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.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.
