I agree the final runway was so hard to see the outfits. Everyone seemed to love Brittney's dress from afar and thru those opera glasses. But after they got a closer look, it was downhill for her. I didn't care for those butterfly add-ons either. However, I thought everyone's Avante Garde look was pretty well done. I'm sure the decision was tough. I feel that Marquis and Brittney were not chosen b/c it was a close call and both Marquis and Brittney had been cut once and saved so that might have influenced the final decision. Marquis' men's fashions are strong and Britney also had some fabulous looks through out the season so congrats to them both.
I don't think Nancy or Sergio will ultimately win. But I am super happy Nancy is finding such success in her 2nd career. Sergio is annoying and needs to let go of his political angle to his creations. I really think it will come down to Geoffrey or Victoria. I would be happy for Geoffrey to win it all. Victoria's designs were very similar throughout the season but her Avant Gardt dress was stunning. I loved it. It was my fave.
So my choices are 1) GEOFFREY 2) Victoria 3) Nancy 4) Sergio

I think it will be between Geoffrey and Victoria. My favorites are Geoffrey and Nancy. I'm not looking forward to a contrived political explanation of Sergio's designs. If anyone might be heading to the Palm Springs area later this month, Brandon and Mah-Jing are part of the Michael Costello runway show at El Paseo Fashion Week.

I agreed with the Final Four. I'm team Geoffrey all the way, but I'd be happy to see Nancy win as well. Sergio is talented, but his arrogance pisses me off. Me too.

My picks are:
1. Nancy 2. Geoffrey 3. Victoria 4. Sergio
I really think Nancy has been so overlooked this season. She had some really spectacular designs early on and was always in the middle, when I thought she should of been in the top. I was shocked she is 64 and didn't start designing until she was older. I had to go and look it up...the oldest PR contest to win was Seth Aaron at 38. So I think it would be pretty amazing if she won! If not, it's really amazing she made it this far and I'm really excited to see her collection and point of view with no restrictions.
I really do like Geoffrey and his tie-dye was to die for and his last look in latex was amazing! That boy just needs a big shot of confidence and he will do amazing things! Again, I'm excited to see his collection with no restrictions. I'm hoping he does something with latex again since we've never seen that before.
Victoria and Sergio, those two are so full of themselves that they are very hard to like and I don't think any of their designs are all that.
I really wished they had kept Marquise over Sergio.
I was so glad to see Brittany go home. I didn't really like many of her designs and she has almost as big of an ego as Sergio. I hated her constant bashing of Nancy and Victoria. Then when Christian or other designers would give her a compliment or say something looked great, she would always say "I know". Never Thank you or that's nice to say...just "I know". Totally rubbed me the wrong way.
Really looking forward to the final runway!

I wish Marquise had stayed and Victoria was out, but as long as she doesn't win.....! I thing Geoffrey has a good chance if he doesn't choke. But, I'm really pulling hard for Nancy. Sergio kind of grew on me - he was always nice and respectful to Nancy (got sick of the mean kids bashing her - remember the episode where she overheard it??) Anyway - I think it will be a great show - I've really liked this season - hope the next season is in the works quickly!

I would love to see a men’s wear line from Marquise. I think he has talent. Lots of talent for a self taught designer. I like Geoffrey. I think he is very nervous and may over design. While I love him I REALLY want Nancy to win!!! I think she brings it and a passion that is so nice to watch!!

Sergio!! !! oh my. He's growing leather. Just looking at it, you could smell it. I think just because of his whole political thing, and then the leather..I think he's not going do to well. plus the ones they showed were not good looking. Who knows...maybe he can rally it.??

Now that we’ve seen some of his outfits, he didn’t show any leather. I suppose it’s to come. I liked Victoria’s 3 looks the best! Then Nancy, Sergio, Geoffrey.

I thought Victoria's collection was boring. I liked Nancy's and if she tones it down for the finale that would be good. I thought Sergio's was dated and costumey but could easily be improved. Geoffrey's was pretty cool but I am not sure if its too out there. I rally hope based on the mini fashion show that all 4 make it to the finale.

It's Sergio's grandiosity that makes me want him to come in 4th, but his work is stunning.

