Yas, power stance!
Alyssa tells the designers that shes sending them on an inspirational trip to a castle in the countryside.
Everyone gets really excited, especially Merline (whos like a littletooexcited).

The challenge is to design a ballgown for a modern-day princess.
Its a bouncy castle filled with balls.
The designers have to literally make a BALLgown.
Lifetime
A gown made out of balls.
The designers are screaming.
How many times are we going to say balls today?
Project Runway All Stars.Lifetime
asked Fabio, echoing my thoughts.
As you mightve figured out by now, this is the scary, fun, fearless, unconventional challenge.
Everyone is inspired, especially Stanley, who is going balls to the wall with his kaleidoscope-inspired column gown.
Lifetime
Unfortunately, not all the designers are having a ball.
Helen starts to get lost in her head about her design and struggles with her material.
Anthonys material is stunning but not that great to work with it keeps ripping and working against him.
Lifetime
Now its time for the mentorship ofMarie Claireeditor-in-chief Anne Fulenwider.
Anne warns her to avoid making a Halloween look, given her bright choice of material.
As for Amanda, she tells Anne she is making a psychedelic princess dress?
Lifetime
I dont know; Amanda seems a little lost.
Which Anne clearly notices.
Joshua thinks the cotton balls were just a trick designed to fool the designers and Kimberly fell for it.
Lifetime
Girl, lady, listen, shut up, says Anthony in response to Helens hot-glue-gun comment.
When the models arrive, not one of the designers is ready for the fitting.
Amandacreated a column dress that wasnota ballgown for the Met Gala.
Instead, she made am experimental dress for Cannes.
I still dont see her vision.
Georgina loves the back of the dress, which features hacky sacks.
Isaac thinks its a great dress but not a ballgown.
Guest judge Kacey appreciates the rudeness of Amandas creation.
Alyssa hates it, especially because it doesnt fit the model at all.
Isaac says that for a short dress, it truly feels elegant and mysterious.
Georgina praises Fabios clever use of his textile and sculpting his models body.
Kacey calls it arichdress, in the context of wealth.
Kimberlyused beach balls to create a young and fresh dress, which Alyssa loves.
The host compliments Kimberlys ability to work her materials and create movement.
She basically said the dress was ugly, okay.
Candicedisappointed Georgina with her blob of plastic deflated balls.
Georgina calls the design unflattering.
Isaac is mad, but not at Candice hes mad at the dress.
Stanleyworked his balls to create a chic, Audrey Hepburn-inspired look, and Georgina caught on.
Isaac says he loves the shape of the dress.
Kacey says its a smart dress: almost editorial but not quite.
Georgina appreciates her effort but calls her dress basic.
Isaac agrees, saying that her dress just wasnt enough.
Cue Kacey Musgraves, who tells Helen that her color scheme reminded her of Best Buy.
So heres where things get spicy.
Helen is not taking her critique very well because she worked very hard on her Best Buy-looking textile.
Again, I was more concerned with executing and fit.
Isaac, not one to stay quiet, screams, Shade, shade!
I want more of this drama every week, just!
Thankfully the cameras follow the designers back into the waiting room and it gets real in 0.2 seconds.
Helen implodes and starts crying.
She makes a dramatic exit while saying that she respects everyone as a designer.
Do I believer her?
Bring on the Emmys; theyve earned it.
Once she finally decides to appear, she looks sad and grumpy.
Seriously, adds Isaac.
Im just the host, replies Alyssa with a shady shrug.
Plus, what an iconic line she delivered: Cest la vie,Project Runway.
Do you agree with the judges?
Let me know your thoughts about Balls Out!
