We're down to 5 and all 5 are represented in the links/posts above. Nothing about who the final 3 might be that I saw.

Not spoilers since apparently all five who are left got to show a collection this year. I'd avoid the second link since the writer speculated a bit but it wasn't announced .. who the top three might be. I assume they "judged" all five too.

Thanks. When coming back here to check for answers, I finally noticed the pix above! LOL I use "check for new messages" so I hardly ever see the tops of posts -- guess that would have answered my question. Shoulda' known our mods are keeping us up-to-date.

Yep ~ I think you're safe going to the link because you get to see all five designers. How nice for all of them that they got to show at Bryant Park. I wonder if that was planned or if the judges just truly couldn't decide, lol!

First I want to say ~ I don't envy the judges. I think all five collections have their own merit. But after going back and reading the review posted above, I agree with everything the reviewer had to say. But then that's probably because I have had the same favorites as them all along.

Ok.. I clicked the http://fabsugar.com/1026970 link and seen this.. Tons of Project Runway alums were mingling in the crowd, including recent cast off Ricky. But honestly, my eyes were on guest judge Victoria Beckham. When she came out, in her orange draped dress and matching orange shoes, the crowd took notice. Rofl Poor guy he was totally bashed for his orange crush bathing suit, elimanated because of it. Then to have the finale judge be "Fashion Diva " Victoria Beckham decked out in all orange..

Here's a link with videos of their collection. I laughed when I saw Christian's collection. I kept thinking about the Sienfeld episode with the pouffy, pirate shirt that he had to wear on the Today show.

I think Ricky was aufed more for the design than the color.

Yeah, they're big problem was that it looked like a bathing suit, and with the gold "hairdresser smock". They didn't care much about it being orange, although "I" happen to hate orange!

Ricky was definitely aufed for the design and not the color. The bathing suit with the smock didn't scream diva wrestler no matter how you looked at it.

Anyone watching? I thought Christian definitely won the challenge, hands down. It's so rarely that there seems to be a definite winner. And Jillian definitely deserved 2nd position. Very interesting decision that Rami and Chris are BOTH still in the running and will have to compete one more time when their collections are done. I hope it's Chris taking 3rd. Looks like next week's show will be the "behind the scenes" dish-type show; so when is finale?

I'm watching. I've liked Christian for awhile now. Jillian earned the second spot, but her designs leave me kind of unenthused. I would have liked it to have been Sweet P against Chris for the 3rd slot. Rami ... draping ... yawn. At least I get excited to see what Chris and Sweet P will do. Heidi looked super hot tonight with her hair all loose and wild like that.

Maybe it's my tv set, I thought Heidi's hair color was off. Very fake feeling. Chris was lucky that the guest judge was really taken by his work. I bet he was the reason for the dead lock between Rami and Chris! True that Chris didn't have to make it so much like the one Christian and him teamed for. But that should still be enough to convince them of his talent. Jillian's piece was great as well. I thought she may be a bit limited. Let's wait and see her whole collection! We know Christian would be one of the finalists. But he really pull another fierce one out! Funny how Chris and him has to entaintent themselves by gossiping about others the whole working period. I don't think he was "monitoring every one" as Jillian thinks though. He's just so interested in this craft, he's observing and probably absorbing and learning at all times. I know of people like that. Others sometimes can only see this fault. But at the end they usually rise up and surprise you how much they could incoporate other's art and put their own shine on ... ... Hope I'm making sense. It's way past my bed time. Perhaps some big shot in the business watching will invest in Sweet P or give her a high pay position. She has something, even if she's not ready for a collection show. Did you catch the audience poll during the commercials? (PP) How do you feel about Rami's drapping? A whopping 72% said "Enough already"! I really hope there's another dead lock so Chris would get to do it as well. Not that I don't have faith in him. But the two regular judjes seemed to not agree with his "taste". I fear that Rami will finally do something other than drapping, -- then how could his collection be cohesive? Hummmm -- that would give Nina and Michaele the excuse to take Rami and "auf" Chris. ...

I am really hoping for Chris, and yes I agree, I think it was the guest judge who was blown away by his work that resulted in the deadlock. Both Rami and Chris actually played it safe in repeating what they had done before. I wish I could think of the guest judge's name, but his compliments to Chris were stupendous.

I didn't think Jillian was over reacting to Christian. Observing others is one thing but constantly making negative comments about them while you're all working in the same workroom, as Christian seemed to do all season, would get on any person's nerves. It just seems like Jillian was the only one who threw it back at him and he didn't take kindly to that. While Christian is extremely talented, all I kept thinking of are the jokes Seinfeld would've done with his final outfit. I haven't been able to look at puffed sleeves since! It'll be interesting to see what's said at the reunion. While the cast seemed to get along, I have a feeling more then a few didn't like Christian's barbed comments. I'm happy for both Rami and Chris. Even if they aren't considered for the final prize, it's a great opportunity to still show their stuff at Bryant Park, as Sweet Pea was obviously able to do as well. Being in the final five is pretty dam good!

Roberto Cavalli, the grandson of Giuseppe Rossi, the illustratious Florentine impressionist painter ... "Cavalli's great strength is making wild, erotic clothes that push sensuality to the limit without becoming lewd." http://www.fashionwindows.com/runway_shows/cavalli/default.asp

Wow, it was Cavalli? I haven't seen the show, but Rami's gowns are similair to Cavelli's--maybe he's tired of his own asthetic. Beyonce is like the Cavalli poster girl--she wears his gowns constantly.

I am hoping for a Jillian win. I love everything that she does. Her clothes seem fresh and sexy and something that I could wear. Chris, not so much plus I don't like how he acts to others. He amuses me sometimes and the guy has a vision so I can see why others would appreciate his style.

It was easy to call the final 3, however I am sorry that Rami did not try something else even though I find his clothing simply beautiful. I did not know what "draping" was until this show, but I knew that I loved the look and I always will. Poor Sweet Pea why didn't she do something with flair instead of staying with something "sweet" ? For gooodness sake a peacock was her inspiration and she din't even have a train on that dress.

I have to say that I would much rather go to a show by Chris than by Rami. Rami just bores me to tears now, and he seems bent on doing his own draping thing than listening to anything the judges have to say. At least with Chris, you get some color and variety of style. Every week, I have looked forward to seeing what Christian, Sweet P, Chris, and Jillian would make, I could already predict what Rami's would be weeks ahead lol. As for actually wearing the garments, I would wear Sweet P's and Jillian's designs. The only women who could wear Christian's clothes would have to have pencils for legs, and I'm afraid that I'm sporting Sharpies.

I loved Christian's and Jillian's and Rami's outfits last night. I loved Rami's dress even though he draped again but hey he's great at that style lol. I hope he does do something different for the showdown though. I also like Chris' designs and he does have more versatility. I felt bad for SweetP with her model not showing up till late. I really like her.

Sweet P always does little dresses like that. It's a little boring to me. It's exciting to see what Christian does next.
