Yeah, but I personally think the dialogue is good. The producers need to hear what viewers say - and adjust accordingly.

I'm coming to think this IS the worst season? No couture challenge, probably because only half the contestants could pull it off. Huge miss on the avant garde challenge, again because they don't have the chops. Korto does nice things, but I'm thinking of her as the Uli of this season. Leanne's got skills. Jerell seems to know what he's doing, but he's missing the mark on the styling of his models... way too over the top. Other than those three, meh.

I can't say much for the talent of this season's contestants, since I can't even make a scarf (it's true - my scarf turned into a triangle somehow), but I'm just not as entertained as I was before. I'm just bored when I watch this show this season. Can't really say why for sure but I'm thinking it's that the contestants are all just boring (or irritating - like the guy who speaks of himself in the 3rd person and the one that says everything is 'licious'). I just can't get into it this season.

This is definately the worst and a poor way for Bravo to say good bye.

The short season with 6 going to fashion week made this much less of a competition and almost pointless from an entertainment standpoint. We lost the tension as it builds to the, often surprising, top 3. The personalities were not diverse. Everyone was quiet, or bitchy and quiet or acting to get screen time. No interesting banter, friendships, humor or compelling personalities. Leannes subtle dry wit is the exception and too bad there was no one there to enjoy it.

I Would called this is Weakest Season by far because this season seems weak consider terms of the designers .they just lack of creativity,inovatif and potential .i just dont think they are strong enough and most of their performances are stiff and perdictable .no one really think outside the box .any one of the top 5 designers in previous cycle would beat them exclude miss wendy season 1

With the exception of maybe Leanne or Korto, none of these amateurs would have been able to tread water with the designers in an exceptional past season (i.e., 2 or 4).

I agree with this but I would say seasons one and two with the exception of maybe Christian.

No one is keeping their blogs current other than Tim. And when Kors does, it is brief. Nina has not even signed on to do one. Even the hair stylist, Jeanne, has dropped the ball. It is hard to get excited when the people putting on this show have lost interest.

It is unfair to say that because in season 4, the designers were allowed to make anything for the avant garde challenge. This season, they had to design based on their birthsigns, and so their creativity was somewhat limited.

I remember reading that Top Chef had to actively recruit for their last season. The caliber of applicants just wasn't there.

I wonder if the same thing is going on with PR. I wonder if the really good designers just don't want to go on the show - either they don't need it, can't get time off from work, etc.
