Designers created a fantasy look based on a Michael Kor's favorite location. From Aspen to St. Tropez, chic designs came down the runway, although one design fell short.

Last week, the Project Runway models faced a new twist when the designers were forced to select new models. Each designer made his or her selections leaving one model, Ebony, without a designer.

This week's challenge required the designers to create a fantasy look based on one of Michael Kor's favorite locales. Each designer selected one of seven popular destinations.

The following episode summary contains spoilers, including the which model wins the weekly challenge and which one is eliminated.

Design Challenge Results & Designer Elimination

The episode opens with Irina being announced the challenge winner. With Christopher and Nicolas in the bottom two, Kojii and Matar feared elimination as well.

Although the models thought Christopher would be eliminated, it was Nicolas who left the competition. Kojii felt like she jinxed all of the designers since she was always paired with one of the bottom designers.

The models returned to the apartment to relax and unwind. Matar and Kalyn exercised while the other models sat around and complained about the designers. Katie complained about Christopher and felt he wasn't living up to his potential. Tanisha gave Katie advice on how to deal with her designer.

Kojii and Celine spent time together. They weren't sure whether they would be picked this week since they both offered exotic looks.

The models spent the next day at a burlesque dancing class which pushed the models out of their comfort zone. Tanisha found it sexy and fun. Celine and Katie were uncoordinated and often out of step.

Kalyn headed off to a casting call and ended up booking a job. In her photo shoot, she got up close and personal with her fellow male model.

Models of the Runway Model Elimination

Heidi met the fashion designers at the runway and brought out the models. This week the designers could pick whomever they wished.

Irina selected first due to her challenge win and she picked Kalyn again. Gordana chose Matar, Carol Hannah selected Lisa, Althea picked Tanisha, Christopher picked Katie, and Logan had to chose between Kojii and Celine. Logan having worked with both models decided to select Kojii. Due to this, Celine was eliminated.

Celine returned the apartment and the girls helped her downstairs with her luggage. She didn't want to leave but was happy to have made so many new friends.
