Inspired by the Bachelor & ANTM games made by @illusionsoflove! I thought it would be fun to create a similar game with Project Runway, one of my favorite reality competition shows. If people enjoy this one I’d make more seasons afterwards.

Put each of the designer’s names into this random picker: https://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/random/pickone.html. Once a name is picked, that means they are eliminated. Pick all of the names to determine the elimination order; the Final 3 get to compete in the finale runway.

Another idea if you want to go more in depth with the eliminations, you can randomize who won the challenge each week, who was placed high, who was placed low, as well as who was eliminated. Either way, I hope you all enjoyed this!
