Reply #19: I saw them too.

The thing about Santino is that he was an ass, but he was also right much of the time, when he said things like Kara being somewhat weak, and Nick's suit for Daniel being too feminine and sewn badly. Aside from some insecurity issues, and trying to self-destruct with his fuckyouwear on some challenges, I didn't think it fair to demonize him toward the end. It seemed odd to have Daniel lecturing him on his unfinished Kara jumpsuit when Daniel didn't finish Chloe's dress hem and made her look like an old hoochie mamma.

Santino is setting off my underdog alarm. And I thought his collection was quite good, and hardly "Santino-ed" at all. Tim often said his original designs were quite good, if only he wouldn't stray from them and add so much in the creative process.

Did you watch the reunion show? I still have to catch it, though I hear that Daniel F. ends up looking more like an ass than I wanted him to. I thought he was sweet until I saw his website. It's sort of... self-congratulatory. Until then, I thought he was soft spoken, and had integrity when he left. I still think that, and that he had nice eyes, but I can see why folks thought he was annoying.
