"This Episode is
Pure Garbage" -
August 26
Back at the Loft.. Elizabeth is honored to be in the
final four without having or using traditional design
skills. Chris says Tommy has an idea who he is looking
for. I have have been working 10 years to get this
far. I am ready. He was blown away that Tommy
complimented his clothes.
Felix is interested to see what happens next. He is
going to hire Liz if he wins. He is going to work with
her to get into the finals. Chris says Liz's clothes
dont turn him on. She wouldn't have gotten this far
without Felix's help. He thinks there is going to be
something for the final two competitors...not just
one. Princess is bone tired, but she is going to bust
her ass and bring it home.
The final four meet at the Port of Bayonne in Bayonne,
NJ. They meet Tommy by a garbage barge. He explains
this week's design assignment.
CHALLENGE: The barge full of garbage will sail to
Miller's Landing and it will take 2 hours to get
there. You will each strip whatever is there into
material to make an outfit. You have to make an outfit
literally out of garbage. You will get 48 hours to
complete the assignment. You will get $500 each to
hire any help you need. You will also have a model
from Elite Model Agency to model the outfit in Style
Forum.
But this time, there are no excuses. No more teams.
The final four will be working individually. He wants
to see each person's vision, drive and stamina..
Now, if you win you will become a part of the Tommy
Hilfiger family. So, tonight, the four are invited to
a dinner party at Tommy's house. He tells them to
"work hard".
The foghorn starts and all four members hit the boat.
Felix jumped on and hit the life preserver and went
dumpster diving. We see the boat sailing towards
Staten Island We see all 4 members going nuts.
Princess--"I am so ready to go this and send everybody
home."
Felix strips a plaid coach. Chris thinks about a dress
with red Satin. Liz sees a couch, but it's buried.
Felix helps her couch and she strips it. Princess is
sick and vomits. Liz and Felix talk about the project
together. Liz doesn't feel threatened by Felix.
Everyone is scrambling for material.
They hit Miller's Landing and go back to Manhattan
with their stripped material. It's now 6:30PM and
thank goodness everyone showered before they hit the
Hilfiger house. Liz is nervous going there. She feels
disadvantaged because everyone met him before. And she
has "Nothing to wear." Princess is being cutesy. "Do
you think Mr. H likes me a little bit? Because I have
a little personality, a little sparkle?"
In the Taxi, Felix tells Liz she can have twice the
time. "Tommy says I talk too much. I will shut up." He
also says, "He is a casual man and we flew to Sundance
together." The team arrives by taxi to Tommy's huge
house. Chris says this is their last chance to shine.
As Tommy opens the door, Liz joked, "We were in the
neighborhood." And we see his gorgeous
house, which includes a heated pool. We are then
introduced to his girlfriend, and his children Richard
and Ally. Ally, if you remember, was on her own
reality show on MTV called "Rich Girls" in 2004.
Liz says meeting his girlfriends and kids, it was like
going to a friend's house for dinner. We see the place
cards and a setup like a true dinner party. Felix
says, "Liz was lucky to get to sit next to him." Tommy
asks, "Who is strong here?" Liz speaks up for Felix.
But Tommy says "Felix is your friend and you worked
with him a lot." Princess tells him "Nobody expected
Liz and Felix to be here." He asks "how is it working
with Chris?" And we switch to them leaving the party
to work on their outfits.
20 hours to go--Felix and Liz talk to Elite about
their models. Princess talks to Sunna, a tall Kate
Moss like African Model. Liz walks down, and she shuts
up. Princess--"Liz has to go bye bye." Liz is doing a
1920's inspired dress.
Chris explains the Felix/Liz buddy system won't work.
"One of them has to cut the other." Chris takes Kenza,
his model, out for coffee. He thinks this treatment of
his model will make the difference. He likes to treat
them special.
17 Hours to go. Liz and Felix meet with Pat, the
pattern maker and they draw out stuff. Liz says Pat,
"helps me be successful".
15 Hours to go. Princess and Chris are in their own
spaces. "Chris is letting me be in my space w/pattern
making. You have to be quiet when counting stitches."
Princess and Chris are hot because Liz just "bogarted"
the space. Kevin, a sewer, meets with Liz too.
