I think that Andy got in because that green dress beat out all 3 of Michael's looks.
I was also underwhelmed by Gretchen's collection. At the moment, I'm not seeing anyone else but Mondo winning.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Because books.
Me either, sumi. But I do think Mondo completely deserves it. I think he has as much talent as Christian did/does.

I think I'm with sumi and Amy...that seemed like a bit of an overreaction to me. He was upset clearly, but some of his reaction didn't hit me as totally real. I was uncomfortable with it all because usually people try to hold it together a bit so that the winners can celebrate their victory.
I have liked Michael generally up to this point, but how long it went on seemed a bit much.
I have to admit though, I would love to sob into Tim Gunn's neck.

Yes, this. But the upside was that it gave Tim the opportunity to lob an F-bomb, which was hysterical and touching at the same time.
I don't understand Gretchen's line at all. Who in the heck is gonna wear her stuff but her? It is butt-ugly!

Oh, I missed that. I'll have to go back and watch it. Har. Tim Gunn saying fuck.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I don't like Michael. I do hope he's okay, though.
I agree Mondo should win. I don't think I've liked a single outfit Gretchen made all season. I like Andy's stuff, and it's impressive that he put it all together so quickly, but he's just not quite as consistent as Mondo.

I really want to see Andy's fabrics. I loved that green dress (although it was too short, did you see the model do a subtle tug down of the skirt as she turned for her final pose? Very well done.)
I also think that one of the reasons why they liked the leather outfit of Gretchen's is that the model worked the SHIT out of it. A good model with a strong walk can make a weak outfit look stronger.

Oh, and my reaction was "Don't get snot on Tim Gunn's lapaels!"

Gretchen's clothes were HIDEOUS! Really really bad.

Gretchen's clothes were awful. And, as a regular Birkenstock wearer, I've gotta say no. I wouldn't put my birkies under that dreadful dress made of sad-colored linen and bizarre bulges.
After the first minute or so of Michael's crying I hit fast-forward. I felt uncomfortably voyeuristic watching it and, if it was put on for attention, that's not something I'm inclined to reward with eye-time if I can help it.
I would never wear anything Mondo or Andy make, but I can definitely see why a lot of it is winning. That polka dot long dress was very striking, as was the green ruffled thingy.
