initial reactions

initial thoughts on the final ep. Korto made two new designs before the show!! ballsy ambitious crazy and a first. and they looked great and fit in soo well. way to take the info and constructive ideas. i really wanted her to win her line was my favorite the colors were great, interesting shapes and well fitted, there was variety but it was cohesive. the only dud i saw was that white garment. not big with ruffles. but over all the best i think. she did get fan favorite and 10 000 dollars and lets face it some good publicity so i am not too bummed. Leanne won she had new and interesting construction the use of green fabrics was a big influence but the line was a little too monotone for me. But Kenley did not win. her face when tim gunn turned out to bethe guest judge was priceless, at least she took soem advice in the end even though she was still suuuuper snooty. haha the judges were not sad to see her go. she was pissed understandably, she had a couple of winners the black tight fitting dress was a fav of mine, but she still had the same bubble silhouette things going on that she did like 5 times in the show with diff fabric, and the attitude totally sunk her. and her sister looks just like her dark curtain of bangs right down to the same scowl. ha.
on the guest judge situation, j lo couldnt show c she hurt her foot?! mmmmk. i think if she were the judge korto would have had it. im thinking she would go toward the multi shape flattering, sexy loud hip colors and dresses korto made over the monotone subdued architecture of leannes design aesthetic, one of the big reasons christian won last year was posh spice beign a guest judge, the second episode i said that he would be a perfect designer for mrs beckham and low and behold she was guest judge and loved him. i think things would have been different yes. but I LOVE LOVE LOVED the fact tim had the chance to be a judge he knows whats up and as he said he was going to be impartial to the back stories of the designers i felt better knowing he was a judge and knew the personalities and where they come from as designers. he knows the craft and the looks. i wonder how last min the decision to throw him in was did j lo stubher toe that morning and called in sick or maybe a few days earlier. either way you could tell that the finale was not as big to anyone so much this yr, viewers and judges, tim did get choked up but that is just tim's teddy bear way., even though it was even to a lesser degree than normal. they got a quick congrats wheres a car where's the fam, much less intense or elating as previous episodes. more to come later on the other top 6 and maybe some pics.