I really loved the final dress Sergio presented on the runway last night. It moved beautifully and the details were exquisite. I swear I could smell that leather through the TV I was glad that Elaine called him out on making causes fit his theme and like the suggestion that he pick one and stick to it. And I swear I could smell that leather through the TV Overall, I can't stand his attitude. I expect confidence and arrogance in shows like this but he comes across as condescending which is not fun to watch. I love Nancy's enthusiasm and how she's working so hard at editing. It was kind of funny the guest judge told Victoria to keep the hats as a signature item in all of her collections and it was her mother who made them. ha! Branding, seriously? Poor Geoffrey, he's having a rough go of it. I hope the critiques helps him fine tune his collection. That big coat with the micro pleated skirt...eesh! I hope they all move on to the finale...I'd like to see everyone's collection.

Well I sat down all excited for the big finale! As time went on I realized it was running out of time and we were only going to see who moved on. How I totally forgot about they do 2 parts to the finale, I have no idea! So then I was happy to at least know who was moving on....just to not find out. Honestly, I didn't think anyone stood out. They all had issues, but also potential, so I'm hoping they just move them all on. I have no idea how they would pick who not to go because no one was good, but no one was totally horrible either. Geoffrey - what a hot mess that boy is! He left less than 2 months to work, when they had 5. I know he had issues, but get help. It almost seems like he just went home and had a good time for 3 months. Those jackets were kind of cool and the one Christian tried on was so funny on his tiny self! Nancy - I like her idea of no waste, but it looked like garbage bags to me. So I'm hoping the judges talking to her about editing will help. Her life sized cardboard Christian was hilarious! I just love her attitude and outlook on life. Victoria - I can't believe Christian didn't call her out on all that name brand. OMG SO MUCH! Does she think she's Michael Kors already??? I don't recall any designer having anything branded like that for the final runway before. And what the judges saw for the branding was mild compared to other outfits she didn't show them. I think she will have to redo almost her whole collection if she removes the branding like the judges told her. Sergio - He has a few really beautiful pieces in there but he's just trying way too hard. I wish he could gift some of his confidence to Geoffrey. When he went home after normal season, people must of told him what a jerk he came across as because he seemed much tamer last night. I really hope he gets the hint this time about his political statements. I do like his color transitioning idea and think it could be beautiful on the runway. I just feel his huge ego makes his clothes ugly.

No one stood out so I think all 4 should be in.
I hate Victoria’s color palette. It’s so boring. I guess I won’t be sad if she goes. I get she wants to include the embroidery from her country but it needs to be on something light & airy. Not jackets like that.
Sergio’s leather didn’t appear to make it to fruition. I loved Christian’s description of Victorian saloon girl. Always a costume to him. I did like his black metallic gown.
Jeffrey didn’t appear to use any vinyl. He needs help for his anxiety. Maybe after the show he can get it. His coats were just too much.
I like Nancy’s ideas and her attitude. Hopefully she can edit her stuff. Even though her wine bag didn’t really go, I love it.

It didn't prevent him from doing anything. And then he worked on a project. I honestly don't think he really took it all seriously. Or he has some sort of organization problems. I think I picked him to win, but now, not so much. There has been a few in the past that tried to brand, or a certain look. She's all about the money.

I feel it's his anxiety and lack of confidence that probably kept him from starting. It looked like it was his left leg he injured, but you can use your right foot for the sewing machine pedal. I also understand having to work to keep a roof over your head (I doubt many can take all that time off), but then you design and work in your off time for such a huge competition! So I felt he was just full of excuses for why he started so late, which was really disappointing. I feel he gets in his own way and that can easily happen when you have anxiety. Just look at the big freak out he had over those dumb face stickers!

Me, too! I was completely underwhelmed with Victoria's collection, thought the colors and branding was awful, hated the embroidery on stiff, structured and asymmetrical pieces and the crocheted baseball caps. Geoffrey's pieces have some potential. I really hope he gets it together for next week. Sergio underwhelmed me. I just didn't feel the love for any of his pieces. I Nancy, loved her fluid dress and disagreed with the judges about the cowl neck. I think all four will make it through.

