It is pathetic that Chelsea went home when that whiner Victoria stayed??!! She has gotten help week after week. That whole "my english" b.s. is such a baby whining excuse! And then she blows off Christian??!! You got some nerve lady! I wish she would have gone home! She wants to do what she wants to do and not the challenge.In other words she is a one trick pony! BAD DECISION !!!! Andddd Nancy should have won this one! FRINGE WAS THE WINNER?? REALLY?? Sergio and that dress suck!

Say what you want about the show, but I do think the Producers are striving to keep it current and up to date past the early 2000's scandal with H.W.'s arrest (former producer) which has nothing to do with talented artists/designers and an inspiring show dealing with creations of limitless ideas & inspirational People. Not only do the current Panel reflect the strong-hold of historical & current reflection as a whole, but are necessary to balance out this current Fashion Industry's true spirit!
