- The sun rises on another episode of 'Project Runway' and Gordana is thrilled to have made it this far. Over on the boys side, Nicolas makes an annoucement: "America, here I come!" The designers head to the runway. "Hallo!" Heidi squeaks. "You're getting closer and closer to Bryant Park." She then explains that the kids will head to Rodeo Drive to meet a "world renowned" designer who will introduce their next challenge. But who!? Tim introduces ... Michael Kors. Oh. ANYWAY, familiar face Michael describes the challenge: find inspiration from a location around the world. Carol, who won the last challenge, picks first. She choose Palm Beach. Nicolas draws Greece. Althea opts for St. Tropez. Gordana goes for New York. Cocky Irina picks Aspen. Christopher takes Santa Fe. Logan, the last man to choose, is stuck with Hollywood. Let the sketching begin! One shopping trip to Mood later, the guys and gals get to work. Logan is going for "bohemian, comfortable with tight, skinny jeans." Irina is going for a three-piece look with pants, sweater and fur vest. Ambitious! Nicolas, in the meantime, claims to be taking a risk in creating a tomboy-fantasy hybrid set in the Greek isles. Carol worries that she doesn't have enough fabric for her sunny-weather print dress. Irina notices that everyone is "cracking jokes every five minutes." Naturally, Ms. Cocky is disapproving. Christopher worries that the last few challenges have resulted in bottom finishes. He better step up. Tim enters to do some mentoring. He urges Gordana to start on her dress as soon as possible (good advice). "It just makes me nervous to leave you like this," he says. Us too. Althea wants her dress to look expensive, which Tim agrees is a "must." Christopher runs his flowing blue top with a belted, brown dress by Tim, who warns him that it "can't all be about the belt." Irina tells the camera that Christopher's dress looks like something an "Amish person would wear." Tim then moves to Carol, who wants to do a long, flowy dress that reminds the judges of the beach. Tim worries that the dress is cliché. Carol doesn't disagree. Tim seems to like Nicolas' Grecian creation and urges Irina to watch the faux fur. Nicolas tells the camera that Irina's creation is "borderline costume." Mee-oww! Tim leaves, the models enter and the designers do some quick fitting. Meanwhile, the clock continues to click. At this point, the designers begin to worry -- as they do every week at this time. "This is 'Little House on the Prairie,'" Christopher says of his outfit. So he cuts about 20 inches from the bottom of the dress. Problem solved! The next morning, Gordana makes bacon. Nicholas, in the meantime, is busy referring to himself in the third person. The designers then head back to the workroom, where everyone is "silently panicking," according to Carol. Tim sends in the models once again. Christopher is suddenly excited about his newer, shorter outfit. Gordana likes her dress, but worries the judges will not understand what she is trying to convey. Logan notices that Nicolas has gone off into his "own world" -- and it's nowhere near Greece, unfortunately. Interestingly, Nicolas agrees. "I definitely don't see Greece in it," he tells the camera. That could be a problem. Too late now, though. Time to hit the runway! Squeaky Heidi welcomes the recruits. "As you know in fashion, one day you're in and the next day you're out," she says -- shocking exactly no one Yes, Heidi then introduces the judges: Michael, Nina and actress/model/etc. Milla Jovovich. The show begins and -- you guessed it -- the designers LOVE their garments! To be fair, though, Nicolas and Carol wonder whether the judges will share in the love fest. Gordana also worries about the grey color choice of her New York dress. It's not flashy, after all. But wait -- we've already forgotten the fundamental rules! Luckily, Heidi is only too ready to help nurture our fragile little minds. "One of you will be named the winner and one of you will be out," Heidi recites as if someone pushed the "play" button on the back of her neck. Althea is immediately dismissed from the runway for having a qualifying score. Irina is first up. Milla thinks the look is "cool," while Michael calls it a "80s Aspen thing" -- and not in a bad way. Christopher's Santa Fe concoction gets low marks across the board. Heidi thinks the only interesting thing about the outfit is the super-hip belt. Carol's beach-ready dress is "beautiful," according to Nina. Michael is also complimentary. Nicolas' Greece-outfit, on the other hand, is ALL sorts of a hot mess. "I think you got 'Grease' the movie," Michael says. Nina wonders who in the world would spend money on the outfit. Gordana's grey dress with crystal trim is "quite beautiful," according to Heidi. Michael calls it "sexy, sophisticated" -- just like Park Avenue. Logan's Hollywood-inspired pants and coat -- inspired by Lohan or Mary Kate -- gets lukewarm reviews. One judges confab later, the designers come back out to face their fates. Carol is ... in. Irina is ... the winner! Not surprisingly, Irina isn't surprised. "It feels amazing knowing that I won three challenges," she tells the camera. Not that she's keeping score or anything. Gordana is ... in. Logan is ... in. That leaves Christopher and Nicolas. "One of you will be out," Heidi helpfully explains. "Nicolas, you sadly missed the mark ... Christopher, you are in the bottom two yet again. Where was the fantasy and inspiration?" Christopher is ... in! And that means Nicolas is OUT. He says his goodbyes to the judges, which makes Milla cry. Nicolas heads back to the workroom to clean up his stuff. "Because of my over-the-top style, it has been very hard for me to break into the fashion industry," he tells the camera. Adios, Nic.
