The remaining five designers are asked to make 10-look collections with $10,000.
Because thats as many spots as Heidi will guarantee.
To the home visits we go!
Barbara Nitke/Lifetime
Tim stops in Salt Lake City to visit Ayana.
He meets her mom, who is also named Ayana, and friend, Jax.
But Tim likes what he sees and tells her to work hard and work smart to get caught up.

Then Tim goes to see Kenya in Atlanta.
But who cares about the collection when youve got a family like Kenyas?
I want them to get their own spin-off reality show.

(Lifetime, make this happen.)
Next up is Kentaro in L.A.
He chats with his family via FaceTime, but when Tim arrives, its straight down to business.

I dare you to find me a better, weirder quote from the history of this show.
Kentaro is just a gem.
Hes not so crazy about the crochet and golden rings shes incorporating, though.
Barbara Nitke/Lifetime
He meets Brandons girlfriend, Dina, who is adorable just like he is.
Hes crazy about it all and thinks Brandon is on a great course.
On the runway, theyre greeted by the return of TV Heidi.
Actually, none of the judges do.
Her black dress was moving all over the place as the model walked the runway.
Nina says she likes how she made everything look so luxe, but theres a problem with styling.
Shes focused on too many things, and the cover-ups are hiding the great pieces underneath.
Ayanas collection, on the other hand, gets more positive reviews.
Heidi loves the color palette and the ease that the clothes have she says theyre fresh and modern.
Nina likes the juxtaposition of distressed and refined and is surprised by Ayanas design aesthetic in this collection.
Zac simply says he wants to see more.
And bringing it back down, Heidi tells Kentaro his white look is questionable.
She loves the other look but doesnt think these two present a cohesive collection.
Nina says theres a disconnect as well and she doesnt like how he can get too conceptual.
Zac says he cant tell where Kentaro is going with the collection and that makes him nervous.
Nina sums up Brandons collection by saying its a female version of him in clothes.
Shes in love with the look, the hair, the styling, and the attitude.
Heidi loves it all, too.
She does point out that Liris needs a simpler top, and Zac agrees.
Heidi agrees that its gutsy and loud, but she likes it.
And the three four going to fashion week are…
Brandon.
Which means that Kenya is out.
Im personally very sad.
And I think you know who Im talking about…
So what do you think of the final four collections?
Are you surprised to see Kenya out?
Surprised to see someone else in?
Talk it out below, and Ill see you back here next week for the finale.
