"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.
