With some time restricted and styling challenges under their belt, it was time to test our contestant's ingenuity, creativity and constructability. In this challenge we handed our designers a real do-it-yourselfer. Sure, Bruno, Marianna, Ambrose, Yamina, Penny and Jo may be smart and sassy, but how well can they hack a free-standing coat rack?
With one hundred and fifty dollars at their disposal, our six remaining contestants were sent on a Rona shopping spree to purchase the supplies and materials they'll need to hammer out a good frame.
Post rack challenge, our contestants readied themselves for their on-camera "RANT": a challenge that tested their ability to wax—passionately and poetically on a design-related subject.
Unfortunately, the creator with the worst rack n' rant, Jo, was asked to hang up her hat, leaving just five contestants standing.
