If I were aJuniordesigner Id be a little upset: The adults got to go to the show.
The kids just got to go into a room with a fake stage.
But nearly all of the kids had already seen the show anyway.

(Seriously, who are these kids?
How are they so versed in Broadway musicals when most of them dont live in NYC?)
Hannah comes out on the fake stage and introduces Laura Michelle Kelly, the female lead ofFindingNeverland.
Zach yells out, Do you play the mother?
We love the scene where you die.
Thanks for the spoiler, Zach.
Its a team challenge.
This seems a little insane to me this would be hard for experienced designers, let alone new designers!
But Tim has a little bit of magic up his sleeve.
Hes bringing in reinforcements in the form of pastRunwaycontestants.
The kids absolutely lose their minds.
This is seriouslyBeatles-level insanity.
Hopefully he means old as in from past seasons not old as in OLD.
Amanda Valentine, from seasons 11 and 13, will be helping Zachary and Matt.
Fabio Costa, from season 10, will help Maya and Peytie.
And Sonjia Williams, from season 10, is with Bridget and Jaxson.
With their adult help, the kids start working together on designs while also finding fabric in Mini Mood.
Samantha wants to do a suit, and Zach thinks they can tie in his aesthetic with a cape.
They want sexy but refined, and I am scared.
Jaxson and Bridget are having the most difficult time coming together; they cant decide on fabric colors.
Tims dubious about Samantha and Zachs jumpsuit.
As for Matt and Zachary, Tim doesnt give them very specific feedback.
Hes clearly not a fan but just tells them to execute it carefully.
Things go smoothly until the next day when the designers fit their models for the runway.
The designers get plenty of critiques from the usual four, though.
He also appreciates the creativity they used in creating a belt with an arm cuff.
AlthoughMatt and Zacharyworked well together, it didnt show in their look.
In the workroom, Bridget said that Matt brought down Zacharys design aesthetic, and the judges agree.
Hannah says the gown isnt flattering and its overdesigned.
Kelly says the chiffon draping they added made the model look as if she had a tail.
Christian tells them they should have made it a short gown so they could work on details more.
The guys had too big of a plan for a five-hour challenge.
Maybe Sonjia really did bring magic with her?
The judges are in awe of it: Hannah loves the slit.
Christian says the silhouette is great, although he could do without the slit.
Aya also loves the silhouette, and Kelly raves about the fabric.
With all the trouble they had, the pair ended up making a really great team.
Kelly says the pantsuit and printed cape thatSamantha and Zachmade felt modern medieval magic.
Aya says its something for a modern girl.
The critique is all over the place but definitely positive.
For them, its really not about the win; its about being on the show at all.
And Im loving watching it.
