though he was only on Project Runway for a few minutes last season, but he seems to have things figured out really well. Also, WHAT is Elena wearing? You can barely see her face!
Tim meets them outside Dylan’s Candy Bar with Dylan Lauren, the owner (and Ralph Lauren's daughter). Tim announces this
is their unconventional challenge (To which Gunnar exclaims “I knew it!” He
apparently dreamed about a candy challenge). This isn’t a normal candy store
though- they have EVERYTHING imaginable. Dylan tells them not to eat the
product… like they’re gonna listen! We get a bunch of shots of the designers
eating candy.
The designers dash around the store, accidentally bump heads (ouch!),
and Tim realizes the wonders of Lego candy ("you can build with them!"). Kooan
asks to take an entire container of orange Twizzlers.
Lantie is super-focused on the foundation instead of candy. Big Mistake. Hasn't she heard of muslin? Hasn't she seen past seasons? The
unconventional materials are all that they really want you to use, NOT anything
fabric-y. When designers use materials that are like fabric, they go home. The end.
We then get a particularly funny scene of Christopher asking the cashier about buying a chocolate boyfriend, followed by him pretending to whip Buffi. Uhh... no comment? Gunnar gives us some funny bits too, saying how he needs a helper to hold up his arm and ordering the cashier: "Be nice to me when you tell me the price!"
The designers get back to the workroom and... Oh no, more Gunnar/Chris drama. Chris just wants everyone to be nice to each other. Gunnar thinks Chris is
threatened by him.
Commercial break: *Cue Kristen running to find candy because all of this candy is making her sweet tooth scream at her*
We get to see the ideas of some of the other designers, which involve dirt
and earth for Alicia. Not sure how well that will go over. Sonjia is making something with sharks, which I think is
really interesting.
Christopher thinks he is the nice twin, and Gunnar is the evil twin. Funny, I thought that Christopher and Michael Costello were the twins. Michael even called Christopher his mini-me, and I couldn't agree more!!!
Andrea is making an apron… for a Victorian candy bar clerk…
gone wild. Because that totally makes sense. She's using a lot of Dots and it looks really easy to make. It looks like
all she has to do is to sew all the separate panels together. That’s not too
hard.
Kooan has a sketch of an outfit with a giant eye on it… That will be interesting to see...
Ven talks about how when he graduated, he was the designer of the year and won all 4 awards for his class, which has apparently never been done before. (Hypocritical Kristen Alert) The more Ven talks about himself and everything he's done, and how sub par everyone else is, the less I like him. And yes, Gunnar can be rather full of himself, but there's something about him that makes me like him.
Nathan’s making a chocolate skirt that is extremely heavy. Hopefully, his model doesn't lose her skirt on the runway.
The pattern on Chris’s skirt is exactly like the one from
the last challenge. Different color, yes, but the pattern is the same. Gunnar claims he would have pushed the envelope harder if he’d had
immunity. I'd honestly love to see that
Elena’s dress is monochromatic. ALL she seems to have is
this neutral, nude color of twizzlers (pina colada flavor apparently). With her
very hard aesthetic, the twizzlers look very... pasta-y
Tim and Ven both love Sonjia’s look, and I have to agree. Her shark bib almost looks like a scarf. Ven is making a stained glass window dress. Looks like he
has a good start! Buffi is doing this basket weave and Lantie says Buffi isn’t
up to par… Right, she's really one to talk... Gunnar’s look is all checkered, and he too seems to be doing
well.
Dmitry is waiting until his model gets there to start doing
his beading… bad idea.
Kooan strangely describes how he feels: “aaaaaaaaaaaaah”
.There’s no way to even explain how he reacted. Everyone in the workroom was laughing.
Lantie... Computer cases? Boots? No, no, no! Chris thinks she’s
sub-par. Agreed. Those materials will get her the Auf Wiedersehen.
Andrea is very underwhelming, sloppy, and crafty to Tim. Her
immediate reaction? To scrap the dress and cut it up. She gets upset during her
interview and asks to turn the cameras off. Not sure how much longer she can
stand this competition (Hmm maybe she'll be one that quits in the middle of the night... I definitely didn't predict that here or anything...) She then regretted cutting it up.
The designers ask Kooan about his look and Chris mimics Kooan. That gave me a bit of a giggle! The models come in, eat
the designer’s candy and don’t do much else.
Kristen's favorite moment of the night that she watched over and OVER:
Gunnar runs around asking what everyone is doing, really curious about everything. And, in my opinion, he was genuinely interested just to see how everyone was doing. Chris thinks Gunnar is really weird because at first he was really rude and is suddenly curious and friendly. Christopher then gives this fake high pitched laugh (shown in the gif above). The camera cuts to Gunnar laughing and his face is one of pure, hilarious, insanity (gif above!). He looks absolutely CRAZY. Like Cruella DeVil cackling- he could even pass as her with his two-tone hair. He did say he likes imagining Cruella DeVil in his clothes. That one shot was worth rewinding 10 times… and that wasn’t an exaggeration. It was priceless. I love him. He makes the show so much fun to watch.

