During the eliminations and announcement of the winner, all I could say the whole time was, "I don't care. YOU ALL LOSE." I could not believe how the judges were praising that shit. The only one with good designs was Carol Hannah, and even those did not measure up to previous seasons. The judges are a bunch of effing liars. Maybe if they bother to attend all judging sessions they wouldn't have to lie through their teeth.
Yeah, you could say I'm a little upset about this season.
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.
Irina's clothes looked so much better in the video as opposed to the photos. Without movement its so hard to see the detail work in all black or beige pieces. And so many of her pieces had a lot of detailing on the back, while the photos focused on the front.
Lesson: listen to Nina. When she says all black is risky, she knows what she's talking about.
It was obvious that she was going to win for cohesion of her collection. The other ladies' looks were all over the place.
Please let next season have more interesting challenges and more talented and compelling contestants.
Confession: Even though I watched the entire season, I still can't tell Carol Hannah and Althea apart. My focus last night was on trying to finally find a way to tell them apart, to no avail.
@mllej: I didn't watch any of the finale. I am probably going to watch the first few episodes of the next season, but if it continues in this vein then I'm giving up on the show. I'll find something else to watch Thursday nights, like House reruns or something.
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Same here. I was going to hop over to Gawker's liveblog to at least see who won last night but instead asked someone to PM me on Facebook. Used to be the PRun finale was not to be missed.
guhhhh pretty disappointing season. Not like previous ones where nearly EVERY item floating down the runway made me faint with delight. *sigh* I miss those days...
Yes, I agree Irina was the rightful winner. Her collection was impressively crafted and certainly the most cohesive, but I didn't want her to win since she's been so nasty to everyone....
However, it was kind of worth it just to see her dad get all choked up... And then Nina get all choked up...
And then for reasons beyond comprehension: *I* got all choked up. :P
@pearlsdream: I forgot to mention this down thread but I cried too! I feel you. I have no IDEA why I have any feelings about this person, but seeing a grown man cry does it to me every time. Especially a father crying because he's proud. And most especially one seemingly as hard and unemotional as Irina's. He's probably been wanting to tell her how proud he was for years, and just couldn't find it in himself to say it. Hence all the tears. And now I'm tearing up again. GAH!
See, I didn't think Tim Gunn was nervous or "frantic,"I thought he merely seemed exasperated and frustrated with their incompetence and was ready to choke the designers. They tried to spin it as "Tim is losing it" because he said so himself, but it was more like "Tim is ready to kill silly people because he's tired of suffering fools."
I agree with your friend, Dodai, I also thought it was terrible television and kinda like the crap I could watch in VH1 instead, which is sad because PR always seemed to be above all the other reality shows out there. While I was watching, I was amazed that I could still remember Kara Saun's collection when I can barely remember what happened this season.
Althea's first look in that show was unacceptable to me. The leather pants that were flaired at the bottom were beyond hideous with the proportion of that grey sweater that went over the hands. It wasn't until I saw Dodai's picture of Trinity that I realized why it looked so ludicrous. Matrix, FTLose.

I've said it before but: Irina. Please see Jillian Season 4 for the correct way to do armor inspiration w/ hats.

You know things are bad when you miss Blair and his bag of -liscious.
That finale was absolutely dreadful.
