| Mondo might not have won, but he's the star of the season |
Season 8 has been kind of awful in terms of a lot of the designs and the unfathomable and inconsistent judging. It's been a winner in terms of psychodrama, however, that's what's really important in reality TV. There has been one break-out star in the season's crop of designers, though. Mondo Guerra showed week after week, challenge after cracked out challenge that he could always make it work, getting stronger every week. He could have won more challenges than he did, but that's not how the show works. After winning a number of challenges in a row they had to start to give the win to whichever other designer came close just to keep it a horse race. Thursday night was the finale. And Mondo didn't win. Surprising? Not really.It was close if you compare the winner's (Gretchen Jones) strongest looks with Mondo's weakest. And reality TV doesn't want Secretariat. It wants suspense and surprises. Meanwhile, check anywhere on the Internets for a series of tubes full of outrage and anger. Project Rungay is this family's favorite source of fashion angst, but it's pretty much everywhere this week.
Having worked in the 'rag' trade in my misspent youth, I am astounded at this program. I like Tim Gunn but don't like the program much. I miss designers like Coco Chanel and Givenchy. Both are rolling in their graves.
