Quite honestly I don't mind Christopher. I don't think he's as talented as the other designers but some of his ideas aren't bad, just not implemented quite well (if that makes sense).

And seriously what the hell is Irina's deal. To basically claim that Althea "stole" her design, in front of the judges! was just outrageous!!!!!! Is Irina that frickin insecure about herself and her designs that she has to claim that someone stole it. And did you notice Irina's face when Althea won the challenge? OMG her face was like "killer", it basically reeked of the attitude "omg Althea totally stole my design and she won, this is so unfair".

Irina's attitude in the last episode has put her at the bottom of my list. Even though Christopher should be gone, I'd rather see Irina go "the way of the dinosaur" over him. Her attitude SUCKS!!! She's a bitch (and that's a nice way to put it).

Yes, Irina definitely has the Queen Bitch attitude. I like Althea's response to Irina in front of the judges - she didn't get bitchy. Just calmy said the sweater was in her original design. I thought it was a very graceful way not to get sucked into any drama. And, I agree, Christopher is certainly not terrible. It is just ironic that someone who is consistently in the bottom does not get sent home. Seems kind of fishy.

Why should someone need to defend themselves against Meana Irina?

So with it being Althea, Carol Hannah and Irina in the finals, I really, really, really hope that it is Althea or Carol Hannah who wins.

I'm rooting for Althea, but would be very happy for Carol Hannah too.

I know Irina is a meanie, but I really think she is the better designer. I think she will win. All three are good - definitely glad Christopher finally got the axe - but I have consistently liked Irina's stuff throughout the season. (despite her cattiness)

Watching the marathon on Lifetime right now (hooray for productivity :rolleyes:). Finale tonight. Any predictions?

I am hoping for Carol Hannah, and if not her, then Althea.

I would like either Carol Hannah or Althea, but that means Irina will probably win. :p

Carol Hannah really should have won!

I'm not surprised that Irina did, though I thought her collection was mostly hideous.

Yeah, I hated the little hates that Irina did. I honestly thought it should have been Carol Hannah or Althea. I think Althea's was the most wearable.

I agree that Carol Hannah should have won. I thought Irina's was hideous and looked like a collection of bad dominatrix costumes.

I liked all three collections, but I think Carol Hannah not having "a common thread" of a theme is what cost her the win. I liked her collection the best though, and wish she would have won. As soon as they announced she hadn't won I thought "it's got to be Irina" (dang it).

Kappamd summed it up best...Irina's collection looked like "dominatrix wear." Carol Hannah should have won but I realize that someone like Nina Garcia is not going to appreciate the soft designs of Carol Hannah. Poor little Carol Hannah just has too much southern charm in her design aesthetic & it is completely lost on Miss Garcia!

Don't get me wrong...I like Nina & she is definitely brilliant at what she does best (looking snooty ha-ha) but I find her appearance so harsh & off-putting. She always looks like she is smelling a giant pile of horse poo!

I think fans of Althea & Carol Hannah can take great solace in the fact that most fans of the show seemed to be rooting for Irina's downfall even though they recognize her talent. Irina's total lack of grace & respect for her fellow competitors was shocking. I also thinkhas quite a high opinion of herself & thinks she's a bad a__ __. I'm glad she's not worried about karma. I think the other 2 ladies will make more of a name in the fashion industry than Irina will over the long haul so I hope she enjoys her 15 minutes!!!!
