Although this was not a team challenge, the judges considered that both designers had outfits, that were good enough to be considered winners.

Although this was a team challenge the designers were evaluated individually. In this episode there was not a bottom two.

The judges did not split the group into "high" or "low" scorers. Hence, there was no winner; designers either advanced to finale or were eliminated.
