Thank you Lifetime for giving me two team challenges this season, cuz you know how I love the drama. This week's challenge: Teams + Day look + Evening look + inspired by a NYC neighborhood = whoa.

The teams:

Anthony and Maya : Chinatown

Amy and Jonathan : Upper East Side

Emilio and Seth Aaron : Harlem

Jay and Mila : East Village

The infighting in the workroom was at an all-time high as the only team that actually got along was Jonathan and Amy but they also couldn't seem to get a damn thing done, so they had their own problems. Jay and Mila looked more like a post-breakup couple forced to work in the same office than a design team. Emilio and Seth Aaron seemed okay except for that fact that Emilio can't keep his mouth shut for more than two minutes without being a jackarse, which we have come to expect but it's still super-annoying. The Anthony and Maya pairing seemed like it should have gone well, if you don't own a brain, but let's be honest, he's a Southern belle and she's a New York bitch...no way they were in this for the long haul. I was fairly certain that an all-out gang war was going to start up in between the sewing machines (It didn't happen, booooo).

The good news is, we were lucky enough to have Ben Chmura in the studio this week to chat about his time on the runway, getting auf'ed and this week's episode! Check it out after the jump...

Winner: Emilio and Seth Aaron 

Auf'ed: Amy

Designers remaining: 7

Cry Count: 15

Complete emotional breakdowns: 0

Use of a version of the phrase “I’m not here to make friends”: 1.5
