2. I suspect he will be the favorite pick.
But I have a sentimental favorite.

4. I voted for Bradley.
He seemed like a nice guy and I hope he wins the 10 thou.

5. Although I liked Bradley's personality
I voted for Kayne. I actually liked his gown better than anyone else's last night. I didn't see it close up, so maybe their criticisms were deserved, but from what I saw, it was much sexier and looked sewn much better than Jeffery's.

But then, I also loved Austin Scarlett, and wished he had won.

8. I think if Kayne had one more day he would have nailed it
I loved how the Bustier in the back slanted with the tie in the back instead of the normal straight up the back. The dress had an amazing flow that was a far cry from Kayne's normal pageant look. But the front of the dress was poorly put together and perhaps a poor choice in materials for the bustier. But personally all of the dresses sucked last nights ESPECIALLY Jeffrey's

6. Jeffrey
Mad skills. I so "get" this guy, he lets the fabric inspire, something few of the other designers have demonstrated. Laura bush's designer should take lessons in fabric choice from him. :D

7. Michael all the way
That guy has a classic style that fuses hip-hop with high fashion. Any of his stuff, in fact all of the stuff he has done I would wear (well, he'd have to have about 3 more days to complete the couture dress). When I first saw Michael in the casting special, I thought he was designing 'Hoochee Mama' clothes and yet the guy has a styling that is unique and wearable for all women. I knew he was a contender when I saw the outfit for the Dog Owner - classic prim linen dress in the front cut out in the back with an adorable tie at the top. I loved that dress. Hell the guy even made coffee filters look glam

Jeffrey is too shredded and too one-dimension. Michael is the only guy who doesn't have one style, the other 5 are pretty much 1-note designers: Jeffry - Shredded, Uli - Long Flowly with Prints, Kayne - Beauty Pageant, Laura - uptight middle age woman disturbingly thin

9. I voted for Jeffrey. Although he has personality issues, this is a design
contest and should not be a popularity contest. Jeffrey is brilliant. He is innovative, creative and his workmanship is excellent. I also think he got gypped out of the recycling project. Michael's outfit was nice but looked like it was reclaimed garbage..that plastic boa??? Very unfinished looking. Jeffrey's dress was stunning and was totally wearable.

BTW...I love this show!

13. Yes, it is a design contest & how many times has Jeffrey at the bottom?
Michael has consistantly been at the top for every single outfit. He has a style like the others but he fits his style into the challenge, not fit the challenge into his style.

Jeffrey is a pompous asshole and although I had no problems with his beef with Angela, he had no right to treat her mother that way. He's been on the chopping block not once, but TWICE!! Michael hasn't even been in the bottom three

15. Everytime Jeffrey's name is said
I mentally say "the ass" after it. Could someone please explain to me way the fashionistas liked that plaid nightmare from last night? The mix of plaid patterns was eye searng, and the dress looked like someone had taken a bag of fabric scraps, thrown them up in the air, and sewed them together as they landed.

My favorites to win are Micheal and Uli. Both have consistantly turned out great outfits and have fulfilled the challenge requirements while staying true to their own creative visions. I like Laura's clean lines, but she's gotta break out of the black-and-white rut she's in. I love Kayne, but I fear he is not long for this competiton. The world's so cruel to glittery guys...

19. I have no idea. That dress was awful.
I don't get why the judges love Jeffrey so much. I'd easily put him at the bottom of the pack right now.

20. Jeffrey won because he came closest to the challenge.
They said he understood Hot coterie. Hell, I can't even spell it. If anybody understands Au Coutier or, whateva, could you please explain it to us dungaree denizens?

11. Michael is my favorite, by far!
What a talented sweetie-pie he is! I love that he's a thinker, and a gentleman, and seems humble and gracious. It's a hard thing to pull off when you are as talented as he is.

Over on the "Blogging Project Runway", which I read, but don't post on, the families and the designers all post there. His mother, Pam, seems as sweet as he is. You can tell she raised him well.

I hope he takes the whole thing. I think American design could use the shot in the arm this young man could give it.

18. I voted for Allison
Her removal was unbelievable, and this season is showing how much the producers are tinkering with the outcome, IMHO.

I really like Michael. His clothes are gorgeous, and he should win. I also like Laura and Uli. Kayne's funny. I'm not sure about his clothes. I can't WAIT till Jeffrey finally is gone, and if he's in the top 3, I'll never watch the show again. I don't care how "brilliant" he supposedly is. His behavior towards Angela's mother should have gotten him removed. ("It's not my fault she can't walk"? Excuse me? Then again, maybe it's good that INC finds out what they might be getting themselves into.)

He's nasty, he's petulant, and he would be a nightmare to work with.

22. I voted for someone who I thought was Auffed too early and who
deserved more of a chance than he got. If he had had Sandino's or Jeffrey's difficult personality, I think he would have made it through longer. They seem to like that.
