I have to say I am really disappointed. I wanted Jillian to win. Out of four seasons, the person that I liked best has never won!!

I knew it was gonna get Christian. Rami had great wearable stuff though but you know how PR always wants the crazy original designers. He is very talented for being 21 or 22. I think he'll have a great future. This season definitely had the nicest collections.

I wanted Jillian to win also. I thought her and Ramy had the most wearable and accessible collections. Christian's was certainly creative and well-made but it was too out there for me. Plus the first several outfits were black and started to all look the same to me. Victoria Beckham is like a living robot, she has no personality and I could have cared less what she thought of any of the clothes. Of course, she liked Christian's clothes best though. I think Christian's personality is a big part of why he won. I don't know that I would ever wear anything he made though. Jillian is from Long Island{as am I}, so maybe she'll open a shop around here and I could buy one of her designs.

I guess I just based my opinion on who is most marketable, since the winner will be selling their line on Bluefly.com. I think that Jillian and Rami's clothes will be very wearable and figure-friendly. I can't see anyone getting amped to buy a line of huge ruffly collars and feathered dresses.

I knew it was going to be Christian. He was my favorite personality wise and I think he's really creative. I wouldn't wear his stuff, but I enjoyed watching him.

Jillian and Rami did well also though. I think this was such a strong season and I bet they all do well in the future.

I've been a fan of Christian all along, so of course I am thrilled.

In the second-to-last episode where we got the sneak peeks, I was really interested in Jillian's clothes & couldn't wait for the finale, but I was not that impressed once on the runway. She had a few pieces that really wow'd me, but the overall collection I thought was...oh, I don't know...there was just something off and didn't connect with me.

I thought Rami's was okay. I was very impressed with his craftsmanship and am still trying to figure out how some of those dresses were sewn together and look so precise with the fluttery draping. Amazing. Overall, I didn't get a wow from the fashions...just the work. I agreed with Nina on her comment about Rami's choice in colors. I think I was also let down because I seem to recall some things on Rami's rack in the sneak peek episode that impressed me & made me want more...but I didn't see them on the runway.

I agree with the above poster about V Beckham. I was looking forward to seeing her on the show, and she mostly frowned & wasn't bubbly and sparkly...even when the introduced her. The frown reminded me of that thing the Olsen twins do for the camera...that pout/frown thinking it does wonders for their cheekbones on camera. I don't know...not into her as I hoped.

As for Christian...his clothing definitely blew me away. Yes, the runway outfits are not wearable for the average masses, but the concepts and look he puts out there can easily be toned down and made mainstream in limited doses...and they will definitely have a strong look (or shall I say Fierce!) in a simple way.

Confession: I cried when Christian cried.

I really wish they would spend a little more time at the end...savoring and basking in the moment with the winner. It's like they announce the winner, spend 5 mins on the win, and it's over. I've thought that on every single season finale.

Good season! I'm glad it's over though. Watching and keeping up on a reality show is really a commitment. PR is the only one I watch, so fortunately, it's not on year-round.

I'm so glad that Rami won! You know what I think people forget-what goes down the runway is not exactly what goes in stores. Remember the couture episode where they had to make a second ready-to-wear outfit? I think Christian will do that again. The show is meant to thrill and shock, and he'll make clothing much more suitable for the average woman to sell. He's such a talented young man, I can't wait to see what happens!

I am also thrilled that Christian won. He really is talented. I thought all 3 did awesome. I can't wait to see what becomes of Christian because he really is gifted for his age.
