Tonight, on The Fashion Show, Kristin decides that the competition is too tough for her and bails out.  Isaac calls all of the contestants together and tells them that they’ll be working the same teams that they did on the first challenge.  James-Paul, as the winner of the last challenge, was given the power to send someone to Keith’s team and he picks Daniella, who is more than happy to get away from Merlin.  For their first challenge tonight, teams will have to decipher the difference between high end and bargain clothing items.  James-Paul’s teams blow everyone away, completing a bank and a budget look in just over three and a half minutes.

The designers will have to bring it this week, especially since they’re designing for a socialite Tinsley Mortimer.  They’ll have to create several different looks for her, but on a budget of $40.  James-Pau’s team gets an extra $10 for winning the challenge.  Big whoop.  The team leaders are Anna, Haven, and James-Paul and Tinsley’s different events include: a rock concert, an art gallery opening, a ladies luncheon, and a charity gala.  It doesn’t take long for designers to start questioning the designs of others, especially Laura’s dress, which no one seems to like.

Guests at tonight’s fashion show include fashion retail consultants, stylists, photographers, and designers.  James-Paul’s team is up first and their looks seem a little too dressy for some of the events.  Anna’s team hit’s the runway next and with a few small exceptions, I love their designs, especially Andrew’s little black dress.  Haven’s team is the last to go and it wouldn’t surprise me if they were in trouble tonight with the judges.  After the show, her team turns on Laura backstage, blaming her if they end up losing.

James-Paul’s team is safe from elimination and Anna’s team wins the challenge.  Good call, judges!  Tinsley tells Daniela that she would wear her outfit right out of there and she is named the winner.

The juges come down hard on Laura, saying that one audience member felt her design made her model look like a homeless person.  Isaac criticizes Johnny for having safety pins on his garment and he fires back at the panel, saying he's not a seamstress.  Isaac gets aggravated with his excuses and shuts him down.  Johnny responds by telling Isaac to send him home - ballsy.  After a heated deliberation, the judges return with their decision.  Laura and Johnny end up in the bottom two but the panel decides to give Johnny another chance.  Someone needs an attitude adjustment.

The Fashion Show airs Thursday nights at 10pm ET on Bravo.
