"Project Runway saw five designers leaving during its premiere last week, and this week&amp;#039;s episode sees the remaining contestants tasked with an &amp;quot;unconventional&amp;quot; challenge. They are given a budget of $300 and just one day to put together a look using only materials sourced at a pet store.  The materials they use are:  Danielle: Rope dog toys, potty training pads Fallene: Dog bed, aquarium seaweed Anthony Ryan: Birdseed Bert: Dog bed, bird cage netting Julie: Leashes, dog food bags Anya: Leashes, rope dog toys Bryce: Hamster bedding and potty training pads Kimberly: Dog pillow, aquarium tubing Josh C: Umbrella, reptile cage lining Viktor: Potty training pads Cecilia: Dog collars, hamster bedding Olivier: Dog bedding, hamster bedding Becky: Aquarium flowers Laura: Catch scratch cardboard, leashes Josh M: Aquarium rocks, reptile cage lining Bert knows that his design doesn&amp;#039;t meet the challenge requirements of being unconventional but he has immunity after winning last week&amp;#039;s challenge so he is safe.  &amp;gt; Meet Project Runway&amp;#039;s season nine designers The Runway Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia are joined by fashion designer Stacey Bendet - the co-founder of Alice &amp;amp; Olivia - for the runway show.  Danielle, Julie, Laura, Viktor, Becky, Cecila, Kimberly, Anya and Bert are all declared safe, although Heidi warns Bert that he is lucky he had immunity. &amp;quot;I agree,&amp;quot; he replies. It means that Josh M, Josh C, Oliver, Fallene, Bryce and Anthony Ryan are the top three and bottom three designers for the week.  &amp;gt; View pictures of each designer&amp;#039;s final piece here  Bryce Bryce made a blue bodice from rabbit bedding and a layered blue skirt from potty training pads. Unfortunately both Michael and Heidi think the skirt is like &amp;quot;ugly napkins&amp;quot; tacked together, adding it&amp;#039;s been done before. The judges don&amp;#039;t like the fit of the top or the model&amp;#039;s styling, which includes big sunglasses. Heidi asks Bryce where the model is meant to be going and when he replies that he doesn&amp;#039;t know, she says that&amp;#039;s a big problem. Nina thinks she looks like a member of the Blue Man Group and points out a lot of texture on a top and a voluminous skirt lacks balance. Stacey thinks the top has nice texture but the fit isn&amp;#039;t great.    Anthony Ryan His dress is created entirely from bird seeds. Heidi think the silhouette is great and the model looks &amp;quot;strong and modern&amp;quot;. She also likes the high neckline which is made from a darker seed to the rest of the dress. Nina says the collar is dramatic yet simple and the brown leather belt around the waist adds a nice touch. Both Michael and Stacey like the fact you can&amp;#039;t immediately tell it is made from bird seed. The only criticism is that the hemline is a bit short. Anthony Ryan reveals he had intended to add grass underneath but he chopped it off because he thought it was overkill.    Oliiver He created a top from fluffy dog bedding and used pine wood hamster and rabbit bedding for the skirt, which starts a pale cream colour at the waist and ends a dark brown at the hem. The belt is piping for a fish tank. Nina would photograph the dress for Marie Claire &amp;quot;in a minute&amp;quot;, calling it very editorial. Michael loves the colours and silhouette and says it&amp;#039;s not the sort of tailoring you&amp;#039;d expect from pet store supplies. Heidi agrees he manipulated the materials to make the dress sophisticated. Stacey is equally impressed. The only criticism is the bedding stuck on the model&amp;#039;s eyebrows.    Josh C He sourced an umbrella with puppy print and then coloured, reversed and turned it out for a watercolour effect for his slashed neck top. The skirt is a black reptile cage finished with collar and leashes around the waist. Heidi says the problem is he used too much normal material when the challenge was about being unconventional. Michael agrees that he missed the mark with the design. He also thinks the cut of the top makes the model look like she&amp;#039;s nursing triplets. Stacey thinks the model looks like she&amp;#039;d be at home in a college bar rather than being fashionable.    Josh M He made a high-waisted &amp;#039;50s style circle skirt with reptile cage material, teamed with a midriff baring top made from green, blue and pink aquarium rocks in a pattern he created. Nina thinks it&amp;#039;s colourful and beautiful and the skirt is a great shape. Heidi says it&amp;#039;s great, modern and unique but the model&amp;#039;s wearing too much make-up. Stacey thinks the top is brilliant because it&amp;#039;s sparkly but the accessories are too vampy. Michael agrees that the outfit itself is so fabulous he didn&amp;#039;t need to turn her into &amp;quot;Sea Vixen Barbie&amp;quot; by adding excess accessories (such as dog toys on the heels of her shoes) and colorful make-up.   Fallene She wanted a hippy-chic vibe with sea kelp from an aquarium for the skirt and dog bedding for the top. Heidi thinks the silhouette is too simple and there is nothing exciting about the outfit. Nina and Michael are bothered by the colour combination of the orangey-red skirt and brown top, and Nina says the belt makes the model&amp;#039;s torso look really short. Alice agrees, advising that accessories should help, not harm an outfit. Fallene says she isn&amp;#039;t happy with the outfit and can&amp;#039;t defend it because she knows she can do better.  &amp;gt; Project Runway recap: Week 1 - Christina Ricci guest judges &amp;gt; Project Runway pictures: Week 2, nightwear challenge Oliiver is named the winner, although we see in the judges&amp;#039; deliberation that it was a very tight race between him and Anthony Ryan. Heidi even tells Anthony Ryan that his look was her favorite but she was overruled.  Fallene and Josh C are the bottom two. Heidi tells Fallene her outfit was boring, the color palette didn&amp;#039;t work, and if she isn&amp;#039;t happy with her own work then how can the judges like it? Josh C is on the bottom again for lacking imagination and making the judges wonder if they want to see more from him.  Josh C is eliminated. &amp;quot;I would have really liked to have dodged another bullet and come back to try another day,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Whether it was not as innovative or creative I at least put something down the runway that made my model feel good and look good.&amp;quot; Project Runway airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Lifetime &amp;gt; Read our full Project Runway headlines "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
