  • All four main instances of this challenge happened on the fourth episode of the season.
  • Both duos that have competed on the show, Red Rabbit Duo and Isabella y Catalina, were eliminated on a Design Challenge.
  • As seen on Tú Las Traes, eliminated contestants are also tasked to design their own looks for the category despite not being part of the competition anymore.[1]
