Table Wars

Eight of the nation's top event designers must work in pairs to create an immersive dining experience that combines two opposite themes. Sparks fly as they try to reconcile their big ideas and even bigger personalities in order to avoid elimination.

The competitors look for ways to stand out in their first individual main-event challenge as they create winter wonderland tablescapes. A last-minute curveball jeopardizes the designer's plans, and the party comes to an end for one of the Table Warriors.

The Table Warriors pair up for a "Quickscape" challenge where they must demonstrate finesse, precision and teamwork. Then, the designers create a tablescape inspired by a specific decade, but a surprise twist pits former partners against each other.

A nature-inspired wedding challenge has the remaining Table Warriors reaching deep into their bags of tricks. They aim to wow the judges with lush tablescapes and big risks, but one designer's unexpected interpretation leaves the judges skeptical.

For the semi-finals, the competitors take a trip to the junkyard where they must use scraps to form a transportation-themed tablescape. Then, a surprise addition to the guest list forces all of the Table Warriors to go big or get sent home.

The three finalists create their most-epic tablescape yet: a fantasy-themed design that includes a special effect and unique party favors for 16 guests! Then, the judges decide who is worthy of the title Table Wars Champion and the $50,000 grand prize.
