I literally started tearing up. You are glowing and I could tell how beautiful you felt,&quot; host Brooke Lynn Hytes said. &quot;You look rich. I can&#x27;t tell what this started as, it looks custom,&quot; Traci Melchor said. &quot;I said if you were going to do simple silhouette that it needed to be spot on, and it&#x27;s flawless,&quot; Brad Goreski added. Guest judge Christian Allaire noted how Kiki&#x27;s look can match big fashion icons like Thierry Mugler and Maison Schiaparelli.&quot;I totally forgot we were in a design challenge, when you walked out in this. The fact that you can create something and create a gown that like rivals Mugler, Schiaparelli, it&#x27;s the total package for me and I&#x27;m just totally in awe,&quot; Allaire said. Kiki won the challenge and saved fellow Filipino queen Melinda Verga from elimination.&quot;This queen that I want to save, I still want to see this queen fight. And, I want her to believe to herself. And I want to tell you that you&#x27;re not a punching bag,&quot; Kiki said.
