I'm mad she won, quite frankly. She should have been eliminated in last week's episode.

Yes, she should have. And I loved when Heidi admitted it and said that the judges were really worried after seeing her looks.

I liked her final collection, though. Heidi called her out again about how her collection didn't require the sewing skills.

Does it seem like there are more producer shenanigans on Lifetme than when it was on Bravo? (It seems that way to me.)

It seems that way to me, too. It's a different production company as well as a different network, right? Maybe they are just less subtle about it.

Oh, HELL yeah. I will probably watch the first ep next season, and if it doesn't grab me, I'm out.

Yes, it's no longer with the Magical Elves.

Oh my comment wasn't intended to be harsh, but I'm mad they got rid of Leon. I liked him a lot.

Oh, agreed. Especially when there was so much other crap.

Really, after the promising first episode, I'm quite disappointed in Work of Art. I hope it picks up.

The new production team is Bunim/Murray, also producers of The Real World, and it shows. PR is so much about the drama and the story arc and casting for specific "types". Sigh. They always had drama because fashion peeps are dramatic, no? But the show didn't use to be primarily about the drama.

I didn't hate Anya's collection, but I thought Uli did it first and did it better and she didn't get the win. Then again, she wasn't Miss Trinidad. I enjoyed both Viktor and Kim's collections more than Anya's. (Hated Josh's collection - the neoprene green shorts were ghastly) But you could see her win coming a mile away, so I couldn't get all het up about it. I'm planning to watch All Stars because I really like some of the designers they are bringing back, but after that, I'm probably out.

FWIW, Here is Uli's collection from 2006:

Wow, I had forgotten how much more interest there was in Uli's collection -- shorts and short skirts and separates, not just the caftans, as Kors calls them.

That last dress really was a show-stopper, too.

That explains a lot.

Yeah, me too. And not bothering to check out Project Accessory.

Thanks for the link, le nubian. Anya was reminding me of Ulli all season but looking at their collections, Ulli's was way more impresssive.

Huh. Still don't see what everyone saw in Uli's collection. Then again, I didn't like Anya's final collection either. I prefer clothes with shapes.

Did everyone this season have a dress in their collection that was basically "High collar, big flowly shapeless thing"? Pretty sure everyone except Victor hit that note. I really do not get fashion, apparently.

Ultimately I thought Josh had the best work out there. Not everything was beautiful, but all of it was interesting. Victor blew it by trying to play the game too hard - he took out some of his best pieces and replaced them with that weird see-through shit.

I don't think Victor had a fucking prayer of winning. He could have turned out Jay's Season 1 collection in total and still would not have won.