See, I thought her collection was very commercial, ready to wear. yes it was beige, but better then just black like others in the past. I Nancy, loved her fluid dress and disagreed with the judges about the cowl neck. I loved that dress with and without the cowl! She should show it with it, and then the model takes it off.

I really didn't think there was a standout designer. All four had issues, there wasn't any I particularly loved which was disappointing.
Geoffrey - He had originality and for a late start I thought he had some unique ideas. However, I agree most of his collection were way oversized and some of his dresses looked almost like caftans. When Christian visited him, it really didn't seem as if he wanted to win. He was making excuses: his leg, his other job he acquired, his breakup. yes, yes, those things happened but if you really really wanted to win this competition you would find a way and make it your PRIORITY. I was disappointed in his lack of effort or enthusiasm shown. And when he told Christian he did not try any of his clothes on a "model" -- a real body -- come on Geoffrey!!! You need to see it on someone. Really, after this visit, I thought he doesn't want to win.
Nancy - I thought Nancy's designs were nice but nothing earth shattering. Pretty basic designs, it was more her fabric choices that stood out. I don't think her designs were anything new. I loved her fluid dress due to the fabric but the design was a pretty basic shape. I felt she really was listening to the judge's comments and if she should continue she will make the changes they recommended. She wants it.
Sergio - I actually liked the three dresses he showed overall. Yes, they do need some editing but I was surprised that I liked them. I liked the shape of his first dress but didn't think it needed to be so see-through. The 2nd I hated the zig zag hem and the fringe hanging and the sleeves were kind of interesting but all of it combined was too much. The 3rd dress I really loved. So pretty -- it made an impact. I think he will continue and if he can EDIT and listen to the judges comments it may be an interesting collection. And get rid of the Politcal connection already.
Victoria - I wasn't a fan of the beige put loved the PINK coat she showed. And I HATED all her branding, no one knows you yet girl! I felt Christian should have told her to tone that down. I didn't like the embroidery, she just had so many different ideas she tried to combine. Honestly I don't really remember much about the three pieces she showed other than the Pink Coat, the embroidered hats, and her branding. So I think she didn't make much of an impact but you know the judges will put her through.
Again, no stand out designer for me. An Online poll asked Who should Win. Results were: Geoffrey (59%), Nancy (22%), Sergio (11%) and then Victoria (8%) in that order.
I feel no one stood out and all 4 will go on.

Everyone had a good show. Victoria’s was my least favorite. Alternatively, the latest dress she did was fantastic. Sergio was Sergio, but he did try something out of his box.
Nancy was my favorite. I’m so glad Geoffrey won. His clothes are no where near my taste, but I appreciate what he created. I hope his career and brand really takes off after his win.
All in all I thought this one of the best seasons in a long time.

I’m good with Geoffrey winning. I would have been happy with Nancy winning too.
I didn’t see Sergio’s see-through dress in his show. I liked that one. He could have done something about the bottom. He just doesn’t want to take anyone’s advice ever.
Victoria’s pink blazer dress was really nice-well made. Her last look was beautiful. Especially if you’re super tall and thin. She just had to include her name on one. Even after the judges , Christian & that stylist told her not to.

I won't get to watch until tomorrow but I had to come in and see who won - YAY Geoffrey!!! I couldn't decide between him and Nancy as my season fav's so i was good with either winning. He's just so nice and needed this badly - I hope everything good comes to him! I feel that Nancy will do super well going forward - she has a LOT of fans - good for her! Sergio was a pain but I had gotten used to him and he is very talented and already has a good career. Victoria? Didn't care for her this season, but wouldn't wish bad on her, just glad she didn't win!

I really wanted Nancy to win but am happy for Geoffrey.
I thought Victoria's collection was very nice but kind of bland although I would love the pink coat dress she made. I was happy Sergio made some changes and he really didn't seem like such a jerk by the end. I did think his collection was a little costume. I loved Nancy's collection but maybe a couple of the dresses could have had a little more to them. I think she may end up being the most successful after all is said and done.
I really hope this is good for Geoffrey and he starts to have some more confidence and is a little less weepy. His collection was definitely interesting and unique.
