A commercial I saw about 10 minutes ago said tonight was the first part of a two-part finale.

Seems like they are intent on making PR more of a "reality show" than in the past. Keeping people around for the drama and so forth. Meanwhile, the talent has taken a nosedive this season. (IMO)

NYheat, I agree about the talent this season. Not very good at all. I usually have a couple I love but this season, I don't care much. I guess I lean towards Leanne or Jerrell, if I had to pick one.

TV Guide ran a survey of readers, and Leanne was the one most folks thought to win (40 something percent), followed by Korto, then Jerrel, then Kenley (at four percent).

Interesting..........I didn't think anyone else liked Leanne. :-) She used to have a store at etsy.com, selling her work (a site for artists and crafts people). Maybe she still does, but I doubt it now that she's got some success under her belt.

If she's still on etsy I'd be surprised!

The final 4 challenge is a wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress. The wedding dress was made during their time away. The bridesmaid dress was a surprise challenge.

Leanne and Kenley's dresses are so freaking beautiful!!! You'll see.

Jerrell and Koto are both on the fence. Jerrell's wedding dress is messy and they didn't like his bridesmaid dress. Koto picked a really odd color for her dresses and it didn't look weddingie.

I think Koto will be out.

Leanne is apparently still on Etsy.

(I'm watching the late showing of PR right now; I just about lost it with Tim's "I don't want a snatch shot" comment about one of Korto's dresses!)

I was hoping Leanne would have got some kind of hairstyle. Her collection wowed me the least (at least at this point--22 mins into the show and before her runway)

So far (before actual runway, I liked Korto's the best.)

Gotta say, I loved Kenley's dresses this week.

Didn't like any of the others very well. Just not happening this season for me.

As usual, the one who does not take advice from Tim leaves.

So there is going to be no group show this year? I will be disappointed. I wonder if the move to life time is affecting how this show is put together.

The first ever all female finale.

Dang. Was hoping to see Kenley pack up. When they complimented Leanne, she was gracious and happy. When they complimented Kenley, she was jumping up and down like she was the winner. Thought it was kind of showboating/hotdogging it and kind of rude to J/K/L...

Oh well, at least Korto and Leanne stayed. And Jerrell's dresses were indeed rather messy. I like him though... But man, all that time on the dresses that were never even shown...

"...all that time on the dresses that were never even shown...": I would feel really badly, except for the fact that he DID get to show at Bryant Park (just not on television). I always think it's so strange when like Sweet Pea previously, the designers bemoan the fact of not getting to show at Bryant Park, when we know that they already did, and that their collections are already visible, at least on line. I still remember Chris March's collection from last year (so distinctive), even though he wasn't one of the "Final Three".

Am I the only one who thought Kenleys gown looked very Swan Lake? I was very surprised the judges didn't say so, perhaps because it looks like something some other designer, forgot who, has in their line? I think it had it's own beauty, but it was very ballet. Korto and Jerrell's were hot messes. Both of Leann's dresses were lovely.

I certainly wouldn't have chosen any of them... well I got married at 19 and was too shy.. a couple of years later I'd have definitely gone for Kenley's (but that was in the late 60's..) I liked Korto's bridesmaid dress.. sure it was very simple, but I liked it. I liked Kenley's bridesmaid dress. I appreciated Leanne's work but wouldn't wear it, though I liked the bridesmaid dress.

I think it sucked that they didn't just cut to three last week, and then, if they had to cut this week, why not look at the collections instead of basing the decision on the hated task of wedding attire.

Right.. the top six showed at Fashion week, a huge plus for ALL six.

Kenley's wedding dress reminded me of the dress that some chick wore to an awards show within the last couple of years. It was made of ostrich feathers. She was also voted the worst-dressed of the evening - so I'm kind of perplexed that Kenley's dress was considered one of the best.

I don't think Kenley was gloating, I thought she was geniunely thrilled and pleased..and a little surprised. Remember, she is a victim and they have been picking on her! LOL
There must be more to the group caue I have never seen Tim choke up like that.

I'm not surprised Jerrel went home. I think most of his designs have looked unfinished, even when they were. I thought most of his stuff looked a hot mess, and would never wear anything he's designed this season tha I've seen so far (haven't seen this ep yet).

It's good thing I don't work at the "cheap retailer" company anymore; rumor had it Kenley was going to stop by, and I'd been loudly bashing her from time to time. Okay, okay, she has some talent, and I love that she painted her own roses on that dress in her collection. My bad.

I think the shape of Kenley's bridal dress is what saved it from being a joke. It's a classic 50s silhouette and was very well crafted.

I like the textures and colors that Korto chooses in her designs. I just think she's not at that higher level of design yet, where she's editing and making smart choices on every piece. I looked at last season's runway collections from the finalists, and they were head and shoulders above what this group is putting out.

Leanne's "wave-flap" thing is so played out. I think those flaps are so ugly. Move on girlfriend!

Lexie, that is exactly what I thought too--that swan dress that Bjork wore and then Ellen did a mock thing with...

do.not.like.kenley

That being said, I loved the clothes I saw last night. Her painting on the fabric was fantastic, very creative. I usually don't like her clothes, because I don't like the style. That astrological nightmare comes to mind. I did take notice of her apology and that did improve how I felt about her (like she really cares, HA!) LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her Bridesmaid's dress. That would be one loved by them because they could actually look good in them during the wedding and out in public after.
