Justin was my favorite from the beginning. But his overall collection was a bit underwhelming. Only in color though. His detail and construction was amazing. And his had a story from beginning to end.

Dom has always been the wild one. I could have gone either way. Some of her looks during the season bordered on costumey. But her collection was great.

Alexandria should never have been at Fashion Week. She had too many disasters this season. Her collection was good, but then again Heidi put her there and I think that is unfair to the other designers.

I knew Bradon was doomed when that first piece came out. It looked like a Christmas Tree slip. He had some nice pieces but they were so mismatched and all over the place.

I look forward to the drama of the reunion show! :-) Oh and are you all watching All-Stars? It looks like it may be another fun season. And I adore Alyssa Milano. I'm sure she'll be "Charming". *wink* *giggle*

Okay, I'm sure there's an internet full of people who will disagree with me, but I think all the judges were spot-on, and that they ranked the final four designers in the correct order.

Bradon: I was oh so close to nailing this prediction. But, yeah, once you saw everything out on the runway, it didn't all fit together. His most successful pieces had that white print with the little purple flowers and the shiny champagne fabric (which also best fit his inspiration). If he'd focussed on that, he would have been the favourite. So just a little shocked that he didn't turn out a more cohesive collection, since it has seemed that his vision has been so focussed.

Justin: Fantastic and smart pieces individually. Taken as a collection, just slightly underwhelming compared to the top two.

Alexandria: Now we see what Heidi saw all along, and the reason that the internet would pillory me. I think it was a helluva collection. It's like you had to see a fuller body of her work to get her vision. Definitely very marketable. But the reason that she didn't win was that the collection needed more range. That vest with the holes in it, I could definitely see at Macy's, and who knows, we may soon.

Dom: Well, I predicted she'd be in the top three, and technically I'm right. I sometimes thought she was hit-and-miss throughout the season, but I think it took me a while to get her vision. Of the four collections, hers struck the best balance of range, originality, and marketability.

So I'm probably not going to watch the next season. I'm weird about these reality contest shows, in that I get attached to the set of contestants I follow in a season and have trouble envisioning other contestants on the show. But we'll see. I definitely enjoyed watching this season--mostly because I had all of you to share the experience with, so thank you.
