    Right, because an article compiled of quotes from random New Yorkers and then printed by a magazine means it's not stealing when you reprint it without their permission. Girl needs a lesson on copyright, plagiarism, and fair use.

    This season was terrible, with mediocre designers, hokey challenges and the sad state of watching new designs that were already dated.

    @curiousgeorgiana: I wouldn't. This has to be the 4757646453 time a "OMG SPOILERS" discussion has happened here. People should know by now jez posts recaps/spoilers. And if I was really trying, after seeing the headline, I would have skipped the blurb.

    @femme-bot: I hear you-- internet is dangerous and you take the risk. But it is less than 24 hours after the finale, and the show is on decently late. Not everyone can stay up/ watch.

    I've been on Jez a long time. With reality and show recaps, they tend to save major stuff for inside the post. The blurb, the picture, and less than 24 hours after the show aired, makes me feel this is one of the few OMG SPOILER type moments.

    @BlondeGoddess: well how long is jez supposed to avoid posting about your favorite shows that you haven't gotten around to watching? days? weeks? when the news is stale? jez is a blog that, like most news organizations, wants its information and posts to be timely. the finale was last night, it makes sense the blog would want to post about it today.

    ack, i clearly fall in the "it's not a spoiler if it already aired" camp.

    @BlondeGoddess: i didn't realize my post sounded anymore testy than yours did. i tried to add some humor into my post that obviously didn't translate.

    the definition of "spoiler" is obviously one of those great divides we'll never truly bridge, like abortion and cake v. pie.

    @PrettyB is like Whoa: I definitely fall in the same camp as you, but I think the specific protest is about the spoiler being before the jump (and in the picture in this case). They could still do the exact same post, just keep the spoiler-y stuff til after the jump.

    I don't think they need to, but that is at least reasonable - unlike "don't post about it til *I* have seen it!!"

    At the very least, if Irina had to win, it was the crappy season NO ONE liked and everyone will attempt to forget asap. Not to mention she had to keep her trap shut about winning it for a year.

    @bluebears: It always felt like the producers don't really know anything about LA. Nothing about this season actually felt like LA to me. There was no sense of the actual place, just that weird version of HollywoodLosAngeles that shows up on every television show. Wasted opportunity, PR, and in exchange there was hardly any Nina or Michael Kors, which messed with the judging tone of the season. Boooo.

    This is the first season of PR where I missed episodes and never bothered to watch them later. I did remember that the finale was on that night but I watched King of the Hill instead. I don't even like that show but it doesn't stab me in the heart like bad PR does.

    I feel like Heidi should have been disqualified from the judges table for wearing that outfit.

    The rest of my opinions (bc everyone cares:

    Carol Hannah: Should have won. Consistently good, but the judges seemed to dismiss her, and never take notice. Her collection was the most well-made and aesthetically-pleasing, and since none of the collections were ground-breaking or interesting, that counts for a lot.

    Irina: I feel like they decided she would win 3 weeks in. Her collection was monotonous, and no one piece stood out. The hats looked really forced with some of the pieces, and I don't know why she needed that extra element of cohesion when each piece looked the same anyway. Also: her urban armor back-story was blah and lacked nuance.

    Althea: I've already forgotten her collectio, except that it was very Lindsay Lohan 2008. Totes high fashion.

    I had a thought last night of how this season could have been redeemed.

    Carol Hannah's blue 13th dress was the best thing on that runway. I really wanted her to win for it, even though Irina's collection on whole was better. I just didn't want Irina to win. I don't know if it was because of her personality or because I hated those hats.

    Did anyone notice the total bitch face Irina had when the judges were praising the other collections? It was like she was thinking "Are you fucking kidding me? Just give me the prize already so that I can take off these damn boots."
