I have no idea what Roma is so I can't comment on that. But I felt soooooo bad for Michael C. at how hard he took the loss. His parents seem to still have a lot of control over his life, he's almost obsessed with pleasing them. I wasn't surprised that he didn't make it, I thought it would either be him or Gretchen that was out. I LOVED Andy's green dress with the pleats, thought it was gorgeous. Definitely agree that Gretchen's choices were on the soggy granola side. The reunion show looks totally dramatic. I wonder why everyone (including Tim!) is crying? Can't wait for that! |

Do you remember the show the Riches on Fx? They were Roma having lived like nomads until they took over the house. I wanted it to be the three guys at the end with Gretchen out as her stuff was boring. |

Roma are also referred to sometimes as gypsies, or travellers. There are more than one ethnic group of travelers and Roma are one. |

So Michael C.'s family are gypsies? I read somewhere that they arranged his first marriage when he was very young and that he has two kids, a boy who lives with him and a girl who lives with the mother. The way he was carrying on after he lost, he acted like they were going to make him marry another woman. It's so difficult to relate to such an unusual culture but I hope he's able to break away and be free. His stuff is good so if he is diligent, he will be successful in his own right. I feel bad for him but hey, someone has to lose, it's the nature of the beast in the competitive reality world. |

To say that I am disappointed in the final outcome would be a huge understatement. And extremely perplexed. I did not think that Mondo's collection was costumey. I did think that Gretchen's was boring (I mean, I remember a lot of it from the 70's and it wasn't that great then) and part of it was in extremely bad taste (those bloomers). And since when are designers supposed to be following trends rather than setting them. I think in the end, the judges don't really like color. But they do love a bitch. |

Tgir--Word, word, word, word, and WORD on every single statement!!! :wtf: I am HUGELY disappointed.....perplexed.......be-frickin'-wildered at the choice of Gretchen as the winner. There were some nice pieces in her collection.....I can see most of them at Macy's....but it had no WOW factor. When Mondo's models came out, I was like....."you can just end the competition here, he's got it on the bag." I mean.....his designs were fun and edgy and beautiful. There was NO FRICKIN COMPARISON!!! I just don't get it. It was Heidi and Jessica Simpson against the two old farts (I suppose) Nina and Michael Kors. It's Heidi's flipping show! Isn't she the boss?? HER choice should have won and she was for Mondo all the way. I seriously am baffled. Every other season they seem to pick the very opposite.....they go for the wilder, out there, edgier designer over the more traditional one. How dare they change it now!!! ARGH. My only consolation is that I think Mondo is such a personality and his designs are so unique, that even though he didn't win the cash, I predict he will be more successful than Gretchen in the long run. I think he'll have stars falling all over themselves for his designs. Very disappointed right along with you, I must say. :( |

I think part of it is due to what happened last season with Seth Aaron and Emilio, they went for the opposite as ready to wear beat more avant garde this time. A couple of things Gretchen made for the final runway I actually liked which surprised me. And I agreed with Heidi about how it was ridiculous that what they (meaning the judges) praised Mondo about is what did him in at the end. Come on guys.... I wasn't as wowed with Mondo's as I thought I would be, but I think part of it was his issue with losing models. Andy's was just okay. I wanted Mondo to win, but since Gretchen listened to the judges and changed something after the round of four, perhaps it was a pride thing on their part. Mondo won't listen to us, he can't win. ARGH! I was disappointed with the "reunion" that sucked. Too short, and at the time it was taped more than half the designers were still in, so it was annoying. |

That was awesome........wow! Thanks for sharing, BL. Interesting that Nina and Michael Kors refused to give an interview to that reporter from EW.com. They KNOW that they suck! :violent: |

OK, I didn't get the gesture at the end? Also don't get: if it was Nina/Michael vs Heidi/Jessica, why did Gretchen win? |

I didn't get the gesture at the end either. I even rewound and watched a second time. And I've been saying the same thing. It's Heidi's show. It was two against two. Heidi should have the last word. My respect for Nina and Michael Kors has diminished considerably. Dummies! :plzdie: |

Tim wasn't an official finale judge this season. :( He could caucus (Trademark Tim Gunn) with them, but no vote. Am I the only one who is going to be watching The Fashion Show on Bravo this season Iman is going to be on it and from the ads during Top Chef she may be really entertaining. |

I won't be watching. I watched the first season with Isaac and Kelly Rowland and was unimpressed with the show itself as well as the designers. It came off as a poor man's Project Runway to me. |

It was the poor man's Project Runway, I don't disagree. :) Anyway the reason I am posting in this thread tonight is this crazy news about Tim Gunn. It was announced today that Tim Gunn from the reality show Project Runway will be hosting the quiz show for a week of episodes. Tim’s five shows will tape next Friday, November 12th. You still have the chance to be in the audience for this special taping. |

Sorry somehow my cut and paste didn't get the full article. He is filling in for Meredith Viera and doing Who Wants to be a Millionaire in NYC. |

Well, Cheryl, YOUR Andy was saying how great The Fashion Show is with Iman. I don't think I'll record the first airing but I might take a look at the second airing after I get home from work. Just to see. I saw in EW that Gretchen won PR and was curious to see what you all were saying. I had only watched that one episode of this season. I've always been a fan of Iman. If she has more OTT moments than what they're previewing, it could be a fun show, though I can't stand that loud-mouthed Isaac Mizerabl-ahi. |

Hahahaha! You guys are gonna think I'm fickle but I was watching that Watch What Happens Live show with MY Andy and saw the preview with Iman dressing down that contestant.....she was a hoot! And now I am IN!!! I already programmed it into my dvr. LOLOL!!! Laugh at me, go ahead! :P P.S. As if Andy Cohen would say anything WASN'T great on Bravo. He is like....the King of Bravo! But it doesn't matter......the one little clip of Iman sold me. |

Two little notes... Saw Heidi last weekend on Fashion Police she was wearing the spotted Mondo dress from the final runway show. It looked like Michael Costello was at the AMAs last night. |

Thanks for posting that, BL. She looks stunning in the dress. Didn't it originally have long sleeves or am I mistaken? |
