I split infinitives all the time, lol. I don't mind most of the clothes being made for young, beautiful models. That's the fashion industry. I know I could never carry off the looks the models do. Still think Irina's dress was hideous. I've liked most of her stuff and think she is immensely talented. Really thought she dropped the ball on this one, though. Bleah. Didn't like the top and hated the bottom. Plus those sleeves were distracting. All it would take was her getting too close to a doorknob and snag! the whole thing would come off. Looking at the photographs on the Lifetime site, Gordana's photographs beautifully. It really is a pretty dress. Carol Hannah's is clearly the best of the night. I wish Christopher the best, but sooooo glad he is gone.

The "right" three are on to Bryant Park; they were truly judged on the body of their work on the show.

I fell asleep before the late showing. Glad I recorded it, I'll watch it tonight.

I do not like how in this judging, they seemed to be judged on their whole bodies of work rather than the design at hand. I thought (like top chef) they were to be judged by the garment for the challenge Julie - I didn't like it, either. It seems like they use this when they have a certain person they want that happened to perform badly in the last competition. While I think, overall, Althea was a much better designer, it's hard to believe they could say her dress was hideous, but you get to go on to Bryant Park? They said this last challenge was meant to put everything they had into the design. By judging it the way they did, they pretty much nullified having the last challenge at all. I've noticed that when the judges want to keep someone, they throw them all these passes. Nina's "Althea's dress wasn't good - but at least she took chances". The point of taking chances is that if you risk a lot, you might win, but you also might go home. I do think the three best designers are going on. I just wish they'd define their rules a little more. Gordana's product was so much better, no matter how much Nina wanted to try to play it down by saying it was boring. It actually fulfilled the inspirational part of the challenge better than the others. Speaking of inspiration, I wish Tim would have just let Irina use her fur. Would the judges have given her a pass for it? Her dress was dowdy in the skirt. I never knew that such high heeled shoes could still manage to look so clunky. I loved Tim's line when he saw the fur and said it "looks like a post-apocalyptic moment". Tim is definitely an original. He's kind of the Will Rogers of the fashion industry.

I would have preferred to see Irina go home and Gordana go to Bryant Park. I thought Irinia's dress was hideous, and "dowdy" didn't even begin to describe it. I also thought Nina was incredibly wrong to say she didn't what kind of designer Gordana is (forgetting, for the moment, that Nina hadn't been a judge for half the episodes). I think if you put Gordana's dresses side by side, you might see she has an affinity for pale gray dresses. Her dress last night was truly gorgeous. Sometimes, simple is OK if it's a beautiful dress. Althea's dress was a train wreck and I hated the top because it was so floppy and didn't go with the tailored skirt. I think Irina was lucky that she'd never been in the bottom and had won so many challenges. Because she should've been auf'd last night. Carol Hannah's dress really was pretty although I agreed that I didn't seen her inspiration. And Christopher. WTH? Did he think that sobbing out his story and his point of view (that he sees beauty where no one else does) would keep him there? I found it interesting that he totally sobs on the runway and then barely manages to push out a tear after he's auf'd. Good freaking riddance. (Especially because that skirt was downright ugly. Jean skirt... LMAO!) At any rate, it'll be fun to see an all female designer show at Bryant Park!

I agree, Irina should have gone home last night, that was a terrible dress. I hate that they change how they judge from week to week, that has been a true downfall of the show. But won't the final two get to make a collection as well because they are decoys to who the final three are? I thought they did that last time, but maybe I made that up, LOL.

No decoys this time. The final three (Althea, Irina, and Carol Hannah) are all going to Bryant Park. The two who got auf'd (Christopher and Gordana) are just going home. I think last time they had the final four make collections, and then eliminated someone before they could show them...?

In the past, more than the final three showed at Bryant Park, but only the final three aired on TV. This year only three showed, but they were anonymous. The designers did not come out before they're collections as they did in the past. There are links to the final three collections here.

Interesting link. And especially interesting that she described Irena's collection as "definitely [a] few levels above anything else we've seen on Project Runway, possibly ever." That's been my sense of her throughout the competition.

ITA with last nights end result - but hated how they got there - if the comp had been earlier Gordana probably would've won this challenge!! and why ask which 2 designers would you take with you? WHY? Of course who wouldnt take Christopher? Talk about winning over someone -

Gordana's dress for the final challenge was my favorite but I knew she wasn't going to make to Bryant Park.

Oh and how nice that they went to the Getty on last night's show. I often go there when I'm trying to write cuz UCLA grad students get in free, have free parking, free wireless, discounted food, and lots of other crap. So I was amazed to see how nice some of the displays are! I go there and never even walk around the exhibits!

What a wonderful set of freebies that is! Discount at the gift shop, too, I hope.. I went with a group on a rainy day and loved that they had lots of umbrellas at each door so you could just grab a nice big umbrella to walk to another building (or look out at the view) and then leave the umbrella outside the next building.

The episode with the final collections has not yet aired. I chose not to click on the link because I don't want to be spoiled. Perhaps people could keep that in mind before talking about what they see or read if they do choose to click the link. I understand it's no holds barred after the airing of the episode, but, as I said, it hasn't aired yet. I'm pretty sure the rules ask that that you refrain from future spoilers in show discussion areas. If I'm wrong about that, maybe a mod could let me know. Thanks.

My post meant to say that I agreed with the previous posters about their thoughts of the judges and final results.... I appreciate the links to the final collections - and posters did clearly say the collections - I havent clicked (yet!) but I appreciate the links were provided - its what I love about TVCH!! and this Project Runway has been "spoiled" with the fight with the lawyers about Heidi moving from Bravo to Lifetime - when that collection ran at that time - it was "spoiled" I think it was Bravo that didnt want Lifetimes PR to succeed... its so old that I have no real recollection - revisionist recollection perhaps (unintentional!) but not on air...

But we haven't spoiled the winner of this season, correct? And I'm guessing that seeing the three collections is like every other season (except more time has passed) and we can decide who we like best but won't know who was judged best until next week? Right?

If you don't want to be spoiled, don't look at the collections because the written information clearly states who has the best collection and that their collection is way above the others. I do feel like there was no need for last night's challenge because it seemed they wanted the three they got for Bryant Park so even though Irina's dress was so so and Gordan's was obviously one of the top dresses in the challenge, it just did nto matter. I don't know what more Gordana could have done. Also, they did not like Althea's yet she moved on. I don't know how the outcome could have been any different which was a bit disappointing and I am sure very disappointing for the designers that were eliminated.

I was really hoping Christopher would still get to go to Bryant park as a decoy. I actually liked some of his designs. I wish him the best. Good luck to Gordana also, I really liked her dress. I want Carol or Althea to win so Irina must win

Gordana's collection was gorgeous!!! Tish, out of the first three "collections," number 3 was awesome. There were also some nice pieces in number 2, but I would have to say that number 3 was the most cohesive.

Um, now I have a strong idea of who wins and I really didn't want to know before the show.

No, Seamonkey, the actual winner has not been spoiled yet, but information was given from the link that strongly suggested a certain individual's collection was so much better than everyone else's, which would suggest she won, and I just didn't want to know that. That's like bringing over information suggesting a Survivor winner into the General Discussion thread. There are people who avoid spoilers and do not want to know any hints at all until the show airs.
