Who won:
Team Tahiti! Yes, Michael, Andrea and Felicia escaped the wrath of the judges, even though they were knocked for not having a roof on their cabana. Other than that, the judges liked the Tahiti cabana the best.

Who got kicked off:
Elizabeth. She was in charge of choosing colors for her cabana, and the judges couldn't get past a lime green that she chose to represent Miami. She was trying to bring a new level of sophistication to her design and avoid doing a cliche color pallet for Miami. Well, the judges hated it.


What Elizabeth said about getting ousted? "I appreciate the opportunity, I just wish I didn't go out with ugly colors. [Bleep], what a statement."







Extreme Design Challenge:
Design and build a beach cabana. The designers were split into teams of three, and each team was given a postcard from a destination that was to influence their design. The three destinations were Miami, Tahiti and St. Tropez. There were three major jobs to be divided among the group; one member was to work with the carpenter, one member was to go to the fabric store, and one member was to go to Pier One and pick out furniture and accessories.

The team members and their tasks:

Miami: Matt, fabric Erik, furniture Elizabeth, carpentry

Tahiti: Michael , fabric Felicia, furniture Andrea, carpentry

St. Tropez: Carisa, fabric Ryan, furniture Goil, carpentry

In the end, they were judged on overall design, originality, ingenuity, teamwork, and the ability to incorporate the destination's look into their design. The winners would receive a weekend getaway to the Viceroy hotel in Santa Monica. Erik could not be eliminated because he won immunity with last week's Top Design.

Catfights:
Ryan and Carisa. They fought over who should go to the fabric store and who should go to Pier One. They fought over the angle of the roof and the way that the fabric was to be draped. Ryan thought that Carisa's rooms are too conservative, and they should "amp [this room] up a bit." Goil's take on his teammates? "Ryan is not a team player. Carisa is not a team player."


This week's drama king/queen:
Carisa. She threw a little hissy fit because she had to work out in the sun and on the beach... Well, they did have to build a beach cabana.

Who painted themselves into a corner this week?



Most improved award:
Michael. He wanted to prove that he had taste, and the judges liked his choice of fabric for Tahiti.

Who do you think should have won?
