I personally didn't like his collection, but I thought that it showed the most innovation and imagination of the collections. I liked Dimitry's collection, and am okay with him winning, but it was not exciting or new.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
None of the collections were that great. As TLo pointed out, five weeks to do 10 looks isn't that much better than they get during the regular season.
I maybe like Fabio the best as a person, and his collection was certainly interesting! I can't believe they didn't show any discussion of Dimitry's wackadoo hair and makeup.

I don't understand why Christopher was making so many new pieces at the end. I thought his problem last week wasn't that he didn't have spectacular looks it was that he didn't show them.
I liked particular looks from each collection, but I didn't love any of them as a whole. I would have been all right with any of them winning.
I don't think I can take on the All Stars.

OMG, watching the Amazing Race tonight, and I just was thinking how awful and sweaty and hot and covered in plaster and fish and cotton these people must be. And then the previews for next week made it look even worse. Jesus.

They really had to 'work' that leg, didn't they?
I immediately thought that the bus renovation task would be to the Monster Truckers advantage -- if there's anything they know besides driving and motors, smoothing over dents in a chassis would probably be right up there.
I remain charmed by Natalie & Nadiya, even if they may grate on their fellow racers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Me too. I can totally see how the "Go Twinnie!" thing would get annoying if you were standing right there, though.

I know! They are at least - being positive while they're being loud.
Project Runway: reading Tom and Lorenzo's take on the final collections live vs tv was very interesting.
I don't understand why they are giving the designer's so much less time to do their collection. It's asking for mediocrity.
I think Christopher just lost it under pressure.

Yeah, I don't like that at all. The contrast between what they do in a rush during the season and what they do when they have time to think and plan is what has always made the final collection interesting to me. Without that, we get a lot of blah. A lot of those finale collections were showing us, as Nina used to say, just clothes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
they only had 5 weeks to do all of those looks! good grief.
they need to give them at least 8 weeks if not 10.
Lifetime is cutting the budget in areas that make for an inferior show.

I think it might be interesting (although like one of the failed imitators, right?) to have them use some of the stuff they did during the season in the final collection. You have to pick three, say, and develop the rest of a collection around that. At least it would be fewer things to design, if they aren't going to give them a real amount of time to do it.
