Back at his home, Santino said he'd keep shooting for the stars, but in my mind, I definitely heard it as "Shooting AT the Stars"

Finale tonight! Set those VCR's and Tivo's! Anyone willing to posit who will win? I'm going with Daniel because of his consistency, several wins, and that I think he'll fit in at Banana Republic. Looking forward to finally seeing the designs on the runway.

Chloe. I thought her stuff looked like bad leftovers from Dynasty.

Well, I loved Chloe's final show the best so I was happy with the outcome but obviously all three did a fantastic job! You could tell how hard it was for the judges emotionally and I thought it was great for Daniel that Michael Kors let him know that he has a job if he wants one. What a great place to learn!

Wow. I'm shocked, just utterly shocked. I really can't believe Chloe won. Her collection just didn't seem that strong to me. Nothing about it was awful, but it just didn't feel like the winning collection. I thought Michael Kors offering a job to Daniel V. was pretty cool. What an offer for a 24 year old out of school. As noted, he's a young designer who wants to learn. Oh Santino. I felt bad for him, actually. He tones down his style and gets knocked for it. However, I did agree that the fits of his dresses weren't so hot. That red dress though, was gorgeous. Overall, the finale was ok; personally, I prefer the two hour finale. Did you all notice some of Kara's models in the fashion week scenes? All I could see were her knit hats. LOL!

Count me as shocked also. I just didn't see it coming! I was sure Daniel would win. Seeing the collections on the runway was very different than the stills. I had to agree with the critique of Santino's collection, even if I wanted him to win. Daniel's was classic, and quite commercial. That's why I thought he would win. Chloe??? I'm speechless, lol. I kept hearing the jingle to "David'd Bridal" in my head while I was seeing it. Chloe??? Oh, and I did see Kara's models, lol.

I am stunned too. The whole time Daniel's collection was going down the runway, I kept thinking 'this is exactly the Banana Republic style' but maybe that was the problem, it was too much like their style already. I was also surprised that his 'own' model's dress was too long and she tripped over it on the runway. I also was surprised by Santino's collection and personally glad to see all the rick rack gone, but did feel badly for him when they called him safe. Chloe's wasn't my favorite, but I agree with the judges assessment that her dresses hung just beautifully on each of the models. I also think, in light of Jay McCarroll turning the win down last year, they wanted someone who was really into the business side too. The judges seemed to really agonize over the decision. I do hope Daniel calls Michale Kors and doesn't let his ego/pride prevent him from such a great opportunity.

I really loved Chloe's collection andd I totally agree with their remarks regarding the interesting seam lines in her clothing and the perfect fit that all the girls had. That being said, I thought that the whole point of runway is to show clothes that make me say "Yuck! I would never wear that!" The only article of clothing that Daniel showed that I thought was inspired was the 13th outfit, the cashmere dress. The rest of it looked like things you could find at Target. Maybe his style is just too subtle and commercial for runway. Santino's collection was very disappointing to me. There just was not enough that stayed with you. The red dress was stunning but I did not get how that fit in with the theme for the rest of the collection. It was like "nondescript, nondescript, ohmigodleather, nondescript,ill-fitting bland, nondescript, ohmigodleather, nondescript, nondescript, wowredsatinloveit!" Good luck to all of them!

I will have to go back to my tape and look for that red dress of Santino's, for some reason I don't remember it! I liked his pastel rainbow dresses the best of what I recall. Jay TURNED DOWN!!! the win last year (newbie here to Runway)...I don't get it...he was featured as the winner this year, can anyone explain please?

i'm so glad chloe won! she was my favorite through the whole season. although we may not wear chloe's dresses, they are evening wear after all, she had a cohesive collection. her 13th piece wasn't an afterthought. daniel's collection was different pieces that didn't go together, he needs some experience, and then he's really going to go places. santino's collection, although beautiful, did not fit the models. the judges were right. the green dress and the red dress did not go with the rest of the collection and stood out like a sore thumb. again, YAHOO! CHLOE WON!

he didn't turn down the win, he turned down the apprenticeship with banana republic, because that was not what he or his designs was about.

I would think if he turned the win down that they wouldn't have him featured so much as they have this season...

He turned down the money and the Banana Republic contract.

Okay, so he turned down the Banana Republic contract, I can see that...but why turn down the money??? What did he keep, the car?

The Banana Republic stuff is a mentorship to teach him about suppliers and all that business fashionista stuff, not to design for them. So it didn't matter in the long run whether Daniel was, or Jay wasn't, in the BR style. The money was tied to licensing stuff and Jay decided to go for private licensing for his garments instead....so he gave up the 100K. I am disappointed in the results of this year's finale.

All that pink shiny stuff was very dynasty like (blech). I think I liked Santino's stuff best. I like him when he doesn't rip stuff up.

I admit I haven't seen the whole series as stated above, but I thought Chole deserved the win from what I've seen. She was the most consistent, although I thought Daniel might win too. The only thing I really loved about Santino's collection was that rainbow fabric. I thought it was awesome looking but those were his only designs which really intrigued me and it was the mostly the fabric. His dresses didn't fit right at all. Hopefully, they'll be showing more "reruns" over the weekend again so I can pick up more on the season.

Isn't the contract different this year? The $100,000 this year is provided by Saturn and the Mentorship is sponsored by Banana Republic? If so, I would think that is a much better situation for everyone involved.

Remember Chloe has stated from the word get go that she is in it for the money. Jay is more the free spirit artist.