Andrea calls something heavy (does everything weigh more in
the future? Sorry, couldn't help the Back To The Future reference) and really regrets cutting up the dress and goes back to making it.
"Lantie has dug her own grave and is stepping into the coffin"- Gunnar Deatherage
Gunnar's quote accurately explains how Lantie is doing the same thing over again. I
know she’s not going to do well because she’s using mostly real fabric!!!
“But why are you wearing hoochie shorts to work?!”-Christopher Palu
The designers return to the work room and Kooan and Buffi’s
cotton candy is all gone! Someone didn't think that all the way through!
Lantie thinks her look is girly and edgy. NO. I'm not sure she knows what edgy means. She also says
she’s never seen anything like her look. Ever think that was for a good reason, Lantie? She isn’t concerned about
her look. She should be...
Elena’s dress looks like a nude nightmare. It doesn’t look
good with the model’s skin color. I think if you're going to wear a nude colored dress, it should be close to your skin color. Even in the workroom, it was falling apart.
The models come and they do hair and makeup. Dmitry wants his girl’s lips to be
Skittle red. Yum, red skittles...
Andrea’s dress confuses me. She’s put a big fat 1 on the
front and a ginormous bubble butt in the back! I just don't get how anyone thinks that looks good!
The models get all dressed and Ven orders his model to pretty much not move.
The RUNWAY
Heidi looks like she took a nod from Lantie in her snake
skin jumper. Supposedly, it’s a Michael Costello piece. I bet Chris loved it. The guest judge for this challenge is Dylan, the owner of the candy shop.
Like last week, I'll only go over the top/bottom and those that stood out to me. Let's start the show!
Gunnar- looks great. Yes, you did turn this one out! I really thought it looked good. He made candy look really pretty!
Sonjia- the colors are great together and it looks really great and is well put together. I love turquoise, and I think she used it well.
Nathan- Fortunately, we didn't have a skirtless model moment, but his 20 lb skirt had to be held up by the model
Andrea- I bust out laughing when I saw it. It looked RIDICULOUS. The bubble butt was unflattering and there was this big, pointless 1 on the front. Chris's comment (“I’d play Twister on her”) made it even funnier!
Elena- it doesn’t look great, the model can’t walk, and it’s falling apart. Not good at all.

| Dmitry's dress |
Dmitry- His dress was BEAUTIFUL. It really looked like beads, not candy. I think Gunnar commented that when he was making his rounds in the workroom as well. I LOVED it. The more designs I see from him, the more I like his designs.
Kooan- Loud, crazy, zany, creepy, really interesting, but absolutely ridiculous. NO. just no.
Chris- it looked kinda like it didn’t fit… Gunnar was
rolling his eyes the whole time, and he should've been. The pattern was very similar to last week, just worse.
Lantie- hers was awful. Almost no candy at all, and that is never a good thing on an unconventional challenge. The dress didn't even look like a pretty dress.
Ven- really pretty. Although there’s that pesky flower again! I get that it’s his “trademark” but such a big one that is in every design should get mentioned and he should be told not to do that!!!
Buffi: Bottom 3- Carrie from sex in the city was the muse. Looks
like a 5 year old. Weaving on top was the best part, over accessorized, bottom
was too much paper. Wanted carrie bradshaw, got toddlers in tiaras.
KORSISM!: “If
you saw her wandering down the street, someone would probably put some money in
a cup.”
Sonjia: top 3- they love the shape, texture, and color, but not the hat. She did a great job connecting disparate things.
Lantie: bottom 3- 2nd dress, meltdown, never great way to start. Had same problems again, didn’t transform it. More decorating, ornamenting. Excuses, time, blahblahblah. They get upset about her excuses.
Ven: top 3- he has great taste, it looks beautiful and flattering, candy couture, refreshing, on trend pastels, not over accessorized. Just a long list of pretty words to describe the dress.
Elena: bottom 3- uses excuse that she doesn’t use much color. Needs to adapt! Now that she’s at judging, it’s COMPLETELY falling apart. Gunnar was standing next to her giggling his head off about this and I was too:
More
KORSISMS! Michael's comments about Elena's dress: “Riggatoni Mad Max”, “Now her boobs are turning into old man’s eyes and
then the crotch looks like a mustache”
Gunnar: top 3- All of his accessories, he made himself, and added stuff to the shoes to make them his own! Gold star! Dylan wants to show it in her window, which makes him happy. Gunnar’s super thankful as they keep calling it cute, chic, and flattering.
The RESULTS:
The Winner is… VEN. He really did a great job, and earns
immunity.
Sonjie, Gunnar and Elena are declared IN.
Honestly, I knew who was going to be going home before the
episode, but I was 100 percent sure by the runway show. I wasn’t even concerned
that Buffi, one of my favorites, was in the bottom two. I knew she wasn’t going
home.
LANTIE is eliminated. Honestly, not at all surprising. I
would’ve been surprised if she hadn’t gotten the boot.
When Buffi returns to the designers, Gunnar gives her a little tidbit of wisdom, which I will leave you with. See you on my next post!
