Michael C was the great surprise for us. His dress was loved by all of the judges when DH and I thought it was rather boring and non-descript. But, on the strength of that dress along with the other clothes he had developed during the season, Michael C is in the final four.
Mondo, of course is in. His gutsy work with patterns and colors and ability to always turn something fabulous up under pressure pretty much guaranteed that he would be in the final four. I think it is quite possible that he will win it all, but we'll have the fun of the next two episodes to see if I'm right.
Andy is in. Although he had some times when his designs didn't come through, he wasn't afraid to play with color and he is fabulous with construction. It's not that easy to put disparate fabrics together and not have the seams pucker. It's also not that easy to make the drapes perfect and pants fit exactly. He's got great skills.
Gretchen is not my favorite, and it seemed that her vision grew more cloudy as the season progressed, but she's a strong designer and just needs to remember to be on edge with her designs to avoid looking "off the rack" from your local mall store. She's got a shot at winning it all, but I doubt that she'll be able to pull it off. She'll do fine with her carreer, though. She's got a good sense for "off the rack" design.
And that left April on the outs. No real surprise there. She had done some very innovative design, but her pallette was black, black, and more black. She really needed to break out of her box and she didn't.
Why do I love this show? It is a show about creating under pressure, thinking outside of the box, and pushing one's creative limits to new heights (or lows). I enjoy any shows that celebrate creativity and Project Runway is a great example.
