Last night the cruel engineers of reality TV torture decided to dangle the ultimate carrot in front of the tired and malnourished struggling small-time designers: money. Tonight's challenged tasked the crew with creating a "serious wow moment" Paris couture-caliber showstopper. The winner's design would not only be featured in a L'Oreal magazine ad, but they would also receive a whopping $20,000. The significance of which was distilled by the look on Mondo's face when he confessed to the camera that he'd never made more than 12k in a year. So off they went to Mood with $300 of supply money and the security of knowing that they had not one but two—two!—days to work on what should be the most impressive garment thus far in their careers. Meanwhile Tim played with the little shop dog and Ivy rambled on about creating happy little blue waves on her dress.
So obviously something was bound to fuck it up.
Good news and bad news after the break.
