Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

This was the blackest runway ever! WTF is up with that?

The judges going from "Gretchen, this doesn't look like you, what happened?" to complaining that April didn't surprise them seems kind of odd. Not that they are wrong, exactly, but it's peculiar.

Christian's coming off well as a judge.

Because books.

I thought Christian was a great judge.

And as much as I love April, seeing Christian made me remember that he wasn't that much older than she was during his season. And when you think of what he produced then, and has produced since, her youth doesn't seem like such a good excuse for being stuck anymore.

He had also done a lot working under other people, which she hasn't. But it's not just a matter of youth, you're right.

rude! :-)

So, I think they should have kept April. Especially after seeing their final runway shows. Damn if Gretchen's isn't ass.

As long as Andy and Mondo are in, I don't care about the rest.

I only cared about Mondo. I knew that they were going to pick Gretchen, because they needed a villain for the finale, and Michael Costello is villain lite. And, April only made black dresses (and those diaper shorts were a WAR CRIME). I was meh on Andy. I liked his stuff, but wouldn't have been upset if he hadn't made it.

I really like some of Andy's clothes and I want to see what he puts together as a collection.

Is it kosher to talk about the decoy collections in here? The ones that presumably won't be televised.

Because books.

Andy's really hit or miss for me. I like *him* but I'm not wild about what he does most of the time.

Mondo is really the only one who has a lot of potential as a designer, for me.

I adore Mondo's aesthetic. His clothes are the ones I most covet for myself (the version of myself that can afford to own and fits into designer clothes).
