An avant-garde challenge with 3-D prints amps up the runway.
But thats just Kelly: unapologetic about what she likes.
And because of that, shes worked her way into all of our hearts.

But she keeps proving me and the judges wrong.
And this week was no different.
Candice and Merline are given the Queensboro Bridge; and Edmond and Ashley are given the Manhattan Bridge.

Merline is ecstatic because, well, Ill just let her tell you: I love 3-D!
I see things in 3-D when I walk!
This will be interesting.

After sketching and Mood shopping, the designers are off.
Edmond has a vision, but per usual, he cant really describe it.
But that doesnt stop Tim from getting it.

Tim has serious issues with Merlines construction, but he has a positive response to her concept.
But Tims the most impressed with Candices 3-D designs.
As Merline says: I see why celebrities are on drugs.

This pressure would kill you.
NEXT: Wonder ifMerlinesees this runway in 3-D?
Lets have a look…
Edmondknows how to craft a look that perfectly suits a womans body.

And he does that here.
Heidi wants to wear his dress and thinks its the perfect balance of sex appeal and class.
Mel B wants to fight Heidi for it.
Now, this is not a dress any of us would probably wear, butKellynailed the avant-garde challenge.
Nina is happy with the innovation and the suspension that Kelly played with.
Heidi loves the silhouette but wishes Kelly had used the 3-D printing a bit more.
And thats part of the problem withMerlines dress.
Her silhouette is too similar toKinis umbrella dress from last season.
As much as the judges like the look, they wish she had pushed it more.
At the last minute,Ashleydecided to add a cape to her edgy two-piece look.
Nina thinks its fantastic and out there.
They all agree that the underpiece is sexy and the cape helps take it to another level.
No one can agree what her 3-D designs actually look like (that thing you buzz your hair with?
), and theyre split on the program.
Nina doesnt like it, but Heidi is into it.
Hands down,Candicehas the best use of the 3-D appliques.
Unlike the other designers, she created multiple designs and used them to enhance the contours of her dress.
Theres nothing inherently wrong with that, but it doesnt exactly scream Queensboro Bridge and it definitely isnt avant-garde.
But the real winner is…
This means were down to four and that has me wondering: Does the Tim Gunn Save still exist?
