Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

PR: Enough with the crying!

I think that Nina had a nerve talking about what they've seen from designers. She hasn't been there for half of the season! I firmly believe that Christopher would not be there if there had been consistent judges. His stuff always had problems, and if there had been the same judges they would have seen the consistent mistakes and aufed him much earlier.

Because books.

I hated that Michael wasn't there for this decision, too. The lawsuit really fucked with this season, bigtime.

It seems so anticlimactic. I feel like I called the final three a month ago, and I'm not wildly in love with any of them.

The judging this season was so uneven. it needs to be better next season.

I assume next season won't have the same scheduling problems, but yes.

I think part of this season was the talent, too. Not just fashion talent, but in terms of good TV. I was bored silly through most of this season.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't know if anyone is still watching Survivor, but tonight's tribal council was pretty classic.

Loved the Tribal Council! The post IC-challenge scrambling was EPIC.

yes, since they're all New York based, it's a big pain in the ass to go to LA 13 times.

They didn't have good people this season. They were boring or annoying, or blah. No one interesting, no one even to hate. I mean, I didn't like Irina because she was a bitch (and uttered the inevitable line "I'm not here to make friends"), but she wasn't entertaining.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What I want to see in PR seasons to come:

A) A Girl Scout challenge. The designers have to create two new looks for each level of Girl Scouting from Daisies to Leaders - a formal uniform and a casual uniform - to be modeled by Real Girl Scouts and the winning uniforms adapted for each level and sold in the GSUSA council shops.

B) The final challenge changed - I want the final 3 to be sent home with their 12 looks from the season, $3000, and told to make the 12 pieces they've already made into a cohesive line.

oooh, this is good! I don't know if it can work, with the wackiness of the challenges in the season. for some people, it would be easy, like Laura. She designed consistently, and maintained an aesthetic throughout the season. Other designers have been all over the place.

Was I the only one who was appalled at all of the designers who thought that Johnny should make it to Bryant Park? he threw some shit on the runway in multiple challenges. Does anyone else think that people were suggesting him because they thought that they could beat him?

Art Crawl!!!

Ooh, that is a good final challenge. It would also give them time to find more appropriate material and fix any craftsmanship concerns.

And I agree -with more consistent judging Christopher would have been out of there weeks ago.
