"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Apparently, Michael is one of the more successful designers in the competition. Do you think that colors their assessment?

Because books.

Yeah, I didn't love Michael's dress, either, but to hear the judges talk, it works. Who knows, man.

I don't understand why they all dislike Michael C. so much, either. He seems sweet enough to me, unless I'm not paying attention.

I don't see him being an asshole, and I do see him being funny and snarky in interviews. I don't get it either.

And the fact that the judges LOVE his dress tonight is such a fuck-you to the rest of them.

This makes me so fucking happy. I really liked his winning look a couple of weeks ago, too. Not complicated, no, but the colors worked and it moved like a dream.

They think he has no skills. For the Hat challenge his first dress was a trainwreck. But he took it apart and made a different one that won. That's why they hate him. Because they think he has no skill yet he's won.

Peach is such a doll! You can always tell when Tim really likes someone, too, and he obviously liked her a lot. Seemed like everyone else did, as well. But that dress was a freaking train wreck.

And thank god for Michael Kors. "Avocado goiter" is another classic.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am beginning to think the judges did that as a fuck you to the other contestants. I agree with above: after the way they treated Michael last week, I'm glad he got a win and that the other contestants will have to suck it.

Man, I'm so thankful I'm not in high school any more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ivy is working my last nerve, too, just in general.

God, yes.

Poor Peach, she always knows when she's made something terrible, but she can't fix it. Michael D. didn't know what a mess he'd made, that always seems worse to me.

I don't know about Michael C.'s dress. It looked pretty good from the front, but even while the judges were saying how much they liked the back it seemed to be pulling really strangely on her body.

Mondo was robbed. That was a great dress. I don't like this dinging for the styling.

Oh, and the open disdain when Michael C. came back into the waiting room, that was just rude.
