Eng was eliminated in the sixth episode, the Banana Republic challenge, along with fellow contestant Marla Duran.

During the fifth episode, in which designers had to create a party dress for Nicky Hilton, Daniel Vosovic referred to her as "Dirty Diana" because of the way she danced at the party.

In the finale, Chloe Dao picked Diana to help with the final challenge of designing an additional garment. Chloe was selected as the winner of Project Runway Season 2.
