PRTCNJ: Challenge 5

Here it is! The final challenge of Project Runway: TCNJ! After these votes are tallied, we'll have the final three designers. These three lucky souls will then have time to create a collection to show the judges and finally, the winner will be announced.

For the final challenge, the designers and the models met at the runway for model selection.

It was very difficult for everyone to choose their models, but in the end, one model was eliminated from the competition.

CONSUELA

As much as I'd like to say that I really stood a chance of appearing in Elle magazine, I know that as a mother of eight children, I couldn't really have a career as a fashion model. Eight kids are a lot of responsibility; between feeding them, changing their diapers, and pimping them out on television and tabloids, how could I have the time to pose in fashion magazines? Good luck to the rest of the models and remember, if you'd like to make a donation (food, diapers, make-up, whatever you want really) then please talk to the producers for my contact information. And look for my reality show, airing sometime next year!!

Farewell Consuela! And good luck.

The designers were then given their final competition challenge:

Using only shopping bags, create a futuristic look

The designers were not given bags to use, but had the ability to use whatever shopping bags they had. They also could swap with other designers. (Therefore, don't try to guess the designer based on what bags they used!!)

But before the designers could begin, they were given a shock:

The four eliminated contestants were returning to pair up with the final 4!

The teams were chosen at random and were:

ENRICO & DELISA

CHRISTIE & ROSS

YARIS & STEVENSON

RICHARD PARKER & DANA

The groups quickly got together and began designing.

Christie used her relationship with her partner to her advantage....

Delisa and Enrico kept the energy up and worked together like true heroes.

Unfortunately, Enrico's super-speed resulted in a small accident while designing.

But Delisa used her healing powers and he was cured in 30 seconds.

Meanwhile, Dana learned what it was like to work with a hamster.

Unfortunately, shortly after they finished sketching a design, Stevenson and Yaris got into a fight that resulted in Stevenson's (second) removal from the competition. Although pictures of this altercation were captured, they will not be posted due to the violence, nudity, and foul language contained in them.

The groups finished working together and four futuristic outfits made their way down the runway.
