Challenges

Challenge 1: White Room Challenge

The designers are paired, and each must design a room based on his or her partner's personality. Nina wins the challenge, although her partner Courtland complains that she "threw [him] under the bus" by misleading him as to her style preferences. Julie and Emily are the bottom two, and Julie is eliminated.

Challenge 2: Fashion-Forward Room Design

The designers are divided by sex, and each designer selects a piece of fashion from a runway show. The challenge is to incorporate the fashion into the design of a one-bedroom apartment. The Men's team wins the challenge, and Courtland is the over-all winning designer. Tera and Nina face off in the bottom two, with Nina remaining and Tera eliminated.

Challenge 3: Musical-Instrument-Inspired Room

It is again men vs. women, with the women selecting Dan to join them to balance the numbers. Each team member chooses a musical instrument to incorporate into the design of an outdoor patio. Nina emerges as the over-all winner as her team won the challenge. Trent and Alex are the bottom two. With Trent expressing his discomfort with the dynamic, the judges eliminate him.

Challenge 4: Flower Power

Each designer selects a flower. Teams design a studio apartment, drawing inspiration from each flower in the team's bouquet while making sure each designer's flower is represented. Vern warns the designers that simply translating the color palette of the flowers into the room will lead to elimination. The judges are unable to declare a winning team and switch to judging the designers on their individual merits. Alex and Dan are the bottom two, and Dan is eliminated.

Challenge 5: New York's Bravest Makeovers

The designers are shuffled into two new teams. Nina, Courtland, Tom, and Stacey are the Red Team; and Alex, Michael, Casey, and Emily are the Blue Team. They are challenged to design rooms for a New York City Fire Department firehouse, with each designer tasked to inject a signature design element into his or her space. The Red Team is designing for Engine 5; and the Blue Team, for Engine 18. The Blue Team wins, despite Michael's being out for much of day two after a nail gun injury to his thumb. Casey is selected as this episode's top designer and was especially lauded for her work on a firefighter silhouette. The Red Team is shocked to learn that the judges were "physically angry" about its design, with harsh criticism for each signature element except Stacey's. Nina and Courtland are the bottom two, and Nina is eliminated.

Challenge 6: Getting Trumped

The designers are again split into teams. Alex, Casey, Emily, and Michael are the Blue Team; and Courtland, Tom, and Stacey are the Red Team. The challenge is to design a model apartment for the Trump Plaza Residences in Jersey City, New Jersey. Guest judge Donald Trump Jr. advises the teams to keep the Trump brand of luxury in mind. Each designer also selects a package of souvenirs that must be incorporated into the apartment. The Blue Team prevails, and Alex is named the over-all winner. The judges are so appalled by the Red Team's work, in general, and by Stacey, in particular, that they eliminate her before the host presentations. Tom is also eliminated, and Courtland is warned that he has no more chances.

Challenge 7: Sears Catalog Kitchen Challenge

Guest judge John Gidding (of HGTV's Curb Appeal ) substitutes for Candice. Emily moves to the Red Team with Courtland, and the designers are challenged to design a kitchen to be used in a photo shoot for a Sears catalog. Each team selects a cultural-theme basket for inspiration, and each designer must choose an item from the basket to incorporate into the team design. The Red Team chooses the Italian basket, and the Blue Team selects the French basket. Because the judges believe both teams did so well, no winning team is chosen; Casey is named the winning individual designer. The other four designers each record a hosting presentation. Alex and Emily are the bottom two designers, and Alex is eliminated.

Challenge 8: Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen Challenge

Following a four-course brunch prepared by chef Aarón Sanchez, the designers must make over dining spaces by repurposing materials that are already in the spaces. Additionally each designer must select one of the four dishes as their individual inspiration. Courtland (empanada) and Casey (tamale) are the Red Team, and Michael (fruit salad) and Emily (huevos rancheros) are the Blue Team. After viewing all four hosting presentations, the judges eliminate Courtland.

Challenge 9: The Glass House Challenge

The remaining designers—Casey, Emily, Michael—are tasked to design a sunroom that incorporates both their own personal style and their concept for an HGTV series. Season 4 winner Antonio Ballatore stops by to offer encouragement, and each designer gets help from a friend from home. Casey is eliminated.

Challenge 10: Lights! Camera! Action!

The final two designers, Michael and Emily, prepare a television presentation with the help of the eliminated contestants. Each finalist shoots an extended presentation of their proposed series using an eliminated designer as inspiration. Emily chooses Tom because their personal styles are so different, and Michael chooses Nina because he knows she will challenge his creativity. Michael is eliminated, and Emily becomes the new Design Star.