Princess goes nuts when she sees Liz getting people to
do her stuff. "I graduated with a 3.946 from design
school, OK? She can't do it with her own skills. I am
going to bust my ass and sure I don't get the peace
sign, OK? I can't take it anymore...and she is STILL
HERE?!?!?"
12 hours to go...Liz's iron bottom was brown and she
went to borrow an iron. But Chris and Princess didn't
give it. She wasn't thrilled with going back to the
loft and getting the iron. Princess, "I would pay not
to hear her voice herself."
Felix, Chris, and Princess explain their concepts to
the seamstress. Princess, "It's going down tonight,
and I am giving 210%."
Liz is nervous her seamstress won't execute her
concept. And her fabric is difficult to work with.
Pat--"I am not going home tonight."
8:00AM 8 hours to go...everyone is exhausted. Felix is
up..."No one is more committed or creative than me.
10:00AM 2 hours to go...Chris says Princess is my
biggest competitor. Liz had issues with the
Fabric....really nervous that the dress is a disaster.
Seamstress tells her to go away. She throws the dress
on the glue gun, but it escapes damage. "I am about to
say the rosary right now."
Chris and Princess's models arrive.
30 minutes to go...everyone is going nuts...10 minutes
to go...and we are done!
Chris is interested to see what the outcome is. Liz--I
am interested to see what Mr. H thinks. I have refined
taste. Felix--my designs are classic. Princess--If I
let Liz beat me, then it's my time. But I am so NOT
READY to go home." Whoever wins, will hire the other
partner. Chris wants to win this. He thinks he did his
best on this outfit. Felix thinks he is in the finals.
He feels real strongly about the outfits. Liz hopes
the Final two are her and Felix.
Time for the Style Forum. The final four enter and
Tommy enters. He recaps the assignment...and talks
about the nice dinner they had. He asks Liz who
doesn't belong. She hems and haws and Tommy comes back
to her. Chris says Liz. Princess says Liz. Liz says
Princess. Princess says that is a "hater move".
Princess says that something is "not genuine to me."
Liz calls her narrow. Tommy says he is looking for a
big picture view. She defends her skills, but Tommy
cuts her off because all she is doing is listing
"details". Felix says, "Chris and Liz. Liz is shocked.
Tommy asks why. Felix says, "Lack of experience."
Chris says he is living and learning and he started a
company at 25. Felix says he has been doing this for
10 years. Chris says he is 26, young and hungry. Tommy
says that the "water under the bridge" as he called
the 10 years maybe clouding the vision I am looking
for.
Tommy asks for the models to come in.
Felix's is 1st. He describes hit outfit.
Chris is next. His is a "traveler"
Liz is next. It has a 50's sophisticate feel.
Princess is last. Her model rips skirt off and tosses
it on the runway and describes the outfit.
He brings everyone into the pit...except Liz. He
called the dress "chic, sophisticated" and is declared
the winner. "You are head and shoulders above the
rest. It was fantastic. Liz, you are on fire!"
He turns to Chris...he liked the woman's wear. He was
impressed. Chris is out of the pit.
Princess is next. "You could have done a much better
job." She starts to defend herself...and he said, "I
said, NO EXCUSES." He was disappointed and she runs to
get the skirt off the runway and put it on the model.
"Show it to me," he said. He asks, "What is
trendsetting about this?" She couldn't answer.
Felix: "There is no beauty in this outfit. A plaid
shirt, green jeans and leather vest. This doesn't
impress me." Felix says Princess's outfit was a "poor
presentation" of a female." Felix defends his outfit
and said they could be worn anywhere. He asks the
three models if they have boyfriends and if they would
like them to be seen in that. None of them said yes,
although one didn't like the pants. He was looking for
beauty, and Felix is out of style.
Felix is "stupefied". He called Princess's dress,
"cool...if you want to look like a transvestite rap
star who wants to dress like a hooker. I should still
be in the competition." (Note to Felix: You are right.
You got hosed.)
Tommy ends with: "This is the final three. You have
made it this far. The next assignment will encompass
everything you have experienced so far. Work Hard, and
Be Prepared."
Next Week: The series finale, as a winner is
crowned...with Jennifer Lopez and Naomi Campbell look
on. |
