Zulema shocked her competitors by taking their models, claiming that it was just part of the game (in her defense, it was).

Santino had an out-there sense of style that he seldom held back, often following his own vision rather than listening to Tim or the other judges' suggestions. In the workroom, his strong personality came through, especially when he impersonated Tim and trashed other designers.

The series' first (and only) disqualification: Once Kayne found pattern-making and how-to books in Keith's room-violations of the show's rules-the producers were notified, and Tim informed Keith that he was out, effective immediately.
