I agree with many of the comments on there is too much "drama" or reality TV being shown and very little design process which made the earlier shows far more interested in design. I do believe the quality of the designers and also the judges is significantly poorer than prior seasons - especially the Bravo years. Michael C. continuing to "win" with poorly constructed dresses (despite the judges' comments), tired design and tasteless lengths seems to be more that the judges want to show Team Luxe that they were wrong about him than giving a good quality dress such as Mondo's a win.

Gretchen does need to show that she is not a one note designer and also pair her designs with something other than boots.

I have stopped watching this on TV and now do it on-line so I can miss the drama and the commercials. It is a far more pleasant experience.
