Oh, and about the reunion show - Vincent is a piece of bad workmanship and a whiner and I STILL hate Angela AND her Mom. Manipulative b!tches - both of them.

Prudence · 10-11-2006, 10:26 PM

Vincent is completely insane. And not in a "fun at parties" way.

I haven't watched the show yet this week, but I so don't want tat boy to win. He's such an smug, arrogant ass that I just dislike him and don't want him to get any more fame than he's already had.

I think Uli and Laura are both one-note, in very different ways. But I like Laura better.

Michael's my favorite. I'm afraid he's in over his head, but he just seems like a nice guy who doesn't need to destroy others to get ahead. He's so hit and miss though, it's hard to say.

But throughout the season tat boy has been more couture, so he'll probably win. I'm not a fan of couture, but I know that's the game.

Awww, I 've come to like Tat-boy, though he annoyed me at first. I like Michael too, but at least in the editing something's gone wrong with his designs in this last round.

Alex · 10-11-2006, 11:00 PM

I haven't liked much of what Jeffrey has done on the show but then I'm not much interested in couture but in a more practical approach to clothing.

But I think the show's history tilts strongly in his direction since the first two winners were of similar style and annoying attitude and neither has shown any actual ability to get a line off the ground since their time in the spotlight.

That's one thing the show overlooks in picking "America's Next Designer." Top designers, for the most part, are not only artists but actually also good business people (or have a framework of good business people they can rely on).

Of the four remaining people the one I see with any intersection of art and an ability to actually build on that is Laura.

I was really surprised at how much I really did not care for Michael's designs, at least of what was shown hanging on the racks. The one gown he did looked very much like the purple gown he did for the final runway challenge, except now it is a patterned fabric. He was so spot on for so much of the competition, I wonder, what happened?

Tat boy has grown on me a bit. He's endearing with his kid and clearly a very proud papa. What I could see of his stuff looked interesting and much more stylish than previous.

Laura's were stylish in the typical Laura way. I'm glad she offed that hideous olive green number, as she would have said, that was some serious ugly. I think she is a one note, at least in her vision, it works for her and I am sure it would work very well for the clientele she'd attract. Loved the red number with the spangles inside.

Uli I cannot imagine winning. No matter which way you slice it, she is a one-note stylist. Works for her, but I can't see her winning the whole shebang.

Going in to this I thought Michael was going to be a shoe in, he seemed the most consistent in many of the challenges. Now it's a toss up.

I do know that when Fashion Week was going on

Spoiler:

I had to laugh, every time Tim got in the Saturn, the product placement and the extreme close up of the logo on the front of the car to make sure the sponsor was happy. Of course, that has been true of each season, but it has seemed much more blatant this time around.

Absolutely. Vincent is a total whack job in a very scary manner. He's married....pity his wife, she has to live with the man..

Angela, well I don't know what to say about her. I can't stand her clothes and I can't stand her. I'm with Lisa on this one, a manipulative bitch.

So, anyone know the sotry of Laura? She OBVIOUSLY has money - that loft is INCREDIBLE. I know she is an architect but her husband must have money as well.

No idea, but when I saw the Vuitton luggage (real not knock off) I knew she had major bucks!

I liked the loft, but with the 5 kids, dayum, get some carpet to kill the noise!

I'm torn between Michael & Jeffrey. I hate Jeffrey's snideness and arrogance but then his stuff is really new & fresh. At the same time I can't help but liking Michael but I do feel he's a little over his head. That last purple dress that Michael made didn't have anything to do with his real style. So I think he has to learn to think more "out of the box" like Jeffrey.

Can't wait for the finale!
