- Gunnar Deatherage

- Amanda Perna

As for the rest they survive for the first challenge of the season.

After being awaken by Tim Gunn at 5 in the morning, their first challenge is to use their own PJ's and one bed sheet and turn them into an outfit of their choice. Dyes, trim, and closures were provided; and their models were randomly assigned for 1 challenge only (and maybe more) I guess.

Guest judging this challenge is Christina Ricci (from ABC's "Pan Am" beginning this fall).
