After barely avoiding elimination on the first two challenges of "Project Runway: Season 6" on Lifetime, Mitchell Hall was eliminated on Episode 3. The former Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) student exited the show in a less than stellar fashion. Mitchell made "Project Runway" history when he was sent packing even while being a member of the team with the winning design.
The challenge the designers were given was to design a surf-inspired look along with an accompanying avant-garde piece. Mitchell, the unlikely team leader, chose Ra'Mon-Lawrence Coleman to be his partner which elicited a hesitant response from Ra'Mon. This is not surprising knowing Mitchell's penchant for landing in the bottom two. Mitchell chose Ra'Mon in the hopes that Ra'Mon could carry him through the challenge, and carry he did. In fact, Ra'Mon did the bulk of the work, a fact that was discovered by the judges on the runway. The judges felt they could not continue to judge someone who doesn't "create, design and sew". In the end, Heidi Klum summed it all up by saying "Mitchell, three strikes and you're out."

ha ha ha - Mitchell thinks he's a big fish and I guess in slimy little Savannah pond (more like a swamp) he is. He got what he deserves - arrogance is no substitute for actual talent.
Wow! What an embarrasment for SCAD! He was aweful and I had no idea that he was a SCAD Alumni. I really thought that SCAD prepared people for fashion design a whole lot better than that! Mitchell even admitted to not knowing how to sew! I am also embarrased that he represented Savannah, GA!
babyblue, you are so right. Arrogance will never be a substitute for talent. He actually thought he could be carried throughout the whole competition.
