I didn't watch the finale (not seen the show since Bert got eliminated, though not because of that, lol) but just saw who won... Can't say I'm surprised but just disappointed with how far this show has fallen. In season's past, someone like that would have been eliminated long ago. When I think of all the good designers who didn't even make it to the finale (Gordana!!!) and now it's season 9 and everyone in the finale is crap and surprise, surprise, crap wins.
They need to rethink their casting strategy or put the show to rest because I can't see it surviving another season with as mediocre a cast as this season.
Bring on the All Stars where designers are actually talented.
