Dramaphile Lol at “Ol flaps and straps” And I agree with everything you stated. I wish I'd invented the term, I saw it on a review post hating on Brandon and had to adopt it!

I loved Brandon's coat but who wants a crop top and bare toes in the winter?
Kentaro's I loved from the waist up but DNW snow shorts. So bizarre.
Ayana's the coat I could maybe see with a totally different look. The jumper was strange. It looks like a romper my kid wore last year. Nope.
Kenya I hated the coat fabric until I saw it on the runway but then I liked it. I agree it wasn't super impressive overall though.
And Margarita I think I'm slightly more fond of than most people here but she was super on my nerves this episode. I did like her coat though. I kind of think the judges might be right about her and with more time she will show something really cool. Crossing my fingers.
5 collections is absurd though, even if they only end up showing 3 (or 4).

Haven't they done this before in past seasons where the designers have to show a small capsule of the collection and then they eliminate to move the top 3 forward to fashion week? yup. That's what will happen. The top 6 present collections at fashion week anyways (eliminated designers have "dummy collections" to keep the finalists a secret), so it's just added drama for them to string out their indecision over to the next episode.

Omg to Kentaro's explanation of his piano piece. He is so extra it's amazing.

Not surprised by the top 3 but I'm pissed at their last choice to move on.

I was pretty underwhelmed by almost everyone. I hope they bring it on the run way.

I laughed so hard at Kentaros explanation of his collection with the piano piece I woke up my baby. But then was super confused at his different explanation at the showing.
I'm confused, I thought only 3 were moving on? Why did they choose 4? I think it should have been Kenya. Her designs were wearable to the average woman more I think.
Loved Brandon's print. But I have a thing for flamingos.

I didn't like Brandon's because they are all the same print. Boring.
I feel like Kenya sent the wrong 2 items to show. She had way better/more interesting pieces than the black dress.
Margarita has too much crazy print. It needs to be toned down a lot.

Tim’s reaction to Kentaro’s piano explanation was gold!
I don’t get Brandon’s old lady flamingo print, and I’m glad he actually got a less than perfect critique for once.
I guess pastel neutrals are the thing right now? I’m glad Margarita made it through even though her prints are super loud. At least someone’s show will have some color in it besides grey and cream and light pink.
I think Kenya and Kentaro both made some odd choices for their two looks. Kentaro’s white look was too much, and the makeup was awful. Kenya’s black dress fit weird. She had better looks in her rack. Sad she didn’t make it, but the competition was fierce.
Virtual Heidi on the runway was pretty funny.
I’m actually most excited to see Kentaro’s runway collection because I think it’ll be the most interesting.

Dramaphile, I was wondering why Kenya picked those looks too. The only thing I can think of was each designer had their 2 models picked out already and she didn't have anything else to fit them in.

Yeah she mentioned something about that. I imagine having multiple model sizes ads a whole different level of challenge to this. Seems each of them was assigned a “standard” sized model and a plus size one for this.

Seemed like the other designers had a couple different outfits to choose from.

WTAF to Kentaro's inspiration. Omg. I'm still laughing an hour later. So strange. Tim's face was priceless. You are all of us Tim. And it seemed kind of strange he literally had no one for Tim to meet, not a single friend.
I was pretty underwhelmed by Ayana's runway but I think she will step it up on the main show.
I was sad to see Kenya go but just based on the looks everyone showed hers were worst, IMO. I wish she'd had a chance to show more, I think she had some good stuff.
Kentaro's hair and makeup was bizarre and not in a good way.
I do like Brandon's print, damnit.
I loved Margarita's stuff. I would never wear any of it but she loves what she does so much and I love her for it. I felt so heartbroken seeing her preview for next time. We were in PR a couple years ago and it was just like Tim's visit, so colorful and beautiful.

I kept wondering when fashion week was in relation to the hurricane in PR. While I would never wear all that bight stuff, it was beautiful and there is a market for her. I didn't like that they were telling her it wasn't "new York" enough.
(never thought I would defend Margarita..)

I didn't like that they said that to her, when it's definitely cultural. They would never say that to Ayana about being a modest designer. Also, she was the only one to come up with her own pattern.

I also feel weird about coming around Margarita but she surprised me in a good way. I went "ooh color!" after seeing all the earth tones and peachy pink everyone else used.

The judges definitely did a disservice to Brandon by not giving him better critiques throughout the season. He made what he's always made and now they are calling it sloppy, which I think couldve been said about several of his looks this year.

She's annoyed the hell out of my all season, but the pieces Margarita showed were stun. ning. Those pants, I mean. They were amazing. And I do really love Brandon's print, but I think mathlete is right, as well as whoever said that on the episode. He's gotten very little, if any constructive feedback. I don't think he'll win. I really appreciated the fact she blinged out the clothes herself instead of buying something pre-sequined. Margarita has really been grating on me lately, but I felt like her collection was at least true to herself, and the judges were a little harsh saying it wasn't "New York" enough. There's fashion in places besides NYC, guys. I was saying to a friend - if anyone else had made their entire collection with that flamingo print, the judges would have been saying it looked old lady-ish upholstery fabric. I agree with PPs that Brandon didn't get enough constructive criticism during the season - the fact he's napping in the preview makes me really hopeful he gets so overconfident he screws something up. I really want Ayana to win (we didn't seem to get a good look at it but there's a gown I saw in her collection that looks amazing and I can't wait to see it on the runway). Also, Tim's face during Kentaro's explanation. Kudos to him, I would not have been able to be so composed. Did love we got to see Kentaro play the piano, though, even if the inspiration was... odd.

I guess I don't know fashion (no shock there). I did not like anything Margarita made and I think she should have been out. I am annoyed about that.
I feel based on season it should have been Kentaro, Brandon, and Ayanna.
Based on just this challenge: Brandon, Ayanna, and Kenya.

FINALE TONIGHT!!!
Who's got predictions?
I want it to be Ayana sooooo bad, really hoping the Judges see past Brandon's straps and flaps and realize his designs are all the same.
It's probably going to be effing Brandon, though.

Can Liris be the permanent 4th judge next year and we ditch the guest 'expert' celebs? She's the real star of this season.

I am!
I was so happy Margarita's parents made it to the show.
I'm OK with who won. I wish it had been someone else, but I'm OK with it.
Cannot WAIT for the reunion special on the 30th.
